Wally woke up dazed and confused, he looked around squinting before realising where he was. His eyes grew large and he moved as slowly as possible towards the tent door. He gradually unzipped it before creeping out.

On exit he took a breath of fresh air, thankful he hadn't woken up the girl who he previously lay next to.

Once out of the tent Wally noticed that the sun was already up and he could see robin with his arms crossed talking with aqualad in the distance.

He sped over and didn't hold back

"Dudeeeeee, why the hell did I just wake up next to artemis. If I hadn't woken up first I may not be alive right now."

Robin raised an eyebrow "that's all your worried about? Not what actually happened last night?"

"I'm guessing some sort of fight and blah blah blah, now why was I put in a tent with Her?" Wally replied

"Look it was the only way, I'll tell you everything on today's hike"

"Fineeee" Wally said

Robin had informed Wally of everything that had happened the night.

Despite suggestions that he should thank artemis for carrying him back to camp,he stayed well away from her.

Robin told artemis not to tell anyone about what jinx said hoping that it was just a tactic to scare them off.

So once again the team continued on their hike.

After a tension filled walk it was starting to get dark and the team were almost at the next campsite.

They were deep in the jungle when the trees started to rustle around them, suddenly the sound of feet hitting the ground could be heard all around.

they were now surrounded by several villains and shadows.

They had dropped out of the trees and caught the team off guard. first it was Cheshire who landed right in front of them and smiled "Well well well if it isn't the sidekicks themselves, we did warn you"

Also present was captain boomerang, icicle junior, a henchman juiced up on Kobra venom and lots of shadows.

Last to drop down was jinx.

Wally noticed straight away and the pair didn't take their eyes off one another while Cheshire teased the young heroes.

Everyone knew what was about to happen and superboy was the first to engage, he was sick of the talking. He leapt over to the kobra venom filled henchman. The rest followed suit, Kid Flash was about to approach jinx when a boomerang hit him from the side drawing him in another direction. This meant Artemis was now in jinx's line of sight.

"Finally my chance to finish you off" jinx said.

The team were doing reasonably well in all of the individual fights and the villains were looking for a way to end the battle.

The only mismatch seemed to be jinx who overpowered Artemis easily.

Robin was fighting Cheshire and had knocked one of her blades onto the ground, whilst this had gone unnoticed by almost everyone jinx saw it as her chance to make a final blow.

She gestured her hand towards the blade and it glowed pink.

Suddenly it was flying through the air towards artemis.

But before it hit her a blur took place and Artemis wasn't sure what had happened.

That was until she saw Wally stumbling and falling to the ground on her left.

He had ran in front of Artemis and now the blade was in his stomach.

Cheshire yelled "it's over, let's get out of here"

Artemis just stood in shock, all the sounds of panic around her were drowned out by what she had just witnessed. All she could see was Wally's unconscious body which quickly became invisible behind the rest of her swarming team mates.

Amongst the panic Robin carried out the emergency protocol, code red and blue.

In a matter of minutes super man landed at the site, picked up Wally and flew him back to the mountain.

The team didn't know what to do.

It was now around 9:00PM at night and during a period of tension and worry aqualad addressed the team.

"Our presence in this area has been identified, we are no longer safe here. We will hike back on the last two routes we took, at the end of this we will be picked up by the bioship. Only back at the mountain will we be informed of kid flash's condition. We leave in in fifteen minutes.

The team lacked any sign of life when listening to aqualad.

Added to their pain was that they had to hike the whole last trip back after just arriving.

It was now completely dark And with only the moon and some torches as a guide they started walking the way they came.

Aqualad was at the front with robin behind, then was M'gann who had began to cry and so superboy held her hand.

Next was Zatanna and at the back, still in shock was Artemis

The walk the team were now on felt like the longest but after 5 hours or so they were at the camp.

Straight away artemis set up her tent, grabbed her things, went inside and zipped up the door.

She sat down and put her head in her hands, she was so overwhelmed, something she had never experienced before.

Artemis was usually the strong one in these situations so her actions were noticed by the others.

Robin was scared, never could he have prepared himself for something so serious happening to Wally. Despite this he knew that the team needed each other right now.

He looked around, Zatanna was taking care of m'gann on a log around the campfire place who hadn't stopped crying since the hike. superboy and aqualad were talking, probably about the incident itself.

There was only one person left, Artemis. He hadn't seen her since she went in her tent when they arrived.

Robin knew what he had to do.

He walked over to the archers tent which lie just in front of the trees. He said from outside "Artemis, can I come in?" There was no answer.

He decided to go in anyway, he unzipped the door and found Artemis with her legs tucked in to her chest and watering eyes.

Robin immediately took a seat beside her and started talking "Artemis it's okay, he's going to be okay."

Artemis only started crying "why did he do it robin?he saved my life. after everything I've ever said to him, he saved my life".
