For Earthdragoon, who was my first follower (of this story) enjoy!
Because Wally was in Faerie.
When Kid Flash 'ceased', Artemis wailed, Nightwing gasped, but Catwoman and Red Hawk saw Shadowcat snarl and bound forward, changing forms to a small young woman in a domino mask who screeched "You bastard! Shion Alfaltras, I will come for him!" Now, the others were looking at the woman who trembled with barely withheld rage. Spinning on her heel, she struck out her hand and roared "Mjolnir! Seven thousand volts!" Deadly lightning arced from her palm to the ground, striking an invisible barrier. Baring her teeth, Adalanta chanted "I am Adalanta Kyle, Unseelie fey of Faerie! This. Gate. Will. Open. For. Me!" Her lightning backlashed, but Jason was already in motion, bracing her as he snarled "She is Adalanta Kyle Todd, of the Gotham Waynes. And my Consort! By the blood of Danu, let us in!"
Addy stood carefully, baring her teeth again when she saw the door form in the air, a hooded figure stepping out. "Brehon Mac Lyr, so nice of you to greet us personally." Her hiss carried across the Arctic. The Fey, now clearly seen as a tall, pale man with pointed ears and silver hair, frowned, his blue eyes offset by his wintry garb. "Adalanta Alfaltras, and her Consort, Jason. Mab will grant you an audience, as you are from the Court of Heroes as well as the Unseelie Court." Addys' eyes were cold with a dark hatred. "Mac Lyr, do not change the topic. As guardian of the Arctic Gate, you know one of the Lower Court of Heroes members came through to Faerie, and you will tell me where he went!" Brehon sneered, "And whose fault is it I guard this Gate?" Addy laughed mirthlessly. "Oh, Brehon, it is not my fault that my lineage alone granted you high punishment for attempting to molest me! In fact, the only thing that is my fault is that you didn't die." Brehons' eyes narrowed. "I honestly do not know what happened to the Hero. But Mab is still waiting for you, and it was not Shion who grabbed him." Growling, Addy swept forward, stopping to bow to Mac Lyr, before calling over her shoulder "Batclan! Speedsters! Archers! Some of you had better be following me!" Well aware Jason had remained at her heel the entire time. As one, all those present surged forward through the door, Nightwing, Artemis, Flash and Impulse in the lead.
Scoffing, Addy turned around. "Listen up. This is No-mans' land between the worlds. Once you pass the treeline-" gesturing to the ominous line of trees to before them. "Time goes a little bit crazy. We could return as if no time passed at all, or in a thousand years." Red Hawk snorted, but she continued "The only ones I would recommend taking with us are the archers and Batclan. Bows and arrows are accepted weapons here- the magic in the very air rejects every other kind- and the Batclan is strong and quick on their feet as a whole." Concern passed over features. "Although, Catwoman, being you are my relative, perhaps you do not want to be here." Catwomans' lenses narrowed. "What do you mean?" Addy smirked "At this moment, you are a latent meta. If certain things come to pass, you will be full blooded, like me, shifter and Unseelie. Capricious, catlike and magical."
Robin, after glaring at Fledgling, Red Robin and Blackbat, asked "What's Unseelie?" Addy seemed to age a millennium in an instant. "Dark fey, under the rulership of Queen Mab. If you wish to be light fey, Seelie, you must not be as dark as us Unseelie, and submit to the ruling of King Oberon and Queen Titania." Red Hawk pulled her impossibly closer, into his protective embrace.
Shaking herself, Addy clapped her hands together, a slight shockwave reverberating through the clearing. She and Red Hawk wore armour, hers the same shade as her panther form, his red gold, the helm shaped like a hawks' head. She wore an elegant mask instead of a full face helm. Together, they strode away, the Batclan leaping after them, each transforming into armour as they took the first step. Bart, Barry and Artemis went next, Kaldur, Conner and M'gann with them. Superman and Wonder Woman turned the others back.
Jason quietly prodded Addy into singing, which she eventually did with vigour, despite not having the best voice. She sang an epic ballad detailing the adventures of Robin Goodfellow, and a Fey named Puck. Once they came upon a castle of pale blue stone, she stopped, raised a finger to her lips, and proceeded. Addy informed the sentry "Addy Kyle Todd to see Queen Mab." The sentry nodded.
