Please don't use my ideas as it's really hard for an author to think of them and often takes a long time to write. Thank you!
If you want to translate this, however, I'd be more than happy to let you. Just pop me a PM and we'll talk.

GOTHAM ACADEMY...

Artemis walked out of chemistry class in Gotham Academy with Bette, both talking about how boring the teacher was, and how the class didn't make sense. They both walked down the hallways of the large, fancy building, a few books in their hands as they chatted away together, laughing occasionally at some joke.

Artemis and Bette had really gotten close over the last few months, and she was now her best friend at Gotham. Of course, there was Barbara Gordon and maybe even that Dick kid that Artemis used to laugh and joke around with, but Bette was the closest to Artemis from the three. She reminded her of M'gann sometimes, with her smile, laugh and always cheerful attitude.

Artemis really missed her old school, Gotham North, but came here to keep her mother happy. Bette kept talking about the professor when Artemis drifted into her own thoughts, nodding now and then at Bette's comments.

"Artemis! You didn't listen to a word I said, did you?" Bette scolded, with a hint of amusement in her tone.

Artemis shook her head, getting out of her thoughts, "Sorry," she mumbled, her face falling for a few moments before she put a forced smile on for her friend.

Bette reached out and put a comforting hand on Artemis's shoulder, "What's wrong," she asked gently, knowing something was the problem. Artemis had that far off look on her face often now, and it worried Bette.

"I just…don't really feel like a fit in over here. It's different from the school I used to go to, and the only real friends I have here, are you, Barbara and maybe that Dick a little," she replied, her eyes downcast.

Bette shook her head, "That's not true, you fit in-"

"What's wrong with Gotham Academy?" Dick interrupted, as he walked towards the group. He was looking at one of his best friends on the team, even though she didn't know who he really was because she knew Robin a lot better than Dick.

Artemis shook her head again, "It's nothing," she said, smiling at the look Dick gave her which almost shouted out, 'I don't believe you,'

"Here Artemis, look at this," he said, reaching into his bag and getting out a smiley faced sticker, and before she could react, he slapped it onto her forehead, laughing - no, cackling - at her dumbfounded expression.

Rita walked toward the trio, her arms crossed, and her brown hair neatly behind her. "Hi guys," she greeted, smiling at the sticker on Artemis' head.

"Gee thanks, Dick," Artemis said sarcastically, but grinning as she pulled it off.

Bette giggled at Artemis' then greeted Rita, "Hey Rita," she replied, grinning at the older girl.

"Dick, it's like you have a belt of tools to cheer people up," Rita stated, jerking her head towards the now grinning Artemis.

"Yeah, sort of like Robin, I mean, he has the same haircut as him," Bette added, making Artemis' and Dick's eyes widened.

"Pfft, imagine Dick flying around in a cape," Artemis said, smirking at the thought of the ridiculous idea.

'Phew! I thought I was dead meat, thank god,' Dick thought, looking at the girl who looked at him with disbelief. Dick got up and hopped onto the bench.

"I would make a great Robin," he defended, jumping into the air, doing an impression of an amazing flying kick, before landing hard on his rear, even though he could've stopped and maybe even done a back flip or two.

"Sure you would," Artemis said sarcastically, getting up to go to her next class. She shook her head at him once, before taking up her books again and following Bette as the walked away.

"The day you become Boy Wonder is the day I learn to fly," Rita added, walking away, laughing lightly.

Dick turned around and grinned to himself, "Haven't you learned how to fly yet?" he mumbled under his breath as Barbara came over to him.

"Hey Dick!" she exclaimed, smiling at her best friend.

"Hi Babs," Dick replied, smiling as Barbara linked her arm with his and pulled him away. Dick thought he saw Artemis turn around once, and wink at him before disappearing into the room.

'Nah, I must be dreaming,' Dick dismissed the thought and went to the next class with Barbara.

Artemis had been looking for Dick all day to get to speak to him. She had wanted to inform him about something, but only got a moment to speak before he left.
She sprinted to the gates when she saw Dick's short figure talking to a boy.

"Hey, um, Dick?" Artemis asked, touching his shoulder lightly.

Dick turned around to face her, "Yeah? Hold on a sec," he replied, waving to the boy.

Alfred had arrived to pick Dick and was waiting for a little impatiently in the car, "Listen Artemis, you gotta hurry up, I have to go," Dick said, glancing over his shoulder at the car waiting for him.

Artemis nodded, "Fine, I'll tell you some other time," she said understandingly, then smirked, "See you at night,"

"Alright," Dick replied, and then quickly clasped his hand over his mouth.

'Did I just?'

Dick looked around for the archer, but she had disappeared in a group of friends. He walked over to the limo, frowning.

'Why did she say 'See you at night'? Has she figured it out? Nah, can't be possible,'

Dick's thoughts were interrupted by a British accented man calling, "Master Dick, we must hurry," Dick nodded, getting into the car, "Sorry, Alfred...I was just….deep in thoughts," Dick said slowly.
