Author's Note: This is a kind of fun thing that popped into my brain while thinking about Diane as a person. She's an insanely likable sweet kid, especially for having been brought up by the Batman. Everyone likes Diane, except the bad guys. So this is a series of stories about her winning over various people, or groups of people. It is my Fem! Robin universe. Some of these take place before the Team, like this one. The Artemis mentioned here is a long time Wonder Woman supporting character. I own nothing.

Part 1

Artemis was out for an early morning ride when her keen warrior's senses picked up the sound. A soft groan from the nearby beach. She dismounted and tied her steed to a nearby tree. Carefully she made her way to the secluded cove. In it she found a small figure laid half in half out of the water. She knelt down next to the prone figure brushing her own red hair aside she looked the body over. Short ebony hair was plastered to pale skin, eyes were hidden behind a small black and white mask. The remains of a black and yellow cape hung soaking wet around slim shoulders slightly obscuring a red shirt with short black sleeves. A yellow belt, Black pants and boots completed the strange ensemble. Artemis frowned and turned the small figure over, it was just a child. And it was breathing. The Amazon wasted no time in picking up the still prone child and racing back to her steed. She secured the child to the saddle and leapt onto the horse behind the child. She urged her steed into a gallop and headed back to the palace.

Hippolyta was shocked to say the least when Artemis galloped into the courtyard of the palace with a child on her horse. What shocked her more was that she knew the child or at least knew of the child. Robin, the boy wonder who wasn't really a boy. Diana had told her of this remarkable child often in her letters and during her visits. When Artemis explained the circumstances under which the child had been discovered Hippolyta had nodded and instructed that the girl, at that revelation the warriors relaxed slightly and anger turned to concern on many a face, be taken to the palace and placed in the care of the best healers on the island. Artemis herself had taken to the task as Hippolyta excused herself to tend to the child. As it turned out the child had several burns all along her torso and arms. Those were the worst of her wounds which was lucky. Once the healers were finished Hippolyta assisted in changing her out of her very damaged costume and into some of Diana's old things. They were slightly large for the tiny girl but for now they would have to do. Several hours later the girl stirred. Eyes bluer than the clear waters around the island flickered open and the small girl shot up in the bed. She looked around a bit panicked when she spotted Hippolyta.

"Who are you?" The girl was clearly well trained. The panic had melted from her features as quickly as it had appeared. The look was calculating, that of a hardened warrior looking of escape routes and advantages. Hippolyta almost chuckled, this child had the bearing of an Amazon already, well almost. It was as if something darker lingered behind those robin's egg blue eyes.

"I am Hippolyta, queen of Themyscira. Welcome to the home off the amazons young robin. My daughter has told me much about you though not your real name. You are welcome on our island for as long as you wish to stay." Robin relaxed slightly her baby blues wide with surprise.

"It's a pleasure to meet you your majesty. Umm, not a question I often ask but where are my clothes?" Hippolyta nodded as Robin looked down at the slightly too large toga that had replaced her uniform.

"They were rather badly damaged, they are being repaired. We will provide you with clothes until yours are repaired. We have taken your measurements and are altering something to fit you better young one." Robin nodded. It was strange not having her mask on. It felt wrong.

"It may be beneficial if you were to tell us what happened. We found you unconscious on the beach." Robin nodded and ran a hand through her hair.

"I was with Batman fighting the royal flush gang and the ship blew. I don't remember much else but I was on deck when it blew. I must have been tossed overboard. "She looked worried. Hippolyta reached out and laid a hand on her shoulder.

"We will assist you in any way possible in discovering what became of your partner." Robin nodded in thanks and looked around.

"I'm going to need my belt." Hippolyta nodded, Diana had told her enough stories of this child and her mentor to know that the first thing on her mind would be her rather infamous utility belt. Hippolyta motioned to the table next to the bed. On it lay the girls mask, one of the only pieces of her costume that had remained undamaged, and her canary yellow utility belt. Robin quickly took hold of it and wrapped it around her waist. She felt so much more secure with its familiar comforting weight exactly where it should be. It put her more at ease knowing she had her tools if she needed them. There was a knock at the door and Hippolyta called for it to be opened. A tall redhead walked into the room and bowed to Hippolyta. In her hand was a neatly folded toga.

"My queen you requested one the garment was finished that it be brought to you."

"Thank you Artemis. Come meet our guest. Robin this is Artemis, Artemis this is Robin. Artemis is the one who found you." Robin rose to her feet.

"Thank you very much. I owe you." Artemis smiled at the young girl. She couldn't have been older than twelve.

"You owe me nothing little sister. I am simply grateful you are well." Robin smiled wide.

Batman was panicked, not that he would ever admit it. He had been found by Aquaman almost two days ago drifting in the wreckage of the royal flush gangs ship. He had been badly beaten and burned. There was no sign of the gang or of robin. Aqualad, who had met Robin a few times and was rather fond of her, was leading the underwater search while the members of the league searched the surrounding islands. But there was no sign of her.

Of course what Batman didn't know was there was another island he had yet to search. Diana arrived back at the Watchtower from an off world mission with green lantern to find a flurry of activity. Faces were grim and there was almost none if the usual laughter and conversations that normally echoed through the halls. Batman was stone faced, bandaged and looking haggard. He sat in front of a large computer that depicted an archipelago of islands. He tapped his ear.

"Any sign Superman?" The response was clearly negative as Batman slammed his fists into the table.

"Damn it Clark she can't have just disappeared! She has to be somewhere!" Diana raised her eyebrows and looked over at Hawk Girl who was leaning against the wall. She beckoned Diana over as Bruce continued yelling at Superman over the communicator.

"What happened, I've never seen Bruce act like this." Shayera nodded looking tense.

"Robin's missing. They were fighting the Royal Flush gang and a bomb they didn't know about blew the ship sky high. Aquaman found Batman floating in the sea about three days ago but no one can find Robin." Wonder Woman gasped. Then she turned to Batman.

"Where did the ship go down? I want to help in the search." Bruce nodded and pulled up a map of the area.
