A/N: Think I might cry because the last chap was so much better. It puts this one to shame ;_; Spitfire has always been a challenge to write, so it's always either kickass or a complete failure…

Full Moon Crazy
"Are you crazy?" I spit out, watching as she nonchalantly dusts herself off after recklessly risking her life for the mission. She just tried to take on Vandal Savage without back-up, on her own, without her artillery-
Her eyes widen at my obvious attack. "Me?" she asks as hostility suddenly bubbles off of her like steam from boiling water. "Me? You think I'm crazy? You just ran into a burning building!"
"To save you!" I argue back, already playing defense. She always manages to get me on defense because Artemis has a way of playing better offense, aggressive and unrelenting. "I would never leave you behind!"
Under her breath, she mutters, "You did in Prague."
"Prague was two years ago!" God, she makes me so mad... "Artemis, you can't keep pulling shit like that! It scares me!"
"Pussy."
"Are we really doing this?" She's just pushing my buttons now. I am painfully aware of how she can get to me so easily. I'm putty in her hands and she can smash me to pieces if she wants to. "Really? I thought we'd grown up a little bit more than this."
One hand finds her hip and those beautiful eyes narrow, throwing daggers my way. "And I thought we learned not to run into burning buildings."
I groan. "Artemis..." She usually isn't this petty, but unless she was on a kamikaze mission back there, she's secretly thanking me and is just lashing out because my knight in shining armor move wounded her pride. She's always liked to be independent and has never wanted me to outright take care of her. Three years of dating have clearly made everything better...
Damn spitfire.
"Let's just get this straight," she says, getting up in my face, gaze glaring. "I don't want you treating me like your girlfriend in the field and I don't want you saving me."
"You almost died!"
Lips pursing, her jaw tightens. "Wally." She pulls back and even turns her away from me, pacing a few steps before looking back at me and saying, "You know how it is."
"I'm saving you because you're my teammate and because you were in a burning building about to be crushed by a few tons of bricks! It's not special treatment! It's me keeping you from dying!" Because really, Dick or Con would've done the same if they had the speed. It's not like I'm a moron or anything!
"Wally."
I hate just lying down and taking my beatings, but I don't know what else to do. She's got a one-track mind tonight and I can't figure out why. "Alright, whatever." I start to head off, knowing we have to get back and submit our reports and blah blah blah. "Let's just get-"
"Thank you."
Let's make my life a little bit more confusing, why don't we? I decide agains arguing and figure she's just being Artemis. Girls will never make much sense. Well, hold on... I run through the math in my head and look at the moon real quick. With what little I can see of it through the smoke, everything makes sense.
Hello Mother Nature. Love you too, let's just drop an extra load of hormones onto my already semi-psychotic girlfriend.
And she's hanging onto me, probably just realizing she could've almost died and she's letting down her defenses and once the hostility is dead, she's in my arms, breathing desperate thanks. "Thank you, Wally."
I manage to pick her up. Running her to the zeta teleporter would be faster than letting her wal-
"Put me down, Baywatch! I can still walk!"
Jesus. I put her down and let her throw another string of meaningless insults at me while she's walking away because some part of her is too tired to deal with me right now and because she's overly emotional about some things. I've kind of learned to let her go when she's on her period. Besides, it's the only time she goes full on crazy.
A/N: Going to cry, this was awful, I apologize for everything you just read. You don't even have to dignify with a review, just carry on.
Next… Let's keep the canon rolling: RoyxCheshire.
