W/n READ THIS!
Okay so I would like to apologize to you about the last 2 chapters, Conner doesn't really have any dramatic memories or whatever, since he's not even a year old, and the team knew him for most of that. My excuse for Kaldur's chapter, I wasn't comfortable with that one since I knew very little about him (most of my knowledge came from Wikipedia which isn't the most reliable source). This chapter and onward will be a lot more detailed since I know more about the characters backgrounds.
P.S. the first Artemis and Jade scene is from the episode Home front if you would like to see it.
Declaimer: if I owned young justice would I be waiting this long to see an episode on Robins past? No, I wouldn't so I don't!
Suddenly Artemis didn't feel too happy any more . . .
Artemis
The green light faded, revealing a small room. Two beds sat in the middle of said room, their headboards leaned against the wall. A small girl, maybe nine, sat on one of the beds as a girl, a few years older, was packing a small backpack. The younger girl, who was clutching a teddy bear to her chest, had long blond hair which was up in a pony tail, tanned skin, and gray eyes. The older girl shared similar Vietnamese features but her hair was black.
"Is that your older sister?" Megan asked the blond archer. Artemis nodded and watched as the blond hair girl spoke.
"We have to keep this family from falling apart." The older girl stopped packing and turned around to look at her younger sister. Just when it seemed like she was going to say something important and heart warm, she said,
"Toothbrush, duh!" she slapped her forehead before walking away, "Knew I was forgetting somethin'." Little Artemis glanced down at the ground, trying to find another reason to keep her sister from leaving.
"Dad will come after you." Jade walked over to the small duffle bag on her bed and set the toothbrush into it before zipping the zipper.
"Let him," she turned and gave Artemis a determined look. "I'll disappear, like the Cheshire cat." She slipped on a baseball cap and slung the bag onto her shoulder. She headed to the door, her little sister followed her, still clutching the small stuffed animal in her arms. "You should get out to."
"What is she talking about Arty?" Artemis didn't try to correct him on her name; she was too focused on the memory at hand.
"I would let you come with me, but you would slow me down."
"Someone has to be here when mom gets out." Little Artemis said, her voice was as determined as Jade's had been just seconds before but it also held maturity in the thought of her mother being left alone, and without the ability to walk. Jade scowled at her sister.
"Haven't you learned anything?"
"What did you mean by 'someone needs to be here when mom gets back' is she in jail?" Artemis just nodded numbly.
"In this family, it's every girl for herself." Jade closed the door behind her. Artemis fell to her knees and stared at the ground blankly, no emotion displayed on her face.
'Emotion is a weakness, something that just gets in the way." Her father had told her. "Artemis?" the scene changed, Artemis was older, just a two year or three younger than their Artemis. Her father, no, sports master stood in front of her. They were in a dark warehouse, the only light came from the flittering moonlight that shined through the broken windows. Little Artemis was covered in scraps, scars, bruises, and dried blood. Her father snarled at the girl.
"You failed the exercises miserably." He muttered through clenched teeth.
"Sorry father." She said, her voice still holding no emotion, her face conveying none of the pain she felt.
"F-FATHER!" the team screeched.
"Yes, sp-sports master is my father."
"But-but we've fought him, and you never saw the need to tell us!"
"It never came up, and Kaldur's in the same boat." Artemis snapped, the team just stared at her.
"This will be your last exercise for the night." He whistled and a man ran in, a young woman, maybe her mid-twenties, screamed and hollered in his grasp. She was tied by her hands and feet and was sat down in a chair in front of Artemis. Sports master tossed a knife at the girl, who caught it flawlessly, "Kill her." He commanded.
The team silently watched as Artemis examined the knife in her hand, then the woman. She slowly took a step closer, then another. Soon the girl stood directly in front of the frightened woman, she held up the knife, readying herself to kill the innocent person. She stood like that for a moment, then two before sighing and letting her hand drop to her side, the team let out a puff of air they hadn't realized they had been holding.
"I-I can't do it." She slowly backed away from the woman, the knife slipped out of her palm and crashed onto the hard floor. The sound echoed around the open space of the warehouse.
"What was that?"
"I c-can't do it." She said again, she continued to walk backwards as her father and the man stepped closer to her, a murderous glint in their eyes.
"Did you just disobey a direct order from your own father?" Artemis was now just a few feet away from a large hanger door. She did the only thing she could think of, the only thing that seemed to be an option, she ran.
The green light surrounded them again before it pulled away to join its fellow orbs. The team stood speechless at what they had just seen. Sports master was Artemis's father, Artemis was sports masters' daughter, they were fucking flesh and blood! Artemis just stared at the bobbing orbs as they danced around them. "I'm sorry." She whipped her eyes, "I'm sorry for not telling you, I just, I just," she took a deep breath and sighed, "I guess I just wanted you guys to except me, and not judge me because of my father." Megan was the first to come out of her daze and hugged Artemis.
"It's okay! We won't judge you for your father, right guys?" the guys nodded. Artemis smiled at them; never had she thought they would take it so well.
"After this though, we really need to talk about this." He smile dropped, great, more 'counseling' with Black Canary, yippee!
"Sooo, who's next?" The yellow orb floated quickly to them, as if it couldn't wait to share its owners past.
W/n okay guess who's chapter's next! - Guhhh I can't wait!
