A/N: I am sure you have all heard by now, but Season 3 of "Young Justice" has just been confirmed and I couldn't be happier! I literally screamed, then cried for about five minutes when I read the trending article on Facebook the other night and I STILL can't get over the fact that my favorite DC cartoon since "Justice League" has been renewed after three years. Our voices have been heard and we can finally get another kickass season of an amazing show. I guess a lot of fanfics will be popping up soon too; which makes me even happier.

Anyways, enough fangirling. It's time for the next update. Thank you so much to those of you who have reviewed and left me some feedback on how you're receiving the story. I'm pleased to have received mostly positive reviews so far and I hope that the review count will continue to grow as time goes on. You guys are awesome!

"The Dinner"

Paige was silent as she followed Artemis and Mr. Watson up the rickety, old steps of Artemis's former apartment building. Mr. Watson was an older man in his late fifties. He had a huge beer gut, salt and peppered colored hair with a receding hairline, and a huge bushy mustache. Paige made a wild guess that he was a smoker due to the overpowering stench of Newport smoke that was clinging to his clothing and skin. She purposefully walked a few steps behind him and her caseworker to avoid having her nostrils being overrun by the smell.

The group walked through the doorway of the eighth floor of the apartment building and Mr. Watson led them down the hall to an old brown door, the paint showing signs of wear and peeling. He pulled a key ring out of his back pocket and began moving keys around in search for the right one, a sigh escaping his lips before he let out a gruff cough.

"No one's lived in this apartments since you and your pops left. Let's just say, no one was too keen on the idea of living in an apartment that once served as a crime scene."

"I can understand that." Artemis said, a sad smile warming her lips. "Thanks for letting me in on such short notice."

"It's no problem hon. Be sure to lock up on your way out. I gotta get back downstairs and wait on the electrician to show up. He's supposed to be rewiring the Madison apartment on the second floor."

Artemis giggled as her thoughts turned to the Madison family- two black parents who were madly in love with an entire tribe of children. "They're still living here?"

"Sure are. They added two more kids to their growing brood since you left. That makes six kids living in that two bedroom apartment. Cheryl and Ryan have three bunk beds, and one of 'em's in the living room. If they didn't pay their rent on time each month, I would have sent them packing years ago."

"Right then. Thanks again Mr. Watson. I appreciate it."

The old man pushed the apartment door open and nodded before making his way back to the stairwell. Artemis then took a deep breath before stepping into the apartment and flipping the light switch on beside the door. She then nodded, giving Paige permission to step inside. The teen walked in slowly as she looked around the dingy apartment. It smelled old and rather musty almost like mothballs were being kept somewhere inside. It was also very cold, more than likely due to the fact that the heat hadn't been turned on in seven years. The walls were paneled with a dark brown wood and the floor was covered in a musty green carpet that one would typically find in old brownstone apartments. The living room and kitchen area were connected, separated by a mere half-wall. There were a few items in the house that had been left behind when Artemis had moved in with her sister like the old microwave, a plaid patterned couch, and the trophy shelf where a few of the families old archery trophies still stood, collecting dust.

The door closed loudly behind the two girls and Paige jumped before looking over her shoulder towards Artemis. The older woman had her arms wrapped around her waist as she looked around the apartment, a sad smile on her face.

"So...this is where you grew up?" Paige spoke, breaking the silence.

Artemis nodded before walking further into the house, memories seeping through the air and into the inner crevices of her skull, making the pain of the memories grow stronger. She walked into the kitchen and pulled one of the top drawers open, the drawer bending at an awkward angle as it struggled to stay on its track.

"This drawer got broken the summer that I was ten. My sister came home late and dad shoved her into it. The corner cut through her side and she had to go to the hospital to get stitches." The blonde moved from the kitchen and into the living room, Paige watching her as she raised her hand towards a whole in the wall beside the bathroom door. "See this hole? My dad punched his fist through it by accident. He was aiming for my face when I was thirteen. I ducked out of the way and his fist split right through the paneling. He was so mad about the damages that he threw me to the floor and continued to kick me in the stomach. He didn't stop until I started coughing up blood."

Artemis motioned for Paige to follow her and the teen obeyed. They headed down the narrow hallway to a bedroom in the back where two twin-sized beds were positioned opposite each other, their sheets stripped revealing floral-patterned and stained mattresses. There was a hole in one of the floor boards in between the beds, an old night stand table that had black electrical tape wrapped around one of its legs, a lamp with a dirty white shade covering its top, and a tall dresser that had a thick layer of dust on it.

"This was my bedroom." Artemis spoke as she resumed her memory tour. "My bed was the one on the left and my sister Jade's was the one on the right. We shared this room up until the day that Jade ran from home. Dad pulled the lock off the door when I was ten to keep us from locking ourselves inside. The two of us wanted to hide from him...especially after he started to pimp us out to his filthy friends as payment for the debts he owed."

"What?" Paige asked, her voice just above a whisper as she stared at Artemis in shock.

The blonde nodded before turning around to face the girl. Paige could see the worry and fear lining the woman's face and she could see the un-shed tears in her eyes. It was more than obvious that Artemis had gathered an impeccable amount of strength up just to bring her to such a horrible place.

"This apartment and all of its horrible memories are a part of my testimony Paige. That is why I brought you here today. I was beaten, starved, raped, and neglected for years. I had no one in the entire world to take care of me other than my father and that man never showed me a single ounce of love. I always remained with him because I had no one else after my sister abandoned us; but if it hadn't been for the support of my friends and the love I received from the boy who would eventually become my husband, I would have never had the strength to endure and make it out of this place alive with a story to tell to people like you. So you see Paige, I know what you are going through. In fact, I might have had it just a little worse than you do now. So when you said earlier that I couldn't possibly understand what you're going through...when you said you wonder why I even bothering helping you? When you wonder why I help any child who finds themselves in a situation like yours, it's because I have been there. I made it out of my hell hole and you can do the same Paige. All you need is a little guidance from someone who cares enough about you to help you out."

Paige was silent as she took in Artemis's words. She looked around the bedroom one final time, her eyes stopping on a faded and torn poster of the Cheshire Cat on an Alice in Wonderland poster.

"We should get you back to St. Anne's." Artemis said brushing past the girl as she headed towards the front door. Paige stood still for a moment as she looked around the room one final time. She then turned to follow Artemis out.


"Hello Artemis. This is Quentin Atteberry, your father's attorney. I am so sorry that it has taken me so very long to get back to you. I am pleased that you have decided to take up your father's offer to handle his affairs. I would like to schedule a meeting with you for sometime next week; and to save you a little bit of air fare, I will be coming to visit you in Gotham this time around. We can meet up and begin to handle the first few aspects of your father's estate. Please, call me back as soon as you get this message so we can get a proper meeting scheduled. I am looking forward to your call. Thanks, and have a great day!"


Artemis walked through the front door of her home and sighed as the door slammed shut behind her. She rested her back against the door and stared up at the ceiling for a while as she thought over the day's events. Going back to that dingy old apartment had never been on her "to do" list for the day, and it had definitely taken a lot out of her. Being confronted with so many horrific memories and being reminded of how many times she thought she would never make it out of that apartment made her feel like that sad, scared little girl she had been all those years ago. It was tough on her, but thankfully, the visit had done more for Paige than she could have hoped for. The teen seemed to have mellowed out after their field trip and she was actually looking forward to Artemis's visit the following week. They may not have made too much progress with the girl's mother, but they had formed a level that wasn't too close to trust, but one that was definitely of understanding.

Artemis removed her coat and placed it on the nearby coat rack before placing her keys on the end table. She then made her way towards the kitchen in search of a certain redhead. He had texted her on her way home to announce that they were having tomato soup for dinner and she and her growling stomach were both eager for a bowl. Shen she reached the kitchen, it wasn't her freckled face Speedster waiting on her. Instead, it was one very angry Zatanna Zatara. Zatanna was sitting at the kitchen table with her arms crossed over her chest and her right leg crossed over the left as she drummed her fingers impatiently against her arm.

"Zee...? What are you doing here?" Artemis asked.

"How could you Artemis?" the raven-haired beauty snapped, not even bothering to offer any sort of greeting or explanation as to what she was doing there.

"I'm sorry?" Artemis asked as she raised an eyebrow. Zatanna stood from her seat and crossed the room to stand in front of her friend.

"You went to Wayne Manor and spoke to Dick, and apparently, the two of you made amends. Do you mind explaining why you thought that was a good idea?"

Artemis sighed as she reached a hand up to pull out her hair tie. She knew that Zatanna would find out about her reconciliation with Wayne Enterprises's Co-CEO eventually, but she didn't think it would be this soon. Artemis had spoken to her sister about the rekindled friendship and there wasn't a doubt in her mind that her darling older sister had let it slip to their friend.

"He's my best friend Zee, you know, aside from you." Artemis sighed as she rested a hand on the girl's shoulder. "I hated the fact that we stopped talking to each other Zatanna. I hated not being able to have him around to be my dorky best friend and he felt the same way. He truly is sorry."

"Sorry for fighting with you, or sorry for hurting me and breaking my heart; or did that little detail just happen to slip your mind Artemis?"

"No Zatanna, I didn't forget about you two breaking about. Look, I know this is gonna be hard for you, but I'm sure we can all find a way to make this thing work. Dick and I have been best friends since the day we met and I refuse to waste one more day being mad at him over a situation that doesn't even concern me."

Zatanna parted her lips to speak, but she closed them quickly in hesitation to do so. Thinking over her next words carefully to avoid an even bigger fight, she took a deep breath to calm herself.

"Artemis, there is so much more to what happened between me and Dick than you will ever know. What the two of us had is damaged beyond repair and I don't think it is possible for me and him to ever be friends again. So please, try and understand me when I say that I want absolutely nothing to do with him. If you want to be friends with him again, by all means, go right ahead. I can't stop you from doing what you want to do. Just don't expect me to join in on the fun."

Artemis was taken aback by Zatanna's coldness, and she was even more shocked when she snatched her purse off the kitchen table before storming out of the kitchen. Artemis didn't watch her go, but she jumped when the front door slammed shut and echoed loudly off the hallway walls. A gnawing feeling of guilt clawed at the blonde's heartstrings as she listened to the sound of Zatanna's engine starting outside. With a groan, she combed her fingers through her hair before making her way over to the abandoned pot of tomato soup left on the stove. She lifted the lid and smiled as the delicious smell wafted through her nose. She reached into the overhead cabinet and grabbed a bowl. Just as she grabbed the ladle to spoon the soup into its holding cell, a strong pair of arms snaked around her waist from behind. She purred as her captor's arms tightened around her waist, their lips moving to her neck as they began to pepper kisses down its length, stopping at the sensitive tendon between her shoulder and throat that made her knees buckle.

"Welcome home." Wally's deep voice greeted her ears. Artemis set her bowl down on the counter before turning around in Wally's embrace and wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him down so their lips could meet in a passionate kiss. Artemis hummed against his lips, her stomach fluttering as her mind drifted towards their emptied king-sized bed on the second floor of their home. She quickly pushed her perverted thoughts to the back of her mind as Wally broke their kiss. He smiled at her before pressing his lips to her forehead sweetly.

"That was quite a welcome." she said with a playful smile.

"Well, I heard you and Zatanna arguing in here and thought you could use a little spark to put a smile on your face."

Artemis's smile quickly fell at the mentioning of her fight with Zatanna. She turned to finish filling her bowl before moving to take a seat at the kitchen table. Wally joined her a few moments later and rested his chin in the palm of his hand to watch her eat.

"She's mad that me and Dick made up." she began as she ate a spoonful of her soup. "I tried to get her to understand my position in the situation. Dick and I have been best friends since my family first moved to Gotham and we have been through so much together. I can't just not forgive him because they had a bad breakup. Their spat has nothing to do with me as far as I'm concerned and I have no right to choose sides!"

Artemis took another slurp from her soup before making a face of discomfort, and her husband didn't fail to notice. Artemis placed a hand on her stomach before standing from her seat and walking to the fridge.

"Something wrong?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

Artemis shook her head as she began rummaging through the fridge. "No, I'm just super hungry is all. I didn't eat lunch at work today thanks to a little field trip that me and Paige took; and I don't think soup is gonna be enough to fill me up."

"I could always make you a grilled cheese?" Wally suggested. "It's what I ate with my bowl earlier."

"Nah, I'm not really feeling grilled cheese today." Artemis said as she returned to the table with a jar of dill pickles. She quickly unscrewed the lid and set it off to the side before grabbing the largest one and taking a loud, crunchy bite. Wally raised an eyebrow at the action, but said nothing as she finished the pickle and resumed eating her soup.

"So...Dick stopped by earlier today to patch things up with me." Wally said, ignoring the fact that his wife was eating such a strange combination of food. "Since he apologized to you for the way he treated you and he apologized to me as well, I couldn't help but to fogive him. After all, he's one of my best friends too. I guess Kori's supposed to be getting in from Europe tomorrow afternoon and he wants us to have dinner with the two of them at the manor."

"Dinner at Wayne Manor huh?" Artemis said, a thoughtful look on her face. "It's been a while since we've done that. I mean, we used to eat over there all them time when he and Zatanna were together. Is it wrong that I feel strange going without her there?"

"No, I think it will be strange too; but Dick is our friend, and from what the two of you have told me about Kori, she seems like a great girl. I guess it couldn't hurt to pay them a visit. Besides, if Alfred is making grilled sirloin with his signature seasoned potatoes, I cannot miss this date!"

Artemis laughed before finishing the rest of her soup and moving to put her bowl in the sink. Wally grabbed the lid to the pickle jar to put them away, but was stopped by Artemis as she made a grab for it and snatched it out of his hands.

"Sorry, I thought you were done."

Artemis shook her head before reaching to grab another one. "Nah, I think I'm just gonna take these with me to the study. They'll make a good snack!"


The next evening came quickly and the air was rather chilly, forcing the Speedster and Archer to done their winter coats on their way to Wayne Manor. They drove with the heat on full blast while an old Nirvana song belted through the speakers. Wally turned the volume down as they turned onto Wayne Manor's street, pulling up to the front gate. The guard who had been on Bruce Wayne's staff for nearly twenty years recognized Wally's car and let him in without even bothering to ask if he had a scheduled appointment. Wally placed the car in park just outside the front door before cutting the engine off and hopping out to let his wife out of the car. Artemis shifted uncomfortably in her seat before taking Wally's hand and stepping out of the vehicle. Wally raised an eyebrow as he watched her tugging at the bottom of her dress to pull it down.

"You okay?" he asked.

"The one thing I didn't miss about these dinner parties is dressing up." she grumbled as she continued to fuss over the hem. "You know how much I hate wearing dresses!"

Wally smiled before wrapping an arm around her waist and pressing a kiss to her temple. "Well, I think you look absolutely beautiful. You should wear a dress more often babe."

"Not a chance." she said with a smirk before taking his hand in hers and walking up the front steps. Just as Artemis lifted her finger to ring the doorbell, the front door opened revealing Alfred dressed in a black suit with a red vest underneath. He smiled brightly, his mustache curling with his lips as he stepped aside to usher them into the house.

"Ah, Sir Wallace, Madame Artemis, welcome." he said in greeting.

Wally smiled as he released Artemis's hand to give Alfred a hug, which the butler gladly accepted. "It's great to see you again Alfred. It's been way too long."

"I was just about to say the same thing. Master Dick and Madame Kori are in the dining hall waiting for you. Shall I take your coats?"

"Please do." Artemis said as she shrugged her black leather jacket off and handed it to the butler. Wally did the same before shooting Artemis a seductive look, admiring how her little red dressed hugged the curves of her body nicely. The two of them took each other's hand once more before making their way towards the dining room.

Dick and Kori's laughter reached the couple's ears as they neared the entryway to the dining hall. The aviator donning Dick and his Starfire stopped their story telling when they felt Artemis and Wally's presences enter the room.

"Guys, you made it." Dick exclaimed with a bright smile. He and Kori stood from their seats and approached the two of them.

"We're glad we could be here." Wally said as Artemis nodded in agreement.

"Hi there." Kori said with a bright smile as she extended her hand towards Wally who took it graciously. "Dick has told me so much about you that that I feel like I already know you. I'm Kori Anders. It's very nice to meet you."

"Ah, the one and only Starfire." Wally said with a smile. "I've heard quite a few things about you too. All positive things though, so no worries."

"Likewise." Kori spoke before shifting her attention to Artemis. "Artemis, I'm glad to be seeing you again under...better circumstances than when we last met."

Artemis laughed before nodding her head. "Yes. I like this meeting a whole lot better."

"What do you say we sit down and have a glass of wine?" Dick suggested. "Alfred said dinner will be ready shortly, so we all have a little time to catch up."

Everyone moved towards the dining table and took their seats. Dick then passed a fresh bottle of Chardonnay around the table, each present person filling their glass halfway before passing it on to the next person. Dick inhaled the sweet aroma before taking a sip and setting his glass on the table while his companions did the same.

"So Dick, I've heard Wayne Enterprises has accepted you well." Wally said, striking up a conversation. "Last time we had the chance to sit down like this, you were still being trained."

"Well, Bruce wanted to be sure that I could handle the responsibilities of running a multi-billion-dollar company, so he spent a lot of one on one time teaching me the tools of the trade. I mostly handle the paperwork side of the business and crunch numbers while he goes to all the big meetings and fundraising events with fellow investors; but my ideas are always included in board meetings and he actually likes my work. A few of my proposals will be going into effect very soon. I can't really discuss the details because the next project is so big, but I'm sure it will be a huge success just like all of our previous endeavors."

"What about you Wally?" Kori spoke up. "Dick tells me that you're a rather talented, aspiring author."

Wally and Artemis exchanged a glance and Artemis smiled, giving Wally the okay to tell their friends about his latest news.

"Well, I haven't had any major publications outside of a few short stories int he Gotham Gazette; but I met with my publisher yesterday and he actually gave me the okay to publish my latest crime novel."

"Really, that's great Wall-man!" Dick exclaimed as he took hold of his wine glass. "A toast to Wally and the future success of his novel."

Everyone clinked their glasses together before taking a sip and setting them back on the table. Kori looked towards their two guests and could see that they weren't too cheerful after sharing such big news.

"Something's wrong." she said. "You don't seem overly excited about becoming a published author. How come?"

Artemis cleared her throat before taking her husband's hand and lacing their fingers together. "Wally's publicist only agreed to publish his book if he included a few...intimate details about my past with my father."

"What?" Dick said, his eyes narrowing. "Why would your boss want you to do that. Does he have any idea how traumatic your past is for both you and Wally?"

Wally sighed. "He feels that if I add a touch of reality to my novel, it will make it a bestseller. I want to be published more than anything, but it feels so wrong divulging details about Artemis's past to the public after the case has been closed for many years. I asked for Artemis's permission and surprisingly, she agreed; but still..."

"You feel guilty." Kori concluded. "I know how hard it is to have such a negative light shone on your private life. How do you think I felt when my sister Koma's tax fraud came to light and my reputation was nearly torn to shreds by the press?"

"I forgot all about that." Wally said as he recalled the incident that had happened nearly three years ago. The press had jokingly dubbed Kori's sister as "Blackfire," a play off her sister's superstar name. Koma had been sentenced to ten years in the state penitentiary for her insurance fraud crimes.

"Yeah, well although the circumstances are different, I can understand not wanting to have your personal lives exposed for the world to see." Kori said with a smile. "Dick and I are here for you two if you need us, just remember that."

"That's very sweet of you Kori." Artemis said with a smile. "Thanks."

The conversation came to a halt as the swinging French doors leading into the kitchen swung open. Alfred came into the room wheeling four covered plates on his serving cart. He moved around the table as he set a plate in front of everyone. He then placed another bottle of Chardonnay on the table just in case.

"Dinner is served." he said with a bow. Dick thanked the older gentleman who responded with a curt nod before wheeling his cart back into the kitchen.

Everyone uncovered their plates and couldn't stop their stomachs from growling as the smell of freshly steamed vegetables, juicy sirloin, and sautéed potatoes and onions filled their nostrils.

"Dick, don't get me wrong, I missed you terribly my friend." Wally said as he placed his napkin in his lap. "But I have missed Alfred's cooking something fierce man."

Everyone laughed at the former track star's confession before grabbing their silverware and digging into their dinner.


Artemis stood alone in the parlor as she stared out the large face window that looked out over the Manor's courtyard. There was a large fountain in the center of the tall green hedges that was currently inactive due to the cold weather; but Artemis could still imagine the large geysers that would spit water up into the air during the summer. Bruce or Dick would host garden parties in the spring and summer and Alfred would always prepare delicious tarts and sweets for the guests. Now, the courtyard looked rather dreary and showed no signs of its usual beauty.

"Not feeling very social tonight, huh?" Dick's voice came from behind her. Artemis turned around and smiled as he walked into the room, the sound of Kori and Wally's laughter down the hall.

"No, not really." Artemis said with a shrug before turning back to stare at the dormant fountain. "I guess I had too many glasses of wine. I started feeling a little dizzy, so I thought I'd have a little alone time to calm down."

Dick walked and stood beside her, resting his hand on her shoulder as he too stared out at the courtyard. "I hope you don't regret coming here tonight. I know that things seem a little…weird without Zatanna being here with you."

"Things weren't bad at all. I mean sure, Zatanna is my best friend and I'd love it if she were here, but Kori is great and the two of you seem to be…very close. You know, I have to be honest with you for a minute…Zatanna was very angry when she found out that you and I buried the hatchet."

Dick's smile fell and Artemis could feel tension radiating off of him. "What did she say?"

Artemis shrugged. "Nothing too revealing. She just said there is so much about your relationship that I will never understand, and that I shouldn't be too eager about the two of you making amends. She isn't interested, long story short."

Dick was silent for a moment. "I don't blame her."

The two of them were quiet after that, opting to stare out the window instead of delving more into Dick's past relationship. After a while, they could hear Wally and Kori's laughter growing closer as they neared the parlor. The two of them stopped laughing when they stepped into the room, noticing the seriousness lingering in the air.

"There you two are." Wally said, trying to liven things up. "We were worried you'd gotten lost somewhere."

Dick put on a smile before turning around and walking over to Kori. "We were just reminiscing about the time we've missed together, that's all. No worries though."

Dick and Kori continued talking about something else while Wally approached his wife who had yet to turn around. He placed a hand on her shoulder and raised an eyebrow at how warm her skin was to the touch.

"Babe, are you okay?" he asked worriedly.

Artemis turned to him, her eyelids heavy. "I'm fine. I'm just…not feeling very well."

Wally nodded in understanding before wrapping an arm around her waist. He turned to Dick who had just questioned whether or not he wanted to shoot a game of pool in the billiard room.

"Actually guys, I think we're gonna head home. Artemis had a long day at the office and she's a little worn out. Maybe we can hang out again this weekend or something?"

Kori and Dick's faces were lined with concern, but they nodded understandingly. Before offering them condolences and wishing Artemis luck at getting better.


"What were you and Dick talking about so intensely before Kori and I walked in?" Wally called out to Artemis from their bathroom. Artemis shivered before climbing into their bed and pulling the blankets up to her shoulders. She then rolled onto her side and sighed in content from the thought of being able to rest.

"Zatanna." she answered his question as she allowed her eyes to slide closed. "I told him what she said during our little argument yesterday. I was kind of hoping that he'd fill me in on what she meant by there's more to the situation that I don't need to know about. I'm really starting to wonder what that something is. I mean, I'm their best friend. I could undoubtedly fix whatever' bothering them, you know?"

Wally spit a glob of toothpaste into the sink before rinsing his mouth out and shutting off the light. He stood in the adjoining doorway and watched Artemis silently for a moment. She was lying on the bed, her eyes closed, and her chest slowly rising and falling. She looked a lot better than she had when they'd left the manor just a half-an-hour earlier, but she still didn't look up to par.

"How are you feeling?" he asked her, suddenly changing the subject.

Artemis shrugged, not bothering to open her eyes to look at him. "I feel a little queasy. Then again, how often do I even drink? I think the wine was too strong for me and my body isn't used to it. That's all."

"Right." Wally said as he forced a smile, trying not to show how worried he actually was for her. Ignoring the gnawing feeling in the back off his mind, he shut the bedroom lights off before climbing into bed and pulling Artemis closed to him. After resting his head on top of hers and whispering his "I love yous," the Speedster found himself falling asleep alongside her.
