Batman swiftly drew two batarangs and threw them at the restrictions binding Cadoc. When they hit, they caused a minor explosion, but got Cadoc out. Returning his attention to the senior members of the squad, Batman said, "I thought that you were all better than this." He turned his back quickly and began to walk towards the exit.
"Batman, wait!" Cadoc yelled. Batman kept walking. Sprinting to catch up to Batman, he cut him off from the remainder of the route. Batman looked down as Cadoc began to speak.
"Look, I was being a bit of a dick. I have hurt three of their team mates, and they already disliked me because of my arrogance. If you are going to punish them, then punish me as well. But I encourage you not to punish anyone!" Cadoc finished with a hopeful plea.
Batman just looked up and walked around Cadoc. "Great talk Bats!"
The next day…
Cadoc felt some air shift down towards his face. He reached up and clamped his hand around a neck. His other hand reached towards his hip and grasped a hand. Bridging up onto his neck, he flipped his attacker so that he was on top now. He opened his eyes and saw that his attacker was… Artemis? "Um, what are you doing here? In my room?" Cadoc questioned.
Artemis replied with "I kinda heard that you sleep naked."
"And?"
"I wanted to see if it was true. You are kinda hot."
Cadoc rolled his eyes and said, "Wait, didn't you want to chop my balls off yesterday?"
Artemis said, "Yeah about that…" She kicked up and Cadoc went down holding the most valuable pair of possessions he could ever have. He rolled over the side of the bed holding his groin and Artemis couldn't stifle her laughter.
After she calmed down, she saw that Rene was still face down on the floor. "Oh yeah, by the way, what I said about you being hot, that wasn't a lie." She bent down and licked his ear.
'Big mistake blondie.' Cadoc thought. He bucked up so that Artemis was pressed up against his back. He reached up and grabbed her head, ripping it across his shoulder so that her entire body arced in the air, ending in a slam on the ground. With her body on the floor, Cadoc grabbed her head and one of her arms so that he had a North-South headlock. After a couple seconds, Artemis began to get woozie. Cadoc released, but Artemis locked in her own headlock and rolled over, reversing their positions.
"Who said I wanted you to stop?" Artemis said seductively.
"Who says I did?" Cadoc countered. He broke her lock, shifted down so that their faces were level. He reached up around Artemis' head and brought her in for a kiss.
Taken by surprise Artemis began to fight against the kiss. But after she realized what was happening, Artemis began to deepen the kiss. Her tongue probed against his lips, begging for entrance. He was about to give in, she could feel it.
But then the door opened and Black Canary walked in. Her jaw dropped when she saw the scene before her. Cadoc broke the kiss and looked up. His eyes widened as Black Canary walked in. Artemis was almost finished recovering from the abrupt break up when she looked up and saw Black Canary standing in the doorway with her hands on her hips. Her face went pale as Black Canary's.
"So," Cadoc began. "How was everybody's morning?"
