(A/N: Hey peeps! Well after many reviews asking for a sequel to "The Broken Ones" this is what I came up with. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone! and that the first couple of chapters are going to be a couple of months before Young Justice Invasion. So, they will be cute little drabbles and such. I hope you guys don't mind. It'll make sense later in the story why I started like this so, enjoy! Also, new readers probably should read The Broken Ones before reading this one. Thanks)
Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice Invasion. But I love writing about Birdflash. :D

"What the hell is that?" Wally asked pointing to the bundle of fur that seemed to be filled with too much energy for his given mood.
Classes at the university were just a pain at the moment. For his professor had just given him a five-page essay on the Theory of Relativity and how it is related to Newton's third law of Motion, due at the end of the week. It wasn't like it was hard for Wally to do. It was just that he was in a very sour mood ever since he had gotten back home from work and reminded himself about it.
Work was another story with customers, complaining to him that he didn't put enough of veggies and sauce on their sandwich. This caused Wally to grab handfuls of the asked veggie or sauce and slapped it on the sandwich out of frustration. It made the customer happy, and that's what the speedster lived for. But he believed his breaking point was when this very religious woman came back in after receiving her sub. With her face distorted about to break down, explaining to his manager that Wally hadn't put enough love into her sandwich and she couldn't bear to take a bite.
Needless to say today wasn't on Wally's top list of best days.
Now looking over towards his lover, who was messing around with this furry thing that was recently lying low, ready to pounce as the toy in the bird's hand went suddenly still. He turned to look at Dick's face that was looking at him with a very cheesy smile.
"A new member of our family." Dick said, shrugging the smile still lacing his lips. His action caused the toy to move suddenly and the little ginger-haired kitten advanced on it, letting its claws go deep within the toy and started to chew on it with its sharp baby teeth.
Wally's temper was waning thin as he sat in the plush lounge chair in their living room, shrugging his bag off his shoulder and let it drop to the ground beside him. The little kitten jumped a bit from the sound the bag made as it contacted the floor and curiously crept toward it.
"Dick, we already have a dog. Wally groaned rubbing his temples within his three digits.
"I know. But at work Mrs. Brown came in with a box of kittens that her cat gave birth to five weeks ago. She needed to get rid of them quickly since she's unable to take care of them. And I seriously couldn't believe how adorable this one was." Dick replied crossing his legs and leaned onto the couch, patting the pup between the ears.
"Dick you seriously can't bring home every animal you get in the shelter you think is cute. Like Aster" Wally said looking down for he felt something on his foot and saw that the kitten that was recently playing with the strings of his tennis shoes. "Stop it." He tells it moving his foot away but the kitten didn't listen for it attacked his foot again.
"Aster was a rescue. I'm sorry I felt the need to bring him home because no one else would give him a time of day and anyway she reminds me of you." Wally hears Dick say and he rolls his eyes as he asks "How so, because she's a ginger like me?"
"No. Well yes but no." Dick says getting up and scooped up the kitten in his arms and went on his knees in front of Wally to have the speedster look closer at the kitten.
"Her eye color is the exact shade of green that yours is. For the exception that she has shades of blue and not yellow. And-" Dick paused turning the erratic kitten to the side to show Wally the unusual mark on the kitten's coat.
"A lightening bolt?" He asks taking the struggling kitten from Dick's arms and inspected further. It was shaped exactly like how his insignia is on his uniform was he was Kid Flash. Her fur was mostly rusty orange but the marking was a light cream. It was highly unusual. Wally could feel Dick's stare on him as he sighs out and says, "But besides the point of that. We both have college to attend. You start in the fall. Plus we both have work. What about Aster hurting her? And you being Nightwing?"
"Yes a lightening bolt. And Aster home by his self most of the time. The worst thing he has done is drunk from the toilet. Aster wouldn't hurt her; his to lazy to do much of anything." Dick said as Wally felt his head drop against his knees, as he looked deeply at the kitten that had long given up with the struggles and just hung there, letting out a huge sigh. "And what about you not able to take care of her because you're Nightwing?" Wally asked still looking at the kitten, his temper easing up a bit.
"I know you get lonely when I'm not here. So Aster and this kitten will keep you company." Dick says as Wally felt the bird's fingers dance across his inner thighs.
"Stop being a pervert." Wally says lying the cat down on his lap and shoved the bird away playfully.
Suddenly an action has pulled Wally's action away from his lover who was recently giggling, and he looked down as the kitten let her paws up on his stomach, looking up at him, with her eyes big and behind wiggling slightly as she mewed softly to get held again.
Wally couldn't stop the awe that escaped his lips as he cradled the kitten within his arms like he would a baby. And began to rub his fingers between the kitten's ears, who was fully enjoying it as she begins to purr loudly and Wally looks up to his boyfriend a huge grin spreading across his face.
"Told you." Dick says as he crossed his arms together a smirk gracing his lips.
"Fine. We can keep her. But I get to name her." Wally informed thinking it over and squeezed the kitten a little.
"What?"
"You named Aster. When I wanted to name him Nelson. It's only fair." Wally answered giving the acrobat a pouting look.
"Fine oh holy Wally. Who wants everything to be fair. What's the name?"
Wally looks down a the kitten who was snuggling close to his chest as he thought then responded, "How about… Wally Junior?"
"You're such a dork. I am not calling a pet Wally junior. Anyway it's a girl" Wally hears Dick huff out.
"Oh alright fine. How about…" Wally looks around the loft for an ideal name to jump out at him. With no luck only when his eyes spot Dick's book collection does he come up with a perfect name. "Prim."
"Prim?" Dick asks and Wally sees the bird lift an eyebrow.
"Yeah Prim the main character's little sister in your favorite book." Wally says, pursing his lips together waiting for another 'no' from his boyfriend.
"I like it." Dick purrs out coming close to Wally and he receives a kiss on the lips. He feels the kitten jump out of his arms and hears her drop to the floor. No doubt going to play with the toy she abandoned. Which was no problem with him since he was going to play with his little bird.
Thank you for reading! Please review!
With Love,
