"Stop acting all macho, Flasher and calm down."

Captain Cold was the first to speak and the Team was surprised he had dared use such a condescending tone.

"Len, now's not the time for that." Flash barely restrained the growl in his voice, "Wally's been hurt badly and I'm not about to let the psychopath that did this go loose on the streets!"

"And he ain't!" Captain Boomerang shouted as he moved to stand beside his fellow Rogue, "But you have to stay here with Baby Flasher. And let us Rogues deal with trespassers on our city."

Flash's anger dissipated into momentary shock as the rest of the villains known as his Rogues Gallery made to stand beside the first two men, all of them with determined scowls on their faces.

"You're a hero, Flasher..." Heatwave nodded sagely, "It wouldn't seem right if you went ahead and beat the brains out of some no good."

And Weather Wizard finished for him, "But if a group of no goods like him were to do it... Well... The police report will be just another one added to our file."

Their words managed to not only surprise Flash, but also the rest of the heroes surrounding them. All of the kids on the Team had heard stories of the Rogues being good people because of Wally, but they had never imagined they would witness just how deep their friendship went. And they never- in a million years- would have thought they'd hear the Rogues actually protect the Flash's reputation by sullying their own even further.

"Did I just hear right, guys?" Raquel suddenly broke the silence, turning to the rest of his teammates, "Did the Rogues really just offer Flash to enact vigilante justice?"

Red Hood scoffed softly but nodded, "Don't act so surprised, kid. It was expected."

Raquel chanced one glance at the anti-hero but rolled her eyes. Of course he would have expected this. He was a bat.

"We're not about to let some second rate villains muscle their way into our home, Flash. And there's no way in hell we'd ever let them ever get their filthy paws on either of our heroes." Mirror Master explained as he turned to the kids, then winked at Flash. "Besides, we kind of owe the Flash."

Now the man's anger had completely dissipated and he had enough of a right to blush, so he did. But when Robin asked to try and find out just what Mirror Master meant with that, the Flash only shook his head and said he would go inside the room to check on Red Tornado and Wally.

Once the hero was inside the room, Red Hood turned to face the Rogues and nodded at them, "You're not going to get any heartfelt words from me, nor any promises that you'll ever be safe from any psychos if you ever set a single foot in Gotham again, but... I can at least say thank you for believing me when I told you about the danger the kids were in."

Captain Boomerang smirked at the man, "Didn't know you were the kind to gush, Hood."

Red Hood's eyes became slits and he growled, "Don't make me make you gush out blood, Boomerang." He threatened, which made the Aussie pale, even though the rest of the Rogues began to laugh.

"I'm beginning to not hate Gothamites so much." Heatwave chuckled at Boomerang's expense, but Mirror Master soon looked at his team with a frown.

"We're going after those douche bags, right?"

"Without a doubt." All the men answered, immediately sobering up.

"I'm going with." Red Hood growled, stepping forward. "I have a score to settle with him."

Under any other circumstance, the Rogues would have denied Red Hood. But Captain Cold nodded and motioned for the younger male to follow them.

"Hartley, James, you're staying here with the rest of the kids and heroes."

Immediately James began to protest, "But Len, we deserve-"

"You are staying here to give moral support to Baby Flasher once he wakes up and you will not argue with us about this." Cold growled in a voice that immediately shut the boy up.

Trickster then moved to hide slightly behind Raquel, who only smiled and patted his blonde hair, all the while Piper crossed his arms. "Please don't do anything stupid enough to get you locked up. You just got out."

Weather Wizard nodded at both Jr. Rogues, then turned to Cold. "Do we even know where Luthor is? Or the rest of his goon crew?"

The men then fell into a loose circle to begin thinking of where they might find those that had dared trespass on Central, and Red Hood proved yet again just why he deserved the title 'Rogue Bat'.

"Lex Corp has a small office building in Central. It's not big and it was recently built, seeing how they wanted to make a partnership with S.T.A.R. Labs, but it would be a safe bet to head there to find any trace of the bastards." He informed them, arms crossed and body tense.

He wanted to get back at Luthor. The insult he had suffered at the bald man's hands would not stand. He would get his revenge soon enough.

"Better lead than none." Boomerang noted, then looked at Cold. "What do you think?"

"Let's follow the Bat." Cold answered.

And with that Red Hood lead the group of villains outside of the Mountain, through the secret entrance he used to avoid getting caught by the League on his regular visits.

"Did we just allow the Rogues to take Red Hood on a mission of vengeance?" Zatanna voiced out the question all of the teens were thinking, which made Robin smile softly and nod over at her.

"I don't think it's anything new, Zee." He shrugged, then looked over at Raquel and Trickster, whom both seemed rather comfortable around one another.

Oh he would totally tell Wally all about this once he was good again.

And speaking of the speedster, Robin turned to the doorway to his room just in time to find that Flash had walked out with Red Tornado, but there was no Wally between them.

"Where are the Rogues?" Flash asked upon noticing the large group of people that weren't there anymore, and Superboy answered with his blunt tone.

"They went to hunt down the people that hurt Wally with the Red Hood."

Then M'gann smiled up at the blonde man, "May we see Wally now?"

Blinking almost dazedly, Flash nodded and opened the door for the teenagers, who all passed in glee to see their friend again.
