Professional Nannies
Chapter 1.
There was just something about her that aggravated him to no end. If it was her snarky remarks or aggressive attitude, he wasn't sure. Maybe it was the smile, undoubtedly taunting his every move.
Luckily for Wally, he wouldn't be paired with Artemis for the next mission. If he was correct, he was sure that after a week with his favorite Martian, a date would be secured, as well.
He rushed into the cave, eager on receiving orders from Batman. And there they stood. The Team, Batman, and that ever annoying archer.
"Ssoo, Batman... Where're you sending me and Miss M? I heard Hawaii is a place in desperate need of protection!" He began brightly, shooting a wink at the said Miss M, who only shook her head lightly.
"Yes, of course. Defend the North Shores from the sea's deadly inhabitants," Artemis drawled. "Fishes."
Wally glared at her.
Batman cleared his throat. "The plans have altered slightly. The training exercise will take place at a children's home. This will help you improve on some of the missing elements during battles. Patience and teamwork. While fighting is not required, being prepared wouldn't hurt. You will not go as Kid Flash but as Wally West, accompanied, of course, by Artemis."
Robin stifled a snicker. Wally's disappointment and confusion were very evident, for though his interactions with Artemis had improved significantly, an opportunity to spend time with M'gann was never passed. Artemis was hardly any better.
"Wait, children's home?" Her eyes widened. "No, no, no! I am not babysitting toddlers for a week, they're - they're practically feral!"
Wally nodded earnestly. "Kids love me and all, but-"
"So it's settled," Batman cut in. If Wally wasn't mistaken, the dark knight's voice betrayed a little amusement as he continued, "You'll leave tomorrow morning."
. . .
"Wally and Artemis, professional nannies for life!" Dick cackled afterward.
"You could use him for target practice, y'know.." Wally mused.
Artemis smirked. "Grab the arms."
"Not necessary!" Dick yelped, jumping away from them. "But hey, teamwork. You're doing so great already."
Two groans immediately followed.
Heeerreee we go~
