Alright! New chapter!

Why I didn't upload this yesterday:

It seems my computer was having issues with saving, and when Word decided to crash out of the blue, I had lost half of what I had done :/ Ergo, here's me, rush typing to get this all redone. Anyway, excuses aside, here's the new chapter!

And also, I had forgotten that I had a couple of sentences more for last chapter, so now everything makes sense to me, because it was looking a bit too OOC to me :S So it's I've added those lines here, so hopefully it makes more sense now :D

And I'm sorry I haven't been reviewing anyone's stories as of late...I promise that once the Spitfire Week is over, I'll go back and review :D

Woot!

Now, here we go more towards Artemis' POV, and deal a bit more with her, so I hope you guys enjoy!

So, yesterday's theme was Fate, and as always, avoiding naming the theme in the chapter :)

So, please leave me a review, and I hope you guys enjoy!

lmb111514: Thanks! Well, here it is, so enjoy!

KF-AxxMexx: Thanks! Yeah, Wally needs to get on with the program here! Agreed, one serving of drama, coming up :D Enjoy the chapter!

Mr. Hood: Ah, gotcha, maybe I should've made it more clear that it had been a dream then? Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Haha, hmm, it'd have been nice, but there'd really be no plot whatsoever for it :/ Anyway, here's the next chapter!

memmek10k: Will do, and enjoy!

shesXsuperXfreaky: [bows] thanks so much! haha, yep, here it is! Better late than never :D Enjoy!

Ansa88: Yep, he kind of admits it :D Yes, drama will be coming up soon, as soon as next chapter! Thanks! Yeah, it was a bit challenging, but hopefully this chapter was more well written. Hmm, could you maybe specify as to what is awkward, that way I can edit it? :P Yeah, it was a bit too OOC, and I had forgotten to add all of it, so hopefully with the beginning lines, they're a bit more like themselves :D Enjoy the chapter!

Jack v: Thanks so much! Yep, here it is, so enjoy!

Everyone blinked.

Robin recovered first. "Dude, are you sure you're feeling ok? Did you just admit to liking Artemis?"

Wally sighed, "Argh, no, yes, I just, I just don't know what to think!"

"You like her, but are afraid of rejection, you said it yourself." Kaldur stated.

"Yeah, but I don't know if I like her, of if I'm just too convoluted with what everyone thinks I feel." Wally murmured.

"Or the fact that you two shared two lovely dream land kisses." Robin made some kissy faces.

"Dude!" Wally pushes his friend away and Robin falls over, laughing his head off.

==Mount Justice Training Room

Artemis didn't know why in the world she had to fall for the blindest and most stubborn guy ever born. Plus, what was she supposed to do? 'Show compassion'? What the hell did that even mean? Her father hadn't taught her how to ask a guy out, just how to break his nuts and neck if they became too much of a pain in the ass, and she was sure that that wasn't a great pick-up line.

Artemis sighed. How was it that some girls had the grace of a butterfly, or whatever graceful animal they compared them to, and she felt about as subtle as a fire engine with her social skills.

Artemis knew that destroying more equipment wouldn't end in anything good, except for Wally falling and staying unconscious for a couple of days more, and Artemis wasn't about to start feeling guilty about that now. She hadn't felt guilt when she had to do all the dirty work for her dad, so she saw no reason to show more weakness now when she was technically responsible for what happened to Wally.

She started walking around and then came to Wally's souvenir room, where all his prizes were kept. Turning the light on, she snickered when she saw her arrow on its stand. She has thought about taking it back, but she knew that Wally would never consent to it. She shuddered at Jade's mask there, leering at her, taunting her. Then she saw the golden helmet, and it seemed to glinting, almost as if alive. She had to touch it, she just had to.

Artemis extended her hand, and went on her tippy toes to be able to reach better. As her hand brushed the fine metal, she lost all sense of her surroundings.

==Mount Justice hallway

Wally needed to get some fresh air, that's all. He felt like he was suffocating under all the pressure from his teammates. Why were they so persistent in getting them together? They were polar opposites, and although he had enjoyed toying with the idea in that dream of his, he wasn't quite sure of what to think.

He was passing by his souvenir room when he saw that the light was on. He actually hadn't gone in there for a while now, and was ready to chew out whoever was inside, browsing through his stuff.

"Artemis!" Wally exclaimed. The archer was touching that cursed helmet, a faraway look on her eyes, but the rest of her face was frozen in terror. As Wally looked on closer inspection, he saw tears on her face. He neared her, and wondered how he could get her out of this.

As he raised his hand, it seems that whatever was going on ended, and Artemis started to fall. Luckily, Wally's super-fast reflexes caught her just in time.

As Artemis' eyes fluttered open, she caught sight of Wally, and all of a sudden she yelped, jumping out of his arms, her legs flailing, smacking him straight in the face.

"OW! Thanks for that." Wally exclaimed, clutching his chin.

Artemis didn't reply to him, but was merely staring at him with wide eyes, and she then bolted from the room.

Wally glared at the helmet, as though it were an actual person. "What did you do to her?" He growled as he ran out to find Artemis.

==Outside

Artemis had to get away from all of this. She didn't know what that helmet did to her, but it had shown her how weak she had gotten. She was shown images of her father sneering at her, telling her to do what she was destined to do, to end all heroes once and for all, become a champion for the Shadows. She had seen her friends'-no, team mates' faces, silently begging to not give in so easily.

She was conflicted. Her 'wonderful' father was holding her mother as ransom. Sure she got to see her, and spend time with her, as long as she kept an eye on the team. The moment that she betrayed them, he'd whip out a gun and kill her mother.

She thought it'd be an easy job. Get some info, fool her team mates, and get out. However, she wasn't expecting in actually liking to hang out with them. She always thought heroes were people hat thought they were better than others and decided to flaunt around in oddly coloured clothing, showing off their superiority.

But, now that she saw that they cared, and that she was being treated like one of them, she was conflicted on what to do. But betraying her friends was only part of the problem.

She had actually fallen for one of them. And she was sure that Wally would never want to be with her, especially once he found out who she really was. She was completely lost on what to do.

And she certainly couldn't talk to anyone about it. Her father was out of the question, and her mother wouldn't be much help either. Paula Crock didn't know that Artemis was planning on betraying her friends, and that her life was at stake if Artemis didn't do as she was told.

And the rest of the team would probably lock her up once they found out she was one of the bad guys, especially a Shadow.

Artemis then perked up as soon as she heard her name being called. She turned around and saw Wally speeding over to her. However, as Wally tried to brake, he lost his footing and went skidding...straight into Artemis.

As they both crashed into the ground, they blushed, unsure of what to do. Then Wally, always acting on spur of the moment, kissed her.

They were both savouring the moment, hungrily kissing the other, before Artemis broke it off. Gently pushing him away, she walked off.

Alright, so, this chapter was a bit easier to write...so hopefully it was more enjoyable :D

Anyway, today's theme will be Cold! So people can hazard a guess as to what it'll be from the last line right?

So, if Word doesn't decide to crash [batglare] then I should have the chapter up sometime tonight :D

Please leave a review!
