Chapter One: Little Things

Little things By Cobbie Caillat

The little things, you do to me are
Taking me over, I wanna show ya
Everything inside of me
Like a nervous heart that, is crazy beating
My feet are stuck here, against the pavement
I wanna break free, I wanna make it
Closer to your eyes, get your attention
Before you pass me by

He hated her, or so he thought. He shouldn't feel this way, he shouldn't. Its been a week when he started acting like this. He knew that he was slipping away. He kept on thinking how different Artemis is for the past few days. It's like, his perspective of her,changed. He first felt weird when he was looking at her on the training room with Dinah. He thought she moved with grace,with passion,and with elegance. She looked good. And Roy Harper wouldn't allow himself to think that Artemis looks good.

A few moments after their training session with Dinah, Roy went to the kitchen to grab some juice. Then, he felt footsteps behind him. He glanced through his shoulder to see a blonde archer,walking towards him. He frowned.
"Hello RA." She said,with her usual husky tone.
"What are you doing here?" He asked as he closed the door in the fridge.
She shrugged. "I don't know. What do you usually do in a kitchen?" She asked sarcastically.
"Do tell me,replacement." He said,with a mocking tone.
She just rolled her eyes.
Then,he felt something strange. He looked at Artemis, she looked good. He could tell that she just showered. He could smell her lavender scent,and her hair falls perfectly down. Her olive tan did suit her.
"Hello? Earth to Roy Harper?" She asked as she snapped her fingers on his face.
Roy didn't realized how close Artemis was.
"Do you mind?I can't use the fridge if you're blocking it,Harper." She said harshly.
"Here,you could have mine." He said as he gave Artemis his juice box and quickly turned away.
He left Artemis perplexed,but, there was a smile on her face when she was holding the juice box. It was nice and odd of Roy to give his juice to her and walk away like that. But,it was better than the fighting and shouting and arguing they always have. That thought made her smile. But wait, what she thinking of Roy Harper and smiling at the same time? Roy Harper? The man who didn't trust her,the one who always looked down on her, the one who called her replacement.
Then,enter boy wonder.
"Hey,Arty,what's wrong?" He said as he entered the kitchen,with his sunglasses on.
"Oh,what? , I was just thinking." She quickly replied in the sudden realization that her team mate asked her a question.
Robin gave her a questioning look,but he just shrugged.

A few days later, Batman gave them a break. Artemis couldn't believe it, the best of all, he told them to 'unwind' a little bit, since their mission against Joker last night consist of explosives,chasing,and more explosives. It was a night of running,and avoiding bombs and the Joker's poisonous laughing gas, but thanks to team effort they managed to catch the Joker. Batman was proud that the 'kids' haven't actually caused too much trouble and damage for one night, and it was a Friday night too. So, as a token of gratitude, he gave them to spend the weekdays off, to a private beach resort that the Wayne Company was a partner of. Once in a while, they needed a break, and Artemis and the team couldn't agree more.

M'ggan as her usual,happy-go-lucky self, dragged Artemis to go shopping for a bikini or bathing suit for the weekend, since they wouldn't be going to the resort until twelve. She doesn't plan on going to, but M'ggan pleaded her to, she couldn't say no to her puppy dog eyes, but she knew M'ggan would just annoy her until she says yes.
As M'ggan enthusiastically choose some bikini, she couldn't help but smile to herself, she could see that her friend is enjoying her time here at earth,and she liked that. Having company with another girl. Then, she remembered her sister Jade,they used to do this things together but now..

"Artemis, look! Try this!" M'ggan called her and showed her a yellow two-pieced-bikini. S
She smiled and walks towards M'ggan.

Roy didn't knew why he's packing his back, technically he wasn't invited, he wasn't part of the team, he told them, didn't he? But, he realized, he fights alongside with them, go to missions with them, spar with them, he wanted to deny it, but it looks like that he is part of this team. Robin called him earlier if he wanted to spend the weekend with them in the beach. He wanted to say no. But,when he asked who was coming, which he already knew everyone will, when Robin mentioned Artemis name, he could feel his heart skipped a beat, he wanted to see her again. And, that's why he is packing his bag for the weekend.

He was about to go out in his apartment with his shoulder bag, when he heard someone at the door. "Roy? Are you home?" Ollie asked.

He opened the door, and he saw his old mentor with his civilian clothes on. "Hey there buddy. Going somewhere?" He asked.
"Obviously." He said, closing his eyes,and locking the door.

"Hey, if you want to we could patrol over this weekend, you know, just like the old times." Ollie said, smiling.

He sighed. "No, and I am going away for the weekend, Dick invited me to go with them to the beach." He said, walking away.
"Can I come?" His old mentor asked.

He frowned. "No, it's our only chance to get away from the old people." He said as he started walking away."
Well, have fun then!" Ollie called out. "Wait, did he just said?"

They all agreed to meet in the cave. As Roy arrived, everyone was already there. Duh, they practically lived there. Except for Wally and Artemis. Artemis, he looked at her, she was wearing a green muscle tee that shows off her back and a pair of white shorts, and sandals, it was simple, but she looked hot. Roy mentally cursed himself for looking at her.

Robin cleared his throat. M'ggan giggled at Wally was laughing. Connor and Kadlur kept quiet,and Artemis was giving him a look. Wally went over him,still laughing,and patted his shoulder.

"Don't drool over man." He laughed. Robin couldn't help,and he was bursting out too.

Artemis rolled her eyes. "Let's just go already." She said as she walked passed Roy. He could feel his heart beat again, and the smell of lavender from her hair lingered on his nose. He sighed. He knew he was slipping, and now, it's even worst. He was falling.

(back up, back up) take another chance,
Don't you (mess up, mess up) I don't wanna lose you
(wake up, wake up) this ain't just a thing that you
(give up, give up) don't you say that I'd be
Better off better off, sleeping by myself and wondering
If I'm better off better off, with out you boy

"Just my luck." Artemis thought to herself. At the van, she was paired up with Roy. Since Robin was with Wally on the 1st row, M'ggan and Connor on the second, and she was stuck with Roy on the back. Kaldur has the luckiest part, he was on the passenger's seat with the driver. She was looking by the window,when she saw Roy at the reflection staring at her.
"What?" She asked, annoyed.

"Nothing." He quickly said, looking away.

She sighed. Deep down, she knew that something was up. The Roy Harper she knew wouldn't want to sit beside her without arguing or forcing Wally to sit beside her. He was lying. And she wants to know why.

"Something's up. So spill." She said.

Roy, being stubborn as he is, still not looking at her. She sighed.
"Look, I know you don't like me, but, hey, since we're stuck together for an hour of driving, why not make it fun,shall we?" She said, trying to be more, well, less annoyed.

He couldn't say it. I mean, who could? He was happy that he had the chance to sit next to her, but, on Artemis side, he could see that she wasn't enjoying his company.

"I'm trying.." He muttered,keeping his voice low.
She looked at him. "Trying what?" She asked, her voice neutral.

"Trying to know you,replacement."He said,giving her a half-hearted smile.

She smiled at him too. Making him a little relieved.
"I'm trying too." She admitted.

It was a long ride, as Artemis hate to admit it, she was starting to like the Roy Harper who didn't accused her, or insulted her. Those are the little things in life that she was thankful for.
