1! 2! 3! 4! GO! READ THE STORY!
Kid Flash zoomed away from Titans Tower with a distracted mind.
After leaving the Titans' common room, he had tried talking to Speedy, but the eighteen-year old archer wasn't really in the mood for a conversation.
"Speedy, listen…Maybe we should go back and apologize to Rob…I mean, he didn't really do anything. We were just being jerks…Speedy…?"
Speedy had kept walking ahead of him without showing a hint of interest in the speedster's words.
"Speedy…Roy, come on!"
Now, at the sound of his actual name, Speedy turned around and gave Kid Flash a fairly unnerving look: half bored and half glaring.
Kid Flash sighed and started again. "Look, I know you're upset, but I feel terrible about treating Dick like that. And don't even try to say you don't feel terrible too! We're his big brothers-"
Speedy then interrupted by placing a hand on Kid Flash's shoulder and lightly, but purposefully, pushing him back into the wall. The archer leaned down slightly and whispered into the speedster's ear, "Kid, I know you have a tendency to space out when people are talking to you, but pay attention to what I'm about to say. He is not my brother…and neither are you."
With that Speedy let go of the younger boy and continued walking.
Kid Flash had stood there, feeling dejected, for about two seconds before running off.
The teen speedster gave a heavy sigh. So now, his big brother was ignoring him and his little brother thought he hated him…
It bites being the middle child.
Okay, he had to laugh at that bit. The three of them weren't even related. Why should he care?
Well, of course he cared. Roy and Dick had always been the brothers he'd never had. Roy had protected him from bullies and helped him talk to girls. Dick had looked up to him and laughed at his jokes, no matter how corny. They had both trained and fought alongside him. And neither pitied him when they found out about his past…
He tried to swallow past the lump in his throat.
What happened to us?
Realizing where he was, Kid Flash skidded to a halt. He had decided to just run ahead to the compound and wait for the others. Running always helped him to sort out his thoughts. Robin wouldn't be too ecstatic about him not sticking with the group, but really, it was hard to be intimidated by the kid who used to cry and run to him whenever he had a nightmare.
Kid Flash snickered. That might make good blackmail later. Then again, he would have to dodge a whole lot of batarangs. It wasn't nearly worth the trouble.
The speedster snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a soft whirring sound from above his head. He looked up to pinpoint its location, but before he could, an electric jolt surged through his body and he collapsed.
A normal human being wouldn't have processed much of the situation before blacking out, but Kid Flash's hyper-accelerated brain told him exactly what had happened.
That whirring…Whatever it was, it made noise on purpose so I'd look up and not see the electrical charges building below me. If I hadn't gotten distracted, I would have high-tailed already! Just my luck.
As he saw a dark figure, distorted by his fading vision, emerge from the brush, Kid Flash's last conscious thought was, I hope Mas y Menos can think a little further ahead than I did.
I'm sorry it's short, okay? I'm working on that. At least I got the chapter out before the end of the month. :)
