Dick, for his part, was completely stunned.
As his alter ego Robin he had entered the boys shower room a week or so ago and assumed that the other person inside was Wally. He hadn't bothered to look.
Never make assumptions.
Then he let his guard down and allowed someone to get close enough to him to see his face and upon noting that it was Artemis wearing nothing but a towel that covered very, very little he let his judgment get clouded.
Never be distracted by a pretty face.
Then he had foolishly, foolishly pinned their bodies together-
Dick smacked himself. He could not think about that. Instead, he focused on the fact that Artemis now knew his secret identity—which Batman was going to kill him for. He tried to talk to her about but she dashed out forcing him to spy upon her only to realize...that she thought she had been dreaming the whole time. She was so exhausted that she assumed she had fallen asleep. It was a reprieve unlike any other.
And then he realized that she thought that she had been having one of those dreams about him not Robin. And she liked what she had seen. She liked what he had done.
And her towel had fallen and she was so beautiful or was it sexy?
...sexiful?
When he couldn't even make his usual play on words correctly he knew he was in so much trouble.
Several days later Artemis was wondering how she let Bette convince her to do this. But there she was strutting towards Dick Grayson with every intention of sitting with him for lunch. She was going to talk to him—although Bette had said she should just strip him naked and satisfy her curiosity once and for all.
She sometimes wondered about the friends she kept.
She didn't understand why she couldn't let this go. Something was nagging her, telling her there was something about Grayson she was missing and she'd never be able to move on until she figured it out. However, when she got within two feet of him he ran away.
He literally ran away from her.
Needless to say when she made it to Mount Justice that evening she was pissed.
"Did you want some cookies Artemis?" Artemis glanced over at Superboy who really looked like he wanted to be alone with M'gann and said, "Why, yes, I do." She didn't care if she did die if she ate them. She was in a bad mood so she wanted everyone to be in a bad mood. Selfish? Yes. Did she care? Not really.
Artemis followed M'gann into the kitchen and grabbed a few cookies.
"Where is everyone?"
"Kid Flash went on a mission with Flash. Aqualad is in his room and we are here."
Artemis glanced around. "What about Robin?"
M'gann glanced at Superboy but Artemis waved them both off. "It doesn't matter. I'm headed home anyway. We don't have a mission right?"
"No, but-" M'gann glanced at Superboy again causing Artemis to frown. "Don't leave Artemis. Let's have a, a girls night."
Artemis paused and looked at M'gann. She was passing up an opportunity to make out with her hot boyfriend in order to have a girl's night? Something was just wrong about that because if it were her and Dick-
Artemis let out a frustrated yell causing both Conner and M'gann to look at her oddly.
"Yeah, sure. Why not?" Artemis said automatically heading towards the television. Maybe for a little while she'd be able to focus on something else.
