Artemis and Wally sat on either side of the counter in the cave staring extremely intensely at each other as Dick walked in the room, dark shades covering his eyes/identity. They were the only ones in the cave.
'Staring contest.' Dick assumed. He slowly made his way towards the kitchen, lowkey wanting to hope that the two other people in the cave were too occupied in their staring contest to notice the Boy Wonder.
"Hey, Robin." Wally and Artemis said in sync but continued to 'stare' at each other. They glared. They saw Dick walk in with their peripheral vision.
'So much for scaring them.'
Wally's and Artemis' eyes thinned like they wanted to blink, or wished that either of them had heat vision to burn the other's skull. Dick couldn't tell the difference.
Dick went beside the counter so he was in between the two teens in front of him. Dick thought of something that would completely piss the both of them off as he did his signature smirk.
"Rob I swear if you do anything to make either of us blink I swear I will murder you in your sleep." Artemis threatened.
"Yeah. I'll gladly help her too since I actually know where you live." Artemis' eyes widened.
"You know where he lives?"
"The benefits of being his best friend." He smirked. Artemis' and Wally's eyes were watery.
"So you know his identity?"
"It's a given."
"What about bats?"
"What about bats?"
"Wouldn't he care?"
"Care to elaborate?"
'I think it's time I intervened and throw the both of them off.' Dick thought to himself as he continued to grin.
"I don't like that face he's making," Artemis said she was so close to blinking. It made Dick grin more, almost making him cackle.
Wally's face scrunched into a more serious one. "Neither. It's too wide of a grin. It's making him look like he was exposed to Joker's gas or something." His eyes were watering so much Dick reckons a tear was rolling down his face. "Dude why are making that face? It's scaring me and I'm not even looking at you."
Dick only smirked more, if that was even possible. He cackled. It was being suppressed for too long for Dick's liking.
"You know Artemis you are my best friend too right?" She scoffed. Her eyes dying.
"Yeah if I'm your so-called best friend then why don't I know where you live?"
"You do." Her eyes remained wide. From surprise or the fact that she was desperately not going to lose? No one knew. "You've been to my house many times."
Artemis blanked as Wally cocked a head at her. Neither had any idea what was going on in Boy Wonder's mind. Both of them were just as confused as each other.
"What is he talking about?"
"I seriously don't know."
"Both of you look at me quickly." Both resisted but did. Dick almost died at their faces. So strained and wet. Without a second thought, Dick pulled off his glasses revealing his identity.
Both Wally and Artemis blinked. Then in a split second Dick was out cold.
"WHAT'D YOU DO?!"
"I DON'T KNOW!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW?!"
"I PANICKED OKAY?!"
"YOU PUNCHED MY BEST FRIEND!"
"I PUNCHED MY BEST FRIEND TOO!"
"HOW ARE YOU BEST FRIENDS WITH HIM?!"
"WHY SHOULD YOU KNOW?!"
"I WAS HIS BEST FRIEND FIRST!"
"AND?!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN AND?! YOU JUST KNOCKED DICK - I MEAN - ROBIN OUT!"
"AGAIN! I PANICKED!"
"SO YOU JUST CASUALLY PUNCH PEOPLE WHEN YOU PANIC?!"
"SORRY FOR HAVING SURVIVAL INSTINCTS!"
"UGH!" Wally threw his hands up in the air as he started pacing around the room. He looked at Dick lying on the floor. "He's probably got a concussion now."
Artemis followed knelt beside Dick taking his arms. "Well help me take him to the medical bay."
"Just give him here." Wally picked up the Boy Wonder and super-sped over to the medical bay leaving Artemis alone for a split second before she ran behind.
She met the two there, Wally inspecting Dick making sure he didn't have any serious injuries.
"He's fine." He spoke, noticing the young archer walking into the room with a concerned face. Wally breathed out heavily.
"That's good."
There was an awkward pause between them.
"What do we do if bats found out?" Artemis asked.
"We? No, you're dealing with him by yourself."
"What? No!"
"Yeah!"
"No way!"
"You're the one who punched his protege!"
"He's the one who semi-revealed his identity!"
"Doesn't hide the fact that you punched him!"
"Ugh!" Artemis threw her hands up in the air in annoyance.
Dick started stirring and both turned their attention to him.
"Rob, you alright?" Wally asked as he helped the boy up.
"Yeah, I'll be 'right." He looked over at Artemis. "Remind me not to freak you out again."
"You wouldn't listen to me."
"Right you are."
Wally pulled Dick into a corner of the room. Dick still had his glasses off. "Why would you reveal your identity to her? And how is she your best friend too?" Wally whisper shouted. Dick was about to answer but Artemis interrupted.
"Just because you two are in the corner of the room doesn't mean I can't hear you." When Wally saw Dick look over at the archer he put his hands over Dick's eyes.
"Protect your identity." He whisper/shouted.
"Whisper/shouting doesn't help either." Artemis leaned on one leg as she crossed her arms over her chest. Wally rolled his eyes.
"Yeah anyway," Dick started as he removed the hand from his eyes. "Artemis goes to my school and knows me as Richard 'Dick' Grayson. She also knows my alter ego/superhero identity 'Robin'. Only she didn't put two and two together until I spelled it out for her a few moments ago." He said snickering.
"Hey, I had hunches." She defended.
Wally shook his head and put a hand on Artemis' shoulder. "I am very disappointed in you Artemis." He shook his head more. "Very, very disappointed."
She rolled her eyes and pushed the hand off her shoulder. "Whatever."
"So who won the staring contest?" Dick asked with a devilish smirk on his face knowing that they had to have a rematch due to the tie.
"I did." Wally and Artemis said in sync. "No, I did!"
The two began to bicker as Dick slowly backed out of the room and back into the kitchen to where his glasses were dropped and put them back on his face.
