Robin is still seven so, Wally is ten.

When Wally West, also known as Kid Flash, the young speedster protégé of the hero Flash, was told he was going to get to meet Batman and his protégé Robin, he ran around Central city - twelve times. He only managed to make it twelve times before Flash found him and corralled him home. Anyway, his uncle, (the Flash!) was meeting with Batman (or scary Bats and other names he called him when he didn't think Wally was listening) to discuss villain, specifically Joker sightings near Central.

Wally hoped he never had to meet that creepy clown. Between all the stories he had heard from his uncle and the news stories on tv he had easily come to the conclusion that the Joker wasn't like the Central City Rogues (who liked to call Wally, Baby Flash and occasionally 'kidnapped' him so they could hang out) and he never wanted to deal with the psycho.

Anyway, back on to the topic at hand. Wally was standing next to Flash on top of a roof top waiting for the Dynamic Duo, it was getting late so he was thankful it was a Saturday night (it would have been horrible to go to school after this late a night) and the only light available was from the moon. They had been standing on the abandoned roof at the edge of town for half an hour already - Kid Flash had dragged his uncle out early. He had been afraid they would get distracted by something and end up late, plus he had been so excited that he'd started vibrating and had been struggling to calm down. But come on, this was Batman and Robin! The famed Dynamic Duo - The Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder themselves! He really didn't want to make a bad impression - they were his heroes (aside from Uncle Barry).

He kept glancing between his mentor at his side and the expanses of darkness ahead of him trying to catch a glimpse of the heroes. He was rewarded with two shadowy figures landing across the roof top from them, appearing as if from nowhere. Kid Flash could barely contain his excitement, having to physically stop his hands from twitching.

"Flash, Kid Flash." Batman grunted as he and his protégé prowled towards the Speedsters into the dim moonlight.

"Hey Bats, Robin." Flash greeted with a short wave before glancing back to his own protégé. "Why don't you two kids go play while we talk. Kid Flash you could give Robin a tour." He all but shoved the kids towards each other. "Of course, only if that's okay with you Batman." Flash quickly added at Batman's glare.

Robin looked up at Batman and they seemed to have a silent conversation, before Batman reluctantly nodded his head, and walked over to Flash moving out of hearing of the younger heroes so they could start discussing logistics.

Kid Flash looked at the other young hero - he seemed even smaller in person - he wore his normal brightly coloured uniform and domino mask to obscure his identity. "Hi, I'm Kid Flash." Wally mentally face palmed, how stupid did he sound? Of course Robin, The Boy Wonder would know who he was. God, what if Robin thought he was stupid? No, he wanted Robin to like him!

"Hi!" The boy answered grinning, looking him up and down before continuing. "Wally West, age 10, lives with your Uncle Barry Allen also known as the Flash. Attends Central City Middle School and is interested in Science. Got your powers after copying your uncle's accident. Nice to meet you."

Wally was sure his mouth had hit the floor, well roof top. How did-?. Oh, wait, was this what Uncle Barry had warned him about? Batman knew everything about everyone and had taught his skills to his sidekick.

"Em..." Brain engage, please! Come on Wally, say something smart!

"So are you going to give me a tour KF?"

"What?...Wait KF?"

"Yeah, short for Kid Flash and uncle Flash said you could give me a tour of Central, it's really different to Gotham apparently." Robin offered a grin, a tad teasing. Wally grinned back before they set off leaping across roof tops as he pointed out the sights. After about twenty minutes of running around they settled in a park near the city centre, sharing stories of fights and laughing at jokes.

"I have a feeling we're going to be best friends." Robin randomly said at the end of a story about a particularly pathetic villain in Gotham.

"Me too, you seem really nice." As soon as the words were out his mouth, Wally knew they were true. He really liked hanging out with Robin, the kid was nice and fun and just generally the hero he had hoped he would be. They continued to chat until Robin suddenly froze up, his hands freezing in the middle of demonstrating something.

"What is it?" KF whispered to his friend, knowing from his uncle's stories - if a bat freezes up then it is most likely bad and you should be prepared for trouble.

"Someone's here."

"Oh, come on, how did Baby Flash's friend sense us?" A voice whined from the shadows.

Wally would recognise that voice anywhere.

Rogues.

Great. Just great.

Seven figures walked out of the shadowy trees (what was it with dramatic entrances out of the dark today?). Captain Cold, Trickster, Captain Boomerang, Pied Piper, Mirror Master, Weather Wizard and Heatwave. Kid Flash ticked them off his mental checklist as they emerged - they were all here and they had no way to contact Batman or Flash (which probably hadn't been a great idea for them to wonder off with no way to contact anyone, he had a desperate hope that Robin had some way to contact the adults but he wasn't putting much chance on that).

"What do you want?" Wally asked. He suspected he already knew but was hoping he was wrong. It was a Saturday - the Rogues would always kidnap him every second Saturday (to Flash's annoyance) and he would spend the day with them. Trickster and Piper were the closest ones to him in terms of age which meant he spent most of his time with them during these days. They were late today - he had gotten so distracted by the idea of meeting Robin and Batman that he had forgotten about it. He loved spending time with them (although he would never admit it) but now was not the time. Flash only put up with it because he remained safe (and he couldn't stop them - no matter what he did if they wanted to find him they did. Aunt Iris was mainly entertained by the whole affair while uncle Barry spent time trying not to pull his hair out in frustration). Trickster and Piper were the closest ones to him in terms of age which meant he spent most of his time with them during these days.

"You know what day it is kid." Captain Cold, also known as Len, told him with a sigh. He was probably the most responsible member of the group, which wasn't hard.

"Yeah, but can't we do this another day? I'm supposed to be hanging out with Robin and if he gets hurt or left alone Batman will kill me!" Wally had heard stories about people that hurt Robin, and none of them ended well for the person who had hurt him. Said boy was now glaring at him. How did such a cute kid know the Bat glare? Wait, stupid question of course Batman had taught it to him.

"Oh, oh, oh! I have an idea! Why don't we kidnap him as well? Then all of us can hang out. He can join our family as Baby Bird. See he's even smaller than Baby Flash!" Trickster was jumping up and down, far too excited. He even picked up the Boy Wonder, hugging him tightly, much to the boy's protest (which went ignored).

Captain Cold seemed to mentally debate this for a while, then nodded his head. "Okay, we take both of them."

"Wait, don't I get a say in this?" Robin shouted as he was carried away from the park, still stuck in Trickster's arms. Kid Flash walked next to Piper, knowing he shouldn't resist. It always ended with him getting dragged along by a hyper Trickster.

When morning finally came, several hours later, the four boys (the two heroes and two youngest Rogues) were passed out on the couch in the Rogues not-so-secret hide out. They had spent hours playing video games and watching films - staying up far too late - before eventually giving into the pull of sleep. Robin had eventually stopped protesting and given in. He enjoyed himself (not that he would admit it), although he did hate the new nickname of Baby Bird - which was what all the rogues called him now.

Wally was the first to wake up and seeing the rising Sun quickly awoke the sleeping Bird and Rogues, knowing they had better get back to their mentors. He would never admit to panicking about the fact they had been missing so long - Flash would be okay once he explained what had happened (although he would be panicking until he found the pair of young heroes). Batman on the other hand would murder him if they didn't get back soon (he was pretty sure he was already towing the line seeing as they had been missing the whole night and, as the older hero and local hero, he figured he was probably in charge).

"Come visit again Baby Bird!" Trickster shouted as Kid Flash picked up Robin and ran back to the original roof top. Robin had complained about being picked up again (he wasn't that small!) but had given in when Kid Flash explained it was the fastest way back.

Both heroes were waiting on the original rooftop, Kid Flash winced noticing how angry the famed Dark Knight looked - and maybe a touch worried (he was less surprised by the actual emission but more with it being noticeable on his face) Flash stood at his side, leg bouncing but looking more amused than anything, he had initially panicked before realising what day it was (three hours after realising the kids should have been back and after speeding around the city checking everywhere six times) and calling Captain Cold who had told him where their charges were.

"Come on Robin, we're going home." Batman said taking his protege's hand as the pair walked back to their respective heroes. Soon the Dynamic Duo had disappeared again, heading back to their home city (hours later than they had intended too), leaving both Speedsters alone on the roof.

"Can Robin visit again?" Flash simply laughed before nodding, he was glad the kids got on (not that he had expected any less, but you never know). They sped back home, moving through the city as people started moving around getting ready for the day.

And visit again was what Robin did. Soon both boy's were as close as brothers and Robin even took KF to meet Speedy, creating the troublesome trio. Their mentors did occasionally regret introducing the three boys as they had a way of always finding trouble. The boys were always there for each other, both as heroes or as their civilian selves. After a few meetings, Robin told Kid Flash his identity and his story, making the boy's even closer before.

And that is how the best friends met and how Robin joined the 'I've been kidnapped by the Rogues club'. To Batman's horror and Flash's amusement, Robin often ended up kidnapped alongside Kid Flash to play with the Rogues when they were together in Central City.
