Wally stood over Artemis' apartment. Now that he knew his friends on the team could see him, he was a little scared at how the others would act. "Rob was fine, but I don't think the others will take it so well."

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, concentrated on being invisible, and headed into the building.

He walked into the living room part of the apartment and saw Artemis' mom sitting there watching tv, but he barely glanced at her as he walked past her and toward Artemis' room.

He walked through the bedroom door, hoping she was decent, and saw her lying on her bed. She had her face down in the pillow, so he couldn't tell if she was sleeping or just lying there.

He looked around. It looked just like he remembered it; two beds, a poster for Alice in Wonderland, and a dresser. He sat down on the other bed and just watched Artemis.

He watched her for a good fifteen, twenty minutes before she finally stirred. She sat up and Wally could now see her face. She had red, puffy eyes and tear streaks down her face, and she looked absolutely terrible.

"What are you doing, Arty?"

Artemis jerked her head up and quickly scanned the room. "Who's there?"

'Crap. I'm not invisible enough,' he thought before he closed his eyes and concentrated on being completely visible. 'Might as well. She already knows someone's here.'

Artemis gasped and just stared at Wally as he appeared before her. They starred at each other, Artemis still to shocked by Wally's sudden appearance to speak.

After another few minutes of just staring at each other, Wally finally broke the silence. "Hey, Beautiful," he said smiling at her.

Artemis shook her head, got up, walked over to the other bed, and sat down next to him. Wally just watched her, still smiling.

She slowly reached over to touch him, stopping occasionally. When she finally touched his arm, she gasped again and quickly pulled her hand away then just looked at him.

Wally laughed a bit. "I'm really here, Babe."

Artemis smiled and reached her hand up to touch his face, but just before she touched him, she balled up her fist and punched him as hard as she could. Wally went flying backwards and off the bed.

"What was that for?" Wally asked as he stood back up.

"That was for leaving me!" Artemis yelled as she stormed over to him

Once she was in front of him again, she balled up her fist again and tried to hit him again, but Wally saw that one coming and ran. "Artemis, hold on a sec."

"Why should I?" she asked mad with tears falling from her eyes again.

Wally slowly walked toward her, his arms stretched out, as Artemis continued to glare at him, but he didn't think the glare looked too menacing with the tears in her eyes. "Look, I'm sorry, and yes, you have every right to be mad at me, but I came here to see you." He finally reached her and pulled her into a hug.

As soon as Wally pulled her to him, Artemis just broke down. Her legs gave out causing them both to fall to the ground, but Wally made sure that they went down slow enough so she didn't get hurt.

Artemis just clung to Wally and cried for a good twenty minutes before her sobs started to calm down. After another five minutes or so, she finally pulled away from him. "Why did you have to go?" She was now staring at him sadly, tears still in her eyes just no longer falling.

"I don't know, babe, but if there was any way to come back to you you know I would."

Artemis just nodded then got up and walked over to her nightstand. She picked up a picture with her and the rest of the team after the battle on the Watch Tower. They were all celebrating New Year's when they took a picture of the young team acting goofy. Wally was holding Artemis bridle style while both he and Artemis were making faces, Robin was hanging on Wally as well as giving Wally bunny ears, Conner was just smiling while M'gann was on his shoulders with her arms reached up into the air and smiling, Zatanna and Rocket were both leaning on Kaldur's shoulders, with one leg bent up in the air, and kissing him on the cheek making the Atlantien blush.

Wally came up behind her and smiled as he put his arms around her and his chin on her shoulder. "That was a great night."

"Yeah," Artemis said smiling. She then sat the picture back down and turned toward Wally, still in his arms, sad again. She then wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

After a few minutes, Wally broke off the kiss. "Arty, listen." He untangled himself from her and sat down on her bed and Artemis did the same. "I don't know how long I have left here, but I don't want you to be alone." Artemis looked at him a bit confused. Wally sighed, stood up, walked over to the nightstand, picked up the picture, and just stood there with his back to her just starring at the picture.

"Wally," Artemis said softly but stayed sitting, "we're all gonna miss you, but we won't be alone."

"So you'll go back to the team?" Wally asked turning back around but not putting down the picture.

Artemis looked down at her hands in her lap. "Yeah, but I think I'll wait until after the funeral. I just don't know if I can go back yet. Wait," Artemis said looking back up at him a bit confused, "was you just meaning me?"

Wally looked back down at the picture. "Yeah, and he'll probably ki... uhhhh... be really mad at me for doing this."

"Doing what? What are you talking about, Baywatch?"

Wally smiled at the nickname she gave to him the first day she met him. "Rob."

"What about him?"

Wally glanced once more at the picture before he sat it back down on the nightstand. "His secret identity," he said smiling up at her.

Artemis looked shocked. "You're gonna tell me Robin's secret identity? Bats would kill me! Are you trying to get me killed?"

"Well, I figured Rob could help you figure that out, you know, come up with a believable story on how you found out," he said smiling bigger. He then lost that smile and got sad again. "You and I hung out all the time after that night on the Watch Tower. I won't be around to do that with you anymore." Artemis cringed at that. "I just want you to have someone you can hang out with, someone that can be there for you when you really need them. I could always be there a few minutes after you called, and Rob can too. He lives in Gotham so he can get here fast."

"Wally, I'll be fine. I can go to the mountain. M'gann would be there for me..."

"But he likes you too," he said quieter.

The room went silent. Neither one of them moved for a few minutes, but then Artemis broke the silence. "He... likes me?" she asked clearly shocked. "But I thought he liked Zatanna?"

Wally smiled again. "Well, he does like her, but he told me that if I didn't like you, and you didn't like me, or I didn't get my butt in gear, that he would've made his move."

"How did he know I liked you?"

"Well, after New Year's, he and Zatanna came up to me and we were talkin' 'bout it. They said every time I tried flirting with M'gann you got jealous." He smiled a devious smile.

Artemis blushed and looked away. "I wasn't jealous."

"Yeah," Wally laughed, "that's not what Rob said."

Artemis just got redder. "Fine," she said finally looking back up at him, "I was jealous. I just can't believe you couldn't see that M'gann and Conner were a thing," she said with her own devious smile.

Now it was Wally's turn to blush. "I... Well, you see..."

Artemis just busted up laughing causing Wally to blush more. After a few more minutes, they both heard a knock on the door. "Artemis, are you ok?"

Artemis just smiled and looked at Wally. "Fine, mom."

"Ok. I have supper ready. Will you come out to eat with me" her mom asked hopefully.

Wally nodded his head at her. "Yeah, mom, I'll be right out."

They could both hear her sigh from the other side of the door then heard her wheel off.

"I'll leave so you can go eat."

"Wait," she said trying to grab his wrist, but her hand went right through it. She gasped and took a step back.

"Sorry, I have to become transparent to leave or I'll run right into the ceiling," he said smiling.

"Will you come back tomorrow?" she asked hopeful.

"I promise. Besides, I still have to tell you Robs ID," he replied smiling then turned and jumped up into the air and vanished through the ceiling.

Artemis smiled then walked out of her room to go eat with her mother for the first time since Wally's death.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, there you go. Now to explain myself a little bit.

Robin: That would be nice. Why in the world do you think I like Artemis?

Me: Well, after watching Homefront... or maybe it was a couple eps before or after... I seriously thought they were gonna put you and Arty as a couple.

Robin: *blushing* Oh. *runs out of the room*

Me: *smiling and crossing arms* He so likes her. Thanks for reading :D
