Author's Notes: I finally wrote my first Young Justice fic. The pairings in this drabble are Superboy/Miss Martian, one-sided Kid Flash/Miss Martian, and implied Artemis/Wally. Also if you haven't seen "Secrets", I have to warn you as this drabble is about a scene in the episode.


As she stalks off from the scene of Conner and Megan acting like a couple, she wonders why she's so angry at them.

It's not like she has the right to be angry at them for keeping their relationship a secret, not when there's so many things she can't bring herself to tell the others yet. Also, it's not as if she feels this way out of jealousy ; yes, Conner is hot as hell, and she may have fantasized about him a time or two, but beyond that she doesn't feel much more than friendship for him. Besides, now that Zatanna has pointed it out, Megan and Conner fit together really well, much better than she and Conner would have been at any rate.

No it wasn't betrayal or jealously that fueled her anger but Wally. Poor, stupid Wally, who had the biggest crush on Megan, was going to be so hurt whenever he finally finds out that Megan and Conner are a couple. Just the thought of a crushed Wally makes her blood boil, and she just needs to get away from the three of them right now.

She doesn't want to think about why the idea of Wally being hurt can make her so enraged and she's spared from any further reflection by Zatanna suggesting they should go crime-fighting. That's exactly what she needs; beating up bad guys will make her feel so much better.

She doesn't look back at Wally, Conner, and Megan; she doesn't trust herself not to say something she'd regret later.
