Chapter 11

Aqualad was hesitant for attack first, as he had no idea how good Indigo's martial arts skills were, only her sword skills. Indigo went for a feint and was able to distract Aqualad enough to get in a jab to his face. The 14 year old then jumped back and prepared for a roundhouse, but was caught just as her leg came close to the Atlantean's torso. He then threw her backward but she caught her balance rather quickly, and went after him again. Aqualad now knew her style, and was dodging blow after blow she dealt, but he needed to go on the offensive.

The Atlantean tried a crescent kick, then feinted into a hook punch, but Indigo immediately dodged, and went for the final move, a flying punch. Aqualad had no means to escape, and was hit right in the face, thus making him fall backward.

"Fail, Aqualad" The computer announced.

"Nice finishing move, Indigo. Now, up last from the new girls is Scarlet, anyone want to go up against her." Black Canary said as she returned Indigo and Aqualad's weapons. Just then Superboy walked up.

"Alright, Superboy; remember, just martial arts. In this case, if it seems that your powers are getting too out of hand, Scarlet may use her telekinesis to stop your movements. Remember this condition is only to prevent harm to anyone as this is only training." Black Canary said as she set the rules. Scarlet and Superboy both nodded in agreement. Superboy was getting better with his powers, but sometimes could still lose control, even after a year of training.

The session began, and both teens were circling, looking for the right opening, then Scarlet saw one. She headed out and started with a knife-hand punch, but Superboy saw it coming, and sidestepped. Once he was sure he had the right angle, he grabbed her arm that was used for the punch and tossed her back a ways. The Kryptonian clone then ran forward and started into a roundhouse kick once he stopped at just the right moment, but Scarlet easily caught his leg with her hands and she then dropped down and came back with an upward elbow strike.

With the force from the leg power used to push Scarlet up, Superboy stumbled backward from the hit. The teen boy was starting to get angry, and the others saw this. They were about to intervene when Black Canary and Batman got in their way. The teens took this as a 'Scarlet will know when it's time' kind of sign, as no words were spoken.

Superboy leapt into the air do perform a flying punch, but Scarlet jumped out of the way seconds before he came down for impact, and he hit the floor, creating a small crater. The Kryptonian then stood up and looked right at Scarlet, and let out a frustrated cry. He ran toward her with his right hand ready to punch with everything he had, but he was quickly paralyzed. Black Canary came in and motioned for Scarlet to release Superboy. He soon got his movement back and just looked at Scarlet, then Black Canary.

"I'm sorry, sometimes I just lose control. I hope you didn't get hurt too bad, Scarlet." Superboy said as he quickly had a look of regret on his face.

"It's alright, Conner, it happens. I could tell you weren't holding back with that last punch you were going to make, so I had to use my powers." Scarlet said as she walked up to the boy.

"Not bad though, you really have some skill in martial arts, infact, all three of you do." Black Canary said. "Now, the team needs to train among themselves, why don't you head to the kitchen for some water, this shouldn't take long.

The trio said their temporary goodbyes to the team and headed off to refresh themselves.

Thirty Minutes Later

The trio was sitting at the island in the kitchen area, when all of a sudden they heard the team approaching.

"Girls, I wish to inform you that we captured Wotan last night, but we, the team discussed it, and have agreed that you can stay as long as you wish. Zatara did some extra research into the spell that opened the portal to your world last year, and it can be adjusted to send you back to the exact moment you left." Aqualad said as he headed to the fridge while Kid Flash and the others sent to the sitting area.

"Awesome." The trio said all at once. The team gathered around them, well, all except Artemis, who never really liked getting mushy. Indigo noticed this, and went over to her.

"Artemis, I think we need to talk. You just need to let all of this out, you know what I mean." Indigo said, just then, Cardinal and Scarlet had excused themselves from the group and joined their friend. Artemis didn't know what to say, so she just nodded and the four of them went off toward the bedrooms, while the rest of the team just talked and relaxed after their training session.

The four girls arrived at Artemis's room and entered, she then set the lock on the door so no one could enter unannounced.

"So, what do you think I need to let out?" Artemis asked as she sat on her bed while the trio stayed standing, the archer then motioned for them to sit anywhere.

"We know the truth about you, you're not GA's niece, and you don't live in Star City. We also know who your parents are." Indigo said as she removed her mask.

"Okay, so what, are you going to squeal on me to the team?" Artemis questioned after the shock of what CC said wore off.

"No, we also know that you are a good hero, even if Sportsmaster is your father, that doesn't mean you have to be evil, you chose this life, and so you get to live it how you want. When the Reds attacked the cave, you were worried once they captured Robin, but then you worked through it. Like Robin said, 'get traught, or get dead'. He was right when he said he'd been a superhero since he was nine; just take whatever advice he gives alright. Also, to quote a movie, 'Either you die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain', I believe you were born a hero." Reina said as she also removed her mask.

"I did remember that about him, and then I thought about Cheshire. She would never have given up so easily, but…" Artemis began, but started trailing off as she thought about everything that's happened in her life.

"Look, your sister may have taken the easy way out, and left you alone with Sportsmaster, but you were right to stay behind for when your mom got out of prison." Kristi told the archer.

"I just can't believe how much good this is doing, I guess since the team still doesn't know, it's all been cooped up inside." Artemis stated

"Just like Black Canary said after the train to fail exercise, you should start by telling them your not Ollie's niece." CC said as she thought back.

"I suppose you're right, but I don't know how they'll react, and I know for a fact that Red Arrow doesn't trust me as it is, even when I helped the team protect Dr. Roquette." Artemis said.

"Roy's always had a stick up his butt; it comes from living with Ollie. Ever since the fourth of July last year, at least here in your dimension, when he walked out of the Hall of Justice, he's been sore about everything." Reina stated, and this made Artemis let out a small giggle, as she's never heard Red Arrow's attitude put into quite those words.

"Thanks, guys; you really know how to cheer a girl up. I wish you didn't have to go back to your dimension after your adventure here, but I'm sure you'll be homesick soon." Artemis said as she got off the bed and walked over to the door. The trio followed, and they all four left out, CC and Reina placing their masks back over their eyes.

As Artemis, Indigo, Cardinal, and Scarlet arrived back in the main room, they saw that the team had activated the air hockey program in the cave's computer. The four of them walked over just in time to see Kid Flash get served, by Superboy.

"Hey how about an air hockey tournament?" Indigo said, with some excitement in her voice.

"Hey, that sounds great, let's see who will win." Robin said.

"There is an odd number of people." M'gann said as she counted, just then, she caught sight of the time. "Hello M'gann, I have plans for a great dinner, and need to get started, but I'll be watching." The Martian then flew toward the kitchen. Robin followed for a couple of minutes then returned with a piece of paper he had done.

"So, first up will be myself and Cardinal, then Aqualad and KF, followed by Indigo and Scarlet, then last is Superboy and Artemis." Robin said as he also showed the team the brackets on the paper.

"Sounds good to me, I just hope Kaldur can handle getting beat again." Kid Flash said as he got that smug look on his face.

"I just hope I don't beat you to badly, Robin." Cardinal said as she looked right at her crush.

"I'm better than you would think." Robin said.

"I can't wait Conner; this is going to be fun." Artemis stated, seeming to have lost her thing about staying distant from the others.

"You're right on that Artemis." Scarlet said.

"Let the tournament begin." Indigo shouted, and with that, Robin and Cardinal took their place at the table.

The game started out strong, and Cardinal had a powerful lead, 3-0, but all of a sudden, it became a battle, Robin was catching up, and soon surpassed his 'sister'. Another five minutes passed, and the score became 6-6, and the 'twins' were really going all out trying to score their last point. The problem is that Cardinal's defenses were weakening, and Robin could see this. He went for a trick shot he knew, and scored.

"Oh man, that was close, I thought I had a solid defense, but the best teen wonder won." Cardinal said as she and Robin walked toward each other and shook hands.

Up next were Aqualad and Kid Flash. The two took their positions, and the game started. Aqualad got the first point, but called a time out after Kid was able to score 3 times in about two minutes.

"You are using your speed, which is not fair. From this point on, since we have hit the super powered players, no powers are to be used; we shall keep the score as is." Aqualad said, and with that, they started back up.

The Atlantean was catching up, and after five minutes, they were at the deciding point. That's when Kid saw his opening, Aqualad was in the same position as before, and the speedster, minus his speed took advantage of this. The puck went into Aqualad's goal and Kid Flash won the second round.

"Looks like you just can't beat me, eh Kaldur." Kid Flash said as he walked up to Aqualad and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"It was a good game, congratulations on your win, and good luck going up against Robin." Aqualad said.

Alright contest time, and anyone with the right answer by the time I finish chapter 12 wins.

There is a quote from a movie in here, what is it, and what movie is it from. Bonus points to anyone that can tell me the character in the movie that said it.
