So, Wally knows the brothers' identities and the brothers know the teams identities. How is this going to work? Also, what is Dick planning?

All will be revealed, eventually.

Also, sorry, this chapter is a bit all over the place. I wanted to cover a lot without dragging things out too much.

"You got a date tonight, right?" Damian asked Dick as the oldest walked down the stairs.

"Yeah, with Wally." Dick smiled, thinking about the red head.

"Aren't you afraid he is going to find out who you are?"

Dick paused, his hand on the door knob of the front door. "I'll handle that when we get there."

"Okay, I just don't want to see you get hurt."

Dick nodded, opening the door and walked outside to meet Alfred by the car. He got inside and told Alfred where he was meeting Wally. He knew he couldn't pick him up at the mountain without revealing too much and if he asked where he lived, it would get awkward, so they settled on meeting at the restaurant.

About twenty minutes later, Dick was stepping into the restaurant, texting Wally to find out where he was.

"Right here." Dick turned around to see the red head standing there with a slight blush on his cheeks. He gave a small wave. "Hi."

Dick grinned, pulling Wally in for a hug. "Hey, you ready? I have a reservation." They walked up to the host stand, hand in hand. "Hello, reservation for Wayne."

"Ah, yes, follow me." The host brought the two over to their table, leaving the menus before departing.

Wally and Dick sat down, smiling across the table at each other. "So, how did you like the party?"

"It was fun, I really enjoyed it. Thank you for inviting me." Wally picked up the menu, skimming through it.

"I'm glad you had fun. What are you thinking of getting?"

As the two of them continued with their date, back at Wayne Manor Jason was just finding out about his twin's date.

"What?! He's on a date with the speedster?" Jason groaned. "This isn't going to end well."

"Why not?" Damian asked, prickling slightly.

"Well, for one, Wally hates Dick's alter ego, so when- not if -he finds out, he is going to break Dick's heart." Jason sighed. "A sad Dick is not a Dick I want to be around."

"What if Wally accepts X?" Tim spoke up, entering the room.

Jason snorted. "The team made it pretty clear their views on assassins like us."

"I heard them talking last night through the mind link, they are beginning to sympathize with us."

Jason paused. "Yeah, well, they'll never sympathize with me, not if they knew what I did."

Tim put a hand on Jason's shoulder. "You were following orders."

"That's not how they're going to see it."

"Well, screw them. This is only temporary, right?" Tim and Jason exchanged a look at Damian's words. "Right?"

At the mountain, Artemis entered the lounge where the other three were hanging out. "Hey, is Wally on his date still?"

"Yeah, he said he should be back before midnight." Conner spoke up, half watching the movie that M'gann and Kaldur put on the television.

"Good for him, I hope he has fun." Artemis sat down next to M'gann. "What are we watching?"

"The Gentlemen. Its pretty good." Kaldur answered.

Artemis hummed, trying to get into the movie to distract herself as best she could. It wasn't working.

"Artemis? Are you okay?" M'gann asked after ten minutes, sensing her friend was a bit tense.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"You sure?"

Artemis sighed, dropping her head. "No...this time of year is hard. Its...tomorrow is the anniversary of when my mom was killed. And then three days after that is the day my dad died. I know he was an abusive, manipulative piece of garbage but he was still my dad. And my mom? I miss her so much."

It was quiet for a moment. M'gann put a hand on Artemis' shoulder. "I'm sorry, Artemis. Did they ever catch the killers?"

Artemis sniffled. "No. They chalked Sportmaster's up to hazard on the job and mom's was a robbery gone bad." She chuckled humorlessly. "If it wasn't for Ollie finding me on the streets of Gotham about two months later and recruiting me to the team, who knows what would've happened to me?"

The team shuddered to think about it. "Well, my friend, we are glad you are here." Kaldur smiled at Artemis. "Since we are sharing, my parents disowned me because someone let them know that I am bisexual and practicing Atlantean magic. I don't know for which one they disowned me or who told them, but now I am shunned from my home."

"Kaldur, I am so sorry."

"I am too."

The team looked at each other, the silence weighing down on them. They stood up, heading to the training room in a silent agreement to let off steam.

As soon as they entered the room, the zeta tubes announced the arrival of Hood, Stray, and Abyss. They ran off to get into costume, returning a few minutes later to greet the newer members of their team.

"What are you three doing here?" Artemis asked, narrowing her eyes.

"Relax, Batman said that we should spend some time with the lot of you. You know, do some activities together or something. Team bonding, he called it." Tim spoke up. "X couldn't join us because he...isn't feeling well."

The team exchanged a glance. "Kid Flash isn't here, he has a date."

"Oh? Good for him." Tim coughed. "So, what do you want to do?"

"Well, we were just about to spar, if you want to join in?" M'gann offered.

"Sure, we have nothing else to do right now." Damian nodded. "What are the parameters this time?"

"Er, powers and nonlethal weapons allowed?" Kaldur called out. "Pair yourselves up, we'll do elimination."

"Oh, we should do a training tournament!" Jason drawled out. "You know, create brackets and whatnot. What do you say?"

"That's not a bad idea. Let's do it."

So that's how Wally, hours later, walked in on Tim and Jason fighting, Damian sitting in the corner with his arms crossed while the rest of the team watched.

"What is happening here?" Wally asked, watching as Tim ducked under Jason's kick.

"Tournament. Last round, winner gets bragging rights." Artemis explained. "Stray and Hood have been fighting for half an hour and neither one is willing to forfeit."

"How was your date?" M'gann asked, floating over to the speedster.

Wally blushed, thankful for his super speed allowing him to be in costume before any of the three newer members noticed him. "It was fun. We went to dinner."

"Did you kiss?" Artemis asked, waggling her brow under her mask.

"No, not yet. He is a gentleman, Artemis." Wally blushed further. "He asked me on a second date. I said yes."

"Woo! Get it, Wally!"

"Oof!" Everyone turned to see Jason on his back, declaring Tim the winner. Jason stood up, shaking hands with Tim. "Good fight, Stray."

"Wish I could say the same to you."

Damian felt his phone buzz, pulling it out to see a text from Dick asking where they are. He responded, saying they would be home in a minute. "Well, this has been fun and all, but we need to get going. Brothers?"

Jason and Tim bid the team farewell, disappearing into the zeta tubes with Damian.

"Man, I'm tired. I'm going to head to bed. Good night." Wally walked away, ignoring the nagging feeling that he was forgetting to tell the team something, something important.
