AN: This is a new story I though up after seeing some stories in other catagories. Each chaper will be moments between Wally and Artemis, they are all connected but some are set weeks, days or hours apart except for the Letter S to Z which are all set straight after each other.

Please enjoy and remember to review.

A Is For Apologise

CLANK!

The room was completely silent. M'gann covered her mouth with her hand looking horrified and Conner watched wearily from besides her. Robin had ducked behind a worried Kaldur and Wally began to back away.

"…I swear Artemis it was an accident!"

Artemis glared at him darkly as a mixture of milkshakes and various foods dripped off of her and onto the floor. She was shaking she was so furious.

"You stupid idiot!" She snarled at the redhead, who quickly began backing away, she followed him. "Can't you ever watch where you're going! Stop messing around all the time, just grow up!"

Wally frowned at her.

"It was an accident Artemis-"

"It always is! You know what you're going to get one of us killed if you keep acting like such a clown!" She snapped angrily, Wally looked hurt for a second, before his expression turned cold.

"You know what maybe if you lighten up and weren't such a cold hearted bitch you would actually have friends!" He yelled back.

it was Artemis turn to look stricken before she turned and stalked out of the room, but not without a parting jab.

"Who would want to be friends with a waste of space like you!"

The rest of the team watched her leave before turning to look back at Wally, just in time to see him silently picking up one of the glasses that hadn't shattered when it had hit the ground. He stared at it for a second before hurling it at the wall.

He was gone before the pieces hit the ground.

"Well…that was disastrous, heavy on the dis." Robin muttered quietly, the other team members nodded in agreement. M'gann floated up and began to pick up the mess with her telekinesis and dump it into the bin.

Wally lay on his bed, his headphones on, he was barely listening to the music. Artemis' words just kept echoing through his head.

"Who would want to be friends with a waste of space like you!"

He blinked back sudden tears, it was strange but he had never thought that any of the team would say that to him. He pressed the palms of his hands against his eyes, he couldn't hate Artemis for it though…after all how was she to know how much he hated those words.

"You're out of control Rudolph…you need help."

"I don't need help for people like you, get out!"

He covered his ears and closed his eyes as the two men yelled at each other, cowering in the corner of the lounge.

"Fine I will leave…"

Wally bit his lip as he heard the words, he knew it…Uncle Barry didn't care either.

"But, I'm taking Wally with me."

Wally gasped, his eyes snapping open and hands falling from his ears…Did I hear that right?

"His name is Wallace and he ain't going anywhere!" His Father roared angrily, making Wally flinch away.

"You're scaring the kid…and he told me you hit him." His Uncle's voice was cold.

His Father's was furious. "He did, did he! Well you know what, the boy is a useless pathetic little freak!" His Father spun and grabbed Wally's arm violently and yanked him forward shaking him violently, "You want this waste of space fine!" and with that he shoved Wally at his Uncle so hard he forced the man back two steps.

"Don't try and bring him back when he ruins your life too!"

Wally shook his head violently at the memory, he would not think about that. He stared at his ceiling miserably.

Is that all I am to anyone?

….A waste of space?

Is that all I am to anyone?

….A waste of space?

M'gann dropped the tray of cookies she had been holding, making the three boys sitting in the lounge jump. They eyed her worriedly as the girl stood staring into space, and worry turned to alarm as a tear ran down her face.

"M'gaan, what is wrong?" Kaldur asked, getting up and moving over to the martian. The girl blinked and shook herself.

"Wally…?" she whispered, before rushing off. The three boys exchanged glances before following.

She stopped outside wally's room and hesitating slightly she knocked on the door.

"Wally?"

There was silence.

She knocked again.

"Wally I heard you…"

The door opened so suddenly, M'gann jumped backwards almost colliding with Conner. Wally stood in the doorway, wearing an expression none of them had ever seen on his face…anger.

"Stay out of my head M'gann!" He snarled, causing her to shrink back into Conners chest, she was surprised when Conner wrapped her arms around her, moving her away from the angry speedster, glaring angrily.

"Don't talk to her like that!" He growled. Wally had the grace to look ashamed and avoided his friends gaze.

"I'm sorry M'gann, just…stay out of my head for a bit okay?" He whispered before he stepped back into his room and shut the door quietly.

The group stood staring at the door before m'gann stepped up to the door. "Wally…none of us think that…Artemis didn't mean it." She spoke quietly through the door.

The door remained closed.

M'gann stepped back sadly before glancing at the confused boys 'I'm going to talk to Artemis' she said through their mental link 'I'll explain later.' she added as she flew off down the corridor.

Artemis punched the punching bag viciously.

"You know what maybe if you lighten up and weren't such a cold hearted bitch you would actually have friends!"

She let out a snarl and punched out again so hard the bag split she panted harshly as she stared at the mess. She had been kidding herself hadn't she…friends. Wally had made it perfectly clear after all.

Bastard.

She sat down against the wall and studied her hands as blood dripped from her knuckles. How come that stupid idiots words hurt her more than the a physical wound.

"Get up."

She struggled to her feet, wiping the blood from her mouth "What did I do wrong now!" she growled. She was unprepared for the foot that hit her stomach, causing her to stumble backwards.

"I saw you."

She swallowed nervously.

"Saw what?"

"You were playing with children Artemis."

Her eyes flashed furiously "I am a child." she hissed coldly, dodging a vicious punch. Her Father glowered before swiftly pinning her against the wall by her neck, his face inches from hers. "You were never a child. You are a Weapon. Weapons have no feelings. Weapons have no friends! I thought I had taught you that…maybe another lesson will make you understand better." He whispered before hurling her across the room.

The next day she went to school covered in cuts and bruises and her right arm in a cast. She kept her face cold as she viciously insulted every friend that had asked her if she was alright. She didn't even blink as they either ran off looking upset or swore at her before leaving. Only one truly hurt her…Warren. She had really like him and he seemed to like her…and now he was walking away angrily but not before turning to her.

"You know I thought you were pretty awesome…but you're just a cold hearted bitch." He spat before leaving. Her mask almost shattered at his words, but the flash of light out of the corner of her eye stopped her.

She would rather they hated her than died because she was selfish.

She was the ice hearted bitch from then on.

What did she care.

She was just a weapon.

Artemis growled angrily as she felt tears prickling in the corner of her eyes. Why had Wally's words hurt her so much more? He was just an idiot, she didn't care about him…she didn't!

'You do.'

Artemis jumped violently, looking at the doorway to the room where m'gann stood awkwardly. Artemis opened her mouth to tell the girl to stay out of her mind or deny caring for Wally she didn't know, M'gann spoke over her "I wasn't prying…its just certain thoughts and memories can be pretty loud when people are upset." she said quietly walking over and sinking down next to the archer. She stared at the broken punching bag for a few minutes before speaking again.

"One of you needs to apologize…"

Artemis snorted, "I'm not apologising, he can get off his ass and apologise himself." she muttered. M'gann let out an annoyed huff.

"No. You both need to apologise to each other and the only way that will happen is if you two stop avoiding each other! You both said horrible things and what's worse is that you both used words that both of you connected to bad memories…" She trailed off realising she might have said to much.

Artemis picked up on it. "Wait you said both of us? What so the words I used hurt Baywatch somehow, he remember some girl dumping his ass or something?" She asked uncaringly. She was startled by M'gann turning to glare at her.

"No Artemis…What he said reminded you of something your Father made you do…what you said to him just reminded him of stuff his Father said." She muttered before standing up. She headed to the door, but paused in the doorway. "Wally is your friend Artemis and right now he's locked him self up in his room and he's hurting."

She felt Artemis' eyes on her as she left.

Robin, Kaldur and Conner were still hovering outside Wally's door when she returned. She sighed at the thoughts she was picking up from them. Robin was wondering whether to unlock the door and force Wally to talk to him. Kaldur was wandering whether they should contact The Flash and Conner was contemplating just breaking down the door and getting Wally to apologise to her.

"Guys relax, I spoke to Artemis…I think she'll talk to him…eventually…" She added. She saw the boys eyes move to look at something behind her and realised she could sense someone behind her.

Wow, that was fast…

She moved to stand besides Conner watching curiously as Artemis walked over to Wally's door and knocked, loudly.

"Baywatch, open up."

There was silence.

"Listen, open up I won't ask again."

"Go away!" Wally's muffled yell didn't seem to faze Artemis who huffed with a bored expression on her face.

"I warned you." She said calmly before stepping back and kicking the door violently. The door opened jerkily to reveal a scowling Wally, who looked from the dent in his door to the girl lowering her leg.

"What the hell Artemis!"

The girl shrugged stepping forward and shoved him gently back into his room allowing her to enter. "I warned you Baywatch, now stop scowling it doesn't suit you." she said before shutting the door behind her.

Wally let out a huff as the door shut and turned and headed back to his bed laying across it sideways, his legs still on the floor, putting his headphones back into his ears he closed his eyes. He felt Artemis lay next to him and yelped as she yanked out one of his headphones, he turned to see her put it in her own ear. He watched as she closed her eyes and just listened.

"Never took you for a Seether fan." She said quietly after a minute.

Wally grunted.

Artemis turned her head to glare at him, but he had already close his eyes. She opened her mouth to snap when she noticed something…she could see tear tracks on his face.

"I really hurt you didn't I?" She hadn't meant to say that out loud and Wally turned his head to her, his green eyes wide with surprise.

Wally frowned and studied the blond, her eyes were red and the corners of her eyes were slightly damp.

"I really hurt you too didn't I?"

It was Artemis' turn to look surprised, before smiling slightly, Wally let out a sigh.

"I'm sorry about what I said." He suddenly whispered, looking right into her eyes. Wow...I never realised how green his eyes are before... Artemis thought as she smiled at him.

"I'm sorry too." she whispered, before turning to look at the ceiling and closing her eyes again, Wally watched her for a few seconds before doing the same music blaring into their ears.

Wally had to admit it was pretty peaceful.

"Jeez Baywatch, you have some depressing music on this thing."

Wally shoved her playfully, making her laugh.

A.N IMPORTANT!

I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of A Is For...

Please leave me a review they are great motivation.

Please do not flame me.

If you have something to point out like if i mispelled a word or had a sentance that was confusing and you want to tell me so i can change it thats perfectly fine.

But if you don't like it because you just don't like it thats fair enough, but I don't want a nasty review to read because of that.

I don't really like reviews from people who just want to not only rip apart my story, but my profile and me. that has happened with one of my other story's and the reviewer also stole my story and rewrote it (badly.).

I'm sorry for ranting :D

So please review and keep reading.

Love

Arty aka Art-Is-A-Bang-Yeah.
