Robin and Kid sat on the rooftop watching their mentors fight a gang of thugs who were picking on some street kids.
But Dick's attention was fully on Wally.
He had never met another sidekick before. This was his first time meeting a kid his age that was a hero as well.
"So Kid, how long have you been working with The Flash for," Dick asked trying to start up with the boy. Wally looked down at the older heroes feet dangling off the ledge. When Wally thought the heroes were busy he looked back at Dick.
"Okay good they aren't watching," Wally sighs in relief. Gears start turning in Dick's head.
"Wally?"
"Ding ding ding, we have a winner."
"So your uncles are..."
"Yerp," Wally says smiling. "I don't want them to know that we know either," Wally explains.
"You aren't allowed to give away your secret identity are you?" Dick figured.
"I remember I would use to always dye my hair before I went out because I got so paranoid that someone would recognize me." Wally chuckles.
"Can I ask you a question?" Dick sits beside Wally. The orange haired boy nods his head. "Are you born with powers or what?"
This question was always at the back of Dick's head. He had no idea how some people got powers. Clark tried explaining it to Dick once but when he finally mentioned that he was an alien form another world Dick's 8-year-old mind just told him to run away.
"Are you referring to my powers of seduction?" Wally winks.
"I swear I will throw you off this to West."
"Alright, jeez tough crowd. So basically I was a superfan of the Flash and I stalked him for a while. When my aunt started dating him I found the notes on his desk that contained a list all the chemicals he accidentally got covered with and gave him powers. I recreated the experiment, bada bing bada boom, I now have super speed and a photographic memory." Wally finished his origin story then turned to the Dick. "What about you?"
"Google Richard Grayson or the Flying Grayson's when you get home. You will find out everything about me and my 'tragic back story'." He said using air quotations. "Hell, just look up Bruce Wayne adopts circus freak."
Wally notices the tone change in Dick's voice. "Hey, I don't care that you were in a circus. That actually seems pretty awesome. Your birthday parties must have been bomb!"
"The only friend I had to invite was the baby elephant."
"As for the freak, I think you are more of a weirdo." Dick goes into punch Wally on his arm but Wally uses his quick reflexes to stop the hit. Dick felt a ping in heart as the speedster gripped his wrist.
"Kiddos I thought I told you to play nice with each other." The teens whip their heads around to see Hal hovering in front of them. Wally let's go of Dick and waves. "Batman says he wants you two to try and work together. Do you two need help getting down?"
"I'll just take the stairs. Be there in a second. Literally." Wally exclaims. Hal looks to Robin. The Raven haired boy takes his grappling hook out of his utility belt then smirks at Wally. "Can I get one of those GL?"
"Pssh, you would probably get tangled in the rope," Hal says.
"I'll have you know I am pretty sure I'm capable of shooting rope- Wait where's Robin?" Wally looks around the rooftop then back at the ground.
"Taking longer than a second Kid," Dick yells from the alley. Wally runs down the stairs amazed at how fast Dick got down.
"Robin, Kid, the 3 of us have decided you two are going to meet up every week from now on and work together. And next week you will meet both Speedy and Aqua Lad. They are both highly skilled and highly tactical. Next week you two will have to team up to beat them both or at least try. They have been told the same thing. Robin, Kid Flash is going to be staying in Gotham for the next week so you will be getting to know each other. When you work in a team you have to trust each other with your lives or else your dead. Trust each other like you trust your mentors." Batman informs the two kids.
"That was blunt." Wally said earning himself a glare from the dark knight sending a wave of chills down his back.
"You two better win. If you don't I'm going to be trading out these sweet green tights for a short skirt."
"What are we going to be doing for the rest of the night, Batman?" Dick asks raises his hand.
"How are you going to really learn anything by sitting on the sidelines?" Bruce smirks.

Dick jumps on to his twin sized bed exhausted from a day's work. He looks at the clock sitting on his desktop. 3:49 am. He yawned then pulled out his phone.

Message received 3:42 am
Dick looked at the text then decided it would only be fair to Google Wally's name. He typed Wally West into the google search on his phone and a whole list of results showed up. The first thing that came up was science fair winner. He pressed on the link and quickly read over the page.
Wally West is Keystone High's science fair for the 3rd year in a row. This year he figured out how to produce a new type of biodegradable plastic that won't disintegrate or melt when coming in contact with water. Truly a gifted young scientific mind.
Dick kept on scrolling down until he found a new interesting article.
Local teen blows up school science lab.
He presses on the news and a picture of Wally pops up. He had a huge goofy smile on his face and held up a peace sign but a layer of black powder or was it ash covered the majority of his face. Dick started to laugh. He copied the link of the website and sent it to Wally through text.
Omg XD

I assume there is a story behind this.
Message sent 3:57 am
This was in seventh grade and I was demonstrating something for my science project. They had to evacuate the whole school. The eighth-grade students had a huge math test that day too so that was how I got popular.
Message received 3:58 am
The two of them texted each other until the crack of dawn. Sharing funny stories, talking about life, and just getting to know each other better.
Hey Dick, are you busy later?
Message received 6:03 am
Not in the afternoon. Why?
Message received 6:03 am
Well, I was thinking we get a taste of our opponents fighting style. The bat never said anything about playing dirty.
Message received 6:03 am
It's like you can read my mind West.
