So this is the second part of the super update (3 chapters in one day!)
I just went onto YouTube and saw the new Legacy and 2013 trailers and they look amazing! Aqualad, Artemis, and Zatanna seem the best at the moment but I don't know yet. Except they screw up Artemis on the front by displaying her with a recurve bow instead of her compound bow. Yeah it's a minor detail but they really should have caught that since she is never actually seen using a recurve in the show ever.
The 2013 trailers seem pretty cool although the show seems to be expanding a at a phenomenal rate. They're just adding characters super quickly and although I am happy to see some, it kind of destroys the character development. If the characters would have been introduced like in season one, we probably would know so much more about Batgirl, La'gann and Wondergirl.
Anyway, enough about me, here's part 2 of the 3 chapter update:
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Recognize, Artemis, B Zero Seven
The flash of light faded and I stepped into the welcoming sight of the Cave.
I went straight for my room there and plopped down onto the couch against the wall.
The room was rather sparse, only a closet with a few of my extra clothes and uniforms, as well as the polar stealth versions and cold weather versions, a 3 person couch with a small coffee table covered in my homework and arrows in need of sharpening, and my bed, which was a full size bed pushed up against the wall that I rarely used.
The room was much larger than the other rooms since I think it was originally meant for more people. I claimed it early on and the only downside was it was a little further away from the kitchen but it made up for it by having its own bathroom. I just had to clean out all the trash and broken arrows inside, making me think it was used a lot by Ollie. The beer bottles increased my suspicion while I was cleaning out the room initially.
I dumped all my stuff out onto the floor and got ready to sleep.
As I laid in the bed and began to close my eyes, I realized something.
I FORGOT TO PICK UP MY ARROWS!
FUUUUUUUUUUU!
Ugh.
I really shouldn't have yelled but I soundproofed my room so I can do whatever I want without anyone noticing. Anything. Not like that, I know what you're thinking.
Well I guess I could go back tomorrow and grab them or just steal some from Ollie's quiver when he wasn't looking.
Roy and I had made a bet/game to who could take the most amount of arrows out of Ollie's quiver at once without him noticing. I was in the lead with 11 but he tailed behind at a close 9. I should really learn how to do it better from Robin. The last time we got caught, well, we can just say it was rather awkward. Ollie locked us into a closet for half an hour as a punishment, but any time more than 5 minutes with the scarlet archer will seem like an eternity.
I drifted off to sleep still planning my revenge on the Boy Wonder, who was most likely going to hide out in Gotham for a few days before coming back.
A few hours later, I was awoken by a massive burst of light, accompanied with a whoosh and rapid fire sentence from a certain speedster.
However, unluckily for Wally, I sleep on high alert and with a crossbow under my pillow and had no idea who my awakener (not a real word) was.
I immediately sat up, pulling the crossbow from under my pillow as I went, and pointed it straight at his face.
Surprise mudafuka!
I recognized him a split second before I pulled the trigger and stopped with a yelp, leaving us both shocked.
"Wow Artemis, I knew you would be pissed but not this much"
"Wally! What are you doing in my room? I lock the door for a reason!"
"You forgot and it automatically slid open when I passed so I couldn't resist. It's probably a good time to get up cause I think your mom has been trying to call you. Your phone has been basically vibrating nonstop."
Oh crap.
If my mom was calling this much, she was either very worried, or very angry, or both.
The phone rang again and I immediately picked it up.
"Artemis where are you?! Are you ok?! I heard Oliver's mansion was attacked!"
"I'm ok mom. I tried to send you a text message earlier but I guess the signal wasn't strong enough when I sent it."
"*sigh* I worried so much about you Artemis. Come home when you can."
"Don't worry, I will. Love you."
I hung up the phone and noticed the massive headache I suddenly had.
Wally spoke up.
"You should go to the medical bay. I heard you got knocked out."
"Alright. Fine I'll go. Give me a painkiller first. There should be a bottle on the coffee table."
He turned around and looked around the table for a moment, then picked them up and handed them to me. I took out a pill and swallowed it with a swig of water from a water bottle from my nightstand.
I noticed he was staring at me and followed his gaze down to the edge of my tank top. I'm pretty sure you know which edge. The one that dipped a little too low for my comfort.
"Something exciting down there Baywatch? Cause my eyes are up here."
"Uh sorry, I was uh... drifting off into thought. Yeah that's it. I was in deep thought."
"Keep telling yourself that. If I didn't have this massive headache, I would probably hurt you. You're lucky I'm not going to shoot you for that. Now get out, I gotta get changed."
He ran out of the room and the door shut behind him. I got up and locked the door before going over to my closet and getting on my usual clothes.
Walking to the bathroom, I looked into the mirror and sighed at the state of my hair. It was so physically disheveled that it took my around 10 minutes to get it into its usual ponytail.
Wally was waiting for me outside.
"You totally weren't going to shoot me. You're out of arrows!"
"Shut up, I was going to get more then I forgot. I'll probably get some tomorrow. My stash that usually keep here is already empty."
"Well, wait here a second."
He dashed off in the direction of the Zeta Tubes as I walked over to the medical bay.
I passed Kaldur on the way, who was reading a book while walking. He looked up and seemed somewhat shocked.
"Are you alright Artemis? I heard you were attacked at Green Arrow's mansion."
"Yeah, I'm headed to the med bay right now to patch myself up."
"I'm coming with you just to make sure you're ok."
"It's fine Kal, I only have some scrapes and bruises."
"And a possible minor concussion from what I've heard."
He gave me that stern yet caring look he seemed to carry in abundance and I wavered for a second, then gave in.
"Fine. You win this time."
He turned around and we walked together toward the medical bay in silence.
Once we were there, he instructed me to sit down and bandaged my wounds, then made sure I was ok.
We were in there for around 1 hour and right as I was about to get up and leave, Wally runs into the door.
Like not in through the door, into the door.
And right after he ran into it, the door opens.
"Owwww"
"Good going Flashboy, didn't remember to open the door?"
"The sensor didn't pick me up fast enough."
"Well that's your fault."
Kaldur tried to stop us.
"Please you two, it was just an accident. Wally, is there something you want to tell us?"
"Sorry Kal. Oh yeah! Artemis come with me!"
He grabbed my arm and tried to dash off, only to fall straight to the ground since I decided not to stand up.
"Hey! You did that on purpose!"
"Well... Yeah. I couldn't resist."
"Well I have a surprise to show you!"
"This better be better than the brownie cake."
The brownie cake was Wally's idea of baking. He put all the ingredients for a brownie into a cake pan and tried to double it's size and baking speed by doing something to the oven (let's not go there). Basically, it ended with a massive, explosive mess inside the kitchen and we all had to clean it up. It also got Wally banned from using the oven but we still had to clean.
"It's better."
He dragged me out and down the hall to a rarely used room where the surprise awaited me.
The doors slid open and my mouth fell open in amazement.
