A/N: I didn't really plan on doing this. I'm going to blame Guest, andrea-ninja girl, Bayllarina, Irenerb, Player Zero, purplestar (Guest), and paineraine for leaving such wonder reviews.

Dammit Crock

Wally was still mad with Artemis. The New Orleans mission had been three days ago, but he couldn't find a way to release his emotions. It was annoying, being so mad at her. Sure, she got on his case over every little thing, but now that she did something even stupider than he usually did and he can't even confront her about it. Sure, he had told her that she had been insecure and screwed them over, but she hadn't returned to normal.

Wait, why do I care? Wally groaned, letting his head hit the counter, landing right next to this seventh sandwich.

"What's with you, Baywatch?" He looked up to spot Artemis in the kitchen, smiling. She still enjoys my pain. Wonderful.

"Girl issues," Wally said, not bothering to hide behind the Casanova bullshit he surrounded himself with. "Surprisingly enough," he added.

"What a surprise. And here I was thinking you were a bona fide Casanova. Oh wait, Conner and M'gann are together." Wally glared at her.

"Thanks, harpy. I'll call you if I ever get down in the dumps." He sat up and laughed. "Here I was thinking that you could actually help me with this dilemma."

Artemis stared at him for a second before sighing. "Fine, Wally. What's your problem?"

Wally took in a breath, hoping he didn't give it away. "There's this girl I know who's always rubbed me the wrong way, but recently I can't get her out of my mind. All of my friends and even some of hers claim that we'd be great together, but I just don't know." He rubbed his head. "She seems to hate me, but I really want to doubt it. What do I do?"

"Tell her, Kid Idiot. Worse thing that could happen is that you get embarrassed." Artemis' eyes narrowed. "What's her name? It's not like I'd ever meet her."

"Maybe it'd be best if you met her. You'd get along really well with her." Because you are her.

That's so cute Wally! The speedster yelped and fell from his stool, shocked by the Martian in his head.

Don't tell her Megan! I want to do it myself.

Ok, but I'm going to tell Zatanna! Wally groaned and rubbed his face. When he opened his eyes, Artemis was standing over him, a smirk on her face.

"What was that about, Kid Klutz?"

"Had a surprise mental visit from the resident Martian." Artemis raised an eyebrow, not believing him.

"Zatanna!" M'gann's cheery voice called out. The magician went running, not bothering to shout back. Artemis moved to follow. "Only her Artemis! We're going to talk about your love life!"

Artemis turned on Wally faster than he could run. "What did you say to her?" The archer was seething.

"Hey, Megan was the one listening in on my thoughts," Wally said, hold his hands up. "And that came out wrong."

"Do I even want to know?"

"Yes." Artemis jumped, a cackling Boy Wonder jumping past her. He grinned at Wally before disappearing.

"Now that everyone's out of our hair, tell me about this girl." Wally was surprised by both Artemis' interest and her straightforwardness. He knew there was something she was hiding, but he had yet to figure it out.

"I'm pretty sure I told you enough," Wally said, hoping to get out of it. He was half surprised she hadn't put an arrow into him.

"Have it your way, Baywatch." He watched Artemis walk off. He sighed, unsure whether he was happy with her walking away.

Wally ran into Artemis again two days later. He had gone to Gotham to hang out with Robin's alter ego, Dick Grayson. Running into the archer was the last thing he had expected, arriving at Gotham Academy. He had heard the rumors and Dick had taunted and teased him about it for weeks, but now he finally believed.

"What are you doing here?"

"What, no 'hey there Baywatch' or 'how did you find me'? I'm hurt, Arty."

Artemis glared at him. "Don't call me Arty."

"Fine. And to answer your question, I'm here visiting a friend. Imagine if Robin was a snotty nosed rich kid."

"Now that hurt, Wallace." They turned around, Richard Grayson standing behind them. "However, we should get going. Alfred won't like it that we got distracted by you flirting."

"You little troll. This is worse than that Kobra incident," Wally said. He glanced at Artemis, noticing that she was thinking. And then her mouth dropped.

"I can't believe it. I go to school with Robin." She paused, looking around. "If you're the Boy Wonder, then that means that I got a fucking scholarship from Batman." Dick groaned, his secret out.

"Way to go, Kid Idiot. Since we're all telling secrets, let me spoil something for you." Wally raised an eyebrow, thinking that he'd finally find out what Artemis' secret is.

"Wally and Artemis, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G." Dick laughed as Wally and Artemis froze, looking from each other to Robin and back.

"What's he talking about, Baywatch. You know the little troll best."

"Forget about it," Wally said. "Are we going to the manor?"

"Yes. The three of us are going to the manor." Wally whooped before realizing Dick had said 'three'.

"Really man? I've wanted to hang out with you, you know, back before the team, when Roy wore a hat and we barely knew Kal."

"Well since I'm not wanted, see you around, Dick." Artemis didn't even look at Wally and his gut fell, as if he had made a fatal mistake. He watched her take two steps before his impulsive nature took over. Wally grabbed her shoulder and swung her around to face him. "What do you want Baywa – mmpph!"

He had smacked his lips up against hers and started moving them. She remained unresponsive for a second before relaxing into the kiss. It was when her tongue glanced off of his lower lip that he began smiling.

Wally pulled away, getting a split second to watch Artemis' eyes open. The strange look of happiness on her face turned into the nastiest scowl he had seen on her face.

"What happened to that girl you told me about?"

Wally laughed. "You asked for a name and here it is: Artemis Crock." He watched the archer's mouth move, trying to speak.

"You're welcome, babe."

A/N: I have this bad feeling this is going to turn into some sort of one-shot series.
