A/N. hey everyone sorry for the late been having my papers plus feeling a little low, so please review its only encouraging and would let me to write more :) really i know this chap must be week im im trying for something new in the next one so check it out
A few days went by and they said nothing to eachother, Artemis just avoided him the entire time that she was with the team and she wouldn't stay to be alone with Wally, either she was with Megan or Zatana.
Wally on the other hand had the other way around and was really trying to get her alone but every time he would she would walkout or call after someone, which made it harder for him to apologize.
Artemis wasn't one who would share, but everyone did have a feeling that something was going, whenever Megan would ask, all she would say is "hes just a jerk" and that's it. Wally did tell robin that yeah he was a jerk, but didn't spare him the details, cuz he knows that he would get a punch from his best friend though he deserved it but still.
One evening at Gotham Artemis was making her way to one of the zeta tube, just then….
"Artemis, what are you doing here?" he asked her all surprised.
"you can drop the act, I know u know that I live here in Gotham"
"ok…"
"dose the the whole team know?" she asked as he was just about to step in but stopped
"yeah" he said not looking at her.
"well whatever its not like archers are only from star city" she said getting in.
"Artemis B0.." then the white light. Robin sighed getting in just after the light was gone. "Robin B0…" he was greeted by batman, tornado black canary and the team less red arrow. and there on the holographic screen was lee Luther and another man and women.
"this is Lee Warwick. He is the new leagal major share owner of Warwick co. " robin took out his own mini holoprojecto thing from his glove,
"the only biological son of Eyan Warwick, due to family issues he and his mom were cut off until he turned 18 and now they are in." robin said Artemis and the whole team were listening, well she was more attentive then the others. Wally on the other hand kept looking at her to see what she was thinking.
"but since his uncle " enlarge on another image with a man in his 40s with blond hair "Riley was in control since over 5 years the company is not so welcoming" said batman
"especially to a child, like himself" said tornado.
"why… you think he cant do it" Artemis said in a defending yet impolite way, placing a hand on her hip in a tough way. Wallys clenched his fist.
"nobody is saying he cant but he is just a child only 18, thats a lot to of burden" Black Canary interjected, noticing her reaction.
"Either way what does this have to with us, what does lex has to do with this?" Connor said bored not really interested in the person. Batman narrowed his eyes at him, then continued.
"we have reason to believe that, Riley and lex were working together to create a drug that can gain control over the human brain. And given to the right people they can have complete power. That box in boston last week was the remote," everybody was paying close attention to each word batman said, and taking in the seriousness of this situation.
"but with both the drug and remote its seems they have it all why ahavnt they done any thing yet?" Zatana to the everyone.
"it may seem that due to recent changes in the company the project is on hold." Batman answered.
"that may have just bought us some time" Kaldur said. Arms crossed over his chest
"precisely so I want you to go and investiaget that this facility and find out what you can." Batman said and enlarged on to a Luther corp factory. "Mission is only to investigate and report." Conner clenched his fist, just thinking about lex, mind control got him really frustrated.
Megan could feel the anger coming off of her boyfriend she didn't have to read his mind to know something was up, she assumed it was the topic of mind control. Well she was half way there , she held his hand for comfort. And he did ease at her touch.
"how do we know that this lee guy isn't in on this plan, for all we know he might want revenge" Wally said in a nasty way. Artemis shot a look at him he looked at her straight for a minute before he turned away.
"ammmm maybe because he just came in, if he was he would have given this project a green light the minute he took control genius." She said before anyone else could. "beside just because you don't understand things don't jump to conclusions" she said turning away now more imply on herself.
Wallys expressions went soft on her last comment and he was embarrassed again.
"lovers quarrel again " Zatana said in a low voice to robin, But Kaldur also heard.
They were quiet the entire time, spoke of nothing more then about the mission, even super boy was quiet,
"we are here" Miss Martain said.
"link us up" Aqualad said.
"link is up"
"for some odd reason I can never seem to get use to this" Zatana said making a strange face of discomfort
"don't worry Z youll get use to it," robin
"alright team, heres the plan, miss Martian and Zatana stay on the lookout from the east side of the building, kid flash and super boy at the main entrance, robin Artemis and I will go in and retrieve whatever information we can." He said this as everyone got out of the bio ship.
"ok " said everyone and everyone proceed to there position, superboy stood back to take a look at his shield debating on whether to use them or not.
"maybe I wont need them"
"yo supy aren't you coming" said kid flash
"yeah coming"
Robin aqulad and Artemis made there way in to the main control room Where robin hacked the computer, and Artemis and Aqualad stayed on guard. "wahoo you guys should really check out the stats on this." Robin said as we was downloading the files from the main computer to his flash drive. "it's a good thing your friend took over the twisted family business before…."Artemis shot him a look, Aqualad took notice, "ok shutting up now." He said as he nervously looked away and did his hacking thin.
"Artemis, do you know this lee person were you aware of this?" the leader asked, surprised and confused though, like asking a child who ate the last cookie. She didn't say anything cuz Wally interrupted.
"yeah didnt u know they are like tight" one could almost taste the bitterness in Wallys tone.
"we went to school together" Artemis said ignoring Wally.
"and now he gose to my school" robin said trying to make it easy for Artemis, since he did make it weird right now.
"wait if you know him you could probably get him to show u around his new office, and get more information on the project ammm…."
"project domination." Robin filled in to superboy.
"a little too cliché don't you think" superboy said with an eyebrow raised
"yeah, Artemis flaunt that stuff of yours to get his attention." Zatana said. All three girls blushed at the sudden realization that the boys were also listening.
"Zatana!" Miss Martian said outraged. "one shouldn't seduce… right" :s "Artemis cant seduce him, I mean she shouldn't cuz that would be wrong right.:S" now she was getting weird.
"what! No wait Artemis cant… wouldn't.. I mean you don't have to do it if you don't want to, I mean you shouldn't, plus the guys doesn't look straight…" Wally said immediately, then folded his arms over his chest and almost pouted.
"(sighed) listen why don't we just get the info and get out of here." Artemis said walking away a little from robin and Aqualad.
"agreed we first have to carry out the current mission at hand. Robin how much longer" he asked looking at Artemis then at the boy wonder.
"just almost give me 2 mins"…
"I don't think we have two mins… we have company" said Artemis getting her bow and arrow ready, And aiming it up high.
"now now I see your sense are pretty strong, how did you know I was here, " Cheshire said smirking under her mask.
"you and ur pupps stink how could anyone not notice." Ouch now that actually hurt Cheshire, be a criminal or whatever no girl like to be told that they stink.
"Cheshire," Aqualad said now taking out his mystical water bending thing( have forgotten whats its called :P)
"distract her!" robin said.
"you kids shouldn't be playing in the big boys game, thankfully I was prepared" she said moving in a ninja cat like way on the ledge, Before leaping down toward aquald and Artemis.
"team assistance," Aqualad said
"on our way," Miss Martian said as she and Zatana flew to them and then superboy and kidflash caught up, they burst through the door to see Aqualad fighting off 3 shadows and Artemis was fending off black spider and Cheshire off robin.
"How much longer!... Artemis said while fighting to be joined by kid flash who took off black spider from her back.
"jast a bit more u all are doing great" he said trying to keep them at it,
"I can do this all day" Zatana said standing next to robin. They both looked at each other and smiled she use some magic to through some more boxes over the shadow agent/men As was Miss Martian, while Aqualad and super boy we up against hook.
"just like old times isn't it Artemis, im feeling a little nostalgic" said Cheshire out of the teams ear shot.
"not me I feel better knowing im not with the shadows," Artemis smiled a little "but you left and still ur with them now that is sad".
"NOT MY CHOICE". Cheshire charged and used her sia and kuni to get a shot at her sister, while Artemis blocked with her bow.
"we all have a choice I chose!" Artemis said as she blocked.
"you chose ha who do you think your fooling it wont be long till everyone knows and u wont have a choice then, cuz they wont give you one, you can't hide from who you are" she said smirking. Now Artemis was getting angry and fighting in anger cant always be good especially if u aren't thinking straight.
"I… aint nobody gonna control me. I will not do what I don't want to! And the shadows is not what I want" just when jade almost had the upper hand, artimis though tof a way to distract her. "so I heard red arrow talk about you." That caught Cheshire off guard. And just then Artemis landed a good shot at her then used a quick thick gel to capture her.
"done! " said robin
"team move out" said Aqualad.
Kid flash speed away from his opponent "yeah you better run, " said the black spider.
And they all quickly fought there way out To the bio ship to make it back to the cave.
"well that was easy" robin said as he leaned back on his chair everyone turned to look at him.
Getting of the bio ship, Artemis was stopped by someone who had grabed her forearm, she looked it was Wally.
"I need to talk to you," she jerked her arm away, and continued walking.
"not now, im tierd and sweaty and just wanna go home." Buthe appeared in front of her, just almost that she bumped into him.
"no we have to talk NOW!" he said with a lot of athourity in his voice, then looked at the team , motioning them to all understood and we clearing out quickly.
"what is it Wally?" she said when the room was empty.
"listen… about the other time… when… I …. When I was…. " he was really ashamed of mentioning it again, and didn't know how to say it.
"when your were a complete jerk" she said crossing her arms over her chest, waiting for him to continue.
"yeah a jerk, listen I wanted to apologize, " he said rubbing the back of his head and looking at the floor." I know what I did wasn't cool and I totally deserved that punch" she put her hands down, seeing that Wally put his hands up in defense " not that I want another one" she chuckled at that
"Wally im not gonna punch you" she said "look lets just forget about it ok I was being stupid and I think that was just what I needed to make me realize not to fall back in to that place again" she smiled "but do that again and I will kill you!" she said moving infront of him just inches apart.
He gulped, for some ood reason he wanted to be punched again. He kept staring at her lips.
"ha you think I would want to do that again I just did it cuz you clearly need it" he said turning side ways. "beside im not gonna kiss you even if you beg me to the wall man isn't so easy babe" he said winking at her.
"whatever" she laughed at it and they both started walking away.
Half an hour later, at mount justice Artemis when to take a shower, got dressed and went into the kitchen she was really hungry, there she saw only Wally sitting watching tv lazy on the couch.
"hey" he said looking at who had just came in…
"hey" she said tying her hair, then placing both hands just above the hip, "where is everyone?" she asked heading towards one of the cabinets taking out a bowl and spoon,
"well Connor and Megan are out on a date, robin took Zatana out I think she is still having a hard time without her dad, and Aqualad went of to Atlantis" he said all this as she was placing placing the bowl on the counter and put her head in the fridge to see what was there too eat, Wally looked at her from the corner of his eye, "so I guess its just you and me" Artemis hit her head in the fridge in realizing that yeah they were alone…
" we are not alone there is red tornado" she said closing the frigde and taking out some chicken, cheese milk est. and placing them on the counter. Wally smirked at her reaction.
"don't you worry I wont kiss you no matter how much u want me too." He said looking back at the tv.
"right like that what I want. Its actually the otherway around Baywatch" she said pointing the knife at his direction. "if I remember it was u who did not me I was the one who punched you"
"whatever, he put the remote down and joined her in the kitchen "what are you making any way?" he said pick up an apple and taking a bit out of it.
"pasta" she said taking out a few veg.
"hum sounds good I like mine a little spicy" she cocked an eyebrow at him,
"I aint coking for you"
"please come on my metabolism and super fast and im already hungry …. Please"
"your helping "
"fine, where do you need me" he suddenly appeared in front of her, just as she was about to head to the stove.
It caught her off guard and was about to fall back with the pasta in her hand. But he held her by the waist show she wouldn't, a minute or 2 later she broke free, both were blushing, she cleared her throat
" why don't you just cuts the chicken and veg, make ur super speed usefull." She said heading back to the stove and making the pasta sauce and boiling the pasta.
"so… about lee…. You guys dated?" Artemis pretended to act normal, like talking about her private life was comfortable.
"hum yeah," she said not looking at him and looking in to her pasta sauce.
"when, and how long?" Wally asked as he tried to find her eyes from across the stove. Artemis started fidgeting looking in the cabinets, like looking for way out of here. She suddenly felt hot.
"like a few months ago" she found something that made her smile a mischievous smile, she found wine, expensive white wine. She took it out Wally was surprised, you shouldn't leave that in a place with teenagers with hormones especially when Conner and Megan were dating living under the same roof or mount whatever.
She took it out and looked at Wally with a smile then added some of the liquid in to the pasta sauce. Wally was grabbing her hand to stop her,
"wait what are you doing?" but she had already put in some before he took it out of her hand
"just flavoring up a little trust me it taste better like that." Wally was shocked at what he just heard.
"you drink? Wait how old are you?"
"not s much, don't you" looking at him, Wally just shook his head. "relax its not a big deal, a little doesn't hurt," she said taking it out of her hand.
"but its illegal, ur underage."
"look its not like im killing anyone,"
"yeah but ur self" he shot back
"look I drink it all the time with my da…" she stopped and then changed what she wa gonna say. "look its not like im going all out, its been a long day and night so I just wanna loosen a little."
