Rumors had been floating around the Watchtower for weeks; someone had taken on a sidekick, the first sidekick of the new generation. Flash had put these off as just that, rumors. After all, nobody had taken on a sidekick since Young Justice had gone off on their space mission, four years ago, who would take one now? That's why he was so surprised when it was brought up by Batman during one of the meetings.
"Black Canary, about your new sidekick-" he was cut off by Green Arrow
"Yeah, what's with that? Didn't you get enough of sidekicks when you were training Young Justice?" Flash looked at Black Canary
"Wait, you mean there really IS a new sidekick? I thought that was just a rumor" Black Canary shook her head
"No, it's true, everyone, meet Banshee" As she said that, a young red haired boy walked into the room, he was wearing a red wifebeater over a mesh shirt and black cargo pants. Flash blinked and looked closer,
"Wait, I know you…Hold up, Tantrum? From the Titans? BC, your new sidekick is Tantrum?" He gestured to the boy, who sighed and gave Flash a annoyed look
"My name is Banshee, Mr. Flash, not Tantrum" Flash shook his head, fully aware of what he was trying to do
"Duse, one, it's Flash, not Mr. Flash, two, you're Tantrum" Banshee glared and crossed his arms
"No, I'm Banshee" Flash leant forwards in his seat
"Taaaannn-truuummmm" Banshee glared harder, almost rivaling the Bat-Glare, and ground out
"Baaaaannn-sheeeeee" Flash smirked, and one final time, said his piece
"Tantrum" an invisible line clearly snapped in Banshee's mind, and he started to shout
"BANSHEE! MY NAME IS BANSHEE! GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL! B.A.N.S.H.E.E!" Flash smirked
"Yep, that's definitely Tantrum" Banshee closed his eyes and took a deep breath
"I apologise for losing my temper, I should have kept it under control. I have no right to be angry at you for recognizing me by a name I went by as a toddler, when we were both on the Titans." Flash blinked; shocked at the boy letting the issue go so quickly, before smiling
"Riiight, I forgot, you and the others were raised by Raven and some monks, you've probably spent years learning to control your temper" Banshee nodded
"Indeed, I have grown a great deal from the young boy you once knew." Flash turned to Black Canary
"Geeze, BC, I knew you'd offered to Raven that you'd train him, but I never knew she took you up on it." Black Canary nodded
"Well think Flash, how powerful were his yells at three years old? Raven contacted me when he was eight to help him control his powers when it got to the point that he was having trouble talking without unleashing sound waves" Flash nodded
"Oh yeah, I remember that! You blasted me across the room blowing out your candles!" Banshee blushed slightly and rubbed the back of his head
"Ah, yes…I apologize for that…" Flash laughed
"No harm done dude, congrats on becoming a sidekick." It was the start of the new generation of sidekicks. Once a senior member of the League had taken one, everyone decided it was a good idea to get sidekicks again. By the time the Original Young Justice returned from their LONG term mission, there would be a new team of sidekicks, called Sidekicks United; no matter how many times Flash said they shouldn't go by sidekick.
