Wally was literally shaking with anger, enough that for a moment he thought he could vibrate through a wall like his mentor.

Artemis was standing on the other side of the kitchen, smirking while chewing on one of Megan's first successful batch of snicker doodles. Robin stood next to her, laughing.

"What is with you?" Wally shouted, flailing his arms. "Why don't you just mind your own business?"

"Why don't you realize you're way out of your league?" Artemis retorted. She turned her back on him, opening the fridge and pulling out a carton of milk. She offered some to Robin before sitting on the counter, dipping her snicker doodle and taking a bite.

He glared at her all the while, his anger rising. He was beyond annoyed at how she could prod into his business, insult him, and then nonchalantly eat cookies in his face. And the look on Robin's face only added to it; some best friend he was.

"What does that matter to you?" Wally asked, moving in front of Artemis. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Robin exit the room but was too pissed off to notice.

She flipped her hair, waving him away. "You're a nuisance to Megan. She's just too nice to say it."

"Oh really? That coming from the replacement," he answered back with clenched teeth.

She was suddenly nose to nose with him, her eyes narrowed.

"Don't call me that. Ever."

He stared at her, feeling his anger recede and a light blush creeping up his neck. Her breath was cool on his face, and his eyes slowly trailed downward to her lips.

The room was a lot warmer and he had to force himself to keep from looking any lower, lifting his gaze back to her eyes. Her face was barely an inch away from his.

"Why do you act like that?"

Artemis lifted her eyebrow. "Like what?"

"You know," Wally said, scratching the back of his head. "Like a stuck up priss." He saw her glower at him and quickly added, "I mean sometimes you're nice, or at least to everyone else on team. And you were nice to me that time."

Artemis opened her mouth to ask him what he was talking about before promptly shutting it. She turned her face away from him, cheeks a light pink. "That was different. I just didn't want to hear you complaining for a week about how your neck hurt."

Even he could see clearly through that thinly veiled lie. "Yeah right," he scoffed. "You're not fooling anyone Beautiful." The minute it slipped out of his mouth he mentally slapped his forehead.

Artemis grinned wolfishly. "Beautiful? Lost your memories again?"

"That was-" he sputtered, his face turning redder by the second. "Like you should be talking Miss. Ninja Boyfriend!"

"Am-nesia," she replied angrily. They were both bright red now and glaring at each other like they had been a few minutes ago.

She broke the stare down by sliding slowly off the counter top, now looking everywhere else but at him. "I'm leaving."

He was about to answer back when a warm body fell on him, both of them falling down on the floor. He was pushed up against the fridge, Artemis sprawled on him. She had failed to notice the carton of milk she had placed precariously on the countertop, knocking it down when she got up and slipping in a pool of milk that was now staining their clothes.

Wally was acutely aware of every curve of her body and how it molded into his. A hot feeling filled the pit of his stomach, her knees straddling him.

She pulled back slightly so that they were at face level and dangerously close. He felt a tightness in chest and moved forward so that they were centimeters apart, staring intensely into her eyes. Artemis licked her lips as they moved to close the gap, both of them impatient.

The door to the kitchen swung open and Wally was sitting alone on the floor, dazed and confused. Robin walked in to see Artemis pick up a rag, swiftly wipe up the milk, throw away the carton, and leave the room. She mouthed 'slow' to Kid Flash as she exited, smiling.

"Dude!" Wally exclaimed, getting up from the floor with a flush. "I am seriously reconsidering our friendship."
