Hiya. I haven't written in a really long time, and I apologize for that. Just don't have much motivation, I guess.. Still, here's a small oneshot/twoshot for all you spitfire lovers! ;)

Disclaimer: No, I don't own YJ. Do you seeeee a living speedster? No. *cri*


He didn't want to be in this mission. Not with her anyway. The annoying archer who was unfortunately his teammate, and took any and every opportunity to completely destroy him with her comebacks and snappy comments, which often left him speechless and more annoyed than before. They were good after all, but like he would ever give her the credit.

Wally knew Artemis was a good fighter and archer, but he wouldn't say that. He couldn't! It hurt his pride more than anything. And when he finally got the chance to get back at her, when she was weak, he couldn't.

In fact, he found himself growing closer to the annoying archer, and might even have started to enjoy it.

It all started a week ago…

"Shut up, Wally," Artemis hissed, shooting a glare at the speedster as she trudged along through the heavy, cold snow.

Wally glared back at her. "Shut up?! No way! That's the last thing I'm gonna do, and you better hear me out," he said. "First of all, it's your fault we're stuck here-"

"How is it my fault?! You're the one who insisted that you drive that stupid plane!"

"-and second, I never even wanted to be with you on this mission! I'd much rather be with Miss Martian or Robin! At least they listen." Before Wally could throw in any more insults as to why Artemis was his least favorite teammate, she looked firmly up at him.

"Oh, believe me, Baywatch, you're probably the last person I want to be with right now, the feeling's mutual. But if you want to get out alive, just shut up and try to get us out of here!" she shouted. Wally noticed how her voice shook, and finally took in her disheveled appearance.

Being a speedster himself, his body temperature was always high, but it wasn't the same for Artemis. Her lips very blue, her hair had tiny crystals in it, and her skin was tinged with a little grey. Not a good sign.

He knew if she stayed like this for too long, she might just freeze to-

"Quit staring at me!"

Artemis' sharp voice pulled him out of his thoughts, and he quickly shook his head. "Right, right.." Wally's voice trailed off. Now feeling a little ashamed of himself, he swallowed his pride and asked, "Ar-are you okay?"

"No, no! I'm fine, really. Stuck in the middle of a snow storm with absolutely no powers or anything, couldn't have been better!" she replied with dry enthusiasm. Wally rolled his eyes. Trust Artemis to be sarcastic at a time like this.

Before he could shoot something snarky back at her, a low shiver escaped Artemis' lips. She wrapped her arms around herself, but it wasn't much use. Her uniform could cover only so much of her skin, and it was plain to see how cold she was.

Wally wished more than anything that he could run them somewhere, or that he had some jacket to give her.

"Let's go there.." he told her, pointing at a small cave that was slowly appearing in the distance. Artemis only nodded, and followed Wally, who did his best to move fast and push through the snow.

The cold wind blew sharply against their faces, making it harder to walk, and caused Artemis to slip and fall head first into the soft snow. And any other time, Wally would've laughed, but he couldn't bring himself to do it right now.

"S-Stupid mission, stupid plane, stupid B-Batman," Artemis grumbled under her breath, carefully picking herself up again. Her voice quivered, her shoulders shook. Wally forced a chuckle, but it was still strained.

He was getting worried. As they approached the small opening in the rocky mountain, he hurried inside. "Here, come here," he said quickly, grabbing her by the shoulders and pulling her in after him.

It was a very tiny place, and there was hardly enough space for both of them, but it sheltered them from the snow storm. They sat a few feet away from each other in silence, neither of them saying a word.

"Hopefully the others will notice we're gone and come soon.. But they probably can't. Not until this snow storm ends." Wally muttered.

"Hopefully…"
