Disclaimer: Nope, still don't own Young Justice, how'd ya guess?
^o^
Mist: Ok, and we're back!
Whistle: We've decided to leave the last chapter unchanged, because we really needed to get back to typing, and fixing it would take an hour
Mist: Sorry Vamp, but it was Whistle's idea to move on.
Whistle: In any case, this is going to be another mission chapter, and we have yet another new cop. Meet, Officer Dex.
Mist: Oh, and Vamp? You know how you mentioned that you wanted to go back to base and rant, I'm not sure how to write it, but I give you permission to write it as your own one-shot if you want. Or if you want I make it the 'Special 2'
Whistle: Mist is still having trouble with characterization.
Mist: Now, I won't delay any longer, back to the show!

Chapter thirteen: Mayhem in town.
^o^
Yesterday sure was awesome. It was sooooo cool that I got to go on a mission with Captain Cold, and the way he froze that cops legs was just the funniest thing I had ever seen! When we got back home we told everyone what had happened, and I got to show everyone the gun I stole from the cop. Hartley gave me a dark look when I announced that I wanted to set up a souvenir self (most likely because I mentioned the one I had with my old team) but agreed to help me set one up when I did the best puppy dog eyes I could.
Turns out, he's a sucker for the puppy dog eyes.
Anyways. I think that I've finally gotten over everything. I think that I just might be fully cured of my past problem; that I can finally move on with my life.
A knock on my door interrupted my thoughts.
"Can I come in?" James asked me from the other side of the door.
"Ok," I answered him, "It's unlocked."
James came bouncing in, dressed in his Trickster costume.
"You going somewhere?" I asked him curiously.
James nodded excitedly. "Yep!" He told me. "I'm going into town to cause some mayhem. Do you want to come with me?"
"Ok," I told him, grinning at the thought of getting back into town to cause some trouble. "Wait for me in the living room, I'll be right down."
"Yay!" Trickster squeaked in excitement before racing out of my room.
I laughed for a second at his strange behavior before quickly getting changed into my Blitz costume.
I was just about to head downstairs to meet up with Trickster when I noticed a bit of yellow under my bed. Curious, I bent down and pulled it out, finding my old 'Kid Flash' costume.
"Well this sure brings back memories," I whispered to myself as I stared at my old costume.
It must have been under my bed the whole time; several pieces of dust clinging to it being proof enough, but it had the odd familiarity to it as it did before. I still remember when I started wearing it, when I became Kid Flash. I had been so happy…
'And so stupid,' I thought to myself in annoyance, throwing the costume back under my bed where it belonged.
Without another moment of hesitation I raced out of my room and headed for the living room to meet up with Trickster.
"What took you so long?" Trickster asked me when I entered the room, giggling slightly.
"Took a trip down memory lane," I told him with a shrug, "Then I threw it under my bed."
"I'm guessing you found your old costume," Trickster giggled at me. "Can I burn it?"
"Sure, knock yourself out," I chuckled at him, "Just take it outside when you do, I don't want my room burnt down."
Trickster laughed and skipped over to me. "Ok!" He promised me. "Now are you ready to go into town?"
"I was born ready," I joked at him. Then I noticed that no one else was in the room, so I asked, "Is no one else coming with us?"
Trickster shook his head. "It's just you and me," He told me chirpily, "I thought it would be fun. No pressure or plans. Just playing in the streets and causing a little pandemonium."
I laughed at the fact that that was his idea of fun, but then I realized something; that DID sound fun! "Then what are we waiting around here for then?" I asked him, "Let's go!"
Trickster grinned wickedly at me.
This was going to be a very fun day…
^o^
We arrived in town quickly enough and soon the two of us were causing as much trouble as we ever could. This is a lot, for the record, when you have one kid (trickster) who has a bag of exploding trinkets and toys, not to mention floating shoes, and another kid (me) who has super speed and a crazy personality.
I was almost surprised by how much fun I was having watching people run away from me. To have people afraid of me….
"Heads up Blitz!" Trickster called out to me.
I looked up just in time to catch a can of orange spray paint.
"You can write your name with it!" He told me, laughing, "Maybe get the people to notice you!"
I laughed back at him.
Random, I know, but has anyone else noticed that he always talks extra loud when he's using with floating shoes? Maybe he hasn't noticed, but he's not THAT high up.
Pushing the useless thought out I got to work on writing 'Blitz' on the side of a random building.
I was just finishing up the 'z' when someone shot the wall where my masterpiece was.
Whipping around a saw a female cop, a different one from last day, I could tell immediately as this one had brown hair and dark green eyes. But like the last one she didn't look very friendly. I also noticed that she had a rather pretty charm bracelet around her wrist.
"Well aren't you a little trigger happy," I joked at her, feeling surprisingly calm considering my situation.
"Well you ARE vandalizing the police building!" The woman snapped at me, pointing to a sign declaring this the police headquarters.
Maybe I should have checked where I was painting; Uncle Barry might be at work today. That means the Flash could be nearby.
"Hey," I told her, "It's all in good fun."
"Well you and your lunatic friends 'fun' is tearing apart a quarter of the city!" She pointed out, motioning to the mass damage Trickster and I had caused.
I looked around, surveying the damage. I had to admit, she had a point, we were causing a lot of damage. Funny to think that a month ago I would be trying to stop Trickster from doing this stuff, and now I'm helping him.
Oh well, things change.
"Do you seriously feel no regret for what you're doing?" She questioned me.
I shook my head. "Not in the slightest!" I laughed.
"Guess Vamp wasn't kidding around when she told everyone that Kid Flash had been brainwashed by the Rogues," She sighed, a disappointed edge to her tone.
"I'm not brainwashed!" I objected quickly.
Maybe a little too quickly…
"That makes you sound incredibly brainwashed," She pointed out.
"Oh shut up!" I snapped at her, "What do you know?"
"I'm the awesome Officer Dex!" She declared, shooting into the sky, "I know all!"
"Have you forgotten to take any medication today?" I asked her carefully; hoping that Trickster would notice what was going on and come back me up. I really hated being told I was brainwashed…
"No!" She told me, once again pointing the gun at me. "And you're under arrest."
I laughed at her. "You'll have to catch me first," I reminded her, quite happy that she had changed the subject.
"Need any help Blitz?" Trickster's voice asked from above me.
I looked up and saw him standing just over my head. "How long have you been standing there?" I asked him, surprised that he had snuck up on me.
"Him? He's been there since before I got here," Officer Dex told me.
"Why didn't you say anything?" I asked my teammate.
Trickster giggled at me. "You were handling it," He said, "Besides, it's fun watching you argue with cops."
I shook my head at him; Trickster may be one of my best friends, but he was also the weirdest boy I knew. "Well if I'm handling the situation," I told him, "Then I think it would be best if we head back home now before more officers, or the Flash, try to stop us."
Trickster grinned at me and pulled out a marble-looking object from his pocket that I recognized to be an exploding smoke bomb. "Then I say we go out in a bang!" He giggled.
I grinned back up at him before leveling my gave to the officer again. "Sounds fun to me," I told him. "But first…" I zoomed over to the officer, grabbing her wrist, "…A souvenir."
I pulled off her bracelet before zooming back over to my friend.
"Hey! You jerk!" Officer Dex snapped at me. "You give me back my bracelet right this instant!"
"Explosion time!" Trickster laughed, flinging the marble down.
The marble landed a few feet in front of officer Dex, surrounding her instantly in a cloud of smoke.
"Let's get out of here," I told Trickster.
^o^
When we arrived back home we found that most of the Rogues had taken their quiet time away from us to their full advantage. Meaning they were playing poker when we got back.
"We're home!" The two of us declared at the same time.
Hartley grinned at us. "Did you both have a good time in town?" He asked us.
We nodded at him, similar grins on our faces.
"Did you get yourself another souvenir for your collection?" Captain Cold asked me.
I nodded and held up the bracelet. "Yep!" I answered chirpily.
Captain Cold grinned at me before returning his gaze to his cards. "You two go have lunch," He told us, "And try to keep the noise to a minimum."
Trickster and I grinned at each other. "We will," We lied.
It's amazing how alike Trickster and I are.
^o^
Mist: Dun dun dun dun…
Whistle: I believe that is being directed to the ending.
Mist: Yep. Also, I got a chapter done yay!
Whistle: This may not be up to Mist's usual standard of attempting to make sense, as some of you are aware she has the flu right now.
Mist: So this took longer to write than it should have, Sorry.
Both: Please review!
