"Go home." Batman said to the team after everything was cleaned up and the league was debriefed. "Take tomorrow off. Relax. You all deserved it."

The team all mumbled in relief and headed to the zeta tubes to go to the cave. At some point since their first shared kiss, Wally and Artemis' hands had intertwined, but no one had said a word about it. They walked together behind the other team members, still not looking at each other. When the team decided to takes some showers before changing into civies, they simply looked at each other with blank expressions as they slowly let go of each other. They were the quickest to shower and change, and met silently right in front of the zeta tubes. Re-intertwining hands, Artemis punched in some coordinates and they walked through together.

They came out in Gotham behind an apartment complex and walked leisurely back up to a bright blue door.

"Well, this is me." Artemis finally broke the comfortable silence.

"I guess it is." Wally blushed, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, he started to feel rather dizzy and realized he hadn't eaten for a while.

"Wally, are you ok?" Artemis asked. "You look really pale."

"Yeah, I just haven't eaten in a little while." He tried to smile.

"Here, my mom always leaves food in the fridge for when I get back from missions." Artemis unlocked her door and led him inside. "I'll get you something."

"Where is your mom?" He asked as they finally let go of each other as he sat down at the table in between the kitchen and living room. It was a small apartment, but cozy.

"It's already 8am." Artemis replied as she got something out and started putting it together. "She's at work."

"Where does she work?" He asked politely as she placed a bowl in front of him and she started to make one for herself.

"She's a substitute teacher at the local elementary school." Artemis explained as she also sat down. He ate his bowl very quickly, not that it surprised Artemis.

"That was delicious." He grinned. "What was that?"

"Pho ga." She laughed. "It's a Vietnamese dish."

"Is that what you are?" He blushed furiously. "I mean, you sorta have an Asian look about you and I always sorta wondered..."

"Yes." She laughed. "My mother is Vietnamese."

"Well tell her the Pho ga was delicious." He tried to cover up his embarrassment.

"Will do." They stared at each other awkwardly as Artemis finished her dish.

"So, um." Wally ran his hand through his hair. "I should probably head home myself."

"Are your parents also at work?" She asked curiously.

"Crap." Wally jumped up. "No, my mom works from home. Uncle Barry always calls her when a missions done so I really should get back before she worries to much."

"Who's Barry?" Artemis raised an eyebrow. "The Flash?"

"Oh yeah." He blinked at her. "I forgot you didn't know that."

"Does the rest of the team?" She asked, feeling a little hurt.

"Yeah, but that was before you joined the team." He blushed awkwardly. "We sorta told stories about how we became sidekicks."

"Oh." Was all she could say.

"That was when we first started the team!" Wally said quickly. "Even before M'gan joined."

"She joined later on?" She asked, feeling a little better.

"Didn't Green Arrow tell you what happened?" He asked.

"Not really." She admitted.

"Shit, it's a really long story." He glanced at the clock. "And I really do need to go. You probably want to sleep so why don't we meet up for lunch tomorrow and I can tell you then?"

"Erm, sure." Artemis blinked.

"Do you know Martin's?" He asked. "By the corner of Gotham Academy?"

"Yes." She narrowed her eyes. "How do you know it?"

"Damn it." He groaned. "I really can't tell you that. But do you want to meet there, say noon?"

"Fine." She said after a moment. "I'll see you tomorrow at noon."

"Ok." He paused for half a moment before quickly kissing her again and running out the door.

Artemis stared at where he had been only seconds ago as she put her fingertips to her lips. After a moment she shook herself out of her haze, washed their dishes, and went to bed. She would get her questions answered tomorrow, including a few she didn't have the guts to ask then.
