Once again, several more reviews!
Anon: Yeah, I'm aware of this, but let me break the ice for more moments, so you can understand. If she moved from Gotham City to Star City, she probably used a zeta-beam to move from her home town to Star City, find her mentor and his girlfriend, and then find where Roy was living. And yeah, I admitted that later in the future Roy comes to regret this decision,
Also, I decided this won't be a daily thing-I'll finish some that I planned out and depending on a schedule this might be a weekly thing. Also, regardless if Artemis is revealed to be the mole or dies, I'll still continue this.
It won't go in particular order-it will be a combination of romance, rivalry, and friendship. I also plan to somehow include Lian and Isabelle (Artemis' daughter) in some future stories.
"Hey, Roy!" Artemis called out from the bathroom. "Can you come here? I need your help."
Roy was reading the newspaper and finishing homework when she called to him. "I'm on my way," he said walking out of the kitchen and across the bedroom. Once he stepped in, ZOOM!
"Ouch!" he cried as a sudden jet of water shot against his chest, pushing him back against the floor. Artemis laughed wickedly and zigzagged down to his lower abdomen. "What-the-hell-are-you-doing—"
"Experimenting with a water jet!" Artemis laughed. Roy responded by jumping up—the jet was directly above his crotch—propelling the pain, and grabbed the shower-head away from her.
Artemis shrieked as he aimed for her back and messed up her careful ponytail. Roy turned a handle and a gentle mist sprayed between them. "Oh, come on, I'm so sorry, baby, can you forgive me?"
Artemis stood up and walked over. "I like that thing, where did you get it?"
"It came with the apartment," he admitted. "I've actually never used it before."
Arty nodded and smiled. Then she looked up and smirked. "You know what we should do?"
"What?" he asked.
Thirty minutes later...
"Roy, Artemis, we're here!" Artemis opened the door and greeted Dinah and Ollie.
"Hi. We're having a bit of trouble with our shower drain, and we don't want to pay for help, so can you teach us?"
"Sure, honey," Dinah smiled as she and Ollie walked the bathroom, where a drenched Roy was trying to dig out the drainer. "Hi, guys, can you help us?" he asked sweetly, and Dinah automatically remembered him as a seven-year-old.
Ollie nodded as he and Dinah knelt down. "What tools do you use when the drain is clogged?" Roy asked. Ollie and Dinah had a split second to realize the shower-head was unattached before Roy turned the nozzle and Waterfall shot into both faces.
Ollie and Dinah yelped and tried to run out as Roy turned to Jet and gave them painful stings.
Arty roared in laughter as Ollie and Dinah raced out the main door and slammed it shut. Roy turned the nozzle off while both archers howled in laughter. "Oh my God…that's beyond classic," he panted.
Artemis giggled. "It's not over yet," she grinned. "I'm calling Mount Justice."
Martian Manhunter suspected something went wrong when his niece and her boyfriend returned home both drenched in water while Megan wept and Conner kept muttering different forms of anger and revenge at the small apartment.
Meanwhile, Roy and Artemis were laughing as they were wiping and drying the bathroom when the phone rang. They looked at each other, laughed, and continued drying.
Beep! "Hi, you've reached the residence of Mr. Roy Harper, Jr., leave a message at the beep. Beep!"
"Hello, Roy, hello, Artemis baby…" A froze at her mother's voice. "I was wondering if you two would like to come over for dinner tonight. We'll have Vietnamese soup, roast, and cake, let me know as soon as you get this."
Artemis stood up, ran over to the phone, and punched in several numbers.
At the small crappy apartment Artemis used to live in, Artemis and Roy had finished Paula's wonderful cake and were preparing for a second helping. Paula seemed to approve of Roy very well, and asked him about Ollie and Dinah, none of the questions which made him feel awkward.
Paula smiled and nodded as she began to clean up the plates and wheeled herself to the bathroom. "I'll be right back, kiddos. I have to go to the bathroom." Artemis and Roy were finishing the slices and Artemis had gently began caressing Roy's thigh when Paula cried out.
"Artemis dear, can you hand me another roll of toilet paper, honey?" Artemis groaned and went to her old bathroom for a roll. "I'm coming, Mom!" She smiled sheepishly at her roommate. "I'll be back. Give me a minute!"
Roy shrugged and began licking his fork when he heard shrieking. "Artemis!" he yelled running to the bathroom—a decision he came to regret.
A smirking Paula aimed a jet water shower right in his abdomen.
Roy collapsed against her tub and covered his face as Paula aimed at his arm and laughed wickedly. Artemis was hunched beside the sink. "Paula-Paula-Paula-what-the-hell-are-you-doing-ouch-"
"What do you think I'm doing?" asked Paula. "Ollie and Dinah told me, so I had to join in."
Artemis and Roy screamed louder as Paula moved back and forth from the latter to the former.
Back in Roy's apartment, the archers in bathrobes—Roy in red, Artemis in green—stood feet against the coffee table, skin and heads weak and sore. They weren't exactly watching the movie; they were staring into nothing.
"Well, I guess I just learned a very important lesson: never make a joke if you're not ready for a comeback," Artemis muttered.
Roy sighed and rubbed his eye. "I never knew your mother was so close to my adoptive father, especially since she did not want you to become a real, legit hero for that matter."
Artemis sighed and slammed her head against his lap.
Also, I need your help, my fans-I am planning to write a Facebook conversation between them in the future, and I need suggestions, advice for any conversation. Some characters will drop in, but can you help me?
