Hey! Told you I could update sooner! Sorry that Artemis is kinda out of character in this, I just wanted to make her a little different in this story. Oh, and the whole chapter is in Wally's point of view. Anyway...Here is the next chapter.
We walked into a small patch of woods. Artemis made a ticking sound with her mouth and I saw a rustling in the bushes. Out came a little animal. I had no idea what it was. (Link on profile for pictures of all the animals.)
Artemis sat down and I did the same. The animals here must really like her, because it came right up to her and sat on her lap.
She scratched it's small head. She snapped her fingers in my direction and it came over and went on my lap.
"Try scratching his head. It will make him less scared to be around us. And by the way, his name is Sammy." she said. I scratched his head but he tried to run away. Artemis grabbed him and put him back on my lap.
"Do it like this, he gets scared any other way." she explained. She took my hand and moved my fingers on Sammy's head.
"Okay, stay like that for a minute for I can run and get his food." she told me.
"K. What does Sammy eat anyway?" I asked.
"You'll see." she said smiling, as if she made a joke I didn't get.
"Can't you give me a hint?" I asked.
"Just did." she said as she ran off. Sammy looked in the direction she ran off in. Sammy then looked up at me and crawled up my shoulder. Artemis came back a minute or two later.
She had rubber gloves on her hands, a bucket in one hand, and a pair of rubber gloves in the other hand.
"Put these on. Sammy will stay now because he smells the food." she said. I noticed her hair was down. It looked nice down. WHAT AM I SAYING! This is Artemis we are taking about.
I put the rubber gloves on and set Sammy on the ground.
"What is in the bucket?" I asked. She smiled.
"Raw chicken." she replied. I took another look. It was slimy, chicken. She laughed.
"Sammy may be small but he eats A LOT." she said. She stuck her hands into the chicken. She looked at me to tell me to do it also. I put my hands into it.
I mimicked her every move. I put my hand down and Sammy started to eat out of it.
"It tickles." I said mostly to myself.
"Yeah... I kinda got use't to it." she said.
"Does the team know you do this?" I asked.
"Ollie does. I'm pretty sure Batman and Black Canary do too. Ollie makes sure I don't have any missions until I'm done here." she say.
I always though Artemis was a good hero to humans, but with animals too? I would never admit this to her, but I think she is my new favorite hero.
"I got my friend to play with Koho earlier this morning, so we still have to play with the rest of my animals." she said. She picked up Sammy and began to walk to the gate.
Di - Robin started talking into my mic.
"Yo dude, where are you?" he asked.
Sammy whimpered and used his paws over his ears.
"Wally! Turn it off! It is hurting Sammy's ears!" Artemis shouted.
"Sorry dude, can't talk now. Explain later." I said to Robin. I turned it off and Sammy looked up. I laughed. Who knew that hurt his ears so much.
"Thank you." Artemis said.
"Why are you bringing him out here?" I asked.
"Sammy doesn't have a favorite toy. He plays with something else." she said. Before she opened the gate she shouted.
"KATIE!"
"WHAT!" a voice shouted from the gate closest to ours.
"SAMMY WANTS TO PLAY!" Artemis shouted again. A girl came out of the other gate, I'm guessing she was Katie.
"You see, Sammy has a brother named Sydney. HE is Sammy's favorite toy." Artemis explained as she gave Sammy to Katie.
"And let me guess, you don't own Sydney and Katie does so every time they want to play Katie brings Sammy over to play with Sydney." I said.
"Maybe you aren't that stupid." she said laughing.
"Time to go meet Sonic and Echo." she said.
There is the next chapter! I will put each link up when the chapter goes up. Koho and Sammy will already be on my profile. Anyway, BYE!
