Hey! So this is an idea I got a long time ago, but I didn't do anything with it so…I thought I'd put into words. Tell me what you think!
I leaped out of my hiding place, and shot arrow after arrow never missing a target. Oh man how I love the feeling of adrenaline rushing through my body. I let out a triumphant laugh as I let out another array of arrows. I can feel the excitement rushing out my every pore. I know next to me my team is having the same feeling. I hear robins cackle and the grunts that come with delivering a good punch. We are in a high tech lab in the Rockies. There were immense heat signatures up here so they sent us to check it out. Sure enough we found this place. I had to be extra careful not to not over the potentially harmful bottles of who knows what. Out of the corner of my eye , I saw a man trying (and failing) to sneak out with a brief case held tightly up against his chest guarded by his arms. I knew if I could shoot this guy, we will have what we came for. Whatever he has in that briefcase, is important enough to try to sneak out. Robin looked over at me, I could tell he was having the same idea. I ran over to the side, out of the way of the chaos. I have to admit I was a little upset that I have to miss some of the action. I took aim confidently and without the slightest hesitation I fired. The arrow sailed through the air, spiraling perfectly and right before it hit the target, my arrow fell short. I missed.
The team had finished off the fight, every goon was passed out. The man and the briefcase were gone. Artemis was in shock, she had never missed a shot. She had screwed up, and because of it she let down the team. "Artemis what happened?" asked robin. He seemed just as shocked as she was feeling. Missing a shot shouldn't be a big deal, but Artemis had never missed a shot, never showed any weakness.
"Isn't it obvious," Wally said, "she missed a shot, an easy shot. Red Arrow would have never missed that shot." His words stung. Artemis knew she had messed up, but she didn't need to be compared to speedy.
"It was an honest mistake…happens to the best of us." Kaldur said, as he offered her a small smile. Wally scoffed
"We were all thinking it. If Sp-Red Arrow was on this team, instead of Ms. Congeniality over here, we would have that briefcase…we would probably have a lot more successful missions as well." As soon as he said the words, he knew they were wrong. But he couldn't apologies his damn pride forbids him. Artemis looked at the ground, knowing in her heart that he was right.

All of a sudden about twenty more goons rushed through each door. Somebody tripped me backward and I fell backwards into a big machine. The door shut behind me. I started banging on the wall for somebody to let me out. I was stuck in a tall cylinder, like a small closet. The room started to steam up, and the steam started to come down on me.

The team had just about finished off the rest of the offenders, when they heard a scream. The team all looked to a chamber, quite like the one they found Superboy in. The screaming continued, it sounded like murder, like somebody was in excruciating pain. The team looked at each other, and then M'gann shrieked, "Its Artemis!" everybody's eyes widened, "she's in pain! We need to help her!" M'gann shouted. Wally started banging on the outside of the glass. But to no avail, because the door wouldn't open. Artemis let out one more deafening shriek and the door cracked open. Wally stepped forward and pushed the door open the rest of the way, and Artemis collapsed out. Conner reached down and picked her up. The team carried Artemis back to the mountain's infirmary.
