Two hours later Dick sat in the waiting room outside Artemis's room with Dinah and Ollie, Bruce left to go tell the league what had happened and to find out if there were any sightings of Laurence Crock in the area last night. Dick knew something wasn't right, she should've been awake and talking by now. Ollie and Dinah were sitting next to each other on a different couch and the only words they said, they whispered to each other and Dick didn't try to listen. Eventually a doctor came out of her room ad asked to speak to the others privately, when Dick saw Dinah gasp and Ollie froze he knew something was wrong but remained in his seat until they came back over. "Dick you need to call Bruce, ask him to come back."

Dinah said. Dick knew not to ask any questions at the moment and to just do as he was told, so he called Bruce and within minutes Bruce was back at the hospital. "What happened?" Bruce asked when he got back. Dinah stepped up and explained it for Ollie, "Artemis is awake but when she woke up the doctor asked her some questions and they said that she couldn't remember the last couple of years, they said she has retrograde amnesia, she doesn't remember the team, going to Gotham academy she doesn't even remember her mother's death or Wally's. They said that the memories can come back with pictures and stories but..." Dinah trailed off and Ollie spoke up.

"Artemis has been through so much with the superhero life and when Wally died Artemis didn't even eat and she barely talked, maybe it would be better if we let her live her life differently, only tell her about where she lives and her job. Nothing about the team or the league, nothing about Wally but we can tell her about her mother. But someone will need to keep track of her if it turns out the light did this they will probably try to convince her to join them." Ollie said ad Dick was pissed. "That's not out choice, she has a life we can't just create a new one for her, we need to tell her everything." Dick said.

"Dick she's been through enough pain maybe it will be better this way, the doctor says that is probably best because the stress and the danger has already impacted her so much and her life span has been reduced by around two years, she doesn't need anymore of this." Bruce said, and Dick was shocked, he expected Bruce to agree with him. "I'll do it. I'll make sure she does't get into any trouble and I will take care of her, it's the least I can do, I owe her this much. But is there anyway that she can get her memory back?" Dick asked. Dinah nodded and said

"yes, the doctor said that we can't wait longer then a month if we want to get her memory back, any longer and it will be almost impossible." Dick knew he had no say in it, and it would probably be better for her but she wouldn't remember him and that thought killed him. Ollie smiled and said "thank you Dick." Ollie shook his hand and Dick faked a smile, he didn't like the idea at all. They left to tell the doctors while Dick went to organize to move to a new apartment that was closer to Artemis. He would move in tomorrow and keep it out of the newspapers. It was going to take some time but he would keep on trying until it worked, he wanted to become friend with her again and that way he could look after her better.

He still couldn't believe that Ollie had decided to do this and that Dinah and Bruce both thought it was a good idea. the doctors said she wouldn't be out of the hospital for another two weeks so Dick had time to fix up her apartment and move into his. He hated this idea but Dick knew she was going through so much and even though she pretended to be fine, she felt so weak and she's felt like that since she joined the team, maybe this was for the best.


I know it's not a very good story but still let me know if I should continue.
