A/N This is the sequel to my other story Wally's Secret, I advise that you read that first. I'm going to be honest with you, I have no guarantees that I will be able to finish this fic. I am back in college now, and being in college really messes with my writing mojo, as well as taking up a lot of my time. So while I will do my best to complete this story, but I doubt I will be able to keep up the pace I set on the last story. I plan to update this fic every other day, rather than everyday like the last one. But I promise I will do my very best to complete this.
So if you if my ridiculously long Author's Note hasn't scared you away, please enjoy the story.

Prologue
Central City
July 4, 12:04 CDT
Kid Flash ducked another rubber chicken that had been aiming for his head. He cringed as the rubber gag exploded behind him.
"James," he said in a scolding voice. "You're off your meds again, aren't you?"
Trickster giggled as he waved around a sack filled with more exploding rubber chickens. "Maaaaaybeeee…" he said slowly.
Kid Flash dodged as he threw another chicken at him. "I don't suppose I can convince you to just turn yourself in."
Trickster pouted. "But I did that last time, and then you never came to play darts with me."
"Yes I did!" Kid Flash protested. He darted forward to try to grab the sack of chickens, but Trickster had gone up against him too many times to fall for that, and jerked the bag away.
"Yeah, but that was almost never," Trickster whined. "Normally you came over every other day, but last time you only came once a week."
"I'm sorry, I was busy!" Kid Flash yelled as another chicken went flying.
Trickster seemed to have underestimated his throw, and the chicken exploded near a large group of civilians that had been standing nearby to watch.
Kid Flash shot forward to try and snatch the bag again, but the Trickster ducked around him.
"Watch it, James, my family's over there," Kid Flash hissed when he got close.
Trickster's eyes widened. "Baby Flash's family is over there?" he whispered back, glancing over at the civilians.
"Yes," Kid Flash hissed. "My family from another country, visiting to enjoy the Fourth of July with us, most of whom have no idea I'm doing this."
Trickster grinned. "I get it, shhh…" he said holding a finger to his lips. He then pouted again. "You still didn't visit me as much as you used to," he said in a normal voice, tossing another chicken at him.
Kid Flash dodged. "I'm sorry, I got accepted into this fancy school and it took up a lot of my time," he said quietly. "But if you turn yourself in, I promise to make sure I have more time and I'll by come more often."
Trickster froze in mid throw. "Promise?" he asked, looking hopeful.
"Promise."
Trickster lowered his hand and seemed to think about that. Kid Flash stood ready to act, depending on what he decided. Eventually Trickster said, "Okay, I'll do it. But I want you to bring at least one of your family too while they are in town, that'd be even more fun."
Kid Flash thought about it for a second. "Deal," he said.
Trickster held out his chicken free hand. "Pinky Swear?"
Kid Flash moved over and hooked pinkies with the young Rogue. "Pinky Swear."
Trickster gave him a huge grin, he then set down his bag of explosives, gave Kid Flash a hug, and then held up his hands in surrender. "Got me again, Baby Flash," he said cheerfully as the police officers came forward and took him away.
Kid Flash sighed in relief, then ducked into an alley, did a quick change of cloths, and slipped back into the crowd of civilians like he'd never left.
His Aunt Molly Weasley was tutting at the whole scene. "In all my days," she said. "Those boys can't be older then the twins, and yet they go around doing such dangerous-"
"Yeah, well, welcome to Central City, Aunt Molly," said Wally sheepishly.
Wally had been giving his family on his mother's side a tour of the city when Trickster had interrupted them with his tantrum.
One of his twin cousins (he was pretty sure it was George) turned to him with a broad grin and said, "So this sort of thing happens here everyday?"
Wally shrugged. "Well, not everyday, but, yeah, pretty much. Eventually people just get used to it and learn when to duck."
"Wicked!" said the other twin (Who he was pretty sure was Fred).
"Alright, kids, excitements over," said Wally's Uncle Arthur. "Lets get back to our tour, shall we?"
As Wally led his family around Central he reflected back on how much had changed since last year.
Exactly one year ago he and his friends, Robin and Aqualad, had broken into a top secret genetics lab called Cadmus and rescued a clone of Superman, called Superboy, from it. The four of them then talked the League into letting them, along with Martian Manhunter's niece, form a covert team as a side branch of the Justice League. After awhile the lovely Artemis, whom Wally had originally hated, but was now dating, joined them later on. Eventually even more young heroes joined the Team, Zatanna, Rocket, Jinx (though only as a reserve member), and Beast Boy.
The Team has since gone on several crazy missions, one of which had them trying to save the retired hero Kent Nelson, who had been the previous Doctor Fate. During that mission, in order to save his friends Wally had donned the Helmet of Fate and became Doctor Fate himself for a few minutes. In doing so he had awakened his own magical potential and had been promoted from his status as a squib to a full-blown wizard.
When the wizarding community noticed this difference he became enrolled in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to receive his magical training. Originally the idea had horrified him, as it would keep him from his duties as Kid Flash, but after some convincing he managed to get is hands on a Time-Turner and some portkeys, enabling him to not only keep his hero life on top of going to Hogwarts, but also to keep going to a muggle school and continuing his studies in those subjects.
While juggling his responsibilities as Flash's protégé, his Team, and as a student at two schools had been difficult, he had managed to handle it just fine.
At first he kept his new status as a wizard a secret from most of the Team, but eventually the truth came out, and he was able to use his new abilities to further help his Team. His identity as a hero had also been discovered by his friends at Hogwarts, but one terrifying meeting with Batman later, he was pretty sure they would keep their mouths shut. One of those friends was a girl named Hermione Granger, who after learning the secret, had eventually become the hero in training, Jinx.
There had been some downsides over the last year as well. For a time there had been a rumor of a mole on the Team. Eventually the mole was discovered to be Wally's friend Roy, otherwise known as Red Arrow. Roy had been another clone created by Cadmus, but he had had no knowledge of it, and has since been freed of their control, and is still considered a good friend. Unfortunately, Roy was now obsessed with finding the original Speedy.
There was also the fact that a mass murderer named Sirius Black had escaped from prison and was after another friend Wally had made at school, Harry Potter. At the end of the school year they found out that the man they thought had been the bad guy was innocent. Instead the real bad guy was his cousin Ron's pet rat, who turned out to be a man named Peter Pettigrew. Pettigrew managed to escape, thanks to aid from Klarion the Witch Boy, and they had yet to find a trace of either of them. But thanks to the Team's intervention Black had been cleared of his murder charges and was now a free man.
Wally pondered all this as he finished his tour outside his Uncle Barry's house, where they were all having dinner, before going to watch a fireworks show.
His family went inside and quickly filled Wally's Aunt Iris in on what they had seen in town.
While they did that Wally pulled his cousin Ron aside.
Ron gave Wally an admirative look, "Do you really do things like that a lot?" he asked. Ron had been another one of the friends that had found out Wally's secret.
Wally shrugged. "Around here, more or less. Team missions are usually a lot more dangerous."
"Bloody Hell," muttered Ron.
"Anyway, there's something I want to ask you," Wally continued.
Ron looked at him questioningly. "What?"
"How good are you at playing darts?"

A/N prologue's up, mostly just a summary of what happened in the last fic, plus I've wanted to do something with the Rogues, but I don't know a lot about them. Though for some reason a scene of Trickster with exploding rubber chickens was stuck in my head.
Mission ideas are welcome and appreciated.
