Sapp's POV:

Sapphire winced as Kid Flash leapt to his feet, his face etched with fury. The raw emotion on his face stunned Sapp. It was if he actually cared about them! And he had only known them for one day! Well, it had been a long day and it was only 3 o'clock. But anyway, Artemis shifted to the left slightly and began explaining the Hunter situation.

"When I came to town, I began dating a guy named Hunter Atraks."

She smiled softly, as if she was reminsing about better times, and Sapp was too. Hunter had been like her big brother, he had always be so kind, so smart, and very handsome. He treated her like a person, not a kid. Sapphire shook her head and continued to listen.

"He was super smart, and one of my best friends. But he was and became obsessed with two things while dating me. One, he was trying to gain super powers and two,"

Artemis swolled hard.

"He became obsessed with me."

Everyone gasped, like in a drama (not that she had ever watched a drama).

"He basically became my stalker. I was just getting back into the hero gig then, so I was careless, and he found away past all of our defenses and into the house. And then he found the basement."

Artemis relasesed a long breath and Sapp realized how uncomfortable this was making her. Surge grabbed her hand and gave it a squeze. Pulse breathed in before saying very quickly,

"Long story short he kidnapped Ella and my siblings and did genetic experimentsthat gave them thier powers and he put them in the hospital for a while. I rescued them and he found out about my powers. Now he wants all of us so he can finish his experiments. He attacks twice a week usually, and he might attack tonight Everyone good? Everyone caught up? Good."

They all looked furious but they nodded. A awkward scilence filled up the room. To use the time Sapphire climbed up onto the top of the couch behind Artemis's head, locked her legs Artemis's slim neck, and began to fishfall her hair, a braid of Sapp's own design.

"I think we should get ombre sea green streaks in your hair next."

Sapphire mused out loud. This seemed to snap Kid Flash out of his state of quiet anger. He turned to gap at Artemis.

"But..but but you said you would NEVER dye you hair."

He stammered. Artemis looked up from her hands, and gave a half smirk.

"Things change Kid Moron. None of the hair dye is permante. Besides, if it makes Sapphire relax a little, I'll do it."

Robin gracefully flipped over from his seat besides the magician to sit next to Sapphire, and study what she was doing. Scilence filled the room again. Sapphire found the unwavering curelan blue eyes of the resident teenage wonder a little disconcerting. He seemed to be criticizing her in his mind. And Sapphire hated to be criticized silently. Whatever the insult was, she could take. Artemis was texting someone.

"Penny for your thoughts boy wonder?"

Sapphire's sweet voice was the only noise filling the room. He didn't say anything at first, just tilted his head and squinted.

"Well?"

"Have you ever dyed her hair completely purple?"

Sapp turned her head a gave the hero a half smile.

"It was the first dye job I ever did. I had to tie her down, which wasn't easy."

"Hey I remember that!"

Damarius interjected, his voice filled with excitment and relief. Excitement because he alway loved a good story, and relief because he could stop thinking about the experiments. He remembered the most about them, even more then Ella, who was unconsinuse for most of the time. Normally Sapphire would have started yelling at him, but she let him explain how they (the boys) all pinned down a arm while Sapp placed the knockout breather over her mouth. He described himself very bravely, and it was all Sapphire could do to stop herself from laughing so hard the house shook. She did give a not very lady like snort though.

"The only time you where brave had the guts to fight Arty was when Wiccan took over your mind. And even then you where terrified."

"Hey it wasn't as bad as the hot lips incident."

"I wouldn't call that a incident exactly."

Artemis interjected.

"I would. Half the boys in town where in love with you!"

"Whoa whoa whoa. I still don't get it."

The girl with the skin the color of a mocha, Raqhel, interjected. Artemis placed a hand over Sapphires mouth so she wouldn't interrupt.

"What don't you get?"

"Everything."

Artemis shrugged.

"It's all very complicated. We have time to tell story's later. I have patrol."

Artemis stood up. Surge did too.

"Arty, you can't go on patrol. We have house guests! Who are surprisingly quiet."

Sapphire turned to face the team. Their expressions where changing from confusion to anger to sadness. The only time Sapp had ever seen something like it was when Spirit was posed, and communicated with Wiccan in his mind.

"Are you guys having a telepathic conversation, because I can't decide if that's cool, or rude."

They exchanged looks.

"Fine. We decided that Arty can't go on patrol because of Hunter. We don't want you to get hurt."

The Martian gave her the puppy eyes. Artemis sighed.

"Fine. I won't go. But you can't stop me from practicing."

Artemis opened a drawer and pulled out a pair of googles. She started towards the door. But Sapphire and Damarius got up and stood in front of her.

"I'm just going to the cliffs, be back in a hour, Jamie and Parker left so your on your own. And I know how incredible rude this is, but I really need to take break. I'll be careful, watch them, and again, I just need a break and I need to talk to Lekeria. Today has just been crazy. I need a break."

She shook her head before pulling on the googles onto her head and walking out of the room.

Artemis's POV:

Artemis soared through the clouds, her long blond hair flying out behind her like a cape.

Okay buddy, let's see what you got.'

Lekeria did a sharp 90 degree turn and started to dive. The wind whipped Artemis's face, tingeing it red. They leveled out over the water. The water parted, and sprayed into her face and hair.

'Bank right.'

The bird turned and dipped its wing into the water.

'Up side down.'

'Whoa chica, one thing at a time'

But he complied. They did several loops before soaring up high into the clouds. They stopped and began diving to the ground.

'Artemis. Pull up, PULL UP!'

Lekeria screamed in her mind. Artemis pulled up at the last minute. Lekeria, sensing something was up, pulled up onto a cliff and dumped her onto the ground. Artemis sat up and winced.

'What is wrong with you.'

Lekeria mental screamed at her.

'Sorry L, I'm just upset about,'

'The team? I know you missed them.'

'I did, but know I don't know. Should I trust them? They might hurt me, or worse, the kids.'

'Hey,'

Lekeria lifted her arm with his beak.

'Everything will work out.'

Artemis sighed.

'I hope so.'

... C. C. C... C...

A few hours later Artemis sat on on the roof with Lekeria's head in her lap, while she gentle stroked his feathers.

"Hey."

A voice said behind her.

"Hey Grayson."

She didn't turn around. He sat down next to her. They watched the sunset in scilence for a few minutes. Finally she spoke.

"I take it you went all ninja on everyone?"

He nodded.

" Everyone was preparing for Hunters usual attack , so I came up here to see you."

She didn't trust herself to say anything.

"You know we all missed you. Roy, wasn't a good fit for the team."

"Oh I know what happened to Roy. He married my sister."

Robin didn't look surprised.

"I know. But we did miss you. Even Wally did."

She smiled softly at that.

"I doubt it."

"No, he really did!"

He bumped shoulders with her.

"Hey, I'm sorry. For everything."

"Really?"

She turned, her eyes sparkling.

"Yeah."

He nodded.

"Okay, we should go back and help them prepare for the attack."

He stood up and offered her his hand. She took it.
