Roy kept his eyes glued on the road. He had one hand on the steering wheel and the other lay motionless at his side. Artemis was sitting on the passenger's seat toying with the radio. She gave up on trying to find a good station and turned it off.

"Nothing good?" Roy asked

"Nope" she said as she sighed and ran her hand through her hair. She didn't know exactly where he was taking her but she didn't bother with dressing up. Megan had flipped insisting that she should at least let hair down so she did in order to please the Martian.

Her hair bothered Roy. She had the window open and the breeze made it fly backwards. The scent of her shampoo found him and he had to remind himself he was driving.

"We're here." he announced as he parked the car in front of a Starbucks. Artemis felt relieved he didn't take her somewhere where she needed to dress up. Once inside the coffee shop Artemis went over to a table and sat down while Roy ordered. She noticed the way the cashier was eyeing him. Roy was reading the menu behind the cashier while she kept her eyes on his face. She had long brown hair and green eyes. Artemis felt a pang of jealousy rise in her but she quickly shut it down.

Roy noticed the half-lid eyes the brunette was giving him and he shot her a charming smile back. Artemis was stunned. He had brought her here on a date and he was flirting with the cashier! 'Yea definitely a player' she thought with a scoff 'perfect for my sis.' her thoughts were suddenly drifting to him and her sister together. She shuddered at the thought. He was now paying the cashier and she couldn't help but notice the looks she gave him and the way she giggled when he left to sit next to Artemis. He sat in front of her and slide her drink across the table. She took it and began nibbling the straw of her coffee flavored smoothie. Roy began sipping his own drink looking straight to Artemis's eyes with his blue ones. 'So distracting' she scoffed 'How many times has he used this stare and confuse strategy?' she thought warily. Her defenses were up after discovering his motivations. After a few minutes of silence she lost concentration and couldn't resist having his eyes staring so deeply into hers. She dropped her gaze to his drink but after a few moments her ninja skills popped. She raised her hand to turn Roy's cup after noticing some curious marks. There written in dark red marker was a phone number and in a curvy letter a name,'Her name' she thought now mad.

"Who's Jeannette?" Artemis asked irritated and her voice dropped to a dangerous tone. "The cashier" he retorted defensively and took the drink away from her but his voice was steady proving what a good liar he was. "Really?" Artemis raised an eyebrow skeptically.

"Yeah. Why? You're jealous or something?" He played with her by grinning as he spoke. 'Yep there he is. A cocky, arrogant, jerk who couldn't help himself and needs to taunt me' Artemis began cursing in her mind thinking how stupid she was by thinking he could possibly send the note. Like he could be that shy. The ultimate player wouldn't do that; he would bring her to a coffee shop flirt with a random cashier just to get what he wants. She was bitter at him now.

Just what exactly he was expecting from her she did not dare to find out. 'Let Jeannette find out' she thought bitterly. She wasn't mad at Jeannette; no instead she felt pity for the poor girl. Jeannette didn't know what she was in for, not at all. Artemis however did know him. She knew he was a flirt and cocky yet she agreed to go out with him. The question is why? Why had she been so dumb and accept his offer?

Roy could sense Artemis distancing herself from him. She kept quiet, her eyes were cold and never meeting his, her posture was stiff and her hand gripped her drink hard. He knew why she was acting like this though. He wasn't like those guys who denied flirting with other girls or tried to cover it up. He was attracted to beauty and he wouldn't deny it if anyone asked. He also enjoyed the attention girls gave him for being quite a sight himself.

He mentally slapped himself. He shouldn't have brought her on a date, not now and not ever. He would go on million dates with other girls but not with her. If he hurt her then their friendship and bonding would be cut of forever. Not to mention the fact that they often find themselves fighting side by side. He looked at her feeling ashamed of himself for even trying to go out with her. He knew he wasn't able to maintain a lasting relationship and yet he lead her on.

Artemis was a strong girl though. He knew she could have an arrow through his chest in less than a second. She was a bit serious too and so was he. 'Too much alike' he thought to himself. She needed someone relaxed and easy going. Now a pang of sadness overwhelmed him. Someday she would eventually find that guy but what about him? Would he ever find true love?

He was thinking about everything that just happened. This was all a lie he was telling to himself if he thought he could fall for this girl. He was loosing his time and hers. While he meditated Artemis' stare went from the table to his eyes. Her eyes were not cold anymore and she wasn't glaring at him either. She seemed to be deep in thought momentarily. She needed confrontation; at least she had to find out if he knew something about the note, something good had to come from this date.

"What did you do yesterday?" She said firmly and in the silence it felt harsh. "What?" He asked honestly amused by such question. "You heard me" she narrowed her eyes at him. "Uh… Eat, train, talk, sleep." he answered bored but now intrigued by her. "Why you needed to know?" He asked confused and demanding an answer.

She decided that by just asking she wouldn't have accurate information and ignoring him she inched closer to him, just enough to kiss him full on the lips. His eyes were wide open at first from the surprise but he quickly closed them and kissed her back. She stayed there for a couple of minutes until she separated their mouths. Her lips lingered in his mouth for a bit then she pulled back definitely. He wasn't the guy. She could tell, not that she was a love expert or that the kiss had helped much finding out but he couldn't be, she knew since she saw his player attitude. This kiss was going to separate them, but she wasn't complaining about that now. She didn't want to be treated as some other girl who thought Roy was hot. She could toy with him as well. She didn't say a word after she pulled back. He coughed awkwardly at the silence. With a smirk plastered on her lips she stood up and walked out the place.

Outside in the parking lot she texted Kaldur to come pick her up. She gave him the directions and she sat on the sidewalk waiting for him in silence.

Kaldur was bored in the Cave when he got her text. He raised his eyebrow when he read her location. They had the motorcycles for missions only but that didn't mean they couldn't have vehicles of their own. Sure he probably didn't need one but he wanted a car and Aquaman got it for his birthday. Conner was in the garage repairing his motorcycle after he had damaged it during a mission. He didn't pay attention to Kaldur until he heard the car door opened.

"Where are you going?" he asked glancing at the leader.

"Artemis wishes for me to pick her up at a coffee shop." he gave no more explanations and Conner didn't ask any more questions. The car's engine came to life and soon Kaldur was out of the garage. Conner just shook his head and sighed. "What the hell is going on around here?" he asked himself as he thought about all the weird things that have been happening lately.

Kaldur arrived at the coffee shop and stopped the car in front of Artemis. As she was getting inside he noticed Roy's car in the parking lot. 'What is he doing here?' he wondered.

"Is Roy here?" he asked Artemis who was now putting on her seatbelt.

"Yeah" she said. "He asked me out on a date." Kaldur dropped the subject realizing that perhaps she had asked him to pick her up because the date had gone wrong.
