Artemis was about ready to kill all of her friends. Why did they always drag her into their stupid plans? Their closest safe house had been compromised, so now they were paying Jason's older brother a visit. She swore that Jason and Kori did it just to annoy Dick. She was fine with that, but it seemed juvenile occasionally. Then again, she was the oldest in the group.
Another part of her knew Jason was doing this just so he could be close with his brother. He always had the worst ways of showing affection for his family. And she knew Kori missed Dick, even if he didn't miss her. At least they had both moved on. Dick with Barbara, and Kori with Roy.
There was a lot of bad things about the visits though. Sometimes she'd get lost in thought remembering things from the team, when she'd went to school with Dick and Barbara, and worse, Wally. She missed him, he was the love of her life. Sure, she loved Jason too, but it just… wasn't the same. It was better to just forget Wally, at least try.
Anyways, back to want to the reason for her murderous thoughts. She was standing in Barbara and Richard Grayson's kitchen at about five in the morning, wearing civvies, staring at the five boys sprawled out on the couches and floor of the living room. Younger versions of Dick, Conner, Kaldur, Roy (She was guessing the clone) and Wally, all in full costume. Wow, just wow. Great, now she was going to have a depressing montage of memories.
"So, this is going to be a strange experience." Roy (Arsenal) said, breaking the awed silence. Yeah it really was.
Artemis was still staring at the sleeping younger Wally, causing the other three to give her sympathetic glances. She snapped out of it when she saw them. She didn't want to be pitied, but at least she knew they cared.
She heard Barbara and Dick come towards them. "So, you guys finally decided to show up, we've been expecting you for a few weeks." Dick said in a slight joking tone.
"So, what's with the kids?" Jason asked gesturing to the boys.
"Time travel mishap." Barbara answered. Oh, that explained it.
"So, that is you, Red Arrow, Kaldur, Super boy, and West." Jason said in a surprised tone.
"The girls too, they're in the guest room." Dick said. Ugh, that meant younger her was here too. And that meant explaining some of her more questionable choices to teenage her. Well, she didn't have to, but there would definitely still be an awkward atmosphere.
Artemis glanced at the kids sleeping on the couch and noticed that they'd all awoken. They were watching them, but they were far enough away that they probably couldn't hear the quiet conversation. With the exception of super boy of course.
"Who're they?" Conner demanded. "Is that Artemis? And Roy?" He probably shouldn't have revealed that he was awake so soon, but he had been incredibly impulsive at that age.
"Yes, it's me." She answered.
"I'm Roy, but the real one, not the clone." Roy said. Sometimes he could be a bit harsh when it came to talking about his clone. Artemis got along with both of them now, saying one was her brother in law, and one was on a sort of team with her. She saw his clone's eyes widen.
"How much have you told them?" She asked Barb and Dick.
"That they're in the future, we're married, and we're on robin number five." Dick recapped. Honestly Artemis wouldn't have given away that much info so early, but oh well.
"So, who are they?" Wally asked impatiently.
"Jason Todd and Koriand'r." Dick answered gesturing to each of them as he said their name. Kori and Jason waved.
"They are the 'Jason and Kori' Barbara mentioned earlier?" Kaldur asked. So, she'd mentioned those two earlier?
"Yeah." Barbara answered.
Artemis heard people walking towards the kitchen from the direction of the guest bedroom. She assumed it was mini her and the rest of the girls from the original team. She heard a gasp from her younger self, when they got close enough to see them.
A/N: I hope this is a good chapter. Please review. Thanks for all the reviews, favorites and follows. So if you hadn't noticed yet, Jason and Artemis are dating. I know it's random, but it just popped in my head and it seemed possible.
