Mist: Ok, I'm back again and with a new chapter
Whistle: Not that there's really another reason to be updating
Mist: Well, there's author notes, but this isn't one.
Whistle: Just get on with it
Mist: Well someone sure is grumpy. ;) Oh well. Ok, everyone these next few chapters will mostly revolve around Wally going on missions with different Rogues, so once again, tell us if you have something you want him to do, and with which Rogue.
Whistle: For now, we'd like to congratulate our first ever guest star, TheVampire'sGirl, who declared that she wanted to knock some sense into Wally.
Mist: So we asked her permission to make her a cop! (Also, Vamp, I styled your character in the way I think you would look in this show, so tell me right away if you want me to change anything, ok?)
Whistle: But we need more cops still, so if anyone else wants a gun and badge, let us know.

Chapter 12: Grocery Run of doom
^o^
(Wally/Blitz's POV)
Yesterday sure did turn out to be quite the disaster. I can't believe I let those stupid thoughts about my old team affect me; I got everyone all worried about me for nothing. Well, at least I'm still allowed to go on the grocery run today.
We're leaving in a few minutes, so I should hurry up and get changed into my Blitz costume. I can't really go cause mayhem at the grocery store in my civvies.
I'm really looking forwards to this, especially since I'm going on the mission with Captain Cold. I sure hope I don't mess up in front of him…
With that in mind I quickly changed into my costume before racing down the stairs.
I went straight to the living room and found the other Rogues sitting around, adding stuff to a list that was on the coffee table. Well, all except for Trickster who appeared to be fast asleep next to Hartley.
Hartley was the first to notice me. "Hey Wally!" He greeted me with a wave. "I see you're ready to go on your mission."
I nodded at him. "You bet!" I told him excitedly.
Captain Cold turned to look at me and grinned. "Then you'll be happy to know that we'll be leaving a few minutes."
"Awesome!" This was going to be great.
"Just remember to stick close to Captain Cold at all times," Hartley lectured me, "We don't want you getting lost in there."
I laughed at him. "You worry to much," I told him, "I'll be fine! What's the worst that can happen?"
"Just promise me you won't do anything dangerous," He said.
I grinned up at him. "I promise."
"Good boy," He told me, ruffling my hair.
"Ready to go?" Captain Cold asked me.
"Yep!" I responded excitedly.
"Then let's go!"
^o^
We got into town rather quickly and were soon approaching the store. I was so excitedly that I kept on jumping up and down a bit as I walked beside Captain Cold. What could be cooler than going on a mission with the leader of the Rogues?
"Here we are," Captain Cold told me, stopping just by the stores entrance. "Follow my lead."
Captain Cold burst through the doors, cold gun at the ready.
I followed quickly after him, nearly slipping on a puddle of water. This place really needed a wet floor sign…
A few civilians screamed in terror at the sight of Captain Cold, a few even hid themselves from view. Strangely though, some of the workers merely sighed in annoyance or face-palmed. Guess this place must get robbed a lot…
In confident strides Captain Cold began to walk around the store, grabbing stuff on the list and shoving them in a stolen grocery cart.
Meanwhile I followed after him, not really sure if I was allowed to go off on my own yet or not.
I wish Hartley were here… He'd know what I should be doing.
But he wasn't here so I instead contented myself to follow Captain Cold around, ignoring the many strange looks I was getting and all the whispering.
"Isn't he Kid Flash?" I over heard someone whisper. "Why is his costume all weird?"
"Better question, why isn't he stopping Captain Cold?" Someone hissed at someone else.
I shifted uncomfortably as I continued to listen to them. Finding myself to wondering what I was doing here…
Do I really have what it takes to be a Rogue? I wasn't even able to figure out that my Uncle was a jerk without help. Maybe I wasn't worth their time. So why did they treat me like I was?
"Just ignore these people," Captain Cold advised me, seemingly sensing my discomfort, "They don't know that you're Blitz yet, but they'll learn soon enough."
"Ok," I answered him, pushing away my earlier doubts.
The Rogues have placed their trust in me, so I have to become good enough to be on their team.
"Freeze!" A voice snapped from behind us.
I whipped around and saw a female cop pointing a gun at us. I stared at her for a minute before recognizing her. Her names Officer Vamp, she's a rookie cop; Uncle Barry thinks she's a little too headstrong.
I looked over at Captain Cold and saw that he was laughing.
"First time someone's told me to do that," The leader of the Rogues laughed at the cop. "You might want to rephrase your sentence."
Officer Vamp wasn't intimidated, instead her coal grey eyes showed annoyance. "Oh shut up!" She snapped at him. "You're stupid stunt is cutting into my break time!"
Captain Cold and I exchanged confused looks. Apparently I wasn't the only one surprised by the officer's personality.
That's when I noticed that Officer Vamp was staring at me; she moved her long bangs out of her face as though making sure they weren't disrupting her vision. "Hey, aren't you Kid Flash?" She asked me, "What the hell are you doing hanging out with a villain?"
I frowned at her and crossed my arms. "My names Blitz now," I corrected her. "And I'm with Captain Cold 'cause I'm a Rogue now."
Officer vamp raised an eyebrow in confusion at me.
"What?" I snapped at her. "Is it really so hard to believe that a sidekick can become a villain? Sides, the Rogues are way nicer to me than the Flash ever was. Now I know that he didn't really care about me. So I joined the other team of my own free will."
She shook her head at me, looking dumbstruck. "Sure you did," She said, "You have any idea how brainwashed you sound right now?"
"I am not brainwashed!" I snapped at her.
Captain Cold sighed in annoyance. "We don't have time for this," He muttered. "Blitz, can you keep her out of the way while I pick up the rest of the groceries?"
"Ok!" I responded happily, it was about time I got to do some fighting on a mission.
Captain Cold grinned at me before walking away.
I looked back over at Officer Vamp and smirked. "If you're smart you'll leave," I told her, "I'd hate to hit a lady."
"No problem," She told me smugly, "I hate hitting ladies to."
I glared at her.
"Were you a part of the museum heist?" She questioned me.
I nodded proudly. "Yep!" I told her, "My first mission!"
"Why did you steal the security tape, though?" She asked me, "It isn't like you Rogues to destroy evidence, you jerks have to much fun annoying the police department to do that."
This confused me. "What are you talking about?" I asked her. "We didn't take the security tape."
Now it was Officer Vamp's turn to be confused. "Well if you didn't take it, then who the hell did?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "Maybe the Flash took it," I suggested, "He, like you, seems to stupidly believe that I'm being brainwashed."
"Who are you calling stupid?" She growled at me.
"A popsicle," I answered her.
"What?" She asked me confused.
I grinned.
A split second passed and my grin turned into a smirk as I saw Officer Vamp's legs get frozen in place.
"The hell!" She snapped.
"Time to go Blitz," Captain Cold told me as he walked by, blowing some icy mist off of one of his cold guns.
"Be right there!" I told him happily before sprinting forwards, stopping in front of Officer Vamp.
"You're making a huge mistake," She told me warningly.
I smirked at her and pulled her gun out of her hands, emptying it. "Souvenir," I declared, pocketing the gun. "Later Officer!"
I raced off, listening to her snapping at me to get back there and unfreeze her.
"I think that your first grocery run went by quite smoothly," Captain Cold told me.
"Yep!" I agreed, "And now that I've messed with one of the cops, the police should know about me. I bet the name 'Blitz' will be listed with the rest of the Rogues on their files."
"Wouldn't doubt it," He laughed at me. "So what do you plan on doing with that gun you stole?"
"I think I'll start a souvenir shelf," I told him, grinning wildly. "I could collect one thing from every mission I go on! It'll be awesome!"
Just like back at the cave… with my old team
For some reason, I was ok with that.
I guess that i must be getting better or something.
^o^
Mist: Sorry about Cold freezing you Vamp.
Whistle: You know how he is.
Mist: But you should feel honoured that your gun is the first piece of Wally's new collection. That's got to account for something :)
Whistle: For now, we're ending this chapter, but we'll have one up soon. So for now…
Both: Please review!
