Young Justice

Never thought

Waking up I realized I was in a bed and not outside anymore. I shot up into a sitting position and looked around. I was in the cave in my room. Quickly I ran out of the room into the TV room where everyone was sitting except for Wally.

"How long have I been sleeping?"

"About four hours we got the bioship up and running when you fell asleep KF is in the med bay if you want to see him he's probably asleep they gave him a lot of meds." Robin had one of his all knowing smirks on his face but I still turned around and walked towards the med bay easily finding kid flashes room.

"Wally?" he stirred a little when I said his name but his eyes stayed closed.

I rolled a chair up next to him and sat down, slowly I took his hand he was still hot but I could tell his fever went down. I stroked my thumb over his hand just sitting there watching him until his head turned towards me and his eyes blinked open.

"Hey" he croaked his voice hoarse from sleep but he still cracked a smile.

"Hey yourself, how are you feeling?" I squeezed his hand smiling back.

"I've been better but I feel better than I did before I'm just groggy."

"That's understandable." I laid my head on my crossed arms my chin propped on my arms as I looked at him. He had more color to his face and his eyes were brighter than they were earlier. "You should go back to sleep." I whispered watching as his eyes dropped but he opened them when I said that.

"I'm tired of sleeping I've been doing it on again of again for hours now." He yawned making me laugh at him.

"Well if you didn't get yourself poisoned we wouldn't have that problem."

There was silence for awhile as we both sat there starring at or intertwined hands. My face flushed slightly to think I was holding his hand and didn't care who saw just that he was getting better.

"Are you okay?" he asked me causing me to glance into his eyes, "I know the story you told the team was a lie about your sister those knives weren't meant for me we both know if they were I would be dead."

Sighing I pulled my hand away and looked at my lap trying to stop the tears that were building in my eyes.

"They wanted me to work for them and I said no, she got angry yelling at me for leaving her to work with our dad. I didn't want the team to worry and take me off missions just because my sister and I had a family disagreement."

"But are you okay?" Looking into his eyes again I saw the sincerity in them. The question was so simple and I tried to answer it but my throat closed and my eyes started tearing up once again making me stay quiet and try to blink back the tears when one slipped and dripped down my face and onto Wally's hand that was closest to me.

"I fight her all the time, she has never tried to kill me at least not like she did yesterday. I can handle my dad doing that but Jade she was different she still cared." More tears leaked down my face I felt Wally's hand cup my cheek and wipe tears away with his thumb before he grabbed my arm and pulled me onto the bed with him.

Laying my head on his chest I cried for the first time in a very long time. I knew later on I would regret doing this but right now all I thought about was the fact that my older sister had wanted me dead if she still did or not I don't know but I knew it still hurt to think that is what she had wanted hours ago.

"Sorry I didn't mean to break down like that." I went to move but he pulled me back.

"I care about you Arty, besides you needed that cry and now we both need sleep so go to sleep." He smirked at me but laid back and closed his eyes.

"Thank you." I whispered falling asleep next to him.

"Well aren't you two cozy." I heard robin and his cackle cause me to sit up and then fall off the small bed

"Ouch, look troll wonder don't do that!" I yelled standing up and glaring daggers at the cackling boy on the other side of Wally's bed.

"Ugh… shut up." Wally's eyes fluttered open as he looked at the two of us. I immediately softened and smiled at him slightly causing him to smile back.

"Anyway I came to tell KF that he was free to leave to eat that's what Black Canary said any way and that he shouldn't move around too much but that he doesn't have to stay in bed all day."

He left then cackling all the way down the hallway.

"Good because I am starving!" Wally shouted and moved to get up wincing. "Damn I feel like I was hit by a truck." He finally stood up I noticed he only had a pair of red loose sweat pants and no shirt. "Come on lets go get some food."

He grabbed my hand and started pulling me to the kitchen "Slow down or you'll tire yourself out before you even get there." I laughed at him when he slowed down but gave me a puppy dog face.

Getting to the kitchen Wally started walking around to get food.

"Stop I'll get your food you sit down okay." He sat at the bar tapping his fingers on his legs and the table top.

"Okay here." I place cereal in front of him along with and apple and a banana. "And don't eat to fast it may make you sick again."

"Okay mom." He said sarcastically then devoured all the food in front of him.

I grabbed a bowl of cereal and started eating to he was done everything and I was hardly done at all. I felt a blush bloom on my face when I noticed he was looking at me while I ate.

"What?" I snapped when I saw him still looking at me.

"Nothing just waiting for you to be done." He shrugged his shoulders then made a face before standing up and leaning his head over the trash can hen puking up whatever he just ate causing me to push my bowl away from myself.

Standing up I walked over to him rubbing his back until he was done. He stood up and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand then got a glass of water rinsing out his mouth.

"I told you not to eat too fast." I put my hands on my hips and frowned at him as he rubbed his stomach. Rolling my eyes I walked over to the fridge and grabbed vanilla pudding and handed it to him then led him to the TV room to eat it so we could sit and watch TV. That moment in time I was shocked Wally West, Kid Flash, did something slow and not just anything but actually ate slowly.

"I'm still starving." He groaned holding his stomach "Can I have another please" he looked at me with a puppy dog pout batting his long eyelashes at me.

"Fine but if you eat too much you might get sick again."

"Yeah why is that I thought Canary said it would be fine for me to eat."

"Simple the poison is still in you, but you don't have to lay around and normally the poison makes the person sick so they can't eat and when they do it won't stay down so for someone who will eat a whole house in three seconds that can cause problems." I handed him a chocolate pudding this time and watched him eat half of it before he set it down on the table.

"I hate this." He grumbled and leaned over so his elbows were on his knees.

"Here" I placed a pillow on my lap then pulled him so he was lying down on the couch. "This better?"

He nodded his head yes as he closed his eyes and sighed. Absentmindedly I starting rubbing his stomach in circles while watching TV not noticing I was doing it until he laughed slightly when I hit a ticklish spot on his side.

"You ticklish?"

And with just those two words a war broke out.
