Okay, so this is my first fic and I'm still contemplating whether this should be multi chapter or a one-shot. Sooo, yeah, enjoy the story!

Artemis: Aren't you forgetting something?

Me: No, I'm not….oh,well. You can say it.

Artemis: She doesn't own squat.

Artemis sighed for the umpteenth time that night. She couldn't do this anymore. Hiding behind him had done nothing but endanger both of them. She slung her duffel bag over her shoulder and looked over at the peacefully sleeping speedster. Artemis really didn't want to leave. But she'd stayed too long and caused too much trouble. The Shadows knew that she had been straying at first, but when she interfered with The Fog and Dr. Roquette, it was the last straw. So, things started happening. Things that, ultimately, put her friends in more danger than they could even comprehend. The team thought that the Shadows were just being extremely active, but Artemis knew better. The Shadows wanted her back, and there was nothing she or the League could do to stop it.

She softly pressed her lips to Wally's. He didn't even move. 'For once, his ability to sleep through anything comes in handy.' Artemis knew if he had awoken, he would have tried to stop her. Taking a small piece of paper out of her pocket, she unfolded it and laid it down on the pillow adjacent to his. It was time that he, well, all of them knew her secrets. Artemis slipped out of their room and creeped down the hall. No one was awake at the cave. Or so she thought.

"Where ya going, Arty?" a familiar voice asked. She froze, but then relaxed upon recognition.

'Oh, haha, bats being nocturnal.' she thought. "It's Artemis. You of all people should know that, Dick. And it's none of your business."

The Boy Wonder's eyes widened behind his sunglasses. "How'd you find out?" He said through clenched teeth. Batman had told him to protect his identity at all costs and somehow GA's niece had found out? He was definitely not feeling the aster.

"Found out? More like figured out. There's only one short, black haired kid I know who's dumb enough to take a picture of me off guard AND has enough ninja skills to get away with it." She started walking toward the Zeta tubes. "Oh, and tell Bruce I said thanks for the scholarship."

'Artemis, B-07' rang through the cave for the last time.

Wally groggily rolled over, expecting a blonde archer, not a sheet of paper. He immediately sat up, snatching the paper off of the pillow. His green eyes steadily grew wider as he read. Wally threw on some clothes and sped down the hall to the kitchen. "Good morning, Wally!" Megan's called from the stove.

"Guys, Artemis is gone."

"What do you mean she's gone?" Megan asked.

"I mean she took off and left this letter?" he held up the paper in his hand.

Kaldur inquired, "What does the letter say? I do not believe Artemis would have left without good cause."

"She said she's sorry…for lying to us"

"Lying about what?" Conner folded his arms across his chest. Robin looked down at his plate of food, knowing exactly what the answer was. Kaldur closed his eyes praying they would not overreact.

"S-she isn't really Green Arrow's niece." Wally stuttered. Connor's face shifted from confusion to anger. Meanwhile, Megan looked like she was on the verge of tears. "And she said there's more, but we have to ask Batman."

"Ask me what?"
