A/N: I WANT YOU GUYS TO KNOW: I WROTE THIS BEFORE "Misplaced" EVEN AIRED! I LEFT THE ORIGINAL FOOTNOTES. As you can see, I managed to hit the questions right over the head that were asked and answered in "Image"

In other news, I've successfully submitted a question to the "Ask Greg" forum (can you believe that he came to Denver, my hometown, last week, and I MISSED it? So unfair!). If you want to view it, here's the link: s8. org /gargoyles/ askgreg/ search .php?qid=15261

"Look, me dying might have started things going south, but I was coma girl, and missed out on all the fun of forgetting it wasn't real. So: no trauma. No need for the shrink-wrap."

"You're too tough to need help."

"Whatever, maybe."

"Or maybe too tough to admit you need help. Artemis, it's not a sign of weakness to open up to your friends."

"I know that."

"But you still keep secrets from them."

"You won't tell them. You can't."

"I won't. But you should. You could start by admitting you're not really Green Arrow's niece."

"Pff, right. Could you imagine what Wally would do with that?"

"Interesting. So the person you're most worried about… is Wally."

"No. I'm worried about what he'd do."

"Artemis-"

"No."

"Maybe, you should start small, if you decide to admit your identity to the team. Start with Megan or Robin."

Artemis' gray eyes caught the bright blue eyes of the superhero in front of her, realizing she was right.

M'gann smiled at Artemis gently when the blonde had pulled her aside and walked with her on the beach. "What's up, Artemis?"

"I haven't been quite honest with the team."

Megan's smile faded and was replaced with a guilty look. "Oh?"

"You already know though, don't you?"

"Know what?" Megan asked innocently, and a smile returned.

"That I'm not Green Arrow's neice."

Megan stopped in her tracks. "No, actually. I promised that I wouldn't search through anyone but the bad guy's minds."

"So you never had any clue that I wasn't related to him?" Artemis sounded genuinely surprised.

"Never." Megan hesitated. "Well, actually I had this sort of off feeling that you weren't telling the truth when you both said 'I'm his niece' at the same time, and I got suspicious, but I cast it aside after the mission."

"Do you think the others…?" Artemis cut herself off.

"Superboy might have when he found out about the rumor of a mole, but I have an idea that it faded after Red Tornado returned. Robin no doubt already knows who you are related to. Kaldur, if he had any suspicions- and I wouldn't count out the fact that he does- would not let it come between the team."

"And Wally?"

"Wally? Don't think it ever crossed his mind that anyone in the Justice League might lie to a… sidekick. Not tell them the whole story, sure. But lie? Never crossed his mind, which puts you in the clear as long as the League stands by who you say you're related to." Megan sat down in the sand, pulling off her boots and digging them into the sand. "But if Green Arrow isn't your uncle, who are you related to?"

Artemis combed the sand with her fingers. "You promise you won't freak out, right?"

"I promise." Megan motioned an X over her heart. Artemis took a deep breath.

"I'm Sportsmaster's daughter and Cheshire's sister."

M'gann's amber eyes widened and her jaw slackened in surprise. "Really?

Artemis nodded, slightly weary of the Martian beside her.

"Wow."

"Yeah."

M'gann wrapped her arms around her legs and hugged them to her chest. "I wasn't expecting that." M'gann fell silent again, but abruptly hit her head with a simple "Hello, Megan!" She turned to the archer.

"Cheshire didn't get away, you let her walk."

Artemis' cheeks flushed. "As much as I hate to admit, I couldn't risk her spilling my identity to the team when they would question her, I wouldn't have a chance to be a hero."

"I get it." M'gann tugged at her jacket, but it melted away rather than her taking it off. "In truth, I haven't been completely up front with the team, either."

Artemis looked at the bubbly redhead beside her. "No?"

"No."

"Let me guess, you've been secretly dating Superboy, but didn't tell the rest of us."

Megan blushed, "Well, yes, but we were just waiting for the right time to mention it."

"I take it that's not what you were talking about."

"No." M'gann looked over her shoulder, checking to make sure no one was around and then whispered her secret into Artemis' ear, and Artemis' eyes widened*.

"You're kidding, right?"

M'gann shook her head slowly, "No, unfortunately. Leaving Mars was the last chance I had at escaping the prejudice on my planet."

Artemis shook her head. "Never would have guessed."

"Hey, Rob."

The ebony haired teen turned towards the sound of Artemis' voice. "Huh?"

"Can I speak to you for a minute?" The blonde tilted her head towards the training room.

"Can we speak and spar at the same time?"

"I guess."

Artemis trudged after Robin and they dropped their weapons, and Robin took off his utility belt before they fell into their battle stances.

"What's up?" Robin asked, ducking underneath one of her first punches and weaving to his side. He then aimed a kick at her side, and she moved backwards out of the way.

"How much do you know about my identity?"

"Not a whole lot. I know your real name, where you go to school, where you live."

"I think you know more than that."

"What brought this on?" Artemis dodged another of Robin's kicks with a backhand spring and launched forward at him.

"Black Canary."

"I didn't like her interrogating us."

"Interrogating is a better word than interview." Artemis laughed.

"True. So what did she tell you to do?"

Artemis stopped attacking Robin. "She said I should tell the team my identity, even if I just start off with telling you guys-"

"That you're not Green Arrow's neice."

Artemis glared at him. "I knew you knew more than you let on."

Robin shrugged before dodging from one of her hooks. "When you both said that you were his niece at the exact same time, it was suspicious. Like you rehearsed it. I had to look into it."

" M'gann mentioned the same thing." Artemis commented. Then grinned, "Still, must help to have Daddy Bats' computer at your disposal."

"Hm. Yeah, sure."

"So, you must know more than who I'm not related to."

Robin smirked. "I didn't even need the Batcave's systems to know who you might be related to." He swung a roundhouse kick into Artemis' chest, catching her breath. "The files just confirmed it."

Artemis scowled. "Great. Bet you've already told the Wall-man, huh?"

Rob laughed. "It took me years to entrust him with pieces of my own identity. You think I'd let it slip who your parents and sister are? Wally knows only as much as Superboy, and is much less suspicious than Kaldur, I guarantee it." At this point, Robin managed to duck and kick Artemis' legs out from underneath her, causing for the "FAILED: ARTEMIS" to pop up on the floor. Rob helped her up, and smiled.

"Well, good chat. We should do this again some time."

A/N:

*I've been playing around with the idea of M'gann actually being a White Martian disguised as a green, but my conscious rebuts the idea:

1. If M'gann had shown up on J'onn's bioship, claiming to be his niece, wouldn't he have read her mind to verify that?

2. If she's so powerful, but untrained, doesn't that mean she wouldn't be able to disguise her true identity from other mind-readers?

3. When she faced Psimon, she appeared green-skinned as always, and it was within her mind
