Okay so here's chapter 1 of this fic. Enjoy!
Note: If it is in italics then it is a flashback. If it's bold then it's a dream.
Dick Grayson, ward to Bruce Wayne, smirked as he walked up to Artemis Crock.
Artemis never saw it coming, as she talked to Bette.
In a flash, Dick went up to Artemis and took a picture. "We'll laugh about this someday." He took it and while she was blinded by the flash, and disappeared into the shadows.
He smirked as she looked around hopelessly confused. "Who was that?"
"Just a freshman, ignore him." Bette replied rolling her eyes at the wonder that was Dick.
Dick chuckled to himself as Barbara spoke. "Dick, what was that about?" Translation: Is she one of your teammates?
Dick smiled. "Nothing Barbra, just being friendly to the new girl." Translation: Yes, don't say a word.
Barbra rolled her eyes as she walked away from Dick.
Dick followed admiring his picture.
Dick smirked as he remembered that day. Looking at the photo, he decided it was time to mess with Artemis again.
It was cold, as she ran. She didn't know what she was running from yet, but what ever it was terrified her.
"You can't run from me forever Artemis!"
That voice brought chills to her spine. He couldn't be here! Why was he chasing her?
Sportsmaster chuckled. "You can run, but you can't hide little girl. I'll get you.
Artemis arrived at the cave, ready to let out some of her stress from school during training.
But instead she got more stress.
Wally zoomed up to her and smirked. "Hey Arty, I didn't know you went to Gotham for school."
Artemis narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean?"
Wally showed her that picture. "I mean this."
Artemis grabbed it from him. "How did you get this!"
Wally shrugged, "it was in my backpack when I got home yesterday."
"So who's your boyfriend in there?"
Artemis clenched her fists. "He's not my..."
"Sure sure... that's what we all say sweet cheeks."
"I mean it Baywatch! And don't call me sweet cheeks."
Wally shrugged and zoomed off.
Robin appeared beside Artemis and smirked. "So who's the handsome boy beside you in that picture?"
Artemis jumped. "Robin! Don't do that!"
Robin shrugged. "Are you going to answer my question or am I to assume that he's your boyfriend?"
Artemis glared at him. "FOR THE LAST TIME HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!"
Robin held up his hands. "Woah, sorry didn't mean to strike a nerve."
Artemis sighed. "It's fine I'm just stressed. He's Dick Grayson, a freshmen, and I really don't know him."
Robin nodded. "Ah I see, well Black Canary will be here in 10 minutes for training so time to get tressed."
"Tressed?" Artemis asked.
"Yeah, the opposite of stressed."
"Whatever."
He arrived at home and immediately knew something was wrong.
In a flash he ran into his house and saw his mom and dad with cold looks on their face.
"Mom, Dad? What's the matter?" He asked.
"You are Wally." His dad answered.
"Look, if it's about that bad grade in English, I can make that up!" He said, starting to panic.
"No it's not your grades Wally. It's *you*. Your powers are just too much for us to handle." His mother responded.
"What are you saying?" He asked, worry clearly in his voice.
"What were are saying is it's time to move out Wally. We're disowning you." His father responded.
"..." He was speechless, emotions running rapid in his mind.
His mother gave him a backpack.
"There's enough money for a week, along with a week's worth of clothes."
He couldn't find his voice, tears streaming freely on his face.
His father escorted him out of the door. He was too dazed to protest.
He looked at his parents one last time before the door closed forever on him.
Turns out instead of Black Canary training them, Batman arrived with a mission.
"There has been reports of suspicious activity from Knight Industries." Batman started.
"Sources say that they are taking the cobra venom and updating it with another chemical."
Batman paused.
"That chemical is fear gas."
Robin's eyes widened.
"However, it is unknown that Scarecrow is involved."
Batman looked at the team.
"I want you to go in, get the data on the cobra venom, and get out. If Scarecrow is involved, call for back up. Do not intervene, this is covert."
The team nodded.
"Good, dismissed." With that Batman left.
Whelp there's chapter one. As always please read and review.
