Thanks for the reviews! They mean a lot to me! Sorry, this chapter is pretty short and nothing much happens, but honestly I was stuck for ideas and basically just needed a filler for this age.
Artemis and Jason are both aged 16.
"So, how was your first day with the team, Red Robin?" Artemis asks, smiling at the dark-haired boy.
"Great. Fucking fantastic. I loved how welcoming and nice your team is," Jason answered sarcastically.
"Give them a break. There's bound to be some hostile feelings. I mean, you're practically Robin's replacement," she said.
Jason glared at her and Artemis put her hands up in surrender.
"Like how you're Red Arrow's replacement?" he asks rudely.
"Okay fine, low blow. But anyway, it was your fault too. Maybe if you stopped scowling all the time," Artemis suggested.
"Please, you know the whole scowling arrogant thing is part of my sex appeal. If I stopped that, people would actually think I was nice."
"Really, Jace, I wonder how you even have girlfriends."
"Like I said, Arty. I'm bursting with sex appeal."
Artemis snorted in disbelief and messed up Jason's hair.
"But really," Jason said, "Is KF gay? 'Coz he and Robin look way too close, if you know what I mean."
Artemis hit him on the head, "He's my boyfriend. I don't think he would be gay."
"Just asking, just asking."
The two were silent for a moment, surveying the city of Gotham in front of them. Jason liked this about Artemis; the two could have a moment of silence without it being awkward.
"Artemis," Jason said, and Artemis turned to look at him.
She had a puzzled look on her face, probably because of Jason's tone of voice. His usual snark was gone, replaced by a young, uncertain voice that Jason only let out around Artemis.
"Will the team ever accept me?" he asked, finally voicing his fears.
Artemis held his hand and leaned into him, a hint of a smile on her face, "The first time I was on the team I insulted every person, told the team I had a crush on Superboy through the mindlink and let the villain get away. If the team can accept me after all that, I'm sure as hell they can accept you."
Jason leant towards her, knowing he should thank, knowing he should say something to show that she managed to help him. But he was Jason Todd after all, and thanks were one thing he didn't do. So instead of saying the words, he hugged her, holding her tight, breathing in her divine, earthly smell. He pulled back after a minute, a smirk decorating his features.
"You had a crush on Superboy?"
I know! Sucky chapter. I promise it will get more interesting! I'm building up to it!
Also, I have another idea for a story, but I just need some of your opinions. What do you think would be the biggest fear for Artemis, Robin, Kid Flash, Ms Martian, Superboy and Kaldur? I was just wondering what each one would fear, and I would really love it if you told me!
Anyway, thanks for reading and please, leave a review!
