"What's going on?" Wally ran up with Artemis behind him, both looking worriedly at each other. "Hey, where is everyone?" The beach itself had turned completely vacant expect for a few people.

"There was another attack down by the pier. By the time we got there, we were too late." Megan replied sadly.

"Do we know who it was?" Artemis asked taking the towel Robin offered, drying off quickly.

"That tool who was hitting on you earlier." Zatanna slipped her t-shirt back on that reached down to her thighs, and brushed the sand off her knees.

"Zatanna." Kaldur looked at her sharply.

"What?" she half laughed, " He was!"

"The wave just came out of nowhere, in shape of giant hands, and just, just took him. He was sitting down by the pier, he left after you two-uh- went swimming." Robin explained to both of them. Inside he was grinning that his friend finally got the nerve to flirt hard with the girl, but he did want to get this job done, or Batman would have his head.

"Great." Wally replied sarcastically. Of course this happened when he decided to take Artemis out for a little fun.

"We need a plan." Connor said, crossing his arms over his chest, flexing them as he did so. A few days in the sun did him good. Guess half-kryptonines tan well.

"Indeed we do." Kaldur nodded. "Let us go back to the condo's and figure something out."

"So what did you and Wally talk about?" Zatanna asked Artemis after dinner. After several hours of arguing and planning, they still hadn't figured anything out. So they took a break and ordered in pizza, ten pizza's to be exact, no left over's thanks to Wally. Before answering, Artemis made sure that they were alone. Everyone else seemed to be out on the balcony while the two of them were sitting on the couch. Wally and Robin were doing some sort of weird handshake, trying to teach Kaldur and Connor, as Megan watched gleefully. Wally was still just in his suite, so his entire upper body was exposed. Artemis didn't know how she missed it before, but wow, that guy had a nice body. He had sort of a v-shaped torso, where he was muscular, he wasn't like Superboy, but it was defiantly noticeable when he moved his arms around. After several days in the sun, he a had a perfect golden tan working which did wonders to make his green eyes brighter, and his red hair darker. Zatanna on the other hand, already had the chance to check out the Boy Wonder earlier that day when they made 'sand castles' together. Even though he was only 13, the kid had a BODY. Years of training with batman totally paid off because his arms were so toned and tan, his age wouldn't matter at all. Robin too had a v shaped torso that Zatanna took a liking too. Not to mention dark haired guys were her thing.

" Well, we fought." Artemis said finally, sighing.

"That I could have figured out myself." Zatanna bumped her shoulder with Artemis's "Anything else?"

"Then, then things started to…change."

"Change?" Zatanna glanced at Artemis confused, " Will you just come out and say it or do I have to put you under a spell?"

"He told me that he was the guy for me and we almost kissed!" Artemis spilled out quickly, hiding her face in her hands, embarrassed. Zatanna squealed like a five year old on Christmas and grabbed Artemis wrists.

"This is great! Oh my gosh! Why didn't you kiss? Because of Robin right? Ugh! I'm gonna have to talk to h-"

"ZATANNA!" Artemis yelled, yanking back.

"What?" she asked innocently

"Were not boyfriend or girlfriend or anything! We were gonna talk about it later.." Artemis rubbed her wrists where her friend grabbed.

"O lalala..well, if you want my honest opinion-"

"Which I do." Artemis cut in,

"You and Wally are so much cuter than what you and that Brad character would have been. As soon as you left he stomped away and sulked at the end of the pier..then that water hand grabbed him. Kind of a bummer, but whatever." Zatanna continued, shrugging.

"Wait, what did you say?" Artemis suddenly stood up straight, and looked sharply at her friend.

"You and Wally are cute..?" Zatanna's eyes filled with confusion

"No after that…the whole pier thing."

"Oh. Yeah, that Brad guy just stood at the end of it, then the hand came..why?" Zatanna looked at Artemis, who looked insanely happy. Which was kind of a rare sight to see. Inside Artemis's head, a plan was forming.

"I have an Idea, but we can't tell Wally okay?"

"Why not?" Zatanna asked, watching Artemis jump to her feet, pacing back and forth in a way that reminded her of Robin.

"He'll never agree to it. You can't tell him okay?" This time Artemis glared at her friend.

"Alright, alright. Geesh." Zatanna sat back in the couch, crossing her long legs.

Wally had no idea where his friends went. He tried calling Robin, but no answer. So the speedster took a walk on the beach to clear his mind. He tried to figure out what he was going to do next with Artemis. He told her that they would finish it later, but he couldn't even get a hold of her. He wanted to kiss her, oh he wanted to kiss her bad. And when he was about to, he could tell that she wanted him to, which honestly only boosted his ego more. The cold water rushed around his ankles and fish brushed by, he would love to buy a house by the beach, if he could spend every day on the beach with Artemis, he would give up super heroing for that. He looked up to glance down to see how far he gotten, he was pretty close to the pier now, and at the end of it he could see a girl.

Not just any girl, but Artemis! She looked a little sad, and was swinging her feet off the edge in thought. Is this why she didn't answer his calls? She didn't want to? Did he go too far today? Wally bit his lip, and decided to go talk to her, it couldn't hurt. He just needed to help her think his way, to give him a chance. He took one more step forward, and a scream wailed out.

"ARTEMIS!"
