"So when will you or Wally, tell us about what's going on with you two?" Zatanna frowned
"She's right you have both been sitting around moping and you don't talk to each other Wally isn't eating like he should and you aren't sleeping, if this goes on any longer it will affect the team."
The girls were sitting in the cave having a girl's night. Zatanna and M'gan decided it would be good for Artemis. For the past month she and Wally have been fighting. Although they wouldn't exactly call it fighting since they weren't even talking to each other.
"Will you just leave it alone?" Artemis growled.
"No, this could get one of us killed!"
"We just had a disagreement after the whole thing with training."

**One Month Ago**
"How did they find us." Wally growled holding the cut on his arm.
Cheshire and her group of ninjas were currently looking for both him and Artemis. They were in the woods the two of them being paired, all communications cut including the mind link. The exercise was to see how well all of them could work when they weren't together. Of course Cheshire wasn't supposed to be a part of the picture.
"I'm not sure but-" Artemis was cut of as Wally grabbed her running out of the way of knives that were just thrown.
"Oh baby sister your losing your touch. You need an idiot like him to protect you all the time. Daddy would be ashamed." Cheshire mocked

Artemis growled "I don't need him." She said as she ran at her sister "I'm perfectly fine on my own!" she yelled
Wally stood there with a frown before taking out the others around him easily.
Soon they were all gone Artemis breathing heavily looking around for any sign that they were there. The sky had turned dark which means they had fought for a long time she looked over at Wally his arm was bleeding heavily. He was making a fire to stay warm and create light.
"Let me wrap that for you." Artemis said as she sat next to him reaching for his arm. He jerked it out of her hands and moved further away from her
"What's wrong with you?" She frowned.
"You are what's wrong with me! What were you doing just leading me on for fun all this time! Joking around!" He yelled at her the look in his green eyes cold
"Wally, what are you talking about?" She frowned, her eyebrows crinkling together.
"You don't need me remember. Was I just your pity case?"
"What no I didn't mean that!"
"You know it doesn't matter if you meant it or not, you said it." He whispered "and until you figure out what you want. I think it's best if we take a break."
"Fine" she growled out and looked at the fire

**now**
"I didn't mean what I said, and the rest of that week it seemed I would just say stuff to make it worse."
The other girls looked at her and frowned
"It's been a month why haven't you tried talking to him!?" Zatanna asked
"He avoids me like the plague I know I hurt him and I tired apologizing but he ignored me."
Just as M'gan was about to say something Wally walked into the room and towards the kitchen. He looked half asleep his feet dragging on the rug.
"Go." Zatanna said to Artemis "he's half asleep he can't ignore you now"
Artemis didn't object she stood and went Into the kitchen. When Wally saw her he frowned and threw away what he was eating before turning to leave.
"Wally wait!"
"What." He frowned turning to her.
He looked awful, skinnier then usual bags under his eyes.
"You look awful." She blurted
"Thanks he rolled his eyes and started walking towards the exit again.
"No wait I'm trying to apologize I didn't mean that." Artemis frowned
"You're not doing a good job" he kept walking.
She reached out and grabbed his arm causing him to hiss and jerk it away from her. She remembered that was the arm that was hurt before.
"What's wrong with your arm?"
"Nothing. It's fine."
"Did you ever get that checked out when you came back!" She yelled grabbing his arm again and rolling up the sleeve. The cut on his arm looked as if he had just gotten it aside from the edges looking irritated and red and now starting to bleed from being touched.
"Are you an idiot! Why didn't you get this looked at!" She yelled
He glared at her pulling his sleeve down and stepping back.
"Your right I'm an idiot now that we know that's how you feel I'll be going to bed now." He growled at her and this time ran to his room quickly slamming the door.
Artemis screamed in frustration and turned punching the nearest wall and then held her hand in pain. The other two girls came over finally moving her to the couch. M'gan got up getting her ice for her hand while Zatanna let her cry on her shoulder. It was the first time they had ever seen her so upset.
When Artemis woke up the next day her eyes felt puffy. She stood walking to the bathroom where she could hear someone being sick. She noticed that Wally's door was opened and frowned as she knocked on the door lightly before going into the bathroom. Wally was leaning against the wall looking completely drained. He was covered in a cold sweat.
Artemis gasped as she kneeled in front of him "let me take you to the med bay." She whispered looking at the cut on his arm she knew that it was most likely poison now. She couldn't help but think how he always managed to get poisoned.
"No, I don't really what your help or pity." He stood up shakily walking away.
Artemis didn't got after him. She turned splashing her face with water before going to the transporter.
When she got home her mother looked up a frown on her face.
"What wrong mom?" Artemis sighed as she sat on the couch
"I know you and Wally aren't on good terms but his parents called, they are worried about him." Her mother frowned
"I tried talking to him he didn't listen."
"No, they aren't worried about you and him, they are worried for his health. He won't go to a doctor or the med bay, despite their tries."
"Yes mom I know I tried to get him to go to but he is being stubborn. And stupid." She got up going to her room closing the door quickly.
She grabbed her phone calling M'gan
"Hey you left in a hurry." M'gan said on the other end of the phone
"Yeah, I had another fight with kid idiot this morning." She frowned "anyway I was wondering if you would do me a favor?"
"Anything."
In the background she heard someone coughing as well as pots and pans banging.
"I want you to keep an eye on Wally for me." She frowned "was that him."
"Yes, everyone is waiting for me to make breakfast. And I will, I promise." She sighed
"I'm going to take a few days off just to get away, for awhile."
"Okay I'll keep you posted."
"Thanks."
She hung up the phone before laying on her bed starring ceiling.

"Hello?" Artemis asked as she answered her phone. She was halfway into her week off sitting on her bed cleaning her arrows.
"Artemis you have to come! Wally's in the med bay and they don't know what's wrong with him!"
"What? What happened!" She dropped her arrows and slipped on her shoes and winter coat.
"He collapsed in training, we aren't sure what's wrong but please just get here."
"I'm on my way."
She hung up her phone then ran to the teleport. Getting to the cave she went strait to the med bay. Everyone was waiting outside the door.
"Did they check the cut on his arm?" She asked gasping for air
"There is no cut. That's what we said at first to but Black Canary said their wasn't one."
"But it was there a few days ago..." Artemis scrunched her brows
"They think it's something to do with his powers and him not eating."
"But he's always eating."
"Not recently."
She heard a voice and turned. The flash was standing there.
"He hasn't been eating at all a few bites here and there but with our appetites and with the training we've been doing." He frowned "it just went down hill."
"He's been getting sick to." Robin sighed.
"Okay, I have good and bad news."
Black Canary walked out "good news is it's just a stomach virus he must have picked up a bug on the training exercise the other day."
"What about the bad news?"
"Well with him not being able to eat and what little food he does eat coming back up it makes him weak. And if not taken care of could be deadly." She sighed
"Are you sure it isn't poison?" Artemis asked "the cut that was on his arm?"
"Yes, it's now a scar that's healed we tested for poison we have to wait for the tests. We think the virus has affected his healing abilities. We gave him an I.V and there is antibiotics and water on the table for him when he comes too if one of you wouldn't mind giving it to him." She smiled and walked away Flash following her.
Everyone stood in the hall.
"I can't believe he was so irresponsible." M'gan sighed
"It isn't his entire fault. We should have told black canary about him, instead of just brushing it off." Robin said leaning on the wall "I guess we should get back to training?"
"I'm going in." Artemis said cracking the door "I'm still on my off week so I'll stay with him."
"Okay." They all nodded before leaving.
She walked in the room and frowned. Wally was asleep on the bed his skin was as white as the walls around him making his freaked stand out. There were dark circles under his eyes. His breathing labored. She sat in the chair next to the bed taking his hand.
"You lied; you said you never got sick." She sighed looking at his face.

That night she stayed there hoping he would wake up soon. Black Canary had visited and told her that he had sleeping medicine so he could rest. Half way through the night he started moving a little but stayed sleeping.
