Chapter 2-

Rome, Italy

Artemis did a little remodeling while Wally 'went to get something important'. Probably his ego. Couldn't fit it in his suitcase.

Wally burst through the door at super-speed. In his hands he was carrying a pizza, bánh pizza box and in the other, a game system. He stopped cold.

"Why is their only one bed?" he asked.

"There's two." Artemis replied. "Yours is in the closet."

Wally tossed the pizza, bánh pizza and game system down before getting in Artemis's face.

"Why do I have to sleep in the closet?"

"Because I'm a girl."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Girls need fresh air." Artemis đã đưa ý kiến calmly, and tossed her hair behind her back.

"What about me? I need fresh air!" Wally exclaimed, getting frustrated(er) at Artemis's calm attitude.

"Fine, bạn can take first watch."

"First what?"

"First watch. We are members of a Junior Justice League. Something bad is bound to happen."

"But no one knows we're here." Wally interjected.

"It's just a few hours on the roof hoặc in the hotel to see if anything is wrong."

Wally crossed his arms. "I need sleep."

Artemis snorted. "Sleep? Just down a few five-hour energies."

"Funny. bạn can't run at super-speed. bạn wouldn't understand."

"You have super powers. bạn wouldn't know how civilized people need sleep."

"Civilized?! Why bạn little-"

The cell phone rang. Wally dug it out of his pocket and answered it. Robin's voice rang out of it.

"Megan đã đưa ý kiến stop arguing, she can sense your anger across town. Get trated and go to bed!"

"Trated?" Wally asked.

Robin sighed. "Frustrated. Take off the Frus, bạn get trated. Now GO TO SLEEP!" and Robin hung up.

"I'm sleeping out here." Wally đã đưa ý kiến after a moment, heading to the closet.

"On the other side of the room." Artemis said.

"What? bạn think I wanna sleep near you? Eew!"

Artemis glowered at him and headed to the bathroom to change. bởi the time Wally had set up his bed, Artemis had changed and was in her bed, đọc a book.

Wally dumped his bag out on his giường and inserted a game into the game system. He grabbed a slice of pizza, bánh pizza and started playing.

Sometime later, Artemis got up and got a piece of pizza. She put her book aside and watched Wally play.

His Avatar was beating people's butts. Wally was shooting everything that moved. 

"Look out!" Artemis said, spotting something. "Sniper on the third floor!"

Wally took it out. He bit his lip and mumbled something that Artemis took as a "Thank you."

After saving Wally a few thêm times, Artemis asked for a controller. Wally muttered something and tossed her one. Artemis joined the game and started blasting bad guys too.

Hotel Lobby 
23:11 CET 

"Money! Now!" the masked man pointed his gun at the old woman who fainted. The man groaned and climbed over the counter. He shot the lock to the register.

"Did bạn hear that?" Wally asked, pausing the game.

"Gunshot?" Artemis asked.

"Yeah." Wally said. "This looks like a job for-"

"Stop!" Artemis said. "Pretty sure Siêu nhân already has the rights to that line."

"Ugh!" Wally said. He pressed his ring and his suit popped on. Artemis quickly ducked into the bathroom and emerged in hers.

The two teens ducked downstairs in time to see the two robbers jump over the counter with the money in their bags heading towards the door.

Wally zipped in front of them.

"All bags must go through hotel security." he said, poking out his chest. Artemis groaned and face-palmed herself.

Wally snatched the bags away. He looked inside. "My, my, this certainly is suspicious. Mind coming down to the stati-unh!" one of the men knocked Wally back.

"Hey," the other said. "that's Kid Flash!"

What a genius.

"Get him!" the first one said. They pulled up machine súng and fired. Wally had disappeared so the only other target in the room was Artemis.

"Down!" Wally yelled, tackling Artemis, knocking her behind a pillar.

"What's going on?" Megan's sleepy, but concerned voice sounded in their heads.

"Big thugs with machine guns!" Artemis said, glancing around the corner of the pillar, drawing thêm fire. "What else?"

"Are bạn okay? Is it the mafia?"

"We're fine. Does the mafia rob banks?"

"Doesn't the mafia sit at a bàn and eat with machine guns?" Wally interjected.

Artemis groaned. "Draw their ngọn lửa, chữa cháy and I'll get them." she said. 

Wally dashed out and the thugs' machine súng followed. Artemis rounded the pillar and shot two arrows. They hit their targets in the forehead. The two men fell to the ground unconscious. 

Wally sped up to her. "Nice!" he said. He put the money in the register and tied the men up to a pillar. He sped upstairs to where Artemis had already changed and was asleep in the bed.

Wally grunted. He changed back into his Civvie clothes and went to bed.


Rome, Italy
8:23 CET December 14

Artemis was shaken awake bởi Wally.

"Get up!" he said. "Get up, get up, get up, get up!"

"Who is it now?" Artemis grumbled, still mostly asleep.

"We'll miss the free breakfast!" Wally whined. Artemis rolled over, turning her back to him. "Later, mom!"

Wally though for a minute. Then an idea popped into his head. He bent down and whispered into Artemis's ear. "Hey, ninja girlfriend."

Artemis turned over at speeds that rivaled Wally's own, in the process knocking her head on Wally's nose. Wally stumbled back, clutching it.

Artemis sat up and looked around. When she saw Wally, she groaned and pulled the covers over her head.

"Get up!" Wally said, tugging on the covers. "Get up hoặc we'll miss the free breakfast!"

Artemis groaned again, but got up none the less.

In a few phút she and Wally were in the lobby eating. 

Wally had just about ten of everything on his plate. And he was eating it like a true Flash. Talking with his mouth full, belching, and spilling syrup all over his white shirt.

Artemis was doing the complete opposite. They must have been the oddest pair. Artemis wanted to di chuyển somewhere else, but she knew that if she left him, he'd do something stupid. So she was stuck with him.

For now.
