Chapter 8
Wally took us to the base in Paris where the Brotherhood of Evil was holding all of the Titans captive. He sped up in front of my former H.I.V.E teammates.
"Now's the time you're probably thinking, I shouldn't have hooked up with the Brotherhood guys. Hate to say it, but told ya" He retorted.
"Ahhhh!" Cyborg entered and was slammed on the stairs while fighting Control Freak.
Wally turned his head to Cyborg and continued, "Sorry I'm late, I had to pick up a friend." Wally pointed towards me.
I entered and was surprised to see everyone, but Seemore. I smiled knowing Seemore had taken action to leave.
"You're with him!? Traitor!" Gizmo yelled along with Mammoth, Kyd Wykkyd, and Billy Numerous' shocked faces behind him.
"Probably have some catching up to do." Wally looked over in my direction before speeding off to collect the defeated villains.
"Nothing personal." I proceeded to snap my fingers to erupt a small pink, electrical wave to swipe up the H. .
"Now that was unexpected." Cyborg commented before proceeding to knock out Control Freak with a huge punch.
As villains were getting defeated and fighting was getting easier. I turned to find Madame Rouge. I wanted to finish her off. Hot Spot and Wildebeest was cornering her and I snapped my fingers. She fell through the ground trapping her legs.
"Oops, did I do that?" I mocked her.
Hotspot and Wildebeest grabbed her arms on each side, stretching her. I snapped my fingers again, which let her legs go and she flew only to hit the freezing machine. She finally turned into an ice sculpture.
The battle between Villains and Heroes were over. Most of the villains now are frozen. I'm guessing crime rates will drop dramatically after this. After the battle, we headed back to Titans tower to take it easy. It was a relief lifted from everyone's shoulders. But I still couldn't let it go being surrounded by a bunch of heroes. Some greeted me and some just glared at me. I couldn't ignore that little pull in my gut anymore.
"Wally, what if I can't do this."
"Don't worry about it Slowpoke. You did great today. You helped us out. Trust me." He replied with reassurance while holding my hand.
"Hey, Wallman!"
As Wally and I turned around we were greeted with another familiar redhead… Speedy. He was exactly how I remembered him. Red short sleeve shirt, red pants, yellow boots, and archery attire. I couldn't forget the replica Robin mask. Word at the H.I.V.E he was messing around with a former assassin, it doesn't take a genius to figure out who.
"Long time no see." Speedy greeted Wally with a thumb clasp handshake.
"Speedy! How you been?" Wally excitedly responded.
"I've been good, just the usual. You finally made it. I thought you weren't going to come since I didn't see you earlier at the battle."
"Nah man, I just arrived late. I went to pick up someone." Wally explained.
"Ohhh I see." Speedy glanced over at Jinx and looked at her up and down while grinning.
"Way to pick em, Flash." Speedy gave Wally a pat on the shoulder.
"Dude." Wally was starting to get serious and elbowed Speedy.
"I'm just kidding… Partly. I'll get going. It was nice catching up. We should get together with the old gang and hang out sometime. What do you say?" Speedy suggested.
"That'll be great." Wally agreed.
"I'll text you guys the location and the date later. I got some more catching up to do. See ya." Speedy departed and went to greet Jericho and Herald.
"Speedy, huh? He's pretty laid back for a guy who usually takes things seriously."
"Yeah, he can get like that sometimes. You'll get used to him eventually." Wally inserted.
"I hope you're right about that. I wonder if he's still seeing you know who?" Jinx pondered with her hand on her right cheek.
"Yeah, I wonder about that too." He countered back.
"Ahem."
Wally and I turned around to see Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Beastboy, and Raven approaching us.
"Hey Kid Flash, can I talk to you alone for a minute?" Robin sternly requested. Although the mask hides his facial expression. Wally knew an unsure countenance was hiding under there.
"Sure, I'll be right back Slowpoke." Wally said in his usual happy go lucky tone as he turned away.
Both Titan boys walked off into the hospital wing to talk in private. Robin walked towards the metal chair and sat down. Wally sat on the left side of the hospital bed.
"So what do you want to talk to me about? Is it about that I showed up late to the fight? Sorry Robin I got caught up in some stuff." Wally genuinely explained.
"Actually that's not why I called you here. It's about Jinx. Would you care to explain why she's here?" Robin looked out the window with a solid expression.
Wally was calm, he knew it would come to this eventually. "Listen… Robin. I was meaning to talk to you about it. I just didn't know how to approach you in a way where things don't get ugly. I guess you beat me to the punch first." He shrugged while scratching the back of his head.
Robin took a deep breath figuring out a solution and trying to sympathize with Wally.
"Wally, I get what you're trying to do. But, Jinx was a villain. We had a full blown history fighting with her and the H.I.V.E. She ambushed the Tower and kicked us all out of our own home. She teamed up with Slade to attack us. Do you really think this is a good idea?" Robin stressed.
"That's the thing Robin. Jinx WAS a villain. It's past tense. She left all of that behind when she saved me from Madame Rouge. She could've turned me over but didn't. She helped us take down and fight against the Brotherhood of Evil. I think she deserves a chance." Wally countered.
"I don't know, I'm still unsure about all of this. Not to mention what happened with you and Artemis. As your teammate and friend. I don't want you to go through the same fiasco you did with her." Concern was stretched all over his face.
"Dick, thanks for caring. But I have a good feeling about Jinx. She realized what she did wrong and haven't committed a crime for the past six months. With her powers, she would make a good addition to the Titans." Wally asserted.
Robin took a moment for Wally's argument to sink in. He was thinking long and hard about it.
"Alright fine, I'll give her a chance. But on a few conditions." Robin raised his index finger.
"You name it, anything." Wally readily agreed.
"She has to do regular check ups with Raven. We can't tell if she's actually telling the truth and I need to know for sure until we can fully trust her. I can't go through another Terra situation. It's just too much to risk at this point." Robin expressed.
Wally thought it was unfair and also an invasion of her subconscious, but he is willing to prove that the person that he could always count on was the same person that everyone else could count on in the future. "Okay. Sounds fair, anything else?"
"One last thing, she can't get in contact with anyone who was apart of H.I.V.E academy and when I mean we need to keep an eye on her. We need her to stay at Titans Tower until we feel confident enough." Robin listed.
"You mean she has to sleep on the couch until you guys can trust her? You know I have my own place with her there. We can drop by I can run fast, remember?" Wally looked at Robin with confusion and disbelief.
"No Wally that's not what I meant. She will have her own room which will be Terra's old room. Plus, regardless of how fast you run it will be more convenient for her to stay here for a few days since she will be checked up by Raven anyways."
"Ohhhh right ha," Wally laughed sheepishly with an embarrassed countenance. "I got to start remembering things."
"And I never said she has to stay here alone. You could live with us to keep Jinx company. I know if she stays here by herself it'll get a bit lonely for her." Robin added
"Are you serious? You mean I'm allowed to stay!?" Wally excitedly vocalized "Whoo hoo!"
"Okay stay whelmed. Yes you can, so do we have a deal?" Robin holds out his green, gloved hand towards him.
"You got yourself a deal, I'll make sure Jinx understands." As Wally happily complied, he shook hands with Robin sealing their deal.
"I really can't believe you, out of all people would convince me to agree with something like this" Robin slouched against his chair.
"What are best buds for? I get you to do things that you normally wouldn't Robbie." Wally screeched as Robin got up and lightly smacked him with his back hand.
"You wish" Robin smirked at his comment.
This gave Wally a sense of joy that his friend still trusts his judgement after being a part for a while. Wally had flashbacks to when Robin and him were back at the League. They were best friends and inseparable.
*FLASHBACK*
August 3, 2004|1:06 P.M| Mount Justice
Robin, Miss Martian, Aqualad, Superboy, and Kid Flash were waiting for Black Canary to arrive to give lessons on combat for an active mission. Once she arrived she stepped on the sparring platform and it started to glow. They gathered around her and had a small discussion about lessons and bruises before they all jumped right into the lesson.
"Now, combat is about controlling conflict. putting the battle on your terms. You should always be acting, never reacting. I'll need a sparring partner." Black Canary sternly looked around the room.
With a banana in one hand Wally raised with his other available limb, "Right here! Yeah!" He walked up in front of Black Canary and inhaled the remainder of his banana, "After this, whish. I'll show you my moves."
Black Canary smirked taking him on as a challenge as she swiftly punched him. She quickly twisted and kicking his lower ankles causing Wally to fall backwards onto the floor.
"Oh… Urgh… Hurts so good." Wally groaned.
"Good block, but did anyone see what he did wrong." Black Canary questioned while holding out her hand helping Wally stand up.
"Ooh Ooh! He hit on teacher and got served?" Robin sarcastically answered holding up his index finger. Wally was holding his left shoulder trying to ease the pain, "Dude!"
*FLASHBACK ENDS*
Smiling at the old times, Wally snapped back to reality and continued his conversation with Robin.
"So how have you been Dick? The last time I heard about you was when you and Starfire made headlines after the Tokyo fiasco. Care to fill me in?" Wally wiggled his eyebrows prompting Robin to answer.
"I- It's nothing, how are you and Jinx?" Robin nervously stammered trying to change the topic.
"Uh-uh Robin, not so fast buddy. Give me the details or so help me I guess I have to ask Starfire to fill me in." Wally knew he cracked Robin, out of everything he was afraid of is people finding out he is a sap.
"Fine, I finally asked Starfire to be my girlfriend." Robin blushed.
"Do you love her?" Wally continued.
"More than life itself. She's really different, a good type of different." Robin smiled.
"See, wasn't that easy?" Wally humorously poked Robin.
"Shut up..." Robin retorted.
Wally chuckled before turning back, "Let's get back to everyone, you probably don't want to keep Star waiting." Wally gave a wink towards Robin. He walked side by side with Robin before they came to a complete stop at the door.
"Wait.. Wally. I also needed to tell you something else. It almost slipped my mind. I wasn't going to bring it up, but you needed to know this." Robin explained.
"Okay, if it's about me showing up late again. I'm so-"
"Artemis is in Jump City." Robin cut him off.
