Wally's POV:
I quit. I quit the league and all of it. I just wanted to be with Artemis and after what happened all those years ago. After most of the team broke off because of Tula dying. Because Kaldur went off the deep end, because he is Black Manta's son. Because it felt like the world was ending. Except it didn't. Those five years changed all of us. Kaldur turned all Jr. Manta. Robin became Nightwing and team leader. Zatanna and Rocket moved onto the big boy leagues. Superboy and Megan broke up. Artemis and I we moved on to the quiet life. Being a superhero wasn't for me anymore. But for them, my friends, it was just beginning. I got out before I could go down with them. I was lucky.

Superboy's POV:
I wanted her back and that no good fish face didn't deserve her. I know after what she did, how could I forgive her? She-she- I can't even think about it. It was so horrible, but maybe I could change her. Make her understand that what she did was wrong. I wanted to help her. I loved her.
"Ohhh La'gaan, you're so funny. I love it when you…Oh Conner. I didn't see you there." M'gann said laying the love talk on thick. Ugh. Fish barf disgusted me. It was even more disgusting since she was feeding him cookies, kelp doodles.
"Yeah whatever. I just came to get a drink." I said going for the fridge and maybe not accidently bumping into Lagoon butt. "Sorry, am I in your way."
"Conner!"
"M'gann, it's okay I was just leaving. I'll talk to you later." They kissed, showing off how passionate they were, before he left. Most likely to go find out what color pee is since you can't see it underwater.
I went back to finding myself a drink. "Conner I can't believe you did that." Soda? No. Lemonade? Ugh. Whatever that goop was? Never. "Conner? Don't pretend you can't hear me." Oh hey, water!
I turned around to leave, but she was in my way. "Sorry, M'gann I have to train with Black Canary. I don't have time."
"No, you have time for this." She said putting her hands on her hips adamantly. I gave in. It was just so cute the way she…wait, I hated her. "You can't be so mean to La'gaan. It hurts his feelings."
"I can and I just did. I really got to go." I said gulping down half the water in the bottle.
"Sit." She pushed me down into a chair. Granted I kind of let her. "Look, La'gaan is trying really hard to be your friend and all you do is put him down."
I almost started laughing. "I put him down? He deserves it. Do you even hear the things he says to me? And you know what's worse?"
"What Conner?"

Beast Boy's POV:
"They're fighting again," I said. "I wish they wouldn't fight."
"We all do BB. They're just so perfect for each other. Why can't Megan see it?" Wonder Girl said patting me on the back. The two of us had been on our way to the kitchen when we heard Conner and Sissy. Wonder Girl was right they were perfect for each other. They just didn't see it and Sissy was too wrapped up in making Conner jealous with Lagoon Boy that she didn't see how much it really hurt him.
"What are you two going?" Nightwing said from behind us. Man that dude could creep.
"Nothing." Wonder Girl and I said at the same time.
"Exactly, you two should be training. Now go." He said pointing to the training room.
"Fine." We said together then both of us slumping off to the training room. I wanted to see what happened. I wanted to see if they got back together again, because well I knew they would eventually.

Nightwing's POV:
"Wally, get over here." I whispered to the speedster hiding behind the wall. I had to get rid of the smaller heroes. They didn't need to see this. "So, two-hundred they kiss. Three if they get back together."
"I say four she breaks up with Lagoon kid tonight. And I'll match your two with a five that they all out make-out." Wally said. Our betting, while still childish, was getting more mature. I realize we shouldn't participate in that kind of conduct, but it was, well fun. "Is it bad that we're doing this?"
"It's chalont." I said.
"I almost forgot about that." Wally said kind of sadly.
"Do you regret leaving the team? Because you're always welcome to come back."
"And end up like them," He said talking about Megan and Conner. "No way. I chose Artemis over all of this."

Superboy's POV:
"I'm still in love with you and you don't even care." I blurted out.
"Conner…" She said sweetly. At that moment I wanted to just go back in my pod. Or have my mind wiped, anything but this.
"Just don't say anything. I get it." I said starting to leave.
But I felt my body lift up off the ground as I passed her. In the air I turned, unable to move my body other than how she manipulated it. She placed me in front of her. So, close we touched. "Conner, I missed you. I'm sorry." And then she kissed me and she kept kissing me. It was like it used to be. And I knew then that I could change her. That I could make her the person I knew she could be, the better person. The person that I loved, because she understood me better than anyone else and that is why she was mine. Forever she would be mine.

Two Hours later: Nightwing and Wally
"You owe me nine." Wally said as they sat on the couch watching Megan breakup with Lagoon Boy.
"You don't get off so easily. You owe me three." Nightwing said.
