Wally's POV

She stood there frozen with fear. The joker aimed his gun filled with toxic laughing gas at Artemis. His finger closing onto the trigger. There was only one thing I could do. Save Artemis.

I traveled faster then I've ever gone and knocked her out of the way, leaving me in the line of fire. I felt the gas slowly closing down my internal organs. Aqualad knocked the joker out and my vision got fuzzy. I knew with my super fast metabolism that my system would process it out quickly, but I still enjoyed the worried look Artemis got when he saw me.

I woke up who knows how long later. My vision was still cloudy, but i could tell that beautiful blonde ponytail anywhere.

"Hey Artemis." I smiled dazily.

She jerked up from the chair she was sleeping in, "Ah! Oh, Wally!" she ran over to my bedside and pulled me into a hug faster than I could have run away.

"Agh!" I yelled a strangled cry from her choking me around the neck.

"OH! Sorry! Are you OK?" She let go of my neck and stepped back.

I rubbed my neck, "Yeah, I'll be fine, what time is it? why aren't you at home?" I asked noticing the blackness under her eyes, and that none of the team was there.

"Well, it's 2 AM and, I wanted to ask you when you woke up, why did you take that gas for me?"

I smiled, "Well, I'd do it for anyone on the team, ya know being invincible to gases and everything."

She smiled back, "Well, you didn't seem to notice that Megan was also in danger."

I had a blank look on my face, "Oh, I um, well, I knew Supey would have taken care of that..." I stared off the the corner of the room.

"mm hm." she said, smiling triumphantly, "Well, you know what I think, I think that you, Wally West, worried about me more them you did about little Megan."

"I um, how do you know for sure?" I said, I had a smile on my face that said, ha-I-got-you-good!

"Because." She leaned in and kissed me, well actually she made out with me, for like 15 minutes. I could hear the fast beeping of the machine hooked up to my arm. "It's a girl instinct." she whispered into my ear.

Sorry for the wait, been busy. The setting is the infirmary, yes I think a super hero facility would have a infirmary. sorry bout the ending, but it IS a girl instinct, I have it. Yup I can spot a couple a mile away, like the first episode Artemis was in, I was like, "Waltermis, BAM!" LOL yeah... R&R!
