Mount Justice
4:01 A.M.
Monday, September 3
“Dick! My pal! My amigo! My bestest friend! What is up?” Wally West, a red-haired, green-eyed, scrawny looking blur of a man, shouted with excitement. If you ask me, way too much excitement for 4 in the morning. But that’s the thing about Wally. No matter how tired you are or how much you don’t feel like yourself, he always had a way to make you smile and laugh, although it was usually by accident, considering after his chipper greetings, he didn’t pick his left foot up far enough on the stairs and tripped in a way that make me imagine all the pain that Wile E. Coyote would experience if he gain Roadrunner’s amazing speed.
So in other words, extremely fast, and excruciatingly painful. But that was all just a part of Wallace Rudolph West, son of Rudy and Mary West, nephew to Barry and Iris West-Allen, boyfriend of Artemis Crock, and the protector of Earth who goes by the code name: Kid Flash. His brain was always going fast, but sometimes his body would go twice as fast, making it impossible to keep still or in this case, not tripping.
I didn’t have the energy to respond yet, so I just nodded and headed straight for the kitchen in hopes that Zatanna was awake enough that she made her magical coffee, one that tasted like heaven in your mouth. And the gods must have been in a giving mood, because the sight of the full coffee pot, looked like it should have a halo around it.
While he was grabbing a simple black coffee cup from the cupboard, he heard Zatanna giggle, “If you’re HIS best friend, shouldn’t you know that he doesn’t function after pulling two all nighters in a row without a pot or two of coffee?”
I savored the warmth that engulfed my hands holding onto the mug, and breathed in the smell of the strongly brewed angel in a cup. After I finished the cup, my brain began to work again, allowing me to string together sentences, “How can you be this upbeat and cheery, Wally? It’s not normal.”
Wally just laughed, “Haven’t you figured out by now that I am not exactly normal. None of us are. And to answer your question as to why I am so upbeat so early in the morning, well the reason just walked in,” he finished and walked towards the figure appearing in the Zeta beam.
“Recognized: Artemis; B-07”
“Hey Baywatch, miss me?” Artemis Crock, blonde-haired, gray-eyed, muscle of a girl, teased as Wally picked her up and spun her around in the air using his speed. She just laughed and as he sat her back down on the floor, her arms wrapped around Wally’s neck as she leaned forward to kiss him, all the while, Dick and Zatanna looked away in fake disgust. The two were so happy that the blonde and the redhead were back together again and happy. If anyone truly deserved happiness it was Artemis, growing up with Sportmaster as a father.
“I always miss you, Babe,” Wally responded after the two of them decided to finally go up for air.
“Ugh, get a room you two. No one wants to see that this early in the morning,” Conner Kent groaned. Although Conner could pass as Clark Kent/Superman’s younger brother, their personalities were so different.
“You just wish that you could have what I have, man,” Wally retorted. “Also I wanted to be the first to tell you all the exciting news that also has me excited.” Wally waited for someone to ask what it was, but we all knew that if we didn’t say anything, he would tell us anyway, so I went to go and grab another cup of coffee.
“You know, you guys are no fun. Not one bit. Fine I’ll tell you. We are getting a new student!!!
note: ok so I've changed some things obviously. Currently, some of the changes include:
•Aging Dick up so that he is the same age as everyone else.
•Mount Justice is the secret location for the original YJL: Nightwing, formerly known as Robin; Artemis; Kid Flash; Tempest, formerly known as Aqualad; Miss Martian; Superboy; and Zatanna.
•M'Gann and Conner are not in a relationship. Sorry.
•we might see other sidekicks but we'll see.
•they all go to Gotham Academy.
•Wally is just as fast as Barry, if not faster.
