PLOT BUNNY I just couldn't fight it down. It kept on popping in my head. Now I know your all thinking but totallyawesome1398 you should be updating Professor Jackson or What you didn't know about love. I know I know but this wouldn't go away. I even had a dream about it. So with any luck this will be a spitfire collection because I have tons of ideas. This first one is about the new episode insecurity.

Artemis was left were she was standing, in shock by the doorway. She chocked down a sob. Just when she thought she could almost forget he was her father. What was she thinking? Of course she couldn't forget, not when she when she stared at the grinning Cheshire cat in the poster on her wall, or saw the ruts in the carpet from mom's wheelchair. These events had shaped her life. A life that she hated right now. She was a charity case at school, and on the team. Just another archer, one that wasn't even as good as Roy. Just the backup.

At one point today she thought that she might not be. When Wally had told her that she had a place on the team now. That had made her want to glow. But seeing the hurt and disappointment in his eyes had washed that off of her. Surly now he wished he could take those words back. Surly now he hated her.

She tore he eyes away from the bed and dove through the window. Doing a tuck and roll she scampered down and ran to the zeta tube nearby. She just couldn't stand being in the same house he had contaminated, not now. The cave was sterile and clean, no trace of her previous misdeeds. She needed to feel clean.

Wally let his head fall into his hands. 'Why did she do it' he asked himself over and over. The sting of betrayal went deep. He had trusted her and, lov- no! liked her it was just like! No matter what robin said. Dick could go shove one of those pointy –rang thingys up his- . He was cut off by his phone. The ringtone played and he groaned once he realized the song. It was Goddess- by amorphis. As the chorus played he frantically tried to find his runaway phone.

His hand it upon its smooth surface and he shut it off quickly. Goddess reminded him of Artemis and well, he just didn't want to think about her right now. In fact all he wanted to do was run. Wally knew he couldn't run around outside without putting on his costume and he didn't want to become Kid flash right now. He felt more Wally than ever before. This only left on place to go. The cave. He had some room there and everybody knew who he was.

He pushed open his window and dove out. Running over to the zeta beam by keystone park he felt himself be zapped to the cave.

Artemis stumbled out of the zeta beam, unbalanced because of exhaustion and shock. She stumbled over to the couch and curled up in a ball at one end of it. It was finally getting to her. The constant patrols and missions. The solid A she had to maintain in school. The fact that she fought her family on a daily basis. And now, that the one person who might have believed in her, probably hated her. She couldn't help it when a lone tear traced its way down her cheek, and when she started sobbing she embraced it with open arms.

Because of her sobbing she didn't hear the zeta tubes announce that Kid Flash had arrived.

Wally couldn't believe it when he got into the cave. At first he had thought that it was empty. Then he had heard the ragged gasps and sobs coming from the corner of the couch. He walked over ready to comfort whoever it was. He had expected it to be Megan, or maybe Dick, if Batman wasn't home and he had a nightmare. What he didn't expect was Artemis. Her hair was in disarray and sticking to her hot face. Seeing her look this fragile broke Wally's heart.

Wally's mind raced a hundred miles a minute. Why was she here? Was it because of the mission? I knew I shouldn't have been so harsh! She's just so insecure! Eventually Wally decided that all the blame lay on him. Knowing that he had to make things right with her he reached out and placed a hand on her forearm. She spun around and tried to stand up at the same time. She ended falling in a heap on the floor. Fighting the urge to laugh Wally raced around the couch and gently pulled her up.

She resumed her fetal position on the corner. Her head buried in one of the pillows. Sobs wracked her body. Wally sighed and ran a hand through his hair. Did she really take his anger this badly? Didn't she understand that he had been worried for her safety? And that once he realized that she had purposely put herself in harm's way he had been furious that she dare sacrifice herself like that? Didn't she understand that he was so protective because he had already lost her once? Wally understood the need to prove yourself. Really he did. But did she really have to go up against two expert assassins without back-up and scare him to death? Anyway she didn't have to prove anything. Or did she not realize that she was special in her own way?

Wally already knew his answer. No, she didn't know any of that. So slowly he reached out and pulled her until she was facing him. He pulled her on his lap and gently stroked her long blond hair. He noticed the way his hands seemed so large next to how delicate she seemed. He was so preoccupied with this that he almost missed her question.

" D-d-d-do you h-h-h-hate m-m-me?" she asked the words barely understandable through her sobs.

Shock ran through Wally's body. Hate her? Impossible. He couldn't summon up the one-plentiful feeling of dislike anymore. How in the world had she thought he could possibly hate her? He drew her closer still. Cradling her curled form. He whispered.

" Never." He looked down to see her fiving him a weak smile and then her body slumped as she fell asleep. Wally chuckled and let his head loll back. Falling into sleep himself.

Bamf all done. I'm going to make this a whole series i think so Reveiw, also ill come up with the next one by Friday. totallyawesome out.
