Ch17

Third Person's POV

Mount Justice: November 7:20 EST

Trivia's looking through his phone while looking for a birthday present for Wally, since he's turning sixteen.

"Still struggling, Trivia?" Trivia startles before looking back and sees Artemis looking down.

Trivia sighs silently before opening this text to speech app on his phone and types "Wally is one special case. It's really hard to know what he wants" Trivia lunged with a annoyed pout.

Artemis chuckles "I can see that, just don't overworked yourself for it, I'm sure he would like whatever you wish to give him" she assures the shorter teammate.

Hearing that made Trivia feel better and smiles and types "Thanks, Artemis" he said.

Artemis smiles back "I'm glad I could helped" she responds before leaving the boy alone sitting on the couch.

Then a idea came in mind before getting up to leave the cave

Gotham City: November 11, 10:10 EST

Trivia changes his physique into his all brown hair and eyes and dressed in a simple white crop top with a jean jacket over it along with matching jeans and brown boots. And heads to the store and finds something that caught his eye and it really gives off Wally vibes from him Trivia skips over and looks at the yellow leather jacket and goes to buy it, the jacket was expensive but he's lucky enough to have enough to buy it, he use one of Robin's credit cards that he may he may not stolen from and replaced it with a coupon without the boy wonder noticing.

He decides to get Wally another present but this one he had to make it from scratch and he knows exactly what to do he had a hobby of nitting so he made something out of heart.

-time skip-

As Trivia's heading back to the cave with a bag with two presents only to be interrupted by a bank robbery which to Trivia's curiosity got the better of him and decides to check it out while undoing his disguise and enters the bank.

"Now everyone don't move and no one will come out harmed-ugh!" A robbery yelled only to be knocked out  by Neo.

A few robbers sees this and tried to aim their guns at the ice cream themed young hero and fire only for them realizing that they were shooting a fake due to Neo's illusion.

Later Neo takes down one of the mny robbers with ease while gracefully dodging their attempt to hit the teenager.

Then they all hear a shattering glass and turns out Harley Quinn enters the bank skipping and noticing Neo and gasps.

"You were fighting bank robbers?" She rest her baseball bat over her right shoulder "without me?" She began to fight and knock down some robber trying to assault her.

Neo and Harley Quinn with their flexibility and agility they've managed to defeat them all as the employees were amazed and in awe at the duo they thanked both Harley and Neo who waved them off and made their leave before the employees could offer a reward.

-scene change-

"And that's how I get here, Alfred informed me about the bank robbery and since Robin and Batman were busy doing other stuff, and I was the only one available at the time" Harley explain as she's driving on her motorcycle with Trivia sitting behind her.

"That makes sense, Robin's busy organizing Kid Flash's birthday party" A robotic voice speaks for Trivia.

The two of them stopped at the alleyway were the Zeta Tube is located

Harley tilts her head "you mean one of your teammates' birthday is today? That cool! What did you get for him?" She asks curiously.

Trivia smiles and pulls out the yellow leather jacket and a hand made Kid Flash plush.


"You made this?" Trivia nods proudly at Harley's question "this is so cute! I'm sure Flash Jr will love it" Harley then said sounding sure of herself.

Trivia smiles to himself before putting the presents back in the bag though he seemed a bit hesitant as he looks down the alleyway.

"Hey, just enjoy the rest of the party and I'm sure that he would love your presents, and if he doesn't, then he just have bad taste in presents in general" Trivia chuckles silently before looking down a bit sad "I see, you wish you could speak so that you can say happy birthday to him" Trivia nods before hugging his mentor who giggle and hugs the pink and brown hair boy "if you need anything, give me a text and I'll break his legs myself"

Trivia sweat drops giving her a nervous smile and waves before grabbing the present bag and goes to the Zeta Tube and Harley drives off continuing on her patrol.

Neo watches Harley revving off before he enters the Zeta Tube.

Trivia walks in the cave until he hears someone calling him "Trivia, you came just in time!" He sees Robin running up to him "Wally is going to be here any minute!"

Trivia types his phone "or second as we know how quick on his feet Wally is"

Robin nods agreeing with the shorter of the two "you can say that" he notices the present in Trivia's hand "you can put that with the rest" he points at a big mountain of presents behind the boy wonder making Trivia's face turn pale out of nervousness fearing that the other presents would outshine his.

Artemis takes Trivia by the hand as M'gann uses her telekinesis to move Trivia's present with the other present.

Trivia looks down in embarrassment which Artemis notices this "Hey" Trivia looks at the blonde "just because your present may look small compared to the other gifts doesn't mean that your gift isn't outshine by them" she said with reassurance as Zatanna hides notices Trivia's looks.

"Wally will love your gift just hopefully he doesn't forget to open it" the young Zatara assures as a small smile forms in Trivia's face and taps his phone screen and shows it to Zatanna "I really don't mind him not opening the present, I only hope he doesn't forget when he has to go home" Zatanna reads.

Artemis scoffs "I've known Wally long enough and I doubt he'll forget any present unless is a miniature but yours isn't that small" Artemis said but looks nervously of what would Trivia react to her words.

Instead Trivia gives Artemis a smile "thanks, Artemis your words really helped" those were the words he wishes to say if he can speak.

Recognize: Kid Flash B-0-3

Trivia tenses up scared that wally would not like his gift but Zatanna and Artemis hold both his hands for comfort.

Zeta Tube network now offline due to extreme atmospheric conditions

Trivia hears this and finds it confusing since Gotham wasn't snowing before he got here while in his train of thought he didnt notice robin turning off the lights.

"Woah, I just made it" he then hears Wally's voice "it'd be a tragedy to miss my own-" he said before getting cut off by light flashing on his face revealing the Team including Red Tornado and Flash standing there with a big banner that says Happy Birthday Wally.

"Surprise!" Robin, M'gann, Zatanna and Artemis all cheered.

Trivia was gonna join them but then remembers as he places a hand on his throat looking down with sadness but shakes his head since he doesn't have time to be sad, this is Wally's day and he doesn't want to ruin it with his sad and selfish desire to speak.

"W-What!? You shouldn't have..."

"Rigth, not like you've been hinting for day or anything" Robin said which Trivia rolling his eyes remembering those day like they were yesterday's news.

Wally then sees Trivia walking up to him with a party hat and jumps and puts it on the speedster's head before landing gracefully.

"Thanks, Trivia" Wally said which the Ice cream boy smiles at Wally.

"Happy Birthday, Wally!" Another phrase he wishes he could've say if he can speak.

"I make two cakes" M'gann tells Wally-who's on his knees facing two cakes as one of them is a two-layered.

"Awesome! What would you guys eat?" Wally asks.

"We'll just split the cupcakes" M'gann answers "make a wish"

"Way ahead of you" Wally said before blowing the candles which some of them applaud while other just stands with small smiles.

Trivia smiles and applauds before looking at the presents and looks at his with a warm smiles 'may not be a flashy as the others but I'm sure it'll be a good use for him' he thinks.

Wally looks at M'gann "you know, if I tell you my wish, it won't come true, but if you guess" he said which M'gann gives Wally a slice of cake "Nope, guess again..." he said before narrowing his eyes at a certain shorter male looking zoned out staring at the presents 'I wish I was brave enough to talk to Trivia without feeling nervous' he thinks which M'gann heard and giggles to herself

"Hey Trivia! Do that dance you been telling me about!" Trivia tenses up as he sees everyone looking at him.

'Oh shit! I've been focusing on getting a perfect present for wally that I forgot about that!' Trivia thought nervously.

Trivia then sees Wally who stares back at him with a tilted head as Zatanna and Artemis looks at him giving him a pair of thumbs up signaling that he'll do great. Trivia sighs before taking off his jacket and shoes and puts them on a corner of the cave and goes to position

The team startles a bit at the sudden music but their eyes were glued on the pink and brown hair boy who Through his facial expression made the dance more emotional and the fact that his parents weren't present emotionally before they've met their fate makes him more believable even Flash was amazed by the movements.

Wally out of all members of the team is the most amazed by this "wow" he mutters.

"Who would thought Trivia would be this good, sure Harley taught him how to do flips and turns but never like this" Dick comments not taking his eyes off Trivia.

Kaldur nods "I agreed...He's beyond amazing each day" he admits smiling at Trivia.

"When he's like this..." Dick and Kaldur looks at Conner who is as amazed as the other three teenagers "...Trivia's like a fairy" he admits.

Trivia does a few more moves before hitting the final number which leaves him sitting on the floor looking up.

Trivia hears nothing but silence he slowly looks forward and everyone was stunned which it nervous the shorter boy.

Before anyone could say anything Batman's voice is heard by everyone present "attention Team. Suit up. Polar Stealth. Mission briefing in five" he informs.

-scene change-

Trivia -now in all white- standing between Kaldur and Conner "where's Flash?" He hears Wally asking the Dark Knight -who looks at the team from a holographic screen-

"Flash and Red Tornado already had their own assignments" Batman explains.

Trivia looks down in doubt 'was my dance, bad?' Trivia questions himself but shakes the thought off him before looking back at Batman who explains the mission to the Team.

"A massive snow storm Has paralyzed north America from coast to coast. Satellite imagery has detected five flying Ice Fortresses, source unknown. Which seems to be responsible and must be stopped" he said.

"But can't the watch tower blow them out of the sky or something?" Kid Flash questions clearly annoyed that his birthday party had to be interrupted by a mission.

"What's a watch tower?" Zatanna questions looking confused.

Batman sighs as he remembers that the young Zatara is unaware of the Watchtower's existence "the League's orbiting headquarters is not weaponized with both Green Lanterns off world, I need all hands on deck" Batman then said.

"Does that what I think it means" Robin questions sounding excited, Trivia tilts his head looking confused as he sees Robin stepping up "the League and the team fighting side by side?" He asks.

"Woah really!?" Wally questions with shock but as excited as Robin

"Superboy, use the Supercycle to rendezvous with the Batplane at Ice Fortress 1. You'll drop off Robin, Aqualad and then continue on with Wolf to meet up with Black Canary, and Red Tornado at Ice Fortress 2. Miss Martian, Artemis, and Zatanna take the bioship and rendezvous with Green Arrow, and Martian Manhunter at Ice Fortress 3, other leagues will deal with four and five.

Trivia notices that Wally wasn't signed up with anyone and raises his hand gaining the Dark Knight's attention.

"Yes, Neo" he asks as he sees Neo pointing at Kid Flash which he nods "Kid Flash, a young girl is in desperate need of a heart transplant with all conventional air traffic grounded by the storm, you'll need to pick up the donor heart in boston and run the three thousand miles a cross country

"Whos is this girl!?" Wally questions.

"Does it matter?" Batman questions back.

Wally intimidated since he doesn't want to argue with his superior "no, I guess not" he said disappointed "bur can we Zeta-"

"Zeta Tubes are offline, Sorry" Robin apologizes.

"Alright then, regardless of lack of Zeta, I wouldn't forgive myself if I refuse" Wally then said "guess I won't be needing stealth" He then taps the symbol on his chests revealing him now back in red and yellow "Speedy delivery boy, at your service" Wally said trying to hide his disappointment.

Trivia goes to Wally and holds his hands giving him a comforted squeeze which made the speedster feel a little better.

"Thanks for cheering me up, Tri" Trivia looks surprised by the nickname KF gave him which made the muted boy smile in return before giving him a smiles that Wally can tell that Trivia's wishing luck.

"While all of you are off Neopolitan, there's one favor that I need you to do for me, the rest of you dismissed" Batman then said which everyone leaves except for Trivia who stayed behind.

Wally looks back at Trivia who looks at the speedster with a confident cheery expression as if his face is giving a encouraging speech to the speedster which made Wally chuckle and waves at Trivia.

"Good luck with your part of the mission" Wally said before leaving.

Trivia waves back as he sees his teammates -now out of sight- before looking back at the Holographic screen waiting for Batman's instructions.

"You already know what to do" Batman simply said before Neopolitan gives the dark knight a playful salute before Batman ends the transmission.

-scene change-

'Simply assisting the Team and the League when it's needed' Trivia thought disappointed that he couldn't  do much but glad that the Team made it out alive and Wally made it out of his mission in one piece as well.

Trivia goes to get ready to head off home after a long day of doing nothing but also having a feeling that he forgot something.

-meanwhile-

At Central City at Wally's house Wally looks at the presents that be got from his party but specially the one he got it from Trivia.

"Trivia's been staring at it for most of the time at the party, I wonder if he was worry that I wouldn't like it" he said to himself.

Wally pick the bag and opens it and flips it over as the jacket and plush fall out along with a note. Wally then picks up the note and reads it out loud "Is not much, but I hope it comes in handy for you, Happy Birthday Wally, Tri" Wally smiles before realizing when he sees the plush "is this, me..." he coos at the plush "aw~ it's so cute!" He then puts the yellow jacket on "this would look great with my hero costume" he states before laying his back on the bed hugging the plush before sniffing a odd aroma on the plush "Strawberry... Chocolate...Vanilla...these are the flavors of the Neapolitan ice cream... just like Trivia" he mutters before sniffing on the plush and his eyes widen with realization remembering that day when Trivia visited him to celebrate Jay the first Flash's birthday "Mom's right..." he sits up looking at the plush as the thought of Trivia smiling at him made the speedster smile "maybe I am in love with Trivia" he said.
