I'm back! Sorry for making you guys wait so long. I didn't have much time to work on this when I got back, but without further ado here you go. Enjoy!
"So you haven't talked to Wally since yesterday?"
"Nope."
"Not even once?"
"Nope."
"So what, you're just not going to talk to him?"
"Yep."
Zatanna stopped walking and looked at Artemis sternly.
"What are you doing? We need to keep going or we're going to be late."
"Artemis, you need to work this out with Wally. You're letting one missed phone call come between you guys."
Artemis stopped walking too and shot Zatanna a threatening look.
"It's not just one missed phone call, its multiple missed phone calls. So if he doesn't want to talk to me then I don't need to talk to him."
"Don't you think you're going about this the wrong way?"
"I think it's working out fine so far."
Then Artemis kept walking.
Zatanna let out a sigh and then sped up to Artemis and pulled her from behind to face her.
"Artemis." Zatanna said softly. "Do you love Wally?"
Artemis didn't say anything, but just looked down.
"Well?"
Artemis slowly looked up with tears in her eyes.
"Yes" Artemis said gently with tears now running down her face. "I don't know what I'd do without him, that's why it hurts so much. I… I just feel like he doesn't feel the same way. I mean just look at me, I'm making a huge deal about a couple of missed phone calls and he probably doesn't even realize that we haven't talked for two day.
Zatanna pulled Artemis in and gave her a comforting hug.
"Artemis, I know Wally seems like he doesn't care at times, but trust me. He loves you just as much, if not more."
Artemis wiping away her tears asked, "How would you know?"
"Well, because Dick told me."
"And how would he know?"
"Dick and Wally are best friends, they tell each other everything and Dick tells me."
"So? It's not like Wally talks to Dick about me."
"Actually." Zatanna said matter-of-factly," Dick says that Wally almost always is talking about you. He said that he's never seen Wally be so in love with a girl before."
Artemis looked at Zatanna who was smiling lightly.
"And Dick said that Wally's claimed to have been in love with a lot of girls."
Both Zatanna and Artemis chuckled.
Artemis looked into Zatanna's eyes and said with sincerity, "Thanks Zatanna. I don't know what I'd do without you."
Zatanna started walking again, hooking her arm with Artemis and said mockingly, "You'd probably get arrested."
"Haha, probably."
Suddenly they heard a shout. Artemis and Zatanna ran up to the girl.
"What's wrong?" they asked simultaneously.
"This man just stole my purse!" said Zoey.
"Where'd he go?" Artemis asked.
"He ran into that alley." Zoey pointed toward the alley.
Artemis squinted her eyes, looking into the alley.
"I see him. Just wait here and we'll get your purse back. Don't worry."
Artemis then ran into the alley with Zatanna following behind.
"I'll give you one chance to stop before I kick your ass!" threatened Artemis.
The thief kept running.
"Alright, don't say I didn't warn you!" Artemis sped up.
The thief then threw a smoke bomb on the ground.
"Like that'll do anything, we're in an all- ahh!"
Next thing Zatanna heard was a splash.
"What the fuck is this?!" screamed Artemis.
Zatanna covered her nose. "I don't know but it smells like sh- ahh!"
"What the fuck, someone just pushed me!" Zatanna screamed.
"What so there are two of them?" asked Artemis, who was now drenched in dog shit.
"Guess so." Zatanna said who was also covered in dog shit.
"Ugh! I'll just get the one in this alley, you get the other one." Artemis said as she got up.
"Right." Zatanna then ran out of the alley and looked around and saw the other accomplice climbing onto the roof. She then followed him up.
"Argh! You've really pissed me off now; I swear when I catch you I'm going to stick an arrow up your ass." Artemis growled.
Suddenly, Artemis slipped and fell hard.
Artemis moaned as she tried to get back up.
"Are you fucking kidding me?!"
But before she could get back up a waterfall of paint poured all over her covering her in an assortment of colors.
Artemis still sitting and eyes closed made a bewildered face, just baffled at the series of events that had just happened.
Dick took this opportunity to take her picture. After he got it he went to get in position to get Zatanna's picture.
After Zatanna levitated herself onto the roof she began her chase of the thief's partner.
"Eit sih teef!" Zatanna shouted.
Magically, a rope formed around the partner's feet, tying his feet together. The partner fell, but quickly freed himself. Abnormally quickly.
He then jumped to the next roof with Zatanna following.
"Pirt mih!" Zatanna said.
The partner tripped on his feet, but it didn't matter because when Zatanna jumped to the ledge of the next roof, her foot couldn't grip the ledge and slipped from under her and she fell from the two story building landing in a pool of paint.
Wally heard a yelp and a splash and then moved to the ledge to see the look on Zatanna's face and then saw Dick take her picture from behind a dumpster.
Dick then met Wally on the roof.
"Hahahaha, that went so much better than I thought." Dick said gleefully while high-fiving Wally.
"Definitely!" Wally agreed.
"I can't wait to blackmail Zatanna and Artemis with these pictures." Dick said sinisterly.
"Hey… about that. You think we could not tell them that we did this?" Wally asked tentatively.
"What do you mean? That was the whole point; to show them that they can't just talk shit behind our backs and not expect there to be any consequences." Dick replied.
"Yea I know, but I started thinking about what you said. How you think that Zatanna might not want to be with you after this." Wally paused and looked down.
Dick just stared at him with a confused look.
"Well, I don't want to take that risk with Artemis. I know I said that I was all in, but I haven't talked to Artemis in two days and I'm afraid that if I tell her that we did this that it will be the breaking point between us and I really don't want to lose her Dick. I really don't."
"Wally, trust me. Artemis isn't going to break up with you just because of stupid little prank. Plus they deserved it. They shouldn't have talked shit about us in the first place, so if anything, they should be grateful we don't break up with them."
"Dick, please I don't want to take the chance! We've already got them back, we've done enough."
"No we haven't! They need to know that they can't do or say anything they want about us. That they can't treat us like they own us."
"Dick, if you're my best friend then you'll let this go."
"I am your best friend Wally."
"Thank you." Wally said relieved.
"But I can't. I'm sorry."
"Dick, I'm begging you!"
"Sorry Wally, but I have a date to get to." Dick then jumped off the building and went to meet Zoey.
Wally stood on top of the building for a while, remembering all the things he loved and was going to miss about Artemis and all the great times they had. He then decided to go back home so he could just lie in his bed and think about Artemis, because that's all he really wanted at that moment.
Yea, this one is a little dramatic, maybe a lot haha, but I saw a review saying that they wanted some spitfire and chalant. I tried to put a little bit of both, but you guys can probably tell that it's pretty spitfire heavy at this point. Also, I know I said that I would make this chapter the last one, but then this idea came to me, but I promise the next one will for sure be the last one. I already have it all planned out.
So I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, please R&R. All tips and suggestions are helpful. Flames are helpful too.
