He Always Gets There First
My first fanfiction that I wrote before Infiltrator. I know this isn't how it happened especially Kid Flash's reaction to Artemis so please be nice.
"Young Justice." Batman stated, coming into Mount Justice along with Green Arrow, Flash, Martian Manhunter, Superman and Aquaman. Robin, Aqualad, Miss Martian, Kid Flash and Superboy looked up. "You have a new member." continued Batman. A beautiful blonde-haired girl came in and stood by Green Arrow.
"This is my niece, Artemis." Green Arrow said. "Please, make her feel welcome." And with that the superheroes left.
"Hi. Welcome to Young Justice. I'm Kid Flash!" Kid Flash said, running up to Artemis. "So, what can you do, beautiful?" he flirted. Superboy elbowed him and introduced himself. Aqualad and Miss Martian followed suit but Robin just turned away. Artemis had looked flattered at Kid Flash's flirting. Robin thought that this meant that she was attracted to him as well.
"Robin, are you ok?" Aqualad called. Robin turned to see the rest of the team looking at him. He frowned and disappeared into the kitchen. He rested his head on the wall behind him. Wally is always the first to flirt with a pretty girl, he thought, the first to notice and the first to make a move. He always gets there first. Must be because he's a speedster. He sighed. He would have liked a chance with Artemis. He didn't know what it was but as soon as she walked in the room he had started to feel nervous. He knew that even if he wasn't a bit angry at Wally for jumping in first he would have been too shy to go over to her anyway.
"Robin?" a voice said. He turned quickly towards to door and saw Artemis standing there looking worried. "Are you ok?" she asked him.
"Yeah." he sighed. He didn't want to explain it to her yet.
"No you're not. I was watching you fight Amazo." she replied. She didn't believe him.
"That was your arrow?" Robin asked. It was starting to make sense now.
"Yes. Anyway, you're acting very differently from the way you were acting then. Come on, what's wrong?" Artemis asked again.
"You wouldn't understand." Robin answered. He could've explained it to Aqualad. Maybe Superboy or Miss Martian but not Artemis who he had not only just met but who he had feelings for.
"It's about me, isn't it?" Artemis said, recognising Robin's tone. "Don't worry, you can tell me. I won't laugh or be offended. I promise." she reassured him.
"I'm just a bit angry that Kid Flash always has to flirt with every beautiful girl he meets, no matter what their age. Especially when I, well..." he paused.
"Have feelings for them?" Artemis asked. Then she smiled. "Don't worry. Kid Flash may have been the first to flirt with me but you are the first to win my heart." she said to him. He looked up at her and smiled for the first time since they had met. They didn't realise that the other members had been listening in.
"That's not fair!" Kid Flash complained quietly. "He always gets there first!"
"Is there an echo in here?" Miss Martian laughed. Aqualad had asked her to read Robin's mind after he had disappeared and she had heard him think the same thought.
"Must be delayed." Aqualad said, laughing as well.
