…

Wally is obnoxious, egotistical, annoying, ridiculing, hyper, and many other things of that nature. At least that is what Artemis kept telling herself as they made their way toward the house ahead. Did she mention that she was in his arms- way TOO close for comfort in her opinion- as he sped forward using his meta-abilities. They finally seemed to come to a stop when she felt like she was going to lose her lunch, but sucked it up and just focused on trying to keep the world around her from spinning. She didn't take his way of travel often.

"I could have easily walked myself", Artemis scoffed harshly as she leaned against a brick building for support and put her palm against her chest. Everybody in the league was busy today, along with the YJL. Things just seemed to be going on negatively in every part of everywhere, so it was one of those days where hard work was a necessity, not an option. As the Jl took care of what seemed to be the more dangerous missions, YJ was put into pairs to different seemingly low-threat destinations. Robin and Kaldur were sent to Africa thanks to a nasty drug exchange that got out of hand with some high-tech equipment.

Megan and Connor were somewhere in Chicago working on battling telepathically- controlled animals that were on a rampage amongst citizens. The Justice League were scattered elsewhere-no, everywhere would be the correct term- and Wally and Artemis seemed to get one of the hardest jobs, unknowingly to everybody else of course. They were sent- grudgingly together- to the outskirts of Pennsylvania to disarm mechanically-possessed automobiles from destroying anymore houses than the dozens already in ruins.

The new villain- a crazed, elderly cyborg addressed by Mechark- was being a big pain in the ass to say the least. As far as the JL knew, Mechark didn't exist, and if they did know, then it'd be their mission, and not put in the hands of only 2 members. It was suppose to be a simple patrol to see what was going on, but the hypothesis was so….so wrong.

At last he was destroyed, after finally overloading thanks to some handy-work from KF by sending a virus into his mainframe and Artemis setting some booby traps. It was safe to say that Wally learned quite a bit on electronics from his small, hacker best friend. They did a good job all in all, but they were injured in the end, or at least Artemis was the hour after Wally was healed up for the most part.

…..

"Thank-you is also an option-Princess", replied Wally as he took his gloves off and cracked his knuckles while looking around. Arty sent him a death glare, obviously hitting a nerve with the whole Princess thing.

He couldn't help but chuckle. "Wh-what, he giggled; does little Farty-Arty not like being addressed by something so girly and high-class?" She turned red; Wally mentioning high-class did hit a nerve, she was very low in money after all, but he didn't know that. She brushed it off.

"No dweeb, I just don't think a human Raggedy-Anne doll has any room to talk!"

"Hey", he exclaimed while folding his arms across his chest, "you started it!"

She was ready to defend herself, but other priorities were more important and she was too tired and sore to keep it up, not like he needed to find that out.

"Alright", she stammered. "I'm sorry, but we can't be fighting, there's too much going on for this stupid shit to be coming up."

Wally was dumbfounded; Artemis-apologizing first; Heh, pigs must be flying somewhere, unless she's just trying to be the 'mature one' and yadda yadda yadda!

But her features said otherwise. She looked tired, and was obviously trying to hide her pain. He knew she was hurt; he could tell from the moment they were done with their mission. Her cringes of pain and limping didn't go unnoticed like she thought. Wally was no mind reader, but he knew a good deal of first aid and human-behavior from over the years. That's why he scooped her up and sped to the closest place he could think of to treat their- no her- injuries before they became more serious. His would just heal up thanks to his powers. It was a good thing he didn't break any bones.

After a moment or two of awkward silence, Artemis finally spoke up. "Where are we anyway", she asked while at last taking in the surroundings. They were still in PA, but on an agriculture producing-area. From the looks of it, they were at an old farmhouse.

"Oh", he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly; it would've been a good idea to explain that one first and furthermost. "We're at the outskirts of PA; this is my parent's old farmhouse that we used to go to every Summer when I was a kid."

He didn't want to come here, but it was their only option. Besides, to the league-to be a superhero- you suck it up, and put personal business/issues aside to properly handle situations.

Artemis couldn't help but smile while imagining a significantly younger Wally in trousers running from chickens or something, and giggled./I always knew Kid Mouth grew up on a farm. But she shook it off as he thankfully didn't seem to notice her reaction. She was craving more info of why they were there.

"Ah, right", he mumbled. Clearing his throat, he continued. "We're here to get patched up and relax until we have any further orders. The Mountain is pretty far away from here anyways; a little rest wouldn't kill us, and I need to refuel if we want to get home. Besides, nobody is here anyway, and it's fully stocked from what I remember for emergencies."

She looked slightly impressed. Baywatch thought pretty responsibly with this one; go figure. Artemis suddenly felt a bit bad for being so harsh at first with Wally when they initially got there, but she did apologize already.

The domicile ahead looked like a 2-story classic farmhouse, with its outdated red paneling to the stables and chicken coops behind a run-down silo. "So, are we going in or what", she tentatively asked while attempting to get his attention.

He's definitely distracted and zoning out on something; he's probably just exhausted. Like he said, he needs to refuel. He realized that she was talking to him, and turned a pretty shade of red.

"Yea, let's go", Wally agreed as he swallowed hard, and they made their way to the front door some 10 feet ahead. Artemis had no idea what had gone on in that house some 5 years ago, and what Wally was going to relive once they stepped through that old doorframe.
