DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN YOUNG JUSTICE THAT BELONGS TO DC AND CARTOONNETWORK.

The day seemed to go slower than most days. Wally chuckled to himself. Most days seemed slow to him, but that's only because he's the fastest teenager in the world, second fastest man. But now that he has somewhere more important to be than school it seemed to drag on slower.

He was grateful when the lunch bell rang, in the excitement, if one can call it that, of last night made him forget he had to study for his history test and since he had history after lunch he'd have something to take his mind off of Artemis if it was only for a hour or so.

He got his lunch and sat down with his friends and cracked open his history book.

"What's this? The famous Wally West studying?" Came a voice behind him.

"Go away Emily." Wally mumbled into his history book.

"You were late today, why?" The girl pressed on.

He looked at Emily. She was a cute girl, but she could never match Artemis' beauty. Emily had brown hair that was wavy and pulled into a pony tail. Her eyes are brown, that matched a baby cow's eyes. That's where the cuteness ends her lips are way to full and has abnormal size nose and has this high pitched nasally voice.

"Was at the hospital." He answered moodily. He wasn't in the frame of mind to deal with his psychotic Ex-girl friend.

He heard a female gasp behind him. "My Wally bear was in the hospital! Are you alright, you should see the nurse!" Emily exclaimed.

Some of his friends chuckled at the nickname. "I was visiting someone close to me." He said trying to keep his voice from showing anger.

"Who?" Emily asked, put out that she couldn't tend to her Wally-bear.

Wally pondered the question, Artemis was currently just a friend, did she count as a good friend. He looked at Emily, she hopefully wasn't the type to go super villain over a new girl friend, was she? He shrugged and answered. "My friend, Artemis."

"Artemis? A girl?" One of his friends asked in mock surprise.

Wally glared at him. Before he could retort Emily responded. "Wally, is it true, another girl? How could you I trusted you!" She screamed the last part.

Wally felt all eyes on him, times like this he wished he could use his super speed a disappear, but no compromising identities. "Emily we aren't dating, anymore, we haven't for like six months. You're making a seen."

"But I love you! This girl will pay for taking you away from me!" Emily yelled. Then her eyes widened. "She's the reason we broke up isn't it."

Wally felt his eyebrow twitch in irritation. "No she's not the reason we broke up." He sighed thinking of the best way to explain it.

"Then what is?" Emily asked angrily.

"Well, you're clingy, you follow me around everywhere, agree with everything I say, and you don't accept that it is over!" Wally spat. He was exhausted. Even with the few hours of sleep he got didn't last long, he was mentally and physically drained. He almost lost the person he cares about most and he has to deal with people like Emily.

He felt bad for the hurt look on her face and would apologize later but for now he was glad to be rid of her.

Emily spoke. "If that's the way you want it. Fine!" and she slapped him.

Make that apology extremely later. He thought angrily to himself. The bell rang. He walked out cafeteria to stumble his way through a history test.

Artemis flipped through the channels for what seemed to be the seventeenth time this morning since Wally left her this morning. The doctors weren't allowing her to even move out of the bed without telling the nurses. She groaned in frustration. She was alone in the rooms her mother had stopped by this morning but had left because she had to go to work. Time was taunting her. She was waiting for Wally to come and see her.

She switched to lay on her side. Wincing as the movement cause pain to shoot through her body. If she was stuck in a bed she might as well try and get some sleep. She closed her eyes. Her dream was anything but pleasant.

Artemis was running from or to something she just knew that something was wrong. She glanced behind her when she heard shouting. Then she heard her name from in front of her. The image was no longer a dark corridor but a room. It looked like a warehouse room. It was large and had railings and walk ways across the upper parts of the room. She heard her voice being called both ways but she didn't know who to was who and which one to go to.

Artemis awoke when a familiar weight landed next to her. Checking her watch she saw that schools were out an hour ago.

She carefully turned herself towards the source of the weight.

"Did I wake you?" The boy asked.

"No." Artemis responded.

"Good, but it's a shame you woke up." Wally smiled.

"Why?" Artemis asked eyebrow raised.

" Because you don't talk as much." Wally joked.

"Really?" Artemis huffed.

"Easy, beautiful, I'm just kidding. it's a shame because you look so peaceful, kind of like an angel." Wally's eyes widened as he said that.

"Did you really just say that?" Artemis asked teasing smile on her lips.

"Yeah." Wally answered. Blushing as red as his hair.

"Did you mean it?" She asked quietly, Wally was sure he had heard her wrong.

"What?" He asked.

"I said do you mean it? What you said about me." Artemis repeated. Eyes having a conflicted emotion one of hope and the other was something Wally couldn't place.

"Of course I meant it." Wally said still having a slight blush to his face.

Artemis allowed herself to smile. Move closer to him carefully, as to not disturb her injury. Wally tensed, this was not how he expected her to react.

Artemis felt him tense and looked up with a questioning look. Wally smiled and shook his head. She just shrugged and laid her head against his muscular chest. He absent-mindedly began running his hand in her hair down her back.

It seemed natural to them, like it was supposed to be that way. Wally was contemplating what he was going to say next.

Artemis sensing his unease looked up again. Wally sighed and began talking. "Artemis, last night was probably the worse experience of my life. Losing you, or nearly losing you. I can't imagine it happening again, I understand if you don't return my feelings, but promise me you'll allow me to be near you, just in case?" Wally said looking down at Artemis. His eyes danced with emotions.

Artemis looked away from him unable to meet his pleading eyes. "Wally, I think I have an idea of what you're trying to say. But being with me is dangerous." She sighed.

"Our jobs are dangerous." Wally pointed out.

"I know but-." Artemis tried.

"Listen you use your head to much. Take a leap and try something." Wally pleaded.

"Alright." Artemis nodded.

Wally's eyes lit up like a kids would on Christmas day his smile was blinding.

"Where do we go from here?" Artemis asked unable to keep the smile of her face.

"Well I thought I would kiss you then ask you to dinner once you can leave the hospital." Wally answered nonchalantly.

Artemis chuckled. "Seems like a good plan."

With that Wally leaned down touching his forehead to Artemis's. Then he moved to meet their lips in a soft and swift kiss. Nothing to serious but still it had so many emotions in those few lip touching seconds.

"Want to go to a movie and dinner when you get out of here?" Wally asked.

"I would love to." Artemis answered.

"Sweet!" Wally cheered and Artemis rolled her eyes.

She moved her head back down to Wally's chest and the beating of his heart lured her to a more content sleep. But not before she heard the words.

"I love you, Artemis. Never leave me again." She smiled at those words then fell into a peaceful sleep. Wally was right beside her in that action. Like he would be from now on.

Him not being by her side nearly got her killed and he vowed to protect her from that ever again even if he had to take a bullet for her.
