Rating: K+
Pairings: SPITFIRE!
uest Stars: Robin and the rest of The Team
NOTE: None, Really
To say that Robin and Wally were bored was an understatement.
They were practically dying from not being able to do anything. Last mission Wally had broken his ankle, not badly it'd be healed by the time school started up again on Monday, but it was made painfully clear that if Wally were to try to run, or even walk, Flash would personally chain him to the floor.
Robin had received a bullet wound from the last encounter with Sportsmaster and Batman had threatened to ground the boy, both Robin and Dick, if he were to try and go fight anyone.
So that's how they found themselves lying on the couch groaning at the top of their lungs.
Wally was fidgeting wildly from not being able to move since Thursday and the fact that the rest of the team had gone on a mission by themselves didn't help him much. He had already burned a hole in the couch from fear gripping at his chest in fear for a certain archer.
Robin had noticed long ago how anxious his friend was and was beginning to feel sorry for the couch. Not that he was any better; a white bandage was wrapped around his arm from the shoulder down making it impossible for the bird to fly.
"Wally," Robin said staring up at the ceiling. No answer, "Wally." When no answer came he looked over to see Wally vibrating wildly, the couch was now smoking wildly. "Yo! KF!" Robin screamed. "Don't set the couch on fire! It didn't do anything!"
Wally jumped and turned towards his best friend and gave a forced smile, "sorry dude, just worried about Art-I mean the team and I really want to run."
Robin arched an eyebrow, but didn't push the matter it wasn't his business. That and it wasn't like Kid Flash would pull down his mask long enough to talk about his fears.
So Robin just smirked and said, "So KF want to do something totally asterous?"
Kid Flash arched an eyebrow, "and that would be?"
"Paint the Batmobile pink?" The little bird tried to say it as a statement, but it came out as a question.
Wally shook his head, "We've been there and done that." he said with a soft smirk as Robin accomplished his mission of distract Wally. "Besides I'd rather not be forced into hiding for a week again." Wally half joked.
"Oh come on Walls I don't think he really would've killed you."
"Are you kidding me? He threw a Bat-arrange at me! It exploded!"
"And he missed, trust me if he wanted you dead you'd be dead."
"Oh..."
An awkward silence entered the room, before the two boys smirked and as if by some telepathic communication both jumped up.
"I'll grab the paint!" Wally yelled and using his crutches hobbled off to try and get the paint.
"I've got the brushes," Robin said with a choked laugh, seeing a speedster trying to hurry with crutches was funny.
"Don't laugh!" Wally snapped, from the kitchen counter as he climbed on top of it shakily and grabbed the paint above. Silently wondering why M'gann had put the paint there.
Robin had already managed to find multiple paint brushes and other tools and smiling at Wally he asked, "You ready?"
With a nod Wally headed out towards the Cave Hanger.
Robin grabbed a ladder, and climbed up it quickly, figuring that the walking accident wouldn't be getting on a ladder anytime soon.
"Ready..." Robin let out his signature laugh as he prepared a paintbrush full of black paint.
"Set..." Wally began to dip his brush in red paint.
"Go!" Both screamed and attacked the wall.
By the time the team got back the cave wall was brightly colored with Flash, Kid Flash, Robin, and Batman symbols, along with others.
Artemis found one that she had very mixed feelings about. It was a picture of a heart with an A and W in it, obviously written by Robin, over it was a bunch of red paint, obviously from Wally trying to blur it out.
There were several games of tic-tac-toe and some hang men games. (Most of Robin's words came from his own personal dictionary. Including whelmed, traught, and asterous.)
There were a couple Aquaman pictures and a crude drawing of Mars. (Okay so it was just a labeled red circle, but good enough in Wally's book)
A Superman symbol had been crossed out and labeled as the Superjerk of the Century; this had gotten even Superboy to smile slightly.
What made it the best though was the giant Welcome Back in the middle, a giant YJ in the background.
It was true that the two heroes spent a week cleaning up their paint mess, but in their minds it had been worth it.
To Kid Flash, it had simply been something to do, to have fun.
To Robin, it had been a way to distract his best friend from the hidden fear he was feeling.
To everyone, it had been a surprise and a good laugh.
That is until Batman found a pink Batmobile sitting in the Batcave's garage, the second the two boys heard the sound of his name they shared a panicked look and Robin jumped onto Wally's back and abandoning all safety both took off running.
However that didn't stop from them from laughing.
So here's my lame attempt at humor….ya not my strongest genre *shrugs*
Anyways hopefully you enjoyed this, actually
Quick Trivia: This story was the third story I wrote for this group of stories, but I've waited til now to post it XD So if something doesn't fit in I'm sorry that would be because I wrote it as one of the first fics XD
Also let's do a vote count:
Abused: 7
Alive: 3
Fear Gas: 4
So we have Abused first, than Fear Gas, than Alive, *shrugs* works for me :D I'll post the stories in that order :D
So...
UP NEXT: Abused (Fact: There was a scarey moment when I thought I had deleted this XD)
Summary: It all started when Artemis threw a cup at his head and didn't see the fear that entered his eyes as she so
"M'gann almost died!" Artemis screamed, an angry Superboy glaring at Wally from behind her, but said nothing, figuring that the blond would be enough.
"I-I-I," Wally stuttered, for once in his life he had no answer. It was true, all of it was true. "I didn't mean to."
"You didn't mean to of course not, but you never use that stupid head of yours! You stupid worthless idiot! Without those powers of yours you'd be nothing!" Artemis screamed throwing a glass at the teenager as he yelped and ducked under it, green eyes full of a new kind of pain and fear.
