Chapter 2: Blood (Artemis)
When light began to show it wasn't much. The team was in a small dark room with two beds. A small blonde girl was sitting on one of the beds.
"Artemis is that you?" Megan asked.
Artemis stayed silent.
In walked a girl, much older that her, with dark black hair.
"Jade are you okay" the young girl asked.
"I'm done here Artemis." Jade said.
"What? You are leaving?" the young Artemis said.
"I'm disappearing, just like the Cheshire cat." Jade said.
"Cheshire is your sister?" Kaldur asked.
"But what about mom, what about when she comes back?" the young Artemis said.
"Then stay here with him. I'm done." Jade said and she climbed out the window.
"Jade," the young Artemis said.
"So, Cheshire is your sister." Dick said.
"Yeah," Artemis said.
"Where is your mom? You said something about when she comes back." Wally said.
"My, mom is Huntress, an ex-assassin. She was in jail at this time, but she is retired now." Artemis said.
"And what of your father?" Kaldur asked.
"He is—" Artemis started to say but before she could finish the door smacked open, revealing a rather angry man.
"Girls!" the man said.
"Sportsmaster?" Wally asked.
"Yep," Artemis said, growing pale at what she knew was about to happen.
"Girl where is your sister?" Sportsmaster asked. His words were slightly slurred like he had been drinking.
"She left." younger Artemis said.
"Well then, she left you with me." Sportsmaster said. He took off his belt and started to twist it.
"No daddy. Please don't." younger Artemis cried.
As the belt came cracking down the scene went black.
Artemis took several deep breaths trying to calm down.
"Your sister left you with an abusive father?" Kaldur asked.
"Yes. But don't you guys hate me?" Artemis said.
"Why would we hate you?" Megan asked.
"My family is or were bad guys so—." Artemis said.
"That does not mean you are a bad person." Dick said. "Our families can shape us, but they don't define us."
Conner stayed silent, he had bad blood in him too. He had jus recently figured out the reason he didn't have all of Superman's powers was because he wasn't full Kryptonian. Half of his DNA came from a human, and Lex Luthor at that.
"This doesn't change anything." Kaldur said.
