READ and REVIEW. I don't own Young Justice.

Artemis was a little bit too stressed out. Gotham Academy Life could do that to a person. With all the projects and assignment that the teachers throw at her these days, it was a miracle she was able to sleep for 5 hours a day. Not to mention it was also driving her more insane than she already was.

Her to-do list was full of things to do. First she had to … wait a minute… wait a second. You know what, forget about it. Even thinking about made her head hurt.

Anyway if that wasn't enough, the missions in the team became more frequent than usual with Bats popping up more times every week. While Kid Annoying and Bird Boy gave cheers of excitement; Artemis had to hold back a groan at her enormously bad luck. She had a sneaking suspicion that the world was against her. The world or Bats, either would do because both of them were evil.

So pair physical exhaustion with a mental overload and you have her sanity, minutes away from blasting off to blissful oblivion…

Crap. The power just went out. This was worst than an alien invasion.

"She did it on purpose!" the speedster exclaimed in outrage with a loud voice that echoed inside the debriefing room. His finger pointed across the room where Artemis sat beside Aqualad. The three heroes were the only ones there whereas Miss Martian and Superboy were in the lounge area, probably baking pastries and watching the stactic on the tv (respectively, of course).

She massaged her temples tiredly and chanting strings of curses in her head. "I already told you, stupid. It was an accident."

He snorted."Yeah right like you couldn't see him!"

Self control Artemis. Hold it together. "Wally, it was dark. And just so you know, the power was also out and I was carrying a civilian. A freaking overweight middle-aged civilian"

Wally ignored her and continued on and on until his rant reached the point of an accusation. "Aqualad, do you even hear the garbage this traitor is blabbing out?"

It was then the archer's patience finally snapped. She was anything but a traitor. Her parents, maybe, but not her; it was a promise she had made to herself a long time ago. Immediately, she got up and stomped directly in front of his face. Her knuckles were just centimeters away from his jaw, ready to make its mark. "Say that again. I. Dare. You."

Kid Flash stood his ground despite the threat and readied his own attack stance. "Ok. This time let me spell it out. Slowly. T-R-A-I…"

Aqualad quickly pushed himself in between the two angered teens before any violence had a chance of occurring. The red-headed boy was knocked down on his back from the hard push to the chest but Artemis simply swatted Aqualad's hand away. The atlantean gave of them a long hard stare before his voice spoke in a full on command tone.

"That is enough. Artemis stand down and Kid Flash, watch your tongue. We will not go as far as accusing each other of traitors." The two averted their eyes to avoid their leader's green ones.

"Kid Flash. Go back to the lounge area."

"No way, Aqualad! That's-"

"Kid Flash! That was an order!"

The teen was taken back at the sudden anger in their leader's voice. Grudgingly, he stood up and walked to the door. Not before giving Artemis a glare; she returned it with her own.

Once the he was gone, Aqualad focused his attention back to her. Rubbing the backside of his neck in an attempt to relieve the stressful tension. "He is quite…"

"Overdramatic, I know. And to think, I just accidently socked Robin besides I already said I was sorry."

Aqualad signed. It was time to confront her. "Yes but Artemis, you are also at fault here." Artemis's eyes widened in shock. Her? It was also her fault?

"But!-"He gave her a look of silence. The two were more similar than they think. Aqualad thought.

"I know. It was accident but the fact that you knocked out a fellow ally, endangering the life of his, yours and the civilian you were carrying was a cause of your lack of focus and sleep. Have you seen yourself in the mirror, Artemis? You have been spacing out lately and sleeping more frequently than usual at the lounge area couch. If I may pry, is there something bothering you?"

Artemis looked down at the floor once more. She admitted that she was not on top of her game these days but she couldn't help it. Juggling hero and school was tiring.

"Nothing really. It's just my personal life has been hectic, you know school and etc." The atlantean nodded.

"I see. I am afraid that I am of no help to you in your life beyond the mask. Since unlike yours, my kind of school is concerned more with fishes." A smile appeared on his lips when the archer gave a small chuckle.

"Yet that does not mean that I and the team couldn't help you with other problems. Problems which we would happily lend a helping hand to you in solving."

Aqualad then unceremoniously wrapped his arms around her and gave her friendly hug which she awkwardly accepted; the blonde whispered a quiet thanks to his ear.

"By the way, Robin would also like to talk to you for a while. And seeing as he got the most painful part of all of this, I believe it would be rude to deny him his request." He placed a hand on her shoulder and nodded to the door on the right.

She once again thanked him for his words of encouragement and said her goodbye before making her way to the medical ward. After a few seconds, she finally reached the door with a digital screen in front of the platinum door; the word ROBIN on it.

Because Aqualad is the star that most choose to ignore because of his dull personality yet he is the one who leads others to success. He is also awesome for short. I bet you thought that Robin was helping hand. :)

I am sorry for the long update, I was quite busy with school and all. But I was grateful to the people who gave wonderful reviews, thank you very much. But unfortunately... I wont be updating anytime soon. I am falling behind in class and I can't concentrate knowing people are waiting for another chapter. So I hope for your consideration.

BTW, I recommend you read the story "Safe and Sound" by Darienella, it is a great story and don't forget to review it, even though it hasn't been updated for a long time. Trust me, she's just having a writer's block, that's all, nothing reviews and support won't fix. Also check out her "Wings of the Knight" equally just as good.

So that's it. Thank you Supporters. 100percenthuman Out.
