So, chapter 2 is up :D.

Sorry about the long wait but I am really lazy. In fact, if it wasn't for my epic (she won't let me call her my apprentice anymore) beta, Havoc, pressurizing me, I still wouldn't be done.

I would like to say thanks to Hav, (sigh) my "equal" and also a BIG thank you to everyone who has reviewed. I honestly did not expect a single review. (I'm dead serious).

So, instead of wasting time, here's chapter two. . .


Wait what? I stared into Barbara's emerald green eyes slowly, trying to see if she was joking. She was not.

"Why do you want to meet Artemis?"

Robin's P.O.V.

"Well. . .,"Babs drawled out, " She sounds really interesting. And you know, we could become friends and hang out together here in the Cave, and maybe when you and Wally are here. . ."

"Really Babs, that's what you want? All that will do is probably irritate Wally without a doubt." I stated back.

It's really weird that she wants to meet Artemis. I mean, logically - and Babs is very logical - she would gain nothing from meeting Artemis. Well, apart from the socializing and such. But still. Girls are really weird.

Babs sighed a bit before she continued. "You know last week, when Wally spread around that rumour that I was 'infatuated' with Superman to the whole Justice League. Now, I can't even go there without getting weird looks from Superman and everyone else. Even Batman gave me a weird look when Wally announced that!"

"Oh yeah, I remember that! I will never forget the look on Superman's face. It was priceless!" I glanced up at Barbara, grinning cockily at her until my smile was wiped off with her own - yet equally terrifying - version of the Batglare.

I chuckled nervously and stared down at the floor, finding myself quite impressed at Alfred's skill - the floor seemed to gleam.

I dared a look up at Babs, to see that she had decided to sit down on the side table, next to the cookies. She was staring up into the Cave's stalactites, a thoughtful expression evident on her face.

"Do you remember what happened after I frantically protested that Wally was lying about everything?" Barabara suddenly asked, turning her gaze back on me.

"Erm, no. Why? What happened?"

"Well. . ." Babs started pulling a pout on her face, "Black Canary told me it's okay to be in denial but I should try to get over my crush. And that I should also try to get rid of my Superman shrine from my locker."

"I can't believe that even B.C. is fooled by KF's prank. WAIT! You have a Superman shrine in your locker!"

"Hey! I do NOT have a Superman shrine. Your buddy Wallace Rudolph West thinks that it's funny to come to my school in the morning and stick Superman posters on my locker."

Babs looks positively fuming now. Her eyes were glowing , she was grinding her teeth and she was impatiently flexing her fingers. And she had used Wally's full name. All of the above were things she did when she was ticked off.

"But hey, didn't you get revenge by eating his mega-chocolate mousse, strawberry whipped cream and caramel coffee sundae?" I inquired, because Wally was in tears when he found out she ate it. He had been waiting for a whole week to buy it.

"Ergh, I got sooo hyper after I ate that. And how would that be suitable revenge. I only did that so he wouldn't expect anything else from me... though I will admit I was feeling a bit hungry." Babs replied, her eyes sparkling dangerously.

Well, I guess I could just introduce Babs to Artemis. It will be really hilarious to see how this all works out.

I sighed dramatically and agreed.

The sound of the the zetabeams being operated, announced KF's arrival. I was now anxious to see what Barbara would do. She wasn't spoken to Wally since the "incident".

"Yo, yo, yo, people. Wassup?"

Wally's slightly obnoxious voice echoed through the Batcave. He slowly walked to where we are, quite frustrating really, when you know how fast he can go.

"Hey Wally." Babs replied, in a sugary sweet voice. So I guess she's going to act like she had gotten over the whole thing.

I look up at Wally's face to see the relief sweep over it. He thinks that she has forgiven him.

"So guys, guess what?"

"What?" I replied simutaneously with Babs. Babs lets out a chuckle while I grin back at her. We can almost read each others minds when it comes to discreet guestures and facial expressions. I guess that's what a few years of being on covert missions together does.

"Well, I heard that Artemis is going to Gotham Academy. Same school as you guys!" Wally stated quite enthusiastically.

Babs also seemed to notice his eagerness. She rolled her eyes before saying. " You know Wally, it's weird you would bring that up."

Wally's eyes widened when she said this and he unconsciously rubbed the back of his neck. He was immediately defensive. "What are you suggesting?" Wally asks nervously, " That I like her or something? Ew, Rob, tell her she's wrong!"

I smirked at this. If KF thinks that I don't think something weird is going on between him and Artemis, well, he had another thing coming.

"I don't know, KF, you and Arty have a pretty dynamic relationship."

I turn my head away from KF's now flabbergasted face to share a smirk with Barbara. I then reached out for another choc chip cookie while Babs resumed her attack on Wally.

"So Wally. ... Artemis? I would have never have guessed, what with you talking about her all the time." Babs voice was practically dripping with sarcasm here.

"What?"exclaimed KF, "I do not always talk about her."

"Sure you don't." Babs replied nonchalantly, slowing twirling a bit of her hair.

"I don't like her! We don't even get along!" Wally had now reached panic mode. He was nervous and fllustered and he spoke way too loud.

"Sure KF, what about that time in Bialya? You two seemed to get along just fine then." I quipped, waving aroung my chocolate snack for emphasis.

"Rob, I lost my memory! I didn't even know who she was!" he yelled, while eyeing the tray of cookies quite hungrily.

"Do you want a cookie Wally?" Babs asked sweetly, reaching out to give him one before swiftly taking a bite out of it before he could get it. I smiled at Babs knowing exactly what she was doing. Distracting Wally by food and then bribing him with it. All to get Wally to admit he likes Artemis. Basically, manipulating him. That was the third thing Batman taught us to do.

"You know what guys, I'm leaving!"

With long, dramatic strides, Wally was out of the Batcave, during which he was fuming and distinctly mumbling something about "bats".

I turned around and shared a grin with Babs. This whole revenge scheme thing was getting along better than I thought.


So it was Wally who embarrassed Babs. [double points to those who guessed it ;)] He seems like someone who would do that. But I do absolutely love KF so I will try not to torture him as much as I could :P

Tell me what you think, and hope you enjoyed :)
