So I was reading something like this on livejournal, and I thought it was really cool. They're only supposed to be a sentence long, but some needed more then one sentence.
Artemis
Comfort
It doesn't take much to break her that night. All her secrets come unraveling in seven hours, and she nearly loses her mother.
So when M'gann (kind, wonderful, beautiful, M'gann) holds her arms out, Artemis throws herself into them, clutching and crying and taking comfort in something she'd never expected to have.
A friend.
Kiss
"That was awful," said Artemis, but she leaned forward again anyhow.
Soft
The sand is the only thing soft that night.
Pain
Blinding, hot-white, excruciating—
"I'm fine," she grits out, but the pain is almost unbearable.
Potatoes
The only thing in reach is a potato, but the bruise that appears on Wally's head is completely satisftying.
Rain
It pelts against her skin, cooling it, and she figures it's good for hiding too, since Wally hasn't noticed her tears yet.
Chocolate
Artemis shivers as the melted chocolate is kissed from her skin.
Happiness
He's made sure she's never known it.
Telephone
The receiver is slippery in her hand. Slippery with her own blood, and the way she says Wally's voice, like she's dying (she is) is enough to make him rush home, monitor duty forgotten.
He finds her bloody on the floor, and the baby (the sweet, perfect, unborn baby-) is already gone.
Ears
M'gann has the nicest ears Artemis has ever seen…
Name
"You have to change it," Batman says, and she knows that going by Artemis was stupid in the first place. She remembers the name her mother had been fond of and says: "Tigress."
"Tigress it is," Batman says, entering it into the database.
Sensual
Roy…Roy's body, mouth, hands, arms are enclosing her, pulling her deeper, making her forget everything and the way he looks at her, eyes low, mouth pulling into a smirk, she realizes he's won.
Death
Death is peaceful, death is calm.
They lower Lian into the ground, and Artemis thinks that she's lost too many people, and maybe if she repeats it enough, it'll finally come true.
Sex
Wally's hands aren't sure where to go, and to be honest, neither are hers. But then he moves them up her sides, cupping her breasts and her hands squeeze his rear, eliciting a low groan from him, and he bucks into her.
Touch
"On your knees," he commands, and Artemis complies, squeezes her eyes shut, and pretends it's not him.
"Yes Father," she murmurs, leaning forward.
Weakness
"Find any weakness, and destroy them."
Megan hates fire.
Kaldur fears suffocating on land.
Wally's terrified of losing his legs.
Robin's nightmares consist of falling and screaming.
Conner is scared of killing his friends.
Artemis uses this to her advantage.
Tears
Artemis wipes M'gann's tears ("he doesn't like me, why doesn't he like me?") because she's not sure what else to do.
Speed
Roy's not the only addict.
Wind
She misses the way it would whip her hair around. Now, her short, black locks barely move.
Freedom
Eight months, thirty-seven days.
She steps outside, smiling at Kaldur as he comes to greet her. Her cuff-free wrists are caught by his strong, webbed hands, and he kisses her like she's the water he breathes.
Life
She often wonders how it became so easy to take lives.
Jealousy
She's jealous of Jade. Jealous of how she can make such a beautiful, incredible daughter. Jealous of how she can have the man Artemis never could. Jealous of how easy it is for her to kill.
Jealous that her mother's sister would always be her father's favorite.
Hands
Her mother kept the little ceramic circle of the outline of her hands in the kitchen. It was the only thing he didn't destroy.
Taste
Jason Todd tastes of cigarettes, blood and alcohol.
Devotion
She'll prove she isn't evil, she will.
Forever
"We'll be together forever," Dick used to tell her, and after Barbara, Kory, Roy, she wonders if he said that to all of them.
Blood
Martian's bleed darker than humans, Artemis realizes with a slow, horrified face, and when Wally shoves the pipe through her chest, her own blood mingles with the dead Martian's.
Sickness
It eats away at him, tearing the speed he once treasured away from him. And she tries not to watch as he sobs over the suit he wore so proudly.
Melody
When her mother dies, Artemis tries her hardest not to forget the Vietnamese melody she used to sing.
Star
Goddess of the Hunt. Artemis. She's up there, arrow drawn, and Artemis wonders what it'll take to be up there, too.
Home
"C'mon," Wally grips one end of the bed, gritting his teeth. "Haul your ass, arrowhead—"
"Shut up," Artemis grins, lifting the other end and walking into their new home.
Confusion
"I don't like girls," Artemis says, pulling away from Megan's hotsexywet mouth. The Martian stares for a moment, before shifting into Conner.
"Then I don't have to be one," her voice is deeper, and Artemis feels confused, because this isn't what she wanted either. Instead, she leans forward and kisses her.
Fear
Assassins shouldn't be afraid of the dark.
Lightning/Thunder
Even though it's the thing that gave him his powers, Wally brings her close when thunderstorms rip through Keystone, and she doesn't miss the barely-there shivers that jolt through him.
Bonds
Hands tug at hers, pulling them roughly behind her and securing them in tight bonds. She tries not to think about what Bane will do to her.
Market
"I already went shopping," Artemis scowls, wishing Dick could be there so she could personally kick his acrobatic ass. "And I already bought fruit, but our eat-everything-in-sight-speedster ate all of it," she lowers her voice as she passes an older man. "Besides—"
"Yes, yes, I know. You don't actually live there but—"
"—but," Artemis interrupts, picking up fruit and examining it. "Nobody else likes shopping, so poor Artemis is on the case."
"You rock," Dick's grinning, she can tell. "I owe you one."
"Hells yeah you do," she mutters, snapping her phone shut and returning to her fruit picking.
Technology
After she comes back from the dead, she has trouble figuring out how to work the new computer at the Tower.
Gift
Artemis hands the young boy her old bow. If he can't run, he might as well do something.
Jai takes it with a grin and Iris smiles too.
Smile
Conner's always had a smile for her. They may not have dated or anything like that, but Conner knows what it's like to be used. And when she's down, when people have lost their trust in her, he's always there with that smile, and she thinks maybe it'll be okay.
Innocence
That summer, she takes everything Wally has. His friend, his innocence and his love.
Completion
She grins at Dick, M'gann, Kaldur, Conner and Wally in the crowd, holds up her University diploma and grins.
Clouds
"I see…a puppy," M'gann's fingers are warm, woven tightly with Artemis'. The blonde stares at the sky, eyebrows furrowed. "I don't see it."
The Martian laughs next to her, turning her head to stare at her girlfriend. "No? It's there," she lifts their joined hands, pointing at a fluffy white cloud. But Artemis isn't staring at the clouds. She watches M'gann's peaceful face.
Sky
She'll never get used to flying. Especially not if Beast Boy's in charge of the damn wheel.
Heaven
"She's up in Heaven," Lian whispers, tracing Donna's face in the photo. Roy tightens his grip on his daughter, gazing at the photo, too. When Lian looks up, her eyes meet Artemis'. "Right?"
"Right," Artemis says, but she's not sure she believes it.
Hell
Artemis writhes against her restraints, trying to free herself, but it's useless. And when he lowers the knife, drags it across her stomach, lower, lower, lower-
If she believed in Hell, this would be it.
Sun
The first thing she looks at when she digs herself free from the grave is the sun.
Moon
She has sex with Wally under the moonlight, and he whispers "I love you," in her ear.
Waves
They lap against her calves, drawing her in. Kaldur holds out his hand, pulling her into the waves.
Hair
When her father cuts it off, she finishes the job and dyes it black.
And when she looks in the mirror, later that week, eyeing the shoulder-length black tendrils, she wonders why she didn't do it before.
Supernova
Wally's smile is like a supernova, Artemis decides. It's so bright, and brilliant, and these days, it's rare, too.
