Well here's my first Young Justice fanfic. If I ever get anything wrong please let me know. :) I am open to suggestions. This contains Spitfire, Supermartian and eventual RobinxOC. Deal with it.
Disclaimer: No, I sadly do not own Young Justice. If I did the next new episode would be coming out a lot sooner than March 3rd. I do own Skiá Kyle and Shadow Tail though. Yeah me!
There's a new girl working for the League of Shadows. Shadow Tail is a clone of Cat Woman with 20% percent of her DNA being feline. She thinks she's content with being a villain but when Robin is captured she will have to make a choice: save Robin and leave her mother behind or leave him to rot and join Tigress and Cheshire among the assassins.
"Class, this is Skiá Kyle," Dick hears the history teacher introduce the girl standing in the front of the room. She has waist length black hair held back in a navy blue headband. She looked about 5' 2" and has green/blue eyes, but there's something unnatural about the way they look, Dick just can't put his finger on it. "Ms. Crock," his team mate brought her head up, "You will be showing her around." Artemis groaned quietly as the new girl nervously sat in the empty seat next to the blond archer and in front of the boy wonder. By the looks of it she heard Artemis's groan, even though she'd been at the front of the room.
"Hey, I'm Dick," he leaned forward and introduced himself, "and the ever social Ms. Crock's first name is Artemis."
"Nice to meet you both," she answered politely. She still looked nervous.
"You look a little whelmed, is something the matter?" Artemis's eyes narrowed a bit. Crap. Artemis noticed his word play. This is what I get for being nice to the new girl. He thought angrily.
"Just nervous that's all."
"Here, let me see your schedule," Artemis said, trying to put the girl at ease.

When class ended, Artemis led Skiá to their next class. Apparently Artemis had been chosen because most of their classes were the same, aside from the math class; Skiá was in the same one as Dick. They started talking and found they had a lot in common. They both lived in apartments in the seedier part of the city with just their moms and they were both in on scholarship. They made instant friends.
As they walked out into the quad for lunch, they spotted a table with only two other people at it. A red headed girl was sitting across from a boy with black hair.
"Hey Dick," Skiá said sitting next to him.
"Hey Skiá, Artemis. Babs," Dick spoke to the girl across from him, "This is Skiá Kyle and I think you know Artemis already, they're in my history class and Skiá is in my math class."
"Nice to meet you both," Barbra smiled at them.

After school, Artemis caught up to Dick. "Hey, Dick, I need to talk to you."
He turned to face her. "What's up?"
"Just wanted to see if you could help me with my calc. It's a bit to whelming for me."
"Are you sure that's a word?" The raven haired boy asked, hoping she would think she heard wrong and give up.
"I've heard you use it many times, regardless if it's a word or not," she told him. "So are you gonna tell the truth or should I enlist Wally's help?" The look on his face was priceless. His eyes went wide and he paled considerably. Wally and Artemis had started going out and were now an unstoppable team. They still fought with each other, but not normally during missions. Dick did not want them to tag team him, plus Wally already knew his ID.
Bats is soooo gonna murder me for this. He thought. "Fine you caught me. Guess it's only fair since I knew who you were before you even meet the team." He smirked at her.
"Guess the whole picture thing makes sense now," she recalled him snapping her picture on the first day of school. 'We'll laugh about this someday'. "But I'm not laughing yet," She glared at him, "Although I do find it funny that one word led me to figure out the secret identity of two of the League's most secretive heroes." It was her turn to smirk at him as the boy wonder now had a fearful look on his face.
"Do you have a death wish for me or something?" He whispered angrily at her, "Bats is gonna kill me for this."
"Master Richard," a voice called from the street where a limo was parked.
"Coming, Alfred," he started to walk towards the vehicle when he turned back around to Artemis. "Coming, Arty?" he mocked at her, "I seem to recall you asking for my help in calc."
She glared at him for the use of KF's petname for her, but she nevertheless followed him to the limo.
"Good day, Master Richard," Alfred said as he opened the door. Artemis followed Dick into the back and when Alfred got back into the driver's seat he asked Dick, "And who is your girlfriend?"
"Alfred!"
"Ewwwww"
"She's dating my best friend!"
He chuckled, "Only joking. What is your name miss?"
"Alfred, this is my team member Artemis, she overheard me ask someone if they were 'whelmed' and figured out who I was," Dick explained, "Bruce is going to murder me." He hung his head.
"Oh dear, but don't fret, Master Richard. Only someone from team would have been able to figure it out anyway," Alfred tried to console him.
"Yeah, Dick," Artemis offered, "Get traught." He smiled as they drove on.

"So y would equal x times the square factor of z," Dick explained an hour later.
"Alright, I get it. Thanks, Dick," Artemis smiled at him.
"Dick?" called Bruce as he entered the mansion.
"In here, Bruce," Dick called back.
"Hello, Mr. Wayne," Artemis said, "I'm Artemis Crock, one of the scholarship winners."
"Ah yes, hello," said Bruce as he walked into the living room.
"I was just helping Artemis with her calculus," Dick told his father.
"Very good, and how are the rest of your classes coming," Bruce sat down on one of the armchairs and turned to Artemis.
"Good, I'm getting used to all the classes and the teachers are really helpful," she answered, finding it hard to believe that she was speaking to Batman. He took on a completely different persona when he was Batman. Unless...this was the act! Suddenly her phone started ringing.
*These wounds won't seem to heal. This pain is just too real. There's just too much that time cannot erase. When you cried I'd whip away-*
"Sorry." She apologized and checked the ID. Daddy, it read. "Sorry, I have to take this." She left the room and put the phone to her ear. "Dad?" she questioned.
"Artemis where are you? I need you to get here now. There's a protégé you need to train," her dad's angry voice came through the receiver.
"Why can't Jade train the kid?" she asked.
"She's on a mission. Now get over here!" *click* Her father hung up. Artemis sighed. She walked back into the room and gathered up her stuff. "Sorry, Dick, that was my dad. I gotta head out."
"Here, I'll walk you to the door," he answered, getting up. Bruce came with them. Artemis smirked at Dick and he tried to open his mouth to stop her but it was to late.
"See you tomorrow at the mountain, Rob," Artemis said and left quickly, leaving Dick to deal with a very angry Bruce/Batman.
"Richard John Grayson..."
Crap.
Love it? Hate it? Feel indifference toward it? Please tell me.
Oh and sorry if the math problem would not be a homework question in calculus but I'm not taking it so I wouldn't know.
Artemis's ring tone is My Immortal by Evanescence which I do not own either. :'( *sob*
Next chapter will be longer and with more action...I hope. :)
