Hey, guys I've had intense testing and Christmas (annoying relatives) and a very traumatic experience. Sorry for the long wait. Sorry.

Just as we left it. Artemis thought as she arrived. The Safe House was one of the nicer ones her family has. Just outside of Gotham, out of sight from all major roads. The cottage had a cozy feel with a red door and blue window shudders. Artemis turned and watched the cab drive away, then turned toward the dirt path up to the house.
Artemis put her thumb on the doorbell. A little vibration went into her thumb. WelcomeTigressthe annoying computer said. Growling at the computer for saying that horrible name, Artemis entered the house, slamming the door behind her.
Dropping her bag she collapsed on the nearest couch. The events of the last days finally crashed on her. Silently crying for all the things she has lost her mom, her friends who she had considered family, Wally who she admits was the only boy to ever get close to her heart and her mentor who was starting to become a father figure of sorts for her. She started remembering her father's words "Your a Crock, you are a survivor and will do whatever it takes to survive!" As sleep started to take her she whispered "What am I going to do?
Back at the Cave
Roy was standing in the middle of the cave giving the Sidekicks weird looks. "So you kicked off Artemis because you had a tantrum and now you want me to go find her?"
"We didn't have a TANTRUM we were exposed to a chemical compound called A.N.G.E.R which means All No Good Energy Released duhhhh!" yelled a frustrated Wally.
Aqualad sighed "The chemical pretty much makes you angry and cruel to anyone or anything around you. But it is mostly my fault she is gone if I had been the leader the Team needs then we wouldn't be in this mess."
"Oh no you don't! I was the one who suggested we kick her off the team" Miss M retorted. She was still crying even though it has been hours.
"Will you stop arguing about who got rid of Artemis, you guys are ridiculous. I haven't got all day" Roy said.
The team hung their heads in shame, mentally kicking themselves for being so stupid.
Batman decided to finally speak up after watching the exchange. "Roy we need you to find Artemis, she could be in terrible danger and the Team needs to apologize to her. While using his famous bat glare on Robin for being so careless.
Roy shifted back and forth on his feet. He didn't really want to admit that he was worried about Artemis too. The team just looked so devastated. The team had no more light in their eyes. It almost seemed worse then the "Simulation" they went through. Because this time one of them has disappeared and it's their fault. Roy finally responded "Well I work alone. What's in it for me?"
Batman looked at Roy "You will get a grand tour of the Watchtower. This mission is to see if you can handle playing in the "Big Leagues". If you succeed then you might get into the Justice League."
Roy to occupied in his own dream world about being on the League to notice the might. "I accept but do you have any idea where she could have gone?"
Batman just smirked "Figure it out for yourself." Then Batman being his dramatic self, left the cave with a swish of his cape.
Leaving Roy and the Team just stared where he had been. "Well we better try to find her." Roy stated
"Oh no you don't you are by yourself mister "I work alone". The we will try to find her ourselves." Robin explained.
Back to Artemis
Artemis woke up from her restless sleep on the couch to hear a rustling coming from the kitchen. Artemis froze in fear. How did he find me so fast? I covered all my tracks, I'm sure of it. She grabbed the spare knife in kept in her boot and pulled it out slowly. She pecked over the back of the couch to see a figure with its back to her looking through the cabinets. Only instead of seeing short blond hair of her father she saw long blonde hair. HER old long blonde hair! What the world? The girl, well she hoped it was a girl was clad in skin tight black leather with little orange stripes all over it. It or should she say she, since no man could fit in that suit found my old suit! I should have burned it when I had the chance. And you have thought it was Artemis if not for the piercing blue eyes. Wait those eyes, it's the girl from the hair dressers.
The girl not realizing Artemis had woken up, kept looking through the cabinets mumbling "Where is it? Where is it?" under her breath.
Now you see Artemis was ready to crack she's been rejected, she motherless, and now she has a fudging Poser in her "Safe House." So with an anger to match Superboys, she took her knife and gracefully jumped from behind the couch. She rolled to the wall just separating the kitchen and living room, ninja style. Artemis was ready to cause some pain and the poor girl in the kitchen was going to get it! Artemis then launched herself from behind the wall. Into a front flip and using the poser as a spring board with Artemis's feet hitting the girl in the shoulder blades. Now you may not know it but that is no small feat. The girl fell to the floor with a scream of surprise and pain. The girl was now face down and with Artemis putting all her weight on her shoulder blades. Artemis squatted down and pinned the girl while taking her utility belt too. She though the belt across the room so she wouldn't have to worry about it. Taking her mini-crossbow out of her pocket she jammed her foam arrow into the girls back while jumping off her letting the foam do its thing. Artemis then loaded a shocking arrow in to the bow. She crouched down and waited for the foam to stop expanding around the struggling girl. When it did the girl looked at Artemis with terrified eyes.
"You see this arrow it holds about 6 volts of electricity. Not enough to kill but definitely hurt. So if I where you I would start taking.
