Sacrifices: Chapter 2-

The team had all made it to Mount Justice and everyone had started to process the fact that Zatanna, their teammate, their friend, one of their family members, is now the Doctor Fate.

Artemis sighed. It was going to be hard to not have Zatanna here.

She decided to shower at Mount Justice since her mom was hanging out with a group of friends today. Even her mother had a better social life than her

She walked into the shower room with a towel around her body. Artemis held her clothes in one hand and her phone in the other.

The water felt wonderful when it touched Artemis' skin. She really needed it.

Artemis heard a thump and froze. 'Man, come on can't you pick another time to ambush us?' She thought.

A gush of wind passed by and whistling filled the room.

"Wally?"

"AH!"

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"Uh showering duh." He replied in a 'duh' tone.

"I'm in the shower right now! You can't do that!"

"Well obviously not. I didn't know anyone was in here since the door was unlocked."

"The door wa..." Oh oops.

"I'll leave now. Unless you want me to st-"

"Out. Now."

"Okay okay fine."

Artemis' P.O.V

The shower was great and didn't feel like going home tonight so I texted my mom:

mom im going to stay at mount justice over the night. be back by morning. stay safe. goodnight, love you.

alright artemis. love you too. stay safe.

I closed my phone and stuffed it in my sweatpants.

I heard grunts and punches were thrown. the team must be training again.

I walked in and sat on the couch, watching Robin and Superboy fight. They really were intense. The tension was strong but you could feel it fading with every kick and punch.

Superboy lunged at Robin but he smoothly dodged it and kicked Superboy on the shin, then jumped on his back and kicked him from behind.

But this time neither of them let out a huff of failure or a cheer for triumph.

They just helped each other up and walked towards me.

"Good job guys." I told both of them.

"Thanks," said Superboy. "What're you still doing here?"

"What? Don't enjoy my company?"

Superboy widened his eyes.

"No, not at all. That's not what I mean." Superboy quickly said.

Robin and I chuckled.

"I'm just joking." I told him.

He let a sigh of relief but glared jokingly at me.

"I'm...just staying over the night." I answered his previous question.

"So am I." Robin spoke for the first time.

"You guys do know there's only one room right." Superboy pitched in.

"Guess we'll share then." Robin said with a smirk.

I laughed and punched him lightly.

"I made cookies, guys!" M'gann yelled from the kitchen.

"Are they burnt?" Superboy asked jokingly.

We all laughed and joined M'gann in the kitchen while she turned red.

"Thanks you for the cookies, M'gann. They are delicious." Aqualad commented after the cookies were devoured.

"Thanks!" M'gann responded.

"Who wants to watch a movie?" Wally yelled from the living room.

We all agreed to watch a movie and then go to sleep since it was almost midnight, and M'gann thought it could be a good team "hangout".

"What movie?"

"Action!" I yelled out but many disagreed and we all shouted different movies until M'gann had told us to stop.

::

Third Persons P.O.V.

Superboy and M'gann had decided to watch a romantic comedy, called Clueless.

"Aw, come on!" Wally complained.

"C'mon, KF. It won't be that bad. They're the power couple here. Let them have their moment." Robin convinced.

"Yeah. We won't complain if you ever get a girlfriend and she wants to watch a romantic comedy." Artemis added.

"Maybe it won't be so bad." Wally said, and gave a sly smirk to Artemis.

"No." Artemis said sternly.

Robin sat down next to Artemis right when Wally was about to. He couldn't sit on her other side because she was sitting at the end of the couch.

Wally groaned and frowned as he sat down on the floor, leaning on Artemis' legs. She didn't kick him off and just allowed him to lie there.

There were all 'ooo's and 'aw's as the scene where she realized she had loved him showed up.

Wally was nudged a couple of times and he got annoyed. He glanced up at Artemis but she fell asleep, on Robin.

/

When the movie was over, everyone stretched and headed to bed.

Robin quietly removed Artemis from his shoulder and prepared to carry her to their room they were sharing together.

Robin was going through the "muscular" part of puberty and he had grown taller and had a leaner frame.

"You need help?" Wally asked, even though he knew he didn't. It was worth a shot.

"Nah, man. You should go to sleep, the mission really wore you out." Robin said worriedly.

"Yeah, I guess," Wally agreed. "Well, goodnight, Rob. have fun- I mean, na- that's not what I meant!"

"Yeah, yeah. Alright you too." robin responded with a smirk.

Well, sweet dream Artemis. Don't have too much fun.
