After the New Year's kiss (Wally and Artemis getting together)

Interrupted

January 10th, Mount Justice

The whole team is in Mount Justice, Kaudur, Robin, Wally, and Artemis are training. M'agan helps Conner work on the shear while Z is studying beside them. The whole team is pretty comfortable with each other's company. Not just a team but a group of friends just chilling together. They don't need a mission to have a good time. The tension is only between Wally and Artemis.

The tension is only between Wally and Artemis. Today was the first day since the kiss when they saw each other. Even thou their thoughts have been occupied with one another for the past 10 days and maybe even more. They haven't talked yet and figured out what is going on between them.

Artemis was dying to tell him how much she likes him as she couldn't open herself up enough to say the truth that she was completely in love, She was thinking saying "I like you. Is enough for now".

Wally asked Dick to find Artemis's number but he was too nervous to call or text her and say what he wanted to say, that he wanted to spend every second with her, she is the best person he knows and dam it he wanted to tell her how much he loves her. But he was not going to, he knew her, and she could break his heart in a second, I better tell her I like her for now. He said to himself.

They both wanted to talk today. But there was no good time to as they were busy training. They tried to start the conversation once or twice but they were interrupted every time.

Earlier in the day:

Artemis was sparing with Robin and Wally with Kaudor. After Robin threw her on the floor and she surprisingly took him with her she felt dizzy and took a break to drink water. Wally noticed her leaving the ring and let Kaudur win, not that it was too hard for Kaudur to do. and Wally rushed to the side to hydrate himself and more importantly to talk to Arty. Artemis took her time resting; she could have already been back sparing but her heart was racing with excitement when she saw Wally approaching.

Awkward hi were exchanged and they both blushed.

W: ...mm I didn't see you in a while. Wally stated the conversation

I was thinking about you aaaa... mean I was wondering how you been. ... I just thought about that not that I was thinking about you before that... He nervously rambled

a: Oh that's a shame, I was thinking about you. But I guess I should stop.

Artemis gives him a cheeky smile. She might be scared to open up, but before that she is a natural at provoking, and that gets what she wants, and now she wants him to tell her his feelings.

Wally starts regretting everything he said and stumbling on his words.

Robin yields at Artemis: Are we continuing or you give up?

A: You wish. Artemis replies and gets up to return to the training area

Kauder gives a disapproving look to Robin

R: What, Don't you want to continue training? And shrug his shoulders.

As Artemis walks past Wally she smiles and teasingly says To be continued.

Wally watches her walk past, he is so in love.

As Artemis steps on the ring turns to Robin. a: You saved him.

r: No idea what you mean. Robin acting innocent.

They continue training.

Later in the afternoon:

After some more training, fixing, and studying everyone is tired and just chilling in the living room. Robin is surfing truth the channels looking for something interesting and trying to skip Hello Megan, as is still weird for everyone.

Z: I'm bored, Want to play something.

M: Oooh Yes!

Everyone nodes in agreement.

K: Any suggestions?

M: Heard of that game Spin the Bottle. But I don't know what it is.

A: You don't want to play this one, trust me.

Z: Oh really Artemis, it's fun you say that.

Wallies blushes. Artemis gives a "You are supposed to be on my side" look to Zattan.

Z: Okay something else will be. Zatana smiles happy with herself.

R: Truth or Dare? Anyone?

M: How do you play it?

K: I'm also not familiar. I'm afraid.

Z: It's fun

Robin and Zatana explain the rules with some auditions from Wally.

A: Nothing to hide now should be chill

M: I like it let's do it!

Kauder nodes in agreement

M: Conner, What about you do you want to play?

C: Yeah, whatever.

R: It is decided then

On the shelf under the TV is a board game version of Truth or Dare with prompts. they picked it as is going to be easier for the people that never played it before.

Some of the prompts were a bit silly but everyone had good fun.

Artemis and Wally couldn't focus on anyone else truths or dare accept each others. They wanted each other so much, they wanted to know more to hear more to see more. Every turn for them was a treat as they enjoyed learning something new about the person they loved or seeing the silly dares.

For example, Wally would never guessed Artemis, the girl with a green costume and green civil clouts, actually likes blue.

Or that Wally, the science guy is terrified of horror films.

After many rounds is Artemis's turn

A: Truth, I'm too tired for dares.

The Prompt: What's your favorite sport?

Robin starts saying that's a boring prompt but Artemis cuts him with excitement.

A: Baseball! And with more composure adds: I loved playing baseball.

Wally thinks to himself her eyes light up. She must truly love it.

W: Past tense? Why in the past tense?

A: Oh I don't play anymore. She notices Wally looks at her like he wants to know more, and she continues. I used to be on the team in middle school, I was the only girl but the couch let me in I was pretty good I guess. But the high school coach was not that cool. and kick me out. now all of my old team plays together and I'm not even in the same school.

M: Oh that's terrible.

K: Aren't you in a new school, you might try again.

R: There is no point in trying in GA.

A: Yeah, in this rich kids, skirt-wearing school. No way anyone will let me on the boy's team.

W: Sorry to hear.

Artemis can't help but smile every time he talks to her or talks in general, or he looks at her, or she looks at him... But she keeps her cool and replies.

A: It's fine I like this team more.

The game continues but Wally's brain gets stuck on this prompt. And how passionate Artemis was about baseball He thinks I might can do something she would like.

It gets late and the prompt card ends. Everyone had a lot of fun but now is time to go home.
