Superman and Super Boy stepped from the zeta beam tubes and were welcomed by Miss Martian, Aqua-Lad, Artemis, Zatana, and Kid Flash. Black Canary and Red Tornado entered shortly after, both in a quite conversation. Super Boy left his mentor's side and went to his team looking rather pleased with him self.

"Are they coming?", Black Canary came to Superman and he nodded.

"They are on their way now", as the words left his mouth the computer announced both Batman and Robin. Kid Flash kept his eyes elsewhere as the dark knight came forward his protégé standing tall at his side.

"Training commences within the hour, Superman, Canary, Red Tornado a moment", Batman left Robin's side and the team came forward.

"Robin it is good to see you returning", Aqua-Lad smiled as he stopped beside the younger member.

"Thanks, just couldn't wait to get back on my feet again", he turned his attention to Kid Flash briefly before he looked to Zatana.

"Hello Megan, Robin didn't hear the news! Zatana has joined the team!", he tilted his head as Zatana smiled and nodded.

"Only for certain missions but it's a start", Connor turned his attention back from the mentors and looked to Kaldur who nodded before Artemis shook her head. Robin tightened his fists as he watched Wally smack his forehead, even Zatana had turned to the others.

"Now I know how the adults feel, talk about outside looking in", he folded his arms over his chest and M'gann blushed.

"Robin I am so sorry I forgot our link has not been reconnected", her eyes flashed and Robin shook his head as the others voices filled his mind.

'Can you hear me now?', he rolled his eyes at Artemis before noticing that Batman and the others were approaching them.

"Today we train, tomorrow you have a mission", some of the team members shared looks before focusing back on Batman. "The mission is recon, there has been activity at the Injustice League's old hide out we need to know what is going on over there.", the team nodded and Black Canary stepped forward.

"Alright sparring partners…..Kaldur you will fight Rob-".

"If you don't mind I'd like to fight Kid Flash", she looked to Robin and then to the young speedster as he lifted his head.

"Alright, Kaldur and Connor, and ladies lets remember we are sparring not watching the boys, Zatana-", Artemis shrugged as M'gann blushed.

"Observing got it", she smiled and went to the side.

…...

Wally dropped into position and waited for Robin to advance, it happened in an instant. They traded kicks and punches, blocking with ease, their forms identical and well practiced.

'Stop holding back', Robin's voice drifted through Wally's head and he glared at the boy.

'I wont fight you like that, we are sparring', as he went to block a knee from his side he was unprepared for the fist that collided with his jaw. Falling back he wiped his lip, unhappy to see blood on his uniform sleeve.

"Fight me!", the others all paused, after the mission talk Batman and Superman had left leaving Red tornado and Black Canary to over see training.

"Fine!', he was off the floor and throwing attacks within the beat of the heart. Robin blocked him for a short while throwing his own barrage of attacks when he could. The struggle between the two of them turned violent, and Black Canary could not allow it.

"Super Boy, Kid Flash! Aqua-Lad, Robin!", the two teens moved in unison and restrained the two. Both seemed to fizzle out and calm quickly before Black canary stepped between them. "Someone please explain to me what the hell is going on here?", she looked at them both as they lowered their eyes.

"Perhaps the team is not ready for a mission?", Red Tornado added in.

"No, we are ready. Robin and Kid Flash are just restless. The team will be fine", Kaldur released Robin, the younger teen touching his nose to make sure it wasn't broken. Wally broke from Super Boy and snapped his arm to the side, the joint of his elbow releasing a nasty snap as he winced.

"Im hittin the showers", he growled and walked away from the others. Artemis watched him leave but she remained grounded, as much as she worried for the light hearted speedster, she knew he needed time. Zatana came to her side and looked at her, and Artemis felt like she was looking in a mirror, but her image was Wally while Zatana's was Robin.

…...

Wally stepped out of his bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist as he dried his hair with another. His chest had begun to bruise slightly but his lip had thankfully stopped bleeding. Dropping the towel he used for his hair he looked up and nearly jumped out of his skin.

"Flash!", he took a step back at the sight of his mentor seated in his gaming chair.

"Hey kid what's shaken?", Wally rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Nothing Im fine", he went to his dresser and fished through it for some clothes. The sound of liquid shaking caught his attention and he turned around, in Flash's hand was the bottle of liquor he had brought home with him after his drunken escapade.

"Fine? So what this is for decoration?", Flash had never taken on a full parenting roll, he knew if he did it would shut down the teenager he had just become the only guardian to.

"I take it Bats called you about the fight?", he leaned back against his dresser watching as Flash lowered the bottle and nodded.

"Yeah, he did. I know you are stressed about Robin, but don't destroy what you have worked so hard for. This, will destroy your place with the team.", he emphasized the bottle as he spoke and Wally looked to the floor.

"He is my best friend man", he growled out but Flash shook his head.

"And you are my responsibility", the words hit the teenager hard as he looked up.

"Since when?", Flash reached up and pulled off his face mask so he could look at his protégé.

"Since I won custody of you", Wally's knees buckled slightly but he didn't let Barry see it.

"Custody?"

"Yes….I am now your soul guardian", he spoke calmly but Wally could hear the stutter of shock.

"So they finally made up their minds….", he could feel his eyes stinging so he turned away from Barry and started rifling through his draws again, busying his mind.

"Listen Wally, I know this is hard, but try to see the silver lining-".

"Silver lining? My friend is shut up so tight he makes Batman look like a cuddle bear! My parents just gave me up because they cant accept me! And Im going through the worst case of hormones over one of my teammates who just might stab me is she finds out!", he threw his hands up and walked away from the dresser. Barry looked like he was taking in everything as quickly as he could run, first he looked sad, then angry, and then shocked.

"Wait a minute…your hung up over one of your team mates?", Wally sighed in frustration.

"It figures that would be the only thing you heard", shaking is head he adjusted his towel and went to sit down on the couch.

"Well my boy is interested in a girl, that's big", Wally chuckled and ran a hand through his hair.

"Yeah, im interested, big time", he shrugged before hearing a knock on his door, before he could respond the door opened and Artemis stepped in pausing at the sight of Flash who had managed to cover his face with his mask.

"Am I interrupting?", Wally looked down and just threw his arms in the air.

"Nah your good", he chuckled despite the situation, Flash looking at him like he was crazy.

"I see, well kid ill see you at home. We can finish our talk then alright?", Wally nodded and watched as his mentor stood the liquor bottle still in her hand.

"That's mine!", Flash shook his head.

"Actually im sure Batman's collection is missing it", he winked and Wally shrugged with an innocent smirk.

"Whoopsie", his mentor waved over his shoulder and in a flash was gone.
