Totally Spies: Gotham Gals

"Wow! The Metropolis Zoo is so cool!" Alex gasps, taking a picture of a lemur. "Come on, Artemis! They have baby lions!"

"I'm coming, but wanna stop by the Cougar Cafe first?" Artemis laughs, fixing her cat headband.

"Sure!" Alex exclaims, clinging to Artemis's arms.

Sam and Clover follow them, and after getting their desired food or drinks, they sit together.

"So, I have something huge to tell you," Artemis teases, sipping her milkshake.

"Ooh, what? Spill!" Sam, Alex, and Clover exclaim, scooting closer to Artemis.

"I'm dating Tommy Terror. Well, been dating him for like a month," Artemis admits, confusing her friends.

"I thought you were going to say you were dating Gargavor?" Alex says, making Artemis laugh.

"Him? Oh, please. He's like a volunteer bodyguard to me. Plus, he's friends with Etrigan, and that's basically like him being friends with my grandpa or dad. But Tommy, on the other hand," Artemis replies, swiping on her phone.

"You know what, I can see it. He fits the muscular, pale boy type," Clover says, remembering Artemis dated Cameron.

"Artemis, didn't you fight him multiple times before with the Young Justice team? How is this relationship even working, and how did it even happen?" Sam asks, eating a cat ice cream sandwich.

"Well-"

One Month Ago...

"Alright, I'm in," Artemis whispered, entering the warehouse.

"And I gotchu," Tommy said, jumping and tackling Artemis to the ground and accidentally kissing her. "I-I am so sorry."

"No, it's ok," Artemis replied, still maintaining eye contact with Tommy.

The two seventeen-year-olds stared at each other, then began to make out wildly. Tommy lifted Artemis so she was straddling him and pressed her against a wall. Tommy kisses Artemis's neck, holding her in place.

"So, see you later?" Artemis asked, putting her hair down to cover the hickey.

"Uh, yeah. Here's my phone number," Tommy said, writing his number on a post-it note and handing it to Artemis. "Call me when you get the chance."

"Ok, I will!"

Tommy leaves through the back, and Artemis leaves the warehouse, reporting that Tommy got away after a fight.

"Did you-Did you make a homerun?" Clover whispers, making Artemis laugh.

"Oh, no! We only made it to like, first and half base at the warehouse," Artemis explains, finishing her milkshake.

"Damn, girl. Now that you're in a relationship, we have to do a quadruple date!" Alex squeals, hugging Artemis.

"TotaLLLYYYYYYY!!" Artemis screams as she and her friends get woohped. "Really, Jer? On our school field trip?"

"Actually, your mission is quite appropriate for your current situation. Across the northeastern United States, multiple zoos have had animals breaking out and coordinating their escape by speaking human languages. Our intel gathers that a Western Lowland Gorilla named Lolo had somehow not joined the other gorillas in escaping and was transferred to the Metropolis Zoo last Sunday. Keep watch on Lolo and make sure the zoo doesn't turn into a jungle," Jerry explains, showing the spies the security footage. "For your gadgets, we have the Cat's all-seeing eye-contact lenses, the Feline-Claw press-ons, the High-frequency Wireless and Noise-canceling ear pods, and the Sticky-Gecko gloves and boots. Ta-ta, spies!"
