Danny and Artemis didn't tell anyone they kissed, they didn't know how.

But they did secretly hold hands once in a while. Not dating official though.

Danny woke with a start drenched in sweat. He took the blanket off of him and swung his legs off the bed and changed into a clean shirt.

He walked down the hallway to the kitchen and saw the light was already on.

He walked in and saw Artemis leaning on the counter with a cup of water in her hands looking down.

"Art?" He walked over to her and she jumped three feet in the air and dropped the water but luckily Danny caught the drink before it hit the ground.

"Didn't mean to scare you," he smiled at her.

"Sorry... What are you doing up?" She asked.

"Needed a drink," he shrugged.

"What about you? Are you okay?" He asked putting a hand on her shoulder.

"It's nothing, I'm fine," she didn't make eye contact.

"Artemis what's the matter?" He asked gently.

"It's just a nightmare, nothing bad," she mumbled.

"Want to talk about it?" He asked again and she shook her head.

"I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours," he tried.

"It was just a mission went wrong and it was my fault and everyone hated me cause... Cause we lost you in it," she sighed.

Danny pulled her close and she leaned against this shoulder with a shuttery breath.

"I'm not going anywhere art, don't worry," he rubbed her back.

"Your turn spooky," she mumbled.

"I was captured again and maddie and Jack killed you guys because you tried to stop them, that I wasn't strong enough to save anyone..." He trailed off.

"Like jazz?" She whispered and Danny nodded.

"I'm scared I'll loose someone I love again," he leaned his head on top of hers.

"It's okay," was all Artemis could say.

"Danny, what are we?" She asked. They locked in eye contact.

"Hopefully more than friends," he said and ran a hand through her hair.

"Maybe you could be my girlfriend?" He said shyly and Artemis pressed her lips against his softly.

"Duh, I was hoping for that," she smirked and he cupped her face and kissed again.

"We should get back to bed, it's four in the morning," Danny chuckled and kissed her forehead.

"Danny..." She trailed off. She wanted to tell him about her family, her dad and sister, no one knew about them being villains and her mom being an ex villain, but she stopped herself fearing he would hate her for it.

"I'm here for you any time," she kissed him one more time and they went back to their own room.
