Artemis POV

I was lounging at the cave waiting for Wally. He hasn't shown up in a week. A week where I learned who he was. We were all in line in front of Black Canary. That's when I heard it, "kid flash:B03. He sped through the room, stopping beside Robin. "Hey gorgeous," He flirted, winking at BC, "how about a little one on one?"
"Listen up!" She commanded, ignoring him, "you all will be in twos. The pairing:
Aqualad and Superboy
Miss Martian and Artemis
And Robin and Kid Flash. Auq-"
"I'll take kid flash," I said raising my hand.
"No." He demanded, glaring holes into my skull
"Alright," Was all she said. I looked over and smirked, making him fume in anger.
"No holding back.. Baywatch," I said finishing with a glare. He walked up, grabbing my arm, surprisingly gentle, but still firm.
"Same to you blondie," He whispered in my ear, coming back with a matching glare.
"Alright, Aqualad and Superboy get in position... Begin!" And so it started.

M'gann walked up to me, "what was that all about?" She questioned
"Nothing meg, don't worry about it." I simply said. The battle lasted for 20 minutes before Superboy pulled a new move on Aqualad, effectively knocking him down. 'Those training lessons from BC have been really helping him,' I thought. M'gann was cheering up a storm. Superboy came over and she latched onto his arm. I rolled my eyes, "next up is Miss Martian and Robin," Rang Black Canary's voice. They got in position, "begin!" They took off, surprisingly Miss M lasted a lot longer than I gave her credit for. She has definitely been training extra time. The battle lasted 12 minutes, surprising most people.
All Black Canary did was smile in approval, "next is Artemis and Kid Flash." We both got in position waiting for the signal, "begin!" We both just circled each other, anticipating the others move. By the look of my face he can tell I was getting frustrated. I wasn't getting anything from him. This lasted for 5 more minutes before I launched myself at him. Our fight was the longest lasting fight, he wasn't even using his speed. I  was starting to get tired, but I refused to go down. He goes to punch me, so I  dodged right to avoid. That's when he randomly dropped low and wrapped his feet in impossible angles around my legs and flipped me. I ungracefully fell flat on my face, but those moves were to familiar. They were used on me as a kid. The screen said Artemis:fail, and when I looked at everyone else, they're giving him the same shocked looks.
"Umm.." He stammers
"Where did you learn how to do that. You didn't even use your speed... You always rely on your speed?" Questioned Robin with suspicion in his voice, 'so Robin notices something too,' I thought, quickly getting up.
"That was no fighting style I have ever seen any hero use," Spoke Aqualad calmly yet confused.
"That's because no hero uses those moves," I state. Wally turns around and grabs my arm, giving me the most deadliest glare. He leans close and whispers in my ear, "not one word, we made a deal," But the thing was it was in perfect Vietnamese. I stared, before growling and stomping off to my room.

*Robin's POV*

I watched Artemis walk off. When I looked back at KF, he was just watching her go. Maybe I can get Superboy to tell me what he heard. I walk up to KF, "hey," I say. He looks over with a glare, but it soon softens up, "hi," He finally says.
"What was that all about?" I ask, all he did was stare at the ground. I wait for him to say anything, but when  he doesn't I decide to change the subject, "you wanna go play some video games?"
"Can't. I have things I need to do," Was all he said. He leaves through the Zeta beam and I follow, planning on following him. That's when I noticed SB walking over. I wave, and he comes over, "Wally knows more than one language?" Was all he asked
I stare, "huh?" I question back
"With Artemis he was speaking another language. She understood it," He explained
I stare a bit, "well I never really knew or noticed anything. But I guess it does make sense, I mean he's a speedster and all. Flash knows other languages too," With the confused look he gave me I sighed, "it would be very useful to know other languages. Especially if you can run the world in under a minute and need to stop to get food." I explained, with the satisfied look on his face I must have given him the answer he wanted. He walks off, not even giving a bye, and leaves me alone with my thoughts. I never knew Wally knew more than one language. I narrow my eyes and proceed to my room. Just to check into things.. Maybe a bit of hacking.

*time skip*

I've researched all over Wally's files. Nothing say anything about him being bilingual or multilingual. I growl in frustration, that's when an idea hits me. I quickly hack into the security camera rewinding all the way back to Artemis and Wally's fight. I press play, zooming in, and enhancing the sound. What I heard was, "không môt lòi, chúng tôi dã thoa thiân." I was utterly confused. I mean yea, I knew many languages, but not this. I quickly find google translate, what came out was something I did not expect nor like. On the screen was, "not one word, we made a deal." A deal? What deal? Artemis knows something. I narrow my eyes and head out in search for her. I find her talking to the others, I sneek in listening. "Don't you all think he's acting just a bit weird?" Asks Artemis
"Well.. No. He seems to be completely fine to me Artemis," States M'gann
"Same here," Says Conner
"His reactions were most questionable to this Deathstroke person. But I find it no harm if it does not affect his performance in battle or anything with the team," Finished Aqualad. I finally had enough and jumped in the center of them, "hey guys, what are you all talking about?" Artemis narrows her eyes at me, "nothing." I glare back, effectively making her uncomfortable. I feel a satisfied smirk cross my face, "it seems like you all are talking about Wally's suspicious behavior." They all shift uncomfortably making me roll my eyes, "I'm with Artemis on this one," I begin, they all stared shocked, "I've noticed him acting strange too." They all stare before, "yes!" Exclaims Artemis, "well how about it boy wonder? How do you thing we should go about this?"
"Now Artemis, w-" "I actually might have something," I interrupted. They all gather around me like they're waiting for a bedtime story. Even Aqualad who is against this. "Well," Begins Artemis, "what is it?"
