Hey! I'm really pleased that many of you liked the prologue of this story. And you were so quick to review! I'd like to thank my readers, as well as Irenerb, prettykitty374, Tortor, nequam-tenshi, Ish, bearrose, LadyMysteri, and Celadon Catamount for reviewing. I apologize in advance for my drabbling.

Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice, or else more of the episodes would've come out a LOT sooner.


"What is he doing here?" Artemis demanded when she had spotted the red-headed archer.

Red Arrow merely scowled at her behind his domino mask.

"Isn't he too good for the Justice League and this team?" she said mockingly.

He stalked up to her, looming menacingly over her, "And you should talk."

"Uh, yeah, and I can shoot arrows pretty well too. So you better watch your back." She growled.

Something about him just rubbed her the wrong way. It was like she had backtracked to the first day where she was fighting everyone. Deep down, some part of her acknowledged that it was the fact that in some people's eyes (or more specifically, Wally) she was merely his replacement until he gained the senses to join the Team.

"Oh, please," Red Arrow snorted, "We both know that I can outshoot you any day."

Artemis took a step forward, "Is that a challenge?"

A smirk was at his lips. And, no, it wasn't like Wally's smirk that looked so goofy that you wanted to punch him in the face. It was the kind that said I-know-more-about-you-than-you-think-so-you-better-watch-out.

"There is no challenge," he scoffed, "because you obviously don't shoot straight, if you know what I mean."

"I don't know and—"

"Enough." Artemis was interrupted by Batman, who was listening somewhat amusedly before deciding that the argument was getting out of hand. And Batman didn't like it when things weren't in his control.

"I can't take that lying down!" Artemis protested. She didn't know whether this was moment of courage or plain recklessness, by arguing with the Batman.

"You can and you will," Batman said, complete with the bat glare.

"Okay, this is awkward." Zatanna muttered. Kaldur and Robin had been sitting on the couch, trying not to seem too interested in the archers' argument, while Red Tornado stood mutely off to the side.

Sudden whirring was heard and Captain Marvel appeared arms full with three bags, "I'm back with tons of candy, and you can't have any of it."

"Sweet." Zatanna and Robin had said in unison, immediately by Captain Marvel's side as they attempted to sneak a few candies.

"Hey!" Captain Marvel protested, swatting them away and moving the bags out of reach. "Get your own!"

"Girls' night out."

"Bats wouldn't let me."

Both simultaneously answered. Turning to each other, they both blushed.

"Yeah, whatever. Zombie Marvel has candy. Can we please move on?" Artemis demanded crossly. The sooner Speedy explained why he was here, the sooner he'd leave.

Speedy ignored her, as well as Kaldur, Robin, and Zatanna.

"I wish to try some of the Milky Way. Perhaps eating some of it would remind so of the real Milky Way." Kaldur inputted.

"Eh, I prefer Snickers," Robin reached into one of Captain Marvel's bags. Only getting a…Twix.

"Oh, I'll take that!" Zatanna eagerly grabbed the chocolate out of his hand and popped it into her mouth after tearing the wrapper off.

Robin didn't even look the least offended.

The other stupid guy (Speedy, who else besides Wally is stupid? Not to mention that the ginger haired idiot wasn't there. He was too busy flirting with M'gann, oblivious to her attachment to Superboy) grabbed a handful of candy.

"Here" he tossed Robin Snickers and Kaldur a Milky Way. He merely held out his hand to Zatanna, who cheerily snatched a few more Twix.

"Hey!" Captain Marvel looked slightly crestfallen. Red Arrow's handful had been a lot of one of his bags.

"I do not think that it is highly necessary for you to rob Captain Marvel of his delicacies." Red Tornado interjected.

"Yeah," Captain Marvel agreed, "Halloween only comes around once a year!"

"But you're a grown man!" Artemis objected.

"Dude, I'm only ten!" and with a 'Shaa-zam!' he turned into a ten-year old boy. He gestured his arms to his body as a way of displaying that he was right.

"Oookay, I did not know that." To say that Artemis was surprised would've been an understatement.

Red Arrow laughed, "Of course you didn't."

"Don't think I forgot your challenge. Me. You. In the training room. Right now." Artemis snarled at him.

"I—" Batman began.

"You're on!" Red Arrow looked pleased.

Batman, on the contrary, was furious. No one disobeys the Batman.

Artemis confidently led the way to the training room with Red Arrow following, just as eager and assured. Robin merely shrugged and gestured for Zatanna to go first. Even Captain Marvel excitedly followed after transforming back.

Soon, the briefing room was empty with the exception of Red Tornado and Batman.

"I believe this is where we say something along the lines of—" Red Tornado started.

"Teenagers." Batman narrowed his eyes underneath his cowl.


"Hah!" Artemis declared triumphantly as she hit bull's-eye on the target for the thirtieth round. They had decided that they were going to fire five arrows per round until someone won more rounds than the other. All they managed to do is tie so far.

"Oh, please." Red Arrow scoffed. He quickly shot an arrow and it split right through Artemis's arrow.

"You little—" Artemis started angrily. He had no right to damage her arrows!

"Uh, uh, uh," Red Arrow waved his finger mockingly at Artemis. "Never start a fight with someone you can't win against."

Artemis stepped forward menacingly, "Threatening a girl, now are you? I suppose I should have expected it since you confronted me back at—"

"At where?" Robin interrupted. "I've never heard you mention Red Arrow at all."

Artemis quickly realized her mistake. She was still supposedly Green Arrow's niece, so what business did she have in Gotham?

Kaldur agreed, "I too find it most strange that you and Red Arrow have such animosity towards each other, despite only having met once."

"Ummm," Artemis struggled to explain. She wasn't the best liar, and even so, Red Arrow was there to call her out on her bluffs.

She knew he wasn't going to hesitate to sell her out either, by the way he arched one eyebrow and smirked.

"Artemis," Kaldur said flatly, "Is there something you wish to tell us?"

Zatanna stood quietly by Robin, unsure whether she should speak or not. She wasn't a part of the Team, but everyone was sure that she was going to be soon. Captain Marvel looked back and forth between

Maybe Black Canary was right. It wouldn't hurt to trust the Team with one of her secrets, right? She was so tempted to lighten her burden, but at the same time, she knew that they may never trust her ever again. Which was better: hiding her secret from the Team, carrying the burden of constantly lying or telling them now and having them never look at her the same way again?

Robin suddenly blurted out, "She's not —". Realizing what he was about to say, he slapped his hands over his mouth. Batman had just told him-as well as Red Tornado, Kaldur, and Red Arrow- that Artemis was entitled to her own secret identity.

"She's not Green Arrow's niece." And it didn't come from Robin (Certainly not Zatanna). It didn't even come from Speedy. No, it came from Kaldur.


Kid Flash, Superboy, and Miss Martian have yet to appear in my fanfiction, but don't worry; they're coming soon! Lately I've been kinda horrible with my writing and inspiration. So I'm using this slight cliffhanger in an attempt satisfy you readers!

Kaldur just revealed to Artemis that he now knows one of her secrets (well, so does everyone except for the rest of the Team) What happens next? Who knows? I'm honestly just writing this as I go along; so your reviews may sway the outcome of this story!

Please give me your comments, opinions, and suggestions!
