Chapter 2: The Mission

They have been together for almost 2 months, ever since Artemis' beating. Wally was the only one who knew Artemis' secret and she didn't mind. He knew that her past made her upset to talk about and he respected that. Artemis was always in Wally's arms. She liked being wrapped around in his arms. She could feel the love that she had with him.

They came into the mission room where they met up with Miss Martian and Aqualad and Superboy. It looked as if Megan and Conner were fighting over her safety and all that. "Will you ever worry about my safety?" Artemis asked. Wally smiled and said, "Of course, I always have." They kissed and melted away in each other until they heard a certain interruption. "Jeez, get a room you two." It was Robin. Wally and Artemis just smiled.

"Computer, world news." They all heard as Batman came into the room. "It seems as if another crisis has struck Earth. Ships falling from the sky. It is said that the ships contain an enormous amount of bombs. This just in, The Justice League are on their way." Wally was watching as he saw his Aunt Iris report. He knew she was safe. Flash would never let her not be.

"So you want us to fight the bombs from the sky?" said Robin so enthusiastically. "Wrong, I have a different assignment for this team. Your target is Antonio Quintana. He is a major billionaire who is throwing a ball tonight in Barcelona. Your mission is to retrieve a flash drive that has the kill codes for the bombs in those ships."

"So how are we going in?" asked Aqualad. "There will be 2 of you a boy and a girl. Miss Martian's face is too exposed along with Superboy and Aqualad. That leaves us with Artemis and Kid Flash. Will this do?" he said looking at them with a sharp face. "Yes, of course" Wally said as he looked at Batman.

"You will need to get dressed up for the ball. Kid Flash in a tux and Artemis in a long dress with heels. You will need to look older as well. Alright meet back here at 4 o'clock and you will proceed with the mission."

They all departed. Wally was super excited to see Artemis all dressed up and they might even play the part of a rich couple that were together. Artemis went to her room and decided on what to do with her hair. It wasn't until Megan came and help get her ready that she stopped being so worried. "So... What's going on between you and Wally?" she asked happily. "I don't know... stuff I guess. He is so kind and sweet and loving." Megan gasped and Artemis looked at her and said, "What? What are you thinking?" Megan looked up and said, "You are in love with Wally West!" Artemis thought about this for a moment and then said, "Yeah, I think I am!"

Artemis was so happy. She finally knew her true meanings for Wally were. In the meantime, Wally was getting ready as well. He found a tux in his close and put it on. He had managed to put on everything except the bow tie. The only person he knew that could put on a bow tie was Robin and Wally didn't know where he was. He thought to himself... I can't wait to see how hot Artemis will look maybe, if I'll get lucky, maybe I'll tell her that I love her.

Wally was downstairs waiting for everybody until he saw Artemis. She was wearing a navy blue dress with silver heels. She looked beautiful. He just stared at her and smiled. "What?" she said. "Uh no-nothing nothing. It's just that you look beautiful." She smiled and said," Thank you. Oh here, let me get that for you." She took his bow tie and tied it up for him perfectly. He looked at her and kissed her. He put his hands around her waist as she put her hands on his neck and started moving her fingers across his straight red hair.

"We are all ready to g... Artemis you look great." Robin said and he couldn't keep his eyes off her. "Thanks Robin." Wally looked at him and said "Yeah thanks Rob." He gave him stern look and Robin left. "What was that about?" Artemis said to Wally. "What? He was checking you out!" Artemis chucked and said, "Oh checking me out, I see." She grabbed him and gave him a peck on his lips and said, "Let's go. We don't want to be late." Wally nodded and walked out the cave with her.

Please review. Thanks ;)
