A better life chapter three
Summary: what if Artemis gets de-aged into a one year old and needs to grow up all over again and she doesn't remember anything from her first life. What will her life look like without the pain? How will the team react?
Warning: English isn't my first language, so there may be some grammar mistakes.
Roy, Dinah, Ollie and the now two year old Artemis were at the playground, Artemis was trying to build a sandcastle while Dinah and Ollie went to the supermarket so they can have a family picnic. Roy was in charge of watching Artemis while they were gone.
Dinah and Ollie stopped bringing Artemis to the cave because they decited to raise Artemis without the hero part. The team of course was not happy about it but they understood it was for Artemis' own good.
"Awwh, what a beautiful sandcastle you made little girl. Now get out of my sandbox." A ten year old boy said as he stepped on Artemis' sandcastle.
Artemis started to cry and Roy rushed over to see what was happening "What's going on here?"
"That boy… my sandcaswle." Artemis tried to say through her tears but Roy understood what she said.
"So you think it's cool to bully two year olds. Well you messed with the wrong girl, nobody makes my little sister cry without getting a beat down from me, is that clear." Roy said as he grabbed the boy by the collar. They nodded his head in fear. "Good now go, oh and next time I see you near my sister, I will come after you." The boy ran away and Roy turned to Artemis who still had tears in her eyes "How about I help you build a new sandcastle."
Roy and Artemis spend an hour in the sand building a sandcastle when Dinah and Ollie returned from the supermarket. "How
cute, Roy spending time with his baby sister in a sandbox. Ollie get the camera." Dinah joked.
"Mommy look at the beauwitful sandcaswle." Artemis said proudly.
Dinah was about to response when someone tapped her on her shoulder "excuse me but are these two your children?"
Dinah turned around and saw the ten year old boy with his mother "Yes, why?"
"Well your son has threatened my son. And you let him do that unpunished, unbelievable" The woman said.
Dinah and Ollie turned to Roy. Ollie sighed "Why did you do that, Roy"
"Well he made Artemis cry for no reason. She was just playing in the sand when he came and kicked over her sandcastle and ordered her to get out of the sandbox. I just defended Artemis." Roy said as he glared at the boy.
Dinah picked up Artemis "Well I am sorry but Roy is eighteen so I am not going to punish him for something so childish. He was just protecting his little sister. Now excuse us but we are going to have a picnic." Dinah said as Ollie, Roy and she walked away.
"Roy, you know you can't threaten someone just because Artemis cried but I understand why you did it." Dinah said the last part with a smile.
"Mommy, I am thiwtsty, can I have something to dwink please." Artemis said when Dinah sat Artemis on the ground.
"Of course, here you go." Dinah said as she gave Artemis a glass of apple juice.
"So Roy did you go to the cave yesterday?" Ollie said when he grabbed a sandwich.
"Yeah, Wally still won't look at me but you know Wally." Roy said and took a sip of his drink.
"I know what you mean Roy, when I came in to train them last week, Wally were giving me looks. The rest of the team seems to understand why we stopped bringing her over, everyone except Wally." Dinah said.
They spent the whole day at the park, playing with eachother. They went back to the manor six o'clock. Artemis fell asleep in the car.
"Well looks like Artemis is done for today." Dinah said when she looked in the mirror and saw Artemis fast asleep in her green car seat.
"Yeah it was a long day for her. We need to do those more often, don't you think Roy." Oliver said as he drived into the drive way.
"It was okay, I guess. It's still weird to have little sister." Roy said and he picked up Artemis from her car seat and walked inside.
Dinah and Oliver walked inside just as Roy walked down the stairs with a disgusted look on his face "Umm, while I love being the big brother, I am not chancing her diapers. Shouldn't she be potty trained by now."
Oliver laughed "I will take care of that" and with that Oliver walked to Artemis' room "Hey baby, let's give you a bath." Oliver said when he saw that Artemis was awake again.
"Daddy, I love you." Artemis said as she snuggled into Oliver' arms.
Oliver looked down and smiled "I love you too, now miss stinky pants, let's go to the bathroom."
Fifteen minutes later Artemis and a completely soaked Ollie walked down stairs. Dinah was the first one to notice the wet Oliver "What happened to you. Did you fall in the bath tub or something?"
Oliver gave her a look "No, it's just that Artemis kept splashing me with water. So next time you give her a bath."
"Can you sing me a song please" Artemis asked.
"Of course sweetie, but what song?" Dinah asked as he put Artemis on her lap
Artemis looked at her "Twinkle Twinkle little staw?"
"Alright, here we go"
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon.
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are!
When Dinah was finished, Artemis was fast asleep on her lap but she also heard snoring form the chair next to her and saw that Roy and Ollie were both fast asleep as well. "Men" she said as she carried Artemis to her room and laid in her crib. After that she went straight to bed, not even bothering to wake Roy and Ollie.
I know this is a bit of a short chapter. And I am sorry I didn't post a new chapter last week, I was busy with my school work. Please review if you liked it or if you have Idea's for this story.
