It takes a while, but he finally manages to guide her out of her bed and out the door, but she's like a ghost, barley moving, never talking.
"Do you want to get something to eat I'm starving?" and he waited, waited for the quick you're always starving or how can you think of food at a time like this, but it never comes so he just continues talking. "Or I suppose we could do something more athletic like hike or go bowling?"
Still no reply so he decides he'll just talk for both of them, he's good at talking it shouldn't be that hard.
"Well Wall-man," he starts making his voice slightly higher, she doesn't react. "Seeing as you can't physically go without food for a couple of minutes we should go eat."
"Ah good choice," he tells her, or rather himself. "Can't wait."
"Oh no, you're buying."
"But Artemis," he whines and he smiles when he sees her lip flicker up just a little bit.
"No, no way, the last time I bought you food I was broke for a month."
"You were fine."
"I was not!"
"I paid you back!"
"Robin paid me back!"
"Same thing!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
And so he continues dragging Artemis along, filling the silence, smiling when he catches her smirking.
"So what do you want Artemis?" He asks her as he sits her down in a booth and smiles at her.
She shrugs, but his smile widens because at least she's responding to him now.
"Do you want some sort of pasta? They make great pasta here."
Shrug.
"Alright, how about salad? No, no you hate salad I remember that, um how about a hamburger can't go wrong with that can you?"
Another shrug.
He rolls his eyes, "alright a hamburger it is."
He orders, a hamburger for Artemis and three hamburgers plus a pasta dish for himself.
The waiter's eyes widen and he looks at them, "are they're more of you coming?" He asks astonished.
"Nope, just for me."
The waiter's eyes narrow, "you're joking."
"He's not, trust me," the voice is quiet and Wally jumps when he realizes who has spoken and the waiter just stares at them before moving along. Wally is smiling.
"You talked!" He says happily.
"Of course I did you dumbo, he wasn't gonna leave otherwise," Artemis supplies, before going silent again.
"This is great! This means I won't get any more weird looks."
"You always get weird looks."
"Ya, but usually not for making fun of myself."
"You're impersonation of me is horrible by the way."
"No it's not."
"Yes it is."
"No it's not."
"No it's not."
"Yes it—Dang it Artemis!" Wally groans and Artemis laughs, and it's like music because she's smiling and laughing and for some reason she can't stop.
"Artemis you okay? Artemis?"
"I'm fine, I don't know why? I can't stop, oh my gosh Wally? What have you done to me?" She gasps.
"Me? This was all you and you're moping about, clearly you have become laughing deprived and you're body is simply trying to work its way through this."
This statement causes Artemis to snort, before suddenly she stops and her eyes go to the table cloth again.
"This is wrong," she mumbles.
Wally blinks, "what?"
"This," she gestures around her. "I shouldn't be here having a good time, I shouldn't be here with you."
Wally's heart falls, "why?"
"Because, I don't know, because people will talk and I can't, I shouldn't," she breaks down sobbing and Wally doesn't know what to do, because he thought that this part was over. The part where she cried and he thought that things were finally going to be normal again, he was wrong. Things were never going to be normal again.
"Artemis," he said softly grabbing her hand. "It's gonna be okay, I promise, but you need to move forward, you need to let yourself heal because…" he hesitated unsure if he could make this call, but he shook his head and decided he could. "Because that's what Ethan would've wanted."
Artemis doesn't respond, but she's stopped crying.
"I'm sure of it, he wouldn't have wanted you to throw away your life for him, because he gave his life for yours," he told her, confident in his words.
And Artemis smiled up at him, "ya I guess you're right."
Wally's eyes widened, "what's that? I must've zoned out because I swore I just heard you say I was right."
Artemis groaned rolling her eyes and pushing him away, "how can you be so sweet and so stupid all at once?"
Wally smiled, "it's just part of my charm."
Artemis just laughs and Wally smiles because she was finally healing.
So we have some happier moments now and we have finally started to leave Ethan behind us.
In another note this may be the last chapter for a while because I'm running low on ideas (prompts from you guys would be great)
Also school has started back up so just as warning you may not get another chapter until Young Justice: Legacy comes out
HOWEVER, for those of you who want to still read my stories I recently got into Doctor Who (well I say recently really it was like six months ago) and I've written a couple of stories for that, so if you like Doctor Who I'd be really happy if you read them
If you haven't seen Doctor Who WATCH IT! It's AMAZING!
