Chapter 3

Wally was awoken the next morning at 5am by a loud noise. What was that? A whirring? An…engine? He got out of his bed and pushed back the curtain, squinting in the early light.

"A…a limo?" He muttered to himself. He quickly went in and dressed as fast as he could into jeans and a shirt, which just happened to have the flash logo on (definitely not a coincidence), stuffing a cereal bar into his mouth whilst simultaneously scribbling a note for Barry and Iris. He was assuming that this was his 'wake up call'. His suitcase was at the door, since he knew when Batman said 'bright and early', he meant it. Grabbing his case, he left the house, walking towards the limo. An old man in a suit was stood beside the door.

"Greeting, Wally West, I'm Mr Wayne's butler, but you can just call me Alfred," The man called Alfred said with a slight bow. Wally wasn't quite sure how to respond to this.

"Uh…You can call me…The Wall-Man…"

"Okay, Wall-Man…" Alfred said, trying his hardest not to chuckle. He then opened the door, Wally getting inside.

"Heya," Said a boy with dark hair and deep blue eyes.

"Um…do I know you?" The red-haired boy asked, raising a brow.

"The name's Dick Grayson, better known to you as Robin,"

"Rob?! You don't look like I expected you to…" Wally said, Dick smirking in amusement.

"Sit down boys…" Said a man, causing Wally to jump. Where had he come from?!

"Batman…better known as Bruce Wayne…millionaire genius…"

"M-Millionaire?" Wally hissed, sitting down beside his friend.

"Yup…" Dick smirked, enjoying Wally's shock. Wally looked at Bruce, examining his facial features. He had a very strong jawbone, and blue eyes similar to Dick's, except they were a shade darker.

"Alfred, are we setting off,"

"Yes, Master Bruce,"

"Good…" Bruce said, stroking his chin.

"I assume your uncle has told you all about the mission?" Bruce said, looking into Wally's eyes with that classic focused gaze. Wally shuffled, feeling slightly uncomfortable with the eye contact. He bit his lip.

"Uh…yes, he told me about the disappearances and about the Joker,"

"Yes, but did he tell you about the possible accomplices…"

"He mentioned something along those lines, but who?"

"We don't know, but we know for sure that Harley Quinn is involved,"

"We believe she is posing as the headmistress of the academy," Dick pitched in.

"Really?"

"And she is going to be your target for investigation…find out what you can…"

"Yes, sir!" Wally said, whilst Dick chuckled at Wally's formality. The rest of the car journey was in awkward silence, Wally not daring to make a sound.

"Alright, this is your stop, stay safe," Bruce said, making eye contact with Dick. A few unspoken words went between the two, and Dick nodded at his adoptive father, as if to say 'I won't let you down', but of course Wally didn't notice this. He may be a science nerd, but when it came to people, a brick was smarter than he was. Wally and Dick were escorted inside by Alfred to the reception. There was sat a young woman in her early twenties. Her brunette hair was neatly styled into a sleek bob, which went well with her dark glasses. The glasses made her hazel eyes seem twice as big as they really were, and this looked odd alongside the large hoop earrings on her ears. The woman looked up from her monitor.

"Yes?" She asked, raising a finely plucked eyebrow.

"I would like to sign in Wally and Dick Wayne, the sons of Bruce Wayne,"

"I see, let me check…" The woman said, looking down at her monitor and typing something in. After a moment of reading down what appeared to be a list of names, she looked back up at the three.

"Ah, yes, there you are, just in time, please go ahead into the waiting room, it's just on the left," The woman smiled, a little creepily if Wally was to be honest, pointing out the way they had to go. The two boys said goodbye to Alfred and parted ways. Dick and Wally walked into the waiting room, looking around. It was filled with children their age, almost all the seats occupied. Less than a minute after they sat down, a speaker in the corner spoke.

"Attention all examinees, please enter the examination room when your name is called and sit in your assigned seat," Wally watched as boys got up when their names were called.

"Edward Green, seat one,"The speaker announced, and a boy with a Ginger man bun, blue eyes and freckles got up. The duo watched as the boy walked into the room.

"Charles Nightingale, seat two,"The speaker continued after the first boy had left. After 20 boys had gone in, one after the other, it finally happened.

"Richard Wayne, seat twenty-three," Was announced by the speaker, Dick getting to his feet and walking through the door, shooting a glance back at Wally. They had to nail this. There was no room for failure. That was the silent message that Wally received, and he understood. If he failed, the mission was bust.

"Wally Wayne, seat twenty five," The speaker announced after a few more boys were called in. He got to his feet, and walked into the room, biting his lip nervously. The room was a large hall with about a hundred desks all labelled with a number from one to one hundred. Wally took his seat, sneaking a glance at Dick a few desks along. He took a deep breath, looking down at the test paper in front of him. He was fairly confident in his own abilities, partly due to his inflated ego, and partly because he had spent the previous night cramming everything he figured he would need to know and more. Once all the seats were filled, the speaker in the corner piped up.

"You will have exactly one hour to complete the exam. Anyone caught cheating will be disqualified and expelled from the academy immediately. You must get at least 70% to be accepted as a student. You may begin in 3, 2, 1, your time starts now," Hearing this, all the boys opened their test papers and began to write. Wally took a deep breath, picking up his pen.

The time flew for Wally, and he finished 5 minutes early, double-checking over his answers before shutting his booklet and putting down his pen. The next 5 minutes dragged on as the other boys began to finish.

"Your time is up, please close your paper now if you haven't done so already, and exit the examination hall. Your results will be listed tomorrow," The speaker stated, and with that, all the boys got to their feet and filed out. The boys lined up at reception for their temporary dorm placements. Wally and Dick were placed in the same dorm thankfully, since they were posing as siblings, although they looked nothing alike.

"Room 201…" Wally murmured as they wandered down the dorm building.

"Where could that be?" He wondered out loud, looking at Dick and furrowing his brow. Dick shrugged.

"Well, there's room 178, and 177 goes that way, so it must be in that direction," Dick concluded, before taking a left turn, Wally hurriedly following after him. After about 10 minutes they found their room on the second floor. They unlocked it with the set of keys they had been given, and walked inside. The room was nicely decorated, with 4 beds, two in front of the large window, and then two on either side. The beds were good quality, and appeared to be made of wood. The floor was a gorgeous dark shade of mahogany, and the walls were painted a nice light shade of beige. Wally immediately dived on a bed in front of the window.

"Shotgun!" He called, sprawling out. He looked around, noticing other minor details. There were 4 desks in the room, and 4 chests of drawers. There were also 4 wardrobes, Each boy that inhabited the room having his own space. Wally dragged his suitcase over, which had already been delivered to his room, and dumped it on his bed. He wasn't going to unpack just in case he didn't make it in. Nothing could be guaranteed, though Wally was one of the smartest people in his old school, so he had high hopes. Dick, meanwhile, had gotten out his laptop and was already typing on it. Wally walked over to see what he was typing, and saw it was an e-mail to Bruce. It was all encoded, which was smart of Robin to do, since Wally had also figured out that all the rooms would be bugged and cameras would be everywhere, and all the phone lines would be tapped to. Their every move would be watched, which made sense, since the Joker wouldn't make infiltration be easy. Wally decided to explore a little more, as there was a private bathroom connected to their room. Wally looked inside in curiosity, and liked what he saw. There were two con joined sinks with a large mirror and an assortment of face washes, shampoos, etc. There was a large walk-in shower, and a toilet. These prestigious schools weren't shy with their funding, which confirmed one more thing. There were accomplices. The Joker wouldn't have the funding to perform a feat like this alone…No, this was something much bigger going on here, and Wally would stop at nothing to uncover the mysteries of this academy.

That's the end! I'll keep trying to make the chapters longer! Please follow and favourite, since it means a lot ^^ Seeya!
