Disclaimer: I don't own YJ/TT...YET. If I did, I would kidnap Wally and Beast Boy just so I can hug them :3

As the morning sun went up and light filled the tower with its glory, Wally was already awake and getting ready for the day. He admits that he usually sleep in until noon when sleeping at Mount Justice or his uncle's house (not his own house. No, there lived the true enemy of teenagers. The parents), but he was at Jump City with his team. He looks up at the mirror and started to think about the choices he has made so far and all the secrets he has kept.

The Teen Titans was formed on his third visit to Jump City. He remember having a fight with his mentor -which was really rare- and took off on his own to prove a point about being independent, with it all ending with fighting alongside other teen superheroes and saving the princess or Tamaran, Starfire. After everything settled down he went back to make peace with Flash, two months after their big fight, but never told him about the Titans.

With Robin and the others he didn't even bothered to say anything about his team. Telling them might result in the League sticking their head in his business, and pressure the Titans to talk about their pasts that they didn't want to remember. He knew from heart that he can trust Robin, and he did, but he didn't want to get into a argument right now and did not need a Bat-interrogation.

The Titans, on the other hand, he wasn't sure if it was a good idea to tell them. The incident with Terra left him thinking about the situation too hard. Sure, he wasn't working for a bad guy (thinking about what Slade did still made him really angry), but he wasn't sure if it was right to tell them.

He sighed and took a quick cold shower to distract himself, then dressed in his Kid Flash uniform and actually took the time to walk to the living room. Before reaching his destination, he stopped and walked into his "office"

The room was darkly lit with newspaper articles taped onto the walls, souvenirs neatly organized on a shelf (yes, he does it with the Titans too), a metallic table was located in the middle with disassembled gadgets scattered on top of it. In the middle of the messy table was a metallic mask with one side black and the other half a copper orange. He had a science kit in one of the corners, and let no one inside.

He shook his head with a deep sigh and continued his way to the living room. None of the Titans, other than Raven and himself, woke up this early in the morning. The door closed behind him as he looked into the fridge. He knew what he shouldn't eat (Beast Boy and his love for tofu) and what he should simply avoid at all cost (moldy food). He grabbed the milk and started to drink out of it as he looked over the city, peaceful, a real beauty with the light reflecting off the water's surface and windows of the many tall buildings.

The Titans don't know his secret identity, Young Justice did (even if it was only his first name), Young Justice never think of him as the leading type, the Titans never thought of him as an idiot, the Titans saw him serious, Young Justice was yet to see it. Both team knows his goofiness, his love for science, his love of helping people, his love for running, his optimism, his dislike towards needles, dislike towards being hungry, dislike towards being useless. What they didn't know was his fears, his secrets, what truly makes him angry, and many more.

He doesn't want the team to meet each other, not now.

The alarm goes off and the Titans are already suited up for a mission. Awake and alive, his rule in the morning, was being followed without a moments hesitation.

The bank was filled with screaming people, except for one in the middle of the room. Mumbo Jumbo was laughing as money flew into his hat, but all was stopped when a green energy bolt hit him square in the back. He quickly turned around to see his attackers.

"Hey Mumbo! Stop being a weirdo and let's dance." Kid Flash grind and pulled down his goggles over his eyes. "Titans, go!"
