AN: Hi everyone! Don't worry I didn't fall in a hole and break my neck or fall down the stairs and wind up in a cast. ( Though I bet some of you wished it because of the short and infrequent updates.. Be honest! (: ) Really guys sorry about that I'll try to update more often. On to the story! * walks in wrong direction and turns* This way to the story!

In response to a comment I noticed: Diana always seemed to me like she had a soft spot for the flashes and that scene was an excuse for me to squeeze in Superman/ Clark's reaction. Sorry if it seemed too AU though.

Iris West-Allen had seen some pretty crazy things. Things that would have any lesser woman running for the hills. But when your husband and your nephew are superheroes you kind of learn to roll with the punches. But seeing her aforementioned family kidnapped was just a little too much before the broadcast continued she fainted.

Artemis had never thought much about Wally's welfare the smiling speedster always seemed to be in control of any of his problems..aside from getting kidnapped that is. She was currently sitting through a meeting on what they would do about the Flash and Wally's kidnapping. As much as they fought Baywatch was a member of her new family and she would make sure no one hurt those close to her again.

Just then a broadcast flickered on the screen. As the kidnapping had made national news people from Gotham to Smallville were glued to their tv's hoping the best for their protectors. A memory cut in…

4 years before..

A red haired boy sat buried up to his nose in a chemistry book in the back of the classroom, as soon as the bell rang he ran as fast as he could for the exit. ( keep in mind this is before his powers). But the poor boy's exit was blocked by a hulking figure Mitchell Davis Wally's personal bully.. " Hey West! Where do you think your going? We haven't had our daily " chat" yet have we?"

Wally gulped their " chats" usually included him being punched. Mitchell grabbed the back of his jacket and began to haul him toward the bathroom. Wally began to protest and embarrassingly enough beg. " Look my Uncle will be here to pick me up soon could you please not do this today? I'll do your homework for the next week.."

But the bully didn't seem to hear him. Just as he was about to drag Wally completely out of sight a body blocked the entrance to the bathroom. " Just what are you doing to my nephew? Let go of him right now!" Barry's angry voice demanded. Mitch quickly let go and Barry, after making sure that Wally was alright, marched him to the principal.

" This boy was bullying my nephew. I'd like to know what kind of school you're running where this kind of thing happens." a furious Barry chewed the principal out. Needless to say the punk never touched Wally again.

Back in Present Day..

" That was Wally? He was so small! Why didn't he just fight back?" Artemis asked the team. " That was probably before he got his speed. He received it at 12 correct?" Kaldur responded. " guys I hate to interrupt the reminiscing but we've still got two speedsters to find." Robin cut in.

" Ok but where do we start looking?" Super boy asked. As he said that a loud beeping noise was heard from the kitchen M'gann's cooking… Some things never change.

At the Watchtower

" I've found some evidence. Some but not much. Whoever's behind this put a lot of thought into it." Batman said curtly. " It looks like they were both taken at around the same time. It also looks like they were drugged but it doesn't match anything in the databases."

" So we're looking for someone who would know the Flash and Wally well enough that they could guess their secret identities. Smart enough to engineer a untraceable drug. And crazy enough to make a game of it. Is that what I'm getting?" Green Lantern cut in.

" Pretty much. Question is who is it? Their usual villains don't seem like the type to do this." Superman asked. " True but who else would know them well enough?" Batman said again.

AN(2): Thanks for all of the wonderful support guys! And since no one's guessed it yet I'll give the next hint : this particular villain is one of theirs but isn't seen very often outside the comics.( at least not that I've seen) Have a lovely day everyone!
