A/N: This took way too long because I'm so lame. Anyway, requested by goddess of the nigth for Roy confiding with Wally. Hints of Artillery (Roy/Verena) and Roy/Jade (is there a ship name for these guys?).

ROY HARPER

"Shouldn't you be with the rest of the Team?" I inquired, sitting down on my bed, looking at Wally.

The speedster had arrived at my doorstep a couple minutes ago. He all but barged into my room and proceeded to make himself at home on the couch that was on the other side of my room, near the television.

"Bats came in half an hour ago and said there weren't any missions or training today," Wally shrugged, throwing his feet onto the coffee table. "Dick and Ren were MIA."

"Spending some time together, then," I concluded. The Batfamily always did things their own way. They showed up when they wanted to, they did things their way, but still managed to get the job done.

"Probably," Wally shrugged, throwing his arms behind his neck. "So I decided to drop by. Haven't seen you in a while."

"We saw each other two weeks ago," I deadpanned.

"Well, we didn't get to talk a lot," Wally replied easily. "I really wanted to ask you about your mission in Taipei. Saw the news."

I frowned. The treaty was successfully signed, but Sportsmaster and Cheshire got away. I also found out they were in league with Ra's al Ghul, but other than that, I didn't remember anything else after Sportsmaster knocked me out.

"That doesn't look like a nice face," Wally looked at me. "Wanna talk about it?"

"I can't remember anything after Sportsmaster knocked me out," I frowned. "Then there's Cheshire too… she's treating me like… like I'm a toy," I venomously sneered the last word out.

"Piss you off that much?" Wally arched a brow.

I gave him a look that read, 'What do you think?'

Wally shrugged. "Maybe she likes you?"

"What the hell are you getting at, West?" I narrowed my green eyes to look at his own.

"Not that I'm proud of it, but last time I ran into Cheshire, she didn't hesitate to beat me up," Wally told me. "And yet with you, she takes her sweet time. She flirts with you too, right?"

"How do you know that?" I arched a brow at him, crossing my arms.

"I might've watched the security tapes," Wally mumbled. I glowered at him, and he raised his arms in defense. "Dick and Ren were checking them out! I was curious!"

"Why was Ren checking the security tapes?" I questioned.

Wally furrowed his brows, thinking. "It was either curiosity or the Bat's orders. One of the, because they were rechecking Cheshire's every move."

"Did Ren notice?"

"I dunno," Wally shrugged. "They might've, but not have cared. They were talking to each other about the extent of Cheshire's flips and her movements." Wally then had a thoughtful look on his face, "Why are you only asking about Ren?"

I frowned. "Isn't it easy to ask just one name than both of them? Those two are attached to the hip anyway." Since when did Wally get so good at reading between the lines?

"Dude!" Wally jumped to his feet. "I know Ren's hot and all, but do you like her?"

"She's my friend, obviously," I snorted. Ridiculous.

"I'm not as dumb as most people think," Wally deadpanned. "Seriously. I'm in the top five percent of my class."

I let out a heavy sigh.

What seemed like seconds… minutes… hours passed by.

"I really shouldn't."

A hand came to my shoulder, patting me comfortingly. "It's okay, man."

Though many people saw Wally as a blabbermouth, I knew he was the best secret-keeper alive.

"Thanks."

"No problem, man."

A/N: Please take a look at the poll on my profile and also read my profile. :o It involves the sequel to Black Falcon, so I definitely need your guys' opinions!
