"Give up Sportsmaster, you can't win this battle." Artemis said as she kicked Sportsmaster in the stumach. Sportsmaster quickly tackled Artemis to the ground and held her arms in his hold "You know baby girl, it's not too late to change sides. If you join the shadows we can be a family again. Jade, you and me."
Artemis struggled against his hold but it's was too strong "You stopped being my family when you killed my mother. I have a new family now and they care about me unlike you."
Sportsmaster punched Artemis in her face "Do you think they still want to be your family when they find out whose blood is running in your veins. They will think that you're the mole and kick you out of that stupid team and you will be crawling back to me. You know you don't belong there"
Artemis saw a small opening and kicked Sportsmaster right in the balls and crawled away from him and to her bow. "Maybe you're right, maybe I don't belong in the team because I won't hesitate to kill you" Artemis said as she pointed a pointy arrow at Sportsmaster's chest.
"Artemis snap out of it, you will be no better than he is." Kid flash said through the link.
Artemis pulled harder on her bow and almost letting go. Sportsmaster was still on the ground laughing "Just kill me now baby girl, you know you want to. You think if you kill me, all your pain will go away but they will be just begin."
"Artemis don't do this, I know you want revenge after what he did to your mother but killing is not the answer. We are almost there just drop your bow and arrow, please" Kid flash said as he tried to stop her from doing something she will regret.
Artemis didn't let go of her bow but held it even tighter. Sportsmaster stood up and walked to Artemis and said "I know you can't kill me because I am the only family you have left. And I thought I trained you better, but clearly you are as weak as your mother was."
"Don't you talk about my mother like that, how could you kill her, even after everything you did, she still loved you and you just killed her because I don't want to be an assassin. You don't deserve to live" Artemis said as Sportmaster stood in front of the arrow, the arrow touching his chest "Do it, let go of the arrow"
"NOO Artemis, we on our way just don't do it. You are better than this" Kid flash said again as Artemis started to drop her bow but at the last minute she let go of the arrow and it hit Sportsmaster in the schoulder. He fell to the ground holding his shoulder "You will pay for this Baby girl." He said as he threw a ball at Artemis. Before she could react, smoke came from the ball and Artemis started to cough and fell to the ground.
Kid flash and the rest of the team walked into the factory and Robin took down Sportsmaster, who was trying to escape but was feeling dizzy from the blood loss.
Kid flash ran to Artemis but was shocked when he saw a one year old with blond hair and grey eyes in a bundle of clothes, what was much too big for her. "Artemis?"
Baby Artemis looked at Kid flash before she started to play with the clothes. Robin joined the others and almost dropped to the ground as he saw the toddler before grabbing his communicator "Robin to Batman, we have a situation"
When the team arrived at the cave after dropping off Sportsmaster by Belle Reve and was greeted by Batman, Green Arrow and Black Canary. All three of them looked at the toddler in Aqualad's arms. Batman was the first to come over his shock "What happened"
"We were investigating when Artemis saw Sportsmaster run into a factory and followed him, she tried to kill Sportsmaster but when we arrived she was like this" Aqualad said as he putted Artemis down. Artemis tried to stand but tripped on the clothes and fell down, she looked up and as soon as she saw the others, the toddlers lip started to temble and she started to cry.
"Awhh" Black Canary said as she walked over to Artemis and picked her up and started to comfort the toddler.
"Dinah come with me, we need to know if this can be reversed" Batman said and walked away followed by Black Canary who still had Artemis in her arms.
Green Arrow turned to the team "Where is Sportsmaster"
Kid flash stepped forward "We dropped him off by Belle Reve on our way here. Is Artemis going to be alright?"
"I don't know" Was all that Green Arrow said before walking away.
After half an hour of waiting, Green Arrow, Batman, Black Canary who had a sleeping Artemis in her arms returned. Kid flash ran to Black Canary "And is there a way to reverse this?"
Green Arrow putted a hand on his shoulder "I am afraid not, whatever it was that turned her into a toddler is permanent, she will have to grow up again."
The mouths of the whole team dropped and Kid flash looked like was going to faint. "So let me get this straight, Artemis need to grow up again." Robin asked as he looked at Artemis in Black Canary's arms.
"I know it's not the news you were expecting but Artemis has the change to grow up like a normal person, without the pain and abuse from her father." Batman said as he also looked at Artemis.
M'gann stepped forward and touched the toddler's cheek "But where will she live, I mean her mother is dead and we can't give her to Sportsmaster."
Green Arrow looked at his wife, who nodded "Dinah and I will adopt her."
"Does this mean this is the last time we will we see her?" M' gann asked as she looked at Black Canary. Everyone turned to M'gann "No, of course not. We will bring her as often as we can." Black Canary said smiling at M'gann.
Zatanna walked up to Black Canary "May I hold her?"
Black Canary looked at Zatanna and nodded before handing Artemis to Zatanna. Zatanna smiled at Artemis "Hey there little one, aren't you a cutie pie." M'gann stood next to Zatanna and stroked Artemis's hair, Artemis opened her eyes and looked around before she started to cry. M'gann started to panic "Oh no, stop crying please. I didn't mean to wake you. No no no please just stop crying, I won't do that again."
Black Canary started to laugh "M'gann she's just hungry, you didn't do anything wrong." Black Canary took Artemis back before she walked towards the kitchen.
Green Arrow walked towards the zeta tubes, saying something getting the adopting papers ready.
Kid flash still stood on the exact spot when he felt a hand on his shoulder and saw that Robin was standing there "Are you alright dude?"
Kid flash sighed "No, I really loved Artemis you know and I never told her and now she a damn one year old"
Aqualad walked to Kid flash "She knew, you didn't have to tell her that and she loved you too. You may never be girlfriend and boyfriend but now you can be the best uncle she can have"
Kid flash felt something hit his leg, he looked down and saw Artemis smiling up to him. He pick her up and she hugged him, he hugged her back.
Robin looked at the two of them "You see she already likes you."
Kid flash looked at Artemis "You're adorable, you know that." Artemis just smiled at him. "Recognized Red Arrow B06" the zeta tube announced Roy's arrival. "Is it true, please tell me it's not true" he said before he saw baby Artemis in Kid flash's arms. Artemis who was scared by Roy's angry face started to cry loudly.
Kid flash didn't know what to do "Oh no , shhhh don't cry baby." Artemis just kept crying louder. Robin slapped Wally's head and took Artemis from him "Did mean old Roy scare you, little one. Don't worry he will not hurt you." Artemis stopped crying. Black Canary ran into the room after she heard Artemis cry "Oh hi Roy. Meet your new baby sister" Roy looked at Dinah for a minute before he stormed away.
