Alright, well this is something that I've been thinking about for a while now. Anyway, this a little prologue to the rest of the story I have in mind for this pairing, as a bit of a tribute to the fact that Young Justice is getting a third season. It starts off with some Spitfire fluff and then... well, just read on to see.

Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice or anything else that will appear in this story.


Palo Alto

It was early morning, just before the sun came up. Artemis was the first one to wake up, with her head on his chest and his heartbeat in her ear. Giving off a contented sigh, she moved her hand over his, smiling as her fingers brushed the wedding ring on his finger.

She looked up at Wally's face, utterly content with a small smile in his sleep. He just looked so adorable. Even after all these years, her love for him hadn't diminished in the slightest, and vice versa.

It was hard to believe that only a couple years ago, she had thought he was gone forever; having sacrificed his life to save the world from the Reach's doomsday devices. Only a few months after was it discovered that he had actually been trapped in a pocket dimension and freed, thanks to the help of their allies.

Less than a year after he came back, they got married, figuring that they had both waited long enough. Then after they had both graduated from college, they had both gotten jobs with the League's new allies, working together on one of the most stunning pieces of engineering they had ever seen.

Recently, they had been offered extra payment to take a business trip beyond their normal working environment for a few weeks. They still hadn't decided on what they should do, but they had to figure it out soon.

At the moment though, Artemis didn't want to think about that. She was content, tracing imaginary patterns on his chest with her fingers. It was at that moment that Wally stirred, prompting Artemis to lean up and gently kiss him.

"Mm, good morning Babe." Wally sleepily murmered. His arm idly moved around her hip, his hand caressing the small of her back. He pulled her in for another kiss, before breaking off, finally opening his green eyes with a smile.

"You're in a good mood this morning." She commented.

"Is there a reason not to be?" He asked cheekily. "It's our day off and I have the most beautiful woman in the world in my arms." She rolled her eyes.

"Whatever you say, Romeo." She snarked, though inwardly, she was pleased with that comment.

They just stayed there, lying in bed, their hands wrapped around each other, simply enjoying the feeling and presence of each other. The sun rose from behind the curtains, warming the room and making the two of them even more comfortable.

Artemis felt that they could stay there forever, just content in each other's arms. But inevitably, the peace of the moment was shattered by a very familiar sound to the couple: Wally's stomach growling. He groaned, his head falling back on the pillow. Artemis couldn't help but laugh.

"Hungry?"

"Yep."

"Alright." Artemis softly kissed him again and then got out of bed. "Let's shower first, then we'll fix up some food."

"I don't know, babe." Wally sat up. "I really think I should eat first."

"Suit yourself." Artemis paused in front of the bathroom door and pulled off Wally's old shirt, reminding him that she wasn't wearing anything underneath. With her back to him, she slyly looked at him over her shoulder. "You'll be missing out."

Wally felt his arousal grow as his wife disappeared into the bathroom. Sparing a brief glance to the kitchen, then back to the bathroom, he simply muttered, "It can wait." and with a grin, followed her into the shower.


Half an hour later, the two of them were dressed and relaxing on the couch, with Wally scarfing down food and feeding scraps to Brucely. Artemis smirked and sat at his side, putting her head on his shoulder.

She could've stayed like that forever. Unfortunately though, her thoughts kept wandering to the recent offer they had gotten. Personally, she wouldn't mind the trip, but she wasn't so sure Wally would want to. Shaking those thoughts out of her head, she decided to convince him some other time. Which made it all the more surprising when he brought it up right now.

"Hey babe." Wally looked at Artemis. "You know that offer we got a few days ago?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm thinking we should accept it." That surprised Artemis, who looked at him in disbelief.

"Really?"

"I mean, if you don't want to-"

"No, no, I'd like to." Artemis quickly replied. "I just didn't think you'd want to."

"Why not?"

"I don't know..." She stuttered. "I just thought- after what happened, you'd want to stay a little bit closer to home."

"You know, I'm not sure that where we work now is actually very close to home."

"Good point." Artemis laughed. "So, you really want to go for it?"

"Why not?" He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer. "We won't be gone for too long."

"Well, we'll still need someone to take care of Brucely." Artemis pointed out. "Seeing as we'll be gone for two to three weeks."

"We can get Dick to do it." Wally replied. "He still owes us a favor."

"Fair enough. I suppose we have a few calls to make."

"Not right now, babe." Wally protested. "I'd rather enjoy our day off." Artemis smiled.

"You're the one who brought it up!"

"Doesn't mean I want to do it right this minute." Wally pouted. Artemis rolled her eyes.

"Alright, alright. We'll do that tomorrow." She snuggled closer to him. "Then let's just enjoy the moment."


"So you know what to do?" Wally asked.

"Yes..." Dick said in exasperation. "I've done this before you know."

"Yeah, and you remember what happened last time?"

"It was the heat of the moment!" Nightwing exclaimed. "It won't happen again."

"It better not. It took a week for us to get everything clean again."

"Alright, alright." The former Boy Wonder sighed. "So... I'll make sure Brucely's ok while you're gone."

"Great, thanks." There was the sound of a clearing throat that emerged from their bedroom. "Sorry, I gotta go and help Artemis pack."

"Ok, I'll let you go. Oh and Barb says hi."

"Alright, take care." And with that, Wally ended the call and walked back to their room.

"How'd it go?"

"Well Dick knows that we don't want a repeat of what he did during our honeymoon."

"Good." Artemis folded up one of her shirts and put in the suitcase. "Because if we have a repeat of that, I'm going to kill him."

"You and me both babe." Wally started packing his own clothes as well, in a fraction of the time it was taking Artemis. Eventually, he was at the final piece of clothing.

"Do you really think we'll need these?" Wally asked, holding up his Kid Flash uniform. "I know he said to bring them along, but still..."

"Well, hopefully not." Artemis started packing her own costume along with her bow and quiver. "But it's always better to have it and not need it."

"I guess." Wally sighed, just as Artemis finished packing. Sitting down on the bed, Artemis sat with him and wrapped her arm around his shoulders.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, it's just..." He sighed again. "I just thought we'd be done with the superhero life after what happened at the North Pole."

Artemis winced at the memory, but then wrapped her arms around him in a loving embrace, which he returned. "I know it's not what we had planned." She whispered. "But we can't fight who we are. And at least now we're getting into less danger."

"Ironically." Wally couldn't help but smile. "What would I ever do without you?"

"Here's hoping you never have to find out." Artemis replied huskily.

The two of them sat in silence for a moment, then Artemis pulled back and captured his lips with hers, hungrily kissing him. The two of them fell back onto the bed, making out before Artemis broke off and straddled his waist.

"Mm, babe." Wally murmered as she started to kiss his neck. "Not that I'm not enjoying every second of this, but don't we have to leave soon?"

Artemis kissed him again, then briefly looked at the clock. They still had an hour before they needed to leave. "We have time."

Wally grinned in response, then pulled her closer and kissed her once more.


Ok, I'll admit, I kinda rushed through this, but fear not, this will be a longer story, so you'll be seeing more of the Spitfire pairing. Now, I'd like to mention that this is the beginning of a side story to another fic of mine: Omega Chronicles. Like most of my works, it will be a multicrossover story, with several different franchises being referenced or seen.

So, I'd just like to point out that I will soon be moving this story into the crossover section (specifically with Mass Effect), but I figured that I'd put it here first, since the first chapter doesn't have any real connection to the crossover portions.

Anyway, with all that out of the way, I hope everyone enjoyed this first chapter, and reviews are always welcome.
