A/N: So sorry that this took so long to upload! As many of you surely know this site has been having a hard time getting its shit together this weekend and I've been trying to post this since Thursday... Sighs, anyway this chapter was supposed to be so much longer but I decided to save all of the awesomeness for Chapter 7 because 7 is my favorite number and Chapter 7 is going to be the most intense chapter of this fic... No seriously, anticipate it.

DeathDealer1997: Of course I will explain! Just you wait its a good reason...hehehe.

Disclaimer: Do I own Young Justice? Ez dago (That's 'no' in Basque).

Day 2: Envy

Roy drove Artemis to the con the next day and abandoned her the moment they walked through the front doors. Artemis brushed off his behavior as delusional relief that Paula had had the day off and agreed to watch Lian for him and walked towards Studio C feeling uncommonly pleased that she had a few moments on her own before the day began.

"Artemis, there you are!" an all too familiar voice called.

Of course, Artemis groaned, because I'm not allowed any time to myself.

She turned to see the owner of the voice and admitted to herself that it wasn't all bad that he had caught her before she found the others. There was something she had been meaning to ask him, alone.

"I've been looking for you," he said, stopping just in front of her.

"Cameron," Artemis smiled, trying to look happy to see him, "Good morning."

"Good morning, yourself," Cameron grinned, "Mind if we walk to the studio together?"

"Uh, sure, and, uh- Cameron?" Artemis asked nervously.

"Yes, Artemis?"

"I'm, uh- I haven't been completely honest with you."

"Oh, really?" Cameron said almost cockily as he leaned closer to her, "About what?"

"About…" she sighed, "About why I forgave you so easily. You see, the truth is-"

"Artemis," Wally's voice cut through the tension, temporarily stunning her and she turned to see him standing only feet away with his arms crossed malignantly, "Junior."

"Morning, Wallace," Artemis said curtly, "Now can you give us a little privacy here? I have to ask Cameron-"

"No, I will not give you two 'a little privacy'," Wally said making air quotes with his fingers, "The next panel is starting soon and you're late. Say goodbye to your little friend."

Artemis set her jaw, about to inform Wally of the countless ways she could torture him with her quiver full of fake arrows if he didn't shut the hell up, when an excited murmur behind the red-head's shoulder caught her attention.

"What the-" she began to say but just then the swarm of fangirls that had begun to accumulate behind Wally surged forward, surrounding the three of them.

"Ohmigod, is that-"

"It is! It's Icicle Jr. and Artemis!"

"They're my OTP!"

"They are so canon. They're just meant to be- unlike Waltemis."

Cameron was shaking with fear. Artemis frowned at him and leaned against Wally who seemed appeased by her attention.

Otherwise Wally was rigid. His jaw was clenched and the tenseness in his shoulders made him appear stiff and irritated as if he was seething in unbridled anger. Artemis needed to get him away from the chaotic group that had encircled them, lest he explode in a sudden fit of rage, but the swarm of fangirls was too tightly knit. There was no way out.

"You take that back!" one fangirl shouted, "WallArt forever!"

"No, CamArt!"

"WallArt!"

"CamArt!"

"WallArt!"

"Shut up, WallArt doesn't even exist! You're delusional."

"We're delusional? You're trying to mix the comics! Young Justice is on Earth-16, CamArt is in a completely separate universe!"

"Yeah, well- Shut up!"

What the hell is going on? Artemis thought confusedly as she stared at the mass of fangirls.

The crowd was getting rowdier by the minute. Wally barely managed to grab Artemis' hand and pull her out of the way when one particularly enthusiastic fangirl attempted to punch her in the face.

"Thanks," Artemis said, staring at the girl mirthfully.

"Don't thank me yet," Wally muttered as the fangirls began ranting again.

"See that! Kid Flash is protecting her! WallArt forever!"

"Yeah well, Cam- Cameron do something!"

At that statement Cameron looked up at Wally and Artemis from where he was cowering on the floor by their feet. He looked horrified as if he had never seen one fangirl before let alone a swarm of them.

Artemis almost felt sorry that she found his terror entirely amusing.

"Ouch," Artemis winced as one fangirl grabbed her hair attempting to yank her in to the swarm.

"We need to get out of here," Wally hissed, pulling Artemis' ponytail out of the girls reach. "We need-"

Suddenly the crowd went silent and parted. It practically gave Artemis whiplash seeing the once overenthusiastic fangirls silently drifting away from the scene of crime and assimilating themselves back in to the con. It was as if someone had pressed rewind on her DVR. One moment the girls were having an all out ship-war in the middle of the lobby the next they were merging back in to the crowd as if they were abjectly normal human beings.

Cameron stood up shakily, holding on to his knees as if he were afraid they would give out.

"What was that?" he almost shouted.

Artemis stared beyond the terrified boy, her eyes landing on a particularly menacing figure that was approaching them with a scowl etched on his intimidating visage.

"Batman," Artemis grinned.

"I told you. I'm not Batman," Bruce growled.

"Thanks for, uh- Saving our lives," Wally said sheepishly, shifting his weight as he stood awkwardly in the center of Batman's line of sight.

Uncomfortable being the center of Bruce Wayne's attention Wally's grip tightened nervously and only then did Artemis and Wally realize that they were still holding hands. Artemis attempted to disentangle her fingers from his but Wally squeezed her hand tighter, refusing to let go. Her eyes were quizzical as they stared up at his face but he fixed his eyes on Batman, skirting her attempts to meet his gaze.

"I didn't come to save you. I came to deliver a message," Bruce said, turning to look at Artemis, "There is someone here…to see you."

Before she could ask who it was Bruce turned around, his cape following behind him with a dramatic flourish. Silently she allowed Wally to lead her after Bruce, their interlocked fingers not truly giving her a choice in the matter unless she wanted to start a fight, which she didn't. She was sick of fighting with him.

So focused on the fact that Wally's hand was effing warm, and that his butt looked particularly cute in his spandex costume that she never even glanced behind her to see if Cameron was following after them.

When they finally arrived at Studio C Artemis was tackled in to a noogie, forcing Wally to let go of her and stare incredulously at the robust man that was affectionately ruffling her hair.

"Um, Artemis…" Wally began to say but before he could finish the man let Artemis go.

"Artemis, finally! Where have you been? Where's your brother?" the man inquired.

Before Artemis could answer Wally cut in, grabbing Artemis' shoulder in his attempt to gain her attention, "Brother?" he hissed, "You have a brother? We've been dating a year and you never told me that you have a brother? Any more secrets you've been hiding Arty?"

Artemis tried to pretend that Wally wasn't glaring at Cameron who had just entered the room behind them.

Instead she sighed, brushed Wally's hand from her shoulder and said, "Uncle Oliver, meet Wally, my ex-boyfriend."

Oliver Queen glanced murderously at the red-headed boy in front of him at the word 'ex' and unexpectedly cracked his knuckles at the mention of 'boyfriend'.

"Oh really," the man said with faux-friendly cheer, extending his hand for Wally to shake, "It's nice to meet you my boy."

Wally reached out nervously and Oliver grasped his hand, shaking it ardently and giving it one final squeeze before letting go again.

Wally was left rubbing his sore knuckles as Artemis turned to him with raised eyebrows.

"Oh and he means Roy, Kid Idiot, my brother-in-law. Oliver is his dad, shouldn't you know that? Isn't your family friends with Roy's?" Artemis asked curiously.

"Not good friends," Wally groaned, still rubbing his hand, "obviously."

"So you haven't seen him?" Oliver said, turning to Artemis again, "I've been looking for awhile now."

"No," Artemis said, shaking her head, "I haven't seen him since he wandered off this morning."

Oliver sighed, pushing the green hood of his costume off his head, revealing his thick blond hair. "That's too bad. I was really hoping to finally meet my granddaughter."

"You mean Lian? She's like ten months old. Why haven't you met her yet?" Wally asked curiously.

Artemis elbowed him and whispered, "It's a long story, just-"

"Why can't I hear it?" Wally protested.

"I doubt Oliver wants to explain-"

"That's an excellent question, my boy," Oliver said, obviously only hearing the part about why he hadn't met Lian, "It all started three years ago…"

"Oh great, here we go…" Artemis sighed.

"I was just getting back from a meeting and Roy was…"

"What is he-" Wally whispered to Artemis.

"Shut up and listen, you started this," Artemis hissed.

"Roy was furious at me. Furious that I hadn't let him join in the family business! He was only eighteen, mind you! He was quite young to want to be involved in a multi-million dollar company. I, of course, had no qualms about involving him. He was a smart boy, like his father. My Board of Trustees on the other hand…"

"See what you've done?" Artemis said to Wally under her breath, "He'll go on forever like this."

"I'm sorry! I didn't know it was such a sore subject!"

"You didn't know that Roy emancipated himself and hasn't spoken to his father in three years?" Artemis inquired disbelievingly, "How are you that out of the loop?"

Wally shrugged noncommittally, "It just never seemed to be that-"

"-and then he left!" Oliver all but shouted, "I haven't seen or spoke to him in years. So, I'll ask again. Have either of you seen him?"

Wally and Artemis shook their heads in perfect synch.

"Oh, confound it! I'll find him if it's the last thing I do! Where is that Grayson boy? He always seemed to be good at finding people…" Oliver said, glancing vaguely around the empty studio. For the first time he noticed that they were alone.

"Yeah, where is Dick? Where is everybody? Wasn't Cameron here, like, a second ago, and Batman? Isn't there a panel soon?" Artemis asked Wally in confusion.

Before Wally could answer a voice echoed from the doorway.

"Yes, I agree. Where is Dick?"

Artemis stared at the girl who seemed to have sprung from the shadows of the studio.

"Who are you?" Artemis asked, jutting her hip out and watching the girl suspiciously.

The girl appeared barely phased by Artemis attempt at intimidation. Instead she approached the three of them with her arms crossed sourly across her school blazer. She appeared to be very young and her mid-length red hair just barely brushed the edges of her shoulders as she stood obstinately in front of them.

"I'll ask again. Where is Dick?" the girl reiterated.

"We don't know," Wally said quickly, before Artemis could glare the girl to death. "Why are you here, anyway? How did you find us?"

"You know her?" Artemis asked Wally incredulously.

"Well, of course, she's-"

"I'm Barbara Gordon," the girl said slowly as if Artemis might mishear her, "Now, where is Dick?"

I'd really appreciate it if you reviewed. Pwease? :3
