After the bank ordeal, Wally was no longer sure what to make of Dick and his threats... He said he was a bad guy..but he made sure the entire bank was clear before he blew it up...and then there was the flash drive Robin had gave him. He still did not have the nerve to tell the others about the flash drive. Something told him that Dick wanted this to stay between them. Yeah..the death threats against the team gave that away. Wally glanced around, a bit nervous about coming back. He did just speed off without permission or orders to do so... but he did save the day in the end... sort of.
"Wally!" M'gann was the first to enter his view, the martian rushing over. "Are you alright? We saw the bank explode and--"
"The idiot is here, he is fine." Artemis was next followed by Kaldur and Connor. "So, how is our favorite new psychopath doing?" She folded her arms.
"Art..come on..he is just--" Wally started.
"He just what Wally? Blew up a bank. People could have gotten hurt! I told you he was no good, but you wouldn't listen!" Artemis cut him off, her scowl worsening. "You really are stupid"
"Shut up!" Wally snapped at, unsure why he was once again getting so defensive when Artemis bad mouthed Dick. "He is a good person! I know he is! No one was in the bank when he blew it up, he did not even talk until everyone was out."
"Talk?" Connor repeated. "You talked with him?"
"Well yeah.." Wally hesitated.
"About what? My friend, we must know if it involves the team." Kaldur stepped forward. "Robin cannot be trusted, and he showed us today that he means business. He is no longer just a petty thief."
Wally paused, clenching the flash drive tighter in his hands. He needed to find out what was on it before he got the team involved. Dick might have strayed off the wrong path..but he entrusted this to him and it was something big...Dick said it was end of the world big. "He was trying to get me to team up with him again..that's all." Wally lied, well, it was the half truth. Dick did make comment of him leaving the team. "Uh..I have to go..I don't want to be here when Bats arrives. I'm tired and I kinda want to avoid being scolded." Before anyone could say anything, he sped off
Wally arrived home and when straight to his room and turned on the computer. It is about time he found out what all this mess is about. He hated lying to his friends, but then again, if it is as big as the other said, he might not have a choice in the matter. He plugged in the flash drive, watching the screen as the data began to load.
He waited..and waited...
Nothing happened.
"You have to be kidding me.." Wally groaned, hitting his head to the desk in defeat. He never considered that this was just one of Dick's games that he enjoyed so much. "I can't believe I was so worked up for--" The computer made a 'ding' sound, making wally lookup. A single folder appeared on the screen labeled 'For Wally'. Wally hesitantly hovered the mouse over the file, feeling uneasy once again. He clicked it and a single sentence popped up on the screen.
"Sorry that I can't leave a digital trail, meet me at the usual spot in Gotham
Yours,
~R"

Wally really must have lost his marbles. That was the only reason he could think of that possessed him to be standing on the roof of an abandoned building on the outskirts of Gotham City. "Man... Rob, you better show so help me.."
"So help you what?" A voice called out, a hint of amusement in the tone.
Wally looked up with a relieved smile when he saw the familiar figure of robin sitting on the edge of building like he was there the whole time. Really, how was the kid so stealthy? "Rob..What is this all about?"
"Straight to the point..no 'Hey Dick, nice weather tonight.' or 'How are you doing, Dick?'...You wound me." Rob patted the spot next to him, waiting for Wally to join him in his perched spot. "I always loved it up here..you could always see past all the gloom of gotham..and the lights look like stars." He hummed happily.
"Rob." Wally repeated, sitting next to Dick. "What.Is.This.About?"
Dick let out a low whistle. "Dude, I never heard you so serious before." He paused when he saw the glare the other was giving. "Fine fine... by the way,I am glad you did show up..even though we are enemies."
"We don't have to be.."
"Oh please, Wally look at us..we are two different people..cut from different cloth..at first I did not see it..but now it is so obvious." Dick ran his hand through his hair, brushing it away from his face. "Injustice league is teaming up again... and the plans do not look pretty, Walls."
"How do you know this?" Wally raised an eyebrow.
"Well, they were recruiting and--"
"You are part of the injustice league!?" Wally basically screeched.
"Whoa whoa whoa! Do not make it sound like such a bad thing..I mean..I am telling you the scoop from the inside am I not?" Dick held up his hands in defence. "I thought you would be happy to hear that I got you some inside information. They were watching at the bank, I had to make it realistic,,but I am not completely a bad guy.."
"But before you left..the first time..you threatened all of us!"
"What did you expect? I was pissed, Walls!" Dick retorted. "A basically childhood friend abandoned me for some people that insult his intelligence and undermine his talent."He shrugged a little. "But you gotta admit..I played the villain part like a pro...man, I really deserve an Oscar." He turned to face Wally again. " I plan on heading back to the injustice league...it is better if the others did not find out about this. I was not lying about hating them, but they do not need to get caught up in all of this. It is better that everyone really thinks I am the bad guy."
"Dick, why are you doing this? I don't understand? If you told the League about this I am sure--"
"I owe nothing to the league. The only reason I will be helping is because you are so set on staying there. I am doing it to protect you, no one else." Dick replied, voice cold. "I am not losing my only friend due to some 'noble cause' to protect some nobody. You heroes are always sacrificing yourselves, y'know that? I hate it when they do that."
"Do you realize you are doing the same thing?" Wally questioned. "You are putting yourself in danger--"
"For you. Not for some nobody." Dick corrected. "Selfish gain, Walls...Selfish gain."
"You say that."Wally grinned softly. "But I still see you becoming a hero..we are not so different!" He persisted. "Come back to the cave..come on, we could really use someone like you..I could really use someone like you..a good friend." he added.
Dick cackled a bit. "Remember when you used to fight me tooth and nail about me calling you my friend? I told you I would wear off on you."
Wally scoffed. "Don't get cocky." he paused when he saw the other begin to stand up. "Where are you going?"
"Back to the injustice league..I plan to keep my cover. Which brings us back to the problem at hand." Dick's eyes narrowed. "Do.Not.Tell.Anyone. I do not need my cover blown or we all will get it."
"Dick.."
"Wally, I'm serious. It is better this way..if your team thinks I am the bad guy, they certainly won't hold back when fighting--"
"Hey hold up! Fighting!? You did not say anything about fighting!"
"Yeah I did..remember the whole 'you will regret this' and 'i plan on killing you all' speeches? I am pretty sure that means fighting, Walls." Dick laughed a pit, grabbing a grappling gun from his belt. "Stay traught, alright? Try not to get in too much trouble, when I am not there to save your butt." He aimed the gun at the building across from them giving a salute before he shot it. "Later!" He jumped from the ledge and swung off, leaving the concerned speedster in his wake.
