Dick was creeping through the remains of a meta - trafficking ring his best friend Wally West the Kid Flash had asked for his help on. The newly turned seventeen year old wouldn't normally do this because he had his executive duties along with training his new students Ryuunosuke and his sister Gin Akutagawa. Their training had been going awesome lately. He mentally 'Thanked' Bruce for giving him adoption issues as well.
The only reason Dick agreed to help in the first place was because it had been a bit of a port mafia problem lately, in fact this specific ring of 'Human' trafficking had been all around the Yokohama underworld lately normally this wouldn't be a problem for them.
As much as Dazai insisted that they should tolerate human trafficking they couldn't get to every single human trafficking ring in the world had been using their trading routes. So mori understanding why Dazai was made told him that as ling as they were disposed of he didnt care how it happened.
So on his way to meet up with Wally to see him and discuss any of the leaders the older hero could potentially have on the case, it wasnt often that Nightwing did cases outside of Blüdhaven but not unheard-of. Plus, it would be easier to do with Wally and not Chuuya for two reasons.
One: If Dazai didnt get rid of them soon Mori would send Chuuya and make the shorter male do it with him because whenever he was around the other boy he got this wierd feeling in his stomach almost like butterfly's.
Two: He actually wanted to do something on this mission because his body had been telling him - no screaming at him to flip, to move, to he didn't know SOMETHING. Tp fly like he did before his family stopped in gotham and his parents' wings were clipped forever.
After the debrief Nightwing went over the things he had to do in his head, all he had to do was pretend to be a buyer ( Which wasnt hard all he had to do was interested in buying one for their items, this was almost to easy but hey who was he to complain?) Dazai could straight away tell that this wasnt a standard trafficking ring. They somehow had access to some new port mafia technology that Dazai knew only the mafia had. He knew because he built most of it. It looked like their was a traitor. In their ranks, he was mourning his lost of more sleep already.
Wally's role was just to stay out until Nightwing gave him the signal to move in. Of course, they had a device that allowed them to tell if someone was a meta or not. Luckily for him, his ability made his Meta-Gene completely undetectable because of No Longer Human covering it up.
The more experienced hero of the two men had it all under control until one of the goons came in screaming:
"Guys! Nightwings here!"
They then decided that he needed to be taken out because he was a witness or whatever, so Wally had to run in and give him his Escima Sticks so they could take the gang down.
After taking the gang down they charged out of their suits to go to a close restaurant in a close Mall to them that served big enough portions to feed Wally without him needing to order like fifteen of them and Dazai could pretend that he ate food off the speedsters plate while he really didnt because he didnt deserve it.
It was all fun with Wally and Dick goofing off together and talking (With a fair bit of Dick fawning over his little brother Jason) until the other part of his life had to come in and ruin it. Dazai always had his guard up every hour of every minute of every day, so he immediately noticed someone watching them, however faint the feeling was. ( being trained by the bat and apart of the port mafia told him to trust his gut)
Dazai turned around, and sure enough, there was someone watching them. Unfortunately He knew this person. Dazai soon found himself making eye contact with a shirt tempered red-haired menace of a partner. He immediately sighed, and there went his hangout with Wally. Dick was about to make an excuse to leave when Chuuya came up to them, leaving Wally to tense.
"Hey Mackarel!" The short boy said in fake excitement, "We have a new mission! Ready to go?" Dick could see how confused Wally was, so he decided to take pity on his best friend turned ex turned best friend again.
"Sure, chibi! Let's go. I'll meet you outside in five minutes!" Dazai chirped. After his dog left Dick could talk to Wally alone.
"Sorry man, i really need to go. We could reschedule for another day, though?"
Wally nodded once before finishing his food at a truly inhuman speed.
"I'll walk you out! I'll still see you at this month's original Titans meet up though right?" Wally asked slowly, well slow for a speedster anyway.
"Of course you will, KF! I'll be there, i promise!"
The duo started to walk towards the parking lot Dazai, knowing exactly where Chuuya had parked, much to Wally's confusion. Both unfortunately and fortunately Chuuya had chosen one if the more... blend in cars, but unfortunately, it was still on the more expensive side.
Wally out of all people Dick knew would know this because a couple of years ago when he had still been Robin and on the Young Justice team with Wally the other hero had, had a car phase wanting to understand the contraptions that were the closest things in speed that could match him. (Even though Artemis had teased him for it)
Slowly, Dazai got in the car to drive away with Chuuya, and with a final wave of goodbye at Wally, they drove away. Hours later with Chuuya snuggled up against his chest after their mission filled with blood and sweat. Just as the wonderful world of sleep was about to take him, he realised that he would have to explain to Wally, who Chuuya was and swore.
"Fuck me with a pointy stick falling of a trapeze, Fuck!"
Chuuya just snorted at him. The traitor.
