Short ish, and it took a while, but eh. I've been busy.

Credit to RobinsReckoning for the idea.

For the sixth time that minute, Artemis shifted uncomfortably, trying to pull down her skirt a little further. Conner, her dance partner, gave her a strange look, as he probably heard the rustling of her pad. She mentally threw herself off a cliff, really hoping he wouldn't ask. He gave her a weird look, thinking that it was probably a ruffle layer of her dress

They were undercover as rich guests at a huge party one of Lex Luther's allies was throwing. The team was supposed to gather information on the ally, and figure out Luther's plans for whatever he was up to.

Robin and Miss Martian were up in the air vents. The hacker claimed he had better wifi signal up there, so the two were trying to locate the computer room so they could extract the files on the next big plan of Luther's.

"Something wrong?" Conner questioned after the third bunch of rustling. Artemis shook her head and bared her teeth. The ebony fell silent at this, still confused.

Once the song ended, Artemis started to rush for the bathroom, but Conner led her to a table, where waiters offered them dainty little crab cakes and delicately decorated desserts. At this point, the blonde was sure her cream dress was stained red from the back. She tugged on her lace sleeves and glared at the ebony.

He just blinked, not understanding what the look was for.

"I need to use the bathroom!" she finally hissed, leaning over the table and grabbing his tie. His blue eyes searched hers before he nodded. She dashed off, and Wally took her place, sweating madly.

"Jesus, can Rob dance!" he sighed, wiping his forehead and grinning. Conner rolled his eyes in reply.

Artemis wanted to get her bow and arrow to personally shoot all the girls in the line to the bathroom. Half of them were blonde and needed to fix their hair of makeup. Artemis had a crises; their stupid looks could wait!
The archer in disguise huffed as three girls held up the whole line while they rummaged through purses to find the correct lipstick tube. Her eye twitched and she had to bite down on her lip in order to fight the urge to strangle every single female in sight.

"Would you hurry up?" she yelled; the band playing and the shrieks of the girls who couldn't find the desired eyeliner drowned her voice out. Her eye twitched again as the line moved backwards, thanks to some girl who needed to reapply her blush.

Like, how was she a part of this dimwitted gender? Even guys like Wally weren't this bad. Actually, she took that back. Wally was pretty bad.

Back to the point—she needed to change her stupid bad before Assasin's Creed decided to play in her pants and make a mess. She shifted uncomfortably as the line move back again, finally giving up.

If the girls with a full plate of makeup on their face that weighed at least 5 pounds were going to take up the line, she sure as hell wasn't going to wait. She had better things to do, like dance awkwardly with Conner and pretend to be sweet and delicate like a flower.

She hated flowers.

Artemis stomped back to the table, where she found Roy flirting—flirting?!—with Conner, whose face was slowly but steadily turning bright red. She looked around for a fork to stab someone with, but then Kaldur came and Roy was off in a blast. She sat down, eyes glaring daggers at Conner.

~x~

Conner didn't know why, but it seemed like Artemis was going to kill him. The way her dark eyes sent a look of loathing and the way her fingers twitched towards the fork—it kind of terrified him.

Suddenly, her eyes became glossy and she sniffled loudly. Bewildered, he could only stare as she dabbed at her eyes with a tissue and blew her nose loudly. Did she have a mood disorder or something?
"Artemis?" Conner asked slowly, and she wailed, dropping her head in her hands. People were starting to look, and he felt a little nervous as he shook her arm a few times.

"Are you ok?" he asked, shaking a bit harder. Her hand fumbled around until it felt cool metal, and she raised her head to reveal angry red eyes. he ducked as she threw the fork and then resumed sobbing.

"…" he didn't even know what to say.

Wally walked up to him with a package and winked. He handed it to Artemis, who ducked under the table, yelling, "YOLO, b*tches!"

Conner still didn't know how to react.

"Her time of the month is the worst. That's why no one wnatd to be her partner." The speedster explained before zooming off to blow up the chocolate fountain with Rob.

Time of the month? Conner was even more confused than before when Artemis slithered back into her seat, sighing in relief.

"What's your time of the month?" the super teen asked her, ready to duck in case another fork came his way. The blonde cracked a grin.

"Let's just say us girls need to get what we want at certain times…"

"Or people get stabbed with forks?" Roy asked in annoyance from a few tables over. She flipped him off, sweeping her hair behind her shoulders. She gave Conner a wide smile, flashing her pearly teeth.

"Wanna dance, sexy?"
Conner had to say, he preferred the sobbing, fork-throwing Artemis over this one. A voice in his head—Wally communicating over the link—said to tell her the back of her dress was red.

So Conner told her that.

And nothing could prepare him for the reaction.

Artemis took off towards he bathroom, screaming in horror. She shoved aside people and leaped on top of tables, incredibly agile even in a puffy dress.

"Outta my way!" she yelled, blazing through the line of girls and sliding into a stall. All the girls stared, mumbling insults under their breath.

Conner looked at Dick, who smirked and said, "Just wait….wait…and….now, Walls!"

A few seconds later, Wally was flat out running out of the hall, arrows flying around his face.

"I'll kill you, West!" Artemis shrieked, still in her dress.

To say that Conner was scarred for life was the nicest way of putting it.

Review please!
