This started as a oneshot but now will be a three or four shot.

Full Summary: After the simulation gone wrong, Wally feels conflicted. While the rest of the team is busy fighting Clayface, Artemis is undercover in Star City Prison. When Icicle Jr. is Artemis' contact and, evidently, ex-boyfriend, Wally starts having doubts about himself and his feelings for a certain blonde archer. As new information comes into the picture about the Injustice League, Icicle Jr., and Artemis' past, Wally struggles to keep control over his emotions and his big mouth.

"You are headed to Gotham where a villain called Clayface has been terrorizing the city. You are to take down Clayface while keeping in mind that you are a covert team. Do not call attention to yourselves. Am I understood?" Batman gazed around the room at the nodding teenagers, "Good. You are to leave immediately."

"Hang on, isn't Arty coming with us? She isn't here yet," Wally looked at Batman inquisitively, hoping for answers.

"Artemis will not be accompanying the team on this mission as she has her own mission to finish. It is time for you all to go," Batman swept out of the room, signaling that the conversation was over.

As the team began boarding the bioship, Wally looked at Robin. "Her own mission? What mission? And don't tell me you don't know, Rob, you always know."

Robin sighed. Wally had been… different since the simulation that had gone so horribly wrong. He acted like it hadn't affected him but the whole team could see through that façade. "You know I can't tell you. Batman will kill me," He sat down and turned to Wally, "And besides, we have our own mission to worry about."

"Please, dude. She's our teammate. We have a right to know," Wally's eyes pleaded with Robin, desperately trying to break him down. Robin sighed again and looked away, knowing that Wally would keep asking until he was supplied with an answer.

"She's in Star City, undercover. Trying to gather information about the Injustice League," He looked at Wally out of the corner of his eye, hoping that Wally would be satisfied and not ask any more questions. From the look on Wally's face that hope was in vain.

"Undercover where? Why is she the one undercover, instead of one of the more experienced members of the team like you or I? How long has she-"

"KF calm down! Artemis will be fine. She is undercover in Star City prison and she was picked because of her," Robin grimaced, knowing the next question Kid would ask, "unique situation."

"What unique situation? What aren't you telling me Rob? Why isn't one of us there as back up? Why would they send her in alone?" Wally was clearly worried and Robin could see that. Robin knew that they would land in Gotham soon and Wally would need to be completely focused, but he also knew that Wally wouldn't calm down until he got answers.

"She isn't as well-known as we are and is less likely to come into contact with someone she has put there. And -don't freak out- she has a source in the prison. One she knows personally. They've agreed to help gather Intel in exchange for a suspended sentence and protection. Batman agreed, as long as the information is good and they help Artemis keep her cover. She'll be fine, dude. She can handle herself." Rob looked at Wally and saw concern mixed with suspicion. "Come on, dude. It's Arty. She can kick your ass. Don't tell me you doubt her?"

Wally's expression darkened at Robin's words, "She cannot kick my ass! Dude, uncalled for!" Robin saw Wally's countenance change back to one of worry and thought. "I know she can hold her own, but who does she know in Star City Prison? And what did you mean, personally?" Wally stared at Robin, who was trying to avoid looking at him, "Rob? What do you know?"

Robin frowned, knowing Batman wasn't going to like this and turned back to look at Wally. "Look Wally, I'll tell you who her contact is but you can't flip out. You remember Icicle Jr.? Artemis has known him since they were kids. They're old friends. She convinced him to turn on his dad and help us gather information." Robin glanced at Wally, hoping that would be the end of it.

Wally had gone from his normal coloring to a sickly shade of white to a quite fantastic red very quickly. And, after taking a deep breath, Wally exploded, "They're old friends? He's a criminal! A dangerous one! Why is she friends with him? And how do we know we can trust him? That he won't hurt her?"

"Didn't I say that you couldn't flip out? Honestly," Robin sighed deciding to tell Wally the truth. "Artemis trusts him. That's enough for GA. And while Batman may not trust him, he knows that having him assist in gathering information is a good idea. Artemis' friendship with him is her own story and if you want to know you will have to ask her. But, we do know he won't hurt her."

"How?" Wally demanded. "How do we know he won't hurt her? That she's safe?"

"Because," Robin was beyond exasperated at this point and was through trying to spare his friend's feelings. "They dated. For a long time. With that, their friendship, and the fact that Artemis trusts him, I think we can be confident he won't hurt her." He looked at Wally, his expression incredibly serious. "I trust Artemis. Batman and GA trust her. She says he won't hurt her. She trusts him. I know you're worried but trust her, Wally. She can take care of herself." Robin looked at Wally, seeing the conflict waging inside his mind.

Robin patted Wally on the back encouragingly as the bioship began to descend into Gotham. "Now isn't the time to worry about it, KF. We have a baddie to beat."

Wally smiled faintly as the ship landed. Robin was right. And anyway, maybe beating up Clayface would make him feel better.

Next chapter will be Artemis in Star City Prison. With Cameron. I don't know when you should expect it, not really anyway. Within the next week I hope. Let me know what you thought.
