A/N: Yes, I have seen the leaked episodes of the last 2 episodes and this is MY response to it, however the story starts right after Insecurities. For the most part it will follow CANON, but I want to change it a little to what I felt would have been better since I feel like the last 2 episodes were rushed. Afterwards, I will go into my own plot and ignore the 2nd season, though expect plenty of one-shots when that comes out.
Ch. 1- Frustration
"I should have known!" Wally growled as he punched the wall. He immediately regretted it and shook the pain off as he placed the tracker on his souvenir shelf. He didn't know why, but he had finally started warming up to Artemis, but then she goes and does the worst thing he could think of. He never imagined that she would have been so insecure that she'd jeopardized the mission. It really hurt him, but honestly, it confused him as well. Why was he feeling so strongly about this? His thoughts were interrupted by someone at the door.
"What the heck man?" Robin said from the door. "Aqualad told Batman about the mission and now he's taking her to somewhere and won't even tell ME the details. Dude, what happened?"
"Artemis insisted on coming with us because Red Arrow was, then she made us go on a wild goose chase so she could track down sports master and Cheshire herself because of how insecure she is now that Roy's joined the team." Wally explained quickly, too angry to notice the strange look on Robin's face.
"Shit." Robin muttered, pacing the room.
"What?" Kid Flash asked him.
"I think I know what's going on." Robin said. "I need to go." he rushed out the door and Wally easily kept up with him.
"Robin!" miss Martian exclaimed when she saw him. "We just saw batman leave with Artemis, what's going on?"
"I think I know, but I can't tell you." Robin repeated.
"Why can't you tell is dude?" KF asked frustrated.
"I can't, ok." Robin sighed. "I can't tell you guys things about her that she's not ready for you to know. I only know because I live with Batman and I know the importance of private information."
"Well, all we know is that Batman did not say anything after I informed him of the mission, he simply told Artemis to come with him and left." Aqualad said.
"Robin, can you tell us whether or not she's in trouble?" Zantana asked. The rest of the team turned to her, remembering that she was the closest to the archer.
"Of course she's in trouble." Robin scoffed. "I just want to know what the trouble is."
"Well maybe this means she's the mole." Red Arrow said. "Her behavior was almost too friendly with Cheshire."
"Dude, she's not the mole." Robin snapped. "You're only here because you got accepted into the league and you have to set a good example."
"You were accepted into the league?"Aqualad asked. "And you did not tell us this?"
"I was going to, but the mission came up." Red Arrow replied. "Then all this, it just never came up."
"Fine," Wally said, "But that doesn't explain Artemis. I'm starting to agree with Red Arrow, she might just be the mole."
"She's not the mole!" Zantana snapped. "If she was, she could have given you all up much sooner."
"Zantana makes a good point." Aqualad said.
"Wait." KF said sadly. "There was something I never told you guys because I didn't think it was important."
"What is it?" Superboy asked. He had previously been quiet while absorbing all the information.
"When we lost our memories, Artemis and I were together and she thought that it was a test and she was supposed to kill me." Wally said quickly.
"And you never mentioned that?" Red Arrow asked furiously.
"That doesn't matter, trust me." robin said.
"Fine, we will leave it for now," Aqualad said. "But we will need information soon."
"Agreed." Robin nodded.
"Well, I'm starving." Wally muttered. "Later." and he dashed out the Zeta tubes.
"I'm going too." Robin said, going through right after him.
"Did they go to the same location?" Superboy asked.
"They're friends outside of the whole super hero thing." Red Arrow shrugged. "Like Kaldur and I. We use to hang out during down times."
"That makes since." Miss Martian said. "Um, dinner anyone?"
"I'll help you cook." Zantana smiled weakly.

"Oliver! Dinah!" Batman called to the two in Green Arrow's headquarters.
"Oh, hey Batman." Oliver said, wearing a suit as he came to see what was going on. Black Canary came out in an evening gown, and it was obvious they were about to go out on a date.
"You actually let her go on that damned mission!" Batman scowled at Green Arrow.
"Well she insisted..." Green Arrow started, but was silenced by Bat's glare.
"Of course she insisted." Batman glowered. "But you should have known she'd want vengeance. That's why you adopt Red Arrow and I adopted Robin, to help them with it. But just letting her go off? That was plain reckless."
"That bad, huh?" Oliver said trying some humor, but saw it fail.
"I'm putting an end to this now." Batman said, turning to Artemis. "You should have known better. Much better."
Artemis hadn't said a word since Wally had yelled at her, and she simply bowed her head in response. She hated herself right now and felt horrible.
"But, I know you feel guilty about it and learned from you're actions." Batman continued. "Consider yourself on probation."
"What do you mean?" Black Canary asked.
"She's not to do any mission concerning Cheshire or Sportsmaster until she tells the team her connection with them."
"What?" Artemis finally spoke up.
"You heard me." batman said. "It's a compromise to the team, and they need to know."
"Fine." Artemis said dejectedly. She left and went back to her home to finally go to bed.
"Hey baby girl." she jumped at the sound of her father's voice.
"Dad!" Artemis jumped back in shock. "What are you doing here?"
"I came for you, baby." He said as lovingly as he could manage.
"Leave. Now." She glared.
"Not before we talk." (end scene of Insecurities).
