Wally pov

I got out of the bed and opened the door. Expecting Robin or another team

member I started to say, "I'm fine... Don..." that's when I saw a beautiful

blonde standing in front of me. She had let her hair down and changed into

casual pjs.

"Artemis?" she nodded and said," Can I come in? I think we need to talk."

"Uh.. Yea sure. Come on in," I said ushering her into my room. What is she

doing in here? I wonder if she wants someone to talk to? But why would she want

to talk to me? Hmmm...I thought as she walked into my room. I turned on the

light and shut the door for privacy.

"I talked to Robin," she said looking up at me, "he told me what you did

after I died." I ran my hand through my hair and thought about what he could

have said. I decided to just come clean, but first I decided to ask her a few

questions.

"Artemis, are you okay? And don't give me any of that bull that you would tell

anyone else," I said hoping that I would be able to get the truth.

"Honestly, I feel stupid. I feel like an idiot for getting myself killed.

Making you guys suffer for my ignorance..." she started to tear up.

"Artemis none of this is your fault. I should have been out there to save

you. I should have taken that laser. You shouldn't have to be going through this

right now," I said staring into her eyes as a tear rolled down her cheek. I took

my finger and wiped the tear away.

"I don't understand Wally. Why would you want to risk your life for me.?"

Artemis asked. I thought for a second and then replied," Because I know you

would do the same for me. Because even though we fight and bicker, we are just

to scared to admit that we have feelings for each other. That fighting and

bickering is just our scapegoat when we get to nervous to tell the other how we

truly feel. We get angry at ourselves and take it out on the other, " I paused

for a second and looked at Artemis. A shocked expression was on her face.

"And Artemis," I said as she looked up into my eyes," I don't want to fight it

any longer."

That's when I kissed her.

When Wally invited me into his room, I had no clue what to say. What could I

say to him, other than put a shirt on? I decided to say, "I talked Robin," I

looked up at him and said," he told me what you did after I died." he then ran

his hand through his red hair.

After a few second he said, "Artemis, are you okay? And don't give me any of

that bull that you would tell anyone else." I thought for a moment and almost

told him a lie, but deep inside something told me to trust him. "Honestly, i

feel stupid. I feel like an idiot for getting myself killed. Making you guys

suffer for my ignorance..." I couldn't hold back my tears much longer.

"Artemis none of this is your fault. I should have been out there to save

you. I should have taken that laser. You shouldn't have to be going through this

right now, "he said as a tear rolled down my check. He took one of his fingers

and wiped it away. That right there broke my wall that I had been building for a

long time.

"I don't understand Wally. Why would you want to risk your life for me.?" I

asked him. He took a second and then replied" Because I know you would do the

same for me. Because even though we fight and bicker, we are just too scared to

admit that we have feelings for each other. That fighting and bickering is just

our scapegoat when we get to nervous to tell the other how we truly feel. We get

angry at ourselves and take it out on the other, " He paused for a second and

looked at me. Was he reading my mind? "And Artemis," He said as I looked up

into his eyes," I don't want to fight it any longer."

That's when he kissed me. At first, I was shocked, but then I began kissing him

back. After a few moments, our lips broke apart. I laid my head on his shoulder.

He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me. His strong arms were pushing me against his warm chest. After a few moments I asked him, " Do you mind If I

sleep in here?" He nodded his head and," Sure beautiful, I'll sleep on the

couch," he said playing with a strand of my hair. I shook my head and said," No,

I'm the guest I will." he was about to object but I had already plopped down on

his couch. He quickly got me a blanket and kissed me on the cheek and said,

"Night babe." I smiled and drifted off to sleep.

I was back at Superman's fortress of solitude. I had just shot down two of

the alien spacecrafts. I turned around to see a laser come at me, but at the

last second I'm pushed out of the way to see a speedster get zapped. "Wally no!"

That's when I woke up. It was only a dream , I thought to myself.. Wally was

still sleeping in the bed.

I then got up off the couch and crept toward his bed. I quietly slipped into

the bed beside him. I could have swore I saw him smile in his sleep. I was

almost asleep when he wrapped his arms around me and whispered," took you long

enough." we then fell asleep in each other's arms.
