Careful not to draw any attention to himself, Wally continued to follow Robin a safe distance behind him. There was no way he was going to stay at the manor knowing his new friend was in danger. Snart was still out there, and Wally knew for a fact that said villain was going to go after the little red bird. He watched Robin leaping from one roof to another and land gracefully on his feet. There was no denying that kid had talent.

...

After around and hour or so, Dick the heard unmistakable sound of distress coming from an abandoned house. Looking in the window he saw what looked like 3 grown men beating up a kid on the floor. Dick instantly barged in and used a smoke bomb from his utility belt as a distraction. While the men were temporarily blinded, Dick knocked each of them out with a powerful punch to the head. As the smoke cleared, he quickly rushed over to the kid on the ground. He didn't seem to be seriously hurt, but was covered in bruises and had a bleeding gash on his forehead. Dick helped the boy up and closely inspected him for signs of concussion. The boy looked around 12 with dark hair and bright teal eyes, he was also very thin and wearing ripped ragged clothing. "Robin?" the boy gasped. "The Robin?!"

Dick smiled and nodded, then reached for the first aid kit in his belt. He began cleaning the would and applying disinfectant. The hero was so focused on patching the laceration that he failed to notice the younger boy gazing at him with complete adoration. "Wow. I never thought I'd see you in the flesh" the boy muttered. After dressing the wound and putting his first aid kit away, Dick smiled again. "What's your name?" he asked.

"Jason Todd" the boy replied, extending his arm. While shaking hands, Dick suddenly got an idea. He reached back down to his belt and retrieved a birdarang, handing it to Jason. "Here. To remember me by" he said. Jason eyed the weapon as if it was a million dollar check. "Wicked" he whispered.

"Listen kid, I better go. You go straight home now okay? It's not safe to be wondering around by yourself" Dick said seriously. He patted the boys shoulder and left the building.

Another 3 hours went by and Dick was starting to feel the lack of sleep get to him. He decided he would head back in half an hour if he didn't see any more activity. Walking down an isolated side street, Dick got a strange feeling in his gut, the kind that told him he was being watched. Before he could do anything else, something struck the back of his head. He got hit with enough force that sent him falling on his back into the pavement. Before he could get back up he felt a heavy boot press on his chest, pushing back down into the concrete. The blow on his head had made his vision go blurry too. He was trapped. He tried to focus his eyes and saw the faint outline of a very angry looking Leonard Snart.

"You know Bird boy, last night was the night I had planned for FOUR years. FOUR FUCKING YEARS of work got my little snowball right where I wanted him...But YOU had to come and ruin everything didn't you?" Dick felt the weight on his chest push him harder into the ground. "Love is a dangerous thing to get in between Robin. Now, before i turn your little Bird brain to mush, tell me where he is"

Dick simply stared at the psychotic villain standing above him. He honestly couldn't decide whether he was more disturbed or confused. Was this guy mental? Why the hell was he so interested in Wally?

His silence just made Snart angrier. Reaching to his back pocket he pulled out a gun and aimed it smack bang in the middle of Dick's forehead. "You don't wanna talk? Fine. I'll just find him myself. Nothing I haven't done before" He snarled venomously. Before anything else could happen, there was a flash of yellow, and Dick witnessed the gun disappear out of Cold's hand. The action made Snart smile with a lovesick look on his face, making Dick's stomach churn.

"Awww, look. My little snowball's here" Snart almost cooed. Dick turned his head to where the villain was looking and almost chocked on air. There was Wally, standing 3 feet away from them, holding the gun that was just threatening to kill Dick. Wally looked at Dick, and their eyes locked. It was at that moment that Dick connected all the dots.

He knew the flash, He was from central, He knew Captain Cold and last but not least...Dick tore his eyes from the emerald green ones and down at the gun Wally was holding... He had super speed.

Wally was Kid Flash
