Summary
Wally knew that Roy needed to open up about his issues with Green Arrow, but couldn’t the Teen Titans just sit him down for a nice meal and talk about it? You know, like normal people would? No of course, Dick had to make everything complicated, opting for a high-stakes mission to pry things out of Roy.
What Wally didn’t get was his own involvement in this. He didn’t mind helping his friends out, but his presence here wasn’t necessary. The whole point of this mission was to address a fragile parent-child relationship— something Dick could handle by himself. So why did he ask Wally to come? Was this some elaborate plan to force all three of them to talk?
Sure, Wally might have his share of family issues, but they weren’t worth addressing— especially not when compared to his teammates’ problems. And if Dick wanted to see issues where they weren’t any, well, Wally wasn’t gonna let him.

Summary
Broccoli hair wiped his eyes and took a shaky breath. “Thank you”
Oh. He was being thanked? People didn’t do that much, so it left him fumbling for an answer. It felt… nice to do something right for once.
He broke into a wide grin. “You’re welcome!”
“I’m Izuku Midoriya.” Broc- Izuku said. There was a little spark in his eyes that hadn’t been there before.
“The name's Naruto! And I’m gonna become the best Hero ever- Believe it!”
Izuku smiled, but then looked away with sadness. Augh, did Naruto say something wrong?
“I also, I want—” Izuku paused, then something in his eyes shifted. It was small, but it made a difference somehow. It was a flicker of resolve.
“I want to be a hero too.”
Naruto lit up. “Then let’s become heroes together!”
