Rule #1: No telling M'gann she can't cook.
It had been a bad day for the speedster. He had gotten an F on his English project because his partner had failed to bring the needed tools, he was dumped in the trash can after lunch, which made him late to History, and Jason had failed to pick him up. Again. After this, Wally had found himself having to trudge thirty miles in the rain to get to the Zeta station. He was not happy, to put it nicely.
In the mountain, M'gann was clanking pots and pans together to try to make some kind of food, which most probably would end up being unedible. Wally sighed in exasperation, wanting to get something to eat, but not wanting M'gann to tell him he had to wait. Maybe if he sped in really fast...
He decided against it and flopped onto the couch, taking out his trusty Gamediamond and started playing his favorite game.
"So what do you think?" M'gann asked while standing over the dinner table where the team was sitting.
There was burnt fried chicken on a plate, with barely made mashed potatoes in a big bowl, with poorly cut lettuce, and some kind of pudding on a large platter. It was anything but appetizing.
Kaldur looked queasy along with Robin, Artemis was poking her mashed potatoes as if afraid it would suddenly gain the ability to breathe and move, and Conner struggled to keep a straight face, only because he didn't want to hurt M'gann's feelings. Wally sighed and said what everyone was thinking.
"M'gann, you're hot. But please, get it through your thick skull, you can't cook." He said plainly, ignoring how tired and old his voice sounded.
All was quiet as his words sunk in. M'gann's face slowly morphed from happiness to sadness, and before any of the teens knew it, she was gone with a trail of tears following her. Wally looked at her retreating form shocked, but was soon cut out of air supply by Conner's hands. Wally's eyes widened, and before he could stop it, he punched Conner in the face with a vibrating fist and ran to the other side of the room.
He stared on as the rest of the team tried to stop the pissed off clone, but was abruptly taken out of his reverie by Robin's yell. "Run, Wally! We can't hold him for long!"
So, Wally did the most sensible thing, and ran towards Antarctica.
Rule #2: No tampering with the archer's bows and arrows.
It was a dark and damp day, with Wally and Robin bored inside the mountain. Batman and Flash had grounded them because they had taken the Batmobile for yet another joy ride.
"Halo?" Robin asked, staring up at the ceiling.
"You cheat." Wally retorted while playing his game on his Gamediamond.
Robin frowned, and said, "And you don't? I know that muscle spasm wasn't involuntary."
Wally smirked, remembering the time the two had played with Roy and Kaldur. They were kicking Wally's and Robin's asses, until Wally suddenly smacked Roy in the face, letting Robin kill him. Wally's excuse? "I just got back from a fight with Trickster, what do you expect?"
They stayed quiet for a while, with Wally trying to beat the pond leader, Crikob.
"That's it!" Robin exclaimed, jumping from the couch. "We're going to get back at the League!" He said, making Wally look up from his game.
He sighed and rolled his eyes. "And how, exactly, are we going to get back at them?" He asked, deciding to humor his best friend.
Robin smirked evilly, making Wally raise an eyebrow and wonder if he should continue with whatever it was the bird had planned.
Roy was mad. Actually, he was pissed. Not two months since joining the League and he was already a victim to one of Flash's pranks. His bow was pink. Along with his arrows. With 'My Little Pony' stickers on it. Along with Bat, Lightning, Green Lantern, and 'S' stickers. Not only that set, but all of his bows and arrows.
...You know, right now, Roy was livid.
He stalked down the halls of the Watchtower, just about ready to place an arrow in between someone's eyes if they so much as looked at him in a way he didn't like. After a few steps, he ran into Green Arrow, who also seemed to be having equipment problems. His bow and arrow were also pink, but they had different ponies on them.
"Do you know who did it?" Ollie asked, eyes narrowed, most probably already thinking up of a plan to get revenge.
"I have a theory." Roy aswered, mouth tight.
Wally and Robin were laughing their asses off in Wally's house, watching the TV. Apparently, Count Vertigo, Merlin, and Killer Frost had joined forces in Star City and were giving the archers problems. But, the kids were more concentrated on the fact that the three heroes were fighting with their altered weapons.
"So worth it!" Wally yelled, grasping his stomach in pain.
He failed to notice the livid archers crouching in the tree next to his house.
Rule #3: No horror movies.
It was an uneventful day for the team. There weren't any missions, any kind of threat had already been neutralized, and none of them really wanted a fight to break out. Wally and Robin were on the couch, playing thumb wars, while M'gann cooked silently; still hurting from what Wally had said, but also wanting to prove him wrong; while Kaldur read a book on the couch, Artemis sat next to him reading her own book, and Conner watched M'gann cook. The silence surrounding them was a tad bit eerie until Kaldur broke it.
"I am sorry, but this is too calm, even for me." He told them, getting up. Artemis followed, and said, "No prob, leader man. My book was getting boring."
Robin jumped up from the couch to stand next to the older teen, smiling impishly up at him. "Want to watch a movie?" He asked.
Kaldur raised an eyebrow at him, but still nodded. Robin giggled with happiness, making Wally pale, then jumped towards the hall. He came back a few seconds later with a DVD in his hands, and quickly shoved it into the the Player. "Movie night!" He announced, "Everybody get your butts in here!"
Wally rolled his eyes and sat down on the edge of the couch, already knowing that whatever Robin had chosen would most probably scare them. Conner came in and sat down on the love seat, with M'gann following after she had put everything back in its place, and sat down on his lap. Kaldur sat next to Wally, and Robin sat next to him, leaving Artemis to sit on the other edge.
The movie started, but Wally told them to stop. He sped towards the kitchen and started making popcorn and grabbing as many sugary things as he could carry, then went back to the couch, passed the things around, and sat down in his seat.
"Her head's not supposed to be that way..." Robin whispered as the ending credits rolled up, his eyes wide with fear. "It's just not supposed to!" He yelled, then clung tightly to Kaldur, who was also feeling the effects of the movie.
"I-I-I-I" Wally stuttered, grasping Kaldur's other side. "I can never unsee that..." He whispered.
Conner and M'gann had moved to squish themselves in between their other teammates, both of them frightened by what they just saw.
"All in favor of not moving until there's light, say aye." Artemis announced, also staring at the television. Why did Robin choose that movie?
There was a chorus of aye's following her words, and no one moved. "It has been decided. Also, no more horror movies, right?" She asked.
Yet another chorus.
Rule #4: Don't hijack the Batmobile.
It was actually a pretty normal day when it happened. The birds were tweeting, the dogs were barking at the strangers happily, and the bees were out stinging their enemies. And, even though it was somewhat weird for that to happen in Gotham City, no one was complaining.
But, without any warning, the peace was disturbed. The Batmobile zoomed down the streets, leaving twin crazed laughs in its wake, making every unfortunate person have to dodge out of the way. The kids inside were having the time of their lives, both of them happy that they had finally outsmarted the Bat.
"Turn left here!" Robin yelled at Wally as they almost ran into a school.
Wally made a sharp left, narrowly dodging a dog, but hitting a fire hydrant. "That's twenty points!" He exclaimed happily.
Robin cackled at their little game, seeing that they were now nearing the hundred thousands in point accumulation. Taking a right in front of a gas station, Robin started fiddling with the buttons, trying to find the radio. What he found, gave him a little fear.
"Robin, Kid Flash, stop this madness right now." The gruff voice of Batman said through the radio, but Wally scoffed and handed Robin his Music Player.
"Put on a high speed chase song." Wally said, seeing a blur of red outside of the rear-view mirror.
Robin put on a rock song with a fast riff, making Wally start headbanging along with the bird, and pressed the pedal harder. The volume was so loud that they failed to hear the Flash's knocking on the door, all the while the man while yelled at them to stop.
Wally made a close call with an old lady while turning towards the right, and managed to hit a food vendor's cart. "That's forty points!" Robin remarked in a happy voice.
Wally laughed out loud, loving the adrenaline that was pumping through his veins, the thought of getting in trouble with the League somehow fascinating him. He absolutely loved breaking rules, but the rush he was receiving was proving to him just how fun it could truly be.
Alas, the fun ended much too soon. A bullet pierced through the armored wheel, making Wally have to try to park, which managed to make them slam into a warehouse's wall. The airbags hit them harder than they should have, but none of the kids could stop the laughter that erupted from them.
Red Hood jumped down from the building he had sniped from and ran towards the kids, worried about his brother, only to find both of them laughing hysterically. He may not like his replacement, but he respected Wally. And the fact that they had been crazy enough to pull this stunt... Well... The kids couldn't be all that bad from this.
"What were you two thinking?" He asked, stalking over to them with eyes narrowed.
Wally smiled up at him with a gap in his teeth, having slammed the airbags much harder than he should have, and goofily answered, "You know, Reddy points."
Red Hood couldn't help but smirk at them, then got a brilliant idea that would piss off the Bat. "Move over, Kid Dolt."
Robin jumped up on the hood of the car, letting Wally get in the passenger seat, then sat down on top of Wally. Red Hood sat in the driver's chair, and started up the car. It had only received minimal damage to the side, and the wheel had already fixed itself.
"This is how you drive a stolen car." He told them, then sped away from the panting Flash... Who had only just managed to reach them.
Rule #5: No bringing in more stray animals.
"Wally, what is that?" Artemis asked as the speedster walked towards the training room, a dog like creature on a leash behind him.
But, the dog had gills, and fins, and gray eyes that looked a lot like Kaldur's. Wally hummed in thought, then said, "Well, you know me and Kal had to go fight off Atlantis' invaders?" He asked, making Artemis nod. "Well, turns out those people are really good sorcerers, and... well... this happened to Kaldur." He answered with a scratch at the back of his head.
Artemis looked down at the 'dog' and crouched in front of it. It yipped, not liking the fact that he was in that body, making Artemis smile and pick him up. She hugged it to her chest, making it blush purple. "He's so cute!"
Wally nodded, then turned as the rest of his team entered, along with Batman. He smiled at all of them as Artemis got up with Kaldur, making them all wonder what had happened.
"What did you do now, Kid Flash?" Batman asked in a tired tone, as if he already knew it was Wally's fault.
Wally feigned innocence, and merely responded with "I blame magic."
Kaldur yipped as if to agree with him, then growled as the team started gushing over him. From then on, Kaldur and Wally were not allowed to go on missions alone, and no one was allowed to bring any more animals to the mountain.
