My first fic, so be gentle.

No OCs, everyone is in the cartoon or comics!

I got to thinking about how in Young Justice, Artemis and Jade are sisters, so Lian and Isabelle would be cousins and decided to have some fun with it!

DC owns it all!


Artemis was nervous, to say the least.

When Jade had first proposed the idea of them going on vacation and leaving their daughters with their father, she had said no. Not because she didn't want to spend time with her sister, after the invasion they had became closer than ever, but he had a bit of a mean streak.

It wasn't that she didn't trust her father, she did, but the thought of leaving her daughter with anyone was a bit nerve racking. True, Crusher had never actually hit her but his words had been rough at times and at six, Isabelle was a bit sensitive.

Cameron was no help to her cause. Their villain persona's had been put a bit on hold when Belle was born, and they hadn't spent any real alone time together in YEARS. She would have said yes in a heartbeat if Ollie and Dinah would watch the girls, but they were going to, Via Roy's request. She could always ask *Roy, Cissie, Mia and Connor, but the young vigilantes were a bit reckless for her taste.

It had been Lian who had finally talked her into it. Her ten year old niece had pulled out the puppy eyes, saying how much she wanted to spend three weeks with her little cousin. She had begged and begged and begged until Artemis had said yes, but only if she could find someone to help her father watch the girls.

Joar Mahkent was not who she had had in mind. Sure Joar loved Isabelle, but he was harsher to Cam than her father had ever been to her or Jade. They had grown up together, and she had seen first hand how rough Joar could be to his son.

"Look, I know he has a temper, but i swear on my life he wouldn't lay a hand on Isa. He wouldn't do that to a little girl," Cameron had SWORN over and over again.

Artemis had been outsmarted by her own family and It had stung a bit, but she was sure the waters of the Caribbean would wash that all away.

With her bikini packed and two hours till her flight left, she was feeling pretty good.

And guilty.

(..)

Isabelle was less than excited to stay with her grandpa's. She loved them, but they didn't check under the bed for monsters or know how to french braid hair like Mommy did. They didn't watch cartoons with her at 7:00 every morning or show her how to make pretty snowflakes like Daddy did.

No, all her grandpa's knew how to do was boss her around. If their was one thing Isabelle knew, It was that nobody bossed Artemis Mahkent around, and nobody was going to boss Isabelle Mahkent around neither.

Lian was another thing Isabelle had stipulations with. Her cousin was...Fun, at times, but way to wild for Belle's taste. Lian liked to scare her and tease her and try to tell her what to do and Isa was not a fan, to be honest.

"It's only for three weeks," Mommy had said.

"it will be FUN," Daddy had said.

As if.

Isabelle peeks around the door to her parents room, only to see her Mommy standing by her suitcase. Isa felt her eyes start to gather in her eyes, and decides that this was the worst idea in the history of forever and ever.

"Whats up, Kiddo?" Isabelle hears from behind.

Belle turns around to see her father looking down at her. She raps her arms around his knees, and decides that if she doesn't let go, he can't leave. She feels his hands under her arms as he picks her up and she lets go of his knees for his neck.

"Why do you have to go Daddy?" she mumbles into his shoulder.

"it wont be long, Baby Doll, I promise you'll have a good time, right Mommy?" He says loud enough for Artemis to hear.

Artemis comes quickly into the hall and kisses the top of her daughters white-blonde head.

"Of course she will," Artemis says, "You'll have Lian to play with,"

Isabelle removes her face from her father's shoulder to glare at her mother.

"Lian bossy, Papa Jo bossy, Grandpa Crock bossy, all bossy bossy bossy!" The little girl exclaimes angerly.

"Would you rather stay with Grandma Crock?" Artemis asks.

"No. Grandma Crock boring," Belle says.

"Then grandpa's it is. Look Love Bug, I know you don't want to but if your good, You and me will go shopping for new clothes and weapons when we get home," Artemis promises with a smile.

"You will?" Cam asks.

"We will," Artemis says, sending her husband a look.

"Can I get a new purple crossbow with butterflies and a new purse?" Isabelle sniffs.

"You bet," Artemis smiles broadly.

"Then OK, i guess," Isabelle sighs.

Isa makes sure to hold both Mommy and Daddy's hand while they walked to the zeta transporter a few blocks away, since she may never see them again and all. Daddy picks her up when the big blue light shines brighter and they walk the next few blocks to her Grandpa Crocks house.

"AUNT ARTY! UNCLE CAM!" Lian shouts as they enter the room to hug Belles parents.

Cam sets Isa down, and she walks over to give Aunt Jade and Uncle Roy a less enthusiastic hug.

Roy quirks an eyebrow at Artemis, who mouths 'separation issues' at him, and he nods.

"We should get going," Jade says, "We still have to pick up Oliver and Dinah."

After giving her parents and aunt and uncle a hug goodbye, she's left standing in a room with only Lian and her grandpa's.

"Well Rosie Girl, aren't you gonna say hi?" Grandpa Crock asks.

Isa smiles at both men shyly before Lian grabs her arm roughly and pulls her through the house to a room at the back.

"This is where we're gonna stay," She says "That beds yours, 'cuz it was your mamas and this one was my mamas so its mine,"

Isa likes the room, the blanket on her bed is purple, her favorite color, and there's lots of space, but she doesn't want to share with Lian. Belle frowns a bit but chooses to bite her tongue on the matter.

With the help of her much taller cousin, Isabelle unpacks her bags and makes her way back into the main room.

This is going to be a LONG three weeks.


Short, but the next one will be longer just trying to set up the story here.

*The 'real' Roy.

Expect updates, and if you like it review!

There will be lots of accidental granddaughter loosing, some superhero kid friends, Irresponsible teenage "aunt and uncle" archers, fast food and plenty more!

I'm open to ideas, but there will be no OCs in my story.
