Artemis watched as Wally trained... Shirtless. She felt herself blush and stopped. She couldn't be falling in love, could she? She didn't want to... She couldn't... Artemis got up and walked to her bedroom, trying to clear her head.
"Putting my defenses up, cause I don't wanna fall in love. If I ever did that, I think I'd have a Heart Attack," Artemis told herself, but then looked at a picture of Wally she had in her room.
"Never put my love out on the line. Never said "Yes" to the right guy. Never had trouble getting what I want, but when it comes to you, I'm never good enough," Artemis said to the picture.
"When I don't care, I can play 'em like a Ken doll. Won't wash my hair, then make 'em bounce like a basketball," Artemis remembered the past boyfriends she had.
"But you make me wanna act like a girl. Paint my nails and wear high heels. Yes, you make me so nervous, that I just can't hold your hand," Artemis said spinning around in her room.
"You make me glow, but I cover up, won't let it show," Artemis replayed in her head all the times she denied she liked Wally.
"So I'm... puttin' my defenses up, cause I don't wanna fall in love, if I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack," Artemis said and fell onto her bed. "I think I'd have a heart attack, I think I'd have a heart attack."
"Never break a sweat for the other guys. When you come around, I get paralyzed, and every time I try to be myself, it comes out wrong like a cry for help," Artemis said and looked at a picture of her father.
"It's just not fair, pain's more trouble than love is worth. I gasp for air, it feels so good, but you know it hurts," Artemis said.
"But you make me wanna act like a girl, paint my nails and wear perfume for you, make me so nervous, that I just can't hold your hand," Artemis said and pulled out a dress from her closet.
"You make me glow, but I cover up, won't let it show," Artemis smiled when she thought of how Wally stood up for her against Roy.
"So I'm... puttin' my defenses up, cause I don't wanna fall in love. If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack," Artemis said sighing. "I think I'd have a heart attack, I think I'd have a heart attack."
"The feelings got lost in my lungs. They're burning, I'd rather be numb, and there's no one else to blame. So scared I take off and I run, I'm flying too close to the sun, and I burst into flames," Artemis thought about training the other day, when she twisted her ankle and Wally picked her up.
"You make me glow, but I cover up, won't let it show," Artemis said softly watch Wally train from her doorway.
Artemis turned away from the door, "So I'm... puttin' my defenses up, cause I don't wanna fall in love, if I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack. I think I'd have a heart attack, I think I'd have a heart attack. I think I'd have a heart attack."
"Artemis?" Artemis jumped at the sound of Wally's voice.
"Hey," Artemis said.
"Hey," Wally said back to her. "Wanna train?"
Artemis nodded and smiled to herself. She took Wally's hand and the two went to train.
