The Wrong Ones 6b - Liberation

[anonymous]

“See, Professor Zoom’s the Flash’s nemesis, right?” Kid Flash starts, standing up. “Well, this is sort of complicated, but, see, my name isn’t actually Wally - it’s Thaddeus Thawne - and my parents aren’t actually my real parents. I’m just kind of living with them because I’mreallyfromthefuture.”

“Pardon?” Artemis says, leaning forward. “Did you just say what I thought you just said?”

“It’s complicated!” Kid Flash whines. “See, speedsters can run so fast we can travel in time and my grandfather, well, he’s a piece of work. He’s a descendent of Professor Zoom, big on the whole evil legacy of evil thing, and totally freaked out that Bart, my brother, ran all the way back to the past to become a Flash. So he cloned me and told me to run back and mess him up, but I… uh… kinda just went a little too far back and then the Flash, who’s really my grandfather by the way - did I mention it was complicated -, picked me up and I was like You’re totally AWESOME! And then he made me Kid Flash so I could keep using my powers and stuff, but for good, see?”

Artemis rolls her eyes and voices exactly what Aqualad and probably most of the team is thinking. “You’re making that up.”

“Well, when we finally run into my brother, then you’ll change your mind,” Kid Flash says loftily. He quickly counts on his fingers and adds, “If history hasn’t changed too much, he should be showing up in a few years.”
“Is that meant to be reassuring?” Superboy asks, scratching his head in bewilderment.

Kid Flash shrugs, dropping back into his chair. “I dunno. Time travel’s confusing. I’m still trying to figure out if my being here and posing as Wally West means the future is fixed or not.”

“I’m still not convinced over here,” Artemis says, leaning back in her chair and waving her hand dismissively.

Kid Flash gives her a withering look. “Do you think I’d really make up having a name as awful as Thaddeus?”

“Dunno, you tell me, Wallace,” Artemis shoots back with a smug grin.

“While we’re on the subject of secrets, I’m actually a white Martian,” M’gann pipes up, interrupting them before Artemis can finish knocking him about alliteration. All color drains from the Martian’s skin, leaving behind milky white flesh. She waves, smiling, and says: “Hello!”

Robin clears his throat and sits up. “Way to upstage me, guys. My birth father was just a lowly bagman for Two Face. So, how about this? My real name’s Jason Todd.”

“What?” Kid Flash says incredulously, turning to him. “Dude! I thought it was-”

“My first adoptive family changed it when they took me in. Didn’t quite match the act, if you get my drift,” Robin admits, shrugging. “So, what about you, Superboy? Any secrets about your identity? Inquiring minds want to know.”
