A/N - A song fic set durring failsafe
Why does it always have
too come down to you leaving,
Before I'll say I love you?

"Artemis!" The words spewed out of my mouth before my brain could stop it. A part of me wanted to throw my hands up to my mouth but instead I just sunk into the snow surrounding superman's inner sanctum. I was trying with all of my might not to let a tear fall from my face, not here, not in front of the team, I couldn't.
'Why did you have to be so stupid Artemis, why couldn't let one of us stay back, why do you always have to be so hard headed.' I silently cursed the blond hair girl whom had just disappeared in front of my eyes. Sinking deep onto the snow I pounded my fists against the snow before running my now wet hands threw my hair. I then felt a hand on my back and turned to see that everyone else was already gone other than Robin who looked down at me with a worriedly smile as his hand tightened around my shoulder.
"I… I lost her, Rob. I lost my spitfire." I said closing my eyes trying to hold back my tears. She was gone, completely and utterly gone and I had never told her. I never even told her I didn't hate her let a less that I loved her. How could I be so stupid, so stupid for so long. In one blasted day I lost my aunt, who was basically like a mother to me, my uncle, who I would always view as my father, the other heroes, who despite their obvious corks and flaws where almost like a second family.
Yet not one of those hits took the breath out of him the way it had when he saw Artemis disappear before his eyes, and knew it didn't matter how fast he was he was never going to be able to stop them. "Stupid Aliens I will kill every last one of you! That's a promise." He cursed into the wind. Then he finally stood and moved into the bio ship with a new determination. He was going to kill every one of those blasted aliens if it meant he died in the process. He came to the decision he had nothing else to lose. And he would made good on his own silent promise he had made the night the reds took over the mountain. He never told the girl but he had seen her face after Robin got captured, he remembered there conversation afterwards. He had promised that he would always be there for her. Well not exactly in so many words but he had promised himself that night that he would kill anyone who even touched his spitfire. And those aliens just chose the wrong person to mess with.
