You asked for longer chapters, and I delivered! One thing though, I don't know how to do the reveal, because I have at least 5 ways in my head. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Artemis POV
Training time is my most favorite time of the week. Seeing Kid Flash getting beat up by his opponents seems to always cheer me up. I really needed the cheering up today, because during our date in the park, after our encounter with the couple in the park, my boyfriend,Wally seemed to have his head in the clouds, he didn't pay attention at all, he was like on auto-pilot or something.
Come to think of it, Baywatch hasn't been the same either, he didn't even try to rebuffed the statement that super speed was one of the stupidest powers ever. He isn't complementing Megan, he isn't even eating twice his body weight in snacks. If I didn't know any better I would of said he was replaced with a clone. But he was pummeled by Black Canary by doing a simple mistake,a super-clone wouldn't do that. Then this must be the Kid Idiot everyone loves.
Maybe there's a personality-changing virus between red heads I don't know about?
"Okay," Black Canary said as she clapped her hands." Who wants to spar who?"
This is a chance I can't refuse. "Me against Baywatch."
Kid Flash was out of his thought-induced stupor right now, and back to his old self. Which means he has to say something stupid.
"Ya, I bet I can bet you without superpowers. No tricks or gimmicks."
He can't even beat me with his superpowers, how can he think that he can beat me without them?This will be way too easy.
We were both positioned on the blue sparing floor, waiting for Black Canary to give the cue.
"Start!"
Even without his powers he is still pretty quick. But he is predictable, so I can predict where he will try to land an attack.
I don't dodge this time, but the hit was worth it,( he doesn't punch that hard anyway.) so I can bait him into lowering his defenses. Before he tries to punch me, he hesitates just for a second. I use that precious second to punch him right in his right cheek. The force sends him to the floor, where the floor monitor positions the word FAIL above his head.

Kid Flash POV
I can't stop shaking off what the magician said, but you can't just look for magic, can't you?
I kept thinking about that sentence all the way through my date, and I'm still thinking about it at the mountain. Then something causes me to mentally wake up,"Me against Baywatch."
And the next thing I know, Artemis is challenging me. This will be easy, without her bow she is just a normal person,and it's not like she knows martial arts like Rob.
"Ya, I bet I can bet you without superpowers. No tricks or gimmicks."
And that is how I ended up fighting Artemis.
She tries to punch me but I dodge it, even though I'm not using my powers, I am still pretty quick. Soon I switch to offense, and I try to hit back. This goes on for a couple of seconds, then I finally get her. Yes! I might beat that drama queen! I think to myself. I'm going to try to finish her off. Then a couple seconds later, just before I get her, she punches me, in the right cheek, and she sends me straight to the floor.
The bout is over, I lost. I try to sit up but my arms can't support my weight. The force of both the punch and me slamming into the floor hurts.
I look over to the side of the arena. Supey, Megan, and Kaldur were giving Robin money. I can't believe this. " Dude! You vetted on me and Artemis!" Soon Robin's trademark smirk was on his face and he said," We didn't bet between you and Artemis, we vetted if you would last two minutes. You lasted for a minute and fifty-one seconds."
"That's just plain insulting!"
I am still lying on the floor, then I see a green semi-gloved hand waved above my eyes. " Need help Baywatch?"
" I would rather lie here for my whole life than take your help." I try to sit up again, unsuccessfully. "Fine." ,I said defeated. I swallow my pride and grab her hand for support as I stand up, I wobble a bit but soon I can stand.
Black Canary worriedly said,"Let's get you to the infirmary, I'm afraid you might of gotten a concussion."
" What's the problem?" Artemis asks. " He gets bashed in the head all the time, and he's fine and is stupid as ever."
" When he get's hit in the head it's usually because he falls, not someone hitting him. Besides, when he gets hit , usually it's in the forehead, not near the occipital." She pointed to the back of the skull."
I interrupted Black Canary for a second."In simple terms, just for you. I hit the back of my head not the front like I usually do. Plus the punch added more force, so I'm more likely to get a concussion."
I'm still wobbly from the incident, so I walk to the the infirmary with Black Canary.
I sit on the examination bed waiting for Black Canary's command." You need to take your mask off, I need to check for visible bruising first.
I pull of the mask and goggles , with my amazing looks in full sight. I look in the mirror out of the corner of my eye. There is a purple twinge on my cheek and it looks like it's going to get worse. I tilt my head down so she can get a better look at the back of my head.
" Nothing on the back of your head. Any blurry spots in your vision, or have trouble with thinking?" She continued with the examination.
" No, and I'm just glad because I'm with you beautiful."
She is now in front of me going over a mental checklist in her head." No behavioral changes, that's good. But you need cream for the bruise on the front of you face." I think though the blemishes will be gone quickly due to my super metabolism, the cream will probably make it heal even faster.
" Red Tornado will take care of that, he will be here in minute." She said as she walked out of the room.
I looked at the yellow fabric in my hands, the only thing between my identity and disaster, or as Rob likes to put it , 'not aster'.

"I didn't mean to hit him that hard I swear! He was in an unstable position when I hit him and he fell to the floor, who's the genius that makes sparing floors of out hard , uh, whatever." The reasons don't make the angry stares any less angry.
"You could of made Kid Flash have a concussion!" Megan exclaimed. You did hurt him badly." Aqualad agreed.
" I'm going to the infirmary and see that bruise, besides the super metabolism will probably make it heal if I don't see it soon." I said sliding out the couch.
"Wait!" I hear a voice from behind me slightly to nervous. " I don't think you can go, only certain people can go in without authorization." He said trying to hide the anxiousness in his voice.
"Why? You don't want me to see your boyfriend without his mask, Robin?"

Robin's POV
He's your boyfriend for crying out loud! Oh how much I wanted to say that ,but it would ruin the whole thing. Crap. If she sees Wally without his mask, it's over.
"For the last time, he's not my boyfriend." "Sure. I'll believe that, for now."
A familiar yellow and red blur speeds in between us."Hey, guess what? Time's up. I have no concussion, just a bruise because of her." He stares directly at Artemis for a second. "Well, anyway, since this whole fiasco cut into my lunch time, I have some eating to catch up on." He runs into the kitchen and eats a bag of chips.
"Hey!" Artemis shouts as she runs into the room. "Those are my chips!"
"They never learn, do they?" I said in an obvious fashion.
"Nope." Superboy says in agreement.
