Ra's Al Ghul's POV

"Sir, they're here." One of the assassins said, bowing down.
"Bring them in, don't keep me waiting." I spoke will calmness, but inside I was boiling with rage.
The assassin bowed once more before walking out of the room.
He comes back minutes later with Cheshire, Sportsmaster, and Deathstroke.
Deathstroke was walking with his usual calmness and confidence.
Sportsmaster was seething with anger.
While Cheshire was chained up, being dragged by Sportsmaster, bruises all over her.
Sportsmaster and Cheshire instantly kneeled while Deathstroke scoffed.
"Why am I here?" He spoke up, staring me right in the eyes.
"I recently sent Cheshire to get rid of young Wallace.-"
"What?" He interrupted, "You sent someone to kill my apprentice. Why? We made a deal."
"The deal was broken the moment he joined the opposing side. Besides.. What about Raven? Where is she exactly?" I asked with mock interest.
"On a mission. Nevermind her, why did you send Cheshire to kill my apprentice?" He asked
I chuckled, "he knows to much. It seems he's been giving them information on us. He must be dealt with. But Cheshire has failed to do so." I glanced at her while she bowed her head in shame. Sportmaster stands up, yanking her up with him.
"My apologies for my daughter's incompetence. I-" I held up a hand silencing him.
"If she can't kill him, what makes her cut out to be an assassin? To be one of us?" I asked, Cheshire getting the hint of where this was going bowed down once again.
"My apologies, next time I will kill him. I will not fail you again," she spoke with a calm aura, but I can see her visibly shaking.
"No." Spoke Deathstroke, "if you kill him, I will kill you. Wallace hasn't told the Justice League anything about your pathetic League. You didn't think I would just let him go without keeping an eye on him. Did you?"
We stared at each other, neither backing down.
Finally, "Wallace will see the light Deathstroke. As of now he is our enemy. He needs to be dealt with." I spoke with an edge, "Now were you aware of his.. New abilities?"
"What are you talking about?" He asked with a glare
I chuckle, "Leave."
And with a wave of my hand they were all escorted out.
I know I probably just made a mistake by going up against the Deathstroke, but I am not afraid.
They will see the Light.
Everyone will see the Light.

Wally's POV

Days have passed and we have nothing on where Raven could be.
We were all dressed in civies, except for the Titans of course. Me and this dimensions Raven have spent a good amount of time together. She's been helping me gain control over these new abilities. But even she doesn't know how I have them.
Unless my Raven gave me part of her powers or soul. But I highly doubt that.
Aqualad knows everything.
So does Robin.
I'm pretty sure Artemis knows too.
Oh and TTRaven and TTRobin.
"I am so not feeling the aster," I mumbled to myself.
"Now who's butchering the English language?" Cackled Robin.
"Man, I'll never get used to you laughing." Chuckled Cyborg.
"No kidding," piped up Beast Boy, before they both went back to their game.
"What's wrong Wally?" Questioned M'gann with concern.
I sigh, "Robin?" Said person looks over at me, "how did your team take the whole you being Slade's apprentice thing?"

Everyone tenses but Robin answers, "they didn't take it well at first. They honestly thought I was a traitor. But once they realized why I did it it calmed over. They understood. They accepted me and the past. It was a long ways to get through, but not only did I have a team that'll stay by my side but I had friends who will always have my back."
I smile, "Thanks Robin." I look back at the team, "do you all trust me?"
"Of course, my friend."
"Yea dude."
"You still have my trust, even if you are keeping secrets."
"Of course Wally."
".."
"Artemis?" I asked hesitantly.
"You helped me and my sister back when we were younger. You know my past." She mumbled
"Yea, but you know mine."
"But I don't!" She screamed, standing up in the process. "I only know you were with Slade. Not how you got there. Or your parents. Or anything."
We stare at each other for a minute, "Slade said he saw potential in me at a very young age. Me and Raven wasn't suppose to become friends. But it gave him a better opportunity to take her." I explained
"Why did he want her?" Questioned Superboy
"I-" I glance at this world's Raven, who pulled her hood up over her head. "I can't say. But he came to me before he even knew me and Raven were friends. Offered me to become his apprentice and to take me from my parents. At that time I wanted to leave. They.. They abused me." I hear people gasp and I look up to see I have everyones' attention. Even other me and Jinx were here listening.
I notice his head down, "your-your parents abused you too?" He mumbled.
"Yea," I whisper back, "but I denied his offer. He later found out we were so close and used her against me. By then I knew everything about her. She showed me her memories comnecting our minds together. Kind of like a mind link."

Everyone was watching me. Listening. Judging me. But I continued on. I needed them to trust me.
"I went with him when I was 9 so he wouldn't touch her. I was with him for 3 years.. I did so many bad things before Raven brought me home." I started choking on my tears. "I had been Kid Flash for a year. Zoom came to me one time while Flash was on a mission.. He-he vibrated his hand through my chest.... I died." I hear people gasp and a few sobbing, "Raven saved me. I don't know how, but she did. But then she was taken. There was a fight, he said something to her. She pushed me away and went with him. I failed her. That mission we had was the first time I've seen her in years. That mission was the first time I've heard about Slade in years." By the end I was full on sobbing, just like I was the first time I told the story.
I hear moving before arms engulf me. I look up and to my surprise it was Artemis. I move a bit and hug her back, sobbing into her shoulder. Soon the entire team joins in.
"It's ok Wally," I hear M'gann whisper.
"Yea dude," giggles Robin, "besides, your stuck with us as much as we're stuck with you!"
I laugh a bit, "so you guys aren't mad?"
"Of course not Baywatch," Artemis says slapping me on the head.
We all let go and just sit in silence for a minute before we hear a whistle.
"That's some past you have there," states TTKid Flash.

I laugh a bit more before the questions started coming. And boy did they come. We all sat there for over an hour them asking me questions and me answering them. Raven comes over and sits beside me.
"Told you they wouldn't judge you," she smirks
"Yea," I smile back, before I frown, "now when are you going to tell your team?"
"When you all leave," she simply answers.
We stare at each other before we smile at each other.
'Wally?' I hear in my head. I tense up and some people notice. TTRaven tenses up beside me and I knew she heard to.
'R-Raven?' I question back hesitantly. TTRaven reaches over and grabs my arm.
'Help.' Was all she said before silence.
'Raven? Raven!?' I scream in my head, but nothing.
I jolt up and people stare at my actions. "She's in trouble. We have to help her. I have to go. I-"

"Wally!" Screams TTRaven, grabbing my arms. That's when I noticed everything in the room was floating. Including a couple of people.
"You need to calm down." She orders and I instantly take a deep breath. Soon everything goes back to where they were. Some people questioning what happened, but I couldn't listen at a time like this.
I look back at TTRaven, "But I-" *SQUACK*
We all turn and we see a red four eyed raven sitting on the back of the couch.
"You!" I exclaim, getting up close to it, "take me to where Raven is!" It stares at me for a bit.
"Wally..?" Questioned Rob
"Kid Flash what is the meaning of this?" TTRobin spoke up this time.
More and more questions pop up, but I ignore them. I just continue to stare at the raven.
"Please," my voice cracks in the middle due to me trying not to cry. It lets out one final squack before flying off and I instantly chase it to the unknown that awaits me, people screaming behind me but all I could think about was Raven.
