[ Chapter 1 ]

"If you wanted it so badly you could've just asked" Wally whined, "Dude you sound like a fricken seagull, shut up" Robin said, "And~ I took it cause you need to stop eating ice-cream, also side note, I don't want it..." Robin finished, he grabbed his stomach in disgust.

His last sentence came off aggressively, "Fine" Wally crossed his arms and looked away. Robin sighed and threw the ice-cream in the trash can next to him.

"I assume, there's no mission??" A female voice said, distant footsteps against the medal flooring could be heard, "Batman hasn't said Shit so I'm gonna assume no." Robin snapped, "What's Wrong with you?" Artemis asked.

"This makes 2 weeks in a row without missions or ANYTHING to do, he promised so much, and it seems the old man can't even keep one promise" Robin scolded.

"Rob it probably takes time, plus ISN'T it good there's no missions?" Artemis looked around, slowly but Surely catching contact with Aqua Lad.

He nodded, "Yeah That means no villains have been attacking the city??" Aqua said, "Or he's hiding them" Wally shrugged, Artemis gave Wally a death glare, in which he returned a Gross look away.

Robin noticed and nudged him "be nice you idiot, she's already a month in, and you still can't be nice!?" Robin said.

Wally turned to him "woah, hey, no need to get upset Wally, I was just saying.." Robin seemed more frightened and broken then he usually is.

"And why are you standing up for her?, you saw what she did, she tried to take Arrows spot!" Wally yelled, "Mm.." Robin flinched back, "Dude...She faced the enemy head on cause she felt as if Idiots like you wouldn't accept her on the team" Robin continued, "Secondly I am standing up for her cause she's my friend" Robin finished.

Artemis smiled at the comment, "well she AIN'T mine, nor will she ever be" Wally looked away, "Sure thing moron" Robin scolded.

After the whole fiasco everyone but Robin and Artemis left, "Robin?...is something wrong? You seemed so.." she stopped, "so what?" He asked, he turned to face her, "you seemed so...frigid and fragile when Wally yelled at you.." she said.

He sighed "before you ask, no I don't get yelled at when I'm at home, secondly I haven't been 100% so I'm weaker" he admitted.

"Why don't you go nap Robin?..I mean I certainly don't want my training partner to have a sickness and not be able to train" she laughed.

He wanted to laugh, but even breathing brought the boy pain, "I wanna, but breathing makes it painful..." he said.

She looked down, guilt struck her, "if this has anything to do with the mission me and you did, where you got thrown against a wall, I'm sorry, I was selfish and should've shot the target instead of dodging like a coward" she said.

"Don't think like that..haha..you're actually pretty Cool, and Dodging was smart, I would've done the same thing" he laughed.

When he let out a little chuckle all he felt was a sting of pain hit his chest, he nearly collapsed but Artemis caught him."You're much lighter then I thought" she teased, she picked him up into her arms, she glanced down at the boy, he ended up passing out.

Once she brought him to his room and set him down on his bed she decided to check his temperature, "Holy Crap you're hot" she said, "thanks..." he teased slowly waking up.

"Not- that's not what I mean!" She laughed, "You need anything else Rob?.." she asked, "no..I just need someone to tell me I'm gonna be alright, that sounds dumb, but I've always been afraid of getting sick.." he admitted.

"That's not dumb, I had the same issue, and yes Rob..everything will be alright" she assured him, "if there's a mission today, you are NOT to leave, you hear me Rob?" She asked, he nodded and passed out again.

"I should really get someone to check out what's wrong..." she whispered.

Artemis walked out of the room and made her way to the main room, "Hey" M'gann said, "hello" she smiled, "Is something wrong?" She asked.

"Nah, Robins just not feeling okay, so I went to help him," Artemis answered, "Oh..I hope he'll get better," M'gann smiled.

"Tch- having the new girl help him...pathetic" Wally scolded, "Shut up, You just called your best friend pathetic, knowing damn well he could beat the shit out of you in a second" Artemis started, "Also I helped him cause he's a friend of mine, it was MY choice, and it's NOT your decision what he does with his life" she finished.

"Doesn't matter I'm his best friend, I should be helping him" Wally said, he seemed pissed over nothing, he was acting like a complete child.

"D-Dude...stop" Robin said, he walked in holding his stomach, "right now, I only care about her..cause all you do is bitch and complain about her..for n-no reason" robin said.

He shut his eyes tight and leaned against the wall, Artemis rushed over and helped him stand up straight, "thanks arty..." he smiled, she loved that smile, but she hates seeing him like this.

"You should be in bed..." she said gently, "b-but I was scared he was gonna do

s-something stupid.." He admitted, "how sweet but everyone else would've helped" she said.

Seeing her smile brought warmth to the boy, seeing her happy and wanting to stay here makes him fill with joy. "Arty..can you un attach the cape? I can't lift my arm..." he said.

She nodded, she snaked her hands up his chest to the top of his cape, she grabbed the two sides and gently let the latch at the back of the two fabric pieces release and the cape came off.

She grabbed the cape and wrapped it around her forearm, "thanks" he stood up straight, "the hell?? Was the cape restricting blood flow??" Artemis stepped back, "or did you do this for attention?" She shouted.

He stepped back, "n-no!!...the cape must've been restricting my blood flow, doesn't mean I'm NOT sick!!" He said, "I'm sorry.." she said, "hey it's fine, but please don't assume something like that, I would never fake being sick for attention" he assured.

"Can you two stop flirting!?" Wally said, he made a gagging sound and gave Robin a death glare, Artemis seemed to notice and stepped between the two, "Wally stand down" M'gann said, "you've never cared about me this much???" Robin laughed, "Besides till you man up and admit she belongs on the team, me and you aren't close" He stopped

"Fine with me, I'm gonna go to my girlfriend" Wally said, he walked out and left, "Tch- always flexing that he has one" Robin laughed, "You'll get one some days Robin" M'gann said, he laughed, "Nah, i'll get one with the mask, without, no one would wanna date me" he Said.

"What school do you attend?" Artemis asked, "Uh, I'm not gonna answer that" he shrugged, she nodded, it was understandable, it could lead to some serious issues with his identity.

"It's funny how everyone knows each other's identities, but we still don't know yours" Artemis laughed, "I'm not rushing you by the way" she reassured, he smiled, "I would love too, but BatMan wants me to keep it a secret" he said annoyed.

"That sucks.." M'gann said, he nodded, "How are you feeling?" M'gann asked, "Gross, but better" he laughed, "it still hurts but I'm definitely doing better" he reassured.

Artemis moved her arm a bit so the cape doesn't fall, and she felt a sharp thing graze her arm, "ow" she flinched in pain, causing the cape to fall.

Her arm had a long paper thin cut, "What the hell!?" She said, Robin grabbed his cape and removed the sharp object, "What the?? What's this?..." he examined the sharp object, "it looks like a S-" the strange object began to glow.

"Agh-" Robin dropped the stone and grabbed his stomach, "s-step on it!!" M'gann panicked. Artemis quickly stepped on the stone, shattering it.

Robin took quick breaths and stood up, "What the hell was that!!!" He shouted, "someone must've put that in your cape, maybe that's why you were so sick" Artemis suggested.
