Young Justice Oneshots

Sleeping Birdy pt. 2

Wally was having a good day. He didn't have any homework, he hadn't been completely rejected  (he still didn't have a date, but no one had cussed him out or thrown wine in his face so Wally took them down as maybes), and to top it all off no crazies attacked the Gem Cities. Over all, Wally was whistling dixie.

Unfortunately, the Titans found a way to mess it up.

He was on his way to take the trash out before grabbing some shut eye when he noticed a suspicious rustling in the oak tree outside his bedroom window. Electing to slowly investigate the matter, Wally walked out to the back porch at an average pace.

"Hey, assbutt!" Wally invited. "Show yourself!"

After shouting a friendly hello to his visitor, Wally was suddenly and rudely yanked upward into said tree by a pair of surprisingly small but strong arms.

Needless to say, Wally was befuddled by the faces which met him.

"What are you doing here?" He asked. "Not that I'm not happy to see you or anything, but it's Dick's birthday. Why aren't you at home? And also, why are there three of you?"

"That's actually why we came," Tim said. They were all in costume, but Wally knew these guys as well as he knew his own family. Even better, it had seemed like lately.

But back to the matter at hand. Where Wally had previously been concerned that his wonderful day was about to hit an obstacle, he was now only worried about Dick's birthday. What could have happened?

"What is it?" Wally asked.

"We're not actually sure what's going on yet," Tim started, but Jason cut him off.

"But everyone at the party froze. Not froze-froze, but paused."

"What the hell?" Wally asked. "Who was it? How? Also, why didn't you just call?"

"Joker, we were hoping you could tell us, and whatever he used also knocked out our power." Damien supplied. "Our cell batteries are outsourced to the backup generators so that we never run out of power, but it backfires in situations such as these. Father should really think of a better system."

"How do you not know what happened?" Wally asked. "You're all detectives and scientists, right?"

Tim looked down sheepishly and the other two averted their eyes. "The Computer does most of that."

"What about Alfred?" Wally asked.

"Frozen," the Robins supplied.

"Barbara?"

"Frozen."

"Her dad?"

"Frozen."

"What's his name, the Wayne Tech guy? Lucius Fox?"

"Frozen."

Wally groaned loudly and rolled his eyes back in his head. "So you're telling me that literally all of your resources are fried and gone."

"That's why we're here," Tim said.

Wally sat back and let himself examine the situation at his speed. The guys were obviously desperate. He felt bad that they were in the situation at all. Mostly, though, he was freaking out about what to do for Dick. What if his brain was still working even though his body was frozen? Wally needed to help them out, and fast. Thankfully, science and speed were his specialties.

"Cool," Wally said. "Just let me check my computer real quick and let my mom know I have a mission."
