Once again, I was humming merrily to myself as I skipped down the hallways of the Cave, seeking for some companionship.
All the guys were out for some guy-time and M'gann was with her uncle. That left Artemis, but I couldn't seem to find where she was.
'If I was a feisty blonde with a no-nonsense attitude, where would I be?' I pondered to myself. Well, since I was a new member on a team, I'd like to show others that I wasn't a pushover…
I snapped my fingers, realizing where she'd be. I turned my heel around and skipped off down the hallway, heading to my new destination.
As I expected, she was in the target room. I spotted a few targets that were filled with arrows, and they were all quite intricate designs. One of them had even spelled the letter "A".
"Hey there," I greeted, and Artemis turned around.
She blinked. "Black Falcon?" she asked curiously. "I thought everyone was out."
"Everyone but us," I responded. "The guys are all out for a Guys' Day Out and M'gann's with Manhunter. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out."
"I don't mind, but I was planning on using the time to practice," Artemis pointed behind her at the targets with her thumb.
"We can do that," I shrugged. I reached behind me and detached the gun that was attached to my back. "I'm a marksman too." I gave her a grin, cocking my gun. To emphasize, I aimed right behind her and shot at the target.
The air bullet whizzed in the air, gaining speed, before going directly through Artemis's arrow, straight at the bull's eye.
Artemis smirked at me. "Impressive."
I twirled my gun in-between my fingers and blew on it like the cowboys did. "I try."
Artemis and I had a shoot-out after that, and of course, I won after hitting the twentieth target in a row. Oh yeah.
I heard some rowdiness getting louder and louder as footsteps approached our location, and knew immediately that the guys were back. I glanced at the nearby clock and was shocked to see that it had been three hours already. Well, that explained my tired fingers and arms.
"Hey there, Fal," Robin was the first to come in. He gave me a smile and I skipped over to him. I snaked my arms around his waist, and he pulled me close to him.
I inhaled deeply, taking in his scent. I pulled back and asked, "Did you guys go paint-balling?"
"Yeah," Robin nodded his head. "Sorry we didn't go with you."
I waved it off. "That's alright. I had a nice time with Artemis, right?" I glanced at the other blonde in the room.
She gave me a smile and a nod. "Yeah. I had loads of fun."
A/N: Wow, guys. I'm tired. I have a Calculus test this Thursday too. Sigh. I should've done my homework instead of write, but ugh. I can't stay away from this series. Remember to review/request~! :D
