Dick let out a sigh and smiled slightly at the sight of Cameron and Artemis together. Dick barely knew these two, but he was happy for them. It was obvious that the two of them really liked each other. In fact, Dick may have just met them both that night, but he had still known about their feelings towards each other. It had been more than obvious to him, though probably less than obvious to each other.

Either way, it really was a good thing that Cameron and Artemis had gotten together. After all, everybody deserved happiness. Even if some people didn't think they did.

Watching the two of them together though, Dick couldn't help but feel slightly jealous. Artemis had gotten back with her childhood friend, and that was exactly what Dick wanted. Sure, he knew that Wally, and the rest of his old teammates, were still alive, and that was honestly the best news that Dick had ever heard, but he wanted more.

He wanted them to know who he really was.

It was just...really hard to try to figure out how to tell them.

Actually, Dick was pretty sure that he just needed to figure out how to tell one of his old friends who he really was. Just before he and Artemis had ridden off Ray had told him "Don't expect me to tell Wally your little secret, Bat Brat. That's something you'll have to do yourself."

So, on the bright side, Dick didn't have to worry about convincing Roy of who he was. With any luck, the archer would tell the rest of their friends who he was. On the not so bright side though, Dick still had to be the one to talk to Wally.

Dick was both dreading and looking forward to that conversation.

"Hey, Dick, you doing okay over there?" Artemis' voice cut through. Dick blinked and shook his head.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just-" Dick let out a small, slightly nervous, laugh. "I was just thinking about something."

"Was it Wally?" Artemis smirked, her hands on her hips.

"Who's Wally?" Cameron raised an eyebrow. He must've found it strange that Artemis, who had been stuck in the same house practically all her life, suddenly met all these new people in one night.

"Another kid that knows Oliver." Dick said, which was his way of telling Cameron that Wally was involved with The Justice League too. Cameron's eyes widened.

"Seriously?" Cameron turned to Artemis. "How do you keep on running into these guys?"

"I honestly have no idea what you're talking about." Artemis admitted and Dick nodded in understanding. Right. Artemis wouldn't know anything about The Justice League.

"We'll explain everything to you later." Dick promised. "Just not here." It would be a very bad idea for them to talk about The Justice League while they were still in a place where many villains, including The Light, were.

"Or at least not now." Cameron added with a scowl. He glared out the window. "It's way too crowded in this house. Either of you have any idea when everybody will just leave already?"

"Probably when they find out what The Light's decision concerning you was." Dick pointed out. "I mean, that's what everybody came here for."

"Right." Cameron sighed and frowned. "I guess we should probably go find out what they decided on, huh?" It was clear that meeting with The Light was the last thing that Cameron wanted to do, but he knew that putting it off wouldn't do any good at all. Cameron probably wanted to just get this over with.

"Are you ready to face them?" Artemis asked, her expression full of concern. Cameron chuckled slightly.

"Not in the least bit." Cameron chuckled slightly. He looked at her and smirked. "Let's do this." Artemis smiled at him fondly and took his hand. She turned to Dick.

"You coming with us?" She asked. Dick opened his mouth to respond but stopped when out of the corner of his eye he thought he saw a streak flashing toward the small mountain just outside Star City. The same mountain where his old team's base was. Dick grinned slightly to himself.

It looked like Wally had returned from his run. Knowing Roy, he would probably just send Wally straight in this direction. It was time for the two of them to have their little chat.

"Nah, I think I'll stick around here for a bit." Dick said. "You two behave yourselves though." He said it in a teasing voice, but he was being at least half serious. Losing one's temper in front of The Light was not a very good idea, especially not at a time like this.

"Alright, come find us when you're done with whatever you're up to." Artemis said as she and Cameron left the room. Dick waited a few moments after they were gone before going to the window and opening it. Using his training he skillfully climbed from the window up to the roof where he could see the whole city beneath him.

Dick grinned slightly to himself. Yeah, he was anxious about what he would say to Wally, but he was also excited. He wanted Wally to know who he was, even if he had to deal with figuring out how he would go about revealing it.

It was just a few minutes later that he saw the streak again, leaving the mountain and coming in this direction. He tried to ignore the nervousness and anticipation that was building up in his chest. Dick knew that stressing out and thinking too deeply about this would just make everything worse. He just had to be natural and let what happens happen.

Dick stood up and hoped that Wally could see him and would just come straight up here rather than go inside. Villain gatherings didn't really take too kindly to intruders. Besides, Dick would really rather not have to go looking for Wally.

Fortunately it seemed that the speedster had seen him, because as he got closer to the building Wally showed no signs of slowing down. In fact, it seemed like he sped up. Dick had a fairly good idea of what Wally was going to try to do so he backed up a bit to give him some room, but made sure to not be too far away, in case Wally needed help.

Even though Dick had been expecting it, it was still surprising and thrilling to see Wally not even slow down in the least bit when he reached the walls of the house, running up them instead. Running up a vertical wall was a lot different than running across flat ground, and it took a lot of speed. The last time Dick had seen Wally he had been able to make it up about one story before losing momentum and beginning to fall.

Apparently Wally had gotten even better in their years apart because he made it past the first floor easily and only began losing his momentum and footing midway past the second floor. With a final burst of speed Wally was able to push himself up the rest of the way onto the roof. It certainly wasn't an effortless climb, but it didn't look like it had been all that difficult for the speedster either. It looked like Wally really had improved, which was quite impressive considering he would have had to teach himself these past three years.

"You must go pretty fast if you can run up the side of a building." Dick complimented. Wally flashed him a grin as he caught his breath.

"Well, I am the fastest boy alive." Wally bragged. "If you thought that was impressive though, you should just see me on a good day when I'm not holding back. I can almost scale a building twice this size." Dick could tell by Wally's tone of voice that he was exaggerating a bit, but it was still impressive.

"Seriously?" Dick grinned and raised an eyebrow. "Can you phase through walls yet?" Though he was almost positive that he knew the answer to that.

Wally frowned and looked at the ground, a flush of embarrassment coming to his cheeks. "No." He grumbled, obviously disappointed about it.

"Don't worry about it." Dick laughed and shoved Wally playfully. "I didn't think you had yet. I mean, I know it's been years, but the last time I know you tried you ended up getting a nosebleed." It was a memory that he still laughed about to this day.

"Yeah, I...wait." Wally's eyes widened and he looked at Dick with a look of shock and slight wariness. "How did you know about that?"

Dick's grin softened. He completely understood Wally's concern, considering that nobody else, not even his uncle Barry, knew about the one time he had tried, and failed, to phase through a wall. The only person that Wally had ever told had been him, Robin. So of course he would be confused by someone that he thought was almost a total stranger knowing something like that.

Dick sat down again and gestured for his friend to do the same. "Wally, I...I have something that I need to tell you."

Wally barely hesitated before sitting next to him. "Roy said something about you needing to talk to me."

"Yeah, he already knows." Dick laughed humorlessly. "I've been trying all night to figure out how to tell you, but I could never find the words."

"You don't seem like the type of person to get tongue tied." Wally said. Dick shook his head.

"I'm usually not." He sighed and looked at Wally.

"Well, whatever you have to say, just say it." Wally suggested. "I hope that whatever your secret is will somehow explain how you knew about the wall phasing thing. Wait a second-" Wally's eyes widened as a sudden idea came to mind. "Are you a meta-human too? Can you read minds or something? I have a friend that can do that." He said this last part really quickly, which caused Dick to chuckle slightly. He had almost forgotten that Wally spoke super fast sometimes when he was nervous or excited.

"No, I'm not a meta-human." Dick gave one last laugh before becoming serious again. "I know about the phasing thing because I know you. I've known you for a long time."

"So, today wasn't the first time we met?" Wally clarified. Dick nodded and Wally grinned. "I thought you looked kinda familiar. But, wait…" Wally's grin fell away again into a thoughtful frown. "Even if you do know me, the only person that knows about that is…"

"Robin?" Dick said quietly. Wally took in a short gasp of breath and there was just so much pain and confusion in his eyes that Dick felt his own breath catch in his throat. He was going about this all wrong and just making things worse. Dick decided to just make things easier for both of them and stop beating around the bush already. He was just going to come out and tell Wally who he was.

Except, he couldn't.

"Oh, god." Dick groaned and grabbed at his hair in frustration. It should be so easier. He just had to tell Wally "I'm Robin." Why was something so simple being so complicated? He could keep cool and calm in the face of danger, but he couldn't tell his best friend who he really was. How messed up was that? He didn't even know why he was holding back. "This shouldn't be so hard." His voice cracked slightly at the last word. Wally looked over at him in concern, but then snorted in laughter a bit.

"Look at us." Wally laughed, even though they both knew that there was nothing funny about this. "We're both getting so distraught over nothing."

Dick took in a deep breath and chuckled slightly too. "I guess we both need to get traught."

"Get traught?" Wally's eyes flashed with recognition, as well as complete and total disbelief. There was only one person he knew who ever said something like that. "...Robin?"

Dick tried to smirk, but it came off as more of a grimace. "Surprised?"

"But...how…" Wally stammered a bit as his mind tried to come to terms with Dick being Robin, who he had thought to be dead. Dick thought it might take a while to process, and longer still to convince Wally entirely that it was really him and not just a trick or a trap. What Dick hadn't expected though was what Wally did next.

The redheaded speedster used his powers to zoom straight into Dick, knocking them both over. For an insane second Dick was worried that Wally had attacked him or something. It took him a second to realize that his friend was actually embracing him, tightly.

"Wally, are you-" Dick began to say.

"I knew you weren't dead!" Wally exclaimed. "The others told me that I was crazy, but I couldn't stop thinking that you were still alive."

"Me either." Dick said as he returned Wally's embrace and held his friend tight. For a while the two of them were perfectly content just lying on the roof together. Eventually Wally pulled away, but only so he could look Dick in the eyes.

"Where have you been all this time?" Wally asked, this time it was his voice that cracked slightly with emotion. "What happened to you?"

"Those are the exact questions that I've been wondering about you guys." Dick laughed at the irony. "All of us thought that you guys were dead."

"All of us?" Wally asked quietly, his eyes filled with hope. "You mean-"

"The others are alive." Dick grinned. "The entire Justice League. We just let the whole world think that we were dead so that The Light wouldn't suspect anything." Dick paused for a moment and grew quiet. "We never guessed that you guys were doing the exact same thing."

"This is insane." Wally ran a hand through his hair. "Where have you guys been this whole time?" He asked again.

"In Gotham." Dick answered. "I mean, not everybody stays there all the time. Those who have secret identities that are still a secret just went back to their civilian lives, but for the others, they're kinda just chilling in Gotham. Like how you guys are all here in Star City?"

"Gotham?" Wally tilted his head slightly, a grin coming to his face. "What, are you guys all staying at The Batcave or something?" He meant to say it as a joke, but when he saw the smirk on Dick's face Wally realized that that was exactly what they were doing and he burst into laughter. Dick joined in the laughter too, because it was kinda funny.

"Wow, Gotham." Wally said with a shake of his head once he had calmed down. "Even if the villains thought that the league was still around, that would be the last place they would think to look. All that crime going on and no costumed heroes jumping out to stop it?"

"Gotham's not actually so bad anymore." Dick commented. "I mean, yeah, it's really bad, but the whole world is kinda like that right now."

"Yeah." Wally frowned, a distant look in his eyes, as if he knew all too well just how messed up the world was. The two of them fell into silence. Nothing more was said between them. They just sat quietly and looked out at the city beneath them. Some time later Dick noticed some people, villains, leaving the building. More and more people followed them, some more violently than others.

"Those guys don't look very happy." Wally pointed out as one guy who must've had powers of some sort punched at a nearby telephone pole so hard that he caused it to crash to the ground. "Something good must've happened."

"I bet they're not very happy with who The Light must have decided on to run the city." Dick stood up and offered a hand out to Wally. "Wanna go downstairs and find out for ourselves?" Dick could take a pretty good guess on what The Light had decided on, based on what everybody's reaction seemed to be. What he was curious about though was the reason behind that decision.

"Sure, why not?" Wally shrugged and took Dick's hand. Despite having been the one to have made the suggestion, Dick made them wait a few more minutes until they went downstairs. The less angry villains around for them to deal with, the better. Finally, after he was pretty sure that most of the people had left, Dick led Wally down the roof and back into the house by means of the study window.

Because the second floor seemed to be abandoned at the moment, the two teenagers made their way downstairs in hopes of finding Cameron or Artemis. Dick found it strange that Wally, who usually prefered to run ahead, was actually following him, instead of it being the other way around. Dick didn't know if this was because Wally saw him in a place of leadership somehow, or if he just wanted to stick by his side. Either way, Dick was grateful that Wally was staying close to him this time. The last thing Dick wanted was a repeat of what happened three years ago.

Sure, it wasn't likely that something was going to happen. But hey, anything was possible, and he didn't want to risk it.

Dick led the way into the main room, which looked a lot bigger now that it wasn't nearly as crowded. The only people that were actually in the room were Cameron, who looked relieved, Artemis, who looked extremely ticked off, and The Rogues who were talking to them. Well, at least, the adult Rogues were talking to Cameron. The younger Rogues seemed content with just sitting on the ground. Dick was amused to see that Trickster was trying, and failing, to get Pied Piper to play 'rock, paper, scissors' with him.

Dick began to head toward the others, but Wally pulled him back, looking like he didn't want to be seen or noticed at all.

"He, uh, maybe I should just wait outside?" Wally whispered so the others wouldn't hear.

"What's up?" Dick asked just as quietly. Right after he voiced the question the answer came to him. The Rogues were Flash's group of villains, so Wally would have regularly fought them years ago. Of course he would be hesitant about being in such close proximity to them now.

"Don't worry." Dick reassured his friend. "I'm sure they won't recognize you. They don't know your secret identity." Well, there was always the possibility that they might, but the chances of these Rogues knowing that Wally was Kid Flash was extremely…

"Uh, about that." Wally grimaced slightly. Dick's jaw dropped.

"They know your secret identity?" Dick hadn't been expecting that. "Which ones?" There was no way that every single one of The Rogues knew that Wally was...

"All of them?" Wally said hesitantly.

"All of them?" Dick forced himself to keep his whisper quiet so only Wally could hear him. "What did you and your uncle do? March up to your villains and just tell them who you really were?"

"Uh, not exactly?" Wally's tone suggested that that was almost exactly what they had done. Wally held up his hands and continued talking before Dick could berate him. "I can explain." Dick stayed quiet and crossed his arms, waiting. Wally thought for a minute before just saying. "We have a very different relationship."

"That's an understatement." Dick groaned. He took Wally's hand and began to drag him out of the room. Wally had always been naturally kind and trusting to everybody, and that was one thing that Dick really liked about him. But he planned on having words with Wally about trusting villains.

And, oh man, Bruce was going to be giving Wally and Barry a hard time about this. No doubt about that.

Just when the two of them thought they would get out of the room unnoticed, they were called out.

"Hey, Grayson, where're you going?" Both teenagers froze in their tracks. Dick turned around while Wally attempted to not so subtly hide his face.

"Hey, Piper." Dick greeted the teenage villain. He and Trickster were both looking at him and Wally with interest, though Pied Piper definitely seemed the more intrigued of the two.

"I've told you before, Grayson, the name's Hartley." The Rogue rolled his eyes. "Aren't you going to introduce us to your friend?"

So Hartley's interest had been in Wally. That...wasn't very good. "Him? He's just an old friend." Dick said, hoping that Hartley would drop it. Wally ducked his head, which just caused Hartley to smirk.

"He seems shy." Hartley stood up and walked closer to them, smiling kindly when Wally instinctively took a step back. "It's cute."

Oh. Hartley was interested in Wally in that kind of way. If Dick wasn't so worried about these guys possibly recognizing Wally, he would have laughed about the situation. It was pretty amusing how Wally's face went red at Hartley's words.

The Trickster, James Jesse Dick reminded himself, pouted. James glared at Wally, as if he had personally offended him. The angry look though quickly became one of confusion and curiosity, and Dick got the sudden feeling that they were in trouble.

James quickly got to his feet and ran over till he was literally face to face with Wally, their noses just inches apart. James just stood there, staring at Wally, studying him. The speedster didn't dare to move. He stood completely motionless, his eyes not leaving James'. After a minute James' eyes widened and he finally took a step back, giving Wally a little more space to breath.

James continued to just stare at Wally, though it was more in shock now. His mouth was open, but, for a while, no words came out. Finally James was able to bring himself to whisper two simple, seemingly meaningless words.

"...Baby Flasher?"

The room seemed to freeze. James had spoken quietly, but everybody had heard him and they were all looking in the teenager's direction. The Rogues all had different reactions to what James had said, though none of them were directed toward Wally. All of their attention was on their youngest team member.

Heat Wave and Captain Boomerang looked exasperated with him, as if James had done something like this before and they were beyond sick of it. Mirror Master also looked tired of this whole deal, though he seemed more concerned than angry. Golden Glider and Hartley both just looked at James pityingly. Captain Cold's expression was unreadable.

"James, we've talked about this." Hartley said as if he was speaking to a young child. He gently took James' arm to pull him aside, but James snatched his arm away from Hartley's grasp and stepped away from him.

"N-no!" James cried out and glared at Hartley. "It's him, Hart. This isn't like those other times. It's really him this time. Baby Flash is alive!"

"No, kid, he's not." Heat Wave growled from across the room. "Get over it already."

"Shut up!" James screamed and covered his ears with his hands so he wouldn't have to listen to anything else. His eyes were shut tight so he couldn't see anything either. James was shaking slightly, and looked just seconds away from completely losing it.

Wally frowned as he saw James break down. He looked at Dick apologetically and went to James' side. Wally put his hand on the distressed teenager's back in a supporting and comforting way. James didn't even react to the contact at all.

"James." Wally tried to get his attention. They all knew that James could hear him, but he kept his ears covered and pretended that he hadn't. "James, look at me." Wally said sternly, but not unkindly. Ever so reluctantly James opened his eyes to meet Wally's. The redhead smiled at him.

"There we go." Wally also spoke to James as if he were talking to a child, though he didn't sound nearly as patronizing as Hartley had. Wally's voice was just calm, gentle, and kind. "James, we've talked about how you can't just hide from the world like that and hope that your problems will just go away. Things don't work like that." Wally paused and tilted his head a bit. "And I'm pretty sure I've told you not to call me that. Multiple times."

"Sorry Wally." James apologized and looked at the ground in shame. A moment later his head snapped back up and he stared at Wally with wide eyes and a grin on his face. "Oh my gosh. Wally! I knew it was you! I knew that you were Baby Flash." James hugged a laughing Wally tightly. Everybody else in the room looked on in disbelief.

Dick groaned and put a hand to his head. What the heck was Wally thinking? He was literally announcing to his rogues that he was still alive. Why would he do that? Honestly, Dick was curious. Wally had said that he had had a different kind of relationship with his rogues, and if watching James' reaction was anything to judge by, Dick would totally believe it. And Wally, though reckless at times, wasn't a total idiot. He wouldn't reveal who he was to his villains unless he was absolutely sure they could be trusted.

So, for some reason, Wally felt like his villains were the trustworthy type. Dick honestly couldn't wait to see more. To see how all of the other rogues would react to what Wally had just revealed. So far they seemed frozen in shock, which was understandable, but if any of them made any move to harm Wally in any way, Dick would be right there to take them down.

"...Is that really you, Kid?" Hartley was the first to snap out of the shock. He approached Wally, who was still being hugged by James.

"Yeah, it's me." Wally grimaced as James' tight hug got even tighter. "Mind helping me out here?" It took a little work, but Hartley somehow succeeded in getting James to let go.

"I don't know." Heat Wave crossed his arms and glared at Wally. "It might be a trick."

"Chill, Mick." Captain Cold admonished his fire themed teammate. "We all know that if this was a trick, James would be the first to recognize it as such." He smirked at Wally. "Well well, West, it's been a while."

Wally smirked right back at him. "Way too long, Len." He agreed.

With their leader having accepted that Wally really was Kid Flash, the rest of The Rogues soon followed. Some of them (such as Heat Wave and Captain Boomerang.) still looked doubtful, but they seemed to at least be considering the possibility.

Soon all of The Rogues were surrounding Wally, not to attack him as somebody would expect, but to talk to him. Dick was completely taken aback by this. All of these guys, these villains, find out that an enemy of theirs who has been dead for the past three years is actually still alive, and they practically greet him with open arms. Talk with him as if they're all old friends or something.

Seriously, Wally was not kidding when he said that he and The Rogues had a different kind of relationship.

It was strange though. Dick could swear that he remembered multiple times when he had either heard of or even seen a battle between The Rogues and the speedsters. During their battles the villains had legitimately seemed like they had been trying to defeat Flash and Kid Flash, even kill them. At yet here they were, off the battlefield, acting like pals.

Was this normal for them?

By the way Wally was acting, Dick would guess it was.

"Hey, Kid, where've ya been hidin' all this time?" Captain Boomerang asked, partially because he was curious and partially because he was still suspicious.

"Around." Wally shrugged and didn't really answer his question. "Like you said, we've been in hiding. It's kinda what you do when everybody thinks you're dead, and you want to keep it that way."

James frowned at his words and, without any warning whatsoever, punches Wally in the face, catching them all off guard. The Rogues seem just as shocked at their youngest member's actions as Dick felt, though a couple of them looked rather amused about it.

"Ow," Wally complained and rubbed a hand over his sore jaw. "James, what was that for?"

James crosses his arms and glares at Wally. "You died without our permission, and that's against the rules." James half whined and half scolded.

"What?" Wally looked at him in disbelief. "You've got to be kidding me. It's not like I did it on purpose."

"You just said that you did." James pointed out. "You said that when you died, you decided to stay dead. That was on purpose."

"Not very considerate of you, Kid." Mirror Master added. "We're your villains, and yet you think that it's okay to let us think that some accident or outsider took you out? It's our job to kill you. Nobody else deserves that privilege."

"You too, Sam?" Wally looked at all of his enemies. "Guys, things got out of hand and I had to make a decision."

"Well, it was a stupid decision." James said. "Also, you're grounded."

The snickers that Dick had been trying so hard to hide this whole time came out in full force. This was just too good. Wally's villains were scolding him for getting 'killed' by somebody that wasn't one of them. It was insane, and pretty freaking funny. Also, in a way, he got where they were coming from. He too was upset that Wally had really been alive these past three years when Dick had thought him to be dead. Sure, it hadn't really been Wally's fault, but still.

"James, you can't ground me. We're the same age." Wally tried to reason with him. "You're not my dad or uncle or anything."

"I don't care." James waved off Wally's logic. As an afterthought he added. "Oh, and Flasher's grounded too."

"Now you're just being ridiculous." Wally realized that trying to reason with James just wasn't going to work, so he turned to Captain Cold. "Len, tell James that he's being nuts."

"Actually, I think that grounding the two of you sounds like a pretty good idea." Captain Cold smirked and the rest of The Rogues nodded their agreement. Wally sighed and turned to Dick with wide, pleading eyes, begging him to step in and do something to stop this. Dick had other plans though.

"Sorry, KF, but I'm kinda with them on this." Dick said, causing Wally to groan.

"Traitor." Wally mumbled. James hugged him again.

"We're only doing this because we love you." James told him. Wally rolled his eyes but smiled.

"Yeah, I know." He said.

"Alright, enough of that." Captain Cold dragged James away from Wally. "It's time we get going." He looked at Wally slyly. "Think you can handle not getting yourself killed, or are we going to have to keep a closer eye on you?"

"I'll watch him." Dick promised. Captain Cold stared him down with cold eyes that would intimidate most people away, but Dick stood firm. He was completely serious about keeping an eye on Wally. Not just because he didn't want his friend to get kidnapped by The Rogues, even if it would be just to keep him safe. But also because Dick wanted to make sure that Wally was alive and safe just as much as The Rogues did.

After staring each other down for a moment Captain Cold smirked and shrugged. "He's all yours, kid. You'd better not let anything happen to him." The threat was clear, but unneeded.

"I won't." Dick swore.

"Guys, this is not necessary. I'm not a kid." Wally protested, but he was ignored.

"We'll see you around. And you," Captain Cold turned back to Cameron, who had been watching the whole exchange in amusement. "Don't let The Light get to you, and don't let your girl get to them either."

"I won't." Cameron looked meaningfully at Artemis. She crossed her arms and huffed, obviously displeased about something.

"Good luck." Captain Cold said to all of them before he began leading his rogues out. As they left Dick turned to Wally.

"You sure it's a good idea to just let them walk away like this?" Dick asked. Yeah, it didn't seem like The Rogues were all that dangerous, but they were still Wally's enemies. It was really risky to just let them leave when they knew something so important. Even if they didn't use the information to cause any real harm, one of them might let it slip to somebody who would.

"Right." Wally agreed. "Hey, Len!" He shouted to get their attention. Captain Cold stopped at the door and looked back at him. "I'd appreciate it if, you know, you guys didn't tell anybody."

Captain Cold smirked. "Tell them what?" He asked, and, just like that, he was gone. Wally, looking pleased with himself, turned to Dick.

"See? Everything's taken care of. They'll keep quiet." Wally said.

"If you say so." Dick shook his head. "Are those guys always like that?"

"Pretty much." Cameron shrugged.

"Yeah." Wally said at the same time.

Dick shook his head again, wondering just how Wally had gotten himself stuck with a whole group of enemies that couldn't decide whether they wanted to kill him or baby him. Deciding that it would be best to just not worry about it, Dick turned to Cameron.

"Well, you look pleased with yourself. What did The Light decide?" He asked.

"That Star City's all mine." Cameron smirked. Artemis elbowed him harshly, making Cameron grimace and add. "Okay, it's basically all mine."

"That's great." Dick grinned. It really was good news. This had been precisely what The Justice League had been hoping for, except even better because it seemed that Cameron was considering actually joining them. A neutral party may be better than an enemy, but having an ally beats having a neutral party any day. "Are you going to have to work with anybody else?"

"Artemis, in a few years. Other than that, not really." Cameron said.

"Seriously?" Dick's eyes widened in disbelief. The Light rarely trusted just a single person with one of 'their' cities, and yet they basically just handed a large city like this one to a teenage. "Why would they do that?"

"For the same reason they picked Cam in the first place." Artemis growled. "Because they think he's weak and will be easy to manipulate and control. That's the only reason they're letting him do this."

Oh. So The Light had chosen Cameron because they believed that he would follow their every demand without question. That actually made a lot of sense. It also explained why Cameron was the only 'leader' of Star City, rather than having a partner. The Light probably feared that if Cameron had a partner, then they might try to take the city all for themselves.

As it was though, they didn't have anything to worry about. They believed that Cameron was too scared to defy them. The way The Light saw it, Cameron was the image of the leader of the city, but they were the ones ruling everything.

Cameron was just their pawn.

No wonder Artemis seemed so ticked off.

"Arty, I don't know what's you're getting so upset about." Cameron said.

"Seriously? Cam, they're just using you!" Artemis exclaimed. "You're a glorified member of their meta-human slave army." Yeah, he kinda was.

"Just as long as I don't have to wear that stupid collar, I'm cool with it." Cameron rubbed at his neck a bit and grimaced. "Besides, it doesn't really matter. I'm not really on their side, so why should I care what they think of me?"

Huh. Cameron was taking this whole 'joining The Justice League' thing in full stride. Maybe they should send Oliver out to be their main recruiter from now own, because whatever he had said to Cameron, it had apparently worked. Dick just hoped that the rest of the league would be cool with him joining.

Dick knew that some of them might have a problem with Cameron joining the league, either because he was too young (Superman) too male (Wonder Woman) or too 'evil' (practically everybody else.) Dick just hoped that anybody who had anything against Cameron joining the league would know better than to say it to his face. It would be stupid to turn away a potential ally. Especially if in doing so they pushed him into being just another enemy.

They had enough enemies as it was. They didn't need to make more.

Dick figured he should probably warn Cameron as to what to expect from the other heroes.

But that could wait until later. At the moment, Dick figured it was high time the league and the younger team reunited.

"So, you guys up for a trip to Gotham?" Dick asked.

Elsewhere, Lex Luthor smirked slyly as he looked at the blunt arrow in his hands, a plan already forming in his mind.

Did these so called heroes honestly think that he had believed in their demise so easily? Others may have been fooled by the simple charade, but Lex Luthor had not. He had always known that The Justice League was still out there. And now, he had the proof of their existence.

This arrow belonged to Green Arrow. There was no doubt about that.

Not only that, but it seemed as though the villains had a traitor in their midst as well.

That was just fine with Luthor. Let the heroes have this little victory. Let them believe that they had won the battle.

Because the war was far from over.

A/N: It's hard to believe, but this story is already over. It was so much fun to write it. Especially this last chapter, oh my gosh, did I enjoy writing this chapter. I have to blame The Rogues for that. I seriously love those guys, and I couldn't resist including them. While writing this chapter I realized that The Rogues kinda remind me of Doctor Doofenshmirtz. Every single one of them.
