A/N:AnotherYoung Justice story, wheee~
DISCLAIMER: Sadly, I do not own Young Justice or any of its characters. :(
Wally and Artemis walked into to the doors and the first thing they heard was clapping. Artemis bit her lip, as she hoped they didn't miss M'gann's performance. The cafeteria was packed! She checked the clock on the wall, 8:17. Wally noticed Robin waving to them. He entwined his fingers with Artemis' and walked over to him "Hey," Wally whispered, crouching down to Robin. He was in an aisle seat, and next to him was Zatanna, then Conner, then Kaldur.
"Hey! Where have you been?" Robin asked, his voice trying to be louder than the annoying clapping.
Wally shrugged. "Did M'gann perform yet?" Artemis asked.
"Nah, the guy that was supposed to go before her was late, so we had to wait a couple extra minutes until he showed up. M'gann is up next though." Robin said, glancing over at Artemis and Wally's hands. Artemis quickly ripped hers away.
"So, um..." Wally said. "Where are we supposed to sit?" he asked. Robin looked around.
"I dunno, I guess that's what you get for being late," he said with his signature laugh.
Artemis sighed. "It's fine, I see some seats in the back, actually." she said starting to walk over. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to see a very distraught M'gann.
"M'gann! What are you doing here? I thought you were up next?" Robin asked. M'gann looked like she was about to cry.
"I know, I know, I just- I need to talk to Artemis." And with that, she put her hand on Artemis' shoulder and directed her towards the backstage area.
"M'gann! What's wrong?" The archer asked. M'gann took a heavy breath.
"I cant do this Artemis. I can't go up there. Ugh, Hello Megan! What was I thinking..." she said.
Artemis scrunched her eyebrows. "Why not? You've been practicing this all week. You're great, M'gann. I thought you did this to impress Super-Boy." she said.
"I know, but now that the night is here, I- I- I'm so scared Artemis. I get this weak feeling in my chest and I'll I want to do I hide but if I do that I'll be a coward but if I mess up I'll disappoint myself and I want to cry but I cant and I just-"
"Slow down, M'gann. Look, what you're experiencing is called "stage fright." It's okay. You're just thinking... negative thoughts. Try thinking positive thoughts. I know you can do this, and all you have to do is believe you can too. Take another deep breath and close your eyes." Artemis said.
"Okay." The martian did as she told. "Now, think about Conner." Artemis said. M'gann smiled. "Okay."
"Good. You found a positive thought. Think about him, and show him what you can do." M'gann opened her eyes and smiled.
"Thank you, Artemis," she said hugging her.
"Up next is Megan Morse, singing "Sailboats" by Adam Young!" the talent show announcers' voice boomed off all 4 walls of the room.
"Okay, M'gann. Think positive thoughts. You got this." Artemis said.
M'gann nodded. "You'll be here waiting the whole time, right?" she asked.
"Of course," Artemis said, tucking a piece of hair behind M'gann's ear.
"Okay." She closed her eyes and walked onto the stage.
M'gann's performance was amazing, and Conner was blown away. He didn't tell anyone, but he felt so proud to be her boyfriend. The audience started to clap, but the team was standing up and cheering for her. M'gann ran off stage, jumped up and hugged Artemis. She was so happy for her. "I knew you could do it." she whispered.
