"I say we lock them in a closet. Parent Trap style. They don't get to come out till they get over themselves." Artemis said, squinting at nothing in particular. Her nose scrunched up as she relived their most recent, failed, mission. It was supposed to be a simple in and out mission. Survey the surroundings, get intel. Simple, easy mission. Except when two idiots make the mission complicated. She still wasn't quite sure what had happened but Kid Idiot and the Boy Blunder had blown their cover resulting in a firefight with goons. After they had gotten out the goons picked up and high tailed it out of there. Now they had no leads on who was trafficking meta human growth hormone. Her money was still on Bane though.

"That sounds kind of cruel." Megan said, looking at her in apprehension

"Cruel is having to suffer through their bickering all day." Superboy huffed, arms crossed over his broad chest. "What's their deal anyway?".

"I am not sure my friend." Aqualad who had remained quiet up until now decided to weigh in with his opinions. "They have been...tense, since before I met them. Speedy-er, Red Arrow was the glue that held them together. But with him gone…" He frowned.

"All in favor of the closet idea?" Artemis raised her hand, eyebrow quirked as she looked at the rest of her secret meeting group.

"I second." Superboy said.

"Um…"

"We are not locking them in a closet...yet." Aqualad let loose a long sigh. "I am sure the punishment being handed down to them from Batman and Flash are...adequate."

Artemis scoffed at that. "After how many missions they've bumbled and punishments have they gotten? Please. Im sure all Kid Flash gets is a stern talking to and Robin gets taken off patrol or something lame like that. Super heroes are notoriously terrible parents." She shoots a side glance to the boy of steel whose face had morphed into a scowl. "I'm telling you Aqualad, if you want something done about this you're going to have to do it yourself. Everytime they screw up, we all do."

"I agree…" Megan spoke up. "Something should be done…"

"Yes...I suppose so. Besides the...closet. What would you suggest?

"I don't see why I'm being punished." Dick pouted. He's never admit that he was, in fact pouting however.

"Stop pouting." Came the gruff voice from his head set. "You put your fellow team mates in danger and blew your cover. You're better than that. I know you are." Dick, currently sitting in front of the many monitors in the batcave, gave out a noise of frustration.

"Kid Flash!-"

"I don't care who instigated, Robin. You, however elevated the conflict to the physical. That is why your not patrolling for two weeks. You should be happy it's only that."

"Okay, okay, Fine. But why do I also have to watch you patrol? Isn't this Agent A's job?"

"Usually, but it just so happens that Agent A's been given two weeks off for some R&R." He can practically hear the smug grin on Bruce's face. Also the small snickering in his ear.

"Shut up, Jason."

"Stop pouting Golden Boy." He knew for sure there was a smirk on that smug little face.

"So not fair." Dick fell back into the large plush chair he had situated in front of the monitors and remained quiet for a minute. Observing Jason's lens camera as he soared through the Gotham night air. He was patrolling the lower east side by himself. A big step is he did say so himself.

His eyes shifted to Bruce's cam. He was following a lead on Joker, rummaging through an abandoned building near the docks. "Hey Batman."

There was a brief quiet before, "What is it Robin?".

"Can I still um...Tomorrows Valentines Day and me and Wally…" He stopped when Bruce stopped.

"I'll think about it." It came out a little harsh, even Jason noticed. There was a brief pause in his cameras movement.

"But…"

"Batman out." Bruce's frequency went dark as did his camera. He let out a long suffering sigh.

"Guess it's just you and me Little Wing."

"Sure, fine whatever. As long as you don't keep freakin sighing in my ear all night." Dick rolled his eyes as he watched Jason descend on a pair of muggers.

"Your form needs work Lil' Wing." Dick observed.

"Can it!"

February 13th, 2011 Central City

Wally sat across from his uncle at the kitchen table. Iris walked back and forth in the background preparing a large meal for the two speedsters. Usually Barry would be doing most of the work since his super speed came in handy prepping, and chopping and what-not but today. Today he was giving his nephew The Look. Brows pinched together, lop-sided frown, crossed arms and an over all irritated aura.

Barry isn't sure whats been going on with his nephew. He's been grounded more times in the last few weeks than all of last summer and fall combined. Which, wasn't a lot. Wally was a good kid. Mostly. He wasn't sure what was going on with the kid.

"So...what happened?"

"That little psycho attacked me!"

"Kid...I know Robin. The kids usually composed. Very slow to anger. You're telling me that Robin, Batman's sidekick just...attacked you?" Silence descended upon the kitchen again. Barry didn't take his eyes off Wally. The kid however wanted to look anywhere but the older speedster. His leg fidgeted, his eyes wandered and his fingers tapped on the wooden surface of the dining table.

To Barry the kid looked the the embodiment of guilty conscience.

"Okay, Okay! Fine. I...made fun of him. For being a...virgin."

"Wally…" Aunt Iris said from the stove, the scold in her voice already present.

"I know, I know. But I was just...poking fun. I didn't know it was a hot button topic. I really didn't know he was going to punch me!"

"Wally," Aunt Iris again, "It must have been something a little more than light hearted fun poking is he slugged you for it."

Wally began fidgeting again. "I um…". The redhead sighed. "I may have also said something about his boyfriend?" Wally offered as an explanation. Barry wasn't sure if he wanted to laugh or slam his head against the table. Oh all the...

"You're grounded." Wally harrumphed before getting out of the seat to head to his room. "That means no team, no patrolling and no Richard. Two weeks." Wally froze dead in his tracks. No team, sure he was expecting that. He needed time away from that little psycho anyway. No patrol? Yeah, okay. He's no stranger to that kind of this when he messed up. But this…

"No Richard? But..but tomorrow is our first Valentine day!" Wally bemoaned.

"You made your bed kid." Barry said cooly.

"Ugh! So not fair." Wally sped out of the kitchen and into his room. Barry flinched when he heard the door slam. He sighed.

"I don't know what to do with that kid." Iris gave him a sympathetic look.

::::

Wally huffed and puffed as he took his laptop out from under his bed, plopping down on his bed. Opening and waiting for the laptop to boot up he huffed again, feeling a small headache coming on. Skype opened automatically and he tried to call Richard immediately. It was declined. A red eyebrow arched.

"I can't use the cam right now, or talk for that matter. Can we chat? I'm kind of in trouble. Like, grounded. Won't go into detail but I don't think I can make it out there for V-day. I'm really sorry…"

Wally paused. Well, that was convenient.

"I'm grounded too, actually." He typed in the chat box quickly.

"Really? What happened?"

"Got in a fight at school. Some little douchebag went all psycho on me. So don't feel too bad about Valentines day. I'll make it up to you. Promise." Wally frowned when he remembered the expression on Robins face when he punched him. Embarrassed and angry. He had started to feel bad about what he said. He didn't mean to ruffle the kids feather that much.

"Hey Wally…?"

"Yeah? What's up?"

"Are you still a virgin?" Wally paused.

"No, why?" Wally felt his heart rate speed up slightly. What are the chances that this gets brought up twice in a day?

"Oh."

"Why, whats wrong?"

"Do you care that...I'm still a virgin?" He could practically feel the younger boys anxiety through the text.

"Of course not!" He sent quickly. "Look, Dick. When I was fourteen I went to my first party. Like with booze and girls and everything."

He typed quickly, trying to make sure there were no mistakes.

"I got totally wasted and this girl. She was just as wasted. A few years older than me, was coming onto me. Really strong."

Wally chewed his lip nervously.

"She dragged me into one of the empty rooms and we uh. Did it."

He paused for a second before continuing.

"The next morning I was naked, hung over and alone. She left before I woke up and I never saw her again. Don't even remember her name. Thats how I lost my virginity. I cant even remember most of it. So, who cares if you're still a virgin? Thats a good thing! It's something that shouldn't just be handed out easily. It's...special. And you should make sure that your first time is special and with someone just as special."

He stopped typing, looking at his message before hitting send. He knew that she needed to apologize to Robin.

"Thanks Wally. Some asshole was giving me a hard time about it a few days ago. I may have over reacted. I guess I should say sorry. It won't unground me though."

"Tell me about it."

"And Wally, thanks for sharing that with me."

"No prob Dickie, you're the only person who know h=that so...keep it to yourself."

"Your secrets safe with me :)"

Wally snorted at the emote. Who still used emotes? Dorks, thats who. He smiled fondly at the screen as he kept typing with his dork.

I know, I know. Its been like...more than a year since Ive updated…

There's a reason for that! Job, school, original project and mostly general laziness. Im going to try, TRY, and update more...regularly. More so that once a year anyway so I can not promise anything!
