"Oh you gotta be kidding me," Icicle Jr. groaned, his mouth agape at the sight above him, "Are they really making out again? It's like they're not even taking this seriously."

"Newsflash, genius: they're not," Artemis replied to her boyfriend, quickly pulling out another explosive arrow from her quiver and aiming it towards the couple, "We're at a severe disadvantage without Match around to help us out."

"Yeah, that fucking douche walked out the moment he pinpointed the location of his stupid dick of a brother," Icicle Jr. narrowed his eyes and concentrated his efforts on aiding her arrow, massive white shards shooting out from beside his feet, "Leaving all the hard work to us!"

He hurdled the shards towards the duo as Artemis shot her arrow, both cursing as it took little effort for Wonder Girl and Blue Beetle to dodge the attack and continue making obscene, seductive gestures at the other.

"There is no way I'm losing to a couple of creeps that insist on treating us like trash," Artemis shot a few more arrows at the gliding couple, hoping that her superior aim could at least nick on of her opponents at top speed. All she needed was one scratch -

A giant explosion boomed in front of her and Icicle Jr., clouding Wonder Girl and Blue Beetle in wafts of black smoke. Immense joy and relief swarmed over her chest, but she didn't allow herself to celebrate just yet. Neither did Cameron, who stood ever alert a few yards away. There had been a brief yelp, sounding distinctly feminine. Must have been…

"You're going to pay for that, you little pieces of shit!" Blue Beetle yelled, a large rush of air whipping the smoke back into their faces. Wonder Girl hung over his shoulders, unconscious but still breathing from the looks of it. Artemis cursed her luck; she had hoped the arrow would hit him. While they were both difficult to handle under average circumstances, Blue Beetle was definitely the more deadly of the two to beat, especially when considering she was a normal, "No one hits her like that!"

"Consider it payback for the time you almost killed my boyfriend," Artemis spat back despite the fear beginning to crawl up her legs and arms. Shit, he was pissed. His eyes were burning white, his armor lit up in his signature neon blue…they would have to make a run for it. Again; if they wanted to survive.

"While I appreciate the sentiment, we have to move," Cameron ran towards her and grabbed onto her arm, his touch cold and harsh, "Now."

"Oh no, you two think I'm finished?" Blue Beetle chuckled darkly, lowering himself to the crumbling street, "When I'm done with you, you're going to be nothing but scrap. Wonder Girl may have wanted you for herself, but this just became a hell of a lot more personal."

"We need to get back to the Jester," her boyfriend whispered, his other arm generating a wall of dry ice between them and the approaching Blue Beetle, "Or at least you do."

"Fuck off," Artemis said, squeezing his hand and immediately rushing them towards the manhole before he could protest, "You're coming with me or you'll never hear the end of it in the afterlife."

"God, you're so stubborn," Cameron scoffed, jumping into the manhole as Blue Beetle demolished the wall of ice protecting them. They dashed into the depths of the sewers, Cameron doing his best to cover their initial entrance with as much ice as possible. It wouldn't stop him forever, but it would give them time to escape and fight another day.

At least in the next round, they would be receiving their foes' undivided attention.
