Wally/Kid Flash P.O.V (the day after talking with Black Canary)
I wake up sweating and close to tears. I get up and go to the bathroom. I stand in front of the mirror for the next 10 minutes trying to calm myself down. Yesterday we each had to talk to Black Canary about how we felt. We each had to go in and we could take as much time as we needed. I just sat there enjoying my popcorn that I had managed to find in the kitchen. I had almost choked when she has brought up the subject of my reaction the Artemis' death.
She said I'm in denial. I just said just I was comfortable with that because it was the first thing that I could think of to say without sounding confused but am I really. I wish the training exercise had never happened. Now it's not just messing around with not just my head but my heart too. I don't want complications. I'm good with the way things are. Well the way they were.
When I finally have calmed down a , few hours later, I slowly walk towards the kitchen. I see the lights turned on and then I see Artemis' back turned to me. I almost turn around and head back to my room but I decide against it and keep waking.
"Cant sleep either?" I say as I walk into the kitchen. She turns around and nods at me.
"I gave up on sleep hours ago. I just gave up and decided I wanted a snack", she says while digging through the freezer.
"Well I was actually asleep but a nightmare woke me up".
"I know what you mean Baywatch. Hey want some?" she asks pulling out a tub of ice cream.
"Ya. I would love some" I reply. I grab 2 spoons and go to the table where Artemis is already sitting. I give her one and we start eating.
"So it's been a crazy two days, hasn't it" she says while not looking at me or actually anything in particular.
"Ya crazy can't even begin to describe it."
"Ya"
We just sit there silently for the next few minutes enjoying the ice-cream and each other company. I decide that I wish this moment would last longer. Not exactly forever but something like that. Not even this moment. Maybe more moments with Artemis.
'Wait, since when did I care?' I ask myself.
'Why am I suddenly thinking like this?"
'Why should I care?'
'I think it's because you care Wally' suddenly adds Megan.
I almost fall flat on face but I manage to catch myself just in time. Artemis just stares at me weirdly for a few seconds before ignoring me. I think I hear her mutter idiot.
'I'm sorry for reading your thoughts Wally, but I woke up and you mind was kinda in a battle with itself that I just had to cut in' she says.
'I'm not mad but next time please ask. You really freaked me out. Now artemis thinks I'm even more of a weirdo.' I reply in my head.
'But seriously Wally, everyone can tell that you really care about her. More than a normal friend would.'
'But….' I couldn't think of an answer to that.
'Just admit it that you like her and ask her out already'
'But….. what if… she doesn't feel the same way', I finally manage to say.
'Well you'll never know if you don't ask, now will you', she says back softly.
'Can you get out of my head for me to think about this. Also so I can finish eating my ice-cream in peace.' I say almost begging.
'Ok. We'll talk about this later though' she replies and suddenly her presence in my mind leaves.
"What was that about" Artemis asks as I stand up.
"Nothing important. Just clumsy old me." I say.
She stares at me with accusing eyes for a minute and I just stand there with a wide smile. She finally gives up again and goes back to the ice-cream. I sit back down next to her and once again and continue eating. A few minutes later we both stop and look down to see an empty tub.
"Well that's that then"
"I guess it is." I reply getting up and dumping our spoons in the sink and the empty tub in the trash bin.
"I guess I'm gonna go try to get some sleep." She says after I sit next to her again. She slowly gets up and is about to leave the kitchen but I stop her right before she's able to take another step. "What do you want now?"
"I…you….Doyouwannahangoutwithmetomarrow?"
"Speak English and slower idiot"
"Do you want to hang out with me tomorrow?" I finally manage to say normally.
"Well I don't have anything better to do so, what the hell, sure" she answers. I'm surprised by her answer so it takes me a minute to reply.
"Well is there anywhere you wanna go?'
"Just anywhere but here. I need to get out for a few hours. The mood in here is just getting on my nerves."
"I think I know of the perfect place then."
"Well where?'
"It's a secret. But you'll feel the aster. Just dress normally and be ready by lets say noon."
"Wait did you just say 'aster'?"
"That little troll. He's getting into my head. I hope he didn't hear that." I say but then we both hear an echoing laugh.
"Oh he definitely heard that. But noon sounds good. See you tomorrow Wallman. Night." She says and slowly walks away and turns down the hallway. I just stand there for a min then speed to Robin's room.
"Dude I'm gonna kill you." I say while banging on the door. "How you could you spy on me, your best friend."
I finally give up after a few minutes promising to get my revenge tomorrow. I walk back towards my room, finally feeling sleepy again. I lie down and before I know it I'm asleep. And for the first time in days, nightmare doesn't follow.
Hope you liked this chapter and like i said I'm gonna try and keep up with this story and a few other I've been working on. As always comments are great if you want to leave one. Anyway stay Asterous.
