2. Halloween

The air was cold.

Artemis could see her own breath fog up into the air. She stared blankly out at the window, bored. Her forehead touched the cool glass, she stared out the window.

Tonight was...boring.

That's all she could think of right now.

There was no mission for the team, so now they were in their respective home and doing God knows what. Artemis was doing nothing, as you can see. Gotham Academy was...nice. There were good kids there going to school that Artemis got along great, especially that Grayson kid. He seems so familiar, yet she couldn't put her fingers on it at all. It disturbed her. Artemis doesn't do not knowing. The blond female archer couldn't help but jump when her phone started to ring.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Artemis?"

Now Artemis was surprised to hear Wally's voice. He was the last person she expected to call her.

"Baywatch?"

"Yup!" He popped the p. "Come over to Mount Justice!"

Artemis frowned. "Why? Is something wrong?"

"No, no, no! We're just having a Halloween costume party here and you're not here." She could hear Wally's grin.

"No thanks, I don't do costumes...you know what I mean." Artemis remembered about her archer 'uniform.'

"C'mon Artie! Do you know what I had to go through to get a 'yes' from Bats? And trust me, it was terrible!" Wally particularly whined.

She rolled her eyes. "Wally, I don't do parties. And I really don't care what you had to do to get Batman to say yes. Not to mention, I don't have a costume besides my 'uniform', so no parties for me."

"We actually have your costume ready for you. M'gann was kind enough to get you one." This voice wasn't Wally, it was Robin, and she could see his blasted grin plastered on his face.

"...You're not going to take a no for answer, are you?"

"Nope!" They popped the p.

"Urgh! You guys are annoying! Like kids, I swear to God! Fine! I'll go!"

Ever since Artemis joined the team. It was getting harder and harder to refuse them. They were like her second family. Something she never had in her childhood; Jade leaving and becoming a member of the League of Shadows, her dad's abusive and aggressive ways, and her whole life pretty much. Living in a dark past was never a fun thing, and when she met GA and Batman they gave her a second chance. She met the Young Justice team, it took some time to get used to it, but they became her family really fast. Heck, her mom even enjoyed Ollie's company.

Arriving at the Out-of-Order phone booth. The zeta beam portal zapped her to the cave, and she had to blink several times to make sure she wasn't hallucinating at all.

It felt like the whole entire League members were at the Cave, and all of them were wearing different costumes than their uniforms. Everything was...Halloween related. Artemis was wondering how they could decorate this place in a short period of time, but than again this is the Justice League she's talking about. The blond female archer dodged a few of the newly costumed heroes, trying to find her friend.

"Artemis!" M'gann's voice caught her attention.

M'gann was in a witch costume, which fit her perfectly with her green skin. Artemis kind of find that ironic.

"Hey M'gann. I'm surprised a lot of members of the Justice League are here." Artemis couldn't help but comment.

"I know, Flash told everyone." M'gann giggled.

"Ah." That explains a lot. Speedsters did love to party.

"Oh! We need you to get changed!" M'gann squealed, making the other girl groan.

"Do I have to?"

"Yes." M'gann's voice held no room for discussion. "Please?" The Martian gave Artemis, the puppy eyes.

Artemis groaned. "No...not the look!" But she sighed, Artemis caved in. "Fine, let's get this over with."

M'gann squealed happily and dragged the very reluctant archer off.

"Dude? Where's Artemis? I thought she'd be here by now." Wally frowned. His costume was a mummy. Some of the bandages were hanging loose to give it more real feel.

Robin, currently in a vampire costume, shrugged. "I don't know, she did say that she was coming."

"Conner! Did you hear her come in?" Wally asked the Boy of Steel, currently a werewolf.

He shook his head. "The music is a bit too loud for me to hear her, not to mention with all these people chattering." The clone scowled. "Why are we having a party here again?"

"Because! It's Halloween! And since we are too old to go trick or treating...well, most of us anyway." Wally grinned down at the Boy Wonder.

"Hey! I don't do trick or treating." Robin quickly defended himself.

"Yeah, yeah, ye-" The last word caught between Wally's throat as he saw who was in the entrance.

It was M'gann, but he barely noticed her. The person he noticed right now was Artemis. Artemis, ironically enough, was in a Greek Goddess costume. The white cloth was like silk. The dress was a long sleeved, shoulder less dress. Gold straps were tied loosely around her waist, and her ring bracelet was also gold. Now, her hair was loose, no longer in a pony tail. Her hair was now moving freely, and her bangs were no longer held back. There was even a gold necklace for her!

Artemis was glowing, and he couldn't get his eyes off of her.

"This is stupid." Artemis grumbled. "I mean this is really stupid. Really? A Greek Goddess?"

"Oh, but it suits you so well!" M'gann squealed.

Artemis rolled her eyes.

"Artemis?"

Said girl cringed at the sound of his voice. Oh great, maybe she'll die of embarrassment.

"Okay, get it over with, Baywatch." Artemis crossed her arms, her back facing him.

"..."

Artemis was confused. Usually by now the young speedster would be teasing her to no end, then it starts their bickering.

"Wally?" Artemis turned around.

She blinked in surprise to see a red faced mummy. He opened his mouth, but no word came out. He closed his mouth and reopened it, but again, nothing came out. Wally was trying his best to say anything to Artemis, but the minute she turned around, his brain just went dead.

"Wally?" Artemis asked softly, gently touching his shoulder.

The mere touch from her send shivers down his spine, a good shiver. Wally couldn't help it. He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her into a kiss. Artemis let out a squeak in surprise, her eyes wide. M'gann, who disappeared and was with the others, squealed.

"Camera! I need my camera!"

"Wow...who knew Wally had it in him." Robin commented, still a bit stunned.

"It's about time. Their bickering was starting to get annoying." Superboy crossed his arms, but he felt happy for his friends.

"I agree, though a Greek Goddess and a Mummy makes an unusual couple." Kaldur smiled at his teammates.

"Yeah, you don't say." Robin chuckled.

Artemis didn't know how long the kiss last, but she was enjoying it. At first it was a surprise and a shock that Wally was kissing her, Artemis Crock, the girl that he loathed and he was now kissing her. Artemis broke away from the kiss, a smile on her face, and a little breathy.

"So..." Wally's face was still red.

"So..." Artemis's smile widen. Wally couldn't help but smile back. The female archer noticed something. "Uh, Wally? I think you should run."

Wally blinked, confused. "Why?"

"Because my mentor is right behind you and is about to kill you." She answered.

Wally stiffened, slowly turning around to see, indeed, Green Arrow glaring oh so deadly down at the young speedster. Wally gulped nervously, before giving the older man a sheepish grin. It didn't take long for Wally to speed down the hallway and Green Arrow hot on his trail. Artemis watched them with amusement, and she gently touched her lips with a light blush on her cheeks.
