Chapter 6 the swan changeling
Hello again! Everyone, thank you for sticking around and reading my story. But, unfortunately, this story is being discontinued.
JOKE JOKE JOKE JOKE
Ps, I have to clarify something, artemis just told the team that klarion had kidnapped her and locked her up. That is all she said, so the team doesn't know about her being a swan, or anything.
Ready for the actual story? Lets begin…
Klarion…
Klarion had been watching his captive escape to gotham. He had watched her the whole time. He knew she would be back though, so he didn't worry. He smirked. Everything was going according to plan.
It was simple really. Especially with that one boy… what was his name again? Something like flash kid, or boy flash. Well it really didn't matter. He looked out of his window into the garden and saw the girl, swan, was eating. His stomach growled. Time to eat.
Artemis…
Artemis was full and ready to go. She wasn't perfect at flying, but if she could get out of this heck hole, well…you know…. The garden was…. So nice… and inviting… and the flowers… smelled… strange but nice… maybe she needed a nap…
(just if you haven't figured it out, the reason artemis keeps falling asleep randomly is because the flowers in the garden are drugged, and the scent goes off at specific times. Just to let you guys know that.)
Hours later…
Artemis cracked one lid open and stretched. What had happened? Right… I fell asleep… she thought. She looked at the sky and noticed it was sunset. She smiled. Soon the moon would come out, and she'd be human again! As she waited for the moon to rise, she waddled over to her pack and started shoving things into it with her beak. When she was done, the moon had came out, and shone onto the lake.
She was ready.
The team…
Wally had gone back into his state of despair, or "tiredness" as he called it. The team had been surprised at artemis' departure.
M'gann was sad because she thought artemis did not want to be earth sisters anymore and so she left.
Kaldur thought artemis had to go to some sort of secret meeting because he had his suspicions about her probably being the mole.
Robin… well… robin was practicing and training more. But wally's reaction had been the most…. Extreme. Robin was starting to worry about him, so being the "good" friend he was, he decided to check on him.
Wally's room…
"WALLY! OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!" robins throat was beginning to get sore after 5 minutes of yelling.
"no." came wally's reply.
"fine. I was coming to show you something delicious.. but whatever."
"is it cake?" wally said as he opened the door.
"no. it was my doughnut from this morning." He said as he pushed the door open and let himself inside. Unsurprisingly, his room was a mess. It was as if a tornado had blown through it.
"sooo…" robin said wanting to know if wally had found anything in artemis' room, "did you find something?" wally looked at him confusedly. "you know… in artemis' room?" wally's face cleared, understanding.
"…"
Robin rolled his eyes. "wally,I can help find her if you show me what you found. After all… I know you like her. I'll be in my room." He cackled and did the ninja thing. Wally rolled his eyes, and walked back into his room.
Artemis…
Human again we'll be human again…her problem kind of reminded her of that movie, beauty and the beast, that one part where all the enchanted people-into-objects started singing that song. She sighed, and stepped into the lake leaving her clothes on the bank.
The moonlight touched her wings, and there was the light. It grew…and well… you know what happens. Swan into human. Taadaa!
Being human again, she walked over to her pile of clothes, and removing the feathery white dress, she changed into her normal clothes.
Ahh… better…. She thought. Now, to get down to business.
Artemis started walking to the road and waited for the truck that had come last night.
A few minutes later after toying with her hair, artemis saw the familiar headlights, and again stepped out onto the road. Except this time, it didn't stop. (kidding!) the truck slowed down and artemis walked to the drivers window. "randy, do you mind if I ride with you again?"
Randy rolled his eyes, but let her in.
In gotham…
Artemis ran to the booth picking up speed, remembering that her visit could only be so long. She ran into the booth and waited to be transported to the cave.
Wally…
Recognized… artemis b06
Wally had been lounging on the couch eating chips, and watching supeys favorite show, static, when suddenly he heard the computer announce someone's arrival. Artemis' arrival. Wally instantly perked up and ran up to the entrance waiting for artemis to materialize.
Artemis…
As soon as artemis materialized, someone attacked her.
Her first thought was, the shadows! So she did the only reasonable thing to do. She kicked the person that was attacking her, twisted his(or her) arm around and pushed the attacker on the ground.
"where are the rest?" artemis growled, then realized something.
"OWW! Is that how you greet people when they try to hug you hello artemis?" wally groaned.
"no. I just thought… you know… that you were a shadow." She offered him her hand.
Wally looked at her than said, "you aren't going to kill me, are you?" he joked.
"fine Baywatch. Don't have my help." She said, pulling back her hand. She watched him groan as he stood up. Then he looked at her expectantly.
"what?" she said in annoyance.
"I think you owe me something." He said grinning.
"like…" she said raising an eyebrow."
"you know, a sorry would be nice."
"sorry." She mumbled. "hey, is there any food left? I'm starving."
"not until you tell me where you went." He said tauntingly, blocking her path to the kitchen.
She looked up at him, narrowing her eyes, "I was… somewhere. Now let me through!"
"nuh uh arty!"
She looked at him in annoyance. "well-" suddenly artemis was cut off by a shriek and someone hugging her.
"AHHH!" artemis looked to see who it was. It was m'gann.
"you're back! I thought you would never come back, but here you are! Where were you? Oh nevermind, tell me later. Are you hungry? I made some cookies!" then the overexcited martian saw wally, and artemis. m'gann giggled.
"oooohhhhh… I'm sorry for interrupting your… special moment. Don't mind me!" the martian chirped, then she walked away, leaving a hungry artemis, and an embarrassed wally. While wally was distracted, artemis took this as a chance to go get something to eat.
Almost there. She thought. Reaching the kitchen. Artemis walked over to the fridge, and looked through it. Seeing some yogurt she liked, she picked it up, grabbed a spoon, and sat on a stool by the island.
"sooo… are you going to tell me or what?" wally said sitting in front of her. "why did you go, and where? Why was there a white feather taped next to the map? And why was there blood on it?"
"I can't tell you. Too dangerous." Artemis said lowering her eyes. Wally's eyes softened.
"you can tell us anything. We're a team, remember?" he said shaking her shoulder.
"yeah, a team." She said, sadly.
"hey what's wrong?" wally asked, starting to get worried about her. He mentally slapped himself. Why was he worried? After all, she was artemis.
"it's nothing." She said, brushing it off, regaining her composure. Then she remembered. She glanced up at the clock on the kitchen wall.
12:22 it read.
Dang it. Time to go in about an hour. She sighed. Might as well get ready to go. She turned to wally.
"do you want to watch a movie or something like that?" she asked him, hoping it would maybe get him to fall asleep.
Wally just stared at her, then waved his hand in front of her face. "artemis are you okay?"
She just rolled her eyes. "well, do you want to?" he just opened, then closed his mouth. "ok. Fine. Whatever Baywatch. Just hurry up with the popcorn." Wally smiled at her as she left the kitchen. He then walked over to the cupboard and grabbed the popcorn.
Artemis…(again)
Artemis went over to the cupboard underneath the tv. She looked at the choices of movies, then chose one. She popped It into the dvd player and waited for it to start. She looked back at the kitchen, curious, to see if wally had finished, and if he was coming. Not seeing him, the archer mentally shrugged, then turned back around to face the tv. Ignoring the commercials, artemis let her thoughts wander. Unfortunately, they wandered to wally. Wally. He is really-WHOAA! No. I'm NOT going to think about him. In that way, or in ANY way. She mentally scolded herself.
"so, what movie are we watching?" artemis jumped and turned to see who it was. Speak of the devil. There was wally, sitting next to her holding a bowl of popcorn.
"hangover 2." She said, turning her gaze to the screen. She reached for some popcorn, but wally pulled the bowl away.
"you still haven't told me anything!" the archer rolled her eyes. (ps, remember, the only thing she told the team was that klarion kidnapped her, and locked her up. She didn't say anything about her being a swan)
The movie started a few minutes later. Artemis had already seen this movie 3 times, and practically already knew the script by heart.
About half way into the movie, wally started to fall asleep. Artemis checked the clock.
"dang it." She muttered.
"what?" a groggy wally asked.
"nothing." She said quickly. She looked out the window and thankfully, the moon was still up. She just hoped wally would fall asleep soon. About fifteen minutes later, artemis looked at wally only to see he was sound asleep on her shoulder. She looked over his face.
He looks really cute when he's sleeping. I could just- TIME TO GO! Her thoughts were interrupted as the sun slowly began lighting up gotham. How am I going to move Baywatch without waking him up? She then found a solution, but she had to hurry. Before she left, she placed another one of her clues where she was sitting before, then hurried out so she could get back in time.
Wally…
Wally stretched and yawned cracking his eyes as sunlight streamed into his room through an open window. Wait! His room? Wally sat up quickly and looked around, then remembered what happened last night. He looked over to where artemis had been sitting, and surprise surprise! She wasn't there.
Truth be told, wally was a bit disappointed. But you know, whatever. Then something caught his eye on where artemis had been sitting. On the cushion, was another white feather.
Finito! I finished with chapter 6! Now to do chapter 7 will take 7 reviews! I know, kind of ironic, 7 reviews, 7 chapters. Anyway, review please! Thanks
