Hey guys! I'm writing this one-shot to help me get over a recent attack of writer's block that I've been experiencing. I hope you like it, seeing as it's the first Spitfire I've ever done. Sorry if the dream isn't exactly like the episode, but I haven't seen it in a bit so I'm playing it by memory right now.
Just as an added note, this is all set after the Season One Season Finale.
Disclaimer: Last time I checked I don't own any cartoons or movies, so I don't know why anyone would think I do.

"You've been a naughty girl," said her father. "You know I don't tolerate that." "Yeah," she shot back bravely. "Me and Jade figured that out the hard way." Her father and sister walked toward her, brandishing their weapons dangerously. "Guys," she thought to the others telepathically. "Time for backup."
She knew what happened next. The team would come and help her, just as they had done in the real Santa Prisca. Then why aren't they coming? she thought to herself. The came almost as soon as I called then. Her father and sister just came closer and closer, and suddenly her father swung the mace and…
Artemis shot up in her bed, sobbing.
She remembered when she was a little girl, before her mother was in prison. She would come into Artemis' room with a cup of hot chocolate when the girl had nightmares and hum to her daughter quietly until she fell back to sleep. Unfortunately, she was now in Mount Justice, so her mother wasn't there to soothe her anymore.
She sat there, sobbing for a few minutes before her door was opened gently. "Artemis?" said the obviously tired red head standing there. "What's wrong?" She looked up at him, her eyes red from crying. Seeing she was distraught, he walked over and sat on her bed net to her.
"Do you need me to hold you?" Wally asked. She nodded slightly at her boyfriend, who wrapped his arms around her protectively, letting her rest her head on his shoulder and cry. "Dad… Jade… Nobody helped…" she said incoherently. He placed a hand on her back, tracing soothing circled. "Shhhhhh," he said. "It's okay."
They simply sat there for a very long time until gradually her sobs became hiccups and she sat up. "Sorry," she said. He smiled down at her. "It's okay," he said. "You don't have to apologize." "I woke you up," she pointed out. "True," he said. "But truth be told, I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be at three A.M."
She smiled. "Yeah," she said, yawning. "But still I think it's best if we both get to sleep. Knowing Batman, he'll have us up at the crack of dawn to do some crazy training exercise. God knows we'll need our energy for that." "Agreed," her boyfriend answered, nodding.
He began to get up, but suddenly her grip on his arm tightened, and he looked back at her. "Do you mind, um, staying here tonight?" she asked him, blushing. He smiled at her kindly. "Of course," he said. She scooted over, giving him room to lie down beside her, and he shifted himself under the covers.
He put his arm over her waist as she turned so that her back faced him, curling into him. "I love you," he whispered, positioning his head on her shoulder. A tingle went down her spine as she felt his breath on her ear. "I love you too," she sighed.

"Robin?" Zatanna called, coming into the living room of the cave. Her boyfriend looked up at her from where he was looking at his laptop and smiled. "Hey, Zee," he said. "What's up?" "Do you know where Artemis and Wally are?" she asked. "I haven't seen them all day, and Artemis never sleeps in past nine in the morning."
"Yeah," said Robin. "I know where they are. You wanna come see?" Zatanna nodded and came over to where her boyfriend was seated on the couch and sat down beside him. He gestured that she should come look at the screen, and when she did she gasped at what she saw.
The screen showed what Zatanna recognized as Artemis's room. It seemed just like it usually did: tidy floors, filing cabinets and drawers closed and tidy, and the desk was perfect. Zatanna didn't understand what was so important- until she looked at the bed.
On the bed was Artemis, still sleeping. This wouldn't have been anything unusual, had it not been for the fact that Wally slept net to her, his arm draped over her waist as she cuddled against him under the blanket. Zatanna gasped. "Wait a minute," she said. "Did they…?"
She trailed off, knowing that her boyfriend would understand what she meant. He looked at her and shook his head, rolling his eyes. She looked back at the screen and let out a relieved breath. Artemis had moved, moving the blanket off of her. She was wearing her pajama shorts and tee shirt, just like always.
Once she knew nothing had happened, Zatanna burst out laughing. "They are never gonna live this down," she said through her giggles. Robin chuckled as well. "We can't say anything about it though," he said. "They are dating. If this had happened a month ago, then we could give them heck, but now…"
"Yes we can," Zatanna laughed. "After all, how do you think Ollie is gonna take it if we show him this?" Robin grinned. "I don't know, but I definitely wanna find out."
Dun dun dun! How did you like it? This is my first Spirtfire, as well as my first Young Justice fanfiction. Review and tell me how I did and if I should make this a series of one-shots. I might do it if you guys want me to.
