So I decided to do it. And having hit another road block in my Buffy/ Merlin story, I wrote this to clear my head. This is the first story in my new Young Justice oneshot/ two shot series. Hope you enjoy (don't ask me why they are all living together, just roll with it).
Artemis's Worst Fear
M'gann was alone in the cave's common area when it happened.
She had been sitting in front of the TV pouring over a new recipe, when she heard a bloodcurdling scream coming from one of the bedrooms.
Upstairs the other heroes had filed into the hallway. "Who screamed?" M'gann asked, landing beside Superboy.
"We thought it was you." He muttered.
"Yeah, we thought you went to your room, then remembered you put cookies in." Wally told her.
M'gann frowned. "You know the amount of times I've cooked things properly, heavily outweighs the times I've burned things."
Another scream came from Artemis's room. "Artemis! Artemis open the door!" Aqualad called, pulling on the locked door's handle.
Superboy ripped the door from its hinges when Artemis screamed once more. The archer was standing atop her bed. Several arrows were embedded in the wall across from her.
"Artemis what-"
"Kill it! Kill it!" She screeched.
Her five teammates piled into the room. "Kill... what exactly?" Robin asked.
"That- that spider! That humongous mutant of a spider!"
Everyone squinted at the wall. "Where?" Superboy walked closer to the wall. "What this thing? It's barely the size of my pinkie."
Conner demonstrated by laying his finger beside the arachnid in question. The vibration causing the spider to scurry away. Artemis squeaked, and shot another arrow. Conner whipped his hand out of the way. "Watch it!"
M'gann walked over. "Come on Mr. Spider, I think you'll be more comfortable outside."
She plucked the spider from the wall. Not until M'gann had made it all the way downstairs did Artemis leave the safety of her bed.
"You come from a family of super villains, but you're afraid of spiders. Interesting."
"Shut it Baywatch."
Anyone who knows some who is afraid of spiders will have experienced a sitituation like this at least once in their lives. It's short I know, but I had fun writing it, I hope you liked it!
