Kaldur’s voice popped into his head.
Kaldur ordered.
“Ummm… Kid Flash, are you… talking to someone?” Dick asked hesitantly and it took a moment for Wally to realize that his hands were moving in sync with his psychic conversation.
He grinned and ducked his head sheepishly. “Yeah. My team mates and I have a psychic link we use to communicate.”
“Team mates? As in more than just that Flash?” Dick asked, and Wally noted to soft, lilting accent that dusted his words.
“It’s a long story,” Wally said, using Dick’s earlier statement. “Come on, you’re going for a ride.” Without waiting for Dick to acknowledge, Wally grabbed the kid, threw him over his shoulder, and dashed off.
The team was gathered in the center of the field, waiting for him. Robin was still tapping away on his computer, gathering data on the energy signature. He barely looked up and quirked an eyebrow at Wally and his ‘passenger’ before returning to his work. Kaldur has his arms folded across his chest, waiting for some explanation.
“Way to run off, Kid Idiot,” Artemis snarked.
“At least I found something,” Wally said coolly, pointing to Dick.
Dick grunted with annoyance. “You mean someone. Put me down!”
“Oh, yeah, sorry.” Wally let Dick slide off his shoulder. The kid straightened and turned to face the rest of the team. “Guys, this is-”
“Dick Grayson?” Artemis cried in disbelief. Wally took a step back at the outburst, but Dick just puffed out his chest, soaking in the attention. Out of the corner of his eye, Wally saw Robin straighten and look up in disbelief. If it were possible, the hacker grew a few shades paler.
“You know him?” Superboy asked, glancing between Artemis and Dick warily.
Artemis sputtered and squirmed. “Well, I.. He…” she finally snapped through their mental link.
“He said he was a circus performer,” Wally explained aloud, conscious of the fact that Dick was giving them a strange look. “But in the middle of his performance, the circus just disappeared and he ended up here.”
“Perhaps that explains the energy signature. What do you remember, Dick?” Kaldur asked calmly.

“It’ll be all right, Dick,” M’gann soothed. “We’ll find them.” She gently rested her hand on his shoulder and he seemed to relax slightly.
Wally, however, was hung up on one point of Dick’s story. “Wait a second. There was no circus in Central City a few weeks ago. In fact, there hasn’t been anything like that for a few months. Not since the State Fair and there were no ‘Flying Graysons’ there.”
Dick looked surprised and was about to protest when Robin cut him off, his voice cold. “That’s because they don’t exist.”
The others turned to their youngest member, waiting for an explanation. Wally saw M’gann shudder and step back. “What do you mean, they don’t exist?” Dick demanded. “Of course they exist. I exist! Less than an hour-”
“They don’t exist here,” Robin interrupted, his voice colder than Wally had ever heard it. Most people thought Batman was the scariest partner in the Dynamic Duo, but right now, Robin was giving the Bat a run for his money. Wally felt a shiver run up his spine. “You-” he said, pointing to Dick- “are from a different dimension.”

Aaaannddd, I hate how short these posts have to be. Me, computers, not a good mix on an average day.

This is wonderful. I love the fact that Artemis recognized Dick, and I love Robin's reaction. Can't wait for the next bit. :D
