Oh dear, I have been having the worst writers block in all of history. I've been trying to write TRH chapter 11 for a while now, its almost done, thank god. So then I figured I should pay a bit more attention to updating this one to seeing as how I'm not as stumped on what to write for this.
Redbird the III: Oh my goodness! I totally forgot all about Roy! And for me to say he's one of my favorites! I am royally ashamed of my bad fanism towards him v.v
...Is it just me or does that make any sense?
Ricta: I know I know, but I just can't help myself with all the cliffhangers! When I'm reading a story and they leave it off with a cliffhanger I'm like "Rah! I'm going to eat someone I'm so angry!" But when I write one I'm like: "Mwhahahahahhaahaha! Suspense!" That is totally whacked up jack...
ChiKa-RoXy: Uh! Yush! . Protective Wally is the most adowablest thing since Mini-Bats! Haha that would be funny. But alas, gooey stuffs will have to await a gooey moment, because shit's about to hit the fan in this chapter.
Nightlover2: Oh my goodness, at first I thought your name was Nightwinglover2 and I had a major geek out/ fangirl squealing episode. Le sigh, Nightwing is prolly my favortie superhero in the history of ever.
Random obsession: I plan to :)
Dextra2: eh, who knows, he could have had one in the past.
Shadowtail43: Doctor hurry! She needs more and fast!
Coming right away nurse hotstuff!

I don't own YJ!
Enjoy or die...die of not being awesome .
Chapter ten
Wally found Robin sitting on his bed, his elbows propped on his knees and his head buried in his hands. His hair was wet, must have taken a shower. He only had on a pair of his pants, his shirt lay beside him on the bed. No use in wearing it when he was sure everyone already knew about the scars, half of him believed that Wally probably told them the story of it all when questioned about their origins.
He didn't lift his head as Wally sat down next to Robin, he picked up the discarded shirt and held it in his hands. The white cotton looked so clean, cleaner then anything he'd seen in years.
"They saw..." Robin suddenly said, it was low, and at first Wally wasn't sure if it was real at all.
"I didn't tell them."This caused a reaction from Robin. The boy sat up and looked at Wally a bit surprised.
"You...Didn't tell them?" Robin said almost disbelieving the statement. Wally shook his head and looked at his friend and gave him a small smile.
Robin was silent for a long moment. "You know what we have to do, don't you?" The raven haired teen asked.
Wally looked back down at the shirt in his hands. "Yeah, I know... Tonight?" Wally asked looking back over at Robin, who held out a hand, asking for his shirt.
"Yeah, once everyone's asleep. It'll be a couple of hours till then though. We should stay in here and only go out when we need to, I don't want everyone jumping on us asking us questions. Its best just to cut our ties at midnight and run..." Robin said as he stood and slipped on his white t-shirt. He reached for his zip up hoodie on the night stand and pulled it on as well. Though he left it unzipped.
"And never look back." Wally added. He could do that, run and never look back. He'd been doing it for years. He was good at running, and add that with Robin's knack for hiding and they were practically non-existent for a while. And when someone eventually found them, they'd run away all over again. It had always been like that. Only maybe now it would be a bit harder. No one could stay hidden from the Justice League for very long. But maybe if that hopped countries or something. But then- where would they get that kind of money?
Robin looked over and saw the defeated look on Wally's face, he had a pretty good guess the boy was thinking about how he had started running and had yet to stop. He rested his hand on the ginger's shoulder and once the other boy looked at him he gave him a small smile. "Don't worry about it Wally, I've got this under control. We'll get away from them, and they will never find us."
"Huh, usually when you say you've got this under control thats when we run to him. And when we run to him thats when we know that we don't have anything under control..." Wally said returning the small smile, though it was forced.
"I know you don't like him. I don't like him. But if we want to stay hidden for a long time, then he's the one to go to." Robin said as he sat back down next to Wally.
"Yeah I know. But every time we ask for help he gives us those awful tasks, I'm still can't get that little girls face out of my head Rob. I can't believe you used to work for him..."
"I didn't have a choice, it was either him or die on the street. I'm not to proud of what I did when I worked for him, and thats why I have to run, no matter the cost..."
The boys exchanged a look with each other. A look that said they knew they would both regret their decision latter on. But getting away from the questions was more important. If they saw Robin's scars then it wouldn't be long until they saw Wally's.
TILLEVERYTHINGBURNS
"They haven't come out of there in hours...I mean I think I saw wally darted out of there and to the bathroom a while ago, but thats besides the point..."Artemis said as she talked to the image of her mentor on the screen. The rest of Young Justice stood behind her.
"I think we over stepped a major line...We shouldn't have demanded that of Wally." Kaldur said slowly.
"He cares a lot for Robin, he got so angry. I didn't think anyone like him could just blow up like that."M'gann said with a guilty look at the floor. She should have stopped Artemis from yelling at Wally like that. But she didn't, no one did.
On the screen Green Arrow cocked an eyebrow, as did Flash who stood in the watch tower computer center wanting to see what exactly had gotten Wally all upset. "What do you mean? What did you demand him to do?" Flash asked as he stepped forward to lean over the back of GA's chair.
"We asked him about the scars..." Superboy said off handidly.
"Scars? What scars?"GA asked now.
"The scars I saw that nearly covered every inch of Robin. And half of those didn't look like he got them from running around saving people on the street. Some looked like cigarette burns. And last I checked villains didn't use their pack of smokes to rob a bank." Artemis said with narrowed eyes.
The league members looked a bit surprised to hear about this. Artemis recounted the entire story, of how she had accidentally seen Robin in the bathroom, and how Wally had acted towards getting questioned. By the end of it neither Legauer looked pleased or like they had an idea as to all this.
"Go to bed, it's late, we'll deal with this in the morning. I'll send someone over to check on Robin and KF in a while..." Green Arrow said just before the connection was cut.
Kaldur was the first to walk away, there was nothing else they could do except take the mentor's advice and get some sleep. He was soon followed by all the others.
BURNINGTHEIRLIES
Roy couldn't believe he was actually doing this. Ollie had asked him to go to the mountain and check on the new arrivals who had been acting a bit fishy. Roy didn't understand why he had to come in and check, he wasn't even part of the JLA! But he couldn't help his natural curiosity about the two, Robin and Kid Flash as he'd learned. If they were up to something and he stopped them, then surely the JLA would see that he wasn't a kid anymore.
He walked into the Mountain and leaned on the back of the couch. This was the only way out, unless they somehow managed to get Red Tornado open the hanger doors, or they could hold their breath long enough to swim out to the ocean. Which both he doubted. So if they wanted to get out they'd have to go through him. And if they did anything else he'd be able to hear it from here.
Red Arrow stood there for a long while, nothing really happening. As the clock ticked on to midnight he heard something. He turned his head at just the right moment to catch two shadows sneaking about the hallway and making their way around him.
"You can stop the sneaking act, its not working very well for you." He said casually, still leaning against the back of the couch, his arms crossed over his chest and his domino masked eyes in slits.
"Ha, I guess you caught us." Wally said with a nervous smile on his lips, he and Robin soon emerged from the shadows of the room and stood just a few steps from Red Arrow.
"Yeah I did. Why where you sneaking around in the first place? Sneaking out to report to your criminal employer? Working for the Injustice League? Spying on us?" Roy bombarded them with questions.
"Whoa, whoa, hold your horses cowboy." Wally said as he raised his hands up in defense.
"We aren't working for anyone. We just want to get the hell out of here and away from these people. They don't understand a damn thing and its getting really annoying. So we were just gonna leave, why stay in a place where everyone treats you like some kid who got beat by his mommy?" Robin growled as he stepped up closer to Roy, as if challenging him. Wally shook his head at the temperamental acrobat. One day that razor blade tongue of his was going to get him killed.
Roy was silent for a very long moment. They just wanted to leave...Because everyone treated them like kids. He could relate to that. Besides there was something strange about this kid. Robin, he'd heard about his bad mouth and biting habits. Roy just couldn't seem to not trust him, it was like he'd know the kid for his entire life. It was really strange, he felt like he knew him and Wally.
"Well? Are you gonna stand there all night or what?" Robin snapped again.
"No I'm not gonna stand here all night..."Robin and Wally both tensed a little, ready for a fight. "I'm going to go with you." This caught both off guard.
"What why?" "What if we don't want you to come with us?" Both boy's growled at him.
"Because I know exactly how you two feel. All my life every hero I've ever met has treated me like a dog, like a kid, and I'm sick of it! Even now when I've gone my own way they send me out on stupid tasks and when I mess up even once they act like I blew up the earth. Childs play and I'm sick of it. And if you don't want me then to bad. I can help you and you can help me."
Robin looked at Wally for a long moment, it was like they were having their own conversation. And oddly enough Roy could guess what they were thinking. They were wondering if he was telling the truth and not just some lacky for the JLA.
"I don't work for the Justice League, nor would I ever want to. You don't have anything to worry about with me, unless of course you step on my toes then I'll shoot you through the eye." Roy said with a deep growl.
Wally just laughed. "I think you and Rob are going to be great friends!" Wally said as he slung an arm over Robin's shoulders then Roy's.
"Tch, you trust people to easily." Robin and Roy grumbled together. Both boys glared at each other, but it was broken when Wally started laughing again and Robin and Roy cracked the smallest of smiles.
"So before we go out and take on the world whats your name?" Wally asked as the three made their way to the exit of the cave.
"Red Arrow, but you can call me Roy, Roy Harper."
"Dude, you totally just sounded like James Bond."
"Shut up Wally before you wake everyone in the mountain up."
"Sheesh Rob, could possibly be in a better mood?"
"Don't make me bite you."
"Roy save me!"
"Hell no, your on your own."
BURNINGMYDREAMS
The trio soon stood atop a warehouse in the warehouse district of Gotham. Robin looked down at a group of lowlifes hanging about. But soon enough they moved on.
"So who exactly are we meeting about getting us off the radar?"Roy asked as he peered down at the leaving group.
"Red Hood." Wally said as he stood off to the side messing with the sleeve on his jacket.
"And that is?" Roy asked again.
"Jason." Wally answered.
"Not his name! I want to know who he is." Roy emphasized.
This time Robin answered for him.
"My brother."
Phew, all done. Oh and another thing. Yes Jason is older then Dick in this one. I'll explain how they know each other in the next chapter. Seeing as how they couldn't have possibly met each other through Batman. And neither of them where ever adopted by Bruce so yeah...
