strongA/N: Definitely NOT a one shot.../strong
Artemis paced the living room of the Queen mansion ranting to Oliver, Dinah and Roy at how annoying the bats were "I mean can you believe them!" she continued in a mockingly brooding voice "Oh Tim I need to get you a code name, maybe Red Robin," then she switched to a high pitch squeaky voice "Real original bats, I'm totally feeling the aster!" she mocked the two contrasting characters as Roy stifled a giggle at her impression of Robin feigning indifference.
"What the heck is 'aster'? Actually never mind off topic, Artemis calm down!" commanded Oliver Queen, (ex-)playboy, billionaire, philanthropist and vigilante, " I get that you're mad but Bruce has his reasons for secrecy, the villains in Gotham are nothing like Star City's villains, if you think these guys are nutty you should check out Gotham."
"I've teamed up on covert missions in Gotham and let me tell you there isn't a full square foot where no one's been shot, stabbed, beaten to a pulp and/or murdered in the past 8 years. Gotham is brutal." Dinah chipped in.
"Dick told me once that last time there was a mass shooting and he was present most people looked pissed instead of scared." Added Roy.
Artemis looked at them "Your taking his side." They all shifted uncomfortably and rubbed their necks nervously, averting their gaze "You're kidding me. You do know I live in Gotham right?!"
"Artemis we aren't taking sides we are just... remaining neutral."
Artemis said coldly "Well if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." She turned around and stormed out of the room to the arrow cave (which should really be called the quiver even though Ollie insisted on calling it The Bunker) taking the Zeta beam back to her apartment in Gotham, near The Narrows.
Back at the Queen mansion Roy said quietly "You know she's got a point."
"That whole 'I am the Night' thing is pretty annoying." Agreed Oliver
"She's just stubborn, you know that. Batman has his reasons you said so yourself." reasoned Dinah.
Roy snorted "And those reasons are that he's the most paranoid guy in the universe!"
"-And don't forget suspicious." Added Oliver
"Come on guys be fair I mean he lives in freaking GOTHAM, you'd have to be either crazy or stupid to let your guard down in that place andhe's a rich playboy he's an easy target when not in uniform andhis 'friends' only hang with him because he's rich, every single one of them would turn around and stab him in the back right after they had said that they got his back." Dinah rationalised
"Okay tell me have you ever been to the Wayne Manor?" asked Oliver
"No. But that's because even though Black Canary knows Batman, Dinah doesn't know Bruce!"
"Have you ever been to the Bat cave?"
"No but that's because... because... it doesn't matter why I haven't been but there's a reason!"
"Face it Canary he doesn't trust you." Deadpanned Roy
"He..." her resistance crumpled "yeah he doesn't trust me."
"So who's going to call Artemis and tell her she was right?"
A female voice said smugly "You don't have to." They all looked around bewildered to see Artemis' face on the TV screen, she smirked and waved "So we're bringing this up next league meeting?"
Roy asked "And who are we going to call to the meeting? I mean most League meetings are the Original 7 and anyone who was involved in a major mission that week."
"Let's just call a new meeting that has the Young Justice team, the whole Bat Clan, us obviously and The Original Seven." Finalised Artemis.
