Hey there! I'm so, so, so sorry for beşng inactive for so long! I promise I haven't abandoned this story. It's just that I'm a 7th grader with a busy schedule, but most of the exams have passed now so I had the time to write this! Well, I hope it's alright. I haven't written in a while... hehe
As always, none of the characters belong to me. They belong to DC and Warner Bros. On with the story!
Artemis
I got up at 4 to make sure I was the first one in the cave. Well, besides the cave's inhabitants, that is. I admit, that might've been a little too early and paranoid... The lights are on, though. It couldn't be Conner and M'gann, could it?
General P.O.V
Artemis walked into the "living room", only to see the dimension travellers sparring on the sparring pad(I honestly have no idea what that's called but if you know please tell me)... At 4 in the morning.
"You guys always spar at 4 o'clock?" Artemis, ever the sassy one, asked.
"You always walk in on people at 4 o'clock?" Red shot back.
"...Touché."
"Well, you're obviously here to ask something, probably something your teammates wouldn't approve of since you came here so early." Robin said boredly, somehow managing to make that sound polite.
Artemis blinked. How?...
Red chuckled. "Now, what did I say about over-analyzing?"
"Sorry mom, it won't happen again." Robin said with mock sincerety.
"It better not or I might have to get the belt." Red said sweetly.
"Okay... Now you're just being creepy." Robin scowled.
"Prude." Red smirked, causing Robin to huff.
"Interesting... But can we get to business now?" Artemis, ever the patient one, said.
"Alright." Robin said, going into business mode.
"Do you, by any chance, know an 'Andy Mallory'?"
Robin's eyes widened, before narrowing. "Maybe."
"Scorn? Ugh, that guy was the definition of 'brat'." Red said.
"So you both know him..." Artemis said, more to herself than anything.
"Well, what's your deal with him?" Red said while Robin seemed to be thinking of something, probably bringing up every single piece of info he had on Andy.
"I need some blackmail on him." Artemis said.
"Well... That was blunt." Red said jokingly.
"Why?" Robin said.
"Long story short, he has a sadistic crush on my friend and he has some blackmail on me to keep me from protecting him."
"A sadistic crush? Nice. And 'protecting him'? Your friend? Andy is a douche but it's still just a crush. Do you really need to protect your friend from a crush? And Andy is gay? That... Explains a lot, actually." Red trailed off.
"He forcibly kissed him!" Artemis said angrily.
"Well, it's just stealing a kiss. It's not the end of the world..." Red said.
"After banging his head against a locker."
"Maybe he likes it rough?.." Red snickered.
"Look, I really care about this person and I don't want them to get hurt. And, in any case, Andy still has blackmail on me. What if he doesn't keep his promise and tells anyways?" Wow. 'I really care about thşs person'? Was Artemis accidentally saying what her subconcious knew all along?
"Alright. I'll give you some info, but it's up to you to confirm if these are true in your dimension as well." Robin said determinedly. Red knew that tone, it meant that Robin was serious about it. It amazed Red how devoted Robin was to helping people, in any way.
"I-thank you." Artemis said.
"Don't thank me yet, my info might not hold true in this dimension." Robin said.
"Well, at least you're trying to help." Artemis said.
"Fine, once Robbie-Poo is done I'll put in my two cents as well." Robin scowled at the pet name, Red know how annoyed he got when someone used that. "I've always wanted to share blackmail." said Red happily.
Artemis smiled. Andy was so going to regret ever messing with her friend. And her. Mostly her... maybe.
And that's it for this chapter. This was just a quick transition chapter to show what happened in Sunday, the real plot will continue on Monday, which I'm plannig to write tomorrow. From now on I'm going to do dimension travellers subplot in the weekends and the real plot on weekdays. But don't worry-you will see at least a little bit of Robin and Red X everytime they go to the cave-until they're sent home. Or taken home. Did that spark curiosity? It was meant to... Sorry for this being so short, this is just me confirming that I'm alive. On another note... My birthday is on the 17th of April so I wouldn't mind if someone wrote me a one-shot or something... But you don't have to. Idk. But if you like me enough to do that... well... any ship with TT!Robin is fine, especially a really weird one like KydWykkyd and Robin.. just saying... (I feel terrible for asking for it /) Well, good night!
