Okay so here is a story I have to straighten out some things. Megan's name is spelled wrong on purpose it will make sense very fast in the story. There all in there early 20's. So Wally's 23, Artemis' is 22, Robin's 20, and so on. The year is 1963. No one is a super hero. Megan is not a martian. Zatanna's into witchcraft not magic. (If there's a difference.) In this first part I don't mention Jade but if you think of a good way to put her in my next chapter tell me and after you read tell me what I should do next even if there's now Jade. Also Fighter1357 I'm working on the story you asked for! I don't own anything... I'm 13 what do you think?

Gentle dew drops danced off the leaves of the lovely oak tree that was five times her size and Artemis smiled upon the beauty of this. Her father's friends snickered. " Ha! I'm glad my child doesn't focus on something so stupid." The mockery and simple shame the words brought to even simply hear boiled inside of him. So, when everyone was gone he would cut her hair. When anything didn't go as planned he would cut her hair. Golden feathers is what they looked like to her. But if she had feathers she could fly far, far away from this dreadful place.

Her father left but things hardly got better. She never cut her hair, not after her father use to cut her hair until her scalp would bleed and sometimes even after. She vowed never to cut her hair upon opening an old drawer and finding a pair of blood crusted scissors. This was one of the many reasons she had never left home, along with the help of her mother never, letting her out.

Her mother that day curled her hair and did everything in her power to make her daughter beautiful. " You have to be beautiful. Then you will marry the young man I have choosen and solve all our problems." her mother whispered in Artemis' ear while curling the last piece in her hair. She slowly put on the little bit of mascara on her eyes as the final touch.

"How do you feel?" She asked smiling at her daughters appearance.

"I feel like I'm being sold." Artemis said reaching for her mask-like face. " I don't look like me." she looked into the wooden vanity's mirror. Her lips were widen by clove and were pink. Her eyelashes were thickened by mascara and a thick line of eyeliner. Her hair in thick curls still very long. Her face coated in powder to even out her skin. Cheeks rose colored.

"I look fake." she spun around not standing to look at her own reflection. She looked out her bedroom window and was shocked. There were already people there starting the party her mother planned without her. "Whatever you may think Artemis I don't think they will. Now go get your dress." Paula said walking out of Artemis' room.

Artemis opened her closet like she was being timed. Almost all her dresses were blue, blue was the color she hated most because of that. She searched up and down until reaching a simple purple dress that sequins at the top and flowed in silk for the rest. She loved purple, it was a sometimes color. Sometimes the sky was purple, sometimes the flowers were purple, and sometimes she would wear purple to a special occasion to look sophisticated. And even if she loved the color purple she liked green, but it was a color that a "Lady" wears. Especially the shade of hunter green she wanted. Life to her was so misogynistic, it was 1963 women were powerful! Yet, Artemis was treated like a porcelain doll. Which was the exact opposite of what she was.

She rushed out to the backyard trying to be lady-like, only to fall. A young man helped her back on her feet, he was older than her, he had red hair and his bowtie was blood red. "Artemis this is Roy Harper. Roy this is Artemis." Paula said as Roy smiled and Artemis looked distantly away.

"Nice to meet you." he held out his hand in friendship, only to see her turn around and walked away. "Know your place." he murmured under his breath. She held up her middle finger still not looking at him.

She walked over to the swing bench and sat down. The bench was partly white and partly rusted. Every time she would swing it would creek. REEK-EEK! She swung on the swing and snickered at Roy yelling at her mother.

"So, what'd you do this time? Charm another guy with your personality?" a voice from behind her said, the Landscaper's nephew, Wally. He was covered in dirt and holding a muddy shovel. He grinned trying to lighten her mood. She had known him for years and he made her feel like a child again.

But today she was in no mood."Go away Wally. " The blonde grumbled. She shoved her face into her hands knowing she had messed up. Her purple dress was getting dirt and mud on the bottom, she didn't care. In her life her mother wouldn't ever let her fall in love. Not that she believed in it, but freedom would be nice.

"So," he sat next to her putting the shovel down." you think you messed up huh?" she shot up not caring at all."No! Roy's a pig! God he needs to understand the world won't just fall all over him." she yelled at the redhead then turning around to be facing a crowd of people staring at her. She dashed off to the side of the house. She was a fool, a fool for thinking she could out of these arranged marriage deals. Wally ran after her and he caught up to her surprisingly fast.

"Calm down Artemis. " he said finding her on the right side of the house. She leaned against the wooden house as if she had to move it. Her dress' lackey bottom drenched in mud and her face red and blotchy. He held her and rocked back and fourth while tears streamed from her face." Calm down." he whispered to her.

"I messed up and I fucking suck at this lady-like thing." she said her tears subsidising and Wally watched as she looked into the distance. He smiled and laughed. " You're an ass."she said starting to walk away.

" You're prefect. I don't know why you focus on being so insecure when no ones around." he laughed causing her to smile. " You should smile more." he whispered moving a strand of hair from her face.

"Artemis! Roy said he would give you a second chance." Her mother stared at the two for a moment. "Wallace? What. Never mind. Come Artemis. " her mother said walking away not caring what was going on.

Artemis smiled again and knew exactly what he was thinking. "You will never stop annoying me? Ever." he shook his head and walked away. "Good." she said to herself. She walked back to the party and tried her best to be pleasant.

For 5 weeks apparently Roy and Artemis had been"dating". Artemis and Wally also became a lot closer while making fun of Roy. Her blue dresses ever so dull but Roy alway commented something like " Blue again?" While sometimes she wouldn't hear him because she would talk to Richard, Bruce Wayne's son. He was different in a nice way everyone else was stuck up and he was nice enough to befriend Wally. Which impressed Artemis.

"Artemis, dearest, We have been together for a short amount of time but it feels like a lifetime." Roy began getting on his knee and Artemis laughed as Wally in the distance tried to pick up mud then fell right into it. He kept on talking trying to ignore the fact she wasn't paying any attention. " What do you say?"

She looked at the sky and truly smiled. " Yeah, sure." figuring he asked her on another "date" she looked over to where he was kneeling. He was holding out a large diamond ring. She gasped realising what she had just said yes to. His smiled grew greatly, she backed away slipping and getting a grass stain on her blue dress. She could never forget the dress, it was a cocktail dress it came up mid-thigh, which was a lot more casual than most dress she owned, there was a small pattern around it of simple flowers, and it had little sleeves. And she officially hated it.

Roy held out his hand to help her up and she pushed it from her face. She ran to the creaking metal bench and rocked back and fourth to calm herself down. A tear drifted down her face, she hated to cry. In the distance she could read Oliver Queen congratulating Roy his son. She didn't laugh at her mind for cracking jokes about what there lips looked like they were saying. Wally sat next to her taking off his muddy gloves. " What's wrong?" he said reaching for her hand. She drew her hand back like his was on fire.

" Everything. I'm going to marry Roy. " she said taking the deepest breath during her simple tears. Wally for once was lost for words. They both stared at the crowed as the cheered with laughs of victory. Her mother tried to ignore the fact her daughter was still in love and still around that Wally boy. She saw her mother blend into the crowd. "We should leave. This place. You know never come back." Wally quietly blurted out looking at the crowd distracted for the moment.

"And go where? Even if we had any money we wouldn't know a place to stay." she watched as the people laughed and talked. " Meet me later tonight. Promise you'll come." she nodded as he walked away. There was nothing good that would happen today.

Later that night...

She took a deep breath out on the balcony of her room. It was rusted like the bench, she clenched the rust as it stained her skin. She was still in her little blue dress gazing upon the bright white moon. Her silk dress shined against the moonlight . She slipped off her flats and felt the cold concrete of her balcony on the bottom of her feet.

" Artemis jump into my arms!" she heard a voice below yell to her, Wally. "Not world's best idea. But, there is the fact he could break my fall." she whispered to herself. She looked over the edge. " I'll do it! But if I die I'm taking you down with my dying breath." she said crawling over the banister. She looked once again and shut her eyes as she let go of the side. She fell on top of him smiling at the fact he did break her fall.

" Ouch." he groaned getting up and helping her up also up. They walked around to the front of the house and got into the cab. " Hello Artemis. " Richard smiled from the front seat as the driver pressed the petal. " Where are we going and why are you helping?"Artemis frowned looking out the window while they passed her house in a blur. " Out of here. And h ave you ever even left your house?" Richard asked knowing her response. "That's why."

She was silent for the rest of the drive. Until they rolled up on a sign labeled: Welcome to New York city. " We're staying in New York!" She yelled looking at the night sky lit up by the lights. " Yes, I know a girl Megann. She owns a bed and breakfast. So I can get her to let us stay there for free. But there is something you must know about her, she likes being a different everyday. One day she will be a preppy happy girl then the next she'll be a business woman. She has a room full of wigs and tons of makeup. It'll get normal. She's always Megann just a different Megann everyday." he explained with ease.

The cab driver stopped at a run down building with a bright yellow sign labeled Megann's! They got out of the cab as the bright yellow e in Megann burned out, spelling Mgann. The neighborhood wasn't pleasant and the beautifully ancient building or so Wally called it didn't make it better. Artemis for once felt like she had really grown feathers and flown away to a new glorious place. Even if it was a to a run down old bed and breakfast.

A girl with short black bob styled hair, a red polka dotted dress, and red high heels. Her make up was 40s flawless, ruby red lip stick, eyeliner black as night, and her foundation was perfectly placed. She looked like they had just stepped back into the 40s. She quickly ran down the steps and hugged Richard. "Richard hello!" she smiled stepping back while he snickered at the sign. She turned around facing the sign. "Oh, well then call me M'gann! " she laughed half serious. "Let me show you your rooms." she said leading them into the weary building.

"Here is where you will stay." she opened the door to a surprisingly nice room. They all had there own rooms. M'gann apparently didn't get much business. She said the witchcraft store got more business.

"Wally you know if they ever find me and you they will arrest you and take me back. We're wanted. You're a Criminal. What will we do if they find us?" Artemis said laying down on her bed as Wally walked out of her room.

He stopped and leaned against the door frame.

"I don't know." he looked distantly away. "So I'll have to make sure they'll never find us." he said finally walking out of the room and she listen as with every step he took the floor boards squeaked. She smiled as the foot steps slowly disappeared she was free and she was sure she would stay that way. Little did she know she was being deceived. By the one person she trusted, Wally.

So what do you think! I was going to make Artemis and Wally kiss by the house but i'm evil. :^D. Give me some ideas for the next chapter seriously. Do it! And I want your reviews! Seriously I take requests. Or do all of the above! Pretty please
