Happy Harbor
It has been weeks since Wally had seen Robin, or now known by the name Dick. He had been busy with missions and there was just no time in the day to visit Gotham and track the other down. Wally hated to admit it, but he missed the easygoing Bird. Everyone at mount Justice was just as stressed as he was with the never ending missions they were doing. The one time Wally had gotten a break, he was called right back into to duty one hour into it. It did not help that the Justice League was still searching for Robin either. He lied right to his uncle's face about knowing anything about the other or running into him when he visited Central. To say that he felt guilty was an understatement. It did make him uneasy that the other had not had any activity in those weeks either. Usually He would do something small like leave a message on the League's mainframe with some sort of joke or witty comment, or steal some small piece of tech., that really would not cause any danger to the world..it would often be random and pointless. But no..it has been radio silence. Wally soon began to fear the worse as another week went and passed. He told himself the second he had a day off, he would go and search for Dick.
Wally walked down the streets of Happy Harbor, planning on getting a quick bite to eat before going back to the mountain. He adjusted his civvies before walking towards a small diner that usually never questioned his large intake of food. He grinned but the next thing he knew, his feet went out from under him and he was falling to the floor, he quickly caught himself, probably a little too quickly. He looked around to see if anyone saw him and his eyes instantly landed on a dark haired teen who had his foot out. Conclusion, this brat had just tripped im. "Dude! What the heck was that for?" He asked, ignoring the fact that the kid just saw him use his speed.
"Oh come on Walls. I could not let you just walk past me and ignore me. It hurts a guy's feelings." The boy grinned.
Wally froze. He knew that voice. It has been awhile, but he definitely recognized it. "No way.."
"Wow it looks like you've seen a ghost. Look traught, I am alive." The teen crackles a bit.
"Rob-- Dick?! What are you doing here?" Wally gawked. Why would he be so close to a place that wants him to be captured.
Dick pouted a bit. "You haven't been around lately. I thought you forgot about me." He shrugged "So I thought I would stop by–"
"Wally!" Another voice cut in and both of the teens turned to see a miss Martian in her civilian disguise."where were you we have a miss– oh.." She quickly stopped looking at Dick.
"Oh this must be a friend of yours" Dick grinned and held out his hand with a knowing smirk that made Wally tense.
"Yeah, this is Megan..." He spoke carefully. Surely he would not blow his own cover, right? He sure hoped so. He swallowed nervously, unable to look M'gann eye to eye. He didn't like lying to the team, but he did not think any of them would understand his predicament of befriending a supposed criminal.
M'gann frowned slightly, sensing the nervousness of her redheaded team mate. She glanced between them for a brief second trying to process. " Oh!" She gasped " Is this a date?"
"What?! No!" Wally's eyes widened quickly shaking his head desperately. " It's not like that at all we are just friends!"
Dick cackled slightly at that. "A few weeks ago you said we weren't friends. Why the change of heart?"
Wally glared at Dick. He was not helping the situation at all! " Don't make me punch you Dick." He looked back at a now severely confused M'gann "Seriously though. Just friends."
"Best friends." Dick added with a grin.
"Don't push your luck" Wally rolled his eyes but smiled when he saw that M'gann relaxed a little.
"So, do you live here?" She asked, trying to make small talk after the awkward silence was growing a little bit too uncomfortable.
"Nah, I live in Gotham. I just came to visit family– then I ran into Wally." Dick smirked " So why are you here? This is quite a way from Central." He grinned more when he saw both M'gann and Wally tense. He knew why they were here, but it still was fun to make them feel uneasy. Civilian identities always made things awkward for heroes when they are threatened to be revealed. However he knew every identity of the Justice League, part of the reason why they are after him.
"Uh.. I came to visit Megan here.. Wait you said that we had to be somewhere.." He grabbed hold of M'gann's arm and pulled "Sorry Dick we have to go. I will visit you in Gotham soon okay?" He needed to get M'gann out of there before she suspected anything. He kept walking away to the mountain and away from his secret friend.

"He seemed very friendly." M'gann smiled "Why did you not tell me you had a friend in Gotham?"
"It's bat's territory, it's hard to see him And with all these missions.." Wally shrugged as they entered the mountain. Well it was not a complete lie. The Batman was always strict on his territory, and questioned his arrivals whether he was a hero or civilian. And it was true about the missions, he barely got breaks to even TRY to visit.
"I liked him. He is very... Free spirited."
"You can say that again." He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. Dick tended to do whatever he wanted.
"Wow this place is impressive." A voice rung out and the two heroes quickly spun around to see Dick with folded arms, looking around the mountain.
"Dick?!" How did he even get in here?! Security should have– oh right..genius hacker.
"Oh don't get you knickers in a twist KF." Dick grinned. "You said I should come and chat. Well I'm here, so where is the tour?"
