A/N: Parts of the beginning of this story are taken directly from monkkeyslut's Infinite. Though some parts are changed a little because I just couldn't do everything word for word and not feel weird about it. I have to thank her for letting me use parts of her story in mine. And a special thanks to Haikoui for being the beta for my story, really appreciate it.

CO: Rose walks in on Dick, Wally, and Artemis in Dick's room and has to deal with the emotions that follow.

Chapter 3: Horrible Recognition

"Faster, Wally," Artemis told the speedster as she scraped her fingernails down his chest.

Dick grinned down at her, pupils huge. "Come on Wally, you heard her," he murmured as he nipped the redhead's ear.

And so Wally went faster, and Artemis moaned louder and somehow, Dick moved so he can cup and touch her.

"I-I'm- Wally, I'm gonna come-" she tells him and he nods, eyes open meeting hers.

Their mouths collide and she can feel herself releasing, and everything, just as for a second, is wonderful.

Dick pulled Wally away, fastening his mouth onto his, before smashing his lips onto Artemis'. Wally moaned, pressing feverish kisses to their jaws and cheeks, and Artemis latched onto Dick's hair, and Wally just kept thrusting into her, even though he already came, and Dick continued pounding into him.

Looking up for just a second, Artemis could see a shadow and the signs of baby blue eyes through a crack in the door. She already knew who it is without even seeing the entire person. No one else would still be there, looking in on the three of them like that.

Artemis grinned at the person on the other side of the door, then latched onto Wally's neck when Dick pulled away from her to kiss Wally again, giving the person a grand show and a moan to match when Wally hit the perfect place inside her.

Not being able to watch anymore, the trio's onlooker closed the door and runs back to their room.

"That was great," Wally breathed, flopping back against the bed. Dick traced a finger over his collarbone, and Artemis tugs on her shorts.

"What made you think it wouldn't be?" she asked with a smirk on her face.

Dick smirked as well, leaning down to press a kiss to Wally's neck. The older boy groaned, pulling Dick closer.

Artemis took the hint and left reluctantly, the door hissing shut behind her as she stepped into the hallway.

She had always wanted to be with Wally; Dick was just a delightful bonus. She didn't just want them for sex (though it was amazing and she wasn't complaining) and she didn't want them to want her for just sex (she still wasn't complaining). She wanted them to want her the way they wanted her.

Artemis couldn't even think her name because of the hatred she felt for the other girl. There was no reason for them not to like each other when they met, but now she had a reason not to.

She thought about the little show that she gave her surprise audience and she couldn't help the grin that came across her face. 'The way she must be feeling right now. How down and discouraged she must feel. Unwanted by them.' That thought caused Artemis to laugh to herself. 'I have the boys and she doesn't'.

Artemis knows how much she cares about the boys, and that made her think about what happened and what the boys constantly did while they were alone with Artemis.

She slowly made her way to her own room. "Why can't they just be satisfied with me? I'm obviously the better choice and can fulfill their every need," she said out loud bitterly. "That 'perfect' princess probably doesn't even know half the things that I do. She doesn't know that Wally loves to have his nipples licked and sucked on or that Dick loves to talk and be talked to in such a ribald manner. Or that either boy is a voyeur. Daddy probably wants to keep her innocent and oblivious to the world outside of fourteen year old girl even though she is 16 and should have been fucked a long time ago."

She heard the way the boys both moaned her name as they came that night. A normal person wouldn't have heard, but Artemis tried to pay attention to that kind of thing. It happened so often that it would be ridiculous if she didn't take notice every once and a while.

She could connect the dots with how they asked her to role-play her superhero persona, and not any other female superhero, during some of their sessions and with how often she heard them moan her name as they came. She only did everything she did, ignoring their moans of her name and the role playing as her, because she wanted to make them happy. She didn't want anything to stand in her way of them wanting, needing her. Even if they didn't really want her. She thought that maybe if she continued all of these things, then they would want her, not Rose.

After Artemis left and the door was shut, Dick gave Wally a chaste kiss on the lips and rested his head on the older boy's chest.

Wally, in turn, wrapped his arms around the smaller boy, letting out a content sigh.

"Even after all this time, it still doesn't feel completely right." Dick said after a few moments of silence.

"I know. Artemis was supposed to be our distraction, but I can't stop imagining it being her underneath us. The look on her face as she comes, the feel of her skin rubbing against ours-"

"How tight she would be as we push into her for the first time, the sounds she would make as we pounded into her." Dick finished with a moan to match Wally's. "But what would she say KF? How do you think she would feel if we told her how we really felt about her?"

"She would hate us, and we would end up destroying our friendship with her because of our feelings." Wally answered the obviously rhetorical question with a pained sigh.

Dick let out a small sob and Wally hugged him tighter to his chest as he felt his own hears stream down his face. "She thinks of us as friends, or worse, as brothers, but I can't just be limited to a platonic relationship with her. It is almost unbearable to see her every day and not be able to kiss and ravage her beautiful body. Sure we joke around, but I want it to be real."

"I feel the same way Rob, but we have to let her go or at least secrete our true feelings for her. It's the right thing to do if we don't want to lose her." Wally's voice cracked at the end.

Dick just sobbed even harder. "I can't imagine a world or even a day without her Wally. She is to me as you are, and she has been one of my best friends since I was adopted by Bruce. She was my first friend. I don't want to lose her or what we have."

"I know. I know. I don't want to lose her either." Wally admitted, trying to sooth the raven haired boy's sobs, but his own were just as powerful making it that much harder.

This was normally how it usually was after one of their "sessions" with Artemis. Sometimes without her. Sometimes one of them would start crying while they were still doing it. One of them would imagine her and it would bring a wave of emotions that would cause both boys to break out in tears. Usually the only way they would stop crying would be when they fell asleep.

Tonight was no acceptation.

Wally was the first to go. Dick knew this because he could hear the older boy's heart take a slow, steady pace and he felt his body rise and fall just as steadily, indicating that the redhead had indeed fallen asleep. Dick listened to his boyfriend's soothing heartbeat and it lulled him to sleep.

Like always, he dreamed of a world where all three of them were happy and together.

When the door to her room closed behind her, Rose leaned against it and sank to the floor. Her body wracked with heart wrenching sobs. She was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe. She couldn't think. She couldn't even begin to believe or understand what she had seen. Nor did she want to. But it all kept flashing before her eyes.

The way Wally thrust into her. The way Dick caressed every inch of her body he had access to. The sounds they made as their skin made contact; the way those sounds mixed with the sounds of wet skin slapping against wet skin.

All of it was something she never expected to see or hear. Something she didn't need to see or hear, let alone remember. She wouldn't have cared if they were in a relationship with Roy. But Artemis?

Not her.

Anyone but her.

The feelings she and Artemis had towards one another was worse than what the latter and Wally's relationship was when he found out that she was going to be Roy's replacement on the team. She didn't know how it started or even why they don't get along…. they just don't. But maybe this could be an official reason.

Maybe this was why they wanted to keep her in the dark for so long. Because of Artemis.

Maybe she didn't want them to tell her. But why?

When she looked at Rose in the bedroom and smiled, she seemed to be happy Rose found out. That made Rose's blood boil, want to throw up, and cry all at the same time. But something still didn't make sense to her. Why didn't she tell her?

It hurt more to know the person(s) you want and love weren't only together, but with someone who you absolutely loathe. Artemis sure didn't have a problem flaunting that she might have or know something Rose didn't, and those were trivial things. Specifically meant to hurt Rose.

So why had she not told her about this?

She defiantly knew that Rose had a thing for the boys. Rose, herself, didn't know what it was she felt for the boys, but she knew that whatever it was its strong and true; nothing romantic or anything. They weren't anything more than friends. They had more of a platonic relationship. More like brothers to her than anything.

It was like a sister having a problem with her brothers' girlfriend. It might sound like romance and jealousy, but Rose knew that it wasn't and it made perfect sense to her, which was really all that mattered in her mind.

And another thing, why didn't Artemis come out with them? If they were all together for real, then wouldn't it have made more sense for the three of them to stand up together?

Rose felt so hurt and confused and angry.

Why hadn't they just come to her? Chosen her to be their third party? She was a more logical choice than Artemis, given their history.

They had a long, much stronger relationship than with Artemis, not only as Kid Flash, Robin, and Super-girl, but also as Wally West, Dick Grayson, and Rose Kent. They had known each other longer and trust each other more. Their relationship was stronger together than individually, with their mentors, and with the team.

Or so she thought.

Maybe they had grown tired of her and wanted someone else. Maybe they thought she wouldn't give into their desires.

It was not a secret that Supergirl was a "perfect" child. "Perfect" partner. That was what was expected of Superman's daughter. Perfection.

Everything about Superman screamed perfect; his powers, his looks, his attitude, EVERYTHING. Supergirl would have to be the exact same in order to keep up with her father, which was not the easiest thing for her to do, regardless as to how other people might have seen it.

People thought she was the most innocent of all the sidekicks. Not even Robin, who was younger than her, was as innocent as the Man of Steel's daughter. That was what people thought and it was so hard for her to keep that image with her disadvantage. One of her many imperfections.

She wasn't perfect. She, like any and every other person, had her flaws; her powers for instance. Being half human and half Kryptonian made it so that she (unlike Super-boy who had some of Superman's powers at ¾ mass to Superman all the time) had all of her father's powers, plus some of her own unique abilities, at half mass some of the time. Plus, being half human and half kryptonian made it so that her skin couldn't absorb the yellow sun's rays, so she had power glitches every now and again.

Because of this disadvantage, Superman and Batman deemed that she needed outside training that didn't involve her powers. So, since she was around eight (just before Dick came) she had done training with Batman and to the present day, she carried around a utility belt for when her powers went out. (Never leave home without it, first rule Batman taught his protégés.)

She still might have been considered innocent, seeing as though she froze up when Roy stole her first kiss when they were eleven and fourteen. She didn't know the same things that most people her age knew about sex. She's never even touch herself before.

Maybe the fact that Artemis knew (and flaunted constantly) was the reason why the boys wanted her and not Rose. She probably knew everything about both boys' bodies by now. Where they liked to be touched, to what degree…

That thought alone made her cry even harder. She loved them both deeply, and they couldn't even tell her about this side bar with Artemis.

'Maybe they don't care.' she thought to herself bitterly. But why would Dick ask her if she was okay with his and Wally's relationship and not include Artemis? He could have that evening, yet he hadn't.

Maybe they secretly wanted her approval; maybe it was a slip of the tongue on Dick's part. Rose didn't know.

She wiped the tears that had already fallen from her eyes and slowly slid back up the door to a standing position, grabbing her discarded glasses from the floor as she went. She took a deep breath and walked over to her bed and placed her glasses on the nightstand to retrieve the following morning; lay down on her side, facing the wall. She felt a small draft and pulled her blankets over her to cover everything except for her head and neck.

As long as they are happy, she would try to conceal whatever distaste she had boiling inside her. Because when it came to the happiness of other people, especially Dick and Wally, she was willing to do whatever it took to keep them that way.

A/N: If you noticed the italicized hers, I did that because I didn't want you to confuse Artemis or Rose when one was talking about the other or when Dick and Wally would talk about one when they had previously been talking about the other. I am also starting to notice that I made my character really OOC. It was something I actually noticed after posting the first chapter, but I didn't do anything about it because it wouldn't have made much of a difference in the end. R&R please. Remember any questions, comments, etc. Good, bad, funny, ugly, etc.

Chapter 4 coming soon!
