No smut yet but dont worry ill let you know when it does...unless you all want it to be a surprise. Let me know
"Hmmm, for being an advanced cave for the Justice League they seem to be short on outlets." Wally said opening a panel on the front of the TV.
"By the way Wally, you never said why you are here at the cave, during Christmas Eve no less."
"Oh ya, well mom and dad hate cold weather so every winter for as long as I can remember they always go to some boring old summer retreat where its warm. I never go cuz there's never anything to do. How bout you? Shouldn't you be with Green Arrow or something?"
"He's spending his Christmas with Black Canary so I didn't think it would be... appropriate for me to stay with him." Artemis knew that Wally did't know anything about the other side of her life that she keeps a secret, like her mom and who her dad and sister really are. As far as she was concerned he is completely under the impression that she lives with her 'uncle' Green Arrow. A sudden feeling of guilt began growing in the pit of her stomach realizing just how much she kept from her team, from her new family, from Wally. She was able to push the feeling aside as Wally reached deeper into the panel. "And are you sure you should be messing around with that?" She said, Wally now having exposed some wires from the TV.
"Relax Arty, I'm a genius remember. I think I know what I'm doi-." Suddenly, there were a lot of sparks and Wallys body was flung back all the way into the kitchen and against the wall. After impact, Wally fell to the ground, his back up, and drifted into unconsciousness.
"Primary power systems failing. Secondary power systems online." The computer voice announced as the lights almost completely dimmed down just enough so see what was in front of you.
"Wally!" Artemis ran over to him. Seeing that he wasn't moving she turned him over onto his back and put her ear to his chest. He wasn't breathing. She instantly began CPR on his limp body. "Don't you dare die on me during Christmas you idiot. 1 2 3 4 5. Breath dammit." She yelled as she put her lips onto his and blew air into his lungs. She was about to lift her head up to push on his chest again when she felt a hand land on the back of her head not allowing her to remove her lips.
"Arrh Wally!" She yelled finally breaking free from his grip. "You scared me half to death I thought you were dead." Her face was beat red from anger and embarrassment.
"If it makes you feel any better, I think I was." He said slightly blushing.
"Well it doesn't. And what was the deal with that kiss." She said still blushing realizing that she was still hovering over him mere inches from his face. She watched as his hand pointed behind her and up at the ceiling. She looked up to see a mistletoe hanging directly above them.
"Megan." She cursed to herself. She turned back down to see Wally gazing up at her. She had never seen him look at her like that before. It was a look of desire or need. A look that she had never seen being directed at her. Her face became an even brighter red.
"So… was I good." Wally said with a big grin. That earned him another slap on the top of his head. "Owwww. Not very nice for a guy who just got over 100 volts through his body."
She got up off the floor to look around. The TV was fried, a little smoke still fuming off from the panel with the occasional sparks. "You are so dead when Connor sees the TV and he can't watch his no signal channel." She said glancing down at him.
"Well maybe he will like the blank TV screen better." He said now getting back to his feet. He looked at the TV seeing all the damage and burn marks everywhere. He looked to the left and a slight smile crossed his face. "At least the tree looks ok..." When he didn't get a response he turned his attention to Artemis who was staring in front of him. He followed her eyes to what they were looking at to find that his hands were shaking and he didn't even know it. He lifted them up to examine them. When he opened his palms, he heard Artemis gasp. His hands were covered in burns and scartches.
"We need to get you to the infirmary. Now." She said with concern in her voice. He looked up at her to see her eyes almost glazed as if she was about to cry. He threw his hands back down to his sides.
"I'm fine, really, it doesn't even hurt." He said with a fake smile.
"Your coming with me whether you like it or not." She grabbed him by his sleeve, quite gently so as not to hurts his hands and started him towards the hall that lead to the infirmary.
"Are you sure you know where your going." Wally said being lead by Artemis. "I can't even see in front of me it's so dark in here."
"Well if somebody didn't mess with things he shouldn't then we wouldn't be in this predicament, now would we. So just shut up and come with me." She said firming her grip on his sleeve. "By the way, what did the computer mean by secondary power systems?" When she didn't get a response she turned around to look at him but the lighting was so dim in the hallway that she could even see his face. "Wally?"
"You told me to shut up, remember."
"Wally!"
"Ok ok. Honestly, what would you do without me." He chuckled out. "When main power for the cave is interrupted, a fusion generator automatically activates in an emergency. However..."
"What is it?"
"That also means that were trapped here."
"What do you mean trapped?
"Well, the secondary generator is only a short termed substitute at best for the real thing. It doesn't have anywhere near enough power to keep the entire cave up and running. Basically the only things that work are the air vents, some dim lighting and some emergency equipment in the infirmary. Everything else like computer control, communications, zeta tubes and even the bay doors are all offline."
"Great, just great." She said walking into the infirmary. The lighting was at least a little brighter so they could see what they were doing.
"But, the good news is-"
"How is there any good news out of that?"
"Well if you would let me finish." He said leaning against one of the bio beds. "The good news is that when primary power is taken offline, a message is sent to the watchtower to notify them of whats happened.
"Wally, all the power houses in the league are all on holiday and theres a huge storm coming. Theres no way that anybody would be able to land a jet outside in that kind of weather."
"Haha I guess your right, it looks like we will be stuck here until the storm clears." Artemis opened a tall cabinet and started digging through it to find what she was looking for. "Arty?"
"Hmmm?"
"Not to rude or anything, but do you even have any medical training for wounds like these?" He said concentrating on his hands, trying to ignore the pain.
"I did help you when you broke your arm a few months ago didn't I?" She said still digging in the cabinet.
"Oh I almost forgot about that." He said now smiling at her. She held up a tube of ointment as she started back towards him.
"Now, this might hurt a bit." He gulped as soon as those words exited her mouth. She reach for one of his hands and turned it over. She didn't do anything but stare at the red skin at first. 'His hand is so soft.' She thought. She felt the sudden urge to run her fingers over his hand as carefully as she could. When she did, she heard him inhale. Artemis looked up at him. "Did that hurt?"
"No, actually it felt... Good." He said staring into her eyes. Her gaze went back down to his hand as she ran her fingers all along his palm to his finger tips, which seemed to had gotten the least amount of damage from the surge of electricity. She pushed his sleeve up to his elbow so she could run her fingers the rest of the way up his arm. When she reached the sleeve she went back down to his hand very very slowly.
'I don't think this is part of some medical technique.' Wally thought to himself. 'And now she's making little designs in my hand. Is.. Is she flirting with me? Nooway. This is Artemis. There's no way that she thinks of me like that. I'm the guy that made that great first impression wearing only a swim suit and tripped.'
"So what's your prognosis, doctor." He said with a small smirk. She snapped out of her trance and realized what she was doing.
"Unfortunately, it looks like we are going to have to cut them off." They both began to laugh. "Ok hold still." She said with ointment in her free hand. Wally tensed up bracing for the pain. As soon as the gel hit his hand he immediately snapped his eyes shut and hissed. "Sorry, I'll try to hurry."
"Don't be, I should have been paying better attention to what I was doing anyways. It's my fault that we are stuck here with no power."
"I guess it's not so bad, ya know, being stuck with each other. It's better than being alone." She said keeping her focus on his hands.
"Ya I guess your right." He said watching her intently on what she was doing
"There. Now I just need to wrapped them." She said heading back to the cabinet. "I know I saw bandaging tape in here somewheree..."
"Oh goodie." For the first time that night Wally couldn't take his eyes off of Artemis' ass. He had noticed how hot it looked before but now he just couldn't stop starring. As she kneeled down to the lower shelves her butt stuck out even more behind her causing Wally to blush. She finally found the tape and when she turned around she saw that his face was beat red.
"Wally are you ok?" When he looked up he saw that she was no longer bent over in front of the cabinet. Her face was only a few inches from his. 'Her perfect face. Those eyes, that nose, those lips.'
"Waaallllyyyy." She said in a long drawn out tone. He finally snapped out of it. "Im going to start wrapping your hands so don't move, ok?"
"Ok, n-no problem." He said in a whisper, barely registering in his ears. He was to busy praying that she didn't see the bulge in his pants. "Oww." He said as she wrapped his hands.
"There all done." Artemis said releasing his hands and taking the supplies back to the cabinet. Wally lifted his hands to see that only his palms had to be wrapped and his fingertips were still exposed.
"I hope the feeling in my fingers comes back soon."
"Ya me too-." She suddenly stopped her sentence. 'Now why would she want the feeling to come back to my fingers' He wondered. "So what do you say we go and find out how much damage you really caused to the place?"
Ok so there was a little bit of smutty thinking haha but for you fans of it, it will get better
Till next chap
