Wally sat next to Artemis as they both looked up at Bruce and Dinah trying to appear more innocent than they actually were. It would have worked if Bruce wasn't secretly Batman and Dinah didn't have a no crap attitude.
"Wally, you know that you're not supposed to go off on your own. We didn't know where you were. What would we tell your aunt if we couldn't find you?
"And Artemis, you looked like you had more common sense than this-"
"You never actually said I had to stay with you. I was never told, therefore, blame cannot be pinned onto me, but it also cannot be placed on Wally, he simply didn't want me to be bored."
"Actually, I was just hungry."
"Here I am, trying to get you out of trouble and you dig yourself deeper," Artemis muttered.
"He tends to do that," Bruce said, it was the first time he had talked. His voice was deep and his face emotionless. Wally shifted awkwardly on the bench. Artemis wanted to stand, make herself seven feet tall so she was the one intimidating them.
"Mr. Wayne.." Artemis started to say. "Sorry," Artemis muttered.
"It's fine."
"Where's Zatanna?" Wally asked.
"In the car with Alfred," Dinah answered.
"Dinah, I need to go back to Gotham, Oliver is coming tomorrow to take Roy out for the day."
"Okay, I'll take care of this later, I'll see you a few weeks, Bruce."
"Diana may or may not come." Bruce said before walking away.
"So glad this isn't juvie or some other weird prison like thingumabob for kids!" Wally yelled as he jumped over the back of the couch, holding a-(two feet?!)-popcorn bowl filled to the brim with popcorn and candy. Zatanna followed more calmly with a tray of dessert and soda cans.
"Yeah, otherwise, you two would be in a lot of trouble." Zatanna said, setting the tray down on the table.
"No dessert for a week!" Wally protested. "That's a horrible punishment! I need my sugar!"
"What you need is a less than 100,100 calorie diet," Robin replied. Artemis leaned forward and grabbed a few cookies. She batted off Wally's snatching hand and took a bite of the delicious warm goodness.
"Are we starting with Martha?" Kaldur asked, sitting next to Artemis.
"No. Nine."
"But if we do not start with Martha, no one will understand the awesomeness of Martha," Kaldur protested.
"Okay, let's vote. Start at nine?" Wally asked. Megan's, Conner's, Robin's, and Wally's hand went up. "Start at Martha?" Kaldur's, Roy's, and Zatanna's hands. "Artemis?"
"Don't care."
"Nine," Wally said, taking a chip from Robin who tried to take it back. "It is then."
Kaldur almost groaned.
"Come on!" Robin yelled. "If we're going to pull an all nighter, it at least needs to have something worth having an all nighter for!" Roy rolled his eyes, then Wally hit play.
It was all down hill from there.
"Artemis, are you okay?" Kaldur asked. She shook her head no.
"Rose! Why? That's not fair!"
"Yeah, it's okay," Wally said awkwardly, patting her on the back. Zatanna and Megan were prepared, Conner never showed emotion and Robin was asleep. Roy was sitting there like he didn't care. "Doomsday gets to all of us. You can wake him up now," Wally muttered to Zatanna.
