* WhiteAndGrayMorality: The worse the designated "villains" do is using borderline illegal ways to protect an abused kid, and even the abusive parent is more of a messed up human being than a full-blown sociopath.

Added DiffLines:

* PapaWolf: The Rogues were ready to go to town on Flash because they thought he was hitting his sidekick. As for Flash himself, he did ''not'' take easy the resident criminals abducting his nephew.
* SecretIdentity: Played with -- the Rogues uncover the fact that "Kid Flash" is Wally West in his civvies, but decide to keep mum since the League would inflict them a LaserGuidedAmnesia if they knew.
* TraumaButton: Because many of the Rogues had AbusiveParents of their own, the situation with Kid makes them a teeny bit upset.
* VillainHasAPoint: When he calls the kid out on the fact he never told anyone he was abused, Captain Cold reminds the sidekick he's only a ''child'', he shouldn't have to deal with this himself, and even if his dad doesn't mean it, he still hurt his own son.
* WhatTheHellHero: Captain Cold disapproves Wally's refusal to ask for help - isn't he supposed a hero? Heroes do the ''right'' thing, not the ''easy'' one.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10149769/1/What-s-Worse-than-a-Villain What's Worse than a Villain?]]'' is a ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' fanfic by Ally Marton.

The Flash's Rogues Gallery have always had a... [[FriendlyEnemy unique relationship]] with the resident hero and his sidekick. So when their (emphasis on THEIR) "baby" hero starts acting really weird, and some unexpected reveals are made, the Rogues take it as a duty to fix it. Because no one messes with THEIR Baby Flash. NO ONE.

!Contains the following tropes:
* AbusiveParents: Learning that Kid Flash's dad started hitting him quite rattles the Rogues, since some of them suffered the same problem.
* AdultFear: Learning that a kid you care for is abused and you never realized something was wrong until now.
* AffectionateNickname: To the Rogues, Kid Flash is "Baby" Flash.
* EvenEvilHaveStandards: The Rogues proudly call themselves villains, but take offense at the idea they could become monsters. Villains still have limits such as refusing to hurt someone ForTheEvulz. Monsters don't.
* FriendlyEnemy: Flash is quite genial with the Rogues, but Kid takes it to the next level with him playing darts with Trickster and begging Mirror Master for help with his homework.
* TheKindnapper: How the Rogues decide to help Kid Flash - as long as he's with them, his dad is unable to hurt him.
