A/N: Thank you to everyone who followed and favorited, but a special thanks to everyone who reviewed! Your comments really give me the motivation and inspiration to write. This chapter was requested so, as promised, here it is! Also I know I said that Dick's teammates (Wally included) didn't know his identity, but there is an explanation for why Wally does. I hope you guys enjoy!

"I don't think I'll ever get used to this place," Will commented as they stalked through another long corridor in the Wayne mansion. Dick cackled and adjusted his backpack over his shoulder.

The first time Will had stepped foot in the mansion was awkward to say the least. Will, confused at the silence and curious about the amount of rumors he had heard, asked where all the servants and hot women were. Dick had frowned and told him Alfred was a friend, not a servant, and then proceeded to assure him all of the women could be found in Bruce's room. After chocking and nearly bursting into flames from his burning face, Will had squeaked:

"I was joking! Were you being serious?" Unfortunately for Will, Dick had only smirked and refused to comment further on the matter.

To make matters even worse, a couple minutes later the two had wandered into the sitting room only to find Bruce relaxing there with a cup of wine and a newspaper. To know the man before him was Batman made Will incredibly nervous, a feeling that was amplified when Dick suddenly put him on the spot. "Hey Bruce, I'm home. And I brought Will with me!"

Steely blue eyes rose slowly and Will wiped his sweaty palms on his jeans. When the man simply gave him an unnerving stare, Will stuttered, "Er, u-uh, good afternoon Mr. Wayne, uh, s-sir."

Thankfully Dick had mercy on him and dragged Will out of the room, away from the smirking man behind them. The rest of the day had gone on normally; the two had completed their homework, chatted, and even busted out a few of Dick's video games.

"I know right? That's exactly how I felt when I first got here." Dick's voice brought Will out of his musings and back to the present. The two continued to walk until they arrived at Dick's room, which was as spectacular as ever.

While the room was rather light in the decorating sense, the overall design was amazing. The bedroom was spacious; even with the large bed, there was still space for a large wardrobe, a desk for homework, and even a half circle of couches/chairs in front of the flat screen T.V. When Will had walked into the bathroom, it felt like he was walking into a miniature spa. Dick had said he was over exaggerating (which he was, in a sense), but the marble countertops, gigantic bathtub, and glass shower hardly convinced him otherwise.

What really caught his eyes, however, was the innocuous poster that hung above the headboard of Dick's bed. Will had studied it while the other teen was otherwise preoccupied and was shocked at how...somber he felt seeing 'The Flying Graysons.' It was different from listening to the story of Dick's past. To actually see something from his childhood made the tragedy all the more real. Will just didn't know how to explain it.

As usual, upon entering his friend's room, Will's eyes immediately drifted over to the poster above the bed. He didn't see Dick's eyes follow his gaze with a frown. "So," the younger teen began with a clap of his hands. Will started in surprise. "What do you want to do?"

Will shrugged halfheartedly, wanting nothing more than a cold root beer and a nap. Unfortunately, Dick seemed rather energetic today and refused to allow Will his desired sleep.

Don't mess with a hyper Robin, Will noted tiredly when he tried once again to fall asleep. He was rewarded with a stern glare and a rough push to his feet. "We can play hide-and-seek," Dick suggested childishly. "This places has tons of hiding places." Will briefly considered it (even though they were much too old for the game) before remembering who Dick's alter ego was.

"No way, man! That wouldn't be fair at all."

Dick merely smirked and gave a small shrug. "Well you weren't suggesting anything else."

"Why do we have to do anything at all? I'm tired," Will complained, ignoring Dick, who was rolling his eyes.

"Well I'm not," Dick huffed. "And Bruce hasn't planned patrol until much later tonight."

Will immediately grimaced at the mention of the Batman. All of their confrontations were awkward and tense, especially since the older man usually pinned Will with an unnerving glare. "I can't believe I didn't guess his identity before," he groaned, glaring when Dick shrugged.

"In your defense, Bruce didn't think you'd figure it out so soon. 'Cause of emotional trauma and all that." With that, the teen pulled out a wad of cash and grinned. Will looked at him in horror.

"You guys bet on it! I can't believe it!"

Dick tried to put on an innocent expression but he couldn't stop laughing. "Why not? Even Alfred-"

"Alfred bet to? You two corrupted him!"

Will would have never thought the caring, old butler would participate in that kind of thing. However, despite the circumstances, the older teen couldn't help but laugh along with his friend.

Sometime later, both Will and Dick were laying on the floor, stuffed with Alfred's amazing chocolate chip cookies. "Think you can eat anymore?" Dick asked, and the two glanced at the tray that still had several cookies on it. Will groaned and shook his head.

"I don't know how anyone can eat as much as Alfred tries to give us." Will turned and looked at Dick, who had a thoughtful look on his face.

"Well, I do know one person..."

Will raised an eyebrow. He had really meant it as a joke but Dick looked quite serious. "Oh, yea? Who?"

Dick turned to him and grinned, exclaiming, "KF, of course." Will didn't recognize the person the younger teen was referring to until he recalled the night he had found out Robin and Dick Grayson were one and the same. Dick had been talking to a 'KF' on the phone when he had returned with the thread and needle that was needed for the stitches.

"Who's this 'KF' guy anyways?"

"Kid Flash," Dick clarified and Will's eye widened slightly. "He's my teammate and is my best friend."

Will knew that Kid Flash was (obviously) the sidekick of the Flash. He had even seen a bit of the hero on the news, but not a lot; he was more interested in what was going on in his own city, Gotham. Will also knew that the hero was also on Dick's team, and therefore didn't know his identity. The thought of the team of young heroes brought up more questions that he had to ask.

"What's it like? Being on a superhero team, I mean."

"Hm. I've never really thought about it." Dick paused here and looked deep in his thoughts, so Will waited. "Batman says being on a team 'enhances your strengths and generates weaknesses.'"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm human, Batman's human. But people like Superman aren't, which means they can do things we can't. Make sense?"

Will thought it did, so he nodded. People with different skills could aid each other in different ways. But why would being on a team make someone weak? Strength in numbers, right? Dick continued speaking, so he would find out.

"But what happens if one of your teammates got captured? The villain can use them against you, and now you have a weakness."

Something cold settled in Will's stomach. Did Dick consider him one of his weaknesses? Dick basically just stated what happened to Will; he was kidnapped, Jacobs wanted to use him to get Robin's identity. But what if Dick hadn't interfered in time, and he had spilled Robin's identity? Will swallowed heavily, trying to force away the dryness in his throat, but failing. He clenched his fists tightly. He had to ask. Will had to ask if he was just some weak link in the chain of Robin's life that a villain was just waiting to pull at and break.

"What...What do you think?" Will was pleased his voice didn't betray how uneasy he was feeling.

"I think-"

Will tensed, clenching and unclenching his fists rapidly while waiting for Dick's answer.

"-Batman's just being too cautious. He doesn't want any "weaknesses" villains can use against him." Dick paused and assessed Will carefully before continuing. "Being on a team doesn't make you weak. It makes you stronger because you have people to fight for."

Will's body practically sagged in relief as soon as the words left his friend's mouth. He wasn't a weak link. The thought nearly made him whoop for joy but Will held it in, only releasing a grin. "Stop being so sentimental," Will teased to try and hide his rather obvious relief. The tension was immediately broken, but judging by the all-knowing stare Dick was giving him, he knew why Will asked the question in the first place.

A comfortable silence settled over the two of them as Dick nibbled on another cookie. "What's your team called anyways?" Will asked, not really recalling a name mentioned on the news. For some reason, Dick shoved a fist on his mouth to stifle a chuckle.

"What?"

"Well...we don't really have a name."

"What! What kind of superhero, crime fighting team doesn't have a name?"

"We're just called 'the Team.' It's kinda funny!" Dick began cackling again at Will's aghast expression. "It's not a big deal! The name just stuck."

Will grumbled something about 'coming up with a new team name' while waiting for the younger teen to stop laughing.

Meanwhile...

Kid Flash raced down a street in Central City, looking for anything that was amiss. There was nothing, which was not overall very strange as this was Central City and not a place like Gotham. Either way, Wally was bored.

And a bored speedster was never a good thing.

Wally skidded to a stop in a nearby alleyway, pulling out his phone and frowning when their wasn't a text from a certain bird. Usually around this time he would be hanging out with Dick, unless he was helping Batman with something. Wally bit his lip. It was a Saturday, so Dick would definitely be home, possibly in the Batcave but most likely in his room.

Lately, Dick had been somewhat distracted, if not distant. He was hardly at the Cave anymore, and though Wally didn't admit it to anyone, he missed his best friend.

Making up his mind, Wally tucked his phone away. He would go see Dick, but first his stomach needed to be filled. Grinning, Wally sped to his favorite diner, right up to the counter and promptly ordered six milkshakes, in three different flavors. He carried three milkshakes in each arm and-

"Wait! I wouldn't do tha-"

-sped away. He didn't comprehend the cashier's words before it was too late, and suddenly his face was being pelted by strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla flavored milkshakes. His sudden burst of speed had blown the tops of the cups and the delicious treat was splashed onto him.

And that was how he arrived at Wayne manor: wide-eyed, bewildered, and covered in a sticky mess.

It had happened suddenly. Will blinked, and suddenly there was another person in the room, covered in some sort of sticky substance.

"Rob! Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob!"

Will's head spun, his mind spinning as he tried to comprehend what exactly just happened. Someone just appeared in Dick's room! And now they are speaking to him really, really, quickly and I have no idea what he's saying!

"Youwouldneverguesswhatjusthappened-"

Will watched with wide eyes as the teen in front of him babbled about cashiers and milkshakes. At least, he thought that's what he heard. The other teen was speaking so quickly it was hard to tell.

"-and then I came here."

Will stole a glance at Dick and saw he was smiling fondly. Evidently he knows this person well.

Looking at the other boy more closely, under the milkshakes he was wearing a yellow suit with red goggles, gloves, and pants. On his chest was a red lighting bolt surrounded by a white circle. It was when Will saw this he knew who the teen was. Kid Flash, sidekick of the Flash, and Robin's teammate. Teammate, Will realized with a start. He remembered when Dick was arguing with Batman about none of his teammates knowing his identity. If this was the case, how could Kid Flash be here now?

It wasn't too long before Kid Flash noticed Will standing awkwardly to the side of the room, and Will was suddenly hit with the desire to make a good impression. This was Robin's teammate, a superhero! He watched as the costume-clad hero's smile diminished slightly but didn't completely disappear. Will saw a yellow blur and suddenly Kid Flash was in front of him shaking his hand so fast it was almost violent.

"Hiya! I'm Kid Flash nicetomeetyou!"

Will's mind spun again as he tried to grasp what the hero was saying. "Uh-hey. I'm Will-"

He didn't see Dick's panicked expression until it was too late.

"-Nelson."

The effect was immediate. Kid Flash dropped his hand as if it had burned him. His expression turned cold and when he spoke his voice was strained and bitter. Nothing like the care-free and cheerful way it was before. "Nelson, you said?"

Against his better judgement, Will nodded. The teen spun around and fixed Dick with a stare. "What the hell is he doing here?"

"We were just talking," Dick said calmly, not looking alarmed or at all surprised at the other hero's change in demeanor. Will hoped he could take Kid Flash in a fight because the red-head seemed ready for one.

"Does he...does he know?"

Know what? Dick, still looking calm, nodded. "Let me talk to him," Kid Flash said.

"Kid-," Dick started, looking exasperated, but interrupted himself with a sigh. "You'll survive," he called to Will before exiting the room. Will sputtered a moment in surprise but had no time to protest because suddenly there was a hand gripping his collar and shoving him against the wall.

"You hurt him. Why?"

Will froze. Dick? Did Kid Flash somehow know he bullied him? "I was angry," he confessed when the green eyes kept glaring at him. "And I took my anger out on him."

There was no way Will was about to start spilling his entire life story to a stranger. Even if he was a superhero. Thankfully, Kid Flash released the tight grip he had on his clothes. "If you ever hurt him again..." he trailed off but Will got the gist of it.

"I won't." And it was the truth. The other teen narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"Honestly, Kid, you need to get better at the whole "threatening" part of the job," drawled a familiar voice. Kid Flash jumped in surprise and yelped.

"Rob! Stop doing that! And I was threatening." The yellow-clad teen crossed his arms over his chest a huffed. Dick shook his head.

"You didn't even give him any pain to remember you by," he said, ignoring the indignant 'hey!' from Will. Kid Flash grumbled but his eyes eventually drifted back to Will again.

"How does he even know your identity in the first place?"

"It's a long story."

Kid flash glared but Dick gave him a look that said I'll-tell-you-later-stop-complaining. Suddenly, Will was reminded that Kid Flash knew who Dick's alter ego was, even though he was his teammate.

"Why does Kid Flash know your identity, then?"

Said person glared at him. "I thought you told Batman-"

"Yea," Dick interrupted, "but KF was my best friend before he was my teammate. So I basically told him everything." At this, Kid Flash looked particularly smug.

"Yup," Kid Flash said with a smirk. "Someone had to look after the baby bird. In fact, he's still a ba-"

Dick looked highly unamused, and only seconds later he had gripped Kid Flash's hand and was flipping him over his head and onto his back. "Oww," the hero groaned and Dick cackled in response. Will realized he made the mistake of chuckling when he was fixed with another glare from the groaning teen.

So much for a good first impression...

A/N: I hope you enjoyed this chapter and the protective side of Wally, even though it was rather short! If you have an idea/request for another chapter please let me know by either leaving a review or with a PM. In one of the next couple chapters I want Will to be helping Dick with something, but I don't know what yet. If you have an idea for that please let me know. Anyways, I hope to see you next chapter! :)
