"The Letter"

It was a Thursday in October- the week before Halloween and it was freezing outside. The leaves had long since lost their green color and were an array of burnt oranges, reds, and yellows littered across front lawns, the sidewalks, and the curbs of the street. Wally walked through the front door and shivered as he mentally thanked God that he was finally indoors. The door slammed shut behind him, the sound echoing off the walls of the front hallway and the tall ceiling that stretched up towards the second level of his home. It was silent, the only sounds coming from the fish tank motor in the living room and the air vents circulating heat through the house.

It had been an extremely long day and all the freckled-face redhead wanted to do was kick of his shoes, loosen his tie, grab a Bud Lite from the fridge, and spend the next hour or so watching a crappy film on the living room flat screen. He had just been let out of a meeting with a publisher who had once again shot down his latest novel. His editor and him had gone over Wally's draft at least a dozen times the night before and were sure they had the entire piece polished out for their meeting. Once again, Wally's crime novel had been rejected and now he was back to making changes again.

"What a drag." He groaned up towards the ceiling before looking down at the floor where the day's mail had fallen through the mail slot. There was a newspaper in a plastic orange bag that he'd dropped on the floor beside several envelops on the rug Artemis had bought at a garage sale earlier that year. He crouched down and scooped the items up, looking over the various Amren and credit card bills with either his or Artemis's names stamped at the top. He paused his skimming when his fingers brushed across the smooth surface of a green envelope.

He raised an eyebrow as he moved to set his keys in the ceramic dish on the side table with the bills before examining the envelope. There was a stamp with an eagle on it in the upper right hand corner and the return address was in Colorado. Artemis's name was written in chicken scratch on the center of the envelope in a dull blue ink, a small hole at the end of the lower case S where the tip had poked through the paper. Curiosity overcoming him, Wally slid his index finger under the lip and pried the envelope open before pulling the letter out.

His eyes scanned over the words and slowly came to a stop as he recognized the name of the sender. He stiffened, his breath catching in his throat as his mind began running over all the possibilities as to why this letter had been delivered to his home. His thoughts turned to his cellphone wedged in his back pocket. Artemis had left the social services office early, haven taken a half day to go shopping with Zatanna and her sister. Surely she wouldn't mind learning of this letter?

Biting his bottom lip, Wally slid the letter back into the envelope and tucked it into the jacket of his midnight blue blazer before heading into the kitchen to grab a can of beer.


The mall was extremely busy for being a weekday. There were hundreds of people moving in and out of the boutiques and other stores as they purchased whatever happened to catch their eye. One would think that it was the holiday season with all the business store owners were getting.

Jade stared into the jewelry case at Marina's Jewelry Shop as she eyed a silver and pink charm bracelet. The bracelet was on sale for forty dollars and had circus animal charms hanging from it. A frown wormed its way onto the twenty-six-year old's lips as she finished doing math in her head. After buying three pairs of shoes from Footlocker, she only had ten dollars left that she would undoubtedly need for gas. Budgeting was starting to become a necessity and she couldn't help but to be a little bummed out.

"Earth to Jade." A humored voice called out to her, pulling her from her thoughts. Jade looked up and saw her younger sister Artemis standing beside her with an amused look on her face. "What is so interesting in that case?"

Jade smiled as she pointed at the charm bracelet. "That bracelet. I think Lian would love to get it for her birthday in a few weeks."

Artemis smiled as her thoughts turned to the ten-year-old redhead. Lian had grown so much in the seven years since Artemis first met her and she couldn't be more proud of the fifth grader. She was earning Straight-As in school, she was on the little league soccer and softball teams, and she was even taking gymnastics lessons. She admired her mother and aunt for all their athletic accomplishments growing up and she was eager to become an "athletic Crock" just like them.

"I'm sure she'd love it Jade. You should get it for her."

"I can't." Jade said as the frown returned to her face. "I spent the rest of my money on shoes for the kids and I don't have enough. The rent is due at the end of the week, so I can't chip into my savings to come up with the rest of the money. Maybe I could put it on layaway and get it for Christmas instead?"

Artemis frowned before setting her few shopping bags down on the floor and reaching into her purse to fish out her wallet. Jade started to shake her head in protest as Artemis pulled out a fifty-dollar bill and handed it to her.

"Artemis, I don't want your money."

"Jade, just take it. Come on. I know you hate handouts, but you really want that bracelet and I am willing to loan you the cash to get it."

Jade pushed her sister's hand away, a stern look on her face; but Artemis grabbed her sister's hand and shoved the wrinkled bill into Jade's palm as an even sterner look crossed her face.

"Jade, take the money and buy that bracelet. Come on; after all the years I spent living with you rent free while you took care of me and Lian it's the least I can do. I will never be able to repay you for all you've done for me. Let's just call this a start, okay?"

Jade looked at her sister and smiled before giving her a quick hug and moving to find a store clerk. Artemis smiled to herself before picking up her bags and heading over to sit on one of the metal benches between the jewelry shop and the appliance store. She watched as Jade spoke with the salesperson and how happy her sister must have been to be able get her daughter the gift she wanted. Her smile then faded as her eyes traveled to her sister's swollen stomach. Jade was six months pregnant with her fourth child- a shock to her elder sister; and the pregnancy couldn't have happened at a worse time.

The metals factory where Roy had been working had gone out of business nearly a year ago and Roy was left unemployed. He had been struggling to find a job since and the entire situation was putting a strain on their family, not to mention their relationship. Jade had taken up a second job waitressing third shifts at a local diner when she wasn't managing pension plans with her state job and she was tired all the time. Roy was now a stay-at-home dad who felt like a failure not being able to support his wife and family; so instead of trying harder to make changes in his life, he spent most of his days in a drunken stupor with bottles of cheap brandy and rum as his only comfort.

Aside from looking after Lian and their second child Halen, the couple also had a three-year-old son named Tristin who, unlike his elder two siblings, was the spitting image of his mother- hair black like the wings of a raven and eyes dark like charcoal. Having three kids and not enough money to support them was stressful; and with another baby on the way, things were continuing to tumble downhill.

Artemis smiled as Jade turned away from the counter with an even brighter smile on her face as she walked towards her sister carrying her bags of shoes and a small black velvet box with the charm bracelet inside.

"She's going to love this Artemis." Jade said as she popped the lid open and poked at the pink elephant charm. "Thank you so much."

"There you guys are!" a cheerful voice came from a few feet away. Jade and Artemis looked up as Zatanna approached holding a lot of bags and a pumpkin spice latte from the Starbucks in the food court. "You guys have got to see the dress I picked out for my date with Sean tonight. He's going to love it!"

Zatanna sat her bags down before pulling a royal blue baby doll style dress out of the largest bag in her possession. The skirt of the dress was dusted with silver sparkles that shimmered whenever the overhead fluorescents shone on them; and both Jade and Artemis knew it was going to look stunning on their raven-haired friend.

"I see someone's trying to impress their new beau." Jade said with a knowing smile as Artemis nodded in agreement. "You're going to leave him breathless Zee."

"That's the plan." Zatanna admitted with a laugh. "I was thinking I could wear it with the silver heels I wore to Artemis and Wally's wedding. I've only worn them a few times since then, so they aren't scuffed or worn out. Oh Jade, could I borrow those silver chain earrings you got for Christmas last year from Megan? They would look perfect with the necklace I just bought last week, don't you think Artemis?"

Artemis laughed at Zatanna's fashion antics as she tightened her ponytail holder that was keeping her back-length blonde hair up in a high ponytail. "Zatanna, we've been over this before. I am not the person to ask for fashion advice. I don't care about that."

Zatanna eyed the chocolate brown sweats with the pink stripe on the side that Artemis was wearing with a matching pink tank top- typical clothing that the former archer usually wears when she isn't at work.

"Maybe we should find you something sexy to wear too while we're here Artemis." Zatanna said as she clapped her hands together. "I'm sure Wally would find you absolutely ravishing in a green off-shoulder sheath!"

"Thanks, but no thanks Zee." Artemis said as her friend took a huge sip of her latte. "I don't need a fancy dress to go out on a date with my husband. Besides, Wally and I don't care too much about 'storybook romance' dates. The perfect evening for us is spent on our black sectional in sweats or PJs with Chinese takeout while playing Black Ops or watching a bad horror flick. As long as we're spending time together, we don't care what we're wearing or doing."

"You guys are too cute for words." Jade said with a laugh as she adjusted the bags in her arms.

Zatanna took another huge sip from her latte before pausing suddenly and looking over Artemis's shoulder. The blonde raised an eyebrow before turning around and freezing as she spied Dick Grayson on several of the mounted flat screens displayed in the electronics shop window. Zatanna approached the window as Jade and Artemis exchanged a glance and followed after her.

Dick was standing on the red carpet at the Wayne Enterprise Fall Gala Event that had taken place the night before while donning a notch lapel tuxedo in all black with a matching bowtie, his infamous aviators on his face. The reporter of the event was going on and on about what a turnout there was for the event as Dick smoothly reached up and removed his aviators, placing them inside the jacket of his blazer and showing off his cerulean blue eyes and flashing a smile for the paparazzi.

"Someone certainly isn't camera shy." Jade said as she crossed her arms over her chest. Artemis spared a worried glance towards Zatanna who had yet to take her eyes off of Dick since he'd appeared on the screen. Her eyes suddenly narrowed as someone else appeared on the carpet next to Dick. He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close to him as she rested a hand on his firm chest and leaned her head against his shoulder.

The woman was absolutely breathtaking to look at- fair skin and beautiful burgundy hair that spilled down her back and over her shoulders in waves, framing her face. She had emerald green eyes and her lips were rosy pink and she was wearing a beautiful mermaid gown of satin purple that hugged every curve of her body.

"Dick Grayson and world famous supermodel Kori Anders have been spotted a lot together recently since Wayne Enterprises hosted the Giovani Taylor Spring Fashion show this past February; and rumors have been swirling around that the two of them have secretly been dating. After his heart was broken following his horrible split from former girlfriend Zatanna Zatara, no one ever thought the heir to the Wayne Family fortune and business was ever going to be happy again; but Cupid has shot his arrow and Dick and Kori have officially confirmed their relationship status as a couple after Dick placed a searing kiss on model Starfire's lips during the gala's red carpet event!

As the reporter continued to cover her story the video footage continued to roll, showing Dick as he cupped Kori's cheek before pulling her lips to his in a passionate drawn out kiss for the cameras before pulling away and resting his forehead against hers.

Jade and Artemis jumped as the loud sound of plastic cracking reached their ears. They turned to Zatanna whose eyes were brimming with tears, her cheeks a deep crimson, as her hand closed around the center of her plastic cup and cracked it. The remnants of her latte oozed through the cracks and began to drip onto the floor forming a puddle at the girl's feet.

"Let's go Zee." Artemis said quickly as she looked around at several onlookers who had taken notice of the girl's distress. Zatanna remained glued to her spot on the floor and Jade and Artemis exchanged worried looks before Jade took the damaged cup from the girl's hand and tossed it into a nearby trashcan before going off to find some napkins. Artemis grabbed Zatanna's arm before leading her away from the appliance shop and off in the direction Jade had gone in.

"I can't believe the nerve of that reporter." Zatanna finally spoke for the first time in minutes, her voice shaking as she struggled to suppress her tears. "How dare she say that he was the victim, that he was the one who got his heart broken? I gave that asshole seven years Artemis and what do I get when those seven years of bad luck are up? Public humiliation!"

Jade quickly returned with napkins from the pretzel shop and handed them to Zatanna who hurried to wipe the foam from her latte off her hands. She then took a seat on a metal bench before burying her face in her hands and sobbing quietly, her sniffles being the only indication that she was even crying at all. Artemis frowned before taking a seat beside her and wrapping an arm around her shoulders offering her what little comfort she could.

The breakup had been hard on Zatanna in spite of the fact that she was the one who initiated it. No one was sure what had happened between the adopted Grayson and Zatanna. They had been happy- almost as happy as Wally and Artemis. Zatanna was living at Wayne Manor with him and had mapped out their future on multiple occasions to Artemis. They were going to have six kids running around the mansion someday and she was going to be a famous fashion designer while being a supportive and loving wife to Dick as he ran his adoptive father's company. They were going to travel the world and see everything it had to offer.

Zatanna was in several tabloids alongside Dick, the two of them happier than ever and everyone was waiting on him to pop the question. They had a seemingly perfect relationship with no visible cracks on its surface. So when Artemis received a phone call at four in the morning on Christmas Eve last year from a hysterical Zatanna sitting on her front porch steps wearing a night gown and a thin robe, Artemis was stunned. She could sense that something was off with the pair during their usual Christmas Eve party. There was tension radiating off the two of them and she was certain it didn't have to do with Megan's traditional Twelve Days of Christmas rendition. She tried to ask them what was wrong but they'd brush it off like it was nothing. They weren't fooling her, but it was the night before Christmas and she didn't want to spoil the mood.

Seeing Zatanna slumped on the porch in the snow, her fuzzy white slippers damp from the snow made Artemis's heart ache for her friend. She had helped her inside and into the spare bedroom of the house before throwing her mother's old quilt over her and sitting on the floor with her head leaned up against the mattress.

"Living a lie" and "how am I going to get through this" were the only sentences Artemis managed to get out of the girl; so she did what best friends do and held Zatanna's hand as she cried herself to sleep.

Things only seemed to go from bad too worse. When Artemis when to the manor and tried to confront her best friend for treating Zatanna so poorly, he had demanded she leave immediately; but Artemis as stubborn as she wasn't going to go without getting an answer. The incident turned into a screaming match and Dick shoving her out of his study before slamming the door in her face. No one had really spoken to Dick since the incident and Artemis couldn't help but to feel hurt. After all, he was her best friend and had stood by her through the abuse she suffered growing up. Why wouldn't he let her be there for him when he obviously needed someone to lean on?

"Let's go ahead and leave." Zatanna said, pulling Artemis from her thoughts. Artemis looked to her friend who was wiping the smeared mascara from her cheeks with one of the napkins Jade had brought her. "What's the point of crying over someone who doesn't give a damn about me? I have Sean now and that's all that matters."

Artemis could tell that Zatanna was lying, but she didn't press the issue any further. "Come on. Let's go."


Zatanna barely said a word the entire drive back to Jade's house; and all she did was offer a small wave when she dropped the girls off before speeding away in her blue Volkswagen Beetle. After putting her bags in the trunk of her silver range rover, Artemis followed her sister up the front steps of her townhouse. When Jade got the door open, her mouth fell open at the sight of the hall rug pushed up against the stairs in a bent up fashion. Her antique vase was lying on its side, the roses lying in a clump on the floor and the water pooling beneath the cupboard it had been on top of. The television could be heard on full volume in the living room but it did nothing to drown out the screams of Halen and Tristin who were running around through the hallways with Lian on their tails, screaming and pleading for them to stop.

Artemis spared a glance at Jade who was livid with the disarray of her home. She dropped her bags before storming into the kitchen where her three children were busy running around the table. Jade was shouting commands in a mixture of Vietnamese and English. Tristin could be heard crying while Halen babbled something about the situation not being his fault.

Artemis sighed before going into the living room where the stench of whiskey hit her nose so hard that her lungs ached. A bottle had spilled onto the carpet and was lying on its side next to another bottle that was standing upright. Roy was lying on his back passed out on the loveseat, one of his legs propped up and the other dangling over the arm rest. His right arm was draped across his chest hanging onto a third bottle of whiskey while his left hung over the edge of the couch, the remote lying beside it. His hair was a mess and needed a good watching, and he had stubble coating his chin. Artemis frowned as she walked towards him and snatched the third bottle and the remote, turning the television off and slamming the bottle down on the wooden table top. She sighed before shaking Roy by his shoulders to try and rouse him from his sleep.

"Rise and shine Whiskey Harper." She said as she started to shake him harder. "Come on, get the hell up."

Roy's eyes opened slowly, the whites blood shot and his eyeballs glassy. He was past drunk and Artemis doubted if he could remember anything after making it half way through the first bottle.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Artemis asked as she glared at him, pulling him by the sleeves of the dirtied t-shirt he was wearing as she forced him to sit upright. His eyes widened at the sudden movement and he slumped forward off the couch as he began to gag. Artemis looked around frantically for the small wastepaper basket and snatched it from beside the entertainment center before bringing it to him. She pulled him by his hair, that had grown long past his ears and to his jawline, and moved his head over the bucket as he threw up the liquor burning his stomach.

Five minutes later, he was still heaving and Artemis found herself sitting on the couch above him as she rubbed his back, her gray irises glaring down at him and the mess he'd made of Jade's evening. Jade appeared in the doorway a few minutes later with her hair pulled back in a low ponytail. She was wearing yoga pants and an oversized gray t-shirt that fit her snuggly thanks to her growing belly. She glared at Roy just as her sister was doing before walking over to stand above him. She waited politely for him to finish up before pulling the trashcan away from him and setting it to the side.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" she demanded to know. "I trust you to look after the kids when I finally have my first day off in over two months and what do you do? You drink through three bottles of cheap ass liquor and pass out on the sofa like a lazy bum and leave our children to fend for ourselves! Your sons made a mess of my house and Lian made a mess trying to cook them dinner. She's ten Roy! It's not her job to cook for her little brothers. It's yours."

"Alright." Roy groaned as he sat upright and leaned back against the couch and closed his eyes.

"No Roy, not alright." Jade continued to fume as she stomped her foot. "It is going on nine and the kids haven't had their baths, Lian and Halen don't have any of their homework done, and Tristin was running around in a full diaper that looked like it hadn't been changed since I left here five hours ago! I have put up with your bull for too long Roy and I want you to get your shit together now!"

"Alright." He slurred again as he clenched his fingers into tight fists. "I heard you."

"In case you've forgotten Roy I am pregnant with our fourth child and I am working two jobs to support you and this family. I am tired and achy and I feel sick constantly. There are days when I just want to crawl in a hole and never come out because I am so tired of being sick and tired Roy!"

"For Christ's sake Jade, shut the hell up!" Roy roared as he stood to his feet. "I heard you the first time!"

"You are going out and finding a job tomorrow and I don't care what you have to do to make it happen Roy. You are going to start pulling your weight around here and doing something other than being a useless lump on my couch all damn day!"

"What did you just say to me?" Roy growled as he grabbed Jade by her shoulders, shaking her hard. Jade's eyes widened with horror and Artemis was on her feet in no time shoving Roy away from her.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Artemis shouted in disbelief. Roy's eyes were wide as what he'd done started to sink in. His mouth began moving quickly as he tried to form words, but they seemed to be caught in his throat as he stared at a terrified Jade.

"Jade I…I'm so sorry…" he said, his words barely above a whisper.

Jade's eyes filled with tears as she shook her head and began to back out of the room. Roy called to her once more, but she quickly ran from the room. He and Artemis could hear the sound of the bedroom door slamming shut, lock clicking afterwards. Artemis turned back to Roy who looked ashamed of his actions.

"I-I don't know what came over me." He said as he looked at his shaking hands. "This isn't me Artemis. You have to…you have to believe me."

Artemis wrinkled her nose in disgust as the smell of whiskey wafted through her nostrils and made her throat clench. Roy was obviously still drunk, but that didn't excuse what he'd done. He had crossed her line with her sister and knew that there was no going back.

"You should probably stay somewhere else tonight." Artemis suggested.

"I'm not going anywhere." He said quickly, his eyes narrowing in anger. "I need to talk to Jade."

Roy tried to push his way past Artemis, but in spite of being smaller in stature, she was stronger than he was and blocked him.

"Even if you do want to talk to Jade Roy, it isn't going to be tonight. You're drunk and you wreak of booze. After you've had a shower and sobered up, I know she'll be more than willing to allow you to explain yourself. Right now, you aren't going to do anything and upset her more. You're going to remind her of him."

Roy's eyes widened for a split second before narrowing as Artemis's explanation repeated in his head. He knew who she was referring to- Lawrence Crock. Their father and the man who had tortured and abused them both physically and mentally for years. He should know better than to put his hands on her regardless of how angry he was. It would do nothing but drudge up painful memories of the past she was fighting so hard to get over- the past that he himself had helped her escape from.

"I'm gonna head over to my uncle Jim's place." He said as he scratched the back of his head. "I'm sure he won't mind me using the pullout."

Artemis nodded. "Do it Roy. Please."

She watched him as he left and didn't move until she heard the front door slam. Thankfully, Jim only lived a short two blocks away from his nephew's home; so Artemis didn't have to worry about him attempting to get behind the wheel of a car. The house was finally quiet and she could only assume that Jade had sent the children to bed. After collecting the empty liquor bottles and taking out the trash, she headed for home.


Artemis sighed as she stepped through the front door of the house. After kicking off her shoes and setting her keys in the dish on the table she headed towards the kitchen where she could hear the clanking of pots and pans. She smiled as she leaned against the doorframe and watched Wally placing dishes into the dishwasher. When she cleared her throat, he stood upright before turning to her and smiling.

"Hey there Baywatch. Doing a little washing I see."

Wally smiled before crossing the kitchen and snaking his arms around her waist. He began to feather kisses across her face- her forehead, her nose, and her cheeks before capturing her lips in a slow, drawn out kiss.

"Welcome home." He spoke. His voice warm and welcoming. "How was the shopping trip."

Artemis sighed as her thoughts turned towards the three bags she had left in the trunk. She could've gone out to get them, but it was freezing outside and she didn't feel like making a second attempt at venturing out into the fall night.

"Lousy." She admitted as Wally led her over to the table. He pulled a chair out and sat down before pulling her onto his lap. She rested her head on his shoulder and he placed his chin on her head before sighing deeply.

"What did Zatanna force you to buy this time?"

"She didn't force me to buy anything. She was actually in a pretty sour ass mood, but I don't blame her. The Fall Gala was on the display televisions in the mall and Zatanna caught a glimpse of Dick's new arm candy Kori."

"Starfire?" Wally asked, his voice sounding surprised.

"Who is Starfire?" Artemis asked.

"That's what everyone calls her in the tabloids- Starfire. She's one of the biggest models in the industry right now, hence the word star. Then there's the fact that her hair is fiery red- fire. Get it babe?"

Artemis giggled at his explanation before sitting upright and giving him a quick peck on the cheek. She then stood from his lap as she moved to finish loading dishes into the dishwasher.

"Any who, Zatanna was pretty upset so we decided to leave; but when we got to Jade's house, the house was a wreck and the kids were running around like little heathens. Meanwhile, your dear buddy Roy Harper was passed out drunk on the couch with a wrestling match on full blast while his children ran amuck in the house. He and Jade got into it and he shook her…"

Artemis grew silent and Wally could feel the distress radiating off of her. He stood to his feet slowly as his eyes travelled to the envelope holder on the small section of their counter next to the Keurig machine where the green envelope from earlier was resting at the front.

"Jade was scared when he shook her. I mean, I don't think he hurt her…but I think the action alone was enough to remind her of Lawrence, you know?"

When Wally didn't answer, Artemis raised an eyebrow and turned around. She saw him pulling a green envelope from its spot in the holder as he bit his bottom lip. Something was wrong.

"What is it?" she asked as she placed the dirtied plate in her hands down on the countertop. Wally walked towards her and handed her the envelope. She glared at him when she saw her name on the front and the flap of the envelop torn open.

"You opened my mail?" She said in disbelief.

"I know I had no right to…but Artemis, I had to. I was unsure of what the letter was about and when I saw the return address was in Colorado, I panicked."

Artemis's glare softened as she pulled the stationary paper out and unfolded it. Her eyes skimmed over the words written on the page and slowly, her facial expression changed to one of fear. Wally wrapped an arm around her waist and supported her as she leaned against him as her eyes rested on the name of the sender.

"What do you want to do?" he asked after giving her enough time to read.

Artemis took a shaky breath before looking up to meet his gaze. "We need to leave tonight."


A/N: So what was in the letter from Colorado and why does it have Wally and Artemis so scared? Well, the only way to figure out the answer to this question and any other questions that you have is to leave a review and wait patiently for the next update. See you soon guys!
