"Hey now! When I said 'catch me if you can' I didn't mean trip me." Robin frowned , sprawled out on the sidewalk dramatically. " If there were rules, that would be breaking them."

"There is also a 'no stealing' rule." Kid flash folded his arms. "Why are you here in Central Robin, I thought Gotham was where you lurked."

Robin smirked slightly, bringing his hands over his head and propping himself up into a handstand. "First of all, I only stole a few apples. I have to eat and it's not the end of the world if a few apples go missing. I thought with your new Mini-League that you would be more busy doing more important things." Robin slowly but elegantly blended his back so now his feet were planted on the ground, lifting his arms of the ground so he was now standing erect. " Come on KF, we have been buddies for months now. Why do you have to treat me like a crook?"

"Because you are one. We are not buddies, you just stick around like a human leech." Wally frowned a bit. Robin was not just some petty thief. He was devious and cunning, always two steps ahead. He took what he wanted and he was always up for the challenge. Which brings him back to his predicament. "How long are you going to blackmail me anyways? You know my civilian identity yet you have not once threatened me with it."

"If I'm not threatening you with it, it's not really blackmail now is it?" Robin grinned. " No worries KF, I don't plan on hurting friends, so get traught already."

"For the last time, we are not friends!" Wally protested.

"If that's the case, why haven't you told the Batman about my location? You know the he as well as most of the league is looking for me. You are helping me my dear speedster. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what friends do? Help each other?"

Wally hesitated for a moment. The other was right, the team was given strict orders to contact the league if they ever got the location of the masked teen. Matter of fact, Wally remembered helping him escape the league...twice. " That does not mean anything...I just don't think you are as much of a threat as they make you seem..it's overkill ya'know?" Why was he even trying to explain himself? It's not like the other deserved an explanation. " You helped the League out before, if you turned yourself in they might go easy on you."

"I only helped a few times because civilians were in danger." Robin grumbled.

"Now correct me if I'm wrong, but that's something a hero would do,Rob."

Robin cackled "Touché." He smirked slightly and shrugged "I'm just not 'hero material'. I steal, I hack, I overall don't follow rules... It's just not a good combo. As for turning myself in, I was never a fan of prisons, birds don't like to have their wings clipped and get caged up. I prefer freedom."

"But– Robin. Listen, I can't protect you forever. If the League finds you, I won't be able to get in their way. It was hard enough to get my team off your trail."

"I don't need protecting. I might look like a child, but I am everything but." Robin's face frowned, taking offense in the other's words. He pulled out an apple from his sachem and tossed it to the other before grabbing another and taking a bite. "They may fight in the streets, but I live on them. I have the home advantage. Eat up, you speedsters are always hungry right?"

Wally looked at the apple. "When was the last time you ate Rob? Apples are great and all, but they aren't very filling." Wally tried to hide it, but he was slightly worried for his frien– masked stranger that was blackmailing him with his identity.

"Dick." Robin muttered slightly, taking another bite of his stolen Apple that Wally was going to pay for after all of this is over.

"Excuse me?" Wally scowled " I was just trying to be a little friendlier, no need to be a jerk—"

Dick laughed slightly " No Kid Idiot, that's my name. Short for Richard." He rolled his eyes.

Wally gawked a bit " Why would you give me your identity?" This kid must be insane, that was the only explanation for it. "We are enemies and you are just like 'oh hey here is my name' like it's no big deal!"

"I don't see us as enemies, and I don't think you see us as that either." Dick smiled a bit , dropping his apple core on the ground. "I see you as a friend. And as a friend I trust you." He gave another shrug.

"Then why don't you trust me and come to the Mountain? You hacked in there before, you know that we help others. You can do the same!" Wally insisted "If we were on the same team, I would no longer have to cover for you..." He paused a bit. " Then maybe I would get a chance to know you so we COULD be friends."

Dick frowned a bit, the smile that he usually always had in disappeared. "Sorry Walls, but I can't do that." He pulled out a grappling gun and pointed it to the nearest roof. " I gotta go, but if you are ever in Gotham, I'll find you." He cackles and shoots the grappling gun."

"Wait! You can't just leave–" Wally started but the teen was already in the air, seconds after in the roof waving and disappearing into the shadows. "I swear, He is a mini bat..." He smirked slightly imagining Dick standing beside Batman. Oddly, it seemed right, they would be quite the duo... A dynamic duo. If only Dick could see the good that Wally saw in him, maybe things would have been different. That could have been best friends and hung out at Mount Justice instead of playing the weirdest game of cat and mouse. Wally glanced at the apple core. "He littered.." He sighed and picked it up, throwing it into a trash bin. His new 'friend' was going to get him into a lot of trouble one of these days.
