Chapter 1

Batman stopped, and hurried into one of his not-so-secret underground hideouts. He set down the eight-year-old boy in his arms.

"Sorry, Dick." He said, "I can't carry you further, but there are supplies in here for you. Find the Flash's nephew, Wally, and the Arrow's ward, Roy. They have an alter ego too, and will probably be in them, alright?" The small boy nodded, looking scared. "Listen, you are to go by Robin, not Dick, understand?"

"Why Bruce?" Dick asked, looking at his adopted father with wide eyes.

"It's on the off chance they're in the league with the White Witch." Bruce said, "Or are being mind controled."

"Ok, Bruce." Dick said, nodding sincerely. "What about Flash and Green Arrow? What about them?"

"Barry Allen, and Oliver Queen." Bruce said, "Valuable allies, but not part of your prophecy, if we read it right. It mentioned three boys of the same age meeting. Not two adults and a boy meeting."

"The White Witch has almost got 'em, hasn't she?" Dick asked, and Bruce nodded. "And she's after you too."

"Yes, Dick." Bruce said. "She is. Right now she doesn't know about you, though. You're our ace in the hole, so to speak. Right now she doesn't know about Kid Flash - Wally West - or Speedy - Roy Harper, so you can't leave any trace you exist, alright, Robin?"

"Yes, Batman." Dick said. "Where do I hide?" Batman handed the boy a duffel bag, and lifted him to the air vent before grabbing the other bag on the ground.

"There's a gap to your left higher up." Bruce informed the boy. "Hide there. I'm going to try to lead them away. Take care, Dick."

"You too, Bruce." Dick said to his fleeing father, before following his instructions.

Barry sped into one of Bruce's cellars (at least, that's what he thought they were called), and looked at the small boy behind him.

"You keep up pretty well." He said.

"Probably shoulda let you carry me." Wally mumbled. "They'll know somethings up when they lose my footprints."

"Actually, in case you haven't noticed, you've been stepping in my footsteps." Barry pointed out. "Now, listen. Remember Batman?" Wally nodded. "He has a son, named Robin, understand?"

"The Bird?" Wally asked, excitedly. Barry nodded.

"Now listen, he's probably going to call you 'Kid Flash' like we agreed, okay?" Barry asked. "Then the Arrow has a son, Roy. Roy goes by Speedy, alright?"

"Speedy's the Archer?" Wally asked, and, once again Barry nodded. "Ok, I think I got it. What now?"

"Now you hide." Barry moved a tapestry on the wall out of the way, and opened a hidden door, and pulled out one of the two duffel bags. "You're the future, Wally. We can't risk losing you to the White Witch. If you could come, I'd let you. Also, in the bag, there's a piece of paper, telling you how to get to Batman's spot where he hid Robin, and where the Arrow hid Speedy, alright?"

"Alright." Wally said, and he hugged his uncle. "Please be safe."

"I'll try, kiddo." Barry said, regret hidden by his mask. "I promise I'll try." The two hugged, and they heard the sounds of the White Witch's wolves. Barry pushed Wally into the hidden compartment. "Don't come out, Wally. Not until you're completely sure they're gone, do you understand?"

"Yes, Uncle Barry." Wally said, trying to hide his tears as his uncle shut him in the small dark (but hidden) room. He heard his uncle running around a bit, before almost complete silence.

Green Arrow stopped leaping from tree to tree, and dropped to the ground, signaling to Roy to stay off the ground. Roy nodded, and his father quickly entered a cellar looking place, and came out with two bags. After climbing the tree, he handed one to Roy.

"Roy, no matter what happens to me, promise you'll stay hidden here, out of sight." Oliver said.

"Why?" The redhead asked.

"Because of the prophecy!" Oliver said.

"You said there was no 'Bird'." Roy said.

"That was before!" Oliver said, "Before I found out the Bat had a kid. Listen, Batman has a son, he'll be going by Robin. We think HE'S the Bird the prophecy mentions. And Flash has a nephew, Wally. He'll be going by Kid Flash, and he's the Speedster the prophecy mentions."

"And you think I'm the Archer." Roy said. "That's it, isn't it?"

"Roy, there's not other archer in the land anywhere near this kids age." Oliver said. "Roy, if you're not the Archer, then Wally's not the Speedster, and Robin's not the Bird. Someone needs to carry on the Resistance, and Barry, Batman, and I have been compromised."

"So I'm just a means to an end." Roy said.

"Roy!" Oliver said, "You know that's not true. Listen, they're on my trail, make sure they don't find you. Follow the instructions on the paper to find Kid Flash and Robin." They heard a wolf howl somewhere somewhat close. "Listen, Roy. I've got to go. Make sure the Resistance survives." Roy reluctantly nodded, and Oliver lept from tree to tree as Roy climbed higher.

Roy watched the wolves on the ground paused, sniffing the scent on the ground before they took off with their noses in the air. He grabbed the duffel bag on his shoulder, and pulled out a piece of paper, and shakingly read Ollie's handwriting telling him where to find Robin, explaining that although he knows Roy would find Wally first easier, Robin's younger, smaller, and weaker, and needs Roy's protection more.
