Hey guys! Thanks to EVERYONE who supplied ideas for me. It was really the inspiration and boost I needed to get this story up and running. Again, two year time skip guys, do I really need to add ages up for you? I think not, it's just 13+2, 11+2, and 7+2. Pretty simple, right? Ok, enough of that numerical stuff, I just wanted to say a huge thanks to all who review, all who favorite or fallow, all who read this! It really makes my day when I get to read the reviews or PM's, that's literally what keeps me writing so thank you all so much! I'd really love it if you guys share any ideas you guys have with me, I would LOVE to hear them, and will try to use them.

Ugh, this is so long, I'm sorry. ONTO THE CHAPTER-


"A little bird told me someone attempted to steal the wheels off the Batmobile." stated Artemis dryly between bites of chicken. Jason squirmed in his chair, upset that she had brought this up on one of the days where they were eating in her house, not just the warehouse. It was so much easier to be snarky in a warehouse, proven fact.

The ginger chuckled nervously. "Gee 'Mis, h-how'd you know..." it wasn't really a question, more of a realization that he was now in deep trouble. You give a girl a team with connections to the Batman and then she's all over your business. What was the world coming to? Jason decided to decide upon that later. For now, he needed charm, charm and the swagger of a million swaggy men if he was going to slide back into dear old Arty's good side.

Artemis set her fork down and stared at him. "How do you think I know Jason, what do you think? I mean, really. Just really." not to be left out of the argument Cassandra just nodded, though that's all she ever really did. No need for words when you're a badass and all.

Jason sighed, propping his feet up on the table. "Come on, you've been on the team for a few months and you're already buddy buddy with The Boy Wonder? Isn't one undeniably charming little brother figure enough?" he shot her a grin which caused Cass to make a slight snorting noise before scooting away to go and do whatever Cassandra did these days. Training with Talia no doubt.

"Charming? I do hope you're confused and thought Cass was a boy, because if you think you're charming I may have to check you into some sort of psych ward to get your head checked out." Artemis let out a self satisfied chuckle. Jason sighed, sliding down farther into his chair. "Besides, who said I considered you my brother anyway."

Jason swore a piece of his heart fell off and got stomped on by the blonde. He gaped at her slightly, not saying anything as he internally panicked. How was this possible? After all this time how were they any less than sibling-

"God Jay-Bird, calm down I was joking. Your face is priceless though!" Managed Artemis through fits of gravely yet calming laughter. The boy sighed in relief, too happy that they were still sibling close to be embarrassed by his freak out. "Hey, you did realize I was joking, right?" her tone had gotten softer, less mocking and more caring.

"Y-yeah, 'course." scoffed Jason, his eyes looking downcast at the table and nice china they got out every time they ate at Artemis's house. Even if they just ate Mac n' cheese, the fine china was brought out. Before his thought process could progress farther he felt slender arms slip around his neck in a hug. Jason blinked, glancing over to see Artemis grinning at him as she hugged him.

"You and me Jay-Bird, keep that in mind." He laughed a bit before finally hugging her back. He rested his chin in the crook of her neck, half wishing her hair were down so he could just be surrounded by the fine gold silk that adorned her head and had acted as a sort of safety blanket of his when they were younger.

The familiar course laugh graced his ears and tickled his neck. "Jason, are you smelling my hair?" He couldn't help but join in her laughter, just shrugging. Long after she had stopped he continued his cackling. "Ok Jay, time for bed. It's 2 a.m. and you have school tomorrow."

He pouted, not worrying about acting is oh so matured 13. "But 'Mis-" She just cut him off with the brisk click of her tongue. She untangled herself from the hug and set the dishes in the sink. Wordlessly she grabbed his arm and hauled him upstairs to her bedroom.

"Bed. Now." She stood in the illuminated doorway, hands on her hips and back straight in a very motherly fashion, hot, but still motherly added Jason as how tired he was actually set in. He flopped down on one of the beds, pulling the blanket over himself and giving a brief mumble of goodnight. He wasn't sure why, but now it wouldn't have had bothered him to not be her brother, it would be great to be a little more in fact.

He was almost asleep when the door opened and the ponytailed teen stuck her head in. "And I'm taking you to talk to Bats about your hubcap issues after school." without a second thought she was gone and the door was closed.

The teenage boy in Jason grinned. "They always said women love the bad boys~"
