Artemis POV
The day on the beach was both relaxing and tiring. Wally as always was a bundle of crazy energy. He tried to contain his speed but normally he would start running and then trip or run into something.
After awhile he didn't cry when he hurt himself just seemed to shrug it off and get up and walk it off. It made me wonder if he was that way normally as well.
"Okay Wally, how about we get you dressed and go out to eat okay?" I picked him up along with everything else.
"Can we get cake?" He asked excited and I smiled
"Of course."
When he finished changing he sighed and sat on the bed holding his stomach.
"What's wrong?" I asked kneeling so I could tie the sneakers going onto his feet.
"My tummy hurts." He mumbled "always hurts." A tear leaked from his eye and I wiped it quickly
"Are you sick? Do you not feel good?" I asked quickly feeling his head with the back of my hand.
"No" he shook his head red hair flopping into his eyes "hungry"
Just as he said that his stomach let out a long growl as he sniffled curling a little.
"Don't worry, we are going to eat now okay?" I picked him up and tucked his head under my chin. "For now just take a nap okay?" I rubbed his back.
I immediately felt guilty for all the times I had yelled at him for eating so much. I didn't know it was like this, that it hurt.
Wally's breathing deepened as we made our way out of the cave and towards a diner near the harbor. I found a place I knew had food suitable for children and that wouldn't be to crowded not wanting to draw attention to the child who could eat a house. I carefully woke him and sat him in a booster seat.
After ordering the whole kids menu for Wally, then a grilled cheese for me I started to help Wally color the paper mat for kids. An hour and a half later I was waiting patiently for Wally to finish his triple chocolate cake.
Getting back to the cave it was still empty and Wally had fell asleep again. I set him down on the bed then walked to the living room laying down setting the monitor on the table next to me before I took a deep breath and drifted to sleep.
Waking up later I felt a weight on my stomach and looked up to see Wally sitting on me holding a marker.
"What are you doing?"
"Well I wanted to draw but I couldn't find paper so I asked The bird and he said I could use you"
"The bird?" There was a camera flash and I turned seeing robin with a camera cackling as he ran off "you are so dead robin!" I stood Wally fell back onto his but on the couch with a 'oomph' soon I was passed by a little blur and there was a crash.
"Ouch! Wally! Stop!" I walked I tot the hallway and started laughed at Wally beating robins back with his small fist.
"You made Pretty Mis mad!" He yelled as I walked over and picked him up and robin rolled over.
"It's okay Wally, I'm fine." I laughed as he smiled at me
"I caught the bad guy like flash!"
"I know good job" I laughed and tickled his belly as robin stood I handed Wally to him
"I'm going to go wash this marker off my face"
I walked to the bathroom and laughed at the face in the mirror. There was a mustache on my upper lip and little lightning bolts all over the place and 'Pr3ty Mis" obviously Wally's not the best speller at four.
I scrubbed the marker off and then walked to the kitchen where everyone was sitting and M'gan was making food. When Wally saw me he smiled and lifted his arms so I picked him up and sat him on my lap.
"How was the mission?"
"Okay, we saw sportsmaster and Cheshire and overheard they are going to be back at the wear house to pick up something on Friday. Hopefully Wally will be fixed by then."
Robin cackled at the last part
"The spell should wear off by then!" Zatanna pouted.
"What are they moving?"
"We don't know, we figured Friday we would find out." Kaldur said as M'gan set the plates.
"Are you going home tonight?" She asked looking at me
"No!" Wally yelled eyes wide dropping the fork he had "I don't want you to go!" He said pouting and looking at me
"Don't worry I'll stay" I laughed as he smiled and continued eating
"Good his crying last night was awful." Conner frowned.
Going to bed that night was easy Wally was asleep in a matter of seconds after he took a bath. I had him leave his bathing suit on during it, I didn't think when he was older he would appreciate me seeing him completely naked.
I fell asleep shortly after taking a deep breath and breathing in the scent that was just Wally which smelled like fresh and and peppermint.
"Artemis? Arty, hey beautiful wake up"
I groaned "shut up Wally" I said then gasped sitting up and looked at "Wally?" I asked starring into the eyes of a teen Wally.
"Yeah," he laughed "you know it's nice to be tall again, I could finally reach the brownies without asking" he laughed s he handed me a brownie.
I sat up as we are the brownies quietly when I finished I went to leave to head to my room
"No, you can stay." He grabbed my hand pulling me back down onto the bed. "Just in case the spell comes back or whatever." He mumbled his face turning as red as his hair.
"Yeah, of course."
Laying down I relaxed at the feeling of his warm body next to mine.
I could get used to this.
