Lt. Artemis Crock rushed through the hallways of Fort Riley Military Base, occasionally getting a pat on the back coupled with 'today's the day' from her fellow soldiers
She walked up to the door to Captain Oliver Queen's office and knocked
"Enter." Said the voice inside
Artemis walked in, saluting her commanding officer
"Lt. Crock," said Captain Queen, checking his watch "Precisely on time, as always."
"You know me sir, I like precision." Said Artemis
"Take a seat." Said Captain Queen
Artemis sat down while the captain pulled out a dossier
"Lt. Artemis Crock signed up for SEAL training and made top of her class in 2 short months, expert marksmen and martial artist." Said Captain Queen "Now here's what the dossier doesn't say. You're one of the toughest troops to ever walk into my office, no the toughest troop, your will is unmatched. When you first walked into SEAL training I'll admit I had my doubts, as did everyone, but you proved us wrong and earned every bit of respect we give you, and more, even if some people don't like to admit it…"
Then there was a knock at the door
"Enter." Said Captain Queen
Lt. Roy Harper walked in and saluted
"Hey Roy, we were just talking about you." Said Artemis with a scowl
"That's Lt. Harper to you, Crock." Said Roy
Artemis was about to snap back before Captain Queen intervened
"That's enough, both of you. Lt. Harper wait outside until I call you in." said Captain Queen
"Yes sir." Roy saluted then left to room, being sure to glare at Artemis on the way out
"As I was saying," said Captain Queen "What it also doesn't say on the dossier is how dedicated and strong you are in everything you do, you're reflexes are sharp, your mind sharper, and your skills unmatched. It does however say, as of right now, you passed. Congratulations Lt. Artemis Crock, you're a SEAL."
Artemis' excitement was practically glowing off of her but she kept her composure
"Thank you, sir!" she said
"Don't thank me, you earned this. As both your commanding officer and your friend, I'm very proud of you."
He pulled a paper out of his desk and handed it to her
"Here are your new orders and your new boss, now go get some extra training in then some rest, you'll need it for tomorrow. Dismissed."
Artemis stood up and saluted, then walked out
"Oh and send Lt. Harper in on your way out." Said Captain Oliver
"Yes sir." Said Artemis
Artemis stepped out and turned to Roy
"Hey Harper, he's ready for you." She said
They glared at each other as Roy stepped in, after the door was closed she waited to the side, she had to see his expression
After a few minuets Roy stepped out, anger was clear on his face
"Aww, did someone not make the cut?" taunted Artemis
"Not sure what you're so happy about, it's not like you did!" growled Roy
"Actually," said Artemis, holding up her papers. Roy stared at the papers dumbfounded, and Artemis loved the look on his face. His archenemy made the cut and he didn't while through all of training he would always act sexist to her even after she had proved herself, talk about a blow to his self-esteem
"Now if you'll excuse me, I want to get some training in before I'm sent off, cya later Lt. Harper." Said Artemis
"Screw you, Crock." Grumbled Roy as she walked away
Artemis' alarm woke her up at 0400
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Artemis' alarm woke her up at 0400
She quickly got out of her bunk bed, trying not to wake anyone else up, they didn't have the same orders so were allowed to sleep longer and Artemis knew they needed their sleep
She quickly got dressed and made herself presentable before walking out of the bath room and into the central hallways
Soldiers of almost every rank saluted her as she passed; admiration and respect clear on their faces. She knew why they respected her so much, she had earned it. Artemis Crock was the first female Navy SEAL in military history, and she was loving it.
She stepped into the courtyard and headed to the helipad where Captain Queen was already waiting
On the way, she saw Roy walking towards a helicopter
"Where are you off to, Harper?" she said with a smirk, she probably wasn't going to let him live this down for a long time
"Vietnam, infiltrating a camp." Said Roy, grinding his teeth
"Hmm, seems a little bland to me, but I guess every has their own standards."
Roy glared at her, then smirked
"I guess it would be for you, you're too used to scenarios where certain fathers paralyze their wives then leaves their daughter to die with all her limbs broken."
Artemis glared at him intensely and he knew he struck a nerve
"You don't get to talk about my family!" she growled
"Or what?" smirked Roy
"Fuck! You!" She growled then walked to the landing pad, where Captain Queen was waiting
"Lt. Crock." Said Commander Queen
"Sir." Said Artemis, saluting
They stood side-by-side, waiting for the helicopter that would take her to her new life, and away from her old one
"Next stop, SEAL HQ, a.k.a. The Island
When they made it to The Island Artemis understood why it was called that. It was literally an island in the middle of the pacific ocean, the entire base was inside a mountain. When they got closer Artemis was sure they were about to crash, but then giant hanger doors opened in the side of it
"Fancy, huh?" said Oliver, Artemis nodded her head
As soon as the both of them were on the ground the pilot took off
"They've known that they were getting a new member for a pretty long time, I'm sure they're just dying to meet you." Said Oliver
"I'm dying to meet them, sir." Said Artemis confidently
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
"So the new guys finally joining." Said Conner, punching a dummy
"Betcha I already know who it is." Said Wally, sharpening the tip of a dart
"And who would that be?" said Robin, also sharpening a dart
"Roy, obviously." Said Wally
"You're only saying that cause you miss him." Said Robin
"Well we haven't heard from him in a long time, and he's the best marksmen like, ever. Of course he'll make the cut." Said Wally "I mean, who else could?"
"So, whoever looses gives their next lunch to the other." Said Robin
"You're on." Said Wally, aiming at the board
Every dart it the first ring
"Top that, birdie." Said Wally
"Just wait." Said Robin, aiming
2 hit the first ring and the third hit the bulls-eye
"And that's how the cookie crumbles." Snickered Robin
"Aw man, you know I need my food!" said Wally
Then 3 darts went at the dart, all hit the bull's-eye
"I win, so what was the bet?" said a female at the door
All eyes turned to see her
"Who are…" Wally began until Captain Oliver and Admiral Wayne walked in
"Officer on deck!" shouted Robin, everyone stepping into a salute
"At ease." Said Captain Oliver, everyone relaxing "So as you know, this team is getting a new member."
"So, when's he getting here? And who's this?" Said Wally, taking a drink of his water
"Lt. Artemis Crock, your new teammate." Said Artemis
Wally choked on the water and it fell out of his mouth and all over the floor
"Y-you're our new teammate?" said Wally "Come on sir, you have to be joking!"
"I never joke." Said Admiral Wayne, shutting Wally up "You're all going to be spending a lot of time together, get acquainted in the shooting range. And where is Commmander Ahm and Advisor Zatara?"
"Commander Ahm is already in the shooting range, Advisor Zatara is running some calibrations on the system computers." Said Robin
"Ok, Sergeant Kent make sure she makes it to the shooting range." Said Admiral Wayne, then he and the Captain left
Conner left to get Zatanna, while everyone else went to go meet Artemis
"So…you're the newbie." Said Robin, who extended his hand "Private 2nd Class Richard Grayson, but my friends call me Robin. That guy who left was Sergeant Conner Kent and this is Private 1st Class Wally West."
"Your name is Wally?" chuckled Artemis
"Yeah, it is." growled Wally, his hostility taking Artemis by surprise
"Don't mind him, he's just upset cause you're here instead of Roy." Robin assured her
"Wait, Roy as in Lt. Roy Harper?" said Artemis
"Yeah, ya know him?" said Robin
"That sexist bastard was a pain in my ass through all of SEAL training!" said Artemis
"Hey, no one talks bad about my friends!" yelled Wally
"He's your friend? I am so sorry for you, he must annoy you more than he does me." Said Artemis
Wally was about to snap at her before a voice rang over the intercom
"If you're done bickering like a couple of teenagers, the shooting ranges, now!" Admiral Wayne's voice rang over the intercom
None of them wanted to upset that voice, so they all speed walked to the shooting range, Wally and Artemis taking every chance they could to glare at each other
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
A man stood in the viewing room of an operation, taking careful notes
"Any progress." Said another man who entered
"Close, we've almost found a way to implant the chip without killing the subject. It's not the operation itself that kills them, it's how rapidly the effects take place, their bodies can't handle it."
"Have you tried easing them into it."
"That's what we're testing now, a chip that will start making changes slowly, so that the system can adapt to the mutation."
"Alert me immediately after you make progress."
"Yes sir."

A/N—And that's my story, hope you like the idea of them being in the SEALs, I just saw Act of Valor, good movie. Tell me if the characters are OOC, but remember they are in the military so their personalities will have to be at least a little different. I hope I'm getting the ranks right, but I'm not a military expert. I also hope that I got it right on how Artemis became a SEAL, but the only way I could know that would be to become a SEAL and I'm just a random civilian with a computer. Anyway, down below is a list of who is what rank
Artemis Crock: Luitenenent
Wally West: Private
Richard (Robin) Grayson: Private 1st Class
Conner Kent: Sergeant
Kaldur Ahm: Commander
Oliver Queen: Captain
Bruce Wayne: Admiral
Zatanna Zatara: Advisor (I know that's not a real rank, but that's the role she plays)
