I love these two ships (As friends) I don't have anything wrong with liking the other gender at all. I just wanted to get that straight. Hope you enjoy!

Author's P.O.V.

Artemis parked her motorcycle and stood up. She took off her green helmet, which matched the bike. She walked up to the school ignoring all the looks she was getting from the kids. She came to pick up Zatanna and take her to the cave and hang out with the team. Her eyes went left and right until she found a raven haired girl. But that moment never came. The archer swiftly grabbed a boy and moved her face closer to his. Catching the unwanted attention of many others,

'Best last day ever!' she heard a kid scream out. She narrowed her eyes at him and brought him even closer, she could feel his breath hitch. "Where is Zatanna Zatara." Artemis stated rather loudly so the entire group of people could hear. Most were surprised wondering why she wanted to see Zatanna. He gulped and his eyes darted left and right as if silently asking for help.

"Sh-She's in the school..." a kid finally spoke up and Artemis dropped the boy and a loud thud was heard. She walked to the kid who told her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Thanks." is all Artemis said before walking into the large building. She swung open the doors and walk down the hall with pride. She turned her head to see if Zatanna was anywhere but she couldn't see the magician.

A faint scream was hear and Artemis' head darted up and ran toward the sound, happy that she didn't let M'gann talk her into wearing heels today. The sound had led her to a staircase. She stood there silently wondering if the scream were to come back. When it didn't she slowly began walking up the staircase. "Stop!" was heard and she bolted up the stairs. It was a familiar voice. It was Zatanna's voice.

She turned the corner to find one more set of stairs and she ran even faster. She kept running and turned so many corners she was probably lost. No she was lost. "I said stop!" Artemis began running again "BITCH!" a loud thud was heard and it wasn't until Artemis turned the corner when she saw blood. Beneath a raven haired girl three other girls surrounding her. Artemis' face turned red with anger as she came closer to the women.

Two of them saw her and ran to block her but the blonde grabbed their shoulders and pushed the behind her and they hit the ground and when she turned her head they were running down the hall. Artemis set her sight on another girl. She had so many colors in her hair Artemis thought she was hallucinating. The said girl turned to see Artemis and smirked. "Another one I see now I don't think we've met I'm I-"

The girl was on the floor holding her face with wide eyes. She stood up "Oh you're gonna regret that!" She screamed and threw a fist at Artemis only to have her fist grabbed and pushed back causing her to lose balance and fall on her ass. "You know what? Fine! I'm not in the mood right now!" she huffed and walked off, well it was more of a sprint than a walk.

The blonde fell on her knees beside Zatanna and roughly grabbed her chin and quickly picked it up. She saw a bloody nose and a split lip. Artemis growled and stood up before grabbing Zatanna's arm and quickly pulling her up. "We're going home." the magician simply nodded and led the way to the doors. Artemis kicked the doors open still clearly pissed off. Her arm was around Zatanna's shoulder. Everyone looked their way and Artemis just shot them a glare and shook her head in anger and shame.

The two got on her motorcycle and much to Zatanna's surprise they didn't stop at the cave but at a small cafe. Zatanna reluctantly got off and followed the archer into the cafe. They sat down at an empty booth and just stared at each other waiting for the other to say something.

"So-" Zatanna started but was interrupted by Artemis "Don't act like nothing happened Zatanna, we both know very much that something happened." she growled out gesturing to her face. Zatanna simply nodded and sighed grabbing a tissue and applying pressure to her nose. "So are you-"

"Fine." the magician quickly answered licking her lips before flinching at her horrible mistake. Zatanna was looking around the cafe to find something that would distract her. Artemis though wasn't having any of it. "Zatanna, you need to tell me what happened." the raven haired girl looked back at her and raised and eyebrow. As if she didn't know. Artemis could tell by this that it had gone on before and Zatanna had simply hid it from everyone.

A waitress came up with a large smile and cheerfully asked them what they wanted. Zatanna returned the smile and asked for milk and a muffin. While Artemis just asked for coffee and a muffin the waitress walked off skipping with each step as she went to the kitchen. "She reminds me on M'gann." Zatanna pointed out a small crack in her voice. Artemis simply hummed.

"Zatanna..." The blonde was keeping herself from yelling at the girl. Zatanna turned her head once again and smiled. "Arty..." she said imitating her friends voice. "Zatanna, I'm serious. I want to know what happened." The magician sighed and looked down as if she had finally given up "What exactly do you want to know?" she finally said in a hushed voice. "How long has it been happening?". She opened her mouth to reply but the waitress came back with all her cheerful glory. "I got your food! Enjoy!" she handed them out and the two thanked her. Zatanna then began eating and Artemis just stared at her waiting for an answer.

After awhile she couldn't take it anymore. The blonde stood up quickly and banged her hand on her table. "HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN GOING ON!" Everyone stared at them Zatanna dropped the muffin and stared into Artemis' gray eyes. "Artemis, your making people stare." she said as if the blonde was a child. "GOD DAMMIT ZATANNA! I WANT TO KNOW HOW LONG THEY'VE BEEN DOING THAT TO YOU!" Zatanna's eyes widened and she truthfully looked scared. Artemis groaned and grabbed her arm forcing her out of the cafe much to Zatanna's dismay.

"Now." she said more calmly. "How. Long." Zatanna's lipped thinned and she blew a strand piece of hair out of her face as she exhaled. "I-I can't remember a time when it didn't happen." Artemis' eyebrows furrowed. "God dammit. Me and you...we are going to that girls house and beating the shit out of her." Artemis stated and turned to head back to the motorcycle, but Zatanna grabbed her shoulder stopping her.

"What." the archer growled out. "I could've beaten them up a long damn time ago Artemis." she said quietly and the blonde turned and raised an eyebrow. "You're right." she put her hands on her hips. "but that's not what I want to know. I want to now why you didn't tell us." Zatanna gulped and took a hesitant step back. "Zatanna just tell me."

"I-I didn't want you guys to get caught up in my problems. You have enough to deal with and-and I wanted to handle it on my own but those girls they just, they are such bitches Artemis! I try to tell them off and I just get punched or slapped or kicked or my head slammed into a locker! I really tried to fight back I did! I was going to tell you the night we found that ghost girl but...I just-I didn't..." Before she knew it she was pulled into a hug.

"Zatanna, please tell me about this stuff. Please." Artemis' voice cracked as she squeezed Zatanna. The magician's lip quivered as a stray tear fell from her face. "She lives pretty close to the cave." Zatanna had a happy tone in her voice even though a few tears were falling down her face. Artemis wiped Zatanna's tears off and smiled as she let go of the girl. "Let's go." she said with a laugh and Zatanna's smile grew a million times.

"Can't wait."
