18. Easy

Everything was huge blur. Wally did his best to concentrate on the fight, but there were too many of them. It was finally happening, the Justice League and Young Justice were fighting off the Light. Finally figuring out their plan and what they were doing, after planning out the strategy, waiting for the right moment, they finally were able to fight...all except for one.

Wally punched a Shadow member in the face, knocking him out that is when he saw her. There she was, among the Shadows fighting off a Justice League member. She was in a completely different outfit then her other one, but he knows that its her there was no he was wrong. He could always pick her out from the crowd without even trying. His breath caught up in his throat and his body was moving on his own as he tried to make her way, tried. Out of nowhere, a punch struck his face, knocking him to the ground.

"I don't think so, Flash Junior," Cheshire glared down at the speedster. "How about we play a little game?"

Wally growled dangerously. He didn't have time for this! If he didn't go after her now he might not be able to find her in the future! He needed to talk to Artemis now! Then, two arrows lodged into the ground where Cheshire was. Glancing up, Wally saw Roy glaring at Cheshire, another arrow placed in the bow and aimed at the assassin.

"Kid, go!"

He didn't need to be told twice. With his speed he quickly sped off to Artemis. The blond archer yelped in surprise when she was suddenly picked up bridal style, and was taken away from the battle.

They were now outside, away from any distraction, away from the chaos, away from the heroes and villians, and away from their titles. They were alone with each other, outside the building with the moon up high in the sky and the wind blowing against them. The two stared at each other, both tense and waiting for them to say something, anything. Wally remembered, ironicly, this was like the day Artemis left the team. They were outside of the cave, listening to the waves crash and staring each other down.

"What are you doing?" Her voice sounded tired, stressed.

"I want to talk." His voice sounded like her's.

"There's nothing to talk about, Wa-Kid." Artemis quickly corrected herself. No, she can't. She left for a reason.

"Yes there is," Wally snapped. "About us, Artemis. You can't ignore it or run away from it."

"There was never an 'us' Kid Flash," Artemis didn't want to have this conversation, but she had no choice right now. Wally won't let her walk away from this.

"Stop lying to yourself. I know how much you hate the Shadows. I know how your own dad made you do things you didn't want to. But you don't have to stoop to their level, Artemis, you can stop and quit this whenever you want to." Wally urged, admiring how beautiful she was. The moon light kissed her skin and making them glow. He missed her so much. He wanted her back and safe, and away from that damn father and sister of her's.

"You make it sound so easy." She sighed.

Wally grinned. Wow, he forgot what grinning was like until now. "It is easy."

"No it's not!" Artemis snapped. Why couldn't he understand? Blood is thicker then water, her father's blood runs through her vein, she can't run away from her destiny. "It's not easy Wally. You don't understand what I'm going through!"

The speedster dropped his smile. "I know I don't understand...so help me. I want to be there, to support you and protect you from them. I want to be with you, Artemis, and it is easy. Trust me, am I ever wrong?"

She looked up at him. Desperate to say something, to deny and reject his offer, but that damn smudge of hope was always there. Wally was her light, he guided her to the right place and make her feel like she's worth something; a feeling she never gets to feel that often. She can't deny how much she missed the red head. How he can make laugh or smile so easily, feeling safe and warm when she was in his arms, and missing his eyes stare into her's. Was...it really that easy as Wally said it would be?

"...I'm scared." Her body starts to shake as she admitted how she felt right now.

Wally stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. Artemis was indulged in his familiar smell, the muscles that she memorized each time they hugged, and the warmth and safety he emmitted out. She wrapped her arms around him, placing her head in the crook of his neck. Wally sighed in content, enjoying her warmth and the way her body fit perfectly in his. He really missed this.

"I know, I'm scared too, but I'll be with you every step of the way. Come back Artemis." He whispered softly to her.

"Is it that easy?"

"Yes, it's easy."

It is easy, as long as you have someone to support you, it will be easy.

A...slightly future chapter on this part. Sorry I didn't update this in a while. I was busy watching The Legend of Korra clips. I already watched the two episodes but I just can't get enough of it! It's so damn awesome!

Those of you who DID watch the two episodes on , do any of you agree that Amon and the Equalists are hell of a lot more scarier then Ozai? Does anyone agree with me? Please do, because, seriously, Ozai may have been an ass, but he had temper issue which doesn't make him that scary. Amon on the other hand is calm, collective, and has this cold aura about him. Amon seems more unapproachable then Ozai. At least he showed emotions, Amon's just plain creepy.

LEGEND OF KORRA IS GOING TO PLAY ON NICK THIS SATURDAY! AND I CAN WATCH IT TWO TIMES THANKS TO DIRECT TV! AHHHHHH! XD

Watch it Avatar fans! Sorry, I had to put it out there. I'm just so damn excited it's going to be offically out!

Oh, and REVIEW!
