Hi guys. Sorry it took me so long to get this out. But anyway,

ENJOY

Artemis grinned as she watched her teammates arrive in the kitchen slowly. She couldn't wait to show them what she did with Green Arrow. And Wally would finally see how difficult archery actually was! The thought made her smirk.

She and Green Arrow were in the Mission room, setting up targets and discussing what they would do.

"I'm thinking target practice, hand to hand combat and some moving targets. Maybe shooting at each other? With trainee arrows, of course..." Green Arrow said.

"What about patrol?" Artemis asked.

"Arty, we never have patrol on Wednesday. You know that."

"Yeah, but..."

"Anyway, nothing's really happened in Star. I haven't had any calls for a little while. Besides, you need to save energy for Saturday." Green Arrow laughed.

Artemis groaned. "Don't remind me."

When they had set up the bows and targets, Green Arrow announced.

"Team, meet me at the Training Room."

A few moments later, most of the Team had piled into the Training room.

Green Arrow frowned. "Where's Robin?"

Wally shrugged. "I dunno. Batman called him back to Gotham last night, and he hasn't come back yet."

As if on cue, Robin stumbled through the zeta-tube as it announced 'Robin, B01'.

"Dude, are you okay?" Wally zipped towards the younger boy.

"Yeah," Robin panted. "We were on patrol... Riddler attacked and Batman and I... He got caught and I had to... Commissioner Gordon... Burglaries... Murders... Then I went to the Batcave and realised it was training... It was late... 'M sorry..."

Green Arrow placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm really sorry, Green Arrow, please don't-"

"Tell Batman? Don't worry, kid. You sure you're okay? You look exhausted."

Robin grinned while stifling a yawn. "'M fine."

"Okay, then. Team, as you know, I am Green Arrow, Artemis' mentor. Artemis and I specialise in archery, which is actually harder than it looks. I'm sure you'll find that out pretty soon." Green Arrow and Artemis shared a smirk. "Okay, so everyone grab a bow. Robin, there's a slightly smaller bow for you since you're so much shorter than everyone else."

Robin gave Green Arrow such a powerful Batglare that the archer visibly flinched. He smirked with satisfaction as he went to grab his 'slightly smaller' bow.

"Okay, guys, try to hit the bullseye on the targets, I assume you know the drill?" Green Arrow asked.

Wally rolled his eyes. "Yeah, hit the circle as much as possible. C'mon, it can't be that difficult."

"Okay," Artemis shoved a bow into his arms. "Try it."

"Fine," Wally grumbled, readying the bow. He placed an arrow by the string and pulled back. The arrow shot through the air but then drooped, landing nose first in the ground, about meter from the actual target. Wally yelped and clutched his cheek. "The string hit me! Ow ow ow!"

His cheek was turning an unfortunate red.

Green Arrow laughed. "It's just whiplash, Wally. Don't pull the string so closed to your cheek. Experts can, but I would advise beginners not to."

Artemis snickered. "Like this, Baywatch." Artemis pulled bar hand back, let go with a snap and her arrow sailed towards the target, right in the bullseye.

Wally turned red.

"May I have a go?" Kaldur asked.

Green Arrow nodded, and Kaldur positioned the bow. Green Arrow adjusted Kaldur's elbow slightly.

"It has to be a right angle," he said.

Kaldur pulled the string and let it go, and the arrow zipped straight past the target and buried itself in the wall. Kaldur reddened slightly.

"I am not very good at this," he said.

Green Arrow laughed. "No worries. Robin, would you care to go next?"

"Of course," Robin bowed mockingly. He cackled as he let the arrow fly, hitting the target a little to the left of the centre.

"Not bad," Artemis complimented.

Robin grinned. "Not too different from the bat-a-rangs."

Superboy went next, grumbling about how using fists was way easier and arrows were stupid. His foul mood was soon extinguished when he hit the target reasonably well, and a genuine smile was quirked on his lips.

"Great job!" Green Arrow clapped him on his back.

Superboy just grinned happily.

Next up was M'gann, who was obviously very nervous. Artemis gave her an award winning smile (which actually really hurt her face) to attempt to reassure her friend. She and M'gann had gotten really very close, being the only girls on the Team and all. M'gann pulled back the bowstring and placed the arrow. Artemis shook her head.

"No, M'gann, look. You have to put the arrow between the nocking points, and the index feather here, has to be on the opposite side of the bowstring. There you go."

A look of pride filled Green Arrow's eyes.

M'gann pulled back the string, and after Artemis quickly adjusted her fingers she let it shoot through the arrow, and the tip embedded itself in the first white line of the target. The Martian looked slightly disappointed.

"Hey," Artemis said, placing a hand on her shoulder. "That's a pretty good first shot. Especially since you've never even touched a bow before."

"Yeah, don't worry Ms. M. At least it actually hit the target," Robin jerked his head towards the still rather embarrassed looking Wally.

The group laughed.

This went on for about the next hour and a half, each member improving their aim, congratulating themselves in nearly hitting the bullseye - or in some cases, hitting the target at all (Kaldur and Wally were seriously struggling).

Eventually Green Arrow raised his hand, signalling to stop.

"Okay, you're all doing surprisingly good! Great job! Well... most of you, at least." He shot a glance at Kid Flash, who hadn't managed to hit the target once, much to Artemis' amusement. The redhead scowled at the Leaguer. "So, we're gonna stop this exercise for now, and continue later. Now you're going to practice hand to hand combat."

The Team shrugged. That was okay; they did that almost every with Black Canary.

"Against me." Green Arrow finished.

"WHAT?!" Wally exploded. "You're a freakin' Leaguer! There's no way we could beat you!"

Artemis smirked. "This is my daily routine. Deal with it, Kid Idiot."

Kaldur frowned. "I do not wish to object to your orders, sir, but do you not think this is slightly unreasonable?"

Green Arrow chuckled. "You fight with Black Canary, don't you?"

Kaldur opened his mouth to reply, but then seemed to realise something. "Oh. Yes. My apologies sir,"

"No worries. Anyway, you wanna go first?"

Kaldur nodded.

The two heroes took their places, with the Team watching curiously. Nobody except Artemis knew how good Green Arrow was at hand to hand combat, without his arrows. Green Arrow suddenly leapt forward, swinging his right fist at Kaldur. Kaldur swiftly blocked, and sent a kick at the Leaguers left side, which he had left unguarded. But the archer swiftly jumped to the side and caught Kaldur's wrist and flung the teenager over his shoulder, sending him slamming into the ground. The Atlantian groaned.

'Aqualad: FAIL' a red circle appeared around him.

"Good fight," Green Arrow grinned. "Expect the unexpected."

Artemis rolled her eyes at her mentor.

This continued for a while, Miss. Martian going out in a similar way to Kaldur, Wally getting beaten in the first two seconds. Again. After a little bit, the Team began to work out Oliver's fighting style, and so it was becoming more and more difficult for him to take them out, though he could still do it. At least, that was until Robin came along.

Artemis had just finished, she and Green Arrow had sparred for around ten minutes before the older man swept her off her feet. But she had smiled at the Leaguer, and he had smiled back.

"Great job, Arty! Way better than last time! Just remember, stay light on your feet." He helped her up and looked round. "Okay, one left. Robin."

The male archer frowned with slight distaste at the idea of having to fight a Bat. He knew Dick very well, and had fought him multiple times before. And the boy had beaten him. So he didn't really want to fight Robin, as he would probably get severely embarrassed in front of his sidekick - sorry, partner - and her Team.

Robin cackled slightly and grinned a shit eating grin at Ollie.

"Asterous."

Green Arrow bent his knees and took a fighting stance. Robin, as usual, didn't do anything. He just stood there.

Kaldur frowned. "Robin, you are going to fight."

"I know."

"Then why are you-"

"Hey," Wally interrupted. He had seen Robin do this to plenty of the Leaguers up at the Watchtower when they were training. "He knows what he's doing. Don't mess him up,"

Green Arrow jumped at Robin and attempted a low kick, which Robin happily dodged with a back spring. This continued for a rather long time, Green Arrow kicking and punching, and Boy Wonder dancing away cheerfully, grinning and cackling. Ollie was beginning to get tired. He would never admit it, of course, but it was true. Leaping after the younger boy who seemed to somersault tirelessly was exhausting. And he knew Robin knew that. Green Arrow tried to sweep the boy off his feet and failed, but spun round to try and locate him. And he was nowhere to be seen. Well, not in Ollie's eyes. He was sure the Team knew where he was. He twisted round again, but Robin wasn't there. Suddenly, he felt feet on his back, and Robin sailed over over his head, cackling his signature cackle, and karate chopped the left side of his neck.

And suddenly Green Arrow was falling.

"How many times have I told you to not use me as a springboard!?" The archer wailed as he collapsed.

Robin loomed over the Leaguer, grinning. Ollie tried to stand up, but found he couldn't. He tried to move his legs, but the muscles wouldn't do so much as twitch.

He was paralysed.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?" Green Arrow howled.

Artemis, Wally and Robin burst out laughing, while Kaldur looked amused but shocked at his teammates disrespect, M'gann looked concerned, and Superboy just confused.

"Relax," Robin snickered. "It's just a pressure-point. It'll wear off in a few minutes."

So Oliver Queen, Green Arrow, Leaguer, had to lie there, seething with fury and embarrassment as his partner and her Team laughed at him. Laughed at him! Even Kaldur, who was the freakin' prince of following orders. Green Arrow growled at them, but the teens just burst into more fits of groaned inwardly. Oh, Flash was so gonna have his head for this!

Sorry if Green Arrow seems a little exaggerated, I kinda had a little fun with him and Robin... heh heh... Anyway, I'll see you soon with Thursday with the Speedsters!

Please, FF&R!
