35. Fans
Wally was at his Uncle's house, chilling and hanging out alone in the house. His uncle was working late shift and his aunt was working on a big story so she is also working late. Wally sighed, bored and flipping through the channel with a dull expression. He had no words to explain how bored he was. What did Zatanna say, right, his boredom is bored.
At that moment he stopped at a news channel. They seem to be doing an exclusive on Star City, and live. It was Artemis and Green Arrow. Joy, not like he doesn't see her almost everyday of his life-oh wait! He does see her everyday of his life and now he has to see her on TV too, that's just great.
Wally wouldn't admit it out loud, but...Artemis does have some great moves. Shooting the arrows, dodging the opponents' attack, and the fire in her eyes trying to bring them down. He watched her shoot the arrow down from the roof and zip right down; her feet meeting the target's face. He was knocked out. Artemis, with quick reflex, pulled out another arrow and disarmed the other gun man. Green Arrow had his fair share of action, but for some reason Wally's attention was on Artemis the whole time. Her movement, how her body and muscles would stretch. My God...there must be something wrong with him.
He wanted to turn the channel, but his fingers wouldn't move and his eyes would not avert from the screen; they were glued there. It was over and the press wanted a few words with them. While Green Arrow was being interviewed, Artemis hung back and waited patiently for the interview to be over. An amused smile reached his lips when Artemis rolled her eyes and sighed with relief when Green Arrow finished talking with the reporter. They were about to leave when...
"I LOVE YOU ARTEMIS!"
Artemis froze, Green Arrow froze, and Wally froze the minute those words left. The camera swerved to the crowd and saw a teenage boy around 17 or 18 staring at said blond female archer. Her almond, stormy gray eyes were wide with shock and bewilderment while Green Arrow looked down right pissed. He wasn't the only one.
"Will you go out with me?" The crowed cheered at the boy's straight forward question. Artemis looked like she was lost for words.
Oh God, he did NOT just say that.
"You did not just say that." Green Arrow hissed stepping forward. That seemed to have snapped Artemis out of her stupor as she grabbed her mentor's arm and pulled him away.
"We should go GA, c'mon." The two were quickly off-screen, with Green Arrow struggling making it harder for her to pull him out of the scene.
Wally turned off the T.V. and slowly put the remote down with a dazed expression.
It was like...a ephiony or something.
"Hey, Wally...is everything okay?"
His uncle was back, but right now nothing was processing through his head, too deep in his own thought. Barry was probably frowning at him in concern with the lack of response he was getting from his nephew.
It never occurred to Wally that...Artemis might have...fans.
For some reason, dread started to fill in the pit of his stomach. Wally stood up abruptly, making Barry jump back in surprise by the sudden movement. Wally quickly strode over to the computer and went to the all mighty Google.
"Wally?"
"It's nothing, Uncle Barry, I just realized I need to finish a project that's due in three days." Wally gave him a sheepish grin.
Barry shook his head with an amused smile. "You should be more responsible kid. Remember, homework first before hero business. I don't your mother's wrath upon me." He joked.
"Ha...yeah." Wally nervously typed in Artemis as Green Arrow's protegé. And by God, his nightmare was coming true. Nearly over 500 hits of Artemis fan clubs and sites; the news gets better. The boy on T.V. was president of nearly all the sites here. Antisocial much? He didn't know why, but his unnerved him to no end and...possibly jealousy? Why the hell was he feeling jealous of a girl he hates, why the hell did he feel so overprotective of a girl he argues all the damn time and try to slaughter each others throats? It just doesn't make any sense! But, right now that wasn't the deal.
Picking up his phone, he dialed his number.
"Hey it's me, Dick."
Dick shut his phone off with an amused smirk on his face. For a smart guy, Wally was sure slow as hell.
"Something funny?" Bruce walked in, noticing his son's sudden eerie smirk on his face...it kind of resembled the Joker's and it unnerved him.
"Oh nothing much. Hey, I'm going to Central over to Wally's, then we're going to Star City to stalk Artemis's number fan." He grinned.
Bruce's brows shot up, but he smiled all at the same time.
"Finally?"
"Not even close."
Bruce shook his head. "My God, he's slow."
"For the fastest kid alive." Dick snorted and got into gear.
DONE~!
Since the last one was extremely disappearing I did this. I mean c'mon! Artemis is a really attractive girl, it would be unacceptable for her to not have any fan clubs and not gave guys drool over the sexy blond archer. And by how I see it, Wally would figure it out that way and react that way. Now if only our favorite Robin can manage to get them together without pulling too much strings.
Hope you guys enjoyed it.
REVIEW! ...Or the Slender-man will get you. B)
