"This is so cool!" Wally exclaimed running around with his newly acquired speed. He sped around his uncle excitedly. Barry smiled in his Flash suit as he grabbed the collar of Wally's Kid Flash suit and pulled him to a stop.
"Now slow down Wally. I know you're excited but…"
"Uncle Barry, I am finally going to meet Batman. And see Green Arrow again," he said happily recalling being rescued by the emerald archer a few times. Barry smiled down at him and riffled his hair.
"Alright Kid Flash. Let's go see them."
Wally smiled as he ran next to his uncle as they head for Star City. Today Wally was going to meet the famed sidekicks Robin and Speedy. To say he was excited would be an understatement. He had met Green Arrow in Gotham when he was little. He learned a few months ago his uncle was Flash, and shortly after did the experiment to become Kid Flash (much to his parents, Iris, and Barry's discomfort and perhaps the rogues' delight) and now he was going to step into the ring with some big time heroes.
-.-
"So why Star city?" Robin asked sitting on the roof a few feet away from Batman, "Is it the 'no meta' policy of Gotham you enforce?"
"Star City is relatively safer. And given the fact that it's Flash who has a side kick now it's better for them not to be in Gotham," Batman answered in his stoically dark voice. Robin looked at him.
"Why I would think that Wal- I mean, Kid Flash would be as calm and level headed as when I've met him," Robin said thinking back to meeting him as a civvie, before he had gotten his powers.
"Level headed?" asked a new voice. Robin turned in the direction Batman was looking to see Green Arrow (Oliver Queen he couldn't help but think) and Speedy (Roy Harper, adopted son of Green Arrow he added). He gave the young archer a large and childish smile. Speedy just frowned. Green Arrow on the other hand smiled and walked forward shaking Batman's hand. Robin blinked behind his mask. Just at a glance it seemed that Speedy had Batman's personality while Robin's was more in Green Arrows.
"Sorry Bats. Teenagers," he said apologetically. Batman grunted. Robin looked up at Speedy.
"So crime good tonight?" he asked hoping for some action. Speedy snorted.
"Are you kidding? Not so much as a pick pocket tonight," he complained. Robin smirked.
"Guess they knew we were coming," he mocked. Speedy rolled his eyes behind his mask.
"Not because of you. I think that they're more worried about the mother hen who'll be coming," Speedy said with a slight shudder. He remembered seeing the news and witnessing how overprotective that man was of his nephew. It was slightly terrifying. Poor guy. He didn't think he'd ever walk again.
With that thought, a gust of wind buffeted the people on the roof as a red blur zipped to the two sidekicks.
"Looks like everyone's here!" he said happily throwing one arm over each of the boy's shoulders. Robin smirked while Roy weaseled his way out of the Flash's hug. He knew from Green Arrow's stories that this man was a serious hugger. Once he was free a yellow and red blur zipped onto the roof skidding to a halt near the edge of the roof. He wobbled a bit only to have his collar grabbed by Batman to make sure he wouldn't fall. Once he had regained his balance he zipped over to Roy.
"Hi! I'm Kid Flash!" he said excitedly taking Roy's hand and shaking it. Roy let out a smirk as the younger let go, "Nice to meet you Speedy!"
He then zipped over to Robin and proceeded to do the same thing. Only then to zip back over to Speedy and look him over carefully.
"Do I know you?" he asked. Green Arrow held back a laugh. Flash on the other hand was openly laughing. Robin was slightly confused and a rare ghost of a smirk came to Batman's lips. Roy looked at Kid Flash like he was crazy, "Because you look really familiar. Like, not just as Speedy. Like… like your civilian life! Do I know you? Do I? Do I? Do I? Because you actually look like a guy I met in Star city. His name was Roy. Is your name Roy? Are you Roy?"
"Whoa. Slow down," he said grabbing the young speedster's shoulders. Kid Flash bounced slightly in anticipation. His smile big and his eyes wide with wonderment and pride. Speedy sighed.
"You sure you aren't part bat or something?"
Batman didn't know why, but he felt his chest swell with pride.
"So you are Roy!"
Robin cackled into the night. Wow. Another Bat. He could get used to this.
…ROY STARTED IT!
