Bart jogged at first, running would take too much effort up and down these mountains and he had to search properly not half-heartedly, like he would usualy. The wind searching through his hair felt good and it was slowly removing his groggy state.

He had no idea where he was going to look first, so he stopped at the foot of a mountain and listened. Something told him to carry on a bit further and impulsively he followed. He let the impulse carry on for a few miles until he felt like he should go upwards. Bart paused and took a deep breath, it was going to take a lot of energy to get up the mountain he was stood next to. Bart wished Ollie, Clark or even Chloe was with him, things usually ran smoother when he was with someone else.

Something drew Bart up and across the mountain until he almost fell into a cave. He could hear soft voices. He stood on a ledge next to the cave and called Victor. "Cyborg?"

"Yeah, Impulse. You found them?"

"Yup. Found my location yet?"

"One second… Yep we're coming now."

"Right, see you soon."

"Don't go in, Impulse." He knew the boy well.

"Cyborg, I'm in there with Clark, I doubt I'm going to try and kill me."

"Stay out of there, Impulse. You don't know how dangerous you are." Victor groaned as he realised how confusing this mission was.

"See ya." He hardly listened to Ollie, why should he listen to Victor?

"No!" The dial tone sounded. "Ollie's going to kill me." He groaned looking over at the snoozing figure.

Bart walked into the surprisingly light cave, he could hear voices and decided he should run in, grab Clark and run out again. It got darker, as he went further into the cave. Bart ran as fast as he could, he saw Clarks large figure stood staring at another figure. Bart ran and grabbed Clark, hearing an "Ooph." as he did so.

Bart turned to get out of the cave and found an arm extended in front of his face. Bart couldn't slow down quick enough and fell to the floor as his own arm knocked him flat on his back. "Sorry." Muttered a low voice.

"Ow." Moaned Bart holding his nose. He breathed in as he clicked his broken nose back into place with a whimper. He could feel it healing already.

Bart noticed a hand reach out to help him up. Bart reached up with his bloody hand and grasped the hand helping him up. Clark grinned at the boy, "Thanks but I don't need rescuing, not from you anyway." Bart rolled his eyes and turned to look at the older version of him.

"Sorry about that Bart. But you can't take Clark out of this cave. Call me, Kid Flash, it'll make this easier for you." Bart looked around for Kid Flash but couldn't see him, it was really dark.

"What are you doing here?" Bart asked.

"I think it's best that I explain that when the rest of the league appear."

"Don't worry, it will be ok." Clark told Bart putting a hand on his shoulder. "I'm glad you came."

"Well, you were in trouble, what was I supposed to do?" Bart said bashfully, looking at his feet.

Bart heard himself laugh, from across the cave. "You better go and find the league. I think they're lost." Before Kid Flash had even finished Bart was gone. "Was I really that awkward?"

"Give him a break he's… you're… he's my best friend. Probably worried out of his mind. He's not as "cool" as he says he is." Clark was even confused.

"I know." Kid Flash told Clark chuckling to himself.

Am I really gonna be that much of a dick? Bart ran and found the plane, waved to it and ran slightly slower than usual, so they could just about see him, and follow him to the cave.

"Uh oh. He doesn't look to happy." Arthur commented when they saw Bart.

"Is that blood on his face?" Asked Chloe.

"We'll soon see." Muttered Victor, trying to keep up with the blur that was Bart. Soon Bart vanished into the cave.

There was enough space for the plane to hover so Victor could drop some of the passengers off. "One second Victor." Said a low voice that came out of nowhere and a large chunk of the mountain side moved to show a runway. Victor parked on it and climbed out of the plane followed by; Arthur, a groggy Ollie and Chloe.

Bart nodded at them and brought them down a flight of stairs to the main cave. "What the fuck happened to your nose?" Ollie asked angrily.

"I did." Bart muttered.

Clark was stood at the bottom of the stairs. Chloe ran to him and squeezed him tightly. Ollie laughed and walked over to his friend opening his arms for a 'manly' hug.

No one even noticed the figure in the shadows, who moved to the side of the cave and pressed a button opening a huge window in the mountain. The vast amount of light that was let in made all of the guests of the cave blink.

At first no one could see the older Bart the light was too bright behind him. Bart mumbled, "He said to call him, Kid Flash." He waved his arms about to show how ridiculous he thought it was.

"Can you talk to each other through your minds?" Asked Arthur.

Clark laughed, Bart told him, "No I met him before I came to find you. He said it would be easier if we called him Kid Flash."

"Actually I said it would be easier for you Bart." Joined in Kid Flash. He was grinning as he walked over to the group, so they could take a proper look at him.

Chloe's expression changed as soon as she saw him.

Kid Flash had a slightly more filled out face with stubble covering the bottom half of it,' from hiding out in a cave for days on end. His eyes were brighter than Bart's and his smile illuminated them even more. His hair was slightly longer and darker. He didn't look much older than Impulse, he looked around the same age as Clark, but something told the league that he was much wiser. Chloe had never thought of Bart as attractive, more a pain in the ass, but now she was reconsidering everything she had previously thought about Bart.

"Chloe?" Clark whispered.

"Hm?"

"Breath." He chuckled and she did as she was told.


I'm sorry this took sooo long to write, my muse was in Washington and only when she returned from her holiday could I write anything.

I completely made up Kid Flash's looks I'm making him more like the comic books, Bart Allen is the only Impulse in the family of Allen's and West's, the second Kid Flash and the fourth Flash (just so you know.)

I hope you liked and well tell me what you think as always. :D
