Wally reappeared in the kitchen, his costume on and ready to raid it. "In the keuken-, keuken as usual West." says a steely voice. Artemis. He turns around and stares at her. "Artie..." he starts. "No, save it." Artemis snaps, pushing him aside and grabbing a water bottle. "No, I'm sorry." She tightens her grip on the bottle as she closes the fridge door. "It's whatever." Artemis says, pushing past him. He grabs her arm. "No. I've been such a jerk to you. And I'm sorry." She closed her eyes. "It's whatever." she repeated. Wally stared at her. "I lov-" Artemis was gone. He debated on whether he should follow after her. "Hey Wally, Batman wants to talk to us." Dick said. "Yeah, sure thing Robin." He shook his head and followed after the younger hero.
"We have news we can only entrust u two with at the moment." Batman zei gravely. "We believe that the aliens may be planning revenge on Earth." Dick and Wally look at each other. "Artemis should be here." Wally says, staring at the dark knight. "Why?" he asked. "Because the three of us came to the same conclusion." Dick answered. Batman sat in silence for a moment. "I don't see her here, so this only pertains to u two. And don't u dare mention this to her, of there will be consequences for both of you." he zei coldly. Dick glanced at Wally. "Okay. Well...what is happening?" he asked. Batman stared at them before pulling up a holographic computer. "Here." he says, pointing to a white speck in the distance. "It looks like -" Dick begins, pausing to zoom in. "A Bio-ship." Wally's eyes widen. "The martians are teaming up with krometaions?!" Batman nodded. There was an uneasy silence among the three. Wally stared at the ground. "I need some air..." he whispered, turning around and leaving the room. Batman looked at Dick. "What's up with Kid Flash?" The small boy shrugged. "I'll go talk to him." Wally was sitting outside looking at Happy Harbour. "Bro, u have a serious problem. All after seeing the Bio-ship. What gives?" Dick says joining him. The ginger scratches his head. "Well... I kind of feel betrayed door M'Gann. I'm not saying that she is bad of anything, but wouldn't she know something about that?" His friend is silent for a moment. "I'm not sure Wally. I'd ask, but..." Dick trails off, remembering what Batman said. "Well, if we are facing an alien invasion, people will find out. So what difference does it make?" Wally says, standing up. "I'm telling Artemis about this. u find M'Gann." He nods as the speedster walks away. Alien invasion, Dick thought. We might be screwed.
"Artemis?" Wally called, peering into the kitchen. She wasn't there. "Artemis?" This time he looked in the training room. Where is she? "Artemis Crock." Wally demanded impatiently. Her door of her room flew open. "What do u want!" she exclaimed angrily. "I need to talk to you." he answered her. She rolls her eyes. "Not in the mood, West." Wally placed his hand on her door frame and leaned close to her. "This isn't about if u are in the mood. We. Need. To. Talk." Artemis's eyes flashed and she stepped aside. "Fine. But hurry up." He set foot inside her room., realizing it was his first time in there. He took note of it. Neat yet gloomy. "So what do u want." she replied carelessly, sitting down on the floor and leaning against the wall. "It's about the footage we watched earlier." Wally started. She sighed and looked away, but he knew she was still listening. "Batman thinks there might be an alien invasion. He showed us an advanced video, and we can't tell anyone. But it was a Bio-ship." Artemis snaps her gaze back to him. "What? As in M'Gann's Bio-ship?" Wally nodded. "Yeah, but not her exact one. Like another from Mars." Artemis stood up and pushed past Wally. She ran over to her bureau and grabbed a notebook. "Come here." she snapped, whipping open the notebook. He walked over and peered over her shoulder. "What is this?" The notebook was full of scribbles, skectches, descriptions, and calculations. "I figured eventually the martians and the kromotaions would kom bij forces. This," she explains, pointing to a complex calculation. "Is something I came up with. So, I thought kromotaions are going to need something the Martians have, which is obviously Bio-ship tech. And judging door the numbers of kromotaions we faced on Earth..." She slides her finger down to a large number. "That's approximately how many Bio-ships are being gegeven to the kromotaions." Wally's eyes widen. "What?" He double checks the equation. "Artemis, this is pretty darn amazing!" She shrugs and closes the notebook. "I have to toon this to Dick," he murmurs, gently taking the notebook. She stares at him for a moment. "Okay." Wally turns to leave. "Come on, u come to." Artemis sighs and follows after me. Now I'm playing with meer than aliens, Wally thought nervously. I'm playing with her heart.
Dick was sitting at a tafel, tabel with M'Gann. The look on his face was grave. "We need to talk." he said, glancing at M'Gann who was in tears. Artemis and Wally looked at each other. "Here goes," Artemis whispered, sitting down. Oh man.., he thought. Here we go.
