~Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offences.~

I, Wally West, was dating Artemis. Hard to believe right? I was the screw up, goofball of the team, and she was… gosh she was perfect. She rarely made any mistakes, was just as good or maybe better shot than Spe- Red Arrow was, and was beautiful. Seriously, beautiful. I did not know how I got so lucky. When she first arrived I hated her. She was sarcastic, and not in a good way, and a complete and total smart-aleck. It was annoying. Everyone thought we had something and weren't telling anyone but there was nothing. Just hate. Eventually my best friend, Robin, Boy Wonder of Gotham, pulled me aside. He said that my hatred with Artemis was destroying the team from the inside out. I refused to believe him at first, but then I realized it. So I confronted her. I said that this wasn't working, and we at least needed to try and be civil. Then it happened. It was all a training stimulation gone too far. Way too far. It seemed so real. All of our mentors, gone. Then Wolf died. Ehh, it was just a dog. We were sad but moved on. Then another ship came out of nowhere and zapped Artemis. She was gone. I expected to feel less sad than I had with wolf, and be able to move on to save the world. But something tugged at my heart. I didn't know how or when but somehow I had fallen head over heels for her. She was really gone, my mind kept repeating. Back in the bio ship I slammed my fist against the dash, "No, no, NO NO NO!" My mind kept repeating. She cant be, no. I… I had to believe it. But then everyone slowly died off. Me and Robin were stuck on the alien mother ship, the bomb less than ten seconds left and no way out. Then we died. There was the feeling of just being asleep then I woke with a start. No gates of heaven or hell, but… we were back at the cave. Everyone was alive. More importantly, she was alive. My heart swelled, but I couldn't show it. She didn't know how I felt, how I reacted when she had left us. Left me. Our relationship improved. Eventually, finally, I got her. I asked her out, and we kept with it. Our bond grew stronger and stronger. When Kaldur died…I was inconsiderate. I was just glad it hadn't been Artemis like it was supposed to be. She was mad. She had looked up to him, as a leader, almost a father figure seeing that hers was a super villain and Ollie was a drunk. She had smacked me, and stalked off. It took a few days but when she finally let me in her presence again… I could feel it. She had forgiven me. She needed me. The forgiveness and pure love shown in her eyes as she ran, shouting apologies into my shoulder, and sobbing harshly. She never cried. This was different though. I realized that that one line I remembered the pastor saying was true. Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offences.
