Artemis walked into Mt. Justice finding no one around and grinned, perfect chance for some peace and quiet. She settled on the couch prepared to fully immerse herself in the teenage pastime of scrolling through social media for hours when the zeta beam made an announcement.

She huffed and let out an annoyed sigh so much for her alone time. She waited for some sort of comment and heard nothing letting out a shrug she turned back only to have Wally sitting by her. She looked up at him in confusion as grinned at her.
"Do you believe in love at first sight or do I have to walk by again?
Artemis blinked at him for a couple of seconds mouth open in shock had Wally just hit on her? She pinched herself subtly finding out she wasn't dreaming. When that sunk in she snorted abruptly before she broke down in laughter. Of all the pick up lines….
"Somebody sure is full of himself."
Wally the narcissist merely grinned at her and preened.
"What can I say it comes naturally."
Artemis rolled her eyes scoffing as she got up and walked away ignoring Wally'sshout of how there was more where that came from. She doubted it.
"Your hand looks heavy. Let me hold it for you."
One second Artemis was sitting on the sidelines watching Boy Blunder get his butt whooped by Black Canary and now she was being accosted by one annoying ginger. Apparently, now that Megan got herself a boyfriend she was no longer expected to suffer through said ginger's cheesy pickup lines.
She flushed upon realizing everybody was staring at her even Black Canary had stopped watching the two of them with an amused glance great. Robin was snickering under his breath the little troll while Megan was smiling softly most likely hiding a few giggles herself, Kaldur had on an exasperated face while Conner looked the same as he always did annoyed.
Turning to Wally she glared at him fiercely snatching her hand back upon realizing he still had it gripped in his own and glared hotly, "Your teeth look crooked. Let me straighten them for you." She threatened holding up her fist. With that being said she stalked out the room that ought to curb his enthusiasm. He'd been rejected straight up in front of everybody.
Artemis peeked into the kitchen sighing in relief on not spotting a certain speedster let it be known that she would never underestimate Wally's stubbornness again. The boy hadn't left her alone all week spotting out random pick up lines that sometimes bordered on creepy.
Sensing another presence she turned around ready to run, only to find the boy wonder grinning at her, speaking of creepy.
"Thought I was Wally." he grinned noticing her tensed stance
"Your friend is really starting to annoy me."
"Aw come on Arty we're all friends here."
"Yeah whatever"
"Glad you think so, sorry for this."
In a flash, pun not intended he had her tied to the fridge with steel ropes.
"Robin, what the hell?"
"Sorry, not sorry he's got some dirt on me that I don't want anyone finding out."
"You let me out of here right now"
"Nope, no can do. Hey if I got her!"
Artemis cursed tryIng to escape as Robin saluted her before disappearing with a cackle she was gonna skin that brat when she caught up to him.
A gust of wind distracted her from her thoughts and she ignored him as she tried to escape. What stupid pick up line was he gonna use this time.
"Bangwl'SoH."
"What?" She asked, looking up from her escape attempt to stare at him in confusion.
"That's Klingon for you are my beloved."
Artemis felt her eye twitch and her mouth quirk, but maintained her frowning disposition as she stared at him blankly before smirking, "No that's no for no."
Wally merely grinned, "That's cool there's more where that came from."
Artemis felt the smirk leave her face she was gonna kill Robin right after she got out of these bonds.
Batman was in the corner conversing with Red Tornado surely she thought that'd be enough to discourage Kid Idiot from hitting on her ha, yeah right dude had no shame in his body.
The two league members had barely started to leave the room when Wally's voice was heard as clear as day.
"You can forget about going to heaven because it's a sin to look that good."
Batman froze staring at the two of them his expression hidden behind his mask. Red Tornado's robot face also failed to show any emotion he was experiencing the rest of the room knew just exactly what they thought, hidden giggles and laughter escaping no matter how much they tried to hide it.
Artemis knew she was bright red but also knew that Kid Flash was dead spinning around she pulled out her bow and arrow taking aim relishing the fear that appeared in his green eyes as he zoomed off causing Robin to snort out loud and Artemis turned to him.
"Don't think I've forgotten about the kitchen incident."
Robin swallowed before disappearing into the darkness while Artemis turned to her teammates, "Anybody else think this funny?" Wide eyes and headshakes were what she was greeted with and she smirked to herself good.

Artemis sighed and braced herself for whatever cheesy pickup line he was gonna use no amount of threats, bribery, or blackmail had gotten him to stop and she suspected he wouldn't until he simply got tired.
Wally appeared in front of her shuffling quietly before making eye contact "Just so you know you're beautiful."
Artemis blinked in confusion eyes widening as Wally took a step closer "If I could be anything, I'd be a tear, born in your eye, live on your cheek, and die on your lips."
With that he was gone and Artemis touched her cheek a slow smile breaking across her face as she touched the spot, she could have a sworn she felt a small breeze a touch of lips.
