Wally POV.
It's been three years since Artemis turned into a one year old and that I lost the love of my life.
Robin always told me to move on from her but I don't think I can do that, I don't think I will ever love girl as much I loved Artemis, she was my spitfire but Sportsmaster stole her away from me.
Sportmaster, when I can my hands on him, I will make him pay for what he did. I am also a little jealous at Roy because he gets to see her every day and I haven't seen her since she was one.
"Hey Wally what are you thinking about?" M'gann asked, she probably sensed my emotions.
"Do you remember when Artemis was still a teenager?" I asked M'gann.
"Yes, do you" I remember everything; the first time I saw her I thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world. Or the time she died in that simulation. Or the day she found out Sportsmaster killed her mother right before her eyes and how devasted she was, she cried all night. I also remember going to her mother's funeral, I stood next to Artemis and hold her hand the whole time.
"Yes, a lot has changed, don't you think"
M'gann looked at me "Wally, I know you loved Artemis but it has been three years, don't you think it's time to find someone else."
"But I don't think I can." I said truthfully.
"Team time for mission brieving." The voice of Batman said.
When M'gann and I arrived everyone was already there. Batman looked at us before speaking "Now everyone is here, meet your new teammate Rocket, she's Icon's protégé." A girl with black skin and hair walked from behind Batman "Hey everyone"
"Now for your mission, Sportsmaster escaped from prison." Everyone expression except Rocket went from serious to shocked and in my case angry. "I know, this is still a sore point to you all but when you see him, you are not to attack him. Your mission is to investigate if Sportsmaster is stealing the cobra venom from star labs." Batman said very serious.
How can I not attack him, I mean he took her away from me, he caused her so much pain in the past, he abused her and I didn't even know it.
"Team, get ready for the mission. Welcome to the team Rocket." Aqualad said holding his hand out for the new girl.
Rocket took Aqaulads hand and shook it "Thank you, Aqualad."
I walked to Robin "Do we really need a new girl on the team?"
"I guess so, I don't know anything about her, it's like she is totally new in the hero thing." Robin said while working on his wrist computer.
We were all sitting in our chairs in the bio ship and Rocket sat in Artemis chair "I have a question, my designation is B09 but there are just seven of us, so why is that?"
"Well, Red Arrow isn't really part of the team and then there was Artemis." M'gann said, taking a breath at the last part.
Rocket looked at us "Look I am still new at this so who's Sportsmaster ,who is Artemis and what happened with her?"
My eyes went wide "Artemis was an amazing archer and a member of the team. The reason she's not on the team is because Sportmaster, her dad turned her into a one year old." I said as calmly as I could.
"I don't understand, if she had a criminal as a father why did you let her stay on the team, I mean what if she was a spy?"
I jumped up, from my chair and walked to Rocket "She has been through so much in her life Sportmaster abused her, trained her to be an assassin and yet she fought him every time and never showing mercy. Until the day he decided to murder her mother right in front of her eyes in hope Artemis would join the Shadows and when she didn't, he turned her into a one year old. And we were doing great with just the six of us but now we have you, a newbie who don't know anything about who we are and what we do." I screamed at her. Rocket looked like someone just kicked her right in the face.
"Kid Flash, enough. Apologize now." Aqualad said strictly. I just ran to the back of the ship. Robin followed me.
"Who does she think she is, talking about Artemis that way." I said to myself kicking the ship
Robin walked up to me "You know kicking the ship won't help anyone. But I get your point."
"Robin, Kid Flash we are landing please take your seats" M'gann said through the link after Robin and I were talking for a few minutes.
"Miss Martian please set up the mind link and remember the plan. Try to avoid being seen. And Kid Flash please don't attack Sportsmaster alone." Aqualad said calmly.
"What do you mean not alone?" I asked, shocked.
Aqualad looked at me "We all have unfinished business with him. Now you and Robin take the west side, while Miss Martian and I take the north, Superboy take the south and Zatanna and Rocket take the east. Now go"
"WOW this is weird" Rocket said and I glared at her before walking away with Robin.
"You know, this remind me of the first mission Artemis ever went on with us, you treated her exactly like you treated Rocket." Robin said after a few minute of silence.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I growled.
"You hated Artemis for taking Red Arrows place and now you hate Rocket for taking Artemis place."
I was about to answer when Robin stopped me "Look, it's him."
I looked at the direction and saw Sportsmaster. "We found Sportsmaster, are we ready for revenge?"
"Absolutely" Aqualad said.
That was all I needed to hear and I ran to Sportsmaster "Remember me Sportsmaster"
Before he could do anything and punched him right in the face. Sportsmaster fell to the ground "Oh look it's Flash jr, tell me how is my daughter doing?" he said while he stood up.
My hands turned into fists "She's not your daughter anymore and she never was, the way you treated her" I heard voice say behing me so I turned around and saw Superboy jumping from a tree.
"Looks like the whole gang is here, did you miss me. Oh wait you wanted to ger revenge for what I did to MY babygirl three years ago. She may be adopted by Black Canary and Green Arrow but she still has my blood flowing through her and no one can change that. She always be my baby girl."
"GAG MIH" Suddenly there was tape on Sportsmasters mouth. Zatanna stepped forwards "Not an another word bug."
"So this is Sportsmaster, he's just an old guy."Rocket said.
Sportsmaster ripped the tape of his mouth "I see you have replaced my daughter"
"She's not your daughter anymore." I said as I ran to Sportsmaster.
No person POV.
"hey Ollie have you heard Sportsmaster escaped from prison today." Dinah said after she kissed Ollie on the cheek.
"WHAT, we need to go after him right now." Ollie said while he got up but Dinah pushed him back "Honey the team gave him a good beat down. Batman said he told me he said something about that Artemis always be his daughter."
"How dare he, he was never her father not the way he treated her." Ollie said.
Artemis walked into the kitchen with a baby born doll "Mommy, will you play baby with me."
"I am so sorry honey but I can't. Daddy and I need to leave but you seven people will be here to stay with you and I am sure they want to play baby with you." Dinah said picking the three year old up and sat her down on the table.
Artemis looked at Ollie "Where are you going?"
"Daddy and Mommy need to go the work but I promise you I will give you a good night kiss before I go to sleep okay." Ollie said just when the door bell rang. Artemis jumped from the table and walked to the door and tried to get it open but she was to short. Ollie walked to the door and opened it and seven people walked inside.
"Hello, Richard, Conner, Kaldur, Zatanna, Raqual,Megan and Wally. Dinah their here let's go. Good Night baby, be a good girl okay." Ollie said as he gave Artemis a kiss on her forehead.
"Hello everybody, bye honey." Dinah said also giving Artemis a kiss on her forehead and closed the door.
"So this is Artemis?" Raqual asked as she looked at the three year old.
"Yes, hello pumkin, auntie Zantanna has a present for you." Zatanna said and gave a small box to Artemis.
Artemis opened it and saw a doll in there "Thank you Auntie Zatanna."
"Artemis, this is Raqual, a new friend to some of us." Kaldur said pointing at Raqual.
"I am hungry where is the kitchen?" Wally asked. Artemis grabbed his hand and walked him to the kitchen. "WOW, I don't think I ever seen a kitchen this big. Not even at your house Dick." Wally said looking at the kitchen with his mouth open.
"I know right, so Artemis what do you want to do?" Richard asked.
"I want to show you my room." Artemis said as she grabbed Dick's hand and dragged him with her.
Artemis opened the door and Dick saw a big dark green room full with toys and girly stuff "So this is your room. Is green your favorite color?"
"Yes, do you like it?"Artemis said looking at Richard.
"Yes, your room is bigger than mine, I didn't know it was possible. Let's go down stairs" Richards said.
"This house is enormous, I have never seen a house this big. The living room is as big as my entire house." Raqual said.
"So Artemis what do you want to do now." Conner said sitting on the cough.
Artemis climbed on his lap and Conner placed a hand on her back so she woulnd't fall "Could you tell me a story?" Artemis asked with her best puppy eyes.
"Of course we can Arty." Megan said as she sat down next to Conner and everyone also sat down on the cough or ground.
"This is a story about a beautiful girl with long blond hair and her name was Artemis." Megan began. Artemis looked her "Just like me" Megan giggled "Yes just like you. Artemis was kind, funny and loving person but her daddy was an evil man and he wasn't nice to her when she was a child." Megan said as Zatanna continued on with the story "So Artemis had a hard time trusting people. Her daddy trained her to be a criminal but Artemis wanted to be a hero, so she used her power to do good to the world instead of bad things.
"One time, she saved a red haired boy from a bully and as thanks for that she became a part of the superhero club." Robin continued while looking at Wally.
Kaldur continued "Artemis didn't tell them that her father was evil because she was so scared that they wouldn't trust her anymore. But one time she was forced to tell the truth and all of her friends said to her that she couldn't pick her family and that they still trusted her.
"Artemis was more trusting and open to her friends but one day her father killed her mother because she became a hero. Artemis was so sad that she kept crying but her friends didn't leave her side once. They knew she needed them and after a while Artemis fell asleep on the couch with her best friends surrounding her. Conner continued.
"The red head and Artemis didn't get along at first but slowly they fell in love with eachother. But one day Artemis saved the red haid but Artemis didn't make it out of that battle the way she used to be. Her friends were so sad but they know Artemis is in a better life without pain and sorrow. The end." Wally finished smiling.
"That was a beautiful story."Artemis said as she yawned.
"Oke time for bed little one." Conner said as he picked up Artemis and brought her to bed.
"That story was about her wasn't it." Raqual said more to herself than to the others.
"Yes" Was all Wally said.
