dont's own.
Green Arrow/ Arsenal/ Artemis
Being out in the feild again with Roy and Artemis gave me quite the energy boost. Of course neither of them were even looking at me.
"Why am I even here?" Artemis said as we ran across the roofs of Star City. "I'm retired! I should be home right now watching TV with a bowl of popcorn! I have to work tomorrow!"
"You have a job!"
"Oliver I'm nineteen years old! I'm living in an apartment with my boyfriend away from my mom. Of course I have a job!"
"Of course. Of course. Sorry. Are you still in school?"
"Well duh! Seriously Ollie. You're gone three years and you think we've all fallen completly apart without you. Roy's fine too ya know!"
Well clearly she was miffed about something. And Roy wasn't talking at all...
"So you and Jade, huh?"
Roy's head turned so fast I thought Barry would be proud. "What!?"
"I know all about you and Ms. Assassin Girl. Or should I say Mrs. Red Arrow."
I would have laughed if Roy wasn't giving me a death-glare that I know would make Bruce proud. Artemis elbowed me in the chest.
"Ouch!"
"Shut up Oliver! That's my sister you're talking about!"
"And my wife! And how did you know about that?"
"We told you. Pcycic connections and all that. Saw you and Jade sitting in an apartment with a gorgeous baby girl by the way. Artemis do you babysit often?"
It was fun making them blush. Until they started beating me on the head.
"You jerk!"
"Shut your face old man!"
"Can't believe you're still this annoying!"
"Bastard don't make fun of my baby!"
"-last time I share my feeling with you!"
"Okay! Okay, I get it! Stop hitting me!"
Jeeze! Three years still wasn't enough for these two to mature! At least they stopped hitting me. Artemis was still red in the face though...
"So what are we going after anyways" I asked Roy.
"Dick said there was a break in at Star Labs. Couldn't have been anything of value since the lab has been closed for over a year. Probably just some bratty kids looting the building. Wouldn't be the first time."
"Star Labs is closed?"
"Yep. Just like that all the employees get laid off and they quarantine the building before shutting it down for good. Don't know why Dick even bothered sending s out here. There's literally nothing going on in Star anymore."
"What the heck is that supposed to mean"
Artemis sighed, like she was tired of answering this question, "A lot of people cleared out over the year. Factories shut down, stores went out of business. The only thing running here anymore is city hall and the docks. Even the schools are almost empty. The city just died I guess."
"Roy you still live here don't you? I know Artemis is in Central but-"
"I have a safe house but as for the moment Jade and I are near Bludhaven. That place is a hot spot for creeps." Roy wrist started beeping. He pressed a button and, as I figured, a holocomputer lit up. "The nearest apartment is five blocks away. An old motel called Night Lights on eighth street. There's a computer there with access to the WatchTower and radio link to the Batcave; if it's still working. You'll be able to contact the League and others from there."
"What about you?" I asked him.
Roy shrugged, "Jade hates it if I stay out to late. Plus I've got to work tomorrow."
Artemis sighed from beside me, "Same. Wally should be back at the apartment soon. And you know, job and school and everything." She gave me kiss on the cheek. It was warm and very surprising.
"See you later Oliver." And she jumped off the roof, heading towards the nearest zeta beam. Leaving Roy and me alone. Greaaaaat...
"So you're what? Twenty-one now?"
"Twenty-two, actually. Why? Too young to be married?"
"Eh, just a bit. But I'm guessing Jade getting pregnant had something to do with that."
It was getting dark but I could still see him blushing, "She's a cute baby."
"Oh yeah I bet. She'll have her mothers looks and, if we're lucky, your personality."
"Very funny." Roy looked at the ledge Artemis had jumped off. "She got over it pretty quick, didn't she?"
"My thoughts exactly. You all did, really. Even Conner after he got his anger out."
"Can't say the same for some of us."
I was quiet for a moment. "If you're talking about Dick holding that gun-"
"Not just him, Oliver. A lot happened while you were gone. Gotham blew up, Atlantis was almost destroyed, M'gann's telepathy got stronger to the point where she almost died. Hell, Wally and Artemis quit and we thought we'd lost another team member."
"Another?"
Roy bowed his head, "Two years ago, just before Gotham, there was a battle in Atlantis. A guy called Ocean Master was attacking the citadel and almost won if the League hadn't shown. They were a little late though, and Kaldur lost someone close to him. That's all you need to know."
So much death, in just one year. God it seems like the universe is falling apart without us; like after we'd gone missing the whole world just turned upside down. I pat Roy on the back, hoping to give him some comfort.
"Go see your wife Roy. Kiss your kid then go to bed. You look like you need some sleep."
"What are you going to do?"
"Exactly what you told me. Go hang out at that apartment of yours and maybe order a pizza and try getting word from the rest of the JL. I'll call you later too."
Roy gave me a ghost of a smile. "See you around Oliver." He jumped off the roof, probably excited to just go home and rest. Kind of embarrassing actually, a twenty-two year old has his life more together than mine. A kid and a wife- Shit I've got to call Dinah!
So there we have it some Roy/Oliver/Artemis feels for your first week of school blues. Hope I didn't give to much away as I have lots of foreshadowing and story to write about! Hope you've enjoyed and for Robin's sake-
REVIEW PEOPLE! THERE IS NO POINT OF WRITING ANYMORE IF I DONT GET FEEDBACK! WRITERS LIVE OFF THE STUFF AND IF WE DONT GET ANY WE WILL LITERALLY(not) DIE!
so review and spread the word.
Byebye
