Sidekick University- Chapter 1

AN: Hey guys first chapter hope this goes well. I am a horrible writer so my descriptive skills might not be on par with you other amazing writers. So rate, comment, and follow. Hope you guys like it. Here goes nothing.

Artemis POV

I walk into the elevator with Ollie, who is accompanying me to help me pack. I am starting my first year at Gotham University with the team and I can't wait. We all are starting our freshman year here despite going to different high schools. I'm trying not to drop my box of photo frames and electronics. I hear a high-pitched ding and the doors open to our corridor. We were so lucky to be rooming in the same building, The Wayne Dormitory. So I walk in to my room and see Zatanna moving boxes.

"Zee" I screamed running towards her with my arms open.

"Arty, yes we are finally rooming together, this year will be crazy" Zatanna said hugging me

"Yes, we are going to wreck shit up" I said laughing.

"Art, I'm going to get the rest of the boxes while you start unpacking." Ollie said leaving

"OK" I replied

I walk outside and see that we are next to M'gann and Barbara, and in front of Wally and OH NO shit not him he followed me here too. How did he get a room with Wally shouldn't Nightwing be with him. The infamous Richard Grayson. I am dreading meeting him with his slick-back hair and impish grin. So I go back inside and starting unpacking my stuff and getting adjusted. Ollie went back and forth dropping off boxes with my crap. Zatanna and I finally got unpacked and sat down. The room was actually spacious with a bunk bed, two dressers, two desks, a couch and a TV.

Then I hear voices in the hallway and see Wally, his uncle Barry, and his parents. I say an awkward hi and go back to my room.

"That was awkward" I say

"What's up" replied Zee

"Just saw Wally and his parents, in the hallway he is moving in right now." I say sighing

"Oh, yeah still some weird feelings?" Zee said

"Yeah, we broke it off mutually, we thought it was better to be friends because our relationship got forced in the end." I said plopping down on the couch

"So you're single and so is he" she asked

"Yeah why"

"Nothing" she says smiling

"How did it go with you and Nightwing" I asked

"Same thing we broke off mutually, he didn't shared his identity it seemed as if he had someone else in his mind the whole time. We both love each other but more as siblings or friends like you and Wally."

"Oh, that's a shame you guys looked perfect for each other"

"That's what we thought too" Zatanna said sighing.

Then voice come from the hallway and I see a student with a butler it looked like. Damn, that boy looked good. He had a tall muscular build, messy black hair, and beautiful blue eyes. Those eyes looked familiar, and his body too, but it can't be they are too different people. No no Dick Grayson cannot be Nightwing, the annoying pipsqueak that stalked me in 8th grade can't be the team's leader.

"'Mis it's been a while" He said hugging me

It felt good to be in his arms, it felt like I needed to be there I felt so at home. Puberty did wonders for him.

"It's me Dick from Gotham Academy, man was I surprised when I found out that we were going to be in college together."

"Yeah it's been a long time, what 4, 5 years. I missed being stalked by an elf with slicked back hair." I said laughing

"You wound me 'Mis" he said laughing "Anyway I don't like look like that anymore do I"

"Yeah I've noticed" I shake my head "I mean like I wasn't checking you out or anything I just saw that you got taller"

"Ok ok hope to see you around more often" He said smiling

He then left to go to his room with his butler.

"Hello ma'am pleased to meet you the name is Alfred" The butler said bowing down

"Artemis Crock" I say shaking his hands

"I hope to see you in the future, Miss Crock" he said going into Dick's room

"Same"

Dick POV

"Hey Wally" I say as I walk into my new room

"Ay, what's up man" He said while we man-hugged

"Nothing much, guess who I saw in the hallway, Artemis"

"Yeah that was awkward, she still doesn't know your identity?" He asked

"Yep, how was it between you too, still weird?" I ask

"Yeah, we broke it off mutually, we thought it was better to be friends because our relationship got forced in the end." Wally said

"Cool, same with me and Zee"

I unpack and get situated with the room. Wally and I rearranged the room so that the bunk beds, dressers and desk were close together so that we have a big sitting area. We had a couch, swinging chair, and two bean bags big enough for three people. We could have the whole team here for movie nights with the flat screen and sound system I installed. Wally and I finished setting everything up and start playing Xbox. I was killing Wally in Injustice, I had Nightwing, Batman, and Deathstroke on my team while he had The Flash, Killer Frost and Zatanna. I beat him horribly no one on my team died.

"HAHA, guess who won" I mock

"REMATCH NOW" he huffed

"ok ok" I laughed

We played again and I beat him again but this time it was closer than the last time. We finishing playing and decided to go get some dinner.

"Hey man want to go get some Big Belly Burger" I ask

"YESS, that would be great, ask around to see if anyone else wants to come and see me stuff food down my throat." He said chuckling

"K will do"

I walked out the door and went into our corridor. The floor was pretty cool actually, there are 4 rooms, two bathrooms, and a big kitchen and fireplace with another sitting area.

So then I went into Kaldur and Connor's room and asked if they want to get some dinner. They agreed and then I went to Artemis and Zatanna's room and M'gann and Babs's room. Neither were there so I went back to my room

"Kaldur and Connor are coming the girls aren't here." I tell Wally

"K let's go, I need to buy a Metro pass for the term" Wally said standing up

"Same I think Kaldur and Connor too"

We all went to the store and bought Metro passes and took the subway there. To our surprise the girls were there too.

"Hey what's up ladies" I say

"Hey Dick, guys this is my friend Dick from Gotham we went to middle school together" Artemis said smiling.

"Hey Dick" They all said in unison

"So you guys came for dinner too?" I asked

"Yeah Artemis decided we should go out together and said that this place was great" Zatanna said

"Hey great minds think alike" I replying winking at Artemis

"Yeah I guess so" she said laughing

We all had dinner together, Wally, Zatanna, Connor, and M'gann in one booth and me, Artemis, Kaldur and Babs in one booth. We all talked and had a great night. I think Wally was trying to get with Zatanna. We all went back to campus on the bus, I sat down to Artemis and smiled at her.

"First time using public transportation richboy" She said

"Surprisingly even though I have money I prefer not to flaunt it."

"Ok that's cool that explains the butler following you here." She said

"Oh, Alfred he is like a second father to me he came to make sure I am ok and left to go back with Bruce."

"Oh" she said nodding

We all got home and were exhausted so we all went to our rooms and went to sleep after a tiring day. We have training tomorrow anyway. I think I was going to reveal my identity to Artemis soon, I really want her to know so that hanging out with the team didn't feel so awkward. I'll tell the whole team after that but I want Artemis to be the first one to know.

I couldn't wait for this year to begin. It was so funny seeing Artemis so clumsy earlier, it's been a while since I've seen her. Wally and her quit during high school, but began training over the summer so that they can join the team again this year. I look at the photo that I took of her in 8th grade. The one where I popped out and said "We will laugh about this someday". I just hope that day will be soon.
