Revelations

Wally was unsure of what game Robin was playing at when the Boy Wonder told him that Artemis had something to tell everyone. He had shrugged off the telling part, assuming she was coming clean to the others about her heritage. However, he was unsure of why him. Rob could do a better job than me. She doesn't hate him. Of course, he also has a copy of Arty's bio homework that he could use to destroy me in front of the team. Or worse, with GA and Bats.

He knocked on her door, waiting for the expected rushed opening and a few choice words to try and get him to walk away. Her face poked out from behind the door. "What do you want, Baywatch?"

"Rob said you have something to tell everyone. He…blackmailed me into getting you."

"What I'm going to say to the others is due to a deal I made with him. Which in hindsight was a really bad idea." Artemis took a step into the hallway. "Hell, he even got the better end of the bargain."

"So, what was it?" Wally waited for a moment, hoping for an answer. "Beautiful?" She grabbed his shirt and dragged him into the room. The door closed behind him and a whirl filled his ears for a second.

"The room is Dick proofed." Artemis sat on her bed, arms crossed. "You sure you want to hear it?" Wally nodded and she sighed. "I was supposed to ask you out on a date in front of the entire team."

"No really, what was it?"

She laughed, a hand over her mouth. "That's what he wanted me to do. I was so hell-bent on hearing the story that I agreed to it."

"You know," Wally began, rubbing an invisible beard, "we could walk in arguing about how much we 'hate' each other and then kiss in front of them. We play with that until Robin is so sure we like each other – "

"But we do, don't we?" Artemis asked. "I saw your reaction to the name, and I've been thinking about it while hiding here, hoping that Dick didn't have any other methods to get me out there." Wally smiled at her and she had the sudden feel that whatever he was thinking of would either work out perfectly or would explode in their faces.

"So here's the idea."


Artemis followed Wally into the main room. The rest of the team was gathered around the kitchen, watching them enter. Robin was in the back, grinning mad.

"So what is it that you want to tell us, Artemis?" Kaldur asked.

"I'm pregnant," she said, loud enough for only Superboy to hear. His jaw dropped and everyone turned to him.

"What is it?" Megan asked. She looked terrified.

"Artemis is pregnant, yet I only hear one heartbeat coming from her." The Team turned to her. She glanced at a smoldering Wally before looking back at the others.

"I just found out, and that was after I started getting nervous about something that happened…yesterday." Artemis twirled her hair, looking away. "I'm sorry."

"You have nothing to apologize about, Artemis." Kaldur walked up to her, setting a hand on a shoulder. "We'll all be here for you." She smiled until the Batman walked in.

"What is going on here?"

"Artemis is pregnant," Megan said. The entire team was shocked by his surprised look that lasted for a split second.

"Who's the father?"

"I am." Everyone turned to Wally, leaning against the refrigerator. "I was helping Arty with her biology homework and we got…carried away." He sighed, ruffling his hair. "The end of her assignment involved having a child with someone and I joked about us and well, it turned out to not be that much of a joke."

"I'm disappointed in both of you. I'm taking you both off of active duty and you'll be having couple's counseling with Canary." Batman crossed his arms. "We all know how much you need it." He turned away and left.

"Way to go, KF," Robin said. "However, it seems so unlikely that you'd know by now, if creation was last night."

"Last night was our third time together. We've been at it since Bialya." Artemis was proud that she didn't react to his statement. The rest of the team was in shock, not expecting such a revelation. "Something just…changed after it." He looked over at Megan. "I only kept flirting with you because I didn't want anyone finding out."

"What about Artemis?" Superboy asked.

"I was with him the entire time in Bialya. He couldn't hide it from me if he tried. I still enjoy he hid it from the Boy Blunder."

"She's right," Robin said. "I hadn't noticed anything different about either of them since." He shook his head. "Bats is gonna have my head for this one. It'll be worse than how long it took me to get out of my cuffs back at Cadmus." Everyone but Megan looked away.

Wally glanced at Artemis and winked. She gave him a small smile. I can't believe this is working.

"What will you two do?" Kaldur asked.

"I don't know," Artemis said. "I haven't told my mother yet."

"I'm scared to tell my parents," Wally said. "Sure, Central City is modern and all, but most people keep to older beliefs. I don't know if they'll kill me or just have me shipped out to a Shadows training ground."

"Something isn't right with you two," Superboy said. "I remember your parents and they don't seem like the type to be social conservatives, even if they live in the Midwest."

"Wait, so Artemis isn't pregnant?" Megan asked.

Wally and Artemis looked at each other for a second before laughing. "Can't believe you all fell for that."

"How are you going to explain your deception to Batman?" Robin asked, grinning.

"Who said anything about explaining to him, Dick." Wally smiled as Batman emerged from the other side of the room.

"I'm disappointed in you, Robin. Letting another teammate discover your identity? It's even worse since they're so close. You're coming home now. You'll get to see the others next week. If you can figure out the puzzle Alfred and I have been working on the past week." Robin groaned and followed his mentor to the zeta tubes, not daring to argue his case. He glared at Artemis.

"School is not going to be fun tomorrow."


"How did she figure it out?" It had been years since Dick felt nervous under the constant stare of Bruce.

"Wally. He slipped in a message to ask civilian me about when he painted the Batmobile pink. She brought sunglasses similar to the ones I wear around the cave to confirm the suspicion that she likely had."

Batman showed no emotion. "Tell Artemis at school tomorrow that they're both still on inactive duty. Even though it was a lie, incidents like that shouldn't occur again. Such claims before the team are dangerous, especially if they were true."

"Because of her family?"

"Because of her family."


Artemis ran into Wally at the zeta tubes three hours later, ready to go home. Her mother wouldn't appreciate being back so late, but it wasn't like they'd argue or throw knives at each other.

"What are you doing here, Baywatch?"

"Going home, Arty. What else would I be doing? Waiting for you so I can kiss you goodnight?" Wally had meant to be sarcastic, but the look on Artemis' face made him feel that she wanted a kiss. What are you doing, Wallman?

"Where do I get this kiss?" she asked, taking a step closer.

"Where would you like it?" He got closer.

"Right here." Artemis whispered, almost touching Wally. A hand reached out to him as she looked up.

"Here you go, beautiful." He closed the gap and grabbed her lips with his own. The hand on his chest snaked up around his neck and her other went to a shoulder. His hands rested at her sides, just above her hips.

He pulled away, grinning.

"Night, beautiful."

A/N: sorta weird, writing fluff like that. Part of the chapter got out of control.
