They're older here. Yeah that's all I have to say..... stop reading this.... please.....

"Wally, pleeease!" Dick pleaded towards his boyfriend in the apartment of which they shared. The ginger was flipping through the few channels they had available on their old TV. They were in desperate need of a new one to be truthful.

"No, he's a spawn of the Devil! He's the Demon king!"

"Don't say that! He just needs to warm up to you."

Wally ignored the ebony as he found himself back at Channel 1 with nothing to watch. Though a few seconds in the TV cut off, and Wally frowned. It tended to do that, only adding to the list of reasons why a new television was necessary.

"We need a new TV. This one keeps going out..."

"And I'll consider it, if you do me this one favor."

"Why can't you do it?" The ginger complained turning his attention back to Dick.

"I have to go to work,"Dick pointed at the silver badge that was currently pinned on his police uniform,"Bruce is out with the League and Alfred went to London to visit a relative." A loud obnoxious groan was heard from Wally,"Please, for me?"

"What about Tim?"

"He hates Tim. They wouldn't last a minute together!"

"He was raised by the League of Assassins! Can't he handle himself?"

"Wally." Dicks voice turned stern.

A loud groan was heard as the other caved in,"Fine... Just for you, but if he doesn't listen, I kid you not, I will walk out of here and only return once you are back home."

Dick laughed and placed a cap on his head reading BPD,"Good, because he's outside right now."

"What?!"

---

"West, I am unable to fathom how you even managed to cook rather distasteful Macaroni and Cheese. It truly is not that difficult to boil pasta." Damian Wayne pushed his plate of Macaroni and Cheese away from him, no longer feeling hungry.

"No one said you had to eat it." The speedster was practically counting down the seconds until Dick would return. Two hours had already passed, but it would still be a few more hours till Dick would return.

"I do not understand why Grayson chooses to stay with you. When he told me of this, I was quite confused. You are not the most intelligent. You cannot cook. You-"

"Do you have an off button?"

The young boy glared,"I'm telling Grayson of your horrid manners."

"What are you, two? You shouldn't be talking, Mr. I Think I'm Better Than Everyone Else. Just go watch some TV or something."

Damian stood from the kitchen table, pushing in the wooden chair before he left,"I shall, seeing that you do not even have a good book or two. It is almost as if you are okay with your low IQ level." The current Robin picked up the remote, once in the living room, making a face once he saw the televisions condition,"I was unaware that your apartment is an antique shop."

With a click of a button, the small screen lit up.

"I'm so sorry that everyone doesn't have a rich dad like you."

"Are you insulting my father. If so-."

"No. Stop. J-just watch TV, please. Be quiet." Wally knew he was going to lose it any second now. He had only been with Damian for a total hour today, but that had been enough to drive him mad.

"As you wish." Damian actually obeyed as he began to flip through the channels, much like Wally had been doing earlier.

Once the news channel was found, the boy placed the remote down, listening to a woman as she began her report.

"Seriously, the news? Aren't kids your age watching Spongebob or the Disney Channel." The older male asked as he sat down next to Damian on the small sofa within the apartment living room.

"Aren't men your age responsible and can cook?"

The ginger rolled his eyes as he decided against replying. Just let the weird ninja kid be a weird ninja kid...

Instead the speedster decided to tune into the news report that was being given by a young blond woman."I am here in front of  the Bludhaven Police Department where a terrible accident has occurred."

Wally immediately tensed as the screen showed the once structurally sound police department blown to bits, with several firefighters attempting to put out many fires. There were also paramedics at the scene, helping police men who had been burned.

"There was a large bomb that went off merely a few minutes ago. The bombers identity is currently unknown to the police department."

"Isn't Grayson a police officer?" Damian asked quietly as he began to pick up on what just happened.

Wally ignored him as his hands began to tremble.

"I am sad to say that there was no one that was inside of the building at time that had survived. The only police officers that have been reported alive, though injured, were outside of the building. These people are Hank Hogan, Kate Riordan-" The screen turned pitched black.

"No!" Wally immediately lunged for the remote, frantically pressing the "on" button to no avail,"Shit!"

Damian lowered his head,"Perhaps Grayson was headed home and missed the bomb..."

Wally buried his head in his hands, shaking his head as a sign of negation towards Damian's earlier statement.

"You don't think...?"

Tears threatened to fall from the gingers eyes as he pulled his smartphone from his pocket, dialing Dicks number,"Come on.. pick up..." After a moment, Wally was left with the expected message to leave a voice mail.

"Answer your phone!" Tears began to fall as he threw his phone across the room.

"No... Grayson has to be alive... He.. He..." Damian grew silent as the idea of losing his older brother hit him hard. Grayson was the only one of the Batboys that he actually bonded with.

Wally stood up after a moment, his eyes red,"I'm gonna go to the site of the explosion... You can stay if you want."

"Of course not." Damian faltered before following the speedster. Guilt was eating at him suddenly,"West..."

".... Hm?"

"I'm sorry.... As much as I hate to admit it, Dick was really happy with you. You were perfect for him... but now that he's... I'm sorry for being arrogant. You probably want me to leave and I will do so if necessary. I should have let Dick know this, though now it is far too late. You weren't a waste of his time. Truthfully, you two were perfect for one another, I just despise the idea of someone taking about Dicks time from me." Tears escapes from the boy's eyes.

Without a thought, the older of the two wrapped Damian in a hug, the both of them mourning together.

They were like that for a long time before a new voice was heard,"Hey... I'm home- Oh... Are you two okay?" The two immediately separated from eachother as they stared at the one and only Dick Grayson.

"Dick? What the hell! The fire!" Wally practically jumped on the other in rejoice

"Oh.. you heard about that..?" Dicks tone dropped.

The two shared a longing kiss.

Damian was quick to interrupt,"How did you manage to survive?"

"... I was on my lunch break. After I heard about the fire, I was told that I could just go back home."

"Of course you were..." Damian murmured.

"I'm sorry I had you guys scared. I would have called, but I had left my phone at my desk. I'm just trying to get over what just happened. There were some great people in that building. They didn't deserve that..."

Wally's face was now filled with a large smile and Damian's was filled with confusion and a slight blush due to discovering that Dick was alive and well.

"But I see that you two had helped eachother."

"Hardly. West made the move first. I just accepted it because I figured you would want me to help him through his pain. I was honoring your death." Damian frowned and began to walk towards the front door. Wally smirked but stayed quiet.

"Where are you going?" The older ebony called out.

"Home."

"Uh, no I'm babysitting you."

"Buy some better food and I'll reconsider. Goodbye Grayson, West. Oh and Grayson... If you do something like that again, I will personally kill you."

Dick let out a sigh as the boy walked right out of the apartment room. Wally put an arm around him for support,"I'm glad you're alive.. I was really scared for a moment there."

"Don't worry, I won't be leaving you anytime soon." They shared another kiss, embracing eachother, this time without any interruptions.

This doesn't have that much Birdflash... but Wally and Damian's relationship definitely needed to be mentioned.
