The sound of crumpling foil and noisy chewing was the first thing Artemis was greeted by as she awoke. Her eyebrow twitched at each crunchy bite, frustration levels rising with every passing second. She closed her eyes tightly, taking in a deep breath, and sat up.
Wally sat across from her, face burrowed in a giant bat of chip. She would have rolled her eyes at the familiar sight of her teammate's bottomless pit of a stomach, but a rush dizziness overtook her and room began to spin. She quickly laid her head back down on the pillow and looked around once her mind cleared.
Artemis was in the infirmary of Mount Justice, laying in one of the many hospital beds that lined the walls of the room. She noticed an IV line in her right arm as well as several bandages. Her free hand patted the back of her head lightly and felt thick bandages covering her skull.
What happened? she wondered curiously, trying to remember how she got those injuries. Her eyebrows furrowed in concentration as she attempted to recollect the mission's events, but the only thing she could remember was when Kid Flash and her were captured and separated from the team.
The sound of crinkling had stopped, and she heard the creak of a chair of Kid Flash rose. Artemis's first reaction was to close her eyes and act like she was asleep, only to wonder why she was feigning sleep in the first place.
She felt his presence next to her bed, leaning over the railings alongside of it. Her heart was beginning to race, pounding so loud she actually thought he could hear it. 'Why am I nervous?' she asked herself, confused. A feeling of body warmth washed over her and she could feel he was extremely close; too close. Her eyes were itching to open, to see what he was doing.
It continued on for what felt to Artemis like hours, but was probably only minutes: the body heat of Kid Flash hovering over her, inching closer, and her tenuous control of her body as it fought to squirm under the heated gaze she felt she was under.
Suddenly she felt him lean closer, specifically over her face. Panicked thoughts raced through her mind on what to do, if to do anything. Unconsciously, her lips pursed in anticipation, a soft tint of pink settling upon her cheeks.
A loud crinkle of foil halted all thoughts in her mind, followed by extremely loud munching. Artemis's eyes flew open and she sat up, butting heads with a very surprised Kid Flash.
"Woah!" he shouted, pushed back from the force, and lost his balance, unceremoniously crashing onto the floor. Artemis lowered her head slightly to quell the oncoming dizzy spell and glared at him intensely, eyes a steely blue.
"Do that again and I'll knock your jaw shut."
A/N: Sorry about the long wait, I've been on vay-cay and extremely uninspired since there hasn't been any new episodes (minus the one they by mistake put on the cartoon network website). I'll be responding to the reviews I've received and thank you for reading x) Also, you're invited to give me ideas!
