Happy Holidays Everyone! My gift for all of you is a young justice fanfic!

Enjoy!

(I don't own any characters)


Artemis wasn't much of a Christmas girl. The whole season didn't faze her at all. She didn't go shopping or decorate. She and her mother simply let the holiday go by without giving it a passing glance. Since she was that kind of girl why the hell was she sitting in the living room of the cave watching Conner and Kaldur set up a huge tree in the corner? Megan had gone shopping and now had boxes upon boxes of decorations in the room ready to be put on the tree.

Wally and Robin were busy having a wrapping paper sword fight which was ruining the wrapping paper Megan had just bought. Megan floated over to her while smiling. "Artemis don't you want to help put up decorations?"

"Not really," Artemis leaned back against the couch.

"Come on Goldilocks," Wally said having paused the wrapping paper duel to wrap the silver garland around the tree at super speed. "Don't be such a downer."

"You can put on these ornaments," Megan thrusted a box into her hands.

Seeing she wasn't getting out of this Artemis stood and trudged over to the tree. At a point, as she was hanging ornaments, one slipped and almost shattered on the floor. Lucky for her Wally, being the speedster he is, caught it. She gave a small smile of gratitude as he went to devour more gingerbread cookies. When the tree was done Megan floated over and placed the star on the very top.

"There... Finished," she smiled.

"Wait," Robin said pressing some keys on his laptop. "There." As he hit the last key the entire room, including the tree lit up.

"It looks beautiful," Megan mused.

"Not as beautiful as you," Wally flirted earning a glare from Conner.

"It's the holiday can you ever stop flirting," Artemis asked putting her hands on her hips.

"It's a romantic time of year though," Wally defended.

"That's your whole year., Robin added. As Wally was going to counter the computer announced someone's entrance.

"Zatanna!" Robin said excitedly.

"Hey guys," she said coming over to the group.

"What are you doing her?" Robin asked then caught himself. "Not that you need a reason." He put up his hands as a sign of apology.

Zatanna smiled, "Megan invited me. Said something about Secret Santa. I didn't miss it, did I?"

"Secret... Santa?" Conner asked.

"No you're right on time." Megan said cheerfully.

"We're doing secret Santa?" Wally asked before jumping in the air. "Yes! I know who I want!"

"We all know who you want," Artemis crossed her arms. "But lucky for Megan it's the luck of the draw." Robin chuckled at this.

"Anyways," Megan said grabbing a bowl full of papers off the table next to her. "Everyone grab a paper and if you get yourself put it back."

Artemis sighed, but picked anyways. Everyone grabbed a slip; only Robin had to choose again and when he did he smiled extremely. 'Well I know who he's got,' Artemis thought to herself then looked at her slip. She groaned inwardly as she saw the name scribbled out on the paper.

She looked around trying to decipher who everyone got. Kaldur and Megan she couldn't tell because anyone they got would make them happy. Conner obviously didn't get Megan because he was staring intensely at the paper rather than smiling. Wally surprisingly wasn't having any reaction. He had put his name in his pocket along with his hands and was just rocked back and forth on his feet. Zatanna would probably tell her later who she had so it didn't really matter.

Megan tucked the paper away before speaking again. "So on the 24th we're going to have a Christmas party for the team here. We'll exchange gifts then. Oh and spend no less than $10 for gifts." She smiled and everyone nodded. "Well I have to put another pan of cookies in the oven can the rest of you decorate the halls and by the zeta tube?"

Everyone nodded before she and Conner disappeared. Zatanna went over to Artemis who was taking a wreath out of a box. "So who did you get?" She asked the blonde.

"Aren't we not suppose to tell?" Artemis teased. "Can you grab the latter?" The magician did and followed Artemis down the hall.

"Oh come on," Zatanna pestered. "If you tell me who you have I can help you shop."

"Who said I was going shopping," Artemis said stopping at a door way.

"How else are you going to buy a gift?" Artemis went up on the latter while Zatanna held it. "I know you aren't really into the Christmas thing, but come on. Shopping is more fun with friends. I'll even have Megan come."

"Fine. Just hand up the wreath," Artemis said.

"So you'll go?"

"I don't even know if who I got deserves a present." Artemis put the wreath on the door. After straightening it she carefully started descending the ladder. Before she was all the way down a gust of wind blew passed dragging some green sparkling garland behind.

Artemis fortunately didn't fall, but instead was now tangled in garland. "Wally!" She screamed.

The boy skidded to a stop a couple feet away to see who called him. Seeing a very angry, garland wrapped Artemis he turned around and went to the girls.

"Sorry," he said as she jumped off the last few steps of the ladder.

"See what I mean," Artemis said to Zatanna while trying to undo the garland.

"Here let me help," Wally said grabbing some and pulling it over her head only to get it stuck on her ponytail.

"Haven't you done enough?" Artemis seethed.

"Oh so that's it," Zatanna said suddenly making the two look at her. She smiled embarrassed. "Sorry took me a minute." Artemis rolled her eyes.

"Just get me out of this," she shrugged against the vine.

"Ok Ok," The dark haired girl pulled part of the garland only to make Artemis trip. Lucky for her Wally was there to catch her.

The close proximity made Artemis flush as Wally untangled the garland from her hair. Only when the vine was out did Wally notice how close she was. He suddenly turned red and let go of her. He cleared his throat a little before quickly excusing himself and running away.

"Man he's ridiculous," Artemis stepped out of the garland around her feet.

"Oh please he's cute in an awkward sort of way." Zatanna laughed. Artemis frowned.

"Let's just get this garland up."

"Fine. Fine."


Robin was sitting on the couch going through codes on his laptop when Wally came in and plopped down beside him. "She's going to kill me one of these days," he wined.

"What did you do?" Robin didn't need to ask who cause with his best friend the only time he referred to a girl and killed him was with Artemis.

"I accidently wrapped her up in garland," Wally said quickly.

"How?" Rob giggled.

"I was putting up the decorations at super speed and wasn't paying attention." Robin nodded.

"So what are you getting her for secret Santa?"

"How do you know I have her?" Wally questioned loudly.

"Dude I can hack a super computer in five minutes and you want to know how I know that your little slip of paper says Artemis on it? I'm insulted," Robin continued typing on his key board. "Plus I looked over your shoulder earlier."

"Dude!" Wally exclaimed.

"Yeah. Yeah. So what are you getting her?" The shaded boy turned to his best friend.

Wally sunk back in the couch. "Not a clue. What do you get a she-devil like that?"

"Hey why don't you come to Gotham later this week and I'll help you pick something?"

"Ok sounds better than trying to do this on my own." Wally sighed. "Oh by the way! Who do you have?"

Robin smiled love-sickly. "Not telling."

"Well that face tells it all." Wally smiled. "Damn she's lucky. You're going to buy something really expensive."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Robin turned away.

"Yeah, yeah. Sure." Wally crossed his arms while smiling triumphantly. There was a short silence before something engulfed Wally's head. He tried turning to look behind him, but was clawed at with sharp pine needles. He noticed a bright red bow in front of his face and realized he was wearing a wreath as a scarf.

"Hey guys what are you talking about?" Zatanna came out from behind the couch as Artemis sat on the arm next to Wally secretly laughed at him.

Robin looked over at Wally who was about to kill a musing Artemis. "Nothing." Rob closed his laptop. He stood, yanked the wreath off Wally and pulled him up.

"Dude?" Wally said rubbing his face.

"We have to go. See you guys." The girls watched as the boys left.

"What's wrong with them?" Zatanna asked.

"What isn't?"


So... How was it? Look out for next chapter.
