Wally walked cautiously into the kitchen, head ducked and knees slightly bent. Relief washed over him when he saw the room was empty and he immediately opened the fridge, pulling out a pack of chocolate pudding.
He grabbed a spoon out of the dishwasher, opened one of the puddings while tucking the rest under his other arm, and began eating as he made his way to the living room.
"Well, I, uhm," he heard Megan say in an embarrassed tone. Wally grinned and picked up the pace until he was at the corner before the room, planning to dash in and charm Megan.
Artemis's voice rang out like a bell, her voice filled with muffled laughter. "It's okay, I know. The way you two look at each other, it isn't exactly a secret."
Wally screeched to a halt, spoon in mouth. She was there. He was about to bolt out of there but Megan was answering back, and he was curious as to what they were talking about.
"Oh," she began, stuttering, "I-I had no idea. I mean, I had hoped that he felt the same way but I was just too nervous to ask and of course, 'Hello Megan!' right?"
He peered around the corner and saw the two girls sitting on the couch, backs facing his direction. Megan was braiding Artemis's hair, but by the looks of it the last part had come out rushed as she rambled on.
Then he considered what they were talking about, and a cocky smile filled his face. He always knew Megan liked him, he had seen the signs. The way she pretended she wasn't listening to him and then talked to Superboy; no doubt a ploy to make him jealous. His chest puffed out and he was tempted to strut out arrogantly into the living room and rub it in the archer's face.
Artemis turned around slightly, giving Megan a knowing look. "Trust me, no guy looks at a girl like that unless he's interested."
The Martian girl blushed in response, a wide smile on her face. Then she frowned slightly, looking sadly at her. "But aren't you also…?" she questioned.
Artemis raised an eyebrow, confused, before realizing what her teammate was talking about. Kid Flash mirrored the girl's confusion, ignoring the pounding in his chest.
"Oh," she responded, waving her hand in the air, "no I'm not interested in him. I thought he was cute, but I prefer my men more…" Her voice trailed off.
Megan pressed on. "More… like you?" she asked. She saw the perplexed look on the archer's face and added, "I mean an archer."
Wally frowned, finding himself disappointed and peeved. He didn't understand why he felt this way, why his chest hurt so much, since Megan had all but proclaimed her love for him.
Artemis laughed softly, understanding who she meant. "Definitely not." Then she turned back around, allowing Megan to finish the braid.
Her response gave the speedster a rush of relief, which he promptly avoided, choosing to look at the blonde instead. He gave her a look of appraisal, eyes traveling down the length of the braid and stopping right at the waist, vision obscured by the Martian. For a moment he impatiently wanted to push the girl out of the way, before realizing that this was Megan he was talking about.
"Hey," Artemis said, breaking the silence, "is it just me, or has Kid–Runs–A–Lot been avoiding me?" His face twitched at the name, but he remained still, waiting for the answer.
Megan thought for a moment before nodding. "I've noticed that too. And I've been meaning to ask…" her voice paused before asking carefully. "Did something happen between you and Wally during that last mission?"
Kid Flash all but fell over at the question, clutching the empty pudding cups that he almost dropped. He blushed, reliving the mission's events in his head. How did she know?
The archer abruptly stood up, startling her teammate, who began to babble. "Never mind, just forget about that question, I'm always asking things I shouldn't. Just the other day Superboy was telling me-"
"Megan," Artemis interrupted, facing her friend, "relax, its fine." Then she sighed, crossing her arms over her chest. "To be honest, I have no idea. Everything that happened after we were put in the cell is a blur."
"Oh," Megan said quietly, and Artemis continued, "Plus, I can't even find out since he's too busy playing hide and go seek." She huffed, annoyed.
Wally's ears were slightly red from embarrassment and anger. He thought no one had noticed he was avoiding her, but obviously he was wrong.
A ding filled the silence and Megan stood up, smiling. "The cookies are done!" He saw her coming his way and dropped the pudding cups, dashing out of the room. She flew over them without notice, but Artemis paused at the corner, picking one of them up.
Her face filled with rage as she threw one down, yelling.
"Wally!"
