Everyone in the Cave knew that Wally loved pranks, almost as much as he loved running.
Maybe it was the fact that the two often went hand in hand, like peanut butter and jelly, after all most his pranks ended up with him running for his life or perhaps he enjoyed the shocked look on people's faces as a bucket of water came slamming down over their eyes.
Whatever the reason, Wally loved it.
His first prank had been one on his dad, after seeing a kid do it to a teacher, he thought what the hey. He spent about five dollars on Oreos, three on tooth paste, but his dad's face when he bit into the cookie maybe 15 bunks….however the grounding that followed about negative five, definitely not worth it.
After a while his decided he needed a new victim, one who couldn't ground him, his aunt's new boyfriend became his target.
The man had brilliant blond hair, but Wally didn't let that fool him, the man could drone on and on about science forever. Wally loved science and he knew a lot about it, but this man was inhumane.
Wally was almost willing to put money on the fact that the blond man could tell him how the Flash was made….almost.
In fact if the man wasn't so boring he would've made an excellent mentor, but sadly this blond man had been led away from the land of fun, so Wally decided that he needed to bestow it upon him.
And that's how his aunt's new boyfriend found himself stuck to the floor of apartment.
Wally smirked around a tub of ice cream he had freed from the freeze, "about time, you were supposed to be back almost an hour ago, I've been here forever." He jumped off the stool and walked up to him, carefully stepping on the paper he had laid down to protect him from the glue he had so masterfully painted on the floor.
Looking up at the tall blond man he smiled, "maybe you should get a watch."
Wally waited watching his victim, waiting for any signs of surprise, anger, or the usual panic and then anger.
Instead this strange man threw back his head and laughed.
Wally jumped staring up at him.
"Kid when did you? How did you?" The man's blue eyes were wide as he stared around the apartment.
The ten year old wanted to say something clever, something sarcastic and witty like the Flash always did, instead his words came out jumbled and confused, "huh…what?...I just…You just…you're not mad?"
Again this strange man laughed, his blue eyes lighting up, "mad? Why would I be mad at something this amazing?!"
Wally blinked, once, twice, "amazing?" The squeak came out soft and unsure.
"Of course! I can't imagine all the money and planning this took," the man's hands went up as he pointed around the room. I mean how'd you find my apartment, much less get in?"
Wally blushed, "I took the key from my aunt and went to the addresss with hearts around it."
This time it was his aunt's boyfriend's turn to blush, his cheeks going bright red before he returned to normal and asked, "and the glue?"
"I bought a couple different kinds and mixed them together."
"What about the fake tiles?"
"I got them fro—Wait the fake tiles? How did you?" Wally's eyes went wide as suddenly the man's lack of anger made sense.
"Hey kid in my line of work, you need to be able to find the tiny details," the man explained, his blue eyes still sparkling. "While you did a fine job of flattening the fake tiles they still stand out a bit, also the paper your stepping on moves slightly when you walk on it, indicating it's not glued down. However the paper was a nice touch."
"However I bet if I just jump a little…" the man smiled in satisfaction as the tiles he was on lifted off the ground slightly. "See?"
Wally stared eyes wide and mouth a gap, "that. Was. Awesome!" He yelled excitedly as he raced up to the man, his green eyes a light with happiness. "And here I thought you were just some boring police scientist."
Again the man's cheeks turned bright red, as he stepped out of his shoes, "Why thanks you….Wallace right?"
Wally's face twisted up as he shook his head, "Wally. Wallace is too serious sounding."
The blond man laughed, "well then Wally you can call me Barry." Eyeing the boy's bright red t-shirt he arched an eyebrow. "So you a uh…Flash fan?"
Wally's whole face lit up, "Are you kidding? He's the coolest!"
"What would you do if I told you I know him?" Barry's eyes sparkled knowingly as he stared at the boy.
"What? No way! You can't just know the Flash," disbelief filled his voice.
"Well I do," I mean being some boring police scientist does have its perks."
Wally's ears turned red as his hair, as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. Barry laughed and rustled his hair, "come on squirt I'll tell you about him."
The key to the lock turned slightly as Iris sighed, "Barry I—Why won't my feet come off your floor?!" She made eye contact with Wally whose eyes were wide in shock. "WALLACE RUDOLPH WEST!"
Barry leaned over to Wally who was still staring wide eyed at his red faced aunt. "Listen Kid," Barry muttered in a low tone. "I've seen her like this before you want to know the best thing to do?"
Wally nodded numbly.
Barry smirked, "Make like Flash and run."
And with that Wally was off whizzing past his aunt, carefully avoiding the glued tiles, and ran down the flight of stairs.
Barry smirked up at Iris who was still muttering threats, "hey beautiful what's the matter?"
Finally Iris made her way out of her shoes and walked up to him, "Barry I love you and I love my nephew. However you owe both me new shoes." And with that she walked out the door, Barry sighed smiling, one day he was going to marry that woman. One day.
BONUS
Nobody knew why Wally loved pranking Artemis so much and when you asked somebody you always got a different answer.
If you asked Conner it was because he wanted revenge for some insult.
M'gann would tell you it was his way of having fun and that he meant no harm.
Robin would say he was flirting with his girlfriend to be, while Kaldur would simply sigh and reply that his red headed teammate just had too much time on his hands.
However if you asked Wally he would tell you she was the logical answer.
He could never prank the Boy Wonder without getting pranked back or missing all together, or a combination of the two. The young 13 year old was too paranoid and too Batman like to walk into a room unprepared.
Kaldur was no fun, seeing as the leader simply sighed and asked Wally to kindly not fill his bed with fish again, before walking out and that was that. There was no complaining, no screaming, no trying to kill Wally, no running away from the victim, Kaldur was just too polite.
He couldn't prank M'gann seeing as she was the hottest girl on the Team and Superboy….well he'd pranked Superboy once, he'd spent the next three days in hiding, and even now the older boy wouldn't let him anywhere near the showers.
So Artemis became his victim, she couldn't seriously hurt him, she wasn't hot enough not to prank, she reacted right and couldn't dodge them, she was perfect.
So when he dyed her hair purple and she reacted just right she became his favorite target, his only target.
Now if only she would stop chasing him around with a blow torch, then life would be perfect….
YOUNG JUSTICE IS BACK! YAYZ!
