Welcome back to chapter 2! Or is it 1? Hm…We'll go with chapter two, I guess. All I really want to say is thanks for reading…it means a lot that you're even here :3
6 months later
Wally West was sat behind his school desk, tapping his foot impatiently and chewing his pencil. The school bell was about to ring any minute now.
"To solve a quadratic equation, you have to-" The teacher's droning was interrupted by the bell. Thank god it was the weekend, and he could go crime fighting with his team all weekend. He eagerly got to his feet shoving his chair under the desk and slinging his bag over his shoulder as the rest of the class filed out, gossiping to each other about the latest drama. Nobody really gave Wally a second glance, which was good for him, as any unwanted attention could endanger his secret identity as Kid Flash. He stayed to the inside of the corridor, saying goodbye to all the people he knew, being the egotistic extrovert that he was. He eventually got out of the hellhole people called school, strolling into an alley casually with his hands in his pockets. Looking behind him to check nobody was watching, Wally then braced himself, before zooming off at super speed away from his school and to his uncle Barry's home.
"I'm home!" Wally called, taking his shoes off in the doorway and walking in.
"Heya Wally!" His aunt Iris said from the kitchen, where she was cooking dinner, Wally receiving a smile from his uncle Barry, who was better known as the flash. Barry was like a father to Wally, since he had been abused verbally and physically by his biological father. Since then he had come to live with his uncle Barry Allen and his aunt Iris West, and he was a lot happier here.
"Batman wants you at the headquarters right away," Barry said to Wally, who was in the process of stuffing his face full of cake. Aunt Iris always made sure that the fridge was always full, since speedsters had high metabolisms and needed losts of food to keep them going.
"Mmm?" Wally said, his mouth full.
"Manners, Wally!" Iris scolded. Wally swallowed his food in one.
"Sorry!" The red-headed boy grinned, Iris shaking her head. Looking back at his uncle he repeated himself.
"Why?"
"I don't know too much about it, I just know that he wants you and Robin,"
"Is there anything else I should know? You have a habit of leaving out important information until it's too late,"
"Not that I'm aware of, so get changed into your costume before you leave and get over there. You don't want to make Batman wait, believe me," Barry smirked, patting his red-headed nephew on the head.
"Alright, I'll see you later, Uncle Barry!" Wally grinned cheerily, before rushing off upstairs to change into his costume.
A few minutes later Kid Flash came downstairs in his vibrant yellow costume with bits of red, which matched his red hair protruding over his mask.
"Bye Uncle Barry and Aunt Iris!" Wally said, before flashing off out the door. He ran across Central City, leaving and running towards Gotham and the location of the headquarters of Young Justice, the division of the Justice League dedicated to the younger members, mainly sidekicks. He ran into the room, noticing that nobody else from the team was there; just Robin.
"I'm here!" Wally exclaimed, Batman and Robin turned their heads to him, pausing their conversation.
"Late as usual…" Robin grumbled under his breath.
"Actually, he's just in time," Batman said, looking at the two teenagers.
"What's the mission?" Robin asked. He was wearing casual clothes, his dark hair falling onto his forehead, the dark sunglasses covering his eyes prevented his secret identity from being revealed.
"It's an infiltration mission," Batman began, the two boys looking at each other in excitement.
"You will be going undercover at St Harley's Academy For Gifted Children," Batman said.
"Isn't that a very prestigious boarding school for geniuses?" Wally asked the masked hero.
"Well, we won't have any problem then," Dick joked, chuckling.
"You two are the only ones smart enough and young enough to get in…do you accept the mission?"
"Yes," The two boys said simultaneously.
"Good. Make sure you're here bright and early tomorrow, your mission begins then," Batman said, dismissing them. Dick and Wally then turned and left.
"Wow, so, a boarding school…never thought I would see the day…" Wally joked.
"I wonder why we have to infiltrate?" Dick thought aloud.
"Hm, I'm not sure…" Wally said as they reached the exit.
"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then," The red-haired boy said. Dick nodded his head in acknowledgement, waving as the two boys split ways. Wally ran home at super speed, coming home and pulling back his cowl, strolling in.
"I'm back!" The young hero called, Barry waiting expectantly and looking up from his newspaper.
"How did it go?" Barry asked.
"Great. Me and Robin have a joint mission,"
"Do share the details," His uncle said eagerly, folding up his paper and putting it to the side.
"We're going to be infiltrating a boarding school,"
"What school?"
"St Harley's Academy for gifted children,"
"That school? Huh…" Barry muttered, his facial expression changing as he went deep into thought.
"Yes, is there a problem with that?" Wally asked, noticing his Uncle's change in posture.
"No, no, just be careful…"
"Why? Uncle Barry, what are you not telling me?" Wally said, with a look of concern on his face.
"Alright…it's because children have been disappearing…" Barry said, stroking his chin in worry.
"Disappearing? Where to?"
"That's the thing…We don't know. But we suspect the Joker is behind it…"
"T-The Joker?" Wally spluttered, his emerald eyes widening as just a mental image of the green-haired psycho sent a chill down his spine.
"Yes, and potentially accomplices…I don't agree with sending you two in, but you're the only two for the job…we've been waiting ages for you to have enough training…I guess the big guy decided now was the right time…"
"Oh…" Was the only word Wally could bring himself to say. What else could he say? This mission was extremely important, and if they messed up…Well, Wally didn't want to know what would happen, but he would like to say it wouldn't be good.
"I…I should be getting to bed…" Wally murmured, traipsing off upstairs. He was a little shocked. All he could do was get a good night's sleep and hope for the best.
Well that was a long chapter…heh. It was fun to write though, and hopefully they'll keep getting longer ^3^ Thanks for reading!
