A/N: Another combination of request chapter! So it was requested that Dick gets insanely jealous by Sapphire Jade Eyes. It was also requested that Dick and Wally talk about Verena by robinthegirlwonder97, and thus, this was born!

WALLY WEST

"Dude, the salad didn't do anything to you," I spoke up, seeing my best friend practically stab the poor little green leaves of goodness.

Dick tossed me a glare before stabbing the leaves roughly and throwing them in his mouth. He chewed with such vigor that I was glad it was just the salad.

Dick might've been the coolest guy I've ever met, but he had one hell of a temper, from the looks of it. I've never personally seen it, but I have seen him lose his cool for a bit once. Ren told me it wasn't his full temper, and I did not want to find out his full temper.

"Dude, you're scaring me," I said after swallowing my bite of my burger. Dick sent his narrow eyes towards me and I felt shivers run down my spine. It was a good glare for a Batglare-in-training. "So… what's up? Where's Ren?"

Please let her cool down Dick. He's scaring me.

"Where's V?" he repeated sarcastically. "I've no idea! Why don't you ask Roy? That's who she was with at until four last night."

Ren? With Roy? Until four?

That usually wasn't a big deal…

Unless…

My face let up in amusement and Dick seemed to notice my change in emotions, because he frowned. "What?"

"You jealous that Ren was out with Roy until four?" I grinned. "Dude, she's been out with others until morning before. What's the big deal?"

"There's no big deal," Dick scoffed.

I sensed there was.

Then I remembered.

Zatanna had shown up yesterday. I wonder if she had something to do with it. Ren had been moody during the entire mission.

"Did you guys get into a… fight?" I asked incredulously. It would explain why Dick was being such a dick and why Ren wasn't here calming him. Usually, if Dick was troubled, he'd call her.

"So what if we did?" Dick retorted.

Whoa. They never got into fights.

Well… Real fights. Someone call a historian, this is huge. Dick Grayson and Verena Blake fought!

They'll make up by tomorrow.

"Just say sorry?" I suggested.

Dick gave me a look that I could read even without a special connection with him… or a psychic link. It read, "Does it look like I'm stupid?"

"She left early this morning," Dick told me. "If she wants to play like that, fine. Two can play that game. She apologizes to Zatanna for being nonchalant with her and I apologize for calling her a bitch."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," I backpedaled. "Wait. You called her a bitch?"

I didn't miss the hurt look that flashed over his eyes for a split second before they hardened. "Fuck off, Wally."

"Dude, you invited me," I persisted. "You're obliged to tell me what's up." Dick really was in a bad mood. God bless whoever he beats up later while he's on patrol.

Dick sighed heavily and retold everything.

By the time he was done, I was grinning madly.

"What?" the Boy Wonder seethed. I guess when he was in a bad mood, he hated seeing people happy.

"You two are so cute!" I exclaimed. I think I lost some masculinity points just now, but oh well. "See, Ren was being a well, your words, not mine, a bitch, to Zatanna because she was jealous of her. And then you called her that, so of course she gets hurt, so she goes off with Roy, which made you jealous. It's a jealous dance you guys are dancing~"

"Your theories are stupid," Dick deadpanned.

Theories?

No.

They're the truth.

Watch.

They'll get together someday.

"Whatever you say," I shrugged instead of telling him he was wrong. No need to make him more pissed off. I watched him stab his salad again, but not eat it. "Seriously, if you're just gonna stab the salad, can I have it? You should go fencing if you wanna stab something."

Dick glared at me and shoved a forkful of salad into his mouth.

Sigh.

Teenagers.
