A few hours later, Paula died. Officially her cause of death was the fire but, Artemis and Dick knew, she was murdered. Dick took Artemis home, they had to stay to sign a few papers but after that they couldn't stand to stay there any longer.

Dick pulled into the driveway of their house, he looked over at Artemis, she cried herself to sleep. Dick carried her into their house, Artemis opened her eyes to see Dick carrying her into the house "Dick…" she muttered, Dick looked at her and smiled weakly

"It hurts" she said, Dick knew what she meant, his entire family died when he was eight. She rested her head on his chest when they sat on the couch, "…Does it get easier?" she asked, he wanted to say yes but he couldn't, because it didn't. Dick's parents died twelve years ago and it still hurt.

Dick didn't say anything, he just comforted her as she slowly feel asleep in his arms. Dick didn't sleep at all, Sportsmaster haunted his thoughts. The same thought ran though his head again and again 'What if he comes after Artemis' he couldn't get the thought of his mind

When Artemis's eyes opened she wasn't where she was when she fell asleep, she was lying in her bed but Dick wasn't next to her. She slowly got up, memories of the day before flooded back into her mind, she left the room, looking for Dick.

She walked into the training room that Dick called his own personal Batcave, she found his. He was slamming his fist into a punching bag over and over, "Dick…" she muttered, he didn't hear her, "Dick…" she tried again a little louder, he still didn't hear. He kept hitting the bag, "Dick!" she exclaimed, he heard her, he slammed his fist one last time, punching a hole straight through the bag.

He pulled his hand back to his side, he turned to Artemis. Artemis sighed, his knuckles were bleeding, Dick walked over to her, "I-I'm sorry" he muttered, Artemis hugged his chest. They stood their until a knock came at the door, Dick pulled away from her.

Dick pulled open the door, It was the team, all of them. Wally was the first one to speak "Hey man, we heard" he stated plainly as they all rushed to Artemis. They told her comforting things, they heard a crash and a slam. They all went toward the noise, it was a fist size in the wall. Dick was gone.

Nightwing stood over the unconscious bodies of the thugs, he glanced at some of the thugs. Broken nose, shattered collarbone, broken forearm – and that's just one thug. He shook his head as he turned to leave. He zipped up to a rooftop

Nightwing jumped from roof to roof until he skidded to a stop. He jumped to the ground and landed near a bank, he walked past several cop cars. He swung through the doors, his eyes widened. Sportsmaster was standing in the middle of the bank surrounded by thugs. Nightwing clenched his fist and sprinted to him.

He threw a pellet down and smoke consumed the room, there was several crashes and snaps, when the smoke left the room, it was just Sportsmaster and Nightwing. Nightwing had a grin on his face "I'm going to enjoy this" he muttered as hey sprinted toward Sportsmaster.

A flash of red and yellow sped by and Nightwing was at least three miles away from the bank. His anger grew "Wally" he muttered.

By the time Nightwing got back to the bank Sportsmaster was gone, captured by Aqualad and Kid Flash.

Dick went back to his house. Artemis was waiting for him, she sighed "Dick… what would you have done if Wally didn't stop you" she asked reluctantly, Dick looked down, he honestly didn't know. Artemis stood and walked closer to him "Dick… I don't like him any more than you do but…" she paused "We can't sink to his level"

Dick sighed "Artemis… I don't show it but I have fears, just like everyone else" he smiled weakly "Before I met you, my fear was bats" he chuckled "Yeah, Bruce made me terrified of bats… but now my biggest fear isn't anything like that… it's losing you" he lost his smile, he was completely serious.

Artemis didn't know what to say, she just hugged his chest tightly "I'm not going anywhere" she whispered. That was all he needed.

Well, that was my version of Huntress's death... I know that's not how it really happened but I just got some ideas in my head. Anyway hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, Review
