Conner never had a reason to visit the grotto before.
When the others had died, he had felt a hurt, but it wasn't the same as the one he had felt most recently.
Artemis had died.
By the hands of Aqualad.
Aqualad.
One of the original members of the team.
Their first real leader.
Nightwing had been closed off ever since Aqualad left, but he was even more so now.
Whenever there was a conversation about what they would do to Aqualad when they found him, he'd leave.
Conner looked up at the holographic form of Artemis.
Artemis had been a great hero.
She didn't deserve this, no, she didn't.
Aqualad, Kaldur'ahm, would pay.
Conner looked at Artemis.
He looked for a long time.
And then Icicle and Mammoth attacked.
