Well, here you guys have it. The second, and final, instalment to this story. But, first of all, I just want to thank everyone who read the previous chapter and liked it so much (or wasn't satisfyed with it enough) to demand another one. It really did give me encouragement to write another chapter. SO thank you from the bottom of my heart :)

Now, enjoy the below.


Wally squeezed his eyes shut tight as the wind whistled past his ears, slapping his face so ferociously he was sure there would be a few red marks left after this experience-if he still managed to survive, that is.

"Wally!"

The speedster glanced at the blonde archer wrapped securely around him and he was surprised at the fury that was sparking in her eyes. Wally involuntarily gulped. Even though he stated over and over again that he was not scared of her and never would be, there was no denying that Artemis was definitely terrifying when she wanted to be. Even when they were both plummeting to what seemed like their death.

Maybe that's why she's so angry,Wally mused. It was only then that he realised she was trying to talk to him-and whatever she was trying to say, he was pretty sure it involved a lot of colourful words.

"What?" Wally yelled in an effort to be heard above the wind. "I can't-what are you-?"

Oh look, she still has time to roll her eyes even though we're going to be pierced by rocks any moment soon. Lovely, He muttered in his thoughts. Was it just him or was it getting harder to think too?

"Where are the others?" Artemis screamed. It was typical really; Wally still had ways to push her over the edge (pun intended) even at a time like this. She made a quick mental note to smack him with her shoe or something once she got out of this situation-and she was determined to come out of this alive.

Wally frowned. She held a good point-where were the others? At this rate, the pair wouldn't be seeing the rest of the team and sweet, sweet Megan until...well, ever.

A sudden pounding alerted him to the head ache that was starting to appear in his head, caused by the pressure and force in which he was falling. To put it simply, his head was starting to hurt. Really. Badly.

"Do something!" Artemis yelled, her gaze focused on anything but their impending doom below them.

If Wally could have snorted right then, he would've. What did she expect him to do? Suddenly sprout wings and start flying? He briefly wondered what it would be like to be pierced by one of the rocks before shaking that morbid thought out of his head. He'd find out eventually if he didn't come up with something soon.

In fact, why had he jumped after Artemis in the first place? Having heroic instincts sucked if it meant diving after girls he absolutely loathed. He was starting to regret his decision. Especially with her stupid blonde hair flying everywhere including his mouth.

"Wally! The rocks!"

"What do you want me to do about that?"

"Avoid them!"

"How?"

Artemis sighed. If she ever got the chance, she'd gladly poison the red head beside her. It might be murder but it sure as hell wouldn't be a crime.

She glanced around, wondering if she could grab onto anything to stop their fall. But they were metres away from the cliff and heading straight for the pointy parts of the rocks.

"Can't you walk on water or som-!" A shriek slipped out of the archer's mouth when it seemed that they were falling even faster. She faintly acknowledged the fact that Wally's arms around her had tightened but the thought was quickly wiped away from her mind as the sharp, pointy almost weapon like rocks looked closer than ever.

This is it then. I'm going to die. Fantastic.

Dying with Blondie in my arms. What a nightmare.

"Wally! Avoid the rocks! Avoid the rocks! AVOID THE ROCKS!" Artemis shouted as she realised she was starting to panic. Panicking was something that would definitely not help the situation. Panicking meant that she wouldn't have a clear head to think on.

"I am. I am! I AM!" He yelled back. Their lives were on the line and if they died because of Wally, then so help her she would k-

They suddenly stopped.

No freezing cold water. No concrete like impact. No blood spurting anywhere.

Just frozen in mid air.

Wally glanced around himself, unsure about what was going on. It felt weird not having any wind hit him with full force or being able to think and speak properly without having to yell. It was definitely a relief.

"What...Wally, what did you...how..." Artemis trailed off, extremely confused as to how they could be in such a situation. This defied all natural laws about physics. It was...impossible.

The blonde looked questioningly at the speedster who looked equally, if not more, puzzled as her.

"Well," Wally commented. "At least this is better than being skewered by those things."

Artemis couldn't have agreed more.

"But how-?"

"Guys? You alright?"

Both Wally and Artemis glanced up, squinting to see against the glare of the sun. They could briefly make out the shapes of two teenagers, one taller than the other. But who we-

Then realization hit.

Their team had come to rescue them.

About time.

"Robin! Dude, you have no idea how happy I am to see you!" Wally exclaimed in relief. "Do you know how we're...well, defying gravity?"

The Boy Wonder nodded.

"It's all because of our resident Martian," Robin yelled down, faintly amused at the sight of the intertwined teens. "She has telekinesis, remember?"

"See? All the more reason to love her," The speedster grinned before wincing as the archer swiftly hit him across the head.

"Just get us up, will you?" Artemis shouted. Soon enough, they were slowly beginning to ascend in height, getting further and further away from what would've killed them in an instant.

"You know," Megan began. "This reminds me of something Uncle J'onn did once. You see, one of my sisters had a cat back on Mars and, I don't really know what happened, but she got stuck on top of the Martian History Museum with no way of getting back down. So Uncle J'onn did the same thing I'm doing right now and got her. In all honesty, I was a little disappointed."

Robin gave an amused grin.

"Really? How come?"

"M'na really didn't like me much."

"M'na?"

"The cat."

The Boy Wonder snorted before coughing at the Martian's serious expression.

"Yes, of course. Cats are horrible. Though, I've got to say," Robin smirked. "Batman really doesn't mind them all that much."

"Guys?" Artemis yelled. "How about a bit less chit chat and more of saving our lives?"

"Right, sorry," Megan smiled before concentrating more. Wally raised an eyebrow when the archer tightened her grip on him, unconsciously or not, as they levitated up faster but didn't say a word.

"Oh and another time, Uncle J'onn was telling me about how he became the detective 'John Jones' and watched all these programmes to figure out human life."

"Of course," Robin murmured absentmindedly as he glanced over the cliff to watch his team mates' progress while Megan smiled as she fondly started remembering memories about her first months on Earth.

"So, when I arrived here, I followed his lead and also watched earth programmes to assimilate human behaviour. There's this programme called 'Hello Me-"

"Megan!"

The Martian gasped as Artemis and Wally started tumbling down again, their shrieks filling the previously peaceful atmosphere. Then, almost as rapidly as they had fallen, the archer and the speedster stopped mid way yet again.

"What. Was. That?" Wally asked breathlessly.

"I really don't want to know," Artemis sighed.

"Sorry!" Megan bit her bottom lip guiltily. "I kind of lost concentration. But," She added quickly. "I promise I'll be a lot more focused now!"

"Don't worry," Robin reassured her. "They'll be alright. After all, they've faced a whole lot worse than a little scare like that."

"If Megan does that one more time..." Artemis muttered, willing her heart to stop beating so hurriedly.

"It was just a mistake," Wally protested. "Besides, we're still alive."

"Still. By the way, thanks for...um...jumping after me," The archer mumbled before glaring at Wally's grin.

"Sorry, I didn't hear that. Could you say it again?"

Artemis took a deep breath causing the speedster to flush as he acknowledged her chest moving against his.

"I said, thank you for jumping after me."

Wally smirked triumphantly at her words even if they had been growled out. After all, it was still gratitude.

"No problem. I am a hero. It's my job."

"Maybe I won't poison you then," Artemis commented casually.

"Good bec-," Wally froze. "Poison? When were you going to poison me?" He glared as Artemis snorted at his pale expression. "That's serious, Artemis! When were you going to poison me? Artemis!"


And that is it. Hope you guys liked it. BTW, thumbs up to those of you who got the Chicago and Wicked reference. I couldn't help but put them in :)

Anyway, please leave a review because it shows how much somebody actually appreciates an author's heard work. After all, it's not as if a story magically appears out of thin air. Although,not going to lie to you, that would be pretty awesome...
