My first challenge and I am quite nervous. Good nervous though :) This is for the SNAFU (Situation Normal: All Fudged Up) challenge by Cloaks and Daggers. I've really enjoyed writing this story and I hope you guys do too.

Artemis gulped as she quickly- very quickly- glanced beneath her. Her eyes snapped straight back up again as the waves ferociously slapped the rocky walls of the cliff, 100ft below. Her hands desperately clung on to the small branch that held her in mid air. Her only lifeline.

"How are you doing so far?"

Except for Wally West.

Artemis took a shaky breath in before glaring up at the red head.

"How do you think I'm doing? You ever tried hanging from a branch-that doesn't even qualify as a branch, by the way- off a cliff that's a 100ft high? Because, I have got to tell you, it's not fun!" She snapped her voice unusually squeaky. Under the circumstances, she wasn't surprised.

"Will you just chill! One way or another, I'll get you up here again," Wally yelled before searching for some way to help the female. Not that he particularly wanted to but, as a superhero, he kind of had to.

"Will I chill?" Artemis spluttered. "If you think it's so easy why don't you come down here and try it? I sure as hell wouldn't mind swapping places!"

Wally growled in frustration.

"What is your problem?"

"My problem? Are you kidding me?" She retorted. "If I have any problem, it's with you!"

"Listen Blondie, I am trying to help you but if you keep on squawking-"

"-squawking?"

"Yes, squawking. If you keep on doing that, then you can kiss goodbye your only saviour," Wally barked. He sighed with satisfaction after she didn't reply. "Good. Now, is there a ledge or something beneath you?"

Artemis rolled her eyes.

"Well, let's see, there's a couple of rocks, a starfish I think, some fish and-of course-a few jagged stones scattered around the fricking sea! But, apart from that, nothing at all. Just hurry up and help me!"

"I'm sorry. Since when were you the boss?"

"Wallace West!"

Wally fumed, knowing he couldn't call her by her full name since he didn't have it.

"Well, you're just going to have to hang on for a while until everyone else arrives," He stated.

"Aren't you going to do anything?" She yelled in fury, tightening her grip on the branch.

"I'm not going to dive after you, if that's what you're implying."

Artemis snorted.

"And whoever said chivalry was dead?"

Wally leaned over the side and shrugged at the female archer who had already killed him a couple of times in her head.

"At least be thankful you're not scared of heights."

Artemis stayed silent. Wally's eyebrows shot up in disbelief.

"You're not scared of heights are you?"

"No!"

He chuckled with delight.

"You're scared of heights!" He commented.

"Shut up!"

"Again, who made you boss?"

Even from the top of the cliff, Wally could hear the growl that erupted from her throat.

"I swear to God Wally, when I get out of here, you're going to think that Gotham's Arkham Asylum is the safest place for you!" She threatened before taking a quick look down again. She immediately closed her eyes and started praying that she'd be safe soon. Soon as in a couple of minutes.

"Blondie, you're going to need a better persuasion case for me to he-"

Wally was cut short as Artemis screamed. He scrambled up from his sitting position and glanced over the cliff. His face paled as he spotted her blindly grabbing at the branch as she slowly lost her grip.

"Artemis!" Wally frantically searched his surrounding areas, wondering how he was supposed to help his team mate. He came up with nothing and the panic began to speed up in his heart.

"Wally! Help me!"

His mind raced but kept getting distracted by her vice and her pleas. Later on, he described what he did next as 'a heroic impulse that could've gotten me killed along with Blondie'.

Wally West jumped over the cliff.

His ears pounded as the wind rushed past him. He squinted to get a better view of the blonde. He grabbed her arm causing her to scream even louder. They both plummeted towards the sea, his arm wrapped tightly around her waist. But they weren't focused on that part. For them, falling towards your impending doom was much more important than teenage hormones. Artemis had stopped screaming but, because the wind was dashing past so fast, he probably wouldn't have heard a bullet being shot. His eyes were unwillingly focused on the jagged rocks that were scattered around the sea. He buried his face into her long, blonde hair, not wanting his final image to be his flesh impacting against the cold waves.

"Wally!"

Artemis quickly nudged him. He glanced at her and he realised she was trying to tell him something. He frowned. He couldn't make out her words; the wind was stealing them away. She finally gave up and instead jabbed his uniform, particularly his shoulders. Wally's eyes widened as he understood what she was saying.

He held Artemis tighter to him as he mentally prepared himself to purposely crash into the ocean. He felt her hands grip onto the back of his neck and he flinched at the strength of her grasp. But he couldn't focus on those tiny details; he had something more important to get ready for.

He was going to cannon ball into the ocean.

...And I'm done. I was wondering whether it was a good idea to finish there but I had no clue on how to go on so I'm leaving the story here. Don't worry, Wally and Artemis survive (as said in the little statement from the future Wally).

Review if you liked it. Thanks :D

EDIT: Many readers have asked if I'm going to add another chapter and so, because of majority demand, I will :) Just not right now. Got to think of how they're going to get out of this little...situation first of all ;)
