Who Loves Artemis Now?

Back by popular demand!
And lack of Traught fics.
I fixed somethings in the first chapter so reread that if you want.

I was awoken by the sound of Dick's phone. He was still holding me against his chest. I didn't let him know I was awake, but he was a bat so he might have known anyway.

"Wally?" he answered. I hid my head into his chest, not wanting to hear Wally's voice. "I could have told you that was coming." I just listened to the sound of Dick's voice. Not the words being said, just the sound. "You looked everywhere?" Dick shot me a glance and his eyes softened. "No she's not here. I wouldn't worry Wally. She's a big girl and can take care of herself." I hugged Dick in thanks. "Alright, yeah, talk to you later." Dick hung up and hugged me back. "Are you feeling any better?"

"A little I guess." Dick nodded and kissed my head. "So what did he want?"

"Turns out he felt really bad about how he handled it and wanted to make sure you were all right. He searched all of Keystone and Central for you," Dick answered.

"Sorry about how he handled it; not the outcome," I clarified. Dick just nodded. I was glad he didn't say he was sorry for me. I didn't want pity and sorry doesn't bring people back. Dick knew that better than I did. I sighed. "Now I'm sad again. Make me breakfast," I ordered.

Dick laughed. "But, Arty, it's 11:33," he argued after looking at the clock. My heart swelled after he said 'Arty'. It just sounded right when it came from him.

"I don't care," I told him, shaking my head, hair whipping in my face. My long hair was coming out of its ponytail. "There's always time for chocolate pancakes," I told him.

Dick reached his hand behind my head a softly touched my hair tie. He grasped it and gently pulled it all the way out. My hair was only an inch or two shorter than it was when I was 16. It fell down around me and would go to my waist if I stood up. "Your hair looks pretty down," he told me softly. His hand was still behind my head. We stared at each other's eyes for a long moment. I felt myself getting lost in his blue eyes. His hand cupped the back of my head and pulled me closer. I closed my eyes in anticipation.

"Master Richard?" a voice called from the front door.

I smirked slightly as Dick's hand dropped, "Go get changed or Alfred will jump to conclusions," I told Dick as I got up.

Dick blushed. "At least now you can have a real breakfast," he told me. I smiled at him as he walked out. Despite the almost two year age difference, Dick was always there for me and taking care of me. That meant more to me now than ever. I changed out of my wrinkled clothes into something more comfortable. I was now wearing a white tank top and gray sweat pants. I looked in the mirror. My hair was still down. I was about to put it up again when I thought about what Dick had said. "Your hair looks pretty down." Wally had always liked my hair up. I threw the hair tie in the trash. From now on, I was going to wear my hair down.

There was a knock on my door. I opened it to find Dick standing there with a grin on his face. I swear that little troll is always happy. I could see that the only difference in his appearance was that he now had on a grey t-shirt.

I held back a smile and stretched out my arms to him. "Carry me," I commanded.

Dick sighed. "You're really gonna drag this out aren't you?" he asked playful as he put me on his back.

"Hey, I'm sad and I feel that that entitles me to be carried around for a while," I told him as a nuzzled my head into his neck.

"What happened to Alfred jumping to conclusions?" He asked back.

"We're properly clothed," I pointed out to him. "Now feed me."

Dick laughed as we entered the kitchen. Alfred was sitting at the table drinking tea.

"Oh, Master Richard, I thought you were out when you didn't answer," Alfred said surprised when he saw us.

"No I was just talking with Arty, she came over a few hours ago," Dick told him. Dick turned and let me slide into one of the chairs at the table and then went over to pour two more cups of tea. I brushed my hair behind my ear.

"How was your trip, Alfred?" I asked politely.

"It was wonderful. It was so nice to see my niece again," Alfred said happily. "Any specific reason for your visit Miss Artemis?" he asked me.

I sighed, trying to decide whether or not to tell him. I decided against it and just said that Dick promised to make me pancakes. Dick glared lightly at me as he handed me my tea.

"Well isn't that nice," Alfred said, smiling at Dick. "If you'd like Master Richard, I could help you."

"Alfred, I'm not gonna blow up the kitchen like Bruce," Dick whined, "But I would love your help."

Needless to say, breakfast was delicious.

Sorry, I got stuck. But I will write more :)

I was trying to decide how upset Artemis would be about the break up. I settled on her having already known it wasn't working with Wally for the past month and the only reason she cried when she got to Dick's is because she had just ended it. But now she's with Dick and it's hard not to be happy around him. So if she turns around too fast, sorry, this is just how I see it.
