A/N: Hey look. Double digits. *Celebrates* And yeah, I only got two (but GibGib's review should count as two, so that would make it three) real reviews, but I got a lot of people adding the story to alerts and favorites, and a lot of author alerts too, so that makes up for it.
Katie: Yeah, here she is. I've been trying to figure out how to work her and Roy into the story, and it kinda snapped into place.
GibGib: (Read above for the comment about Zatanna) Mostly with Zatanna, I started writing this before the episode came out, and I can't just throw her in, but it's starting to come to me now how to put her in. Yeah, I can see why you're annoyed by my tense. I know I screw it up in there somewhere, but my problem is finding it, even when I reread it. I've been trying to catch as many of my mistakes as possible during proof reading, but it's a bit easier on paper than computer. I'll try again to see if I can fix it in upcoming chapters, but I can't make guarantees.
*Artemis*
Wally gulped visually, meaning it was a very loud, obvious gulp.
"Um…" Wally paused as Artemis dragged him in the direction of his room. "What about?"
"You know what about, Wallace." She snarled back at him.
Wally shuddered at her reaction, but Artemis didn't notice. "Well aren't you a little on edge?" He was answered with silence. "What's got you all in a huff?"
She spun on him just as they reached Robin's room.
"You, Baywatch!" She growled, forcing him to stagger back a few steps. "You've been avoiding me since we tied up Robin and Superboy, and-"
"Okay, hold up a second." Wally interrupted. "I've been avoiding you? I haven't seen you since you've been off and about doing who knows what! If I've been avoiding you, it wasn't on purpose."
"Pff, yeah right." Artemis continued towards Wally's room, opening the door and leading him inside, and shut the door behind him.
"Well, I haven't."
Artemis glared. "And I'm supposed to believe you because…?"
Wally ran his hand through his hair, and walked over to stand in front of Artemis, close enough that they were almost nose to nose.
"Have I ever lied to you before?" The Spitfire before him was silent. "Artemis, I don't have any reason that I would ever lie to you-"
Wally was stopped as the door opened once again, this time with Zatanna in the threshold.
Zatanna stared in shock at the other two when she opened the door, then sighed wearily. "Sorry, guys. I was just looking for Rob. I can't seem to get these rooms right."
Artemis and Wally glanced back at each other briefly, then pointed to Zatanna's left. "Three doors that way," they said together.
"Huh. At least I was in the right area this time. Last time I tried looking finding his room, I ended up walking in on Megan and Conner." Zatanna shrugged, then turned to walk away, but was stopped by a call from Artemis.
"He's not here anymore, Zee. He and Bats left to go back to Gotham." Zatanna snapped her fingers and turned back around.
"I was really hoping to catch him before he left." She tapped her chin and looked back over her shoulder at the direction of the kitchen. "Kaldur left too, huh?" The other two nodded.
"Hmm… well, I'll find something else to do until M'gann and Conner get done-"she glanced at Artemis and Wally, and smirked a bit, just like Robin. "Well, you know."
Wally's eyes went wide with curiosity. "Doing what?" The girls only glanced knowingly between each other and Zatanna smiled sweetly at the other two and started to walk away. Halfway down the hall, she again snapped her fingers and skipped back, peering around the door and asked, "Are you guys having one of those lovers' quarrels Robin talks about?"
Artemis and Wally glared and shouted together, "We are not lovers!"
Zatanna grinned, and waved a goodbye to her friends.
When she was gone, Artemis growled, "I'm going to kill that little troll."*

*Little troll being Robin, not Zatanna
