Coldhearted part 1

Central City; November 11th, 07:15 CST

An alarm blares.

Central City; November 11th, 07:16 CST

Wally, sleeping on his stomach, doesn't even raise his head as his hand searching for the alarm button.

As his hand hits the button, half the number is covered by dirty laundry. He groans, then rolls over letting out a loud yawn. His eyes snap open. "Hey! Sweet 16!" he rockets into a sitting position, dancing a little as he sings in his head. That's right, it's my birthday. Arm's all better. Got my cast off too. He looks out his window, smiling brightly. And it's snowing? Cool! This is gonna be a good day.

Downstairs, his mom makes a large stack of French Toast before bringing it to the table and placing it in front of Wally. (Pancakes? Toast? Someone chime in here.)

"Happy birthday, Wally." she says.

"Oh, my favorite breakfast!" he cheers. "Heaping piles of everything!" there are large bowls of sausages, deviled eggs, and hashbrowns as well as plates of bacon and waffles and a large container of Orange Juice. Along with a metal container of Syrup. "Thanks, Mom."

Wally reaches out with his fork grabbing a sausage and a French Toast slice and digging in.

Rudy chuckles. "You know, if you ever come up for air, I can take you to the DMV to get your driver's license after school. This weather will be a good proving ground." then sets down his newspaper.

Wally hums, grabbing an egg with his fork. "Not really in a big rush to drive, Dad. 'Cause, you know, I'm me." Wally says nonchalantly.

Rudy gives a short single laugh. "You certainly are."

"Plus, the Team's throwing me a big surprise party this afternoon at the Cave." Wally informs, then takes a large drink of orange juice as he grabs another slice of toast. Then pouring syrup on the toast.

"In school today, ask your teacher the definition of "surprise"." he tells his son.

Wally spreads butter over the slices of bacon he has on top of a fried egg on a waffle. "You want surprised? Just watch Miss Martian's expression when I collect my birthday kiss." he stacks a second waffle on top to turn it into a sandwich. Kissing the waffle sandwich and letting out a short laugh.

(I don't know about that Wally you might a certain secret that Yn,Artemis,Megan been hiding from you)

Mary turns on the TV. "Well, I have a surprise for you. Or at least your Aunt Iris does."

On the GBS News Channel Iris sits in the main chair. "And a special shout-out to my nephew Wally wishing him a very happy 16th birthday.

"So cool!" Wally cheers.

"Now for school closures." Iris continues. "The following schools have declared today a snow day: Dubuc Elementary, Spisak Junior High, Central City High, Keystone High,"

"Oh, yes!" Wally cheers. Could life get any sweeter?

Outside a car screeches as the back wheels slide out for a moment.

Above the dark, snow-filled clouds, the sun shines bright, but also there's a large machine floating over the clouds pouring snow from every angle.

Mount Justice; November 11th, 16:05 EST

The thunder rumbles over the snow-covered mountain, but oddly enough the winds are calm.

Recognize:Kid Flash; B-0-3

Wally appears in the Zeta Tube, wearing his red turtleneck, dark heavy-duty pants, tucked into black boots, and an open brown jacket with fur on the hood that is pulled down.

Ai:Zeta Tube Network now off-line due to extreme atmospheric conditions.

Wally walks through the empty training area, "Whoa!" he says to himself. "I just made it." he walks into the darkened living room, though the kitchen lights are still on. "Be a tragedy if I missed my own-"

The lights snap on, causing him to reel back. "Surprise!" the entire team, Flash, and Red Tornado are all there. With a large banner 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' with presents and cakes on the coffee between the two couches.

Wally massively overplays his surprise. "What?!" hitting it rather high in the drawn-out word. "Oh, you guys. You shouldn't have."

"Right, Robin chuckles sarcastically, "not like you've been hinting for days or anything."

Wally kneels down in front of the coffee table, two cakes in front of him as he now wears a party hat on his head. "We made two cakes." M'gann tells him.

"Awesome!" Wally cheers. "What'll you guys eat?"

M'gann smiles. "We'll split the cupcake. Make a wish."

"Way ahead of you." Wally flirts before blowing out all the candles on both cakes.

They all cheer and clap.

Wally looks at M'gann out of the corner of his eye as she cuts the cake. "You know, if I tell you my wish, it won't come true. But if you guess..." he trails, smirking. Ignoring him, she hands him the first slice of cake. "Nope. Guess again."

Artemis turns away, narrowing her eyes. Barely avoiding glaring.

M'gann gives him a kiss on the hairline. "Happy birthday."

Wally sighs a little, disappointed while Artemis' lips twitch into a small smile. Not quite smug.

Kaldur and Conner talk to the Flash while Zatanna remains bundled up in her jacket with her hat still on as well.

Robin offers two pieces of cake, the plate being the first thing she sees out of the corner of her eye. She turns, a little caught off guard.

"You settling in here okay?" the Boy Wonder asks low, but genuinely.

Zatanna takes the plate from him. Looking away. "Oh, yeah. It's just like home."

Robin frowns briefly before continuing. "I know this is all very new and intimidating, but I promise you someday..." Wally slams an entire piece of cake into his mouth, chomping down- physically unable to close his mouth with the size of the bite he took- and spilling crumbs everywhere. "you'll get used to watching Wally eat." Robin finishes with a smirk.

Zatanna smiles.

Artemis walks up to the two of them. "Think we should tell him?"

All three watch as Wally flirts with M'gann as she cuts another slice. "You're getting warmer, babe, but I could make you warmer still."

Robin raises an eyebrow, looking to Artemis. "He is the only one who doesn't know."

"Then, please," Artemis says downright smug, "allow me.

Wally watches as M'gann stands up, while Artemis moves nearly unnoticed to sit on the couch just behind his right shoulder as M'gann walks away.

Robin and Zatanna can't hear what Artemis tells him as she places a hand on his shoulder and whispers in his ear, but they can see his eyes widen, as he turns to look at her before looking towards Yn and Megan

Megan feeds Yn a piece of cake which results frosting getting stuck on his lip megan whips it off and likes the frosting that was from Yn lip

Wally:oh man

Artemis:that's not all I'm dating him to

Wally shocked that Yn not only get one hottie but two hotties

Attention, Team. Suit up." Batman says over the loudspeakers. "Polar Stealth. Mission briefing in five."

Batman is on the large screen in the Zeta Room, the entire team- including Zatanna- are wearing their costumes, except their all-white or shades of pale grey.

"Where's Flash?" Wally asks.

"Flash and Red Tornado already have their assignments." Batman says as he flies through the storms in the BatPlane. "A massive ice storm has paralyzed North America from coast to coast. Satellite imagery has detected five flying ice fortresses, source unknown," an image of one shows up on the screen. "which seem to be responsible and must be stopped.

"Can't the Watchtower blow them out of the sky or something?" Wally questions.

Artemis sends him a look, while Zatanna's the one who voices their question of "What's a Watchtower?"

Batman sighs, heavily, sending a look toward Kid Flash. "The League's orbiting headquarters is not weaponized. And with both Green Lanterns off-world, I need all hands on deck.

Robin's eyes widen behind his mask. "Does that mean what I think it means?" he asks, unable to keep the slight edge of joy from coming out in his voice. "The League and the Team fighting side-by-side?"

"Whoa! Really?" Wally questions from the other side of the lineup. Now that's a birthday wish come true.

"Superboy, use the Super-Cycle to rendezvous with the BatPlane at Ice Fortress 1." Batman commands. "You'll drop off Robin and Aqualad, then continue on with Wolf to meet up with Black Canary and Red Tornado at Ice Fortress 2. Miss Martian, Artemis, Zatanna take the Bio Ship and rendezvous with Green Arrow and Martian Manhunter at Fortress 3. Other leaguers will deal with Fortresses 4 and 5. Sending all coordinates now."

Wally pauses for a moment, then steps forward a little. "Uh, Batman? I think you skipped..."

"Kid Flash," Batman starts, Wally absolutely beams, "a young girl in Seattle 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 it 3,000 miles cross country."

No, no, no. Wally's face falls into pure distraught. He can't seriously expect me to skip the first-ever League-Team team-up? "Who is this girl?" he questions.

Batman's eyes narrow. "Does it matter?"

"No, of course not," Wally says with a serious level of disappointment, "but can't we Zeta...?"

"Zeta-Tubes are offline." Robin cuts in. "Sorry."

"Right." Wally says with a forced smile. "Then how can I say no?" Seriously, how? "Guess I won't be needing stealth." Wally hits his logo with his fist, his suit returns to the classic yellow and red coloring. "Speedy Delivery Boy, at your service."

Yn:hold on why don't I get it instead of KF my ship faster than him and I won't be helpful in the ice fortresses my weapons in my ship still not working plus it's his birthday

Batman:...fine

Wally:yes thank you Yn

Yn:it's my birthday present to you

Yn goes to his ship and leave the cave

Law enforcement across the country has been alerted to your mission and is clearing your route." Batman says over the radio in Yn ship.

He looks down at his computer screen on his right wrist, looking at the route they're sending him through.

Looking up just in time to see the BioShip fly off.

He moves left while SuperCycle drives past him before taking off into the air.
