samcheese's questions: Sorry, only five.
To M'Gann: Does your telekinesis enable you to control people?
M'gann: I've never tried that. I don't know..
To Conner: Do you feel guilty after getting angry at the team sometimes for no reason? Or do you not get that angry anymore?
Connor: I still get a little angry sometimes. But I'm working on it.
To Robin: If you and Zatanna started going out, do you think that Batman would want to have a 'private talk' with Zatanna? You know, the speech about not breaking your heart, etc.?
Robin: Oh God, I hope not. He would hopefully respect my privacy there.
To Zatanna: Are you curious as to who Robin is without his secret ID in place?
Zatanna: Yes! All the time. But at the same time, I don't think knowing would change anything.
To Black Canary: Why are you so protective of the team?
B.C.: I spend so much time around them, it's natural for me to feel protective.
To Wally: Is it getting to the point where you think that you should intervene to get Robin and Zatanna together? Because their relationship seems to be stuck in the 'friend zone' and it's kind of frustrating.
Wally: Trust me, I know what you mean.
Girlwonder to Robin: When you sing along to What Makes You Beautiful ( i know you do Robin it's what all the awesome noncheating people who do the ninja disappearing thing do) do you sing the way you flip you hair gets me overwhelmed or do you sing the way you flip you hair gets me WHELMED? Cause I say whelmed.
Robin: If I listened to that song, which I don't, I would say whelmed. But I don't listen to that song.
Ravenhearst's questions:
Zatanna: Was it flattering or creepy that Robin was staring at you back at the beach? And I want Rob to hear her answer loud an clear.
Zatanna: it was kind of flattering, I guess. But I didn't really notice until his face turned read.
Artemis: So, how are you feeling after the news?
Artemis: How would you feel if your psycho dad had your sister somewhere?
lala's questions:
To Artemis: What will you do when you see Sportsmaster again?
Artemis: Kick his ass.
To Robin: Ok, let's say you were playing who'd you rather. One is to ask Zatanna out and the other is to stalk Artemis. Which would you rather do?
Robin: Since the seocnd would end in my death, probably I'd ask Zatanna out.
To Wally: Do you like Beyonce or Rihanna more?
Wally: Beyonce.
To M'gann: Do you think Zatanna and Robin would make a good couple?
M'gann: Yes!
To Connor: What would you really like Superman to do?
Connor: Stop ignoring me.
Kvazq598 to Rocket: To Rocket: do you like swimming now and going to try to learn more or are you still nervous?
Rocket: I can't swim yet. But I do like the lessons.
Alrighty, short little chapter to gear up for the confrontation.
"You seem unconcerned." Sportsmaster stood in front of Cheshire. The female assassin was trapped in a stasis field, one that removed her ability to feel her body. In other words, she couldn't move. Sportsmaster kept her in it for most of the day since she was a master escape artist. "Honestly, I was expecting a little more from you. You were always the stronger sister."
He paused as if Cheshire could actually answer him. All she could do was look at him with impassive eyes. Sportsmaster sighed and manipulated the filed so her her head was unaffected, and she still remained silent.
"Why do you continue to disobey me?" Sportsmaster stepped closer. Cheshire took the opportunity to spit in his face. Sportsmaster slowly wiped his face with the back of his hand. "I will not tolerate disobedience." He slapped her across the face with the back of his palm. "So tell me. Why do you insist on disobedience? It is a riddle I cannot figure out."
"Why is a raven like a writing desk?" Cheshire answered in a slightly crazed voice. Sportsmaster slapped her again. "Artemis is going to kick your ass, Dad." Cheshire spat. "I'd do it myself, but you're too chicken to let me out of this damn thing."
"I got you into it, didn't I?" Sportsmaster said smugly. Cheshire almost snarled she was so angry, but she locked her emotions behind an expressionless face. It was harder to hide her emotions without her mask. "Besides, what you think Artemis would even come for you at all?"
"We're sisters." Cheshire said quietly.
"You're an assassin. She's a sidekick wannabe-hero." Sportsmaster shot back. "If anything, she would come to arrest you, not save you."
"Then you'd be in quite a jam, wouldn't you?" Cheshire said with her trademark smile. Sportsmaster slapped her again. A small trickle of blood ran down the side of her mouth. She grinned. "Temper, temper." Cheshire shook her head.
"You're crazy to think your little sister will come to your rescue." Sportsmaster spat.
The last thing Cheshire said before Sportsmaster closed locked Cheshire back in the stasis field was "We're all mad here."
Artemis was punching the defenseless punching bag, trying to clear the troubled thoughts in her head. She had to save her sister, but she had no idea how. Artemis had no idea where Cheshire was, what her father wanted with her, or how she was going to find them.
Wally walked in to find Artemis delivering a series of perfectly executed strikes to the unfortunate piece of workout equipment. He stood and watched her for a few minutes before moving closer.
"Artemis, you should take a break." He dared to move even closer.
"I need to get better if I'm going to fight my father."
"You need to rest so you don't fall asleep while you fight your father." Wally pointed out. Artemis stopped.
"Fine." That seemed to be the most common word in her vocabulary lately. People asked her: "How are you?" and she always answered "Fine." No matter how she was really feeling, she always answered "Fine." Artemis noticed a smell. "Is something burning?"
"Come on, let's see if M'gann's made cookies or something. That's usually what it is." Wally offered her his hand.
"No, I'm all gross and sweaty." Wally smiled as he took her hand anyway and pulled her close to him. He kissed her before she could even think to protest.
"I don't care." Wally said as he pulled away. They started walking down the hallway towards the kitchen/living room.
"Well that's pretty obvious." Artemis said. She felt a smile cross her face, the first one of the day. But it was short lived. "Any news from Batman? Or Robin?" Both members of the Dynamic Duo had been searching for Sportsmaster and Cheshire for two days. They had been searching since Artemis heard the news of her sister.
"No, nothing. There's no way to trace them, none so far. But you know they won't stop looking." Wally tried to be comforting. But there was little he could say. He knew that Artemis knew Sportsmaster wouldn't hesitate to kill his own daughter.
"I know. Robin wouldn't want to face my wrath." Artemis joked halfheartedly. They reached the kitchen to find M'gann floating around trying to salvage her latest batch of charcoal cookies. She was better at cooking than she was before, but she still burnt cookies about one-fourth of the time. She usually just got distracted and forgot about them until smoke came out of the oven.
"Sorry, guys!" M'gann waved them in. "I was trying to make...well, it doesn't matter anymore I guess."
"Team, meet in the Main Room now." Batman's voice floated in over the intercom.
Read, review. Stay posted.
