Wally had waited 5 minutes, before he panicked 'where is Artemis? I hope she didn't fall! Dick was right I totally got the hots for her' he got up and started pacing then he realized he didn't have a shirt on. He walked to his dresser and grabbed a yellow turtle neck and slipped it over his head. Once his head was out he saw Artemis sitting on the bed, wearing the flash hoodie staring off into space.
"Artemis?" said Wally hesitantly. she looked up as her eyes swiveled back into focus. She faintly smiled but it fell quickly. He went over and picked up her hand, but she pulled away.
"Don't treat me like a charity case"
"Maybe I'm doing this more for myself than you"
Tears filled her eyes and she leaned into Wally and he gently picked her up and carried her to the commons, laid down on the couch leaving Artemis curled up on his chest. For being so mighty and fierce Artemis was only a girl standing at only 5'5 and Wally at 5'11. Making her look small compared to Superboy. But she fit well with Wally. His hand on the small of her back and her head in the crook of his neck. They sat like that until Artemis drifted off to the sound of Wally's heart. And Wally did too a warm body in his arms giving him comfort.
