# The one where Artemis gets a roommate: chapter 1

''There's nothing to tell, we're just people who work with each other and nothing else!" Artemis Crock argued with her friends. " Arty, come on! There's gotta be something wrong with him if he agreed to go out with you, because I mean its you." Dick Wayne joked, as Artemis glared at him.

Dick, cut her some slack its not her fault she's man-repellent. Wally west starts "wait, does he have a hum, a hump and a hair piece?" Artemis looks at him and rolls her eyes. "Har har, anybody else have any comments?"

"Oh! does he eat chalk, because if he eats chalk that's a deal breaker, I don't want you to go through what I did with Conner." Megan Morse warned her. "Megs I just don't get you sometimes, I just don't get you." Dick points out with a nod in agreement from wally

"Guys, chill! this isn't even a proper date, or a date at all. We're just two co-workers having dinner, nothing else attached." Artemis pleas as wally replies with a sarcastic 'sure'. Knowing that teasing Artemis has gotten boring they had started discussing other matters, as in wally telling tales from college

"And when I look up, I see dick, in only his underwear, in the Café, walking around like its normal!" Wally tells the group who were looking at dick like he's crazy, or in Megan's case acting like she understands that story more than she should. "What? I got twenty dollars for that, and I totally would do it again," Dick defended. "Dude, Your dad is Bruce Wayne, damnit, you don't need cash from some college loser."Artemis points out.

About ten minutes later Roy Harper, Artemis' adoptive brother, comes in bringing a stormy and sad atmosphere. "Hey..." Roy mumbles extremely exaggeratedly sad. "this guy says hello and it makes me wanna kill myself "Dick feels the need to say."Hey, how you holding up?" Artemis asks him, ignoring dicks comment. Roy's soon to be ex-wife, jade, had just finished moving all her stuff out of the apartment. It made Artemis feel even worse that jade was her biological sibling, although Roy felt like more of a blood sibling than jade ever did . "I feel like someone reached down my throat, grabbed my small intestine, and tied it around my neck. "Jade moved her stuff out today" Artemis clarified. Megan starts moving her hand around Roys head, which gets an annoyed 'stop cleansing my aura.' Out of nowhere dick asks, "And you never knew she was a lesbian." Roy just glares at him

"I don't want to be single, I just, just wanna be married again" Roy pouts. At that very moment, a lady in her early twenties, comes in wearing a wedding gown. "And I, just want a million dollars!" Wally tries as her puts his hand out. "Hello? Is Artemis Crock here? Zatanna Zatarra asks out. "Zatanna?" Artemis asks unsurely. "Okay everybody, this is Zatanna, Zatanna this is everybody. That's wally, and that's Megan, and Dick, and you remember my brother Roy?" Artemis points everybody out. "Sure! Hi-" Zatanna doesn't get to finish because Roys umbrella opened facing her. "So you gonna explain, or are we waiting for your bridesmaids" Artemis jokes. "Oh, gosh,well it started a half an hour before the wedding started, and I was in this room where we wer keeping all the gifts, and I saw the most amazing gravy boat, and then I realized I was more turned on by the gravy boat than, Barry. I was starting to think, that how much he looked like Mr. Potato head, I mean he always looked so familiar, but I just couldn't put my finger on it. And I couldn't do the wedding anymore, so I just left." Zatanna explained "Okay, well lets go to my apartment and you can borrow a pair of my clothes" Artemis suggested
