(General POV)
"Recognized: Kid Flash, B03," the main computer stated transporting Wally to his team's base.
"I'm here everybody," Wally proclaimed loudly making everyone wince.
"You're late," Batman pointed out with narrowed eyes.
Grinning sheepishly, Wally rubbed the back of his head walking to stand beside his teammates.
"Sorry Bats I was…"
"Later," Batman interrupted, "we have a mission for you."
Wally just then noticed the presence of the two Green Lanterns standing beside Batman.
"GL1, GL2," Wally cried out ecstatically, "haven't seen you guys in forever."
GL1 (Hal Jordan) smirked at the teenage speedster amusedly.
"By forever you mean a couple months ago," he chuckled, "then yeah it's been a while kid."
"What brings the two of you here," Aqualad asked politely.
"This," GL2 (John Stewart) gestured to the box he was holding. Slowly opening the box he revealed it to be one of the most powerful weapons in the universe, a green lantern power ring.
It glowed with an intense light shining all over the room.
"Whoa," both Wally and Robin said in awe.
"This ring fell to earth a couple weeks ago," GL2 told them, "we checked with the Council and they told us they had nothing to do with this development. This can only mean that a new Green Lantern will be appearing on earth."
"Sweet," Wally grinned broadly.
"Yeah, so what does that have to do with us," Superboy asked a little rudely.
GL1 and GL2 looked at each other hesitantly.
"They want you and your team to protect and guard the ring," Batman told them.
"Us," Megan exclaimed in shock, "why us?"
"Until the bearer of the ring accepts his/her powers the ring must be kept safe," GL1 explained, "we would do it ourselves but there's been some big trouble Garon that we must attend to."
"So why don't you take it with you," Artemis asked rationally.
GL2 shook his head at her. "The ring must also be made available for the ring bearer at all times also. We are not allowed to deny someone there power just because were unable to give them to him/her."
"Great, so we're playing babysitter to a piece of jewelry," Superboy growled.
"Pretty much," GL1 grinned at him.
Superboy grunted and looked away in annoyance.
"Yeesh, is he always this cheery," GL1 whispered to Batman.
"We would be honored to guard such a powerful tool," Aqualad smiled at them kindly taking the box from GL2.
"Absolutely," Robin nodded in agreement, "but I thought there were only supposed to be a couple of you Green Lantern's per sector,"
"What sector is earth again," Wally asked them.
"Space Sector 2814," both the Green Lantern's said in unison.
"And yes, normally there is only a couple of us per sector, but I guess fate has other plans," GL2 shrugged.
"Thank Ion that's over," GL1 grinned, "now I can go and get ready for my date."
GL2 rolled his eyes at him. "Another one Hal? What happened to Terra?"
GL1 just smiled at him. "She got boring, no point in being in a relationship that isn't fun right?"
"You were with her for only two weeks," GL2 shook his head at him, "I cannot wait until you settle down and have kids it'll surely be interesting to see the change in your attitude."
"Kids," GL1 repeated in disgust, "don't even play with me like that. I can't even imagine having kids I have enough problems in my life."
GL2 just rolled his eyes at him again (he's just now noticing he tends to do that a lot with Hal).
"Let's go Casanova we have job to do," GL2 ordered flying out of the base. GL1 nodded following his instantly.
Wally waved them off. "Bye guys. We promise to good care of the ring!"
"So Wally, why we're you late this time," Robin smirked thinking he was going to make up some lame excuse.
Wally looked toward him in confusion before his eyes lit up remembrance. "Oh, a met a new friend!"
His team just blinked at him. Batman, seeing no point in staying any longer, left the base and went off to another mission.
Wally grinned in excitement. "His name is Darren and he just moved in the house a couple blocks from mine. He's a really cool guy and super nice to."
"Oh, so you met a new neighbor," Artemis said with clarification.
"No I met a new friend," Wally corrected her.
"You met a new neighbor," Artemis argued back calmly.
"No I met a new friend," Wally repeated in annoyance.
"Wally you can't call someone a friend after you just met them," Artemis shook her head at him.
"Yeah, dude you don't even know the guy," Robin reminded him.
Wally quickly interjected, "I do know something's about him. I know that he paints and that is shy and self-conscious."
The team just looked at him blankly.
"You need a little more than that to call someone a friend Wally," Robin told him mildly, "you don't even know if he's trust worthy yet."
At those words Wally deflated slightly. "I just want a normal friend," Wally admitted sadly.
You would think that Robin would be hurt by those words, with them being close friends and all, but he wasn't. He completely understood what Wally meant by normal friend.
In the profession they have chosen of crime fighting and world saving a big responsibility is bestowed upon them. With this responsibility comes many changes that they have to deal with, some are psychical while the majority are mental. Superheroes constantly have incredible and dangerous experiences that change how said hero sees life and how to live. These life changing events tend to alienate heroes from the people they are trying to protect. They become more than the average every day citizen that simply coasts through life. Because of this it is sometimes hard for them to function in society as normal people.
This is especially true for teenage superheroes. For them it always seems like there is a distance between them and normal teenagers. They never seemed to fit in with the crowd yet they don't tend to blend into the background either. They always seemed to be in the middle, alone.
Being a superhero is amazing, but both Wally and Robin have admitted to miss being normal boys and having normal friends. Having a normal friend means that you have someone you can relate to that isn't involved in the superhero business. It means that you have someone that you can relax with without having being reminded of what you secretly are.
"What do you mean by normal friend," Superboy asked sounding slightly hurt.
He and Wally may not be like brothers but Superboy did see him, Robin, and Aqualad as his closest friends. He felt as if the four of them, as Aqualad said, developed a bond.
Robin was quick to correct him. "He just means that he wants someone to hang with during and after school that's all."
Wally nodded. "It gets lonely having nobody to talk to at school, especially since I'm there for about eight hours a day, five days a week."
"What's his name again? I'll look him up," Robin grinned mischievously activating the computer on his wrist.
"No," Wally shook his head furiously, "no digging up dirt on my new friend. You haven't even met him yet."
"Aw," Robin pouted putting away his computer.
Wally grinned at them all. "Darren and I are going to be tight just you wait and see."
…
(The Next Day at North Central High)
Darren took in nervous a breath as he stared up at the building in front of him.
No matter how many times he does this he still can't get over his anxiety when starting a new school.
Letting out a big sigh he slowly started to walk into his new school.
"Hello," some girl greeted him popping out of nowhere.
Darren jumped in shock. In front of him was a very hyperactive looking girl. She had blue eyes and blonde hair that was in pigtails.
She giggled at his reaction. "I'm Taylor Jones the president of the sophomore class ."
Taylor held out her hand for him to shake. "Welcome to North Central High."
Shyly, he shook her hand. "Hi I'm…"
"Darren Hill," she nodded, "the school's secretary already gave me your name and told me to give you your schedule."
"Oh thank you," Darren said taking his schedule from her.
Taylor nodded. "Alright you ready?"
Darren looked at her in confusion. "For what?"
She giggled at him again. "Your tour silly, I'm…"
"Darren," a voice proclaimed loudly. Turning around they saw Wally approaching them with a grin on his face.
Wally wrapped an arm around his shoulders hugging him. "What's up buddy?"
"What do you want West," Taylor snapped at him.
Wally winced at her.
"Just came to show my new friend around the school," he told her nervously.
Taylor scoffed at him.
"Darren can I talk to you for a minute," without waiting she dragged him away from Wally.
"Look Hill you shouldn't talk to West," she told him sternly.
Darren raised an eyebrow at her. "Why?"
"Duh," she said as if it was obvious, "because he's a freak."
Darren was taken aback by those harsh words.
She looked back at Wally angrily. "All he does is brag about how special he is and yet has done nothing to prove it. Every time someone tries to talk of hangout with him he always takes off claiming he had something important to do. He's nothing but a stuck up little asshole that does nothing with his life. Nobody likes him and you if want to fit in you'll avoid him."
By the time she was done with her little speech Darren was staring at her wide eyed. He knew some people could be mean but this is a new level. I mean, labeling someone an outcast just because he has important things to do.
Looking behind him, Darren saw Wally staring at him in a sadden way. It almost broke his heart to see someone so energetic look so depressed.
"Now how about that tour," Taylor chirped suddenly perking up.
Darren smiled at her kindly. "Sure."
"Great so we'll…" she stopped as she notice him walking toward Wally.
"I'm ready for my tour," he told Wally.
Both of Wally's eyebrows rose at him. "But what about…"
"I'd take outcast over popular any day," Darren interjected with a smile.
Wally blinked at him before putting his grin back on and grabbing him by the shoulder again.
"Well then, let's move onward," Wally said dramatically pulling him to the main hallway.
They heard Taylor growl, "Fine be a loser for all I care," before she stomped away.
They completely ignored her.
"Let me see your schedule," Wally asked taking it from out of his hands.
Wally's his lit up. "Oh sweet, our first three classes are together."
"What are they," Darren asked looking over at his schedule.
"Science, Art, and Music," Wally looked at those subjects warily, "I suck at two of those subjects."
"Which ones," Darren asked.
Wally sighed, "Art and Music. I can barely draw stick figures and I hate music."
"I'm good at both of those subjects. I could help you if you want," Darren suggested.
"You will," Wally smiled at him.
Darren smiled back hesitantly. "Of course what are, um, friends for?"
Wally let out a contagious laugh. "I know we were going to be tight."
Darren let out a small laugh with him.
Maybe this friendship thing won't be so bad after all, Darren thought to himself.
