Fall 2013
"Hey Arty!" Jason careens around the corner and calls out from his big sister. She said that she'd be home this afternoon and he was looking forward to telling her his big news! He is so excited! "Arty, are you home yet?!"
"Hey Pipsqueak!" Artemis appears out of a shadow and picks him up, tossing him over her shoulder. Jason shrieks wildly and Artemis laughs loudly and sings out, "I'm a better ninja! I got'cha, I got'cha!"
"Artyyyy!" Jason whines through his breathless laughter and she finally set him down on the couch, collapsing beside him. They lay out on the couch for a few moments, getting their breath back before Jason pops up and grabs Artemis' knees, "Guess what?! Guessguessguess!"
"Ahhh! Okay, calm it Pips!" Artemis bats Jason's hands off and sits up as well. Jason decides not to tell her that her hair is an absolute mess. "Okay, guessing... You grew underarm hair?"
"What?! No! Ewwww!" Jason raspberries in disgust. Underarm hair is gross and Jason wants nothing to do with it.
"Uh, your big sister graduated from the school of Black Canary and is now a superhero in her own right?" Artemis wiggles her eyebrows and Jason scoffs loudly.
"Like that's news Arty. No one doubted you'd kick ass." Jason jumps on Artemis and clambers over her, crowding up into her space, "Guesssss!" He whines.
"Okay, okay, okay. A real guess this time," Artemis hums and rocks Jason lightly, unconsciously. "Well, I think... Does it have anything to do with Dick becoming Nightwing?"
She knows! It's obvious that she knows, but she's such a teasing jerk! "Come ooooon~! Please!"
"Alright!" Artemis hugs him tight and whispers in his ear, "Bruce took you on as Robin?" Jason nods, tense and suspicious. Artemis isn't really a hugger. Maybe she isn't pleased? "Jason," Jason tenses even more, nearly vibrating with sudden worry, "I'm so proud of you."
"Thanks Arty." He totally should have known that he had nothing to worry about; Artemis is the best.
