"Can I bet against Baywatch? Is that okay? Because Batgirl and I were talking and-"
"Uh oh. Batgirl and Artemis together? DUDE! No. Not okay. Tell her, Nightwing."
"Totally okay, KF. Sorry."
"DUDDDEE! You were supposed to be helping me out here! Now, if I lose, I'll have to do something horrible like-"
"Help me babysit Lian for a bit? I promise, Batgirl and I won't bet against you something horrible. Right, BG?"
"...eh. What have I got to lose?"
The Team huddled around the coffee table in the 'den', placing bets against each other. Artemis and Barbara sat side by side, arms crossed and a soft smirk gracing each girl's face. Nightwing sat next to Wally, who was opposite the two girls on the other side of the couch. "Alright, Alright. The stakes?" The leader raised an eyebrow as Barbara shifted position. "We bet that you, Pixie Boots, and him, Baywatch, can't go without talking for..three days?" Artemis finished Barbara's sentence, and Wally's jaw dropped. "You know I have to talk or-" but she waved his words away.
"C'mon, Baywatch, where's your spirit of competition? All I want is a little quiet around here, especially because the last time you were loud it was when Lian had finally fallen asleep at oh, three AM...and then it took two little words to wake her up again." Artemis frowned and Wally squirmed. Dick thought for a moment, trying to find a loophole.
Suddenly, he jerked. "But we can gesture and write, correct? Should be a piece of cake." He folded his arms, satisfied. Artemis gave a nod of affirmation, and Nightwing slapped Wally on the back. "C'mon, KF, we can do this. It'll be easy. Besides...they didn't say anything about no touching did they?" Batgirl met Dick's smirk with one of her own, and Artemis placed a hand on her friend's shoulder to keep it from becoming one of their I-can-make-things-more-awkward-than-you-can-let's-go-make-out sessions. "So. Gentlemen, do we have a deal?" The boys shook hands with the girls and Barbara looked at the clock. "Okay, your time starts..." Artemis glanced up. "Now." She said firmly, watching Wally turn red, then purple, then regular colored as he stiffly got up and walked into the kitchen without uttering a sound. "Perfect." Artemis grinned, and slapped Batgirl high five.
Meanwhile...
"Who is she, Garfield?" M'Gann's voice was scary calm, and Gar released a small little squeak of fear. Now thirteen, he was just about to go into the age where he was interested in girls.
"Uh, I, ah, maybe, she's, um, well, y'see, the mall..." On and on he babbled until Bart burst out laughing. "Hey, Jamie. Wanna see how long it'll be until M'Gann finds out about..." His voice dropped to a hair above a whisper, "...Raven?" Jamie raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to Bart. "How much, hermano?" He asked quietly, his eyes trained on M'Gann's calculating expression. Bart thought for a moment. "Fifteen dollars that she'll know by tomorrow." Jamie protested, "Dude! At least give me a fighting chance." Bart rolled his eyes. "Fine, that she'll know in three days." Jamie gave the affirmative nod and they both watched Gar cower in front of M'Gann once more.
"Please, Garfield, I just want to know her name..."
Gar let out a tiny groan. "Sis, I'll tell you when she's actually my girl-"
"GARFIELD. TELL ME NOW."
