AN: because I wanted some more friendship stuff- besides. Given with how close Bruce/Clark (Batman/Superman) are with each other, it's not surprising.
Friends
She's always surprised now with how much time Kal ended up spending at the Wayne Manor. They could only really blame their dads. It's really because of them, do they get to know each other now.
Or rather that her dad, Batman, decided that Superman's son was an alright kid to hang out with. Of course, this started before Roy left and before then, she always felt a little bit put out because the boys would always play together.
Even though Kal tried to include her, it was obvious.
That's why she found it really startling when he still showed up every now and then at the Manor to hang out.
"Why are you here?" She had asked one particular afternoon while they hung out in the media room, "I mean, my brother's not here any more and.."
"So?" Kal pushed his glasses up pondering over the movie selection, "I'm as much your friend as I am his. Is there a rule somewhere that we can't be friends because I'm his friend?"
Artemis frowned but shook her head, "You two always hang out together-"
He only flashed a smile, "I see, were you jealous?"
"What? No!"
"There, there Artemis." He moved over to her and patted her shoulder, "No need to be-"
"I swear, you finish that and-"
"I thought bats had a sense of humor."
She snorted brushing his hand off and headed to the door, "We do. Let's do something else."
"Like?" Kal followed her somewhat amused, "Don't tell me-"
"Yup, we're going on patrol."
The click sound he made with his tongue made her smile slightly as she heard, "Bats, they just can't seem to stay out of the city."
"Damn right."
