Young Justice doesn't belong to me, no profit made.
Thank you for all your feedback and followers :D
Finally got on top of course work to get this written :D
'Why on earth did you try to hide that from me!'
Jason refused to meet Wally's gaze and instead stared furiously at the floor.
'Did you think that was funny? Some kind of sick joke!'
'It's not like that.'
'Then tell me. Why?'
Jason looked up and Wally could see that his eyes were brimming. His voice sounded hoarse when he spoke.
'I didn't think it was right, not after how we ended things before.'
'Jason did you really think that matters now, it was three years ago.
Wally smiled reassuringly.
'Believe me we got over it. Everyone did. Even Dick.
Jason smirked at the name.
'My bad. I just...'
'Don't fret over it, it's done now. Okay?'
'Okay.'
Wally took the time to examine his former team mate. How could he not have recognized him from the start?
It was true that Jason had aged, he was taller, his hair was longer and unkempt. There was a cluster of stubble decorating his cheeks and an entrenched scar buried into his temple. Wally winced he knew where that had came from. It was the eyes however that demanded the most attention, they were still the piercing blue that had winded Wally when they first met. Although slightly sunken they still conveyed the same fierce demeanor that had once frightened his team mates.
Wally realized he had been noticed.
'Um.. You're taller. Than before I mean.'
Jason cocked an eyebrow in amusement.
'Yeah, one of the hang ups here I'm afraid. Time still flies. We get older.'
'Great.'
With nothing left to say, Wally was content to remain silent. He could still hear the mournful dirge of the radio and the scent of burnt toast still wafted in the air. Yet Wally couldn't feel any hunger or tiredness. He glanced over at the dog still snoozing in the corner and the thought that it would never wake no longer bugged him.
Great. you're getting used to the place Wally. Might as well, you're trapped in here until you're an old man.
And in all weirdness that no longer bugged him either. He was scared yes. But not anxious, a wave of dispassion had washed over him.
He thought of his future how he had planned it with Artemis, traveling together, Paris, Hanoi, Vienna. Gone, but he could not find the strength to mourn.
'How ... are the others? Hows...Batman?
Wally snapped from his thoughts.
'Batman's quieter now than before. He gave up leadership of the league, gave it to Captain Atom. I don't see him as much as before.'
'What about Nightwing?'
'Dick's a lot more secretive, he doesn't joke around much either. He keeps his thoughts to himself.
'Wally, is there a new Robin?'
Wally grimaced. But before he could begin to answer his words are cut across by an intruding voice.
'May I interrupt you boys?'
Both Wally and Jason jolted in surprise then turned to face their unexpected guest.
'You said there was no one else here Jason!'
'There wasn't!'
But stood in the corner of the room, was the unmistakable, gentlemanly dressed, Italian illusionist. Giovanni Zatara.
Casually he took of his top hat then bowed to the pair.
'But how di...'
'That is not important right now and I don't have much time to spare. But is urgent that I speak to you two.'
And the truth is then revealed. Kinda XD
Reviews and concrit are always appreciated :D
