Chapter 3

"Hey!" Artemis squeaked as Wally pulled one of her pigtails.

He pulled the other. "Knock it off!"

Wally stuck his tongue out at her and pulled both pigtails at the same time. Artemis shouted and slapped Wally right in the face. Wally tumbled from the couch onto the floor and stared at her with stunned silence. His face crumpled and turned red. Instead of the smug satisfaction she expected, Artemis felt a pang of sympathy and jumped down from the couch.

"I'm sorry Wally, I didn't mean it." she grumbled regrettably.

Wally hid his face with his hands and began to cry. Artemis poked him grumpily.

"Stop it!" she pouted. "I said I'm sorry alright?"

Wally peered out from behind his hands but quickly covered his face again. Artemis crossed her arms and leaned against the couch. Only what she didn't know was that Wally wasn't crying, he was laughing. He took his hands away from his face and rolled across the floor howling with laughter. Artemis' jaw dropped.

"Wally!" she screamed. "I hate you!"

He stopped laughing and made a fake pouty face. Artemis scrunched up her face and stomped away.

"I can't believe I got you to say sorry!" Wally laughed running to catch up with her. Artemis forcefully shoved him to the floor and continued down the hall.

Every few feet he would run in front of her and she would shove him aside again.

"You said sorry, you said sorry!" Wally chanted, laughing and pointing at Artemis.

Artemis growled, grabbed the front of Wally's shirt and pinned him against the wall.

"If you tell anyone about any of this, I'll turn you into a speed bump!" she hissed.

Wally's green eyes grew wide and he nodded his head quickly. She released him and he sped off down the hallway fearfully. Artemis held her head high with satisfaction and marched to her room.

1 HOUR LATER

Artemis walked into the cave's main lobby area and crossed her arms at the sight she saw. Superboy was brooding in the corner next to Megan who was braiding small tufts of Robin's hair, who protested and slapped at her hand every so often. Wally was sitting upside down on the couch whilst eating a bag of potato chips beside Aqualad who was smiling at a book he was reading. Roy was sitting in a chair with narrowed eyes and was sharpening in arrow with a rock. When Robin caught sight of Artemis he leapt to his feet, and ran over to her.

"Artemis! I can't believe you said sorry to Wally!" He exclaimed with a huge smile.

Everyone in the room froze and Wally clutched the bag tightly. He flashed Artemis a smile and slowly turned right-side-up. Artemis clenched her fists and stomped over to Wally who got to his feet.

"Whoops," he smiled sheepishly and shrugged.

Artemis roared with anger and threw herself at Wally who yelped in alarm. Robin gasped and scrambled onto the couch to get a look at the two heroes rolling across the ground.

"Aqualad, Aqualad! Do something! Artemis is gonna kill Wally!" Robin squeaked climbing halfway onto Aqualad's head.

"Hey!" Wally protested, but a punch to the face from Artemis returned his attention back to the scuffle.

Robin poked and shoved Aqualad who was still engrossed in his book.

"Not now Robin, King Triton just found Ariel's treasure trove." he marveled sticking his face further into the book.

Robin stared in horror at Aqualad, then at Artemis and Wally. He leapt off of Aqualad's head and landed in front of Megan with a handspring.

"Megan, Megan! Artemis is gonna kill Wally!" he whined.

Megan gasped and levitated into the air. She flew over the couch and hovered over the two wrestling kids.

"Cease the fighting!" she shouted at the pair.

The two continued to fight and Megan moved closer to them, which was a bad idea. She got hit by one of Artemis' wild punches and went flying across the room. Robin watched in stunned silence then advanced on Superboy.

"Superboy, Superboy! Artemis is gonna kill Wally!" he shouted.

Superboy shrugged and stared at the floor with a sad expression on his face. Robin roared with anger and scrambled to Roy who didn't take his gaze off of his arrow for one moment.

"Roy, Roy! Arte-"

"No,"

"But-"

"I don't care."

"Roooy!"

"If you don't get out of my eye line in exactly 5 seconds you're going to have a lot more to worry about than Artemis killing Wally."

Robin's eyes widened and he stared at Roy in disbelief.

"ONE,"

Robin squeaked and scrambled away behind the couch. He watched with despair as his two friends fought. Then a perfect, brilliant, amazing idea struck him like lightning. He took his emergency communicator from his utility belt and opened it. He pressed the button that went to Batman and waited while he bounced up and down.

"Robin?" Batman's concerned face showed up on the communicator. "What's-"

"Batman, Batman! ARTEMIS IS GONNA KILL WWWAAAAAAAALLLYYY!" Robin wailed.

With nothing more to say Robin shut off the communicator and shoved it back in his utility belt. He crawled alongside the fighting and called out to his friends.

"Hello? Guys!" he yelled.

"Guys stop!"

"Really!"

"Recognized, Batman."

"Guys!"

Artemis and Wally felt someone strong grab the backs of their shirts and hoist them into the air. They continued to swing at each other and call each other bad names.

"Enough." An intimidating voice growled.

Artemis and Wally both froze now realizing who had really intervened in their fight. Wally squeaked and put his hands over his mouth. He took one hand away and pointed at Artemis accusingly. Artemis gasped and shook her head. Batman scowled and dropped the two onto the floor. Wally scrambled to his feet and sped away leaving a trail of dust in his wake. Artemis ran in the other direction leaving Batman and Robin alone in the room. Robin beamed and put his hands on his hips, posing heroically.

"Thanks Batman!" He exclaimed launching himself into Batman's arms. "I can always count on you when my friends are killing each other!"
