Disclaimer-Sadly, I don't any of the rights to the DC universe, just to my thoughts.

Ok, so have I mentioned how much I love reviews? No? Well it's a lot! XD And I also want more ideas for the poll. I'll add the suggestions as they come. So, yeah. Review! And vote! And stuff... Anyway, this looks like it'll be twenty-three instead of twenty-two. Good? Yes, I think. Whoop! XD

Robin jerked up at the hoarse whisper of his civilian identity. Artemis was looking at him, eyes slightly fogging, but still smiling slightly, though she winced as she sat up. Even through his sunglasses, he looked surprised and concerned. "Wha…?

"I said shut up, Dick." Said the archer quietly. Most of her color had returned but she still had injuries under the bandages. The scars on her face were fading. The bruises were discolored in the early stages of healing. Still, she looked much better than earlier in the week, though not good, either.

"How did you? When?" The Boy Wonder stuttered before finally sighing. "How long have you known?" He settled on asking instead.

"You confirmed my suspicions when you were laughing when I told everyone about you taking that picture." She said, still smiling. This made the crusader smile.

"I was hoping you'd find out." He said, talking off his sunglasses to reveal his dark blue eyes still shining with concern even though he was smirking. "How do you feel?"

"Considering I'm not dead, I must be traught." Replied the archer, smirking. This earned another grin from Dick. "But I could use some water."

"Ah, here." He said, handing her the glass that had been sitting on the bedside table, ready for when she woke up.

"Thanks." She said, taking the glass and draining it. When she spoke again, her voice was almost back to normal. "So, how bad am I?" She asked, sighing. "You know, besides the obvious broken arm, bruises, and cuts."

Dick bit his lip and paused before answering. "Pretty bad, actually. Besides the obvious, as you said, there was a lot of blood loss, muscle damage, and internal bruising. Then, later, they saw burns and a cracked rib." He paused again, looking away. "You would've died within an hour if you hadn't been brought back so they put you in a medical coma."

Artemis shrugged, winced, and bit her lip. "Um, how long was I out?"

The Boy Wonder bit his lip. "It's been almost a week." Artemis's eyes widened and cleared. At that, he continued more quietly and looked down. "It's Christmas Eve."

"Crap." Artemis said before starting to laugh. Dick looked at her quizzically.

"What's so funny?" He asked, very confused.

"Did you ever wonder what I was going to do after school?" asked Artemis, smirking. The Boy Wonder shook his head. "Going to get Christmas presents." Dick joined in her laughter before she sighed sadly. "Kind of ironic."

"Hey, if ironic is when things are opposite of what's expected, then is ronic when things are expected?" Artemis blinked at him before smiling and shaking her head.

"I guess." She said with a shrug before wincing. Dick's eyes immediately looked worried again but she shook her head and smiled. "I'm fine, just some internal bruising." He didn't smile. "Seriously? I know you've had worse." This was true. After all, she grew up in Gotham and knew of many of the Dynamic Duo's stunts, even ones the public didn't, mostly thanks to her father.

"I know. It just sucks seeing anyone like this." He said, glancing away for a moment before he looked back at her with an evil smirk. "I think I'll go get Wally." He said, standing up.

Artemis's eyes widened but her blush was mostly hidden by the bruises on her cheeks. "No! I mean, not yet, please?" She said, grabbing onto his jacket with her left hand, wincing slightly again, and looking rather pathetic in Dick's opinion. Then again, it was hard not to look pathetic the way she was.

"Fine, but I won't wait much longer." He said, sitting down as she let go of his shirt. "He'll kill me when he finds out I didn't tell him right away."

Artemis smirked. "If anyone's going to die, it'll be me." Dick's eyes widened slightly, causing Artemis to shake her head and laugh. "No, I mean Roy will kill me." The Boy Wonder looked confused. "He's not too happy with my almost death. It's because he cares about you guys. A lot." Artemis looked away, biting her lip, and trying to look like she thinking. Why did Roy hate her so much?

"Oh, she's awake." They jerked to look at the door to see Roy, Dick managing to put his sunglasses back on before doing so, though. Dick looked at his watch and his eyebrows went up slightly in surprise.

"I hadn't realized that much time had passed." The Boy Wonder said quietly before looking back at Roy and standing up then glancing at Artemis. "You don't want me to tell the others, do you?" It was almost more of a statement than a question.

The blonde archer shook her head. "Give me five minutes, kay?" Roy raised an eyebrow at the conversation of the two. "Just one question, alright?" Asked the younger of the two archers. Dick nodded and left, closing the door behind him. Once he was gone, Roy turned to her.

"What's this about?" Roy asked, crossing his arms. For once, the guy was dressed in civilian clothes. Not surprisingly, this included a red jacket, black shirt, dark jeans, and red Converse.

"Like I said, I've got one question." Artemis said evenly.

"Well, are you going to ask it?" Roy asked, almost glaring at her.

"Why do you hate me?"

I love ending stories with questions! XD
