3rd person Monday 7:00pm
The team watches as Wally rushes out. Worry was evident in all their expressions, Dawn Riser being the only one confused.
"Uh... what was that all about?" She asks
"A lot has happened to our speedster friend. We are wary when we see him, he has been acting... strange." Aqualad informs.
"Why don't you just follow him?" She asks
"Complicated." Robin answers curtly.
Its silent after that.

Wallys pov
How did I let the time go by!? I'm in so much trouble... he'll make the glass incident look like nothing I just know it...
I open the door silently, hoping I can reach my room before he knows I'm home.Why do I ever think I can win??
"Wallace! I said dinner. At. SIX!" he yells.
He stands in the stairway, blocking me from my room.
"I-i'm sorry... I got lost..." I lie.
"Lost eh. You sure about that?" A new voice says. One I recognize all too well.
I turn slightly, towards the living room on my left, its him, the man who made my life a living hell. Rudolph West.
.....Robins pov
Shortly after Wally left, I too made my exit, but I was going somewhere else.I had to talk to Roy.
Once I was in his city, getting to his apartment was easy enough. I pick his lock and burst in,
"Speedy Gonzales? Its me bugs!" I say in my best bugs bunny voice.
An arrow flies at me and I dodge it easily.
"For a mouse you have a temper." I grumble.
"Rob, what are you doing here??" Il demande.
My happy face turns serious,
"We need to talk." I state
He narrows his eyes,
"About?"
"Wally."
.....
Artemis pov
'Why would he hide things from us...again?? After what happened... he comes in with a bruise and calls it a mugging?? Really?? He was acting so strange. Every time he said 'mom' he cringe just a little. And when he saw the time?? He always has to be somewhere, and now he looks scared! What is going on!'
"Artemis... are you okay?" M'gann asks
"Uh... yeah I'm fine." I say
"I can feel that your mind is not at ease... I just want to help..." she replies
"Secrets have hurt this team before.... I don't want that to happen again." I say
"Its okay... we'll figure it out. We always do."....
Wallys pov
I ran into the kitchen, anywhere to get away, but I was trapped. No where to go. I could yell... the neighbors would hear... right? I don't think I can take this... two people after my blood for no reason. Five boys at school that like to beat me up for freakin homework... maybe I should call-
I run into a solid object and fall backwards. Looking up I'm not surprised to see Rudolph above me, and find Tristan behind me.
"Rudy here told me all about you 'kid flash'." Tristan says mockingly
"Yeah. I guess deals aren't kept sometimes." Rudolph says
'Deals.... I'm still on the team.... so he told someone. And now they're gonna work together to hurt me....'
"You think your life sucked before?" Rudy starts
"Your in for it now." Tristan finished.
They each grab one of my arms and drag me towards the basement. I struggle, even though I know its in vain, if I can just get my phone from my pocket, I can call help. Before I can react they shove me down the stairs. I tumble and let out 'oofs' and groans.
The two men follow soon after. One of them must have seen me reach onto my pocket, because I'm once again lifted. The phone is ripped from my hands, thats when it decides to ring. The 'inspector gadget' theme song goes off, its Robin.
"I will find and kill your friends if you speak a word of this, your going to tell this 'Dick' your fine. Got it?" My father growls.
'If he's still in contact with other villains.... then he really could kill them.... all of them.'
I nod reluctantly, he shoves the phone into my hand and I answer before the last second.
"Hey D, whats up?" I ask, as Normaly as I can.
"Hey Wally, the team was wondering if you were coming in for training tomorrow?" He asks
"Uh... I don't know, lots going on... I'll have to tell ya later...." I reply.
My father snarls at me, a look that says 'hurry up'.
"Okay... you alright, you sound weird" he comments
"I have to go. Tell A I say hi." I say quickly.
"Wait wha-" hes cut off, Tristan grabs my phone and throws it across the room, where it hits a wall and shatters.
"Lets get started."
The first punch is to my face, I fall backwars as my eye throbs. Another one comes immediately after, and I hear my nose Crack. I let out a yell of pain, which earns me another punch. My nose cracks back into place, I can already feel the warm blood flowing from it. I'm thrown the ground again, where they preceded to kicking. I can feel the familiar pain of a few of my ribs breaking, as well as the many bruises I'll have to walk with. Rudolph puts a hand around my throat and drags me up the wall. With a final punch to the gut I'm dropped to the ground where I empty my stomach contents. I hear heavy thuds as the two men exit the basement, then I hear the soft click of the lock. I get on my hands and knees, nothing left to empty. My breathing is the only thing heard in the concrete room. Even though its warm season, the basement is muggy and cold. And I don't think I'm leaving anytime soon.A/N
Oh no! RUDYS BACK!!! Poor Wally. And Roys coming back in next chapter. I'm thinking to make the next chapter a lot more of the others, just to include them all. Thanks!!!
Byyyyeee
