A bunch of Spitfire one-shots (maybe some will be interconnected, I don't know where I'm going with this yet)
They'll be from different, interesting (hopefully) perspectives. For instance, this one-shot is from the POV of the Boy Wonder, because he is purely awesome. Don't you agree?
Some will be funny, some will be romantic, some will be deep (or as deep as I can manage). It all depends on my mood, but you'll be able to tell from the title where I'm going with the writing.
I do not own Young Justice yadda yadda yadda…
Please review and leave suggestions for POVs, storylines, etc. I'd love some feedback. It makes me work faster.
Peace, Love, and Happy New Year!
I Am Above All These Silly Mind Games
15:00. Happy Harbor, Mount Justice. Loud arguing. Can't concentrate on me time. Slightly annoyed. Considering returning to Wayne Manor.
"Do you have to pretend you know everything?" Artemis quipped, narrowing her eyes and clenching her fists. I could tell she was putting in a real effort not to kill the redhead inhaling a bag of Doritos on the couch to her left. "You're not as smart as you think you are, and your overconfidence is getting on my last nerve."
"As a matter of fact I do know everything," he shot back, not even bothering to turn his head and look at her as he picked a second bag of chips off the coffee table. "Or, at least, most things. You were solving those chemical equations wrong. I taught you how to balance them correctly. It's not my fault your chemistry teacher is ignorant and doesn't recognize the up-to-date abbreviations I showed you. Really, he should be fired if he can't keep up with modern science."
"He's eighty-frickin'-years-old! I just wanted you to show me how to balance a simple 10th grade level equation, not work on new chemical compounds for NASA!" Artemis screamed, pulling Wally up from the couch by his collar forcing his eyes to meet hers. Both their faces were flushing and KF's eyes were as wide and I'd ever seen them, stricken with terror.
This was it. He was a goner for sure. I chuckled. Fitting that Wally should meet his end at the hands of a girl, especially this girl. Well, it was nice having him for a best friend. Too bad, he was a real pal…Hmmm I wonder how Conner feels about Call of Duty?
"What do you want me to do about it?" KF asked, quietly, his collar still clenched in the fists of the blonde holding eye contact with him.
"I want you to apologize" Artemis muttered, refusing to loosen her grip on him.
The air was getting pretty thick in the living room of Mount Justice, and Wally and Artemis's breathing had become fast-paced and irregular, like they were being suffocated. You could cut the sexual tension in here with a knife. I mean, come on! I'm thirteen, and I see it. I don't understand how they don't. And all the while I'm just trying to watch Toddlers and Tiaras, and enjoy my life. Artemis and Wally were preventing this. I could attempt to mediate their argument, or at least suggest they move their lovers' quarrel into the other room. But they're ignoring me. I doubt they even notice I'm here.
"Apologize? For helping you? No way!" KF spat back.
I had now turned my attention to the pair completely. Toddler and Tiaras would have to wait. I couldn't hear it, and I don't think I'd ever seen these two maintain physical contact for so long. I was interested. Maybe they were about to go at it right in the middle of the living room and I, Robin the Boy Wonder, would win my bet against Kaldur. I bet that the two would be sucking face by the end of the school year. Aqualad had his money on anytime this summer or later. Kaldur was crazy. There was no way KF could go another four months without jumping Artemis. He doesn't have that kind of self-control.
"Hey, are you crying?" KF whispered, tilting his head and tentatively placing his hand on her shoulder. He wasn't imagining it. There were tears falling from the corners of the fearsome archer's eyes.
"No!" Artemis whaled, letting go of the redhead's collar and taking a step back. "Look, I just can't afford to get a C in chemistry. I'll loose my scholarship, and my mom will freak out, and she's been so proud of me lately…"
She stopped midsentence when, impulsively I'm sure, KF cupped her head in his hands. I should probably leave… no, I'm just going to continue trolling.
"Then I'll fix it," he said, eyes narrowing as he stroked a loose strand of hair out of the crying girls eyes. Oh, I was so going to win this bet.
"You can't fix it," scoffed Artemis, rolling here eyes and breaking the eye contact the two had been maintaining. "How could you possibly fix it? Kill my teacher?"
"Well, I can't kill him. But I can give him a piece of my mind," KF said with a smirk. The two were standing further apart now, making room for Jesus and what not. Damn, and I was so sure they were finally going to give in to their animalist desires.
"So you're going to lecture my chemistry teacher on chemistry, the subject he's taught for forty years? I don't believe this."
"You better believe it, Blondie, because it's going to happen," he said turning around to plop himself back down on the couch. The couch I had been sitting on the other side of this entire conversation, overlooked, neglected, it's a wonder I haven't developed some sort of complex.
"That is, if you don't mind revealing where you go to school," he added, with a hopeful smile.
"For this," Artemis mused, raising an eyebrow. "It's worth it. Teleport to Gotham on Monday at 3:30 and I'll walk you over."
"Gotham? That's where Rob lives," Wally mentioned, motioning to me. Apparently, he's still aware of my existence. Who knew? "Small world." He paused, and turned yet again to the blonde. "Shouldn't you live in Star City? I mean you work for Green Arrow…"
"Don't ask questions," she quipped, as she moved towards the kitchen. From the doorway, she added. "3:30 in Gotham. Show up or I'll hurt you."
"It's a date," KF confirmed, turning red several seconds after the fact, realizing what he'd actually said. As I broke out in a laugh, Artemis smirked and disappeared into the next room.
"Yeah, it's a date alright." I mocked, patting the obviously embarrassed KF on the back. "Can you just marry her now and get it over with? It'd save me a lot of grief. Hearing you two bickering isn't good for my young ears."
"Shut up."
