Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice, otherwise there would be huge Spitfire make out scenes on the air right now. XD XD XD
Hey,, guys. So I was watching (-cough-obsessing-cough-) over Spitfire when this idea occurred to me. So I wrote it down. It's a three shot because it used to be a really long oneshot and I remembered people like me (Hence people with low attention spans.) wouldn't read this so I transformed it! Enjoy!

Mount Justice, 8:15 a.m.
"I can't believe you!"
Those four words rang out towards the entire building and found its way to the kitchen where Aqualad, Robin, Megan and Superboy were busy eating breakfast. All four of them looked up at each other. Kid Flash and Artemis were fighting… again…
At the same moment Wally and Artemis walked into the kitchen. Artemis was soaking wet with a towel wrapped around her and Wally's face was red from laughing. It didn't take a genius to figure it out.
"Sorry, it was an accident." Wally said, apologizing.
"How hard is it to watch where you aim a water hose? What were you even doing with a water hose?" Artemis asked. Both were so caught up in the argument that they didn't even notice that they had an audience.
"Yeah? Well, you could've told me you were behind me. That's not so hard is it?" He countered. Artemis narrowed her eyes at him.
"I did! But you were so caught up in being an idiot that you didn't hear me!" Artemis yelled.
"You really told me you were behind me?"
"Yeah."
"I don't think so."
"Are you calling me a liar?"
"Yes."
"Moron."
"Liar."
"Idiot."
"Replacement."
Artemis turned; ready to kill when the two noticed a strange, yet familiar smell in the air. What was that? Both turned to see Robin, a bowl of popcorn in front of him watching the two intensely.
"Don't mind me! You know this is actually kind of entertaining. I'm kind of wondering when you guys will just make out already."
"Me and him? You must be kidding." Artemis said.
"You know me, Robin. I would never date a thing like… it." Wally said. Artemis glared at him and lunged at him. Robin sighed. It was his turn to break up this fight… The calendar on the fridge said so. He got up form his chair so he could keep Artemis's hands as far away from his best friend's neck as possible.
Then it happened. While watching Artemis claw at the air, desperate to get to Kid Flash an idea ran through Robin's head. A perfect idea to get them to cooperate. Then Megan put Kaldur, Superboy and Robin online.
Kaldur, you there?
Yeah
Superboy, you there?
Yes
Robin, you there?
Yes. And I have a plan.
Mount Justice, 10:00 a.m.
Artemis and Wally showed up at the same time in the command room, prepared fro todays mission, only to be greeted by a clank. The turned and saw a smirking Robin dangling a set of keys. It was only then with horror that Kid Flash and Artemis looked down at there wrists which were attached by a long silver chain, then looked up at a smirking Robin, a murderous look in there eyes.
"What did you do?' Artemis asked as she noticed Kaldur, Superboy and Megan standing behind him.
"We feel you two can't behave very well together so we've concluded to tie you two together until you two learn to work together." Kaldur explained. Artemis felt anger bubbling up in her. Then it happened…
M'gann, Robin and Superboy were smart enough to run when Artemis got chained to Wally, but Kal… Well, he was sacrificed.
"KALDUR!" Artemis yelled at the top of her lungs so hard that it rivaled Black Canary's. I mean, even she could hear it and she was across the building. (In fact, it made Black Canary nod her head in approval. Ollie had obviously taught the girl well…)
Meanwhile, Kaldur winced and took the chain.
"Hey, hey where are we going? Come on, I'm chained to it don't I at least get some rights?" Wally asked. Artemis glared hard at him as the pair was thrown into… Wait, was that a confinement cell? One for the mentally ill? Y'know where the baddies went? Oh… It was.
Kaldur put both in there. "The League had come to a decision on this… even though it was Robin's idea first…"
"I knew it! That sneaky little…" Wally said, interrupting Kal.
"Anyways, you have to stay here all day until you work out your issues. You will be monitored by the League. So Artemis, that means no attempted murder of Kid Flash, what so ever. Got it?" Kaldur asked. Artemis grumbled something that sounded a lot like 'No promises.'
"All right. Food will come in periodically. Goodbye." Kaldur said before shutting the door.
…
The league crept around the computer screen, anxiously watching the two teens chained together.
If your about to ask why the entire (Yeah, the entire league. That's including Bats and Supey.) League was here, it was because, well… They were afraid of Artemis… just a bit. It wasn't that they couldn't handle a teenage girl it was just that her aim with the bows was so skilled… One mistake and there heads could be off.
And besides, they were placing bets on Artemis and Wally and needed video evidence to get the money.
And at least one witness…
Oh, did I mention the room was bugged too?
Anyways, YJ and JLA crowded around the screen watching them. Yeah… it was bad.
"So do you have any idea when we should let them out?" Robin asked. Ol'Batty shook his head.
"No. Not really. We plan on keeping them in there until they make up…"
Somewhere in the back of the room someone (-coughTheFlash-cough-) coughed while saying, "Make-out."
"Plus, don't we need video evidence to win this bet?" Black Canary asked. Green Arrow shook his head.
"I'm telling you, they just dislike each other. Nothing more, nothing less." He defended.
"No. No. No. No. I've seen T.V shows like this all the time. It's clear that they are in love with each other. Right, D?" Black Canary asked, addressing Diana. She nodded.
"Yes. Back in my native country one of my sisters best friends hated her future spouse just like this. Their loves, masked by hate." Diana explained. Bats huffed.
"Its just hate! I don't believe in love sap that you guys do." He huffed. No one was surprised, I mean this was Batman… And no one dared to argue with him. Recently rumors had spread that his cape was a jetpack. Flash even had photographic evidence of it.
…
Artemis sat with her back to the wall, looking sharply to the right, meanwhile Wally paced the room… Well, not really pacing, it was running back and forth in a tight, enclosed area.
"Will, you stop that already? You keep jerking me back and forth." Artemis said, complaining.
"That's what she said…" Wally chuckled, earning the death glare from Artemis.
"Can't you be serious about this? Were chained together, locked in solitary confinement and all you can do is joke around?" She asked, her voice rising a couple volumes.
"Joking around is my way of dealing with things." Wally explained. Artemis scowled.
"Then I'd be a hilarious person if that was my stradgy too." She muttered, talking about her father.
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
"Geez, Arty you said that fast. Your not hiding something are you?" Wally said jokingly.
"Kid?"
"Yeah?"
"Shut up."
"Well, how do you deal with things?" He asked.
"When did this turn into an episode of Doctor Phil?" Artemis asked. (A/N Don't own!)
"Well… you're a pretty closed up person. I'm just offering a shoulder to cry on." He said, tenderly looking at Artemis softly. She looked back and felt a blush creeping up her face… And for a moment Artemis almost gave in.
"You'd hate me if you knew." She confessed, unwillingly. Whoa… how did he do that? She's never told anyone anything close to her past.
"Try me." Wally said and Artemis felt her mouth open to spill the beans. Everything. Her father. Her past… And her missions.
Then she looked at Wally and stopped. She couldn't possibly burden him with this. It was… too much. Even she couldn't handle it. And Wally couldn't possibly handle it.
"I… can't." She said, stopping herself.
"So you don't trust me?" Wally asked, accusatory.
"N… NO! Its not that, but have you… have you ever had a secret you've never wanted to tell anyone? In fear of them…" Artemis stopped herself before she got too sappy.
"You don't have to lie. I know you just don't trust me." Wally accused. Artemis jumped to her feet.
"Its not that! I do trust you, idiot!" She yelled, feeling surprised at how genuine the words felt.
"Whatever." He said, sitting down with his back to her. Artemis sighed.
It was going to be a long day…
…
"OH! Four hours in and there already not speaking to each other. That's five bucks, Kal." Robin said, outstretching his hand. Kaldur sighed before digging out five dollars and dropping it into my palm.
"You guys are already betting? We haven't even gotten to the good stuff yet!" The Flash said, speeding over.
"I figured I could make a small fortune off this stuff. Kaldur bet five minutes in they'd start fighting. I bet a couple hours in and they'd already be pissed at each other. Artemis wouldn't pick a fight right away." Robin explained. Superboy jumped up.
"I want to change my bet now! I know what you…"
"Sorry Supey, but no call-backs… under any circumstances." Robin explained. The entire JLA sighed.
"Well, were screwed." Black Canary said.
"You bet against a kid!" Superman cried shocked.
"We thought we'd get a few bucks off him…" They cried in protest.
Batman meanwhile walked over to his son and patted his head nodding in approval. "Good job, sob. Good job." While dropping a couple bucks into his palm.
Robin smiled. This was a brilliant plan. Not only was it going to make Wally and Artemis get together quicker, but it was going to make him very rich…
He looked at the JLA and YJ.
Very fast…
