Impossible Love (A Young Justice Fanfic)

Girl Talk

The next day Artemis visits Megan and Connor's.

"Hey Artemis, what brings you here?" Connor asks.

"I need to talk to Megan, what Dick said last night had be thinking but I'm so confused with what's going on, and I don't really want to share this problem at my first group therapy session, if that makes sense."

"Completely, we always have that one person who we confide in, but she isn't home yet, do you want to talk to me about it until she gets here?" Connor asks.

"Sure, but until I figure it out Dick can't know," Artemis says.

"Got it," Connor agrees.

"I've been thinking about the letters Wally wrote for me and Dick. What Dick said yesterday got me thinking."

"What do you mean, what he said?" Connor asks.

"When he said if he used Project 180 he wouldn't have the great life he has now."

"That was weird, I mean the Team shared everything with each other, but now that I think about it he never told us about his past."

"I know about it," Artemis says.

"How?"

Before Artemis can answer Megan walks up the driveway.

"Thanks for the ride home Lucas," Megan says waving to their neighbor.

"Babe, look who came to visit," Connor says.

"Artemis?"

"Hey Megan," Artemis says.

"Girl talk?"

"Girl talk," Artemis confirms.

"I know what to do," Connor says as he continues working on a bike.

"Thanks Hon," Megan kisses his cheek.

The two girls go inside.

"So, what's going on?" Megan asks making some hot water.

"What Dick said yesterday got me thinking about Wally's letters," Artemis says.

"What did he say yesterday?"

"How if he used the time machine he wouldn't have the great life," Artemis looks down.

"What did he mean by using the time machine anyway?"

"He told me, but it's one of those things that comes out in time, Dick will tell you when he's ready," Artemis says keeping the secret to herself.

"Okay, so how did what he said make you think of the letters?"

"The fact that he said he had a great life, I mean when he said that it made me smile and I have no clue why."

"Probably because he is the only single guy you've been around since Wally who realizes that even though he has a lot of stress, he is alive and grateful for it."

"I actually never heard Jason say that he was grateful to be alive, which he should be, and Grant just got annoyed with how long his flights were," Artemis says.

"Are you starting to like Dick?" Megan asks.

"I don't know, I mean he is always looking out for me, did you know that he actually did a background check on Grant," Artemis says.

"He did?" Megan asks.

"Yeah, he says he does it with all his friends."

"He didn't do that with my relationships," Megan comes over with some tea.

"He saved your husband from CADMUS and Lagoon Boy is from Atlantis, pretty sure they aren't bad people," Artemis says.

"Good point," Megan laughs.

"But I don't want to betray Wally," Artemis looks down.

"It's not betraying Wally if he gave you his blessing, truthfully I think it would be good for you to have someone Wally trusted, someone you know you can trust," Megan says.

"I have to go, a lot to think about," Artemis says after finishing her tea.
