Connor was a little confused about Artemis. The first time they had met, she had called him hot. He hadn't objected because he didn't really care. But now he did. He had gotten tired of watching Artemis and Kaldur since the two had started dating. It had taken him a while to figure out that what he was feeling was jealousy. To be honest, he shouldn't have been jealous because he was still dating M'gann, but he was getting tired of her. She was to peppy all the time, and Superboy thought that Artemis was a little more down to Earth. Although when he really thought about it, it wasn't very fair to judge M'gann for not being down to Earth since she was a martian.
Artemis's laughter jolted him out of his thoughts. Of course, she was sitting over there with Kaldur. Laughing and talking to the Atlantean teen with an ease that he had never seen her have around anyone else. Connor decided to listen to what was so freakin funny.
"Really?" Artemis asked him.
"Absolutely. I could definitely take you to Atlantis. You would like it. I don't see Why it is so funny." Kaldur replied.
"I can't breathe underwater and I can't swim all that great either. I just don't know what I would do in Atlantis." Artemis smiled.
"I would help you of course." Kaldur smiled back.
Connor groaned inwardly. Of course that's what he would do. Take a human to Atlantis. It was the perfect date since humans couldn't normally enter Atlantis.
"Connor!" Connor whipped around to find Miss M staring at him.
"Yeah?" He grumbled, glancing at Artemis one more time.
"What are you staring at over there silly? I need you to help me with something." M'Gann winked.
And if you're really good I'll give you something super fun to look at. The martian said the last part only telepathically.
Connor sighed. Well, I guess it might be a good distraction. He hoped that the martian wasn't snooping.
With a little reluctance, Connor got up and followed his perky, over-excited girlfriend, leaving ARtemis and Kaldur laughing and talking without him.
"Oooooo. It's Arty and her boyfriend." Artemis heard Wally behind her as Connor and M'Gann walked out of the room.
"Jealous? After all, not like you have one." Artemis smirked as she saw Wally's small mind trying to process the insult.
"Heey! THat's not nice." He snapped.
"I don't believe her intention was to be nice. I believe it was to get you to leave us alone." Kaldur said to the young speedster.
"Well what fun would thta be. Then I couldn't bug Arty." Wally grinned, apparently thinking himself to be pretty clever.
"Oh, you do that just by existing, don't you worry." Artemis growled at Wally.
"Awwwwwww. Thsnks Arty." And with that, Wally sped away, probably to go find Robin since Artemis wasn't completely right about Wally not having a boyfriend. But of course, he wasn't gonna tell her that.
Kaldur sighed in relief as Wally left. He wanted to spend some time alone with Artemis. He hardly ever got to anymore. For some unknown reason, Connor had been lingering in the room whenever the two were there, and it was hard to talk to ARtemis when there was a pair of super-hearing ears in the room. And whenever he wasn't there, Wally was. Kaldur suspected that Wally had a small crush on Artemis, but that was to bad for Wally, because Kaldur had her, Wally didn't.
"So, anyway, about the whole Atlantis thing..." Artemis began.
"Of course, well..." Kaldur began and then stopped as Black Canary and Green Arrow walked in the room. GA crossed his arms, looking expectantly at Artemis.
"Oh! I forgot. Ollie and Dinah have something "important to talk to me about at dinner, so I have to go since I am his "niece." Artemis had already told Kaldur about her family, and he was the only one who knew about it at this point.
"Of course. Have fun." Kaldur sighed quietly. He hated her having to leave like this.
"I'll text you about the Atlantis thing." A/N:Yes Kaldur gets a cell phone too, event though he lives underwater.
Kaldur stood up and kissed Artemis's cheek and said goodbye as she walked out of the cave with her "Uncle."
