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.
Artemis pov
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.
