Well, this is a little side project that I have decidedc to start. I won't update it all the time, because I want to try to get back into the groove with another story. But this is just going to be a series of one-shots with Robin and our two favorite gingers. That's right, Roy and Wally! This is just ging to be good frineds vs best friends. Obviously, Robin is friends with everyone else on the team, but he is closer to the red heads. These chapter shall explain why. Hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice. I do not own it's characters, or the moments that I am using in this story. Well, not all of them. There's a good chance that I'll make some moments up.

Anyway, legalities aside, WORDS will be for the things that say, "a good friend..." and "but a best friend..." Words in normal print are obviously just part of the story.

A good friend will argue when you tell them to leave you in a dangerous situation. But they'll leave when you tell them that you'll follow right after because they trust you...

The bombs that Robin had placed on the mother ship's core were going to explode literally at any second. The doors had sealed shut and now? Now they were surrounded by robot drones. Totally asterous, right? Yeah...not so much. Robin crouched behind a wall next to KF, while Miss Martian and Martian Manhunter were hiding behind another wall across from them. *Robin, what do we do?* Miss Martian asked. After Kaldur sacrificed himself, Robin became the leader. So far, all he had managed to do was get Kid's hopes up, get Superboy killed, and break Megan's heart. Now, he was going to do the right thing. He was going to be a good leader. He needed Wally for a few seconds to give the Martians time to escape. After that, hopefully Kid Flash would be able to vibrate through the walls and get himself out.

Robin looked over at M'gann. *Manhunter, take Miss Martian and get out of here.*

Megan's eyes flared. *No! We aren't leaving you behind!* She didn't know if she could take losing anymore team mates.

Robin glared at her. *Get out here! That's an order.* J'onn didn't wait to be told again. He grabbed Miss Martian's hand and started to pull her towards the door.

*Robin-*

*Miss M, as soon as we're done here, we'll follow. I promise. Now go!* Robin offered her a small reassuring smile. Miss Martian allowed her uncle to lead her through the wall with one last glance at her two friends. Robin closed his eyes and pulled out some exploding bird-a-rangs. He looked at KF, who nodded. They had about fifteen seconds left before they were toast. Running out from behind the wall, they took the drones out in four. Turning to his best friend, Robin said, "Kid, go. There's still time for you to vibrate through the wall and get out of here."

Kid nodded. "Yeah...there is. Too bad I'm too stubborn to take the chance."

Robin frowned. "KF, I'm serious. Leave while you still have a shot of making it."

"Then come with me," Kid Flash responded, holding out a hand so that he could take Robin with him.

"You just barely got the hang of vibrating your own molecules. You can't get us both through that wall."

KF put his hands on his hips. "Then I'm not leaving."

Robin inwardly sighed with relief. He didn't want to die alone. But he didn't want his best friend to die with him. "Wally, please! Just go." Robin begged, knowing that it was futile. He started shaking as he looked at how much time they had. About eight seconds. Eight seconds before they would die in a fiery explosion. Wally wrapped his arms around his little brother.

"Dick, face it. Your stuck with me. Best friends forever and all that junk." Wally chuckled. Robin latched on to the red headed speedster as they sunk to the floor.

"Wally...I'm scared." Robin said quietly. Five seconds.

"It's okay, Dick. I'm scared too. Just close your eyes, and don't think about it. The force of the blast alone will knock us unconscious, so we really won't feel a thing," Wally said, trying to comfort his friend with science. Dick chuckled a little.

"I love you Wally. Like a brother." Three seconds.

Wally smiled. "I love you too, Dick. Like a brother." Two seconds. The boys shut there eyes tight and held on even tighter. They heard the blast and then...

Dick sat up with a gasp. He had beads of sweat all over his face. Everything was so dark...wait. Dick turned his head and saw Batman standing next to him, with concern on his face that only he could see. "B-Batman?" Robin asked. For that was who he was at the moment. Batman nodded mutely and put his hand on the boys back. Robin felt like he was going to throw up. He started shaking and he pulled his knees up to his chest, wrapping his arms around them. He was now a shaking ball of nerves.

"Just breathe, Robin. It's alright." Batman whispered softly. Robin squeezed his eyes shut. He felt so hot. He wanted to rip the sweatshirt he was wearing off. How had he gone from being in a fiery death with Wally, to sitting on some concrete slab in the cave? Wally. Robin's head snapped up and he searched for his red headed brother from another mother. Wally locked eyes with him and Robin saw the same worry in his best friend's eyes melt away. Wally smiled and weakly made his way over. Robin seemed to be the only one that wasn't able to stand. Granted, M'gann was only standing because Captain Marvel was there to hold her up. Batman walked away to let the boys talk.

Wally put his hand on the younger boy's still trembling shoulder. "Hey, Rob. You okay?" Robin opened his mouth to answer, but he just let out a quiet, choked sob. By quiet, I mean silent. You couldn't have noticed it unless you were looking the boy wonder in the face, which the fastest boy alive was. Robin started hyperventilating as he remembered it was all a training exercise. A sick one that their mentors had cooked up. Robin was also playing back his and Wally's deaths...again, and again. Wally jumped up onto the slab with Robin and wrapped his arms around his little brother. "Shh. It's alright Rob. We're fine. You're fine. It wasn't real."

"I-I know. B-b-but it f-felt real." Robin stuttered through his silent tears. The younger raven-haired boy hid his face in his older brother's shoulder.

"I know, Robin. I know." Wally said soothingly as he rubbed Robin's back.

Robin looked up at Wally. "You wouldn't leave."

"What?" Wally asked, stunned by the sudden change of topic. Tears were still racing down the young boy's face, but he was now upset about something else.

"You're such an idiot. Why didn't you leave? You could have gotten out!" Robin's eyebrow knit together.

Wally bit his lips together so he wouldn't smile. "Rob...I told you. I wasn't leaving my best friend behind."

"But...why?" Robin just didn't understand. If someone told him to go, to save himself he would...have done the same thing as Wally. But that was different. He had watched his parents die and had sworn that he would never let it happen again. He didn't understand Wally's choice.

Wally shook his head as he ruffled Dick's hair. "Because, you dork. I'm your best friend. I know you." Wally said. "Even with the mask or sunglasses on," he continued in a whisper, "I can tell what you're really feeling. You told me to go, but you are terrified of being alone. You wanted-no. You needed me to stay with you. After losing everyone else, you couldn't take going out alone."

Robin stared at his best friend. "But...but I would have been dead. Why did it matter what I could or couldn't take? I would have been gone anyway, not like I would be alone for long."

"I don't care. I'm your big brother, Rob. I'm always going to look out for you. Deal with it." Wally said as he messed up Robin's ebony locks once again. Robin smirked and even let out a muted giggle. Batman turned his head ever so slightly at the sound. It was moments like these where he was thankful that Wally West was his son's best friend.

...but a best friend will drag you away with them, or hold you tight, even if it means facing death.

This is the first of many chapters. The next will be Roy related. Some will have both of the boys. I hope you guys like this. Please review! And by please I mean now! :(
