~Thank you PhoenixFlair13 for the story idea~
M'gann and Connor sat back down; M'gann laying in the crook of his arm. She smiled her conscience clear of guilt, she gave a relieved sigh "So who's going to go next?"
"Well, you can ask someone if you'd like." Kaldur said
"Uhmmm," she looked around the room thinking. "Wally? What is Epilepsy?" she frowned, "I know you don't want to talk about it, but please we're your friends… your family." Her eyes pleaded with him and he stared at the floor.
"Wally?" M'gann asked,'' wondering if she had crossed a line.
"Ok." He said it so quietly his voice barely audible.
Robin gave him a tight smile and Wally returned it though it was sadder than Robin's had been. Everyone looked on waiting for him to continue.
"It happened about a week after I got my powers. I had just been sitting in math when I fell out of my seat and started to seize," He took a breath, "when I woke up I was in one of the League's hospitals, where the doctors knew the Flash's identity and how to deal with our metabolism and healing, they said that the chemicals I had used in the experiment had either activated a recessive gene or the chemicals created some neurological phenomenon that caused me to have symptoms nearly identical to Epilepsy. I'm on medication for the seizures and it works pretty good now I only really get them when I push my self too far or don't eat for a while, which is what happened tonight." Wally finished and signed as he finished
"So..uhm..why haven't we seen one before, what I..uhh..mean is you've pushed yourself pretty hard before?" Artemis reluctantly asked.
"They usually don't happen till a few hours after, I don't really know, there's probably some science medical answer somewhere though." Artemis nodded her head
"Why did you not tell me at least, as team leader I believe I should have known?" Kaldur's eyes narrowed just a bit revealing just how hurt he was, by how Wally didn't trust him enough.
Wally stared at the ground, "You guys wouldn't have understood and why are you so mad about this?" Wally was a little exasperated, what right did Kaldur have to judge him.
"I am not mad." Kaldur said it so passive aggressively even Connor knew he was peeved.
"Nuh uh you do not get to just play it off and say you're not mad; I asked a question you have to answer. That's how the Circle works, right?" Wally gave the tiniest smile at the end of the sentence.
"Fine." Everyone patiently waited for him to continue, "I know I am just a placeholder for Robin; till he is ready, but I am so tired of being compared to him and having him put before me."
Wally just looked at him, "Kal, it was one time.." He was going to continue, but he was cut off.
"But it's not just this one time, it's everyone. The media, you guys, even my own king!" He paused taking a breath, "Ever since I started it was always look, Robin saved the hostages, Robin's younger than you and he can defuse a bomb; isn't that amazing.I could go on and on. It's even worse in the media, am I the only one who looks at our approval ratings, somehow I'm the fifth most popular sidekick, even Artemis and Roy are higher than me and she's been a hero for what like three months and he's technically not even a sidekick anymore. Like really I am way better than her, no offense but seriously I can control water and make cool weapons I can even talk to fish, why does no one care!?" By the end of his rant Kaldur was so worked up he was pacing.
"Dude..?" Robin just said blank-faced, a bit flabbergasted at how outraged Kaldur was.
"Forgive me, my friends, I seemed to have lost control, so to speak." Kal said regaining his calm composer.
"Nope. It's fine we did want the truth after all." Wally said also a bit startled by his friends' reaction. Everyone else just stared at the three friends who started it all.
"So who would like to go next?" Kaldur asked his expression calm again. The others exchanged looks all deciding they would just follow Kal's lead and ignore his rant about feelings.
"Me! Me! Just give me a second, I've been waiting months for a chance like this." Artemis got up and ran to her room returning with a board and a Gotham Academy yearbook.
"You want us to sign your yearbook?" Connor raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"No." She said with a smirk, "We are going to find out the Boy wonders identity once and for all!"
Everyone turned to look at Robin, who sat red-faced in the corner. "Uhmm."
Sorry that Kaldur was a little OOC in this one. So yeah another cliffy! I really hope everyone like it, if you didn't then deal with it. Again any suggestions you have for the other characters would be great, and if you have a story you want to be written tell me and I will do my best to write it. Have a good day!

P.S: I'm not really sure if I want to readdress Kaldurs jealousy of Robin, at this point I don't think I will but if you want me to I will try.
