hey guys so i started this the same day as i added chapter 9. because i got three reviews in just the first hr of posting. need less to say the more reviews i get the faster i upload. so here's chapter 10

don't own Young Justice.

Artemis' eyes fluttered open. She was laying in a white Med-bay bed. She started to scan the room, but stopped when she noticed Kid sitting next to her bed. A small smirk grew on her face. He was looking down at his hands.

"How long have you been sitting there Baywatch" she managed.

He looked over at her, and she noticed something like relief in his eyes. "The whole time you were out" he replied.

"And how long was that?"

"About four hours" she heard Speedy say. She turned around and saw Speedy and Max sitting on her other side. She turned back to Kid, who was blushing.

"So where are the others" she asked. They all looked up suddenly. Realization hitting them.

"Th-they never came back" Kid answered.

"That means that Sportsmaster has them" Speedy said.

Artemis tried to sit up, but the pain in her stomach was too much. Kid lightly pushed her back down. It didn't take much she was already very weak. He noticed the fiercness back in her eyes, that sparkle that he wasn't sure it he would ever see again.

"We have to go get them" Artemis said.

"No we have to" Kid replied.

"You aren't leaving me behind."

She started to try to get up again, but the pain was overwhelming. She forced through it anyway, and stood up. "I'm guessing you're not goanna take no for ran answer" Kid asked.

"Not a chance" she replied.

He helped her to get up, and get her bow. She only stumbled a couple of times. He helped her over to the zeta-beams. Max went through first, followed by Speedy, which left the two of them alone for a few minutes.

"I was really worried about you" he let slip out.

"Really" she asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well...yeah."

She looked at him, and put her arms around her neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist. Then they both leaned in, and kissed. Holy crap he thought I'm kissing Artemis Crock. She tasted like cinnamon, and he started to draw circles on her back. After a few minutes they broke apart for air. Artemis was breathing a little harder than he was, but that was understandable seeing as she was still recovering from an injury.

"We should get going" she said "they're going to need out help."

They walked through the zeta-beam together, and were standing right in front of Max and Speedy.

"What took you guys so long" Speedy asked.

"Nothing" they replied.

They snuck into the warehouse. They saw Sportsmaster standing over a limp Robin, and a very mad Zatanna tied to a chair with a gag over her mouth. "Where is everyone else" Kid whispered.

"They could be anywhere" Speedy whispered back.

"We need to split up" Artemis cut in "you two go find the others."

"Got it" they said, and took off.

Kid sped over to Zatanna, pulled the gag off her mouth untied her, and sped them back over to Artemis before Sportsmaster could notice. "My turn" Artemis said. She notched an arrow straight toward her dad. "Hey dad" she said.

"Hey baby girl you look better" he replied.

"Thanks dad" she snapped.

"No need to be so short" he smirked.

"There's a huge need to be short."

"Hey Babe" Dylan said coming from the shadows "I never thought I'd see you again."

"Mean either" Target came from the other side "but a girl can dream."

"Funny" Artemis narrowed her eyes.

Kid Flash sped over next to her. "Kid" Target said surprised "what are you doing here."

"Just came to help my girlfriend" he replied.

"Aww thanks but I got this" Target announced.

"Oh I was talking to you."

"What" she half-screamed.

"Yep I go t a new girlfriend" he said looking at Artemis.

"He better not be talking about you" Dylan threatened.

"I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm not" she answered.

Sportsmaster almost screamed. "No daughter of mine is dating some red-headed, stupid, idiot of a super speedster" he yelled. Anger filled inside him. Artemis just laughed, she loved seeing her dad so angry.

"Well dad this one is."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait" Dylan ordered "you dumped me for him."

"No I dumped you two years ago, and then I met him."

"But Kid actually did dump me for her" Target screamed.

He nervously laughed. "Yep and it was my best decision I ever made." Target released an arrow toward Artemis. Kid tackeled her out of the way. She released a grunt of pain.

"Oh sorry" he apologized "I forgot about your injury."

"It's okay" she managed, but he could tell she was really hurting. He helped her up. Then Sportsmaster charged Kid. Artemis pushed him out of the way, and shot three exploding arrows at him. He took a few steps back from the blow, but he continued toward them. He swung a punch at Artemis, but she caught it. Then Kid kicked him in the side, and he went flying.

"Thanks" he said.

"No problem" she replied "nice hit."

"Thanks."

Then Target shot three arrows at them, but they saw it and dodge them. Sadly Artemis stumbled right over to Dylan. "Looks like your mine" he smirked.

"You're going down" she replied.

Speedy and Max were glued to the wall. They were trying to make sure that Joker wouldn't see them. They turned around a corner, and there he was looking at Aqualad, Superboy, and Miss M. They were each tied to a metal table that was tilted so they were half standing.

"Well, well, well" he said "what are we going to do with you three?"

Superboy looked furious, Aqualad looked annoyed, and Miss M just looked upset. He was standing there watching them, a huge smile on his face. "How about we suck your powers out threw our new machine, and take your abilities. Speedy notched an arrow, and fired it toward Joker. He turned around and caught it.

I know you hate the cliffies but they're just so much fun
