"-and this, Mom, is my team." Artemis said as she finished her tour of the Cave by returning to the kitchen where her friends were. "This is Kaldur, Conner, M'gann, Robin and you already know Wally." She introduced as she gestured to each of them.
"It is a pleasure to finally meet all of you, I see Artemis writing about you in her diary all the time." Paula Crock greeted the team.
"Mom!" Artemis exclaimed as her teammates failed to hold back their laughter, Robin's cackle the most obvious followed by Wally's.
"What?" She turns to meet her daughter's red face, "Oh, sorry, she prefers to call it a journal." The team continued and even Conner cracked a smile.
"Mom. Drop. It." Artemis snarled as the team quickly regained their senses.
"Very well, but I do not see them problem. You've been such a drama queen. Even when you were little, you would always put on little plays with that stuffed bear you had. What was his name? Winfred, Walty?"
"Mom, stop." Artemis begged.
"No, no, it will come to me… Oh that was it! Wally." The team switched who they stared at from Artemis to Wally. The speedster had started to choke on the apple he was eating.
"What type of plays, Mrs. Crock?" Robin asked with a smirk.
"Please, call me Paula. Oh she loved doing one play, it was by Shakespeare; Romeo and Juliet, I believe." Paula concluded.
Wally and Artemis stared at each other, the latter horrified by what had been revealed.
"Makes sense." Conner stated as he left the room with M'gann in toe nodding.
"It appears Artemis knew before they even met." Kaldur contemplated leaving the trickster with the two flustered teens.
"I better leave the two 'star-crossed lovers' to the mother of the bride." Robin cackled as he left the room.
"Yeah, and I um… have to, um, bye." Said Wally as he fled the scene.
"It was nice to meet all your friends Artemis."
"Ugh."
