Hey all! I'm back for moarr! XD Thanks for all the reviews! I really appreciate them!
And to BestestSuperIsBatman I did realize my mistake and will one day soon correct it :P Thanks though :D
Anyway, on the story!~ sorry for any grammar/spelling mistakes in advance!
IMPORTANT INFO: The previous chapter occurred in the afternoon of the episode 'Homefront'. Which was one of my favorite episodes btw, with all the Artemis Robin bonding :3
This chapter begins just after the events of Homefront.
Robin was not whelmed. Not whelmed at all. He and the team had just barely survived their encounter with Red tornado's 'brother and sister' and were still recovering from the shock of Tornado's betrayal.
"They're gone. All three of them. Gone" Robin had just exclaimed earlier.
"Tell us exactly what happened" stated Batman looking at the team, bat glare on at full force.
"Well.. we were all just hanging out in the garage when Tornado's siblings decided to drop for a surprise visit" said Superboy, crossing his hands over chest.
"Yes. The one which could control fire trapped superboy and kid flash in some melted metal and confined M'gann and I in a cage of fire, in which our powers were unusable". Kaldur, the leader explained. "Then Artemis and Robin also entered Mount Justice and with the help of kid flash, created an EMP wave shorting out the intruders. Shortly after, Red tornado appeared".
"Exactly. Where he then helped revive the fallen robots and trapped us in a swirling vortex of doom otherwise known as a tornado inhibiting us from breathing." Concluded Robin.
The room fell silent. Kid flash was the first to break it.
"Dudes.. we seriously got out butts whooped.." sighed kid flash, running a hand through his hair.
"I agree" stated Aqualad, who then faced to address hit team, "It would seem that we will need more training before we are to battle them again". The team nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, we seriously need to get traught" smirked Artemis looking at Robin. Robin smiled, and stole a wink back. Kid Flash noticed this and pouted. He sped up to Artemis, raised his eyebrows and grinned.
"Hey sugar. You think you could help me out? Think I got a toothache from you being so sweet and all".
Artemis stared and face palmed "God! That had to be the worst one yet, Kid Mouth!"
Wally blushed and team and some of the justice league members laughed, breaking the tension. (Batman's scowl remains :P) The justice league discussed briefly about the matter and decided to allow the young heroes to carry on their days as usual, till more information on Red Tornado's whereabouts could be known. No missions would be assigned for now.
The next day, Artemis arrived to school and opened her locker, gathering her books for her next lesson. She closed it and let out a small yelp, taking a step back in surprise when she noticed Dick staring at her in place of where her locker door had just been.
"Hey Artemis!" smiled Dick "ready for class?"
"Ah-err-yes! Just, don't do that again".
"Haha, whatever you say" Dick snickered. Artemis rolled her eyes but couldn't hide the smile on her face.
They got to class and sat at desks near each other. Artemis looked up at the clock. 8 am. 7 more hours of school to go.
Lesson started as normal with trying to convince the class of the brilliance that was trigonometry. But just then, a loud BANG could be heard outside the classroom. The sound was followed by several clangs, thumps and muffled screams. Everyone in the class froze wondering what the heck was going on. Artemis and Dick being the exception of course. They both remained alert and poised reading to spring into action. Well, as much action as they could do undercover. Just then the door was kicked open abruptly, almost coming off its hinges. A large man holding a smiley faced mace entered the class. His faced covered in clown make up.
"Now listen up all you rich little brats! The boss wants all yous to get offa your little behinds and head for the gym! NOW!"
At the last exclamation, the students stiffened and hesitantly sat up from their seats making their way out the door. The man held out a box for everyone to put their phones in, reluctantly they did. Dick and Artemis got up and followed as well. Their eyes shifting around, taking note of their surroundings and current situation. Outside the hallway, students from the other classes were walking nervously towards the gym.
"What do you think is going on" whispered Artemis to Dick.
"No idea" frowned Dick "But I'm guess we're about to find out".
They entered the gymnasium. The rows of stands on either side were filled with students and staff. Dick and Artemis chose a seat on the highest part of the stands so they could observe everything clearly. There were about 5 thugs guarding each door of the great hall. All of their faces painted to look like clown, which kinda made them seem less terrifying then they probably were. Some of them were holding maces, batons as well as guns and.. pies? Exploding pies of course! Go figure.. Suddenly, an eerie, maniacal laugher was heard echoing down the hallways. The entire hall was silenced. The laughter got louder and louder as it slowly approached the gym, causing its occupants to shudder and quiver in fear. The doors burst open, and at tall, lightly skinny man walked into the room and strode to the centre. The man's hair was green and he wore a purple suit and purple tie and had a creepy smile stretched across his face.
"Well, Hello there Kiddies and Non-kiddies!" yelled the man excitedly as he clapped his hands together "Let's have some fun today, now shall we? I'm sure there are lotsa things 'Mr. Joker' would be happy to 'teach' you today!"
Somewhat of a cliffhanger? :D Hope you guys found it interesting.
Just as I said before, leave me tips on how I can make it better! Please and thank you!
