So, I need to be doing like, 2 or 3 other fics, but it was the attack of the wild plot bunnies!
So, for those that have seen Hercules, the Disney animated version, or even if you haven't; there's a part, where Hercules meets Megara for the first time, after having saved her, and Meg stands up and unceremoniously smacks Hercules with her hair.
Someone on tumblr had a gif of the two of them, and I started thinking about Spitfire, and getting plot bunnies. WallArtFTW, for her part, encouraged me on writing this, so voila! As such, this fic is for her, and although I told everyone that I'd do your fics in order, this bunny just wouldn't leave me alone! :P
Anyway, thanks to both Annie and Brella for keeping me company on google docs, and as part of the new policy, reviews will be replied to privately!
Hope you guys enjoy, and don't forget to leave a review!
The mountain was quiet, way too quiet. It unsettled Wally. He couldn't eat his sandwich in peace, he needed sound, and movement. The speedster couldn't be the sole person in the entire mountain, it was impossible. Grabbing his partially eaten sandwich, Wally pushed his stool back, and walked towards the hallway leading to the other rooms.
He reached the main entrance and checked the computer, noting that he was not alone! There were two other entry records, having arrived before he had. Strange that he hadn't seen them, but if they were training, or deeper inside the mountain, there was no chance of them having heard him coming in.
He passed by the library, and didn't find anyone. Not that he specifically minded it, he didn't fancy hanging out with someone in the library. When he reached the weight room, he finally heard sounds of struggles. He pulled the door open, and the sounds intensified, distinctly making out a male and female voice.
On the open mat, he found Conner, and none other than Artemis, fighting it out. They were moving at it quite skillfully, and Wally had to admit that Artemis was doing a very good job of dodging Supey's punches.
Wait, did he seriously just admit to Artemis being good at something? Impossible, what was going through his mind? He slapped his forehead and muttered "Stupid, stupid!"
Artemis was very focused on her fight with Conner, and hadn't noted that anyone else had come in. Not even a shirtless Conner could stray her concentration, but hearing someone's mutterings apparently did, as Artemis turned her head to to face the source of the sounds, and saw the insufferable speedster smacking his head.
Conner took opportunity of this momentary loss of concentration to get his jab in, punching Artemis in the gut. Artemis gasped, and Conner finally claimed his victory by grabbing Artemis' forearms while moving to cross over her chest, flipped her over his back, and with a loud thud, dropped her into the cushioned mat.
As Conner smiled satisfactorily at the outcome, he looked over to Wally and asked, "You want to join?"
The speedster had been in the process of flinching as Conner asked him this, so his expression was then stuck in a stupefied momentum, finally leading to his shaking of the head, and mumbling something or other about having just eaten, holding up the sandwich as proof.
Conner shrugged, and walked off the mat, heading to the showers, grabbing a towel and his shirt on the way. The speedster turned back to the archer, noting that she was gingerly getting up, and walked up to her.
"So, harsh blow huh?"
Artemis coughed a bit, hands resting on her thighs, relatively bent over, trying to catch her breath. "Shut up, Wallman. As I recall, you seem to do a worse job by yourself."
Wally let the harsh jab pass, moving even closer up to her, smirking in an extremely confident manner, not that she could see it. "As I recall it, you got distracted when you noted I was in the room."
"Actually, I was more puzzled by why exactly you'd be smacking yourself, rather than anything else."
Wally chuckled. "You sure babe? I could've sworn-"
The rest of the sentence was cut off as Artemis stood up to her full height and turned to him. With the momentum, her hair, pulled into the tight ponytail she always sported, went flying, and due to his proximity, it smacked Wally right in the face, sweat and all.
Wally's muffled screams were nearing comical levels as he scrambled to remove the hair from his face, and as Artemis faced him, the last of the hair left his face, but his eyes were still bugging out.
Artemis, for her part, was not looking amused. If it had been anyone else caught in her hair, she'd have actually smiled, and let out a chuckle, but with Casanova here, Artemis couldn't be bothered to care. "So, you were saying?"
Wally was miming pulling out hair from his mouth, whether imaginary or actual hair, she didn't know. "Bleh, do you ever wash that thing?"
The archer's glare was enough of an answer.
"But you still got to admit that my presence distracted you..."
"I think you're seriously delirious, as the only thing that made me look away, was your absolutely dumb antics."
Wally picked up his sandwich, which he had dropped once Rapunzel smacked him, and took a large bite out of it, turning back to the door. "But I still got your attention."
Yep, for once, Wally gets the final word here, I usually have Artemis being the once silencing Wally, but a change's always nice.
Anyway, that was this one shot! I hope you guys enjoyed it, and I'm nearly done finishing my ADJL story, so then I'll go right back to Broken Puppet!
Reviews and constructive criticism's always welcome and appreciated!
