Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice.

Wally was walking through the hallways of Mount Justice, looking for Robin who disappeared while they were playing video games. He was running quickly around but came to a sudden halt when he heard murmuring voice coming from a behind a door to his right. He immediately recognized them after a moment; it was Aqualad and Artemis. His eyes narrowed at the thought of her and turned to leave and continue searching for Robin when he heard Artemis shout.

"Wait, not there!"

Wally's eyes widened in shock, ears pressed to the door. She let out a sharp gasp, followed by breathy sound of surprise.

"Oh! Wow, you're good," she exclaimed, her voice a mixture of awe and delight.

"Thank you. You are quite talented as well."

"But nowhere near as good as you are. I'm unrefined and sloppy compared to you, and I always finish too quickly."

"I have to disagree; you're much more passionate than I am. I can feel it."

Wally's eyebrows were furrowed in confusion; what were they talking about?

"Are they doing what I think they're doing?"

He looked over his right shoulder and saw Robin next to him. Robin had a frown on his face as he pulled out a listening device, attached it to the door and put on his earphones.

"Thanks Kaldur," she answered with a flustered voice. "You practice often?"

"Yes; my King has taught me most of what I know. He and the queen are exceptionally skillful at it."

"He taught you one on one?"

"Yes, and he also let me observe himself and the queen in order to study their various positions."

At this point Robin's face was the epitome of shock and horror. Wally motioned at him to explain, but Robin ignored him. Without warning, a large shadow appeared over his shoulder and Kid Flash whirled around. Superboy was standing behind him, his face grim.

"What are you doing?" Superboy asked brusquely. Wally gestured for him to be silent, pointing at the door. He looked like he was going to say something back but decided not to, opting to stand with them and listen along.

"They must have a lot of free time then."

"On the contrary: they are always busy. But my King and Queen are always finding time to continue; sometimes they finish in 5 minutes or less."

"Impressive. Mind showing me what they've taught you?"

"Of course. Tonight at 8?"

"Sure, but don't let anyone else on the team know. I don't need anyone prying into my private business."

A cheerful voice filled the air and the three boys froze. "Hey guys, what are you all doing here in the hallway?"

Megan walked towards them, a bright smile on her face. Wally was about to bolt out of the vicinity when the door opened and he fell into the room, getting a face full of moldy carpet. He looked up to see an angry Artemis glaring down at him and Kaldur smiling quietly.

He looked behind them to see several canvases of artwork placed around the room, as well as tubes of paint and paintbrushes. He was a bit disappointed to find it was only paintings; he had hoped he'd be able to get some blackmail on her.

"What are you doing here?" she snapped at him as he got up, a murderous look on her face. Her hand reached out to smack him but was stopped by Aqualad, who gave her a kind but hard look in the eye. She sighed and relented, crossing her arms instead. Their interaction made Wally twinge with annoyance, but he brushed the feeling aside.

Robin had, as usual, disappeared and he glanced around desperately. Wally fumbled through excuses in his mind for a few seconds before answering, "Leaving." A split second later he running out of the room, a bewildered Megan and Superboy now subjected to Artemis's oncoming tirade.

Kid Flash was at the entrance of the hideout about to leave when he spotted Robin up ahead. Wally sped towards him, annoyed.

"Thanks a lot Rob; you could have warned a guy!" he grumbled.

Robin laughed in response. "It's not my fault you're so slow."

"Hah hah," he answered, voice sarcastic. Then he asked, "So what did you think they were talking about? I looked inside and they had a bunch of paintings everywhere."

Robin stared at him a moment, pensive. Then a wide grin broke across his face. "That's what I thought."
