It didn't looked that good for the team, Artemis thought while she shot her last arrows at the never ending row of thugs in front of her.
Sure she had managed to took out Jokers little pets and Megan handled Harleys card games without breaking into a sweat. It then did got a little harder once the cards started to explode, but the Martian girl was tough... well, till the point she realized she was surrounded by flames from the explosives. After that it all went down hill. Harley had an easy game and was about to gave Megan the final blow with a freaking bazooka she pulled out of nowhere.
Where the hell did she got that thing anyway? eBay?
Of course Artemis stepped in to help her currently unconscious friend.
Now she was confronted with the crazy Harlequin and not to mention a howl bunch of henchman. Anytime she defeated one of them he would be replaced by two others. Was there a nest or something? As she reached over her shoulder to get another arrow she signed. 10 left and there was still no end in sight.
Things were definitely not going too well.
Suddenly Artemis heard a scream from Kaldur and looked up.
Mistake, big mistake.
A joker card rewarded her lack of attention by piercing its way into her shoulder.
„Never thought I gonna play that card on you? Huh, Missy?"
Heavily cursing she pulled the card out of her body. At least it didn't explode. A small comfort, really small. She should know better. When did she became that soft? Caring for her teammates right now was a luxury the archer could not afford. She had her own battle to fight.
Artemis didn't bother to reply and the Harlequin didn't gave her a chance to rest while aiming her bazooka at her. In shock the archer watched the clown girl pulling with relish the trigger.
She had to made a decision: Dodge an get the Martina girl take the blow or stay and die.
The newest member of the team made up her mind. There was no going back now, she would stick with her choice, Artemis thought as she watched the missile getting closer. Before it hit its target she closed her eyes.
When no detonation was coming she opened them again in suspicion and blinked. Artemis couldn't believe her luck!
"Missed..." She breathed out in surprise.
"Wasn't aiming at ya."
