Day 1: Bad News

The moment Artemis, Dick and Wally entered the convention center Megan crushed Artemis in to a hug. Artemis stared down at the girl in shock and noticed that she had been crying, trails of green make-up were smeared down her face.

"Megan, what's wrong?" Artemis demanded as she held the crying girl at arms' length in order to survey her.

"Oh, Artemis, it's horrible!" Megan cried, wiping at her eyes and only further ruining her green façade.

"I'll say, what happened to your make-up?" Dick said with a groan, "It took us hours to finish it."

Megan hung her head and sniffled, "I'm s-sorry Dick."

"Dick, have a little compassion!" Artemis yelled at the kid, "She's obviously upset about something."

"I'll say. What's wrong, Green Cheeks?" Wally said perversely, coming to stand beside Megan.

Artemis raised an eyebrow at him and the boy looked up at her indignantly, "What? Seeing as I'm a single man now I might as well make my move on Megan here. She's much more temperate than you anyway."

Artemis rolled her eyes, "Oh, grow up. Megan, what's wrong?"

Megan sniffled once more before looking up at Artemis, "I-I'm being deported."

"What?" all three teammates said at once, their eyes simultaneously swiveling to the green girl.

"A-And Conner's father won't talk to him!" Megan exclaimed, falling in to another bout of crying.

"Wait, back up. What was it you said about being deported?" Artemis demanded.

"Well," Megan said after a moment's hesitation, "I can't afford a green card, so I'm being sent back to Canada in two weeks."

"What about all the money we made from cosplaying and the movie contract?" Wally asked.

"I sent it to my family in Canada. They aren't very well off and they needed it. I do have twelve sisters after all. It's already been spent."

"What about your Uncle John? Can't he lend you money?" Dick asked.

Megan shook her head, "My Uncle John is a great man but he isn't very well off either. He spends most of his time doing volunteer work and he has already been kind enough to take me in for so long. I could never ask him for such a thing."

For a moment all of them just stared at Megan helplessly. None of them knew what to tell her, that was until Dick glanced at his cell phone and proclaimed, "Oh, shit. We're late."

"Dick! This is a little bit more important," Artemis said, gesturing to Megan who was still crying.

"Nah, I'll take care of it," Dick said, placing a comforting hand on Megan's shoulder. The girl looked up at him warily. "Come on Megan, just enjoy yourself this weekend. As long as you go to all of the panels I'll make sure you're not deported."

"Really?" Megan said with a watery smile.

"Oh come on," Artemis said incredulously, "How do you plan on doing that?"

Dick looked back up at Artemis with a mischievous smile, "You still have so little faith in my connections. Let's get going already. The others will be waiting for us."

Megan nodded in agreement, "Yes, Conner- I mean Superboy, was already quite anxious when I left to find you three."

"Why?" Artemis asked.

"Well…" Megan said trailing off nervously.

"Oh, you'll see, Arty. If he's there, Conner's likely ready to rip someone's head off," Wally said, grabbing Megan's arm and charging past Artemis and Dick, "Let's get going Megalicious. We have a convention to attend."

Artemis rolled her eyes as she followed after Wally and Megan. Wally's little impress-Megan-at-all-costs game was already getting old. She smirked surreptitiously. She couldn't wait to see the look on Conner's face when he saw Wally holding Megan's arm.

"Ten bucks that Wally's head is the one Conner's going to rip off?" Dick offered to Artemis.

"I'm so not taking that bet. I already know it's going to happen," Artemis said. Then she looked over at Dick amusedly, "Want to piss Wally off?"

Dick smiled, "You know it."

So Artemis linked arms with Dick and followed after Wally with the biggest smile plastered on her face.


By the time they reached the others, who were huddled outside the door of Studio C chatting, Wally had glanced over at Dick and Artemis twice and there was a sour look on his face. Artemis would have bet Dick twenty bucks that the red-headed idiot thought he was being nonchalant about his reaction to Dick and Artemis' linked arms. He wasn't though and the faux-happy smile that he used when looking back at the two was satisfying, to Artemis at least.

"What are you doing?" Wally said almost the moment Artemis and Dick had caught up to him.

"We're satisfying Dick/Artemis fans everywhere," Artemis said, gesturing to their linked arms, "Why does this bother you?"

"No," Wally said, crossing his arms as Megan wandered away from them to find Superboy.

Meanwhile Dick seemed to be deep in thought, "I think I like RobArt better. It has more…aster."

"Whatever," Artemis said, rolling her eyes as Zatanna approached them.

Zatanna glanced from Artemis and Dick's linked arms to the look on Wally's face as he stormed away to talk to Roy and immediately put two and two together.

"Trying to piss of the Wall-Man?" Zatanna said with a smirk.

"Always," Artemis said, finally releasing Dick in order to survey the crowd of 'others' Dick had gathered outside Studio C. Her eyes fell on a certain tall, buff boy that was standing dejectedly against a wall, "Okay, can someone please explain to me why Conner is so upset? I mean more than usual."

Artemis was almost disappointed that Conner seemed too preoccupied to even notice that Wally had been holding Megan's arm a few minutes ago.

"Oh, that," Zatanna said nervously, "Well…"

"His dad's here," Dick supplied.

"And?" Artemis said, looking at the knowing glances that Zatanna and Dick were giving each other, "Oh, daddy issues?"

Dick nodded, "More than you'd guess."

"Come on it can't be as bad as my dad- Wait, is it?"

Dick nodded vaguely, "In its own way it is just as bad. You'll have to ask him yourself though. It's not really our place to tell."

"Since when do you not tell other people's secrets?" Artemis demanded of the boy.

Before he could answer Roy and Wally approached them. Wally had been talking to the red-haired archer for the past few minutes and Megan was still trying to console Conner, which didn't seem to be working. Though, Artemis had to admit that if anyone looked as if they needed to be consoled it was Roy.

"Roy?" Artemis asked hesitantly, "What's wrong?"

Roy swore under his breath and looked up at Artemis sourly, "Your sister," he said simply, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Is she okay?" Artemis asked nervously.

"Oh yeah, she's fine," Roy said sarcastically. Then he shoved a piece of paper in to Artemis' hands and in a strict tone he commanded, "Read."

Artemis glanced down at the paper and unfolded it slowly.

"Roy, I'm sorry. I need a vacation. I'll be back soon. Watch Lian," Artemis read aloud, and then smirked. It was so like her sister to take off like that. Then the girl looked up confusedly, "But where's-"

"Awty," a small voice said from behind Roy and Roy turned a bit so that Artemis could see her ten month old niece strapped to his back, sitting among his bow and arrows like she was one of his props. Artemis' eyes widened as Lian grabbed one of the arrows and began to chew on the rod with her toothless gums.

Artemis reached forward and grabbed the arrow from the toddler, placing it back in Roy's quiver.

"Roy! Why did you bring the arrows? She could get hurt!" Artemis exclaimed.

"Awty! Awty!" Lian exclaimed and Roy groaned.

"How come she only knows Artemis' name?" Wally asked, stepping forward to peer up at the little girl. She was still very small and had a head full of short black hair. Her eyes were thin and black and so reminiscent of Jade that Artemis always became nostalgic when looking at her niece.

"That's because her mother always takes her out with Paula and those two are always talking to Artemis on that video-thing-"

"Skype," Artemis supplied.

"Right, Skype," Roy groaned, "The only two words she can say so far are-"

"Awty! Woy! Awty! Woy!" Lian said excitedly, bouncing in her baby carrier and pulling at Roy's short red hair.

"She is sooo cute!" Zatanna said, cooing at the toddler as she and Artemis played with the girl.

Dick and Wally stared at the girl's 'cooing' incredulously while Roy just sighed and lowered his head as if resigned to the fact that he was no longer a babe magnet because of his sexual appeal but because of the small girl strapped to his back.

"Alright, it's time to get to work guys. No more fooling around," Dick said professionally, coming to stand in front of the group that stood outside Studio C.

For the first time Artemis noticed that there were a lot of cosplay people there. Many more than she had ever met and they were all staring at Dick as if awaiting his orders.

She recognized many of them as cast members in the movie. They hadn't even started filming yet but the team had been forced to endure hours of physical training for their roles, since they were supposed to be superheroes after all. They had also gone through the laborious task of deciding on the rest on the rest of the cast. There were very few characters that they hadn't found yet, even Zatanna and Roy had offered to be a part of the project, to the delight of Dick who was planning this entire venture with the precision of a forty year old director. No one would have guessed that he was only fourteen.

Dick cleared his throat and began, "Today is the first day of the con, which makes it a very important milestone for our group. This is the first time that the entire cast of the 'Young Justice' movie has all gathered in one place so our first order of business will be to introduce everybody, starting with…Artemis."

Artemis looked up at Dick in annoyance.

"Alright, Artemis, tell everyone your first name, the character you will be playing and your superpowers."

Artemis said nothing for a moment. She just stood glaring at Dick for awhile before finally sighing and turning to the group before her. "My name is Artemis," she said, "My character is Artemis and I don't have any powers."

"But what's your specialty?" Dick prodded.

"I'm. An. Archer." Artemis bit as Dick smiled at her with troll-like glee.

"Excellent," he said, "next is…"

And so it continued. After about twenty minutes of introductions Artemis walked over to stand beside Superboy and Megan, in order to escape Wally's prying looks, and crossed her arms in frustration. She was just leaning against the wall when Dick called, "Superman."

Superboy tensed beside her and Megan whispered something in his ear that did nothing to ease the boy's attitude. Instead, he looked down at the floor indignantly, glaring daggers in to the carpet.

"Everything okay?" Artemis whispered to him just as a taller, buffer version of Superboy (if that was even possible) stepped forward to introduce himself.

"My name is Clark Kent. My character is Superman and I have a lot of powers, let's just say that I can do anything unless I haven't tried yet," the man laughed.

The cosplayers gathered around the floor laughed as well and eventually the man faded back in to the crowd. Artemis looked over at Superboy again and noticed that he still wasn't happy. After a moment he stormed away from the group, disappearing down the hall.

Megan called after him but when he didn't turn around she let him go.

"He needs to be alone," the girl said with a sigh.

"What was that all about?" Artemis asked curiously, hoping that the green girl would be more forthcoming with information.

Megan shook her head, "It isn't really my place to say but…I'll tell you, since you should probably know."

Megan leaned back against the wall next to Artemis and said, "Conner's mother was not his father's wife. She was…a mistress? I believe that's what they call them. Anyway, because of this Conner's father tends to ignore him. He says that Conner isn't his child. It really bothers Conner, as you can see."

"And Dick hired his father as Superman because…?" Artemis pondered.

"He was hoping that they could mend their relationship," Megan said, "I'm afraid it's only made things worse though."

Artemis shook her head infinitesimally, "I'll say, poor Conner."

Before Artemis could say anything else Dick approached the girls with Wally trailing beside him gloomily.

"Why hello, Megalicious," Wally said, perking up at the sight of Megan.

Artemis rolled her eyes and tightened her already crossed arms.

"Artemis," Dick said.

"Dick," Artemis responded.

"We need food. You and KF are going to go get us some."

"What?" Wally said, looking up from his conversation with Megan in shock, "Dude-"

"Don't argue with me KF," Dick said, "Just go."

"But-"

"Aren't you hungry?" Dick questioned.

"Yes," Wally's stomach rumbled in response.

"Go," Dick said, shoving money in to the boy's hand.

As Artemis followed reluctantly after Wally he turned to look at her and said, "Haven't we done this before?"

"I know," Artemis said, rolling her eyes, "Cliché much?"


I'll give you a hint about the next chapter, just cuz you're awesome. Let's just say that things between Wally and Artemis are about to get...cold.
