Chapter 3:Paris, Here We Come

Wally was helping Artemis' the whole week and now that her leg is healed, he still won't stop dropping by her apartment to check on her. He kept doing the groceries, the dishes, wiping the windows, vacuuming the floor and cooking, and he was actually not that bad. And sometimes he would even carry her books to class for her or make her lunch!

Now, it's been two weeks since Artemis' leg was fixed and the yellow speedster was still taking care of her. Right now he was doing the dishes while Artemis was reading The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan(A/N: Awesome book AND author! I suggest you read it!) on the couch. After he finished washing the last plate, he sat beside her. He was looking at her intensively.

"What are you looking at Baywatch?" she asked as she noticed him looking at her.

"Uh, nothing. So Whatcha readin'?" he asked her.

"A book."

"Okay, well do you have anything else I can do for you?" he asked.

She was silent for a moment. "You know, you don't have to do this." She said softly.

"I know but I wanna help out. That's what I do, I help people."

"But why do you wanna help me? I mean you don't have to come over everyday anymore, my leg has been healed for two weeks now so that means I can do my own chores. So why do you keep coming back?"

"I keep coming back because I pity you. You have a job, you go to school and you save the world. And you don't even care if you have time for yourself." He stopped talking for a few seconds. "And now that I know you better, I feel bad for being such a jerk to you when you became part of the team. So, I want to make it up to you and become your friend." He explained nicely.

She was speechless. Did Wally just say he wanted to become my friend?

Bring! Bring!

Wally's phone went off and he opened the message.

KF, come 2 MJ ASAP! We have a mission from Bats. N while ur it, bring Arty w/u.

-Rob

He closed his phone and looked at the girl in front of him.

"Rob just texted me, he said Bats has a mission for us." He told her.

She nodded and went inside of her mother's room to get changed in her costume while Wally did the same in the bathroom. Right after she got out of the room, she didn't have time to think because before she knew it, she was in the arms of Kid Flash running on the streets of Gotham. She was kind off used to it now since every time they had a mission, she was with Wally. After a few minutes, they arrived at Mount Justice. He slowly let her down. She was a bit wobbly so she held on to Wally's shoulder. Together they walked to the training room, where everyone was there already.

"Well it's about time you two lovebirds arrived." The Boy Wonder said.

"Shut up Robin!" the archer and Kid Flash said at the same time.

"Do you mind if you finish discussing that after you kids finish your mission?" asked Batman.

They all nodded.

"Okay, so we've been informed that Spaortsmaster was able to save one vile of the venom when you attacked him―" he started saying but was cut off by the new protégé of Green Arrow.

"Wait, you guys fought Sportsmaster?" she asked.

"Yeah, is there a problem?" said Wally.

"No."

"Oh, and that mission was just another example of how the team doesn't need another archer." said Kid Mouth.

"Well, you certainly needed an archer when you were being hugged to death by a robot!" she yelled back.

"I could have gotten out of that mess by myself!"

"By saying that you mean that without me, you wouldn't even be here!"

"Please Artemis, Kid Flash, calm down and save it for after the mission." interrupted Kaldur.

They shut up and face the screen without making eye contact.

"As I was saying, Sportsmaster has the last vile of venom available in America. Your mission is to dispose of the venom." said the mentor of Robin.

"So, how do we locate the venom?" asked Aqualad.

"The Justice League has already done that, right now, he's in Paris, France. Now, you will have to be undercover civilians and fly to Paris in a civilian plane. When you arrive in France, you will have to check in a hotel called Hotel 55 Montparnasse. This Saturday, he is going to have a conference with Cobra and the League of Shadows will be there as well. This is a covert mission, got it?"

"When shall we leave to Paris?" asked Aqualad.

"In two hours. You will have one hour to pack your belongings and you will meet at the airport in two hours."

They all nodded.

"Dismissed."

They all walked out of the training room and walked side by side in the hallways.

"Well since I don't really need to pack, Superboy, do you want me to help you perhaps?" asked Miss Martian.

"Uh, Sure why not." He replied then they went to their rooms.

"I guess, I better get packed myself then." said Kaldur.

Before Wally or Artemis' could look and face Robin, he was gone and they could hear his creepy laugh.

"Hey, uh, do you mind if I drop you off in your house and when you're done I'll just bring you to my house and I'll pack then we can go to the airport?" he asked the only other person there.

"Why can't you just go to your house while I'm packing then you come back to pick me up?"

"Because since the airport is in Central city I have to run to everywhere and then I'll be exhausted."

"Fine."

He quickly picked her up and ran to her apartment. He let her down in front of the door. She peeked in if her mother was there and told Kid Flash it was safe to come in.

"Okay, just stay on the couch for a few minutes." She told him as she entered Paula's room.

After a few minutes, she came out with a back pack and some sort of brief case.

"What's the brief case for?" he asked her.

"It's for my bow and arrows you idiot." She said as she walked towards the white board in her kitchen. She wrote something on it and Wally was reading it in his mind.

Mom,

I'm going to be in Megan's house for a few days. I'm not sure when I'll come back yet though.

Artemis.

"Since when does your mom know M'gann?" he asked her.

"She doesn't know M'gann. She knows Megan. She thinks she works at Pizza Hut. She's kind off my 'best friend'."

"I thought Amy was your best friend."

"They're both my friends now will you shut up."

"So you ready?" he asked her.

But before she time to answer, she was already being carried by Flash's nephew to his house.

They stopped in front of a two story house. It was color beige and the door was painted white.

Wally opened the door and let her in first.

"Wallace West! Where on earth have you been? It's already dinner time!" said his mother as she entered the hallway.

"Wally, you didn't tell us you were going to have guests over." She said as she noticed Artemis.

"Actually, we have to leave. Batman got us a mission but it's in Paris. So if you don't mind giving me my passport. That would be great." He said.

"Well aren't you going to introduce us?" she asked.

"Uh, no."

"Wally!"

"Fine, mom, meet Artemis. Artemis, meet mom. Done. Now can you please give me my passport!" he cried out.

"Wait, the Artemis?"

"What are you talking about, she's the only Artemis I know! Unless you count the Greek goddess of the moon!" he said.

"Wally, be polite. Your Uncle Barry and Aunt Iris are here. Say hello and introduce them to her."

"Fine!" he led the way to the dining room where everyone was sitting.

"Hey you guys." He said half heartedly.

"I see you've brought some company." said the current Flash.

"Yeah, I bet you already know her anyway." He said.

"What do you mean?" asked Wally's dad.

"This is Artemis. The niece slash protégé of GA." explained his son.

"We have a mission in Paris and we have to leave in about an hour so please tell mom to give me my passport." He said.

"Mary, just give him the passport."

Mary handed the passport to Wally.

"I'm gonna start packing." He said.

The two teenage superheroes entered his room and to Artemis' surprise, it was clean.

"Wow, I didn't know you could clean your own room." she said.

"My mom forces me to clean it and that's where the super speed is very useful." She giggled as she sat on his bed.

After a few seconds, Wally finished packing his things in a back pack and ran down stairs to the kitchen. And Artemis quickly followed. She went down stairs and passed by Wally's parents and entered the kitchen.

He turned around to see Artemis.

"Okay, I'm all set." He said.

They walked outside to where the adults were talking.

"Bye guys!" he said as he carried Artemis bridal style and left the house.

After a few minutes, they arrived at the airport to meet everyone else.

"Do you guys have your passports?" asked Robin.

Artemis and Wally nodded.

"Okay then. Here are your passports." He told M'gann and Connor as he handed them 'passports'.

They were about to enter the plane when Robin gave then their boarding pass. Artemis looked at her seat number. Great just what I needed. She was going to sit beside Baywatch for 10 hours straight.

They entered the plane and sat to their seats. M'gann was beside Connor; Kaldur beside Dick and Artemis beside Wally. As the plane started to leave the ground Kid Mouth looked at Artemis.

"Paris, here we come." He said.
