DISCLAIMER: Sadly, I do not own Young Justice or any of its characters. :(
I am SO sorry for the long wait guys, I feel terrible. :( Thank you to everyone who is still following; it means the world to me! (I added a bit of Spitfire in this chapter for you guys~ uvu)
Wally was impatiently waiting at the Zeta-Beam.
"C'mon Arte-fart we don't have all day." he said, tapping his foot.
"Oh shut up, Wallace." she said, giving him a dirty look.
He rolled his eyes.
"So are we like, going together... or?" he asked, unsure.
"Well, yeah. Unless you know where I live." she said.
"Star City, right?" he said.
Artemis froze and looked around awkwardly.
"N-no. Gotham." she said, looking at the floor.
"Gotham? City? You mean where Rob- I mean, uh, why Gotham? I thought you lived in Star where GA lives." he said.
"Um, well, no, because..." Artemis felt flushed. She tried looking for an excuse, because she didn't want to tell him why she lived there for obvious reasons.
"I uh, guess it doesn't matter. Lets just go," Wally said, sticking his hand out for her.
She looked at it for a second. She knew that she should put her hand in his, but it just seemed so... unnatural. She's never really had a "helping hand" for her, as you could say. Wally chuckled.
"Don't worry, I washed them... this morning. (... I think.)" he said with a wink.
Artemis rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand. They stood in front of the beam and walked closer until they phased through together.
They arrived in Gotham a minute later.
"Where is... there she is!" Wally said with a smile, running out of the alley.
"Don't scratch it Baywatch." said Artemis.
"Calm down Arty, I just- dang! Did she get shinier?!" he asked, inspecting it.
"Stop touching her- I mean, it. Ugh Wally we don't have time for this. Give me the keys." she said.
"Wait, do you even have a- you don't even have a license yet! Only a permit. You can't legally drive without an adult." Wally said.
"Ugh, I know the damn rules, Wally. I've driven without an adult the whole time I've had one." she said.
"What! Artemis, that's against the law! Wait... right? Yeah! I think it is!" he said, putting his hands on his hips.
Artemis groaned. "Wallace West! Who cares?! It's not like you're the greatest driver in the world. And FYI, I'm getting my license in a month." she said.
"No way am I going to let you drive without one. I'll drive. Besides, I got mine like 3 months ago and I haven't been driving much; I need some practice." Wally said with a smirk.
Artemis checked her phone. 8:09. She growled in frustration. "Don't growl babe, it hurts your vocal chords." he said leaning on the roof of the car.
"Get. In. The. Car." she said, tightening her fists.
"Wait, I can drive?" he asked. She looked back at him.
"Yes. Get in the car before I change my mind." she said, narrowing her glance. He got in without a word.
After both doors shut, Wally started the car and practically squealed. "Man, Rob is going to be so jealous..." he said.
Artemis rolled her eyes. "Start driving Wal. And don't forget that we have to stop and buy flowers for M'gann." she said, putting her seat belt on.
"Wal? How adorable. You gave me a pet name." he said. She stayed silent. He looked over at her, and to his surprise, she was blushing. He's never seen her blush before, and he couldn't stop staring.
"Shut up, and... stop staring at me!" she said blushing more intensely while crossing her arms. Wally smiled. Everyone always thinks that Artemis is the confident one; but honestly, she has her cute insecure moments.
"Sorry." he said. They were driving now, Wally picking up speed.
"Man, you are so lucky you have this car." he said.
"Not really, it's too high-tech sometimes and is really annoying." she said.
Wally gasped. "Shhh girl, she didn't mean it..." he said, caressing the car.
"Wally you're so weird! If you do that one more time I'm taking over. " she hissed. He looked over at her again, her face slightly less red.
"Artemis, have I ever told you that you're beautiful when you're angry? Cause you are." he said. Artemis put her face in her hands and Wally laughed.
"Alright... let's see what this baby can really do." Wally stepped on the gas pedal.
"Wall- WALLY! Slow down!" she said panicking. She gripped onto the seat while Wally started laughing hysterically. "Woohooo!" he yelled. They were at least going 60 mph in a 35 mph area. The convertible top came down and he shot his hands up in the air.
"Wally! What the hell! Put your hands back on the wheel!" she screamed.
"Since when did you become such a GG? Lighten up Arty. Set your wild side free," he said nudging her on the shoulder. Artemis thought about it, and he was right. She started to relax. It was actually kinda... fun, speeding down the streets of Gotham with him. But just then, she realized what Robin said and her eyes widened.
"What's up, Arty?" Wally asked in suspicion. When she looked out the window, she saw the super-market up ahead and gasped.
"Don't forget the flowers, Kid Idiot!" she yelled over the wind, pointing at the building.
"Oh! Shoot." he said, slowing down. He turned into the parking lot and they both calmed down.
"So are you gonna go in or...?" Wally asked.
"Up to you, who's the quickest?" Artemis asked. They both laughed at her comment the moment it came out of her mouth.
"Okay. Be back in a flash!" he said with a wink. Artemis rolled her eyes.
Wally came back in 11 seconds flat with a bouquet of spring colored tulips. "How are these?" he asked getting in the car.
"Good. She'll love 'em." Artemis said, glancing at her phone again. 8:16! "Wally, c'mon. We have to hurry."
"Fine, fine." he said. He started up the engine and raced off to Happy Harbor High School.
"Well, here we are." Wally said, coming to a stop.
"Finally! Grab the flowers. I texted Robin that we're here and he said that they are in the caff-" she started, but Wally cut her off.
"Wait, uh, before we go-" Wally stated nervously.
"What?" she asked.
"Umm- I just want to say thank- thanks. Thank you. Yeah, um..." he ran his fingers through his hair. "Thank you for getting me at the cave and- letting me drive and stuff. I had, um... fun. I guess." he said, looking anywhere but her eyes. Artemis chuckled.
"No problem KF. I- I had fun too." she sighed.
"Great. So... wanna go?"
"Yeah." They both got out of the car together and walked through the cafeteria doors.
~Wow, I finally finished it! :) Again, SO sorry for the long wait! I made this chapter a little longer to try to make up for it. Anyway... review please ~
