Spitfite One Shots 

Chapter 1- stop and stare

Artemis and Wally were at it again. This time I think they were arguing about their recent training exercise. According to Artemis, Wally keeps using his powers as an advantage and has 'no real skills'. Obviously he wasn't one to back down from a fight and was quick to come up with a witty remark. Meanwhile the rest of the team was sitting in the living room with no choice but to listen. It was quite awkward, to say the least.

"If you didn't miss your shot maybe the exercise wouldn't've been a failure" Kid flash shouted at her waving his arms around for emphasis. "Oh look at me I'm Artemis let me shoot an arrow at you". He mimicked horribly, using a high pitch voice and imitating shooting an arrow. If anything this only angered the archer more.

"The only reason I missed the shot was because a certain Kid Idiot pushed me at the last second. And if you're going to imitate someone, at least do it right." She turned to walk away, but Wally wasn't finished yet. He grabbed her by the arm and turned her around to face him again. She groaned and elbowed him in the gut, and forcefully if I may add.

"Do you have a death wish?" She asked clearly annoyed, like he was the pesky fly you could never kill. He laughed dryly, "Give me your best shot? And that was all it took for Artemis's fist to come flying towards the speedster's face. Wally was unprepared and stumbled from the impact. His eyes narrowed glaring at Artemis, his eyes sending the message 'Game on'. Artemis raised an eyebrow but nonetheless accepted the challenge.

She took out her collapsible bow and set it in front of her, an arrow ready to be shot. She aimed a few arrows at his arms and legs, something to slow him down. He used his speed to an advantage but speeding towards her with immense speed. She aimed explosive arrows at the blurred Kid Flash. He actually caught one of them in his hands and stopped to gloat in her face.

"Do you really think mere arrows will stop me?!" he laughed in her face. "I'm Kid Flash, fastest boy in the world." Artemis snickered, and held back her laughter. 'Someone needs an ego check' she thought. "You have to think fast to be fast" she told him smirking for an unknown reason. That was when he heard it, the sound of a timer. In a panicked expression he glanced at the arrow in his hand, the countdown already in progress. The arrow exploded sending him backwards.

"It looks like I won" Artemis declared, preparing to walk away. Once again, Kid Flash wasn't finished. He quickly got to his feet and knocked over her bow and quicker. She gasped, mostly shocked that he had the brains to think of something like that. "Oh how the tables have turned" Wally said wearing a proud smile on his face.

Artemis growled "I can fight without my bow" And then she lunged at him. He barely had any time to dodge her attack, sending her hurtling towards the ground. However she used her momentum to do a backflip and land safely on the floor with a good amount of distance between them. The fight was just getting started. This time Wally ran to attack first. Artemis stayed in position with her arms in front of her ready to attack.

He aimed a punch which she easily dodged, and to top it all off she kicked his feet out from underneath him. Before he could get back on his feet she pinned his arms behind his back. "I told you I won" She leaned in closer to her ear and whispered "I always do". Kid Flash, not wanting to deflate his ego, walked backwards squishing Artemis between the wall and himself. She groaned from the hard impact, the walls at Mt. Justice aren't exactly made of feathers. Neither of them were willing to lose the fight.

Artemis kicked and punched her way out of the small scape she was enclosed in. It was difficult to say the least, she punched him in the shoulder, back and kicked him in the shin. They got up and got ready to start fighting again when a loud voice stopped them.

"ENOUGH!" the voice said, sounding a lot like Batman. They froze knowing they were screwed. Wally flinched turning slowly to meet his awaiting doom known to some people as the Bat glare, it was lethal. Artemis just like her opponent chose to turn around more slowly as she awaited her inevitable fate.

Imagine their surprise when they turned to see their fellow teammates holding back their laughter from their shocked faces. Robin took a picture smirking, just like the rest of the team members, even Connor managed to crack a smile. "What the hell guys?!" the archer shouted at them getting over her shock. The team, excluding Kid Flash and Artemis, sobered up and became serious.

"We...Umm...Kaldur can explain it to you" Robin said pushing the team leader forward. Aqualad glared at the Boy Wonder quickly before beginning his reasoning. "You see, to put it simply we are sick of you guys arguing and now it seems like you have taken it to a different level." He points to Wally's bruised jaw, and Artemis clutching her back. "You need to learn how to get along if we want this team to succeed." Immediately they started protesting but he silenced them with a hand. "Unless you want Batman to learn of your new hobby of fighting each other." They looked at each other and sighed giving in. 'It can't be that bad' Wally thought. Apparently things could become even more disastrous.

Two hours later, they team was failing miserably in getting Artemis and Kid Flash to get along better. They only had half an hour before they started another argument.

"Why would you do that it's disgusting and unsanitary!" Artemis yelled. Wally waved his bag of chips in the air "You eat chips your way, I'll eat mine my way." She was starting to lose her patience, but little did she know that her team was close to their breaking point with their petty fights. Their tolerance was almost up. "There's only one way to eat chips" She tried to tell him, he opened his mouth to respond when Zatanna was fed up, "SHUT IT" They turned from glaring at each other to face the angry magician followed by a frustrated Robin, Superboy, Aqualad and Martian.

"This is clearly not working, so I have an alternative" Despite her small frame, she can be scary when she wants to be. The arguing teens muttered sorry and followed Zatanna down the hall.

"Where are we going?" Wally asked for the umpteenth time. 'How could one person be so annoying?" she thought leading them further down the hall. Before Artemis could make fun of him or mock him in any way, Zatanna turned around abruptly. "We're here" The two teenagers looked around not fully understanding. "Go inside" the magician said sighing. Cautiously Artemis opened the door, Wally peeked over her shoulder to sense any danger. Zatanna pushed them into the closet and locked it behind them. Aqualad who was walking behind them stealthily raised an eyebrow questionably but nevertheless walked away. "If it teaches them to get along" he thought as he walked towards the living room where the rest of the team was waiting.

Meanwhile, in the closet Artemis found herself in an uncomfortable position with a certain redheaded speedster. "OW you're on my stomach" She told him wincing from the pain. "Well it's very hard to see in the dark" Wally shot back. Zatanna was so upset with them and locked them in a closet, forgot to turn on the light. So to make the situation hurt, neither of them could see. They stayed silent for a while, Artemis was amazed that he was able to keep his mouth shut for more than 2 seconds.

"Why are you so defensive?" Wally asked her. She groaned, "Why do you want to know?" she countered. He leaned against the wall, or what he thought was the wall.

"Well, it's hard not to wonder you know with you being so..." he trailed off thinking of the right word. "So what?" Artemis asked curious to know. "So secretive" he told her proud that he came up with the words. She rolled her eyes, but it's not as if he saw.

"If I'm secretive I have my reasons" she explained briefly not wanting to get into the subject. Just the thought of her past, and what she's been through was enough for her to shiver. Since they were in a rather cramped space, Wally felt her shaking. He heard every breath he took, he felt her arm brush against his from time to time. He didn't know it yet, but deep down a certain speedster fell for an archer.

"Are you ok?" he asked softly reaching out to touch her shoulder to comfort her. She winced at his touch. She shook her head, her hair tie falling and landing somewhere unknown of the ground. "I can't" Artemis whispered putting her head in her hands.

"I- we want to help you, and we can't do that if you don't let us. " He said blushing from his little slip-up. She sighed, feeling tear form in her eyes. Artemis let out a shaky breath and told in in a voice so low he almost couldn't hear it. "I'm not Green Arrow's niece" Wally looked up in surprise, he wasn't expecting that. He opened his mouth to speak but she beat him to the punch.

"My mom is huntress, a retired convict. The rest of my family are the real troublemakers. My sister is Cheshire and my dad is Sportsmaster." She looked down ashamed of herself and her family relations. A single tear rolled down her cheek, as she tried her hardest not to hold in years' worth of tears and sobs. "Hey, it's okay" Wally told her, rubbing her arm as an attempt to cheer her up. "Who your family is doesn't define you, you earned your place on this team. I know you were insecure but we aren't the type of people who would judge you for that. You didn't pick your family. "Kid Flash honestly explained. She smiled genuinely for the first time in what felt like forever. "Thank you"

Wally gasped "A thank you from Artemis, I must be dreaming" he teased. She rolled her eyes and was about to playfully punch him on the shoulder, but last minute she decided against it. Instead, she leaned over and aimed a kiss at his cheek when he moved suddenly aware of the close proximity of Artemis and himself. "What are you d-"he started to ask extremely confused when his lips met Artemis.

Even though he was surprised he didn't hesitate to kiss her back. She was the first one to pull away after a couple of minutes. "What was that?" She said starting to form a headache from all the thought processing in her mind.

"I don't know" he responded as they fell into an awkward silent for minutes. The seconds dragged on, eventually turning into minutes. Each minute that passed felt like an eternity until Wally spoke up. "Did that kiss mean anything to you?" he asked quietly, knowing she would reject him. What he didn't expect was for Artemis to grab his face and lock them in a passionate embrace. When they let go, he smirked and asked "Is that a yes or no?" Artemis rolled her eye but nonetheless pecked him quickly on the lips.

Once they finished exchanging saliva, he pulled her into his arms and they laid there, enjoying each other's company. "Thanks Wally" she told him once again. He looked up at her in confusion, by now they could see through the darkness that surrounded them. "For what?"

"For being here for me" she told him in a quiet voice, he was only person that she opened up to willingly. He hugged her tightly which reminded Artemis of a fluffy bear. "You're welcome" he said yawning. Neither of them knew the time since Zatanna neglected to leave them a clock. It was only a matter of seconds before Artemis began to feel sleepy and they fell asleep on each other.

Meanwhile, the team was in the other room enjoying every second of their peace and quiet. Currently they were watching TV and for once they could finally hear the program, normally they would put on subtitles for the shouting was too loud. Connor draped his arm over Megan, as they sat in the far end of the room. Kaldur and Robin were sitting opposite each other, still dressed in their uniforms. Zatanna, on the other hand was staring at the TV with the utmost interest.

"Wait!" Zatanna said sitting up straight and yelling, catching the attention of her teammates. They looked at her as if to say go on. "They've been quiet for a long time."

"Why is that a bad thing?" Connor asked standing up to stretch.

"Because it's too quiet, like suspiciously quiet." They all shared a knowing glance and wasted no time in running towards the locked closet. When the magician couldn't find the key she hurriedly whispered a spell in order for the door to open. Megan and Zatanna had to put their hands over their mouths to prevent them from squealing.

Wally and Artemis were cuddling, her head on his chest, his arms on her waist, hugging her like she was his childhood teddy bear. Plus, smiles on both of their faces made the situation they were found in even cuter.

The fan-girls were interrupted by a flash from a camera. They turned to see Robin holding a camera, smirking as if his life depended on it. "Blackmail" he told them simply. Zatanna told her eyes at the boy wonder and turned her eyes back to the adorable sight in front of her. Artemis subconsciously moved closer to Wally and her tightened his grip on her and snuggled closer to her, burying his head in her open hair. They were the perfect couple, the team just couldn't help but to stop and stare.
