.Chapter 3- Normal?
* Mount Justice*
Wally sat with Artemis on the couch laughing. She punched his shoulder and rolled her eyes, halloween just ended and it's been a long night. While Wally was pulling pranks with M'gann and Conner, Artemis and Zatanna were fighting for their lives against a man known as Harm.
"You should've seen Marvin's face when he saw the Martian it was classic" Wally laughed holding his gut.
"Stupid pranks now I'm glad I didn't go" she smirked at him.
"Your halloween sounds much cooler, fighting bad guys, encountering ghost, hanging out with a babe like Zatanna" Wally listed, The archer raised an eyebrow.
"You sure you like Robin?" She asked, a hand instantly covered her mouth.
"Shhhhh, one of our teammates that live here has super hearing" Wally whispered to her. She glared and bite his hand. The ginger let out a high pitched shriek, he yanked his arm back.
"Not cool blondie" he growled, clenching his hand tightly.
"Don't ever try that again" she warned him. Artemis couldn't get over what a thrill that was, the night started off bad, finding out Miss Martian and her crush were an item. But she was okay with that, now she is anyway. Zatanna knew just how to cheer her up,beating up thugs, stalked by a psycho,meeting a literal ghost. Through it all Zatanna had her back.

Robin laid on his bed, his room dark, he stared at the ceiling contemplating. Red Arrow is one of his oldest friends along with Kid Flash and Aqualad. Roy had a point, in the meeting today, he trust his team but if there really is a mole, the prime suspects would be Artemis,Superboy or Miss Martian.
J'onn was unaware of his own niece existence until 5 months ago, although that's not uncommon, M'gann has like a hundred siblings Martian Manhunter can't know all of his sister's kids. Although instead of asking she snuck onto his ship, but he would've sensed if she wasn't being truthful right?
Conner…..well Robin,Wally and Kaldur found him earlier this year in a pod at the cadmus labs. He's a genetically engineered clone of Superman,made specifically to replace the man of steel. Cadmus could've planted all sorts of programs in his mind. It really is a possibility he's a sleeper agent. Although he's an imperfect clone unlike Superman,Conner can't fly, he's not as fast doesn't have super breath,x-ray vision or heat vision. That's something even the young detective has yet to crack.
Then there's Artemis, it wasn't that hard to figure out she's not really Green Arrow's niece. With her family there's no surprise she'd wanna keep her secrets. Although could she be working for the enemy, it's odd she's the one in her family who's not a villain, But she has proven herself on more than one occasion.
"Of course there's no mole what am I thinking?" he asked himself sitting up on his bed.
*Mount Justice*
" Wally, you said you like me…" Artemis asked hesitantly, He nods confirming what she said.
" But you kissed Robin and you may have a crush on him?" She asked raising one eyebrow.
"Technically it's was a mental training exercise soooooooo it technically never happened" Wally laughed to himself" Wally said, Artemis rolled her eyes.
"That means you wanted it to happen West" she said matter-o-factly, the ginger crossed his arms and pouted,even stuck his bottom lip out
"Okay so,what's different?" She glanced at him.
"What do you mean?" he asked confused.
"Me and Robin? How do you feel when you're around us individually?" she asked him. Wally glanced up at the ceiling and thought about the question.
"Well with you, you won't let me get away with goofing off, you can balance out my goofy with your attitude, plus you've got a nice" before the speedster could even finish his sentence there was an arrow pointed at his neck.
"Give me a reason Wally" the archer glared at him, her finger itched against the trigger of her crossbow.
"I was kidding,kidding sheesh" he laughed it off as she lowered her weapon.
"And Robin? Well it's nostalgia since we been through so much together, plus he's always laughs at my jokes, he's nice to me,cute, has a rockin bod, and these incredible deep blue eyes" Wally dreamily.
"Blue? So that's what color they are" the blonde smirked, Wally snapped out of his daydream with a panicked look.
"YOU CANNOT TELL ANYBODY,HIM AND THE BAT WILL SKIN ME ALIVE" Wally pleaded gripping his hands together
"Relax Baywatch, i'm no snitch" Artemis smirked, but a look of realization covered her face. That means Wally knew Robin's true identity, nobody on the team knew,not even the original sidekicks except Kid Flash apparently. Robin trusted him enough to reveal who he really is?, that says alot.
"Wally, we established you like Robin now we need to see if he likes you" She smiled to herself. Unknown to both the Kryptonian clone,was listening the entire time. He glanced at M'gann door and smiled. He knew how happy he was with her, and he wanted his friends to have that. Plus even he'd have to admit Wally and Robin would look cute together.
"We're gonna help our friends" Conner smiles rubbing Wolf's head,The arctic wolf howled in approval.
*Wayne Manor*
Robin couldn't stop thinking about Wally,more specifically the kiss. On the mothership Wally knew they'd die,and in his last moments he decided to kiss Robin. The kiss felt,good like fireworks before the explosion. A tingling sensation went down Robin's body as he remembered the events. He placed his fingers on his lips and traced them lightly.
"Wally" the name came so naturally out of the,small boys mouth. It was only when he looked in the mirror,that he notices the biggest smile on his face.
"Master Richard?" Robin turned to his grandfather figure.
"Oh,Hey Alfred" Robin laughed nervously, the butler raised an eyebrow.
"I just made fresh cinnamon rolls, would you like some?" he asked.
"Of course Alfred, you make the best food" The 13 year old excitedly ran out of the room. Alfred stared at the boy's retreating form and smirked, He knows that look, that boy has a crush,a very bad one too.
*downstairs*
"Yessss" Robin smile grew wider,grabbed a handful of the sticky sweets.
"Dick,how have you been, we haven't gotten a chance to speak" Bruce said sincerely. The boy wonder glanced up at his adoptive father. Bruce Wayne was the most emotionally constipated man in existence, but atleast he's trying.
"I've been fine, still an A+ student, still kicking bad guys butts" he stated, slightly bragging.
"And how's the team?" The man asked, it seems he was leading to something but the younger boy couldn't figure out what.
"Well everyone was a bit shaken up after the training, but we're okay now, Superboy worked with aliens from New Genesis and found out sphere is actually alien tech" Robin listed the events to the best of his knowledge.
"Yea and, how is Kid Flash?" Bruce asked, that's when it all became clear.
" Wally is, Wally why do you ask?" Robin asked suspiciously.
" Well I just noticed you two getting closer and well" Bruce started awkwardly.
"I am so not having this conversation right now" The boy wonder laughed at the tension.
"Dick there comes a time in every boy's life, when he starts getting feelings that he doesn't understand, and it's perfectly natural" Bruce said, a red color forming over his cheeks. Robin's eyes widen to the size of saucers. Bruce Wayne, freaking Batman was not about to give him the talk.
"Nope, nope , no, no, no ,no , no No, we're not discussing this Bruce" Robin said plugging his ears with his fingers.
"Dick, sit" The Dark Knight said in a stern voice, the young teenager reluctantly sat in a chair.
*Mount Justice*
"Recognize Red Arrow B06" the computer announced the archer's arrival at the base.
"Hey Kaldur" Roy smirked at his best friend. The atlantean gave him look of displeasure.
"Roy, do you honestly believe one of our own is a traitor?" Kaldur asked raising one eyebrow.
"Kal if it was just Wally, Robin and you than of course not, but you have three unknowns" The red clad archer emphasized.
"I worked along side them Roy, I trust then with my life" Kaldur defensed his team.
"You don't know then" Roy insisted.
"I do, you don't, but you could" Kaldur said hopeful.
"Aqualad please" Roy rolled his eyes behind the domino mask.
"Join the Team we'd love to have you onboard, your our friend Roy" Kaldur touched his shoulder, he smiles at him gently.
"I work alone now,I'm sorry Kaldur" Roy started walking towards the Zeta Tubes.
"See you later old friend" Roy waves the machine started humming,a blinding light covered him.
"RECOGNIZE RED ARROW B06" the computer announced his departure from the base. Kaldur pinched his nose and let out a deep sigh.
