Hey guys! I'm new to this fanfiction thing, and I've wanted to write a story about my 2 favorite characters, Artemis and Wally. I've always reading good fanfiction, and it's kind of fun to write one. Here's a fanfic (that I hope to continue) that is for one of my favorite shows, Young Justice. Enjoy! And please review!

Their Unexpected Life

Chapter 1: Secret

Wally looked around as Artemis was nowhere to be seen in the cave. He was different when she was around. Ever since that training exercise went wrong, he knew that his relationship with Artemis had changed. And he wanted it to. He wanted it there to be less arguing and slapping, but more intimacy and warmth. As soon as he heard the computer announce her arrival, he bounced up with joy. This was it; he was going to tell her about his feelings.

As Artemis came into the room, she started to limp and she was all bruised. She looked as if she took a horrible beating. Wally quickly sped to her aid as she almost collapsed on the floor." What happened to you?" he asked. But before she could even open her mouth, he took her to the infirmary. Wally called Green Arrow and told him about Artemis. He told Green Arrow that he would stay with her until she forces him away.

The medic said that Artemis had gone through a horrible beating and that she is lucky that she doesn't have internal bleeding. Wally was so worried about her. He wondered of what kind of trouble she must have gone through without the Team knowing. Wally stayed by her side every hour until Batman needed to speak with him.

"Wally, I know that you are worried about Artemis and I know that you have intense feelings for her, but there is something that might change your mind about her." Wally looked at him and said, "Tell me anything, and I will still care for her. I will probably care for her more." Batman was hesitant. He said, "Sportsmaster is her father. He is responsible for her suffering. When Artemis was 6, he trained her to be a warrior and it wasn't until he crossed the line with her and her mother that she decided to be finished with him. Sportsmaster didn't appreciate this and demanded that she be killed. He took his time about it and decided to strike tonight. She is very lucky to be alive."

Wally looked at him and was shocked. He couldn't believe that this was Artemis's story, her past, her secret. Now he wasn't going to let anybody hurt her ever again. He nodded at Batman and went back to Artemis where he waited for her to awake.

He waited for hours to awake and then finally he felt her hand on top of his. "You're awake!" he said to her happily. "Yeah, I'm awake. What happened?" she asked confused. Wally looked at her and said, "Why don't you tell me?" He paused for a moment and continued "Did Sportsmaster do this to you?" Artemis looked at him with a puzzled look. "Yeah, I know about your past and what he has done to you. Artemis, he WILL NEVER touch you again."

She started to cry and then Wally leaned in and kissed her so passionately that they both never wanted to stop. "Will you sleep here with me tonight?" she asked looking at him so vulnerably and hoped that he would say yes. To her surprise he said "As you wish." He kissed her again and she was crying tears of happiness.

For once in her life she has found love and comfort right there in Wally's arms.
