Chapter Two
Artemis' POV
I yawned and looked around me at my surroundings. I was terrified for a moment before I realised that I was on the Condor. I had found the ship I was looking for and I was going to live here for a while. Everything surrounding me was purple and I slightly grinned. The Storm Hawks were letting me sleep in Starlings room for now. She had been so nice to find me and bring me here. I brushed my hair and did everything just like Piper had done yesterday to make my appearance more, uh, pleasant. I was just re-attaching my blade to my belt when I heard the door open behind me. "Chicka-ch-WOAH!" I blushed slightly when I noticed that I had attacked the person opening the door without even realising it. I looked down to where the sound had come from and blushed even more. I had attacked, uh what was his name? Oh yeah, Finn. Anyways I was now straddling him and had my blade over his neck. Aerrow came running towards my room because of the commotion and had to stop and laugh for a second when he saw the predicament Finn was in. I got up quickly and attached the blade to my belt. "That's not normally how we say good morning on the Condor but seeing as it's Finn I'll allow it." Aerrow said with a chuckle as he helped Finn up. Finn mumbled something under his breath and then looked at me. "I just came to say that breakfast is ready." He stated and laughed, not at all bothered by what had just happened between us. I glared daggers at him, "I knew that." I retorted hotly and headed for the door. I was too busy glaring at him to watch where I was going so I walked right into the wall and fell over. "I meant to do that." I croaked clumsily. I jumped up and walked through the hallway to the kitchen. Aerrow and Fin were staring at me as I walked along and of course I just had to walk into another wall.
Finn's POV
"I MEANT TO DO THAT TOO!" I heard being called down through the hallway from Artemis. I burst out laughing but apparently Aerrow didn't find it funny. "You're bumming my mood Aerrow." I snorted and he just stared at me for a moment. "We need to be careful Finn. She could have seriously hurt you. From now on you are to knock before going into a room with her in before entering. At least until she gets better." He finally responded, and now I was the one staring at him. "She would have caught herself before she hurt anybody. I'm going to train with her today and see how skilled she is." I replied dryly and walked out of the room and into my own. I sat down on my bed and but on my headphones. After about twenty minutes and took them off and thought for a second. She wouldn't have actually hurt me would she? I mean I know I can be annoying sometimes but still. You know she kind of looks like a short, pretty girl form of Aerrow. How did she get the Double-Handed Energy Blade, especially with that infinity stone.
"Finn breakfast is getting cold, and Aerrow says that you're going to train with me today so hurry up!" I grin as I hear Artemis shout to me and I shake my head to clear my thoughts before I go to eat.
"This is where we will be training for next while. Its VIP members only so feel special." I say with a grin while looking around the hanger. "How exclusive." She says pointedly while looking at a giant spider web. I go to retort something back but then I notice that she is smiling. "My, my somebody has a sense of humor under that shell. A small shell but none the less, still a shell." She glares at me and if looks could kill I would seriously be murdered right now. Like seriously. Eyes of steel. They're like daggers. "I may be short Mr. Hotshot but at least I'm smart." She replies hastily. "Says the girl who walked into five walls this morning. Two of them were the same wall too." She glares at me again and I swear would be obliterated then put back together then obliterated once more. "Let's just get started." She muttered. I grin, "Okay princess first we are going to do no weapons and just straight out hand to hand combat." This time she grins and throws her blade to the side of the room. "Are you sure? I wouldn't want to hurt you. Piper tells me you aren't very good in a fight unless it's a verbal one. I mean really? Getting your skimmer sliced in half in every fight?" She smirks and cracks her neck and hands before getting into a fighting stance. I grimace and get into my fighting stance, "Yeah well Piper's a liar." I retort and with that final remark I lunge for her. The next fifteen seconds are a blur and then I am on the floor with Artemis straddling me again. Except this time instead of her blade she has her fore arm over my neck. She's giggling leaning over my face and from this distance I can see that she's a little flushed. I don't know if it's from being this close to me or from the exercise she just did. She leans even closer and my breath catches in my throat, "Why Finn it looks to me like you're a little flustered. I wonder why?" She whispers and gets up off me slowly while laughing. She's completely standing up now and I manage to get up off my back and I'm sitting on the floor. She walks away towards the door and just as she opens it she turns around to me and drawled in an English accent, "Mr. Hotshot do enjoy this VIP lounge." She giggles and walks through the door and closes it. I sit on the floor with my mouth wide open staring at the door she went through and now I only have one thought about her in my head. I am falling for a girl I just met that has no memory of anything except her name and the Condor. I am falling for the short, green eyed, clumsy fighter girl. I am falling for Artemis.
Aerrow's POV
I quickly backed away from the window that lets you see into the hanger as I saw Artemis head for the door. I spy Junko sitting on a chair and I sit next to him and act casual. The door creaks open and I hear Artemis head towards Junko and I. "So how did training go?" I say lazily to Artemis as she sits down across from me. She giggles and looks toward the door. "It was a lot of fun. Finn is a great teacher." She says dreamily and everything goes quiet for a second before Junko bursts out laughing. "Finn? A great teacher? HAHAHAHA!" Junko bellowed and I saw Artemis' eyes go wide and she blushed heavily before she started stammering random words and phrases. I looked at her sharply for a second before pronouncing loudly, "Hey Artemis! Junko and I were trying to come up with a nickname for you! What do you prefer?" I say and she looks at me quizzically. I shoot Junko and pointed look and he starts stammering too, "Y-ye-yeah. Uh, I was thinking about uh, Missy. Yeah that's it, Missy!" I discretely roll my eyes at his stammering and I exclaim loudly a random nickname, "Art! I was thinking of Art as a nickname, yep. Art or Missy or just Artemis you know whichever do you like?" I start babbling and she giggles before putting on a serious thinking face and then gasping. We all looked at her quizzically and she just smiles and I notice her eyes shining. "I remembered something." She practically shouts excitedly. Before she can continue I make a call throughout the whole ship and tell everybody to make their way to our location to hear what she remembered, in about two seconds Finn was through the door to the hanger and he smiled at Artemis before sitting next to her. Piper races in next with Radar on her shoulder and she sits beside me and smiles. About a minute later Stork races in with just a towel on and Finn bursts out laughing. "I was in the middle of a swamp bath alright." He states gloomily before looking to Artemis. Everybody followed suit and soon everybody was looking at her. She giggles again and then just says one word. "Art." We all look at her for a moment before Stork clears his throat. "You are going to have to explain a little more to us." Junko nods and Artemis just smiles like she was expecting that. "I have a twin brother. I lived with him till we were four. He always used to call me Art." She smiles and soon we are all smiling. "That is great news. If we can find out who your brother is then we might be able to figure out and disclose more of your past." Piper says quietly while taking out a crystal. "Once you remember a little bit more we can use this crystal to find the location of your brother." Artemis smiles and looks at me and Junko. "About the nicknames thing. Thank you guys I wouldn't have been able to remember that piece of information without you." She turns to Junko and smiles. "You can call me Missy." Next she turns to me and smiles, but this smile isn't as bright, it looks sadder. "Aerrow you can call me Art." She goes to get up and as she starts to walk away Finn grabs her hand. I can't understand it but I know they are having a conversation with their eyes. She pulls her hand away and quickly walks into the hallway and into her room. Everybody slowly leaves the room to do their own things. Everybody except Piper and I that is. She looks at me and her eyes are full of concern. "Aerrow, I'm worried. I am about 95% sure that her brother won't remember her. If she has no memory, then I'm assuming he doesn't either. I'm also assuming the cyclonians did this and that to them it's very important that they don't remember each other." I squeeze her hand and look into her eyes, "Don't worry Piper. Everything will turn out alright for Artemi- I mean Art, and her brother. I will make sure of it." Piper smiles and leaves the room, leaving me to think. What was so important about Art that her memory had to be removed?
Sorry guys, but I am pretty sure that the chapters are going to be very short. Like all of them. But I will try to get a lot of stuff into each of them and I will try to make a lot of them.
