Spitfire Picks up Lian

"Ugh! What's taking her so long?" Wally complained, his elbow rested on top of the car windowsill with his face pressed against his palm.
"You're one to talk. We were supposed to be here 10 minutes ago, but you just had to use the restroom." Artemis said, arms crossed in a brooding manner and rolling her eyes into the window, which Wally took notice of urging him to rebuttal.
"Hey! I'm a speedster meaning super-fast metabolism; and super-fast metabolism means super-fast digestive system which means I need to poo-"
Wally stopped his rant when two infamously terrifying gray eyes glared at him with a look he'd seen many times which always means, 'shut up before I kill you'.
Artemis was finally given the gift of silence, but only for a few brief moments. Not even 10 seconds later did she hear her red-headed boyfriend complain some more.
"If we're late, shouldn't she be here then?"
"It's like 100 degrees out, she probably went inside." Artemis responded disconcertedly, her gaze still out the window.
"Then how will she know if we're here or not?"
"What do you mean? You called her to tell her we were coming." Artemis stated matter-of-factly.
"I did?" Wally asked confused.
Artemis' eyes darted back to Wally.
"I told you to call her to tell her we were coming! How could you forget! Jeez Wally, sometimes I just don't know what to do-"
Bzz, Bzz, Bzz.
"Hold that thought." Wally said, raising his index finger while rummaging his pocket for his phone.
"Hello?" Wally answered, pressing the phone against his ear.
"Hey Uncle Wally, where are you? Are you here yet?" came the lighthearted voice of his beloved niece – Lian.
"Hey kiddo! Yea, we're here. Just outside-"
"Wait, we?" Lian asked surprised.
"Oh yea, I brought your Auntie Arty along too, cause' you know how much of a ray of sunshine she is." Wally replied, giving a flamboyant smile and wink at Artemis who just gave a sarcastic smile.
"Hehehe, I know. Alright, well I'll be right out then. See ya!"
"Alright, see ya!"
Wally hung up the phone while smiling victoriously at Artemis who couldn't help but let a smile form on her face while she shook her head at the silliness and stupidity of her boyfriend.
"You know Artemis, I've been thinking. We should have kids." Wally said.
Artemis, knowing Wally's jovial ways just thought he was joking, but quickly realized he was being serious when there was no sarcastic remark following his sentiments.
"You can't be serious. Us. Have kids?" Artemis said with a bewildered look on her face.
"Hundred percent babe. Think about it. We've babysitted Lian since she was a baby, and now she's 13-"
"14."
"Yea, that's what I said, but think about it! A bunch of little Wally's and Artemis' running around and-"
Wally paused in his persuasive speech when he saw Lian talking to a boy in front of the school.
Wally quickly ducked down, pulling Artemis down with him.
"What are you doing Wally!" Artemis said annoyed, while forcing herself back up, only to be pushed back down again by Wally.
"Artemis stay down! They're going to see us!"
Artemis, swiping Wally's arm away, sat back up to look out the window.
"Whose going to see us?"
Wally tried to push Artemis back down again, but his efforts were soon put to an end when Artemis bended his fingers back.
"Lian and that boy are going to see us!" Wally exclaimed while rubbing his fingers.
"Are you kidding me? Who cares if they see us?" Artemis replied, maneuvering her head to get a better view of the pair.
"What do you mean 'who cares if they see us'! We don't know their relationship! We don't want to think we're spying on them."
Artemis let out a scoff.
"Jeez, and you want kids. Wally, they're probably just friends, and we're not spying on them." Artemis said with her hands cupped above her eyes like binoculars.
"I'm calling Roy."
Wally pulled out his phone and began searching for Roy's number.
"Why are you calling Roy?"
Wally, now holding the phone to his ear while the call rings, responds, "Because, he would want to know that his daughter is in a relationship.
"Wally! They're just friends! Ugh, nevermind, you're hopeless." Artemis said defeatedly, returning back to her previous position.
The phone stopped ringing, and a creaking replaced it, followed by an out-of-breath Roy.
"Hello?"
"Hey Roy! It's Wally."
"Oh, what's up Kid? Aren't you… ugh… supposed to… ugh… be picking up...ugh… Lian?"
"Yea, we're outside the school, but anyway, that's not why I called you. She's talking to some boy and-"
Wally was interrupted by the creaking noise that he had heard a couple of seconds ago, and it had noticeably gotten louder… and faster.
"Uhh, Roy? What are you doing?" Wally asked hesitantly.
"Ugh… Nothing Kid…ugh… just tell me...ugh… what you wanted to…ugh… tell me."
But before Wally was able to answer, a woman with a Vietnamese accent could be heard screaming through the phone.
"Oh my god Roy! Hang up the phone now!"
"I gotta go Kid."
Wally let the line stay for a couple more seconds, allowing repetitive, high-pitched moans of pleasure and masculine groans seep through to his ear.
"What'd he say, and did he tell you why he couldn't pick up Lian today?" Artemis asked, still 'observing' Lian.
"Nothing much, and yea. He's busy doing something right now."
"Doing what?"
"Umm…you know. Just some foreign affairs."
"Foreign affairs? With which country?"
"Oh you know. Vietnam."
"Hmm, I can see that. They have been having trouble with illegal distribution of guns over there."
"Uh huh."
"Hey, he's pretty cute." Artemis said.
"Who's cute?" Wally asked suspiciously with a hint of jealousy.
"No one, hey Lian!"
The car door opened and entered a gleaming Lian.
"Hey Aunt Artemis!"
"Hey sweetie! Sorry about being late. Your Uncle Kid Idiot over here just had to use the restroom." Artemis said giving Wally a teasing glare.
"Hey, I already explained to you the struggles of being me. I have a hard life." Wally said jokingly.
"It's alright, I didn't mind." Lian assured.
"See, she didn't mind Arty." Wally said while driving forward. "And hey, don't you think I've outgrown that name. I'm not Kid Flash anymore nor am I kid."
"Well for one, you still act like a kid and you're an idiot, so therefor you're still Kid Idiot." Artemis replied confidently, while Lian giggled in the back.
"You see what I have to deal with Lian? No respect. Sometimes I wonder why I even married this spitfire."
"Oh really? Maybe you should've married that one brunette you were gawking at yesterday!" Artemis retaliated back, her tone obviously angered.
"I already told you! I was looking at the vegetables she was picking at. I was really hungry that day!"
"Mm-hmm, sure you were! Just like you were looking at the diapers she was choosing from. What, your stomach feeling upset that day too?" Artemis spat, rolling her eyes.
"I was looking at the diapers! I just told you didn't I? I want to have kids!"
"Wally we're not having kids! It's already bad enough having you around to take care of, but now you want kids? You can't even take care of yourself!"
This went on the whole car ride back to Roy's house, but Lian didn't mind. She was used to it and she knew it was because they were madly in love with each other.
