GOTHAM CITY

February 13, 21:53 EST.

"Getting in a little late aren't we." Artemis looked over at her mother in her door away.

"It's part of the job. And since when do you wait up for me." She unclipped her quiver and took of her mask.

"I waited up because I want to talk to you. Green Arrow told me something very interesting."

"Really?"

"When exactly were you going to tell me you were dating Kid Flash?" Artemis froze. She looked at mother, for a person in a wheelchair she could be very 'imposing.'

"He promised he would let me tell."

"Yes, I know. He also said you were supposed to tell me six weeks ago."

"Well, I told him six week ago I would tell you. But….I didn't actually say when I would tell you…"

"Artemis."

"I didn't know how to tell you."

"How about 'Mom I'm dating Kid Flash.'"

"Sure it sounds easy to you. But I never know how you're going to respond to things." Her mother sighed.

"I just don't want you to get hurt like I was."

"Mom, come on as if I would ever make a mistake like you…." Artemis stopped herself short. Her mother looked at her. "Mom, I'm…"

"Is that how you feel?"

"No, I was stupid to say anything."

"Artemis, I just want the best for you." Artemis knelt in front her mother.

"I know mom, but despite all I'm ranted about him before the truth is…."

"He makes you feel like you never felt before." Artemis looked at her mother with her mouth open.

"I was teenage once, do you really think I didn't notice the change in you the past two weeks. I wasn't sure what caused it until tonight. You've been happy, I haven't seen you this happy since Jade a still living with us." Her mother grinned at her.

"Mom…."

"It's fine I just wish you would trust me more."

"I'm sorry mom. I'll try to be more open." If it was one thing she had learn on the team was to trust others. She had changed, because of them, because of Wally. She smiled absent mindedly.

"Artemis what are you thinking?"

"What? No..nothing."

"I know that look. Does it have something to do your plans for tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow is Valentine's Day." Right, how could she have let it slip her mind? Everyone on the team had been talking none stop about it since last week. Well the girls had been talking none stop. The guys still had mentioned it, every guy except one.

"Wally hasn't said anything to me."

"Oh? He must be planning something special." Wally? Plan? Something special? Well, she had seen stranger things happen. Artemis shrugged.

"Well, you'll just have to wait till tomorrow." She turned her wheel chair. "And Artemis, please don't let me have to hear things true the grape vine again." She left Artemis alone.

'That was pretty good, I guess me trying to figure what mom could and couldn't not throw at my head as in vain.' She thought to herself. She changed into a short pants and loose shirt.

Her thoughts turned tomorrow. Everyone else on the team had planned their dates, but Wally hadn't even mentioned it to her. What could he be planning? She would just have to wait until tomorrow to find out.

MOUNT JUSTICE

February 14, 16:46 EST.

Artemis had waited all day for Wally to call her. She started thinking he had forgotten. As much as that would have been a 'Wally' thing to do, everyone had been talking about. Everyone, even Conner mention he was planning something for him and M'gaan. Black Canary had even told them she and Green Arrow were planning to take a Z tube to Paris.

He had to know. She took a Z tube to the cave. She found Wally playing space invaders on the holo-screen.

"Hey babe, do you know where everyone is? The cave's empty." She face-palmed herself. She was the stupid one to think he could not have forgotten.

"Well, Robin and Zatanna are in Gotham, Conner and M'gaan took the bio-ship out together and Kaldur and Rocket are having a picnic on the beach."

"They all went out on dates, weird."

"Yeah, really weird considering what day it is." She said her voice dripping with sarcasm. Wally never took his eyes of the game.

"What day is it? He brought it up on the holo-screen. "February 14, what's special abou…" he turned to look at Artemis. She folded her arms and looked at him.

"Oh no."

"You forgot! How could you forget, especially since every else on the team is dating and has been talking about it."

"Babe…"

"Don't Babe me, you're dead." At that moment Wally's ship on the game blew up. Wally looked it, thinking he was doing to look like it just now.

"Maybe I can…"

"I've giving you a five second head start."

"Only f…"

"Four…three."

"Got to go." He ran as fast at her could. Artemis took out her phone and dialed.

GOTHAM CITY.

February 14, 16:51 EST.

Robin broke the kiss when he heard his phone.

"It's Artemis." He said.

"You're taking a call from my best friend in the middle of our date?" Zatanna asked.

"Artemis, I'm kinda busy here." He said into the phone. "You want me to what?" A pause. "Why?" another pause. "Of course I can do it." He brought up his holo-srceen. "I'm doing it right now. You aren't going to really kill him, right." A pause. "Okay." He hung up.

"What was that about?"

"Wally forgot Valentine's."

"Big shock there, what did Artemis want you to do?"

"To lock down the Cave so no one can get out. She doesn't Wally to get away."

"You're going to do it?" His holo-screen disappeared.

"Just did. Now where were we." They leaded forward only to be interrupted by Robin's phone again. Zatanna frowned. "Wally really not a good time." He said. "I did that." Zatanna heard Wally yelling through the phone. "Look dude, I didn't want to make your girlfriend mad at me, since she will be really pissed right now." The yelling continued but then stopped suddenly. Robin looked at the phone. "He hung up." He shrugged and leaned forward but his phone rang again. Zatanna grabbed his phone before he could answer.

"Wait…" she threw his phone, since they were on top Wayne industries tower, this was serious.

"That ring tone was the one I preset for Batman."

"So, he knows you're on a date."

"You realize he's going to kill the next time he sees me."

"Then I should make the most of this date." She pulled him into a kiss.

MOUNT JUSTICE

February 14, 16:54 EST.

"Dude that still doesn't not give you permission to lock me in here with her angry girlfriend!" Wally had called Robin to find out why he couldn't leave the cave only to find out it was Robin who had locked it. He was holding the phone in front of him yelling into receiver when an arrow snatched it out of his hand. It struck the wall, the arrow going through the screen. He turned to see Artemis fitting another arrow into her bow.

"Not good." He ran off.

MOUNT JUSTICE

February 14, 22:39 EST.

"Dude how could you forget Valentine's day?" Robin was grinning at Wally. The speedster was in the cave's Med center. He had two black eyes, a bruised rid, dislocated shoulder, sprained ankle and was missing an eyebrow.

"I didn't notice."

"Didn't notice? Everyone was talking about."

"Really?"

"What I want to know was how Artemis managed to catch you? You're supposed to be one of the fastest people on the planet." Conner asked.

"Chick is smart. She guarded the kitchen of I couldn't full up. You all know how quickly I need to refill. When I started to slow down she used a flare to surprise me," he pointed to his missing eyebrow. "and I think you can use your imaginations for the next part." Robin laughed.

"She's really mad isn't she?"

"All the girls went to try…and calm her down." Kaldur said. Wally put his head in his hands.

"She's going to break up with me."

"I would say that yet. You still have some time before Valentine's is over."

"You think I can make up to her."

"She's is dating you, her expectations must be low." Robin said. Wally frowned at him.

"You should try. Sometimes a sorry is all you need." Conner said.

"Defiantly worth trying." Kaldur said.

GOTHAM CITY

February 13, 22:56 EST.

"Artemis?" Zatanna called. She, M'gaan and Rocket had all come to see if Artemis was alright. When they had shown up her mother had said she was up on the roof. She saw Artemis firing arrows into a dummy that had red hair.

'One guess who that is supposed to be.' Rocket said in M'gaan's and Zatanna's minds. They both nodded.

"What are you all doing here, you should be with your boyfriends." Artemis shot two arrows at once; one hit the dummy right between the eyes and the other hit a 'certain' spot below the belt. The girls winced.

'It's a good thing she didn't actually use her arrows on Wally.' M'gaan said.

"We came to see if you wanted some company." Zatanna said. Artemis sighed and put down the bow.

"Am I crazy to be dating him?" She asked her friends.

"Well you are certainly crazy for him." Zatanna said.

"I like the guy, but I really wonder why."

"We don't always know why we feel what we feel." M'gaan said.

"That's an understatement." Artemis said. She sat down on the edge of the roof. The others joined her, Zatanna and M'gaan sat down on either side of her and Rocket sat next to M'gaan.

"He's just so..so…so" Artemis snapped her fingers looking for a word.

"Wally." The other girls said at the same time. Everyone laughed.

"You've know you and Wally had a spark for the first time you meet."

"Yeah, him tripping over an umbrella and falling flat on your face can sure make a girl's heart melt." Artemis and M'gaan laughed.

"What?" Zatanna asked.

"We'll tell you later." Artemis said.

"Okay so didn't have the best of beginnings." M'gaan said.

"But anyone can see you and Wally are meant to be together." Zatanna put a hand on her friend's shoulder. Artemis sighed. "I guess I should go and to talk to him." She said. A noise made them all jump in to attack positions.

"Whoa, don't shot." Wally put up his hands. The girls all looked shocked.

"Well, look at the time, we should really get back to cave." M'gaan said.

"And I should be going home." Rocket said. The two of them flew off. After a glance at Artemis Zatanna left too.

"What do you want Wally?"

"I wanted to say I'm sorry."

"Well that makes up for the fact you forgot our first Valentine's day together."

"I know, so I went and got this." He pulled out a narrow box from his pocket. He opened it to reveal a sliver chain with a bow and arrow pendant.

"Wally…"

"I know it's not much but…" he was cut off by her lips pressing against his.

"I love it." She said when they pulled back.

"Really?"

"Yeah." He grinned and put it on for her.

"I'm sorry I forgot Valentine's."

"Well I wasn't really surprised. Just try not to forget again."

"No way babe. Next year I'll be better."
