I feel like it'd be better to continue and someone asked me to, and I thought it was a good idea, so no oneshot. I like the Spitfire pairing so much I re-watched 'Failsafe.' And you know what, for a cartoon character, Wally is pretty sexy. My revelations were so amusing... when did Wally's shoulders get so broad? When did he get so built? When did he get attractive? And he looks good in black too. His superhero outfit needs to either be the white Artic one, or the black stealth one because the red and yellow just hurts my soul. Young Justice is finally making some head way into getting them together. I'm sure we all noticed he didn't hit on Zatanna at all AND he's stopped hitting on M'gann, plus they haven't really bickered. They're getting closer and actually not arguing. Besides that, after re-watching Failsafe, when Martian Manhunter tell's him he's wrong about Artemis being alive Wally FREAKS. And I mean like "I don't give a fuck if you can flatten me with your telepathic powers, you're going to take back what you said because she's alive dammit" type freaks, and then there's the sheer deperation in his voice when he says "Artemis is alive" after thinking there telepotion rays and Robin's all iffy about it, Wally sounds so close to hysterics when he says "no maybe, SHE'S ALIVE... they all are." It broke my heart. And let's not get started on the "I regret not telling her" face he made when Robin bitch slapped him with the truth. Wally has feelings for her. Artemis is more ambiguous, but it's obvious she likes him too. She stopped appraising Superboy's bod, which admittedly, Wally's not too far off from the clone, and she's been nicer.

bLu3-Ph30nIx ;)... p.s. What the hell happened to the soldier they zetaed before Superboy?

He had watched her sleep, in the hours of breaking sunshine when the morning was young, the light tickled his eyes awake and he watched her. Truthfully, he had been afraid to open them, he was terrified she wouldn't be there anymore, that she either thought last night was a mistake and left without saying as much as a goodbye, or that he had imagined it all due to his overactive and hyperactive imagination. It wasn't beyond him to think the pressure on his chest was something other than the archer. What type of other it could be, he had no idea, but Wally wasn't good when he was panicky, and he certainly was right now. Artemis was more than able to unwrap his arms from around her, get up from the bed without rousing him, and sneak away without making a sound. Wally didn't know what he would do if he heard the 'last night was a mistake' speech come out of her mouth, but it wasn't anything short of destroying some nearby wall or harming himself with something sharp and dangerous. God, what had this girl done to him?

Anxiety clawed it's way around his insides, it's icy touch lingering in his mind. What if she did think this was a mistake? With her frazzled nerves and sadness clouding her judgement, that passionate night could just be a lasp of sanity on her part. Artemis could end up veiwing it as a moment of weakness, it could mean nothing to her. The saying 'one man's trash is another's treasure' can be reversed. He treasured the night's intimacy, he revelled in her moans and sighs and tucked away the secrets they had shared to each other and hopefully only each other. She had been his first, was he her's? For all Wally knew, he was just another notch on her bedpost as she made her way up the ladder.

His eyes were still closed, which was not helping at all. The images of her bucking into another man's thrusts, someone who wasn't him, making her moan in those sexily sinful tones and taking her farther into the clutches of ecstacy. Tears filled behind his eyelids, why would someone like her want to be with him in the first place? Wally was already genetically deficient due to his red hair, and he was on the scrawnier side if you asked him, he always felt ashamed standing next to Conner, and he was nowhere near as smart as Robin. Why would someone so beautiful and confident pick him? Maybe last night shouldn't have happened, then he wouldn't be feeling like he opened himself up only to be hurt, crushed under her harsh laugh at his feelings. That's why he made it seem like he took nothing seriously, Wally never wanted anyone to see just how insecure he was, how he berated himself constantly.

He thought everyone pitied him, the Flash, his teammates. They humored him by letting him stay, but he was just a liabilty and loud mouthed, blowhard passing as a hero; but they were heroes who never left anyone behind, even annoying redheads that never thought before acting. He rushed into things and always put his friends, people he cared for, in danger. How many times had the Flash rescued him because of his own reckless behavior? How many times had he given away the teams position? Artemis could never go for him, never really love him like he loved her.

However, even as he thought these things, Wally wanted to know, he wanted to open his eyes and see if she had pulled the old pillow switcheroo or if she was really still there. He told himself, if Artemis was gone he'd act as if nothing happened, even though he knew even he wasn't that good of an actor. Putting on an arrogant, jokester facade of Kid Flash was one thing, but pretending he hadn't given a piece of his soul to the blonde spitfire was something else entirely. Someone would definitely notice his moping and self-loathing if he had to try and act like last night didn't happen, someone might actually really start to give a damn, a real damn.

Wally was debating whether he should just brave a glance at his side, brave letting the light into his eyes and illuminate his crushingly epic fail, when a soft intake of air jolted him from his musings. Lids snapped open and he immediately looked to down into a mess of golden locks. The sun bounced off of them, lighting up the soft hues of honey and platinum in her hair that which curling wildly in springs that caressed his cheeks. The anxiety ebbed away, and Wally couldn't help but smile and lean back to get a good look at her face. His Artemis was still here, sleeping soundly against his chest. Her lips were curled into a gentle smile as she laid on her hands that were pressed to him. She looked so angelic with the light making her glow, her tanned skin almost golden with an unearthly sheen. He could slightly see her breast from underneath her messily twisted pajama top, the nipple poking out from under the folds and reminding him of it's feel and taste so much that a smirk crossed his face.

Breathing softly, she subconsciously pulled herself closer to him, Wally's own breath hitched. She was beautiful, and dare he say it, she was his. Enveloping her into a caressing hug, he startled her awake. Those grey eyes widened so he could see the blue and black specks swirling around in them before they returned to normal size. Artemis stared at him intently for a moment, and he felt all his doubts and self loathing coming back to him as he braced himself for her inevitable grimace as she turned her back to him and left. His self- satisfied smirk disappeared abruptly. Wally was shocked for the second time in less than a minute.

Artemis pecked him on the cheek, her smile genuine and wide now, a smile he had never seen on her before and he already loved. He couldn't help but return her enthusiasm and felt his smirk returning, evolving into a full fledged grin. He shifted and they both lay there, under the sheets, lying on their sides staring at one another with a love only a simulated 'death' experience could produce. Wally shifted closer to Artemis and once again had her in his arms, how could he have doubted her?

Artemis let her eyes fall shut and found herself recounting the moments that lead up to this. It felt so good to feel this way, to feel adored. This had never happened before, she never felt wanted, not like this, she always felt like she was expected to do something, to be someone other than who she wanted to be. But here she was, with Kid Flash, feeling lke she was on the top of the world. She could have let her doubts destroy this moment, but it was her first of hopefully many, and she didn't want to be the one to ruin it. Artemis savored this moment like a child savored the last piece of candy they had at hand.

She loved the way this boy made her feel like a person, not a tool, a weapon. He gave her a chance to feel, to be alive and function like a normal teenage girl when she was anything but. Normality was a luxury she couldn't afford. Until now. She felt the telltale flutter of butterflies in her chest that many girls talked about, she felt the weakness in her kness at the sight of his handsome smirk, and she couldn't help but join in when he laughed. His laugh was so hard to describe. It was the perfect, rich middle ground, lower and sensual when need be, and light and lilting when it called for it. It was ever adapting just like he was, and for all intents and purposes, his laugh was a sheild from her terrible moods. When he was laughing she just couldn't be in that mood anymore, Wally made her let go.

Before, this all happened, before M'gann spiraled out of control in her own mind, she wouldn't been upset with herself for allowing such feelings. Artemis would've thought herself weak for falling for someone so pigheaded, so boorish. When she died and heard his emotions, heard the terror and pain, she saw for all his arrogance, Kid Flash had a heart. He was just covering it up with his attitude. She had been a master at hiding who she was, and she took no time in understanding why he hid behind his show-boatery. He was afraid. She had been as well, for most of her life, until he showed her that there was no need to be. Last night, the night she died... she hand learned at least three lessons of a lifetime, but the one that stood out the most was, despite how rude and snarky she was to him, Wally still found something in her to love. He had chipped away all the armor and hurt by saying those three simple words to her. Artemis saw there was no need to hide anymore... if someone could love her, then they could love her faults, and one of the biggest one was her attitude.

But he, Wally had broken through, and she would do the same for him. Show him there was nothing he had to hide from her ever again, because she would show him what he had showed her. Unconditional love. It was the best gift she had ever gotten. And dammit, she'd start showing how appreciative she was right now. So she had stayed the night, scared out of her mind that when morning came he'd throw her out and be disgusted with her, disgusted with doing something so imtimate with the likes of her. But he hadn't. She'd woken up and looked in his emerald-not eyes, she saw he was afraid of the same rejection. Somehow Artemis had to show him he wasn't in danger of that. So she kissed him. A kiss to show she would always be there and she'd protect his heart just like he vowed to protect her.

A blush broke out on her cheeks. She remembered, sleep had almost taken a complete hold of her, when she heard him respond.

'I love you too.' It wasn't a grand proclaimation, and she found she liked his simplicity better. Her feelings were reciprocated and that's what really trully mattered. Wally would never be left to wallow in doubt and self-pity, she wouldn't let him hurt hat way; she would show him time and time again she was here to stay. Forever. As that last thought consumed her, Artemis moved forward thorugh the already shortened distance and kissed him full on.

Wally, of course, kissed her back just as deeply, relieved and doing the proverbial fist pump in his mind. She had kissed him, and she wasn't forcing herself to do it. Maybe she could love him like he loved her, maybe this would last. He could only hope, as he deepened the kiss, plunging his tongue inside her hot mouth and tickling the roof. He felt her palms slide down his chest, to the elastic of his waist. Artemis, had always loved to tease him in everything, and this was no exception. She tauntingly ran a fingertip over his length, the senstive member shuddering with the tingles her touch was sending through him. She cupped him, the tip wet with precum and heard Wally utter a gutteral growl while biting her lip and sucking it into his own salivating mouth.

He was so annoyed with her right now. Of all the times to tease him and drive him crazy, she picked now? Two could play it that game. He stopped kissing her and brought his head down to her waitng mound of flesh. He harshly took her nub between his teeth and bit down, applying enough force to make her gasp. Not one to be outdone, Artemis gave a have tug on his testicles and tenderly rubbed him up and down. Wally sucked harder, biting and swirling in tandum, while Artemis jacked him off. He thrust hismelf into her hand, he needed more friction, while he sucked and fondled her breasts in in earnest. One of his hands moved and rubbed her sopping wet clit, a finger pounding in and out of her.

For each of her pulls, he plunged deeper and deeper into the wet folds, while his mouth alternated sucking nipples. Artmeis was damn near screaming again and he could feel her getting close, involuntary shivers running down her spine. To hell with the teasing. He was terribly hard because her hands, he just wanted to fuck her right then and there. He ripped her hand from him, ready to replace his fingers in her womanhood with something much larger... but not before getting revenge. His grabbed his member and rubbed his tip to her hole. She felt his pulsating organ, so close but so far away, and she bucked into him, urging him to just fuck her, to pet her down, to do anything.

Wally, who was actually good at torment, would've keep her writhing in want with sadistic glee if he wasn't so ready to just break her. He grabbed her hips, knowing they might bruise with his roughness, but he couldn't bring himself to care. Besides, it looked like his little archer like it rough and raw, He wouldn't complain. He felt her brace for his entery while he positioned hinself. In one thrust he'd be inside her again, and he'd have Artemis riding up his headborad saying his name. Wally thrusted into her.

"KF, Artemis, if you to are done fucking like rabbits, get dressed! Bats has a mission for us! Get ready!" Robins voice rang through the door, and killed the mood. Literally. Wally could feel himself going down with every words the Boy Wonder spoke until he was once again limp. If looks could burn through doors and kill, Robin would be dead twice over. Artemis was glaring at the door right along with him, she threw a quick glance, and they both silently agreed he would pay. Couldn't he let them finish? Never, Wally already knew, his best friend was a dick, and enjoyed fucking with him like he did everyone else. It was embarrassing to know all of the others had possibly heard them going at it. Plus, they knew better than to make Batman wait, even if it was incredibly cruel to send them on a mission after what happened. Be ready for anything his ass, Batman was was inhuman.

Sighing he picked Artemis up bridal, and headed to the shower in his room. Maybe they could get in a quickie.

The six members of Yound Justice filled into the darkened room of the cave fos the Dark Knight's debriefing. The stood ready and rigid for what ever the mysterious hero had for them. Though they were still broken from the mind fuck they had yesterday, they were will to put there on problems out of the way for the people they vowed to protect with everything they had. That's what it meant to be a savior, it meant laying your life on the line regardless of what was happening at home, regardless of the pain you feel. It meant standing up even when there was nearly nothing to stand for, so none of theam were going to let innocents suffer even after losing everything they had. The members of Young Justice would fight to keep them safe, not everyone had to lose everything, not everyone would have to bear that burden. No... the team would not let them lose everything, they would fight for the world.

Batman could sense the valor the young team had, and he had to say he was impressed. Many a hero had been broken by similar circumstances, but here they were, barely out of childhood, taking on the job of men and women, and doing a damn good job of it. They had seen each other die, they had seen they're loved ones being destroyed and they were still here. Trully the members of the Justice League had underestimated them. Batman knew they were hurting, but he saw the definace in their eyes, they would not let a training exercise gone wrong stop them from what they were bred to do. He would've smiled if he didn't think it would cause them ll to havea mass heart attack, but he was proud of them. It was hard to keep the praise out of his voice when he spoke.

"As I'm sure you all remember, your last mission had you cross paths with the supervillain sect know as the Injustic League, and I know you all are well aware Poison Ivy was one of the members. After the other League members and I arrived and took them into custody, Ivy used her plant manipluation powers to escape and go into hiding. The League has gone to great lengths to find and recapture her, and we have found her location in the Amazonian rainforest due to an intercepted transmission. A group of scientists were filming a documentary on a rare orchid that grows there. They had... dangerous... run in with Ivy, prompting the League to make capturing her a top priority. Your mission is to find Ivy and encompassitate her long enough for us to bring her into custody."

"Let's go kick some plant lady butt!" At Wally's outburst, they others nodded their heads in approval, though they were much more sutble than the speedster. The League was finally giving them missions they felt were worthy of their time, they weren't little kids in their eyes anymore. It felt good to finally have some of the senior heroes trust and respect.

"Indeed." Batman's eyes narrowed. This mission would be a true test of whether or not they could really work pass a traumatizing event and get the job done. "Be warned, since the destruction of the Injustice League base, and the subsequent death of the large plant antenea that Ivy veiwed as a... child, the villainess has been... adled. She is not to be taken lightly." There was a hint of worry in Batman's voice, years of living with him Robin could tell when something was particularly troubling the caped crusader. There was something Bats wasn't telling them, and by the puzzled look on the faces of his teammates, the Boy Wonder was not the only one who knew. Bats never took the time to warn them before, he would come and tell them the mission, leaving them to come up with the strategy as he deemed them capable. Something had happened.

"Forgive the interuption Batman." Kaldur's calm voice echoed around the cave. Of course he was the one to voice the collective thoughts of the team," What do you mean by the word adled, and what exactly happened in the scientists encouter with Ivy?"

Batman knew they would be curious, but for once he wished they would leave well enough alone. Then again, that wasn't in the teams nature. "Perhaps it would be better if you saw what happened with your one eyes. Computer, lastin incoming transmission from the Amazon forest at 0700 hours."

The screen instantly came up, and a young woman, with bright blue eyes and inky locks stared at the camera. Her glasses glinted in the dim sunlight, while she smilled and talked animatedly at the camera she was holding at herself. "Finally, after months of searching and deadends, we've found the elusive and rare blue orchid of the Amazon. This orchid, known locally as the Angel's Brew, secretes a nectar which can be used to treat blood born illness. If applied correctly, a new treatment for those with blood ilnesses could be produced to masses, and diseases such as lukemia could be contained, possibly cured. it would be a wonderful medical breakthrough and save thousands of lives."

As she talked, she faced the camera towards the other three members of her teams were collecting samples, picking a generous amount of the opalescent flowers and placing them carefully into airated jars. They looked victoriously at the camera, and went back to the task at hand. The lead scientist spoke again. "We are all happy to be a part of this expedition and possibly hold the key to help healing the human race. I'm thankful I-"

She was cut off mid sentence by a deranged cackle, and sing song voice that was clearly demented. "Heal the human race?" A shadow could be seen in the corner of the lens. " Help heal the beasts that are killing my babies, can't your hear them screaming as you rend them from their vines, their homes... all for the sake of research. All for the sake of humans." Poison Ivy came into veiw, half her face shadowed, but one eye could be seen. It was wide, crazed, the pupil dialated to startling proportions, but still some how empty and dead of emotion. Half of an empty smile could be seen. "You offer life to monsters that don't deserve to live, and for that you must be punished."

Two thick tree roots erupted from the ground, striking at lightning fast speed, and one embeddied itself in the head of one of the men. The root hit with such force, it tore some his brain from his skull, splattering it on the forest floor. He gasped, mouth trembling, as the other vine came from above and ripped right through him, tearing him in half. The two sides fell oppsite each other. The lens was shaking as the woman holding the camera looked down at her fallen comrade. It captured the image of his intestines falling out, and his stomach acid eating away at his insides. Liquified organs blended with the blood oozing from his body.

The survivors screamed, the scene swiveling and bouncing as they ran. The roots and vines were too fast, the only other woman, older that the first, had her head rended from her shoulders. Her body crumpled to the forest floor in front of the remaining female. Another scream broke out from somewhere in the background, meaning the only other member of the expedition had been left to a gruesome fate unknown. The members of Yound Justice could hear the pants of the woman. She was frantic, running in circles, until she came face to face with Ivy.

Still crazed, Ivy laughed, standing in all her plant wielding glory, vines and roots poised to strike behind her. "Now you die," a voice too cold to belong to Ivy, too hate filled, came from the green skinned femme fatale's mouth before she let lose, plant spears rushing at the only survivor. Static. The crinkling sound filled the cave, and the team could only stand in shocked, sondering how this could happen. They had just regained composure when the camera sputtered back to life.

Her body was skewered with a number od sharp roots and vine, Poion Ivy hadn't even bothered to rip them out. Her face was frozen in a terrfied scream, her glasses broken and shtterd into wide open eyes. You could here the laugh of a killer follow before the static mercifully came back. Silence suffocated the team, Batman steeled himself against the onslaught of regret.

"You leave in 30 miuntes. Be ready."

Saying the ride in the bioship was uncomfortable was an understatement. It was filled with tension and nervous energy. Could they really handle this? Poison Ivy was never a light weight criminal, but seeing her like that, shoke the team hard. Miss Martian was visibly fretting. She kept bitng her lip and glancing at Superboy worriedly. The clone was staring straight ahead, tight lipped. He was gripping the seat of the bioship so hard, M'gann had to tell him he was hurting it. Only then did he release his hold, but Superboy did not so much as glance in the martian's direction.

Robin was inspecting a batarang, turning it over and over in his hands nervously, clearly rattled. Nothing was wrong with the gadget, it just seemed he wanted to something, anything, other than talk. His voice would btray his fear, and he didn't want anyone to know just how afraid he was. Aqualad seemed to be trying to formulate a plan, but at the fristrated look on his face he couldn't. He was no doubt distracted by Ivy's sinister transformation, and he had no idea how to address the situation and make a proper plan of attack.

Kid Flash was watching them all, and for once had nothing to say. There was no joke in his arsenal, not witty words of encouragement, he just sat and watched the four of his teammates. He wanted to help them, to say something give them confidence, but he had nothing to say at all. Artemis was directly in front of him, so he couldn't see her at all like he could the others, and that worried him the most. What was she feeling, how was she dealing with this? They had seen there own deaths, which thankfully weren't real, but the deaths they had just saw, were real. Those people weren't coming back, and they were going to try and put the person who killed them behind bars... if they didn't perish in the attempt.

Shaking his head, KId Flash mentally scolded himself, there was no time to think about that, he had Artemis to worry about. Though she had made it very clear she was no damsel in distress and could handle herself. He wouldn't have listened if he wasn't painfully hard in the shower staring at her naked body, but she was refusing to touch him or to be touched until he had heard what she had to say. Again, the girl had some timing. Even after she said it, they both knew he'd keep her safe at all costs. And right now, it seemed he would have to live up to that promise.

They landed in a small clearing and filed out of M'gann's ship. Trees blocked most of the sun, so it was darker than they had expected. Stealth mode was activated and Kid was old to search the area. The now black blur performed a thorough search in all of three seconds, proclaiming they were alone. Aqualad informed them that they would all stay together, musch to the other's relief, Ivy was too dangerous for them to split up into smaller groups if they ran into her. The six of them had a better chance staying together.

Young Justice make their way into the lush forest, sticking closer to one another. Aqualad and Robin stood at the front, weapons at the ready. Miss Martian and Superboy were on either side of them, rigid with fear but willing to jump in a help, while Artemis and Kid Flash guarded the rear.

He could get a god look at the archer now. Artemis had her face drawn tight, she was stiff, and trying desperately to look like the news feed hadn't bothered her. He wished she wouldn't act so tough, but he had to do something. If Artemis stayed like this she'd put herself in harm's way, and he was not going to lose her twice in 24 hours. Kid Flash walked closer to her, grabbing her hand in the process. She glanced nervously at their intertwined hands, and them into his eyes.

"We'll take her down. I promise. Nothing's going to happen to you Beautiful." It wasn't much, but it did cause a slight smile to form on her face. She squeezed his hand and Kid knew the message was received. Sadly, they should've been paying more attention to their surrounding instead of each other. They would've noticed how the foliage seemed to rustle of their own accord, or how the vine seemed to slither after them. Maybe they could've been prepared.

Mutiple roots and vines rushed at the team from all sides, slapping them to the ground. Quivering, they all groaned, trying to stand and face their attacker. No one was in sight, but could hear her chilling voice. "So you're back to kill more of my babies. I WON'T LET YOU!I'll make sure my babies stay safe, and they'll never have to worry about you again. Then we can be happy, my babies and I, it'll be so beautiful. But first, TO DESTROY YOU ALL!" Her voice shifted uncontrollably in volume, further exposing Ivy's madness, her cackling echoed around thin.

Scenry became a living weapon. as vines and roots came began to attack the young heores. Robin flipped to get out of the way while he threw freezing batarang's that crystalized the attacking foliage instantly. Though for every one he freezed, several more took it's place. His acrobatic training helped him evade them, he was only human, and it was taking a toll on him. He hid behind one the still immobile trees, trying to catch his breath. He had to find the center of the attacks, he had to find Ivy and end this before something terrible happened. He looked on as Aqualad usd a water scythe to hack away at the palnts, before being knocked into a tree. His imprint went deep and Robin could hear the sickening crack of his head. By nothing less of a miracle the Atlantean got up and kept fighting.

Miss Martian telepathically shreaded the incoming projectiles, making a safe place around Superboy who ripped the vines and roots that were coming at him until one got past his fists and knocked him into his secret girlfriend. They landed in a heap on top of each other, before scrambling to get up and rejoin the fray. Artmis was shooting exploding freezing, working in tandem with Kid Flash. each one she froze he shattered, using his super speed to augment his strength to completely shater the roots. They were making some progress, though in the grand scheme of things, it was nothing. The Amazon was nothing but a never ending weapon room for Poison Ivy. They should've thought this through better.

The team moved each other, regrouping and trying to find where she was. The forest was alive and out to geth them, Ivy's cackles enveloping them in the hopelessness of the situation. The team wasn't ready for something of this caliber, they need to tip the odds in their favor somehow. They were talking and dodging blows at the same time.

"Guys, we have to do something about this." Robin swiftly ducked to avoid being smacked into the truck of a strangely massive tree.

"No shit Bird Boy, but what! The only thing I can figure is burning the forest to the ground, but then PETA will be all over our asses. So you got anything else." Artemis jumped and flipped to evade multiple roots trying to run her through. "If anyone had any ideas, please share!"

"We can't win here, this is Ivy's domian, we need to find her and subdue her to stop this madness." Aqualad, ducked a root aimed at his head. It grazed his cheek, blood drawn.

"Oh really, what was your first clue." Superboy was grunting with effort as he ripped the roots. They strong and he ended up rending the tree from the ground and tossing it away. Roots came from behind a, trying to spear him in the head. Miss Martian let out an enraged screech, disenigrating them beofre they even nhad a chance to get close to him.

"We have to find the source of the echoes." Aqualad's words spurred Kid Flash's idea. 'Find the source.' He sped around, ripping through roots and vines, slowing down only breify to scream at tha top of his lungs.

"Robin you live with a Bat, how do they find food, even though they're blind?" Robin caught on quickly, and Kid was thankful his best friend could read him well enough to finish his thoughts.

"KF you're a genius! We can use the echoes to find Ivy. With her laughing like some crazy bitch we can use the sound waves as they bouce back to the source. The reverb will pinpoint her location. " The Boy Wonder backflipped behind Miss Martian who was keeping the the vines from hitting her and Superboy at any cost. He reached into his utility belt to and pulled out one of his tool, and echoloataion tool. Whe sound hit it and bouced off it could find the dource, they could find Ivy. The green criminal let out a laugh again, that filled the chaotic forest, Robin was ready. The sound waves of her insanity laughter bouced off the echolocation tool. It hummed, taking in the voice and sending out a matching pitch and hitting the spot where Ivy was.

"There!" Robin pointed to a thicket, causing Artmeis to take aim with one of her smog arrows. Thick smoke came pouring out of the thicket, it billowed in grey wisps making coughs come from Ivy's throst. he laughing ceased as did the movement of the forest. Roots and vines fell haphazardly into place, though none of them found there original spot. Pison Ivy stumbled out of the smoke, hacking badly, her shoulders shuddering with the effort. Robin quickly threw a snaring tools at her, the wires wrapping around her legs and forcing them together, and her plastering her arms to her side. Ivy fell to the ground, garing maliciously at the team.

Six shadows loomed down on her, forming a sort of semi circle, though they were more than ten feet away. Aqualad gave the command to call the League, and the Boy Wonder complied. Artemis was staring at her in disgust, she spat at the villainess, venom in her eyes. An empty smile spread across Ivy's face, and she howled again in laughter as she stared right back at Artemis.

"I remember you girly. You have one hell of a kick," She kept giggling insanely." You know why I hate you, YOU'RE A BITCH! NO ONE KICKS ME IN THE FACE. NO ONE STOPS ME FROM AVENGING MY BABY! DIE!" They had forgotten, Ivy was still awake she still had controll. All the shile she had been screaming at Artemis she had been aiming a vine straight at her heart. With the last word she sent it forward, and everyone was too shocked to do anything. Everyone except for the Speed Force incarnate.

The world slowed around Wally, the vine still sped toward the blonde even as he initiated his speed. He could see his friend's mouths gaping and contracting in slow motion, no doubt screaming for her to protect herself. He saw Artemis stand there, petrified into stone, standing so still, her eyes wide with fear and acceptance of death. NO, no way was she going to die, not after he finally confessed to her, not after what he had shared. All Kid Flash could see was her, and he ran faster than he ever had, he ran to save her. The vine was almost upon her, a breath away from impaling her when he scooped her in his arms. The vine racked across his back. He could feel the skin yield, the sting of his razoring his muscles and the blood ebbing its way out, but he didn't care... Artemis was safe.

Miss Martian stared at the villain, complete hatred rolling off her form as opposed to her normal sweetness. An eerie green overtook her eyes as she sent a telepathic attack at Poison Ivy, knocking her out. The vine, once again a vine fell. Kid Flash stopped running, put Artemis down and collapsed in a heap. His back hurt and he hoped it wouldn't become infected by the dirt that was surely on the vine. He distantly heard the others asking if he was alright, but they weren't important. He looked her in the eye. Tears were sparkling behind the grey but did not fall, and he could see her warring with herself. He could telll she wanted to call him an idiot to scream him, but she was also grateful he saved her.

"Told you I wouldn't let anything happen to you Beautiful."

Review please.
