Chapter 5- Finding Out

The next day it was all over the news and in the papers, headlines like 'Wayne's Ward Diagnosed With Cancer' graced the television screen and papers making Richard inwardly cringe. 'Well that secrets out' Richard thought.

Something had been playing with his stomach since his treatment the day before and reading the headlines didn't make his ordeal any better. At first he thought it was just his nerves but now it was getting worse. A lingering bad taste in his mouth made him want to gag, and soon he found himself retching over and over again into the toilet. Sure, the nurses had given him various anti-nausea medications but that still didn't seem to lessen the urge to puke.

After regaining his composure and putting on some of his favorite 'civvies' he decided to ask Bruce for permission to visit the team, he knew he had a lot of explaining to do with Wally knowing his secret identify and possibly watching the news at that very moment, 'seeing the headlines will probably confuse the hell out of him' Richard frowned as he placed his dark sunglasses on his pale face.

LOCATION: MOUNT JUSTICE

It was another average morning- early training, basic breakfast and then free time after a short briefing

Wally shoveled his corn puffs sleepily into his mouth, making sure not to choke on anything while Rob wasn't there to perform the Heimlich.

He sleepily listened to the tv blaring in the background for anything note worthy or interesting while Conner and M'gann flipped through the various channels

"Are you looking for.."

"Downtown fire had reached.."

"Who lives in a pineapple under the.."

"Phone-hacking scandal alerts..

"..ward, Richard Grayson diagnosed with cancer.."

"Owl's are the only bird that can see the color blue.."

The speedster instantly whipped his head around when he heard his friends alias mentioned. Eyes wide he sprinted over to the couch where M'gann and Conner were debating over what to watch.

"Gimme that for a sec!" Wally exclaimed as he leaned over the couch to practically rip the remote from the unknowing clone's hands, changing back to the news reporter.

"Wally!" Superboy growled as M'gann began to reprimand the speedster for his rudeness. "Shhhhhh" Wally answered eyes still glued to the screen of the tv.

"If you are just joining us, we will repeat Richard Grayson, the adopted ward and son of the multi-billionare Bruce Wayne has been diagnosed with cancer, unfortunately the boy is only thirteen years old and.." the female reporter droned on but Wally heard all that he needed to hear 'cancer!' Wally repeated in his head.

The others just stared at Wally with a mixture of annoyance and concern "W-What is it Wally?" M'gann asked with a concerned voice. When she received no answer she turned her head to the tv, where the picture of Dick Grayson was displayed on the colorful screen. "Do you know him?" M'gann tried again.

"What's cancer?" Superboy interjected with confusion.

But Wally could hear none of it, all he heard was all the blood rushing to his head 'Why didn't he tell me!'

LOCATION: DAILY PLANET, METROPOLIS

Clark Kent sauntered into his office like every other day, two steaming cups of coffee in hand he opened the door to his and (unfortunately) Lois's office.

Lois was telling someone off on the phone while Clark slipped into the office, setting down the coffee before trying to coax Lois off her rant.

"No! I don't care if it's apparently 'impossible' to get the pictures of Wayne's kid!" Clark instantly tensed, 'what would they want with Dick?' he thought silently "you are going to get it, and it better be the best damn picture of your career Jimmy or else you're going to regret it!" she finished by slamming the phone down on the receiver.

"Geez Lois calm down, Jimmy may be frustrating sometimes but he's still just a kid." Clark tried coaxing Lois to the point of simmering instead of boiling.

"CALM DOWN! You seriously did not just tell me to calm down Smallville!" She roared making Clark visibly flinch.

She retreated, realizing she was yelling at the wrong people. Taking a deep breath, she continued "Look Kent" she started, putting a hand up to her forehead. "I'm just stressed, I have to finish this article on Wayne's kid by tonight, and it's kind of hard when you don't have a picture to go along with the front page story." She finished by frowning and looking off to the side thoughtfully.

"Wayne's kid? You mean Dick Grayson? What story exactly?" Clark asked trying to remain calm and casual, while inside he was on the edge of his seat, prying for answers.

"Apparently the kid was just diagnosed with cancer, and with Bruce Wayne being one of the biggest funders of the American Cancer Society and St. Jude's Hospital it was so out of the blue, people are shocked." Lois said regretfully

Clark, trying to pick his jaw off the floor, continued her statement "And it's up to you to feed their curiosity?"

"Unfortunately yes," she sighed "I hate prying like this. I mean really, when did we start to become some trashy tabloid!" she finished angrily. "But then again, bosses orders" she smirked sadly.

"I guess so." Clark agreed, 'Why hadn't Batman told us, I mean the Justice League practically raised the boy! He's like a son to all of us..'Clark thought sadly. 'the rest of the league deserves to know!' he finished making his decision.
