A/N: Bleh. Thanks for all the reviews (:
Artemis
"K-Kid Flash?" She stuttered.
The red head, who had a cocky air to him, nudged the boy that had been called Kaldur. "Hear that?" He laughed. "I make the ladies go speechless."
Artemis felt her face heat up. Her temper was one thing that her father had passed down, and it was one thing she could have lived without. "I'm not speechless; I was just surprised they let someone like you join Young Justice." She snapped.
He widened his green eyes. "If you mean incredibly well known and handsome when you say someone like me, then yes, it is a surprise. People at least know who I am."
Artemis was reaching up to hit him when she felt Green Arrow's gloved hand rest on her arm. "It's a pleasure to meet you Wally." She said through gritted teeth as Wally smiled and nodded his head, like people should have been honored to meet him.
Cassie, the blonde Amazon that Artemis had seen in the news quite a bit smiled and rolled her eyes at Wally. She snapped his tight yellow spandex suit. "Don't worry about Kid Freak." She said lightly.
M'gann, the green one with the bright smile turned to her. "So, are you new?" She asked.
"I'm not new at archery, but I'm new as the Green Arrow's sidekick." She said evenly. She would have to play her cards close to her chest if she was going to keep her true intentions secret. M'gann looked at her with wide amber eyes. Artemis prayed she wasn't always this happy.
"I'm new to Earth." M'gann offered up helpfully. Artemis just grunted. She saw Green Arrow sending awkward looks towards Black Canary.
"I need to go talk to Dinah." He said as he left.
"Don't ask." Cassie said. "The Oliver Queen and Dinah Drake love issue requires a reality TV show." She laughed. Artemis allowed herself to smile slightly. "Oh, but you would know that, being his niece and all."
Artemis's eyes flashed for a second. "Yeah, I know." She laughed.
"So, where are you from?" Kaldur asked.
"Gotham." Artemis said automatically. They all nodded politely. Artemis hoped that they couldn't see that she was from the Gotham slums.
The portal flashed and M'gann's head snapped towards it like she was a puppy waiting for a treat. Superman, yes Artemis knew who that was, walked out followed by a dark haired boy with a permanent scowl. M'gann smiled and she heard Cassie and Zatanna whisper to each other.
"That is definitely a super boy." Cassie chuckled.
Artemis' interest piqued, while Wally was cocky and arrogant, this boy seemed to be dark and mysterious, which was exactly the kind of guy Artemis liked. He had his muscled arms crossed, black tight tee shirt tight stretched against his tan skin. His dark hair fell into his cerulean blue eyes and he frowned when he saw everyone looking at him. Superman, with his signature colic in place and red cape flowing from his back, stood in a pose similar to that of his young look alike. M'gann half walked and half floated over to the boy and began to converse with him. While he didn't smile or look like he was enjoying himself, he did loosen a little.
"I like him." Artemis whispered to Zatanna.
Wally was glaring at him. "That's who she digs? I could totally take him in a heartbeat." Wally snorted. M'gann was now bouncing up and down, only reaching the Superboy's shoulders when she was on her tiptoes.
"Where can I put my bow down?" She asked Cassie, getting sick of watching M'gann flirt with Superboy.
"Oh, I'm sure you have a room." Cassie chirped. "Let's go ask Arrow." The girls went over to Artemis's 'mentor'.
"Can Artemis have her room number?" Cassie asked.
He held up a finger to show it was going to be a minute. "Dinah, baby, come on." He begged.
Canary crossed her arms over her chest defiantly. "Ollie, we've gone over this. You're way older than me, and a total ass."
Green Arrow looked peeved. "Dinah Drake, you should be honored that someone like me would find you attractive."
Canary's eyes widened. "Honored? You are a womanizing, inconsiderate douche who needs to come to grips that we're over." She corrected.
Green Arrow's mouth fell open. "But..."
Canary gave him a sarcastic smile. "The only butt here is mine. Feel free to watch it walk away."
With that she turned to strut away. "Artemis, Wonder Girl. I'll show you to your rooms now." She said over her shoulder.
Artemis's worries only grew with every step.
