A/N: Okay so my friend loves ArtemisxKid Flash (even though Artemis isn't on the show yet, but whatever) and she made me love it too. So, she wrote a fanfiction for them but she's too shy to post it. I told her I'd write a One-Shot for them so that she wouldn't be the only ArtemisxKid Flash on their. Well, thatnks to my stupid brain full of stupid ideas, this one-shot very quickly became a full-length chapter story. So I hope she appreciates this because instead of doing homewrok I'm writing this. =p

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the I did, I would have enough money to create my own personal Kid Flash

Review please :) I don't care if you flame. Bring it on!

#1: You're So Damn Persistent

How did she always get stuck in situations like this? It was always with HIM too! Obviously fate enjoyed playing twisted games with her by permanently making the young hero the exasperated babysitter to an annoying speedster.
Artemis supposed that it was her own fault. She had allowed herself to be dragged to the mall by an over excited Kid Flash so he could buy his stupid video was just that he could be so...persuasive? No, more like frustratingly persistent. He was like a three-year old kid for God's sake!

That morning, she'd arrived at Mount Justice at the early hour of seven in the morning for an important meeting between the team and Batman. Unforunately, the moment she got there she found out that the Dark Knight had been called away because he had 'business' to take care of in Gotham. So he had left in a hurry, with Robin not far behind.
That left the five of them, Artemis, Kid Flash, Super Boy, Miss Martian, and Aqualad alone at headquarters feeling very annoyed that they'd been abandoned for a few thugs in Gotham, when Kid suddenly asked, "So, anyone want to hit the mall?"

Immediately everyone cringed. Going to the mall with Wally meant having to deal with his twitchy behavior. He was a pain to browse through stores with because everytime he lost interest in something he'd rush over to a completely different store. In the food court, he'd flirt with every pretty girl while proceeding to shove every scrap of food he could afford down his throat. Not to mention his low tolerance for waiting in lines.

Naturally, no one volunteered.

They all knew the former sidekick would pick out one of them to beg until they agreed to accompany him, so they raced to come up with excuses.

Megan claimed that she had left a batch of cookies in the oven and that she didn't want them to burn. (Artemis knew that the real reason the alien didn't want to go was because there was a "new" episode of "The Brady Bunch" was on. the show had actually become a favorite of megan's after watching it to study human culture.)

Kaldur had a sparring practice with Black Canary that he did NOT want to miss. (They all knew what happened if you missed practice with the demon trainer from hell!) Superboy...well, he just didn't want to. The clone said that he hated the mall and Kid Flash knew better than to make Conner do something he didn't want to do.

Guess who was left? That's right, Artemis.

Granted she was just as stubborn as Superboy but, Kid Flash knew her level of tolerance was shorter than the Boy Wonder.

Wally glanced over at the archer and saw that she was in her usual "back off" stance, with her arms crossed over her chest, facing away from him, but he wasn't phased. He seemed to be the only one who wasn't bothered by "Arty's" tough behavior. He didn't think Artemis was so bad, she just had a lot of issues and had built up a lot of walls around herself. Lucky for her, Wally was a master at breaking down walls...metaphorically that is.

The red head gave her his best puppy dog stare, "Arty, have I ever told you that you are my best best BEST friend?"

Artemis only rolled her eyes at his immature antics. She gave him a sideways glance and mumbled, "I thought that was Robin's burden to bear. And don't call me Arty!" She started to strut away from him but, obviously the speedster followed like a lost dog. One that Green Arrow's niece would not have a problem kicking.

"C'moooooooooooooon!" He whined. 'God, could he be more of a child?' the blonde thought to herself. She continued to ignore him, only now he was repeatedly crying, "please please please..." and it was REALLY starting to piss her off. Her quick graceful steps were starting to turn into heavy stomps as his voice grew whinier.

Artemis gritted her teeth and turned around sharply to face the green-eyed teen. "Alright, listen close becaus eI'm only going to say this once you puny, pathetic, sorry excuse for a human being,"

Kid froze. He enjoyed bugging her but when Arty went into badass mode, you really needed to fear for your life.

The female archer growled, "I won't go. Do you understand that?" He didn't answer. "I'm. Not. Going! Nothing on God's green Earth, not theives, not aliens, not even fucking vampires, could make me EVER want to go ANYWHERE with a slimy little weasel like you!"

They just looked at each other after that. Cold blue holding deep green in a strong battle of wills. The two teamates did this often; seeing who would break first. Their personalities clashed far too much. Her stubborn nature and his persistency were the closest things they had to an emotional connection. It was this that made it clear to Artemis that they would never-could never- be anything more than teammates.

Wally held her glare, but his lips twisted into a vicious smirk. One that gave Artemis a bad feeling. He had something up his sleeve, and she didn't want to know what it was.

She slowly turned around and, once again, walked away from him, hoping that Kid would have the decency not to follow.

She was right, of course, because he stayed right where she had left him, but his green eyes were burning into the back of her blonde skull.

That's when he said those words. THose five ugly words that stopped Artemis in her tracks. That made her give up all hope and accept the fact that he'd actually won.

"I'll but you ice cream!"

A/N: Okay first of all, yes I know this is a crack pairing and will probably never happen. Obviously if I cared I wouldn't have posted this. so flamers will be accepted and laughed at so XP. Also yes I realize my use of punctuation is horrendous so I apologize for all mistakes that I know are in here. Hey, it's fan fiction it's not supposed to be perfect...right?

anyways...

To those of you who are actually going to read this, I welcome you. There will most likely be 10 chapters (Duh, =p) and I will try to update as fast as I can. I'm actually really excited because this is the first chapter story I plan to stick with. Snaps for me! =DD

Please Read&Review =DD
