==En Route to the Police Station.
Ollie and Dinah had taken their own car so that they had a way to get back. Plus, Dinah wanted to have a talk with Ollie.
"So, who's this Nguyen woman?" Dinah asked, non-chalantly.
"Artemis? I haven't a clue." Ollie shrugged.
'You know what I mean." Dinah insisted.
"There was a woman, named Jade Nguyen, before I met you, and we kind of had our little fun, both of us alone-"
"Ok, get the picture Ollie. So you guys had a kid, and you never told me?" Dinah hit the matter home.
"No! I had no idea about this! I would've insisted on raising the kid if I had known!" Ollie countered.
"Let's see what Jade has to say." Dinah replied, not very kindly. In fact, Dinah was sort of jealous of Jade.
"Fine, but don't worry, there was nothing and won't be permanent ok? We find out if Jade has any more family members and send Artemis there." Ollie reassured.
"No way Queen. You're going to take care of your kid! She deserves a better family than she had with that woman!" Dinah was persistent, that's for sure.
"Fine, we'll figure this out. It might not even be her! Nguyen is a pretty common name you know! And the figure last night most definitely didn't resemble her." Ollie theorized.
They had entered the police station parking lot, and they parked their car in the empty space Ralph pointed to. The two got out of the car and made their way to the station.
"Alright, I don't want anything to do with this soap opera, so you guys figure out your problems, and for that we're giving you a room completely out of circuit, alright? Just knock on the door three times to get out. Understood?" Ralph explained, as he led Ollie and Dinah down to the room in question. As they arrived at the door, he opened it and drily muttered "Enjoy."
==In the cell
Jade wondered why the hell she was dragged here. She had already given her confession, and knew that in some time, the League of Shadows would break her out. She would then take Artemis back from whatever sorry place they put her in, and continue training her.
The door opened, and light spilt in, not revealing who the two people entering were.
"Hmm, didn't have enough questioning yesterday?" Jade seductively asked.
The door closed, letting Jade see who were her visitors. Suffice it to say, Ollie and Jade were pale, very pale, when their gazes met.
Dinah just rolled her eyes. "Listen, we're only here to ask you one thing: that girl Artemis, why did you send her to us?"
"What? To you?" Jade was confused, she never put Ollie down as an emergency family member, did she?"
"Yeah to us! Your wonderful daughter was sent to us." Dinah growled.
"She is Ollie's kid as well, in case you haven't noticed." Jade smirked, remembering that she did put Ollie there, as revenge for him ditching her.
"You-you never told me...we had a, a kid." Ollie stuttered out.
"Hmm, why should I? You were looking for a one-night stand, and you never bothered to come back, so I didn't want to trouble you." Jade grinned, looking very much like the Cheshire cat she is. One thing is for sure, Jade didn't miss a beat in gaining the upper hand.
"Trouble me is one thing. But to neglect to mention that I may be the father to a child is another matter!" Ollie thundered.
"Because you'd have totally ditched blondie here to raise Artemis?" Jade scoffed.
" I would offer some kind of support. Anyway, you've done enough. From now on, I'm taking guardianship of Artemis." Ollie countered.
"Really G.A.? You planning on converting her to one of your League zombies, is that it?" Jade smirked. "She's not a simple minded girl."
"I don't give a damn Ches. I'm going to be a parent to her. Something I'm sure you never were!" Ollie hissed.
Jade felt like she was slapped in the face. "Now you've truly broken my heart Ollie. For your information, I was a better parent to her than you'll ever be!"
Dinah decided to intervene before these two started ripping each other to shreds. "You know what, just shove it. We're taking Artemis and that's it. Come on Ollie, we're leaving this chick."
After the two left, and Jade was back in her cell, some tears was shed, for deep down, she would truly miss her daughter.
==Later on that day
Artemis had managed to get her bag upstairs no problem, and was now staring at the ceiling. There had to be a mistake, some kind of sick joke. The Shadows must have wanted to kill Queen for some reason, and her failure to comply with that must have led to the Shadows messing around the system to give her another chance. She would not lose this opportunity.
She decided to explore the house, seeing as she shouldn't take this chance for granted. She got up from her bed and started to walk around. She came upon Roy practising shooting arrows.
"So Jeeves, you practise archery as well?" Artemis sneered. "You planning on going out as Green Arrow or something for Halloween?"
Roy cringed. "Listen kid, I at least know how to use this. So step away, and leave me be."
"Damn Jeeves, you stick one of those arrows up your ass or something? And for your information, I can too use this. So why don't you just shove it!" Artemis glared at Roy.
"Prove it Robin Hood." Roy smirked, bowing out of the way.
Artemis got into position with her bow and arrow, poised to strike. That pose brought up a memory to Roy, but he pushed it away. She was about to let go of the string, when she jumped out her skin as a voice questioned. "What the hell is going on here?"
Artemis's arrow went haywire, landing on the other side of the room.
"You were saying Hood?" Roy smirked.
"Shut up Jeeves!" Artemis glared.
"I repeat, what the hell is going on here?" Ollie spoke up again, louder.
"Our little guest here thought herself a Robin Hood of sorts." Roy chuckled.
"Because Jeeves here is so strung up, he can't bear the thought of being beaten by a girl." Artemis reprimanded.
"Because I totally planned for him to come in-" Roy started
"ENOUGH!" Ollie stormed. "Listen to you two, you're like an old married couple." The two teens gagged at the thought. "You better get used to each other, because Artemis is staying here."
"Come again? Why in the world do I have to listen to you?" Artemis snorted.
"Because-" Ollie started.
"Because we're offering you a roof over your head, and it'd be better than being stuck in an orphanage, I wager." Dinah interrupted, coming in.
"I'll be in my room." Artemis grumbled, leaving.
"She didn't take that lightly." Dinah smirked.
"So, care to let me know what the hell is going on here?" Roy exclaimed.
"Ollie here had an affair many years ago, and guess who's the result of that." Dinah grinned.
"No way! She's your-" Roy blanched as he saw who had been eavesdropping, all humour dropped from his voice.
"You're my father? You're an asshole you know that!" Artemis screeched.
"Artemis, look, I didn't even know you existed till some hours ago! Blame your mother for that! Not me! I would've raised you had I known you existed." Ollie countered, trying to defend himself.
"I doubt that." Artemis scoffed.
Like mother, like daughter. Ollie mused. "Listen, why don't we start over?"
Artemis got a super cheery and fake happy voice. " Sure dad! Nice to meet you! Go to hell!"
Dinah chortled as she tried to hold in her laughter. Roy was repulsed by the scene, and left, grumbling.
"Come on Artemis, just give me a chance." Ollie asked.
"Fine, when hell freezes over!" Artemis stormed out of the room.
"That went well." Dinah smirked.
"Because you can do so much better?" Ollie questioned.
"Watch." Dinah snickered, leaving.
==In Artemis's room
Artemis was beyond pissed. Now she had to live with these idiots? One of them being her estranged father? Life must really hate her. And now she could hardly go in for the kill with him, because deep down, she was curious about Ollie, and Dinah was right, here would be tons better than at an orphanage. The League of Shadows would need to find someone else for this, since she was taking a break from all of that, for now.
Her thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking on the door. "Go away!"
"Artemis, come on, I just want to talk, girl to girl!" Dinah's voice came from the other side of the door.
Artemis groaned as she got up from the bed, and unlocked the door, letting the older woman in.
"What do you want?" Artemis growled.
"Listen, I know that it may be hard for you to adjust, but Ollie's a nice guy, just give him a chance. Give him a chance to be your father." Dinah said.
"Right. I'll tolerate him, that's all. I'll give him a chance eventually, but I won't start calling him dad, that's for sure!" Artemis scoffed.
Some nice Roy/Artemis moments ;) I had Roy call Artemis, Hood, because Robin would be too much of a reference to well, Robin :P
And Artemis is really not liking the situation she's in :P
And next chapter, we will start overlapping with YJ show! Including Infiltrator!
So get ready for that!
If you guys have any questions, don't be afraid to ask!
Please review!
