A. everyone ok so now there has ben a few changes, as things get different in my life so do my idea, so basically when im inspired i write the way i feel like the story should go on, in that moment so dont hate me for it, this just one of the many things that will happen to. cant tell you what but just had to write it for myself. also i wanted some thing funny to happen with drinking involved but not now... (opps spoiler) but since i havent done something like so i wouldnt know that adding wine in ur food wouldnt get u drunk. lol
"ok so in just like 5 mins, it'll be done" she said after wiping of her wets hand on a dry cloth to dry. and taking seat next wally, he was pretty comfortable on the couch leaning back and both legs on the coffee table.
"nothing god is coming on," he said sadly flipping through the channels, but then "oh this is good, i love this show"
" are you serious you watch vampires diaries" she said cooking an eyebrow "isnt that like a chick show, and you watch it" almost laughing or real like a normal person with nothing coy or mocking about it.
"yeah so... dont tell me you dont watch it?"
"no no i do but i didnt know you watch it"
"aww man its finished" flipping through the channels again,
"hey wait put that back on it the big bang theory" she said sitting up properly
"lets check my be something good is com- there it is, its me on heroes today" he said proudly
"please like i dont see you enough" she said snatching the remote out of his hand. then tuning back to big bang.
they were fighting over the remote, wally tried to take it back, but she moved future away from him. he was now on his knees on the couch trying to take it back, she was lightly kicking at him, (not realy trying to hurt him) he lost his balance and slowly he was on her now and they were still fighting over it.
"give it back, come on" on top of her reaching for it. "i had it first,"
"well i have it now," the remote was stretched out over her head.
"come on they are showing an exclusive on the amazing kid flash"
"so".. still fighting over it.
"so dont you know how awesome that is."
"yeah sure, seen him, lived with him, and kis-sed him" they were now looking at each other, it was like time had stopped for a moment. and wally looked from her eyes to her lips, as did artemis. wally leaned in slowly, artemis knew what was happening but didnt do anything, wally wanted to... and she wanted wally to.. there bodies were positioned right on top of each other.
both there legs were intertwined, one hand was placed on the side of her waist, while the other was on her hand that was stretched out. he slowly felt her hand down to her shoulders then almost cupping her face, leaning in more they were touching and both of there eyes were closed.
~ring~
surprised... they rolled of the couch on to the floor with a loud thud. now artemis was on top, wally held her with both arms wrapped around her. snapping back in to reality, " i think its done" she jumped up tucked her loose hair behind her ear and walked quickly to the kitchen stove. wally was on his elbows leaning up words, watching her leave to the kitchen all flushed.
"humm smells good" artemis said wally got up and made it to the counter, really to eat, trying to diffuse the tension in the air.
"great lets eat".wally said smiling a sweet smile at her.
half an hour later.
"so, what dose you dad do?.."
artemis almost chocked on her food. *cough * wally handed her water and paths her on her back *cough* she drank some water.
"why.. *cough* why are you asking me that?" she asked not looking at him,
"just cuz... hummm... we dont know Any thing about each other so..." he said looking at her and away... didnt know how to approach her. "besides you can ask me anything" he had a cocky grin on his face, "try not to be overwhelmed but my awesomeness,
"or under whelmed" she said softly and chuckled.
"i mean come on why are you secretive, your even more secretive then the boy wonder," he said leaning in over the table.
"dude whatever," indicating at his empty plate of foods, "are you done" she was about to pick it up with her own. trying to end the convo, but wally garbed her hand so she would stay still rather then walking away.
"we are a team! we are a family" she looked up at him when he said family, "we should have each others back" he said this softly
she took in a deep breath, "look that really means a lot an-"
"yeah right, you say that but you dont really mean it." he took both of her hands and said " if you would let us in then you'll be all alone." he let go and turned to put is dishes in the sink.
"wally i..." she said softly not looking at him. he pused for a moment. but then went back to cleaning, so they just spent there time quietly not say much (awkward).
"looks like they are gonna stay out late.." artemis said after watching a bit of tv, wally didnt say anything. " im gonna head out now, so humm see ya."she said heading out of the room, Artemis garbed her jacket and headed to one of training room, for the zeta tube she looked there was wally, just standing there.
he didnt notice she was there untill she spoke.
"wally? arent you leaving." he looked up then was right in front of her.
"i am after i drop you off" she looked confused,
"what?" he took a deep breath,
"look artemis, the streets of gotham isnt safe for a young grl like yourself." he said jokingly.
"whatever baywatch, i think its not safe for a idiot like you" she joked walking past him
"whatever im still coming" he said turning to watch her walk off.
"ok " she said over her shoulders, wally was like what she said ok...
"what?"
"are you coming or not" she asked and they both walked in to the zeta tube.
they walked untill they reach her place which wasnt so far from the zeta tube.
" this is me, " she said looking at her apartment then at wally. "thanks for walking me home."
"no problem, " he said rubbing the back of his hand.
"ok then.. bye" she said, about to step up the stairs, when wally took her hand and made her turn to him, and slowly bring his arms up by her shoulders so he could hug her. alittle strange foe artemis. "umm... wally?-"
"quiet" he just held her. for some strange reason artemis felt safe. in his embrace, so safe that it almost scared her. she hugged him back but only they both held on tighter, artemis was the first to release embrace, then did wally.
"sorry" she shiffted away,
"we are a family, yeah you can be really annoying and sometimes get on my nerves but... i dont hate it" he looked in her eyes, her heart started beating quiet fast.
"you should leave now" artemis said feeling uneasy standing with him.
"ill leave when i see you walk in" he said shoving his hands in his pockets feeling slightly cold. she just looked at him since when is wally west nice to her, " go now i dont wanna stand out here the whole night" she just smiled and almost bit her lip(she felt shy)as she turned to go back in to her apartment.
"betty how is the new kid coming in today?," Susan asked with a glee, from Betty ( the school liaison) "i hear he is cute.. is he " asking hopefully. they both were at there lockers and betty was taking out her books for her next class,
"oh dont worry Susan he is, but i think he has his eyes out for someone else." she looked at Artemis who was that her locker, not close but far enough to not hear Susan and Betty.
artemis was putting her books back in her locker to change with the ones she needed, she closed it not realizing that someone was there behind her open looker door. she was taken aback not immediately registering his face.
"hey girly looking good there," lee said flirty, looking her up and down.
"shut up!" she snickered, back at him. tucking down at there skirt. clearly they are too girly for her, not really liking the breeze pass by her inner legs,
"just kidding haven't seen u in this light you know. what class do you have right now?" she just shoved him and they both were heading down the hall. just then a random kid came and put his arms around, lee trying t stand tall.
"we will laugh about this some day" he took the photo, including Artemis. and then just like that he was gone.
"what was that?" lee said weird out.
"freshman, ignore him" she looked at where that kid had disappeared to he where have i seen him before. "anyway im sure its just the new guy thing, so how are things going with humm.."
"meh..." was all he said. "anyway free tonight?" new now stood in front of her and they had stopped walking.
...she just looked at him waiting why is he asking so..
"there is this party that i have been invited to, by some Bruce Wayne." he motioned his hand in the air like whatever.
flashback.
Batman, green arrow and artemis stood in her living room, deferring her and giving her a sort of a solo assignment.
"seeing your history with this, you seem the most logical choice, you need to find out if he is working with lex luthor or is he just a pawn set up if he is involved then you need to find out when and where are the exact location of the devices, and ih he is not then he might be in danger." batman was explaining to artemis,
"but if you are not comfortable with it... you dont have to do this" green arrow spoke, after batman was done with a lot of concern in his voice, the whole time.
"but if you do consider this, you must separate your personal issues, you must be in this 100% as a hero artemis the green arrow protege we will give you some time to think, but whatever decision you make better make it fast." with that they both exited into the night. after they were gone artemis took a deep breath, and and randomly beat her head lightly. took her robe of the night stand and wore it, almost like it was needed to feel safe, with that she crashed on the bed, took another deep breath before she fell asleep.
"dont you think we are putting alot on the kid," green arrow to batman, they were at the watch tower now
"its her decision but yes, it may be alot but she is trained by the shadows and her connection with the boy may only help us." batman said in the same dark but yet flat tone. "if there is anyone who can get the job done right now is her, making her the logical choice"
"i dont know bats, she still is a girl, a teenage girl at that i mean kids now a days, there hormones spike out of control, what if we loose control?" green arrow wondered and spoke to batman.
"i highly doubt that she is trained by non other then the shadows." batman said that and walked off. knowing a thing or two about shadows,
"ill think about it," artemis gave a mischievous grin. and they both walked into there next class like any good friends would chatting normally. (yes this time they both had the same class).
the day went by normal, the only difference was that she actually had to chose to go or not if she went, she may not get a real chance and find out if lee is ok or not. either way her choice may just lead her into depths of her self. help a friend or abandon him and let things work them self out, or she could help him, the old artemis would tell her to go on and forget him and take care of yourself, while the new one... the hero artemis would have helped her friend. she stared at the package that was dropped off at her place by one of lee's many help.
in the package was a Purple One Shoulder Dress by La Femme and somw expensive high heels that were to die for. wahoo she thought it was beautiful. it would have been a shame if she just let it go, blaming it on the dress that she just wearing it cuz she doesn't wanna waste it she decides to wear it.
1 hour later
ring ring.
artemis picks up. "hello,?"
"you ready, come out?" lee was at the other line.
"wait how did you know i didnt even tell you" she was confused and looked around her room.
"i didnt... but just guessed" he replied honestly. happy to learn that she was coming, and he enjoyed hearing her surprise. "anyway come out, "
"ok 2 mins" artemis said, about 5-10 mis later she came the sight of her was breath taking, she had her hair down and on one side. and very light makeup, (she had her eyes done a lill dark, while her lips were light pink as her cheeks,) as she walked her legs got more and more exposed due to the slit that was there just till her thigh also the material of the dress was quite flowy. artemis walked out side to find a very expensive 2 setter hot bachelor car. artemis, was beyond nervous and confused what was she doing agreeing to this, she felt like a girl. but yet she didnt feel right. passing it as stress she just headed down to lee, who was getting out of the car, he kissed her on the cheek (very gentleman way)
"you look beautiful" she blushed he let her into the car.
"thanks" she got in
"ready?" he asked her in the car now looking at her, to which artemis nodded. he drove off letting the gps in his car guide him. they made it to the destination, she was overwhelmed, and looked out nervous. lee took notice of this and took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "dont be nervous " he smiled .
they both got out of the car and artemis noticed something. "hey dont they go to our school..?" she asked
"yeah they do, remember that kid who took our picture, dick something... yeah his guardian is bruce wayne. when he said we would laugh about this some day i guess this is that some day" he chuckled as he walked inside.
after a while getting familiar with everyone, and having bruce wayne stare at her which was slightly creepy. she found her firends
"artemis, lee...over here" barabara said infront of them walked her, betty and dick. they met them half the distance. lee and dick shook hands.
"aretims wahoo you look" dick said to her.
"i love what your wearing" Betty said
"thanks"good i need to umm talk to you..." she tugged at her arm taking her away a little. "we will be right back"
"so whats the deal with you and lee?" betty asked one she was out of there ear shot. with her arms crossed over her chest.
"yeah spill" barbara asked taking an interest.
"wait what?" artemis all confused.
back with the boys." so you and artemis..." dick slyly asked lee
"why are you asking?" lee said looking for the girls from where he stood.
"oh special i just thought that she was da... sorry its not my place to tell." oh smart dick. lee shot a look at dick
"wait what i didnt know what your talking about. is she dating someone?" lee asked all concerned.
"its not my place to say...its just i hear and know things." dick said all the wrong things to keep calm and all the right things to get him to be teased. after alot of pushing from lee, dick too keep him at it, "i hear she and this guy have this umm unspoken, relationship i mean its like really obvious" lee took a look at artemis,
artemis was interrupted by her cell phone ringing, "wait a sec hold up," she took her phone out it was wally. "i have to take this" she moved away from the group. "hey, whats up?"
"hi... you ok? you didnt come in today" wally asked a little concerned.
"yeah im ok why is everything ok at your end?" artemis worried alittle.
"yeah its i worried you and robin werent both here, wondered what was keeping both of you at gotham, even with the bats there".
"robin didint come in either, really how come" artemis asked a little curious.
"dont know said something about a party at the wanye co. something" he said now artemis looked back at dick, her eyes widened she gasped before she was oh and laughed a little.
"wait whats wrong?" wally was confused.
"oh nothing"she said over the phone.
"your weird." he smiled over the phone
"sure... whatever, dont you have something to do right now, i dont know like train. god knows you need to alot". artemis said wallys faced droped the smile.
"whatever, says the gir-" he was cutt off by her.
"the girl without super powers." she smugly stated fast.
"anyway im going have really super hero thing to do." he said thinking it would win him the battle.
"yeah you better go, or just stay that would help the team alot." she joked.
"i-cant-you- shuqshhhhh" and the phone line died.
"pufft what a man" she felt better after talking to wally and forgot where she was for awhile. and just side leaned againt the wall, and was lost for a moment. till she was snapped out by a waiter offering some finger food. she took one and said thanks.
"whats his name?" lee asked looking at artemis. he watch the whole thing but didnt hear it, he has known her long enough to know when things would change for her, like her feelings even before she would know it herself.
"dont know but i heard that guy dropped her home someone saw it and said that they were dating." lee looked at dick and said.
"well you are wrong she is not dating anyone, if anything then she is just messing around." he was angry now, she took one last look at dick before he walked away. "dont go ruining her reputation." he made his way to where artemis stood.
when he got there he made a 180 degree trun on his facial expression, and smiled when she looked at him. it wasnt a 'oh i forgot my problem ' smile but a double meaning or a confused smile mixed with anger confusion and worry. he put his arm around artemis waist, she was taken aback but didnt think much of it other then a friendly gesture. "hey how are you doing? what did the girls wanna talk about?" he asked ll worried.
"they we-" interpreted by a sudden rush off people screaming and shouting. they were being pushed around. lee took artemis hand so they dont separate. till they grasped on what was happen, which was they were well in the presence of the league of shadow, including her sister and old team.
"well well, if there is anything i like about these parties its the fresh young rich boys, all of mine to pick," she looked at the entire audience.
"for me i like the girls," said black spider.
"well food is not cheap here so..." hook said.
"dont worry you all can keep your check books inside, this time" Cheshire said, she was walking up close to lee, till she was at his face, she took out her kunai and creased his face with it, "we will just take him," she looked at artemis for a split second. artemis was angry and grabbed cheshires arm to stop her, "my my look at you dont you have some guts, not afraid what i might do to you and your little friend here in public. " artemis knew what she was taking about, this was getting more personal then she had thought. and she was getting in even more deeper, artemis let go.
till she was pulled in by black spider, "i think ill take her, she is a pretty thing"
"let go of her, you.."lee said from where cheshire grabbed him and pushed him down on one knee.
black spider looked at her as she tried to struggle free. he turned her around, and put his hand on her face and was "like you want her, i dont think anyone wants her," he was now held her more firm and close to his own body, he was smelling her in the more creepy, way like ill smell you before i take you.
"hey we dont want her she is of no use to us," artemis actually felt that, though they were on opposite sides they were still family. but now was no time to to go week and feel what her sister said.
"you better do what she says or ill hurt you" she said softly. with that he just held her tighter now one arm around her waist and the other holding on to one of her shoulder.
"or what." he said
"or this" suddenly some bird droped from above and back kicked black spider to the ground artemis got free and moved away. just then bat man came and fought through a couple of Assassins. everybody ran through the exit. robin found artiems.
"hey you ok, humm miss" robin asked her helping her through the rushing crowd.
"yeah thanks robin," she said
"get lee out of here," robin urged her "they are after him."
artemis just nodded and went to find him.. before she called out " robin..." he looked back, "thanks" she smiled warmly at him she really was thankfull that robin was there and broke them off, she hated black spider.
she found lee took his hand " why are they after you?" she asked him as they tried to find a different way out, untill someone got a hold on both of them, lee was immediately knocked out and fell to the ground. artemis kicked and pushed the person off.
"i must say you look... just..." frustration building up inside of black spider making him edgier. " you are such a tease." he said walking closer artemis took her fighting stance.
" stay away." she was ready but want sure about her shoes or her very expensive and beautiful dress.
" stay away or what." he almost laughed before he sot out his spider web at her.
A/N hello hello, i know things may be seeming a little weird. but let me tell you this hole thing reflect alot on my mood and my day to day minute to minute experience. now those who hated it screw you, and those who liked it love you! :D and let me know what goign on... btw up the entire night. :D
