36. Slender

"No."

"Come on!"

"No."

"Please?"

"Rob, I said no." Artemis snapped, crossing her arms.

"Come on! Just one game!" The 13 year old begged.

"Robin, I'm busy tonight. I gotta train with Green Arrow and go back home to help my mom out with chores."

"Just. One. Game!"

"My God you are relentless!"

Robin, the Boy Wonder, has been bugging the hell out of her to play the horror game that recently everyone's been talking about; Slender. Now, all of you know that Artemis was a Crock, and Crocks are never afraid of anything...even if they are afraid they're too prideful to admit it at all. Right now, Artemis Crock was currently in this situation. She never played the game, but she knows that it's a horror game and Artemis despises horror; now Boy Blunder cornered her and kept asking non-stop to play the game with him.

"If you say yes I will stop!"

"No!" Artemis exclaimed. "For the love of-I can't play today, Rob. Why don't you ask Wally?"

"I did, and I asked everyone else and they are willing to join, now pleeeeaaasssssee?" Uh-oh, Robin was beginning to pout, not good.

"FINE! Just one stupid game and I'm out, you got that?" Artemis snapped.

"Okay! C'mon!"

Robin dragged the blond archer into the training area where the others were waiting for the two.

"He got you too?" Wally asked.

"He wouldn't stop! Damn persistent bird." Artemis grumbled. "Okay, how are we going to play this?"

Robin pulled straws from his pocket. "Okay, each one of us is going to pull a straw. The person who goes first is the one who draws the shortest straw."

Conner frowned. "Where did you get that idea?"

Robin shrugged. "A T.V. show, but that's not important right now. Okay guys, pick."

The world seems to just...hate her right now. Everyone picked the straws, everyone examined their sraws...Artemis's straw was the shortest one. Damn it all!

"Great," Artemis sarcastically said. "Just what I wanted to do."

"Okay, you ready Artemis?" Robin grinned as he started up the game.

"Not really," she grumbled to herself and stepped forward. She took deep breaths as the word Slender appeared on screen. Well...let the games begin.

Five minutes into the game...

"HOLY SHIT HE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU!" Wally screeched (manly, mind you).

"WHERE? I CAN'T SEE HIM!" Artemis's eyes darted everywhere.

"OH MY GOD, ARTEMIS, RUN! THE STATIC!" M'gann clutched Artemis's shoulder as she watched in terror.

"GOD DAMN THAT BASTARD! I ONLY HAVE 4 NOTES!" Artemis exclaimed.

"I...honestly did not believe this game would be so...intense." Kaldur said as he nervously watched his teammate play the game.

"The music isn't helping either." Conner grimaced.

"Tell me about it." Robin chuckled, enjoying his teammates' distress over the game.

"WHAT'S WITH THIS GUY'S PROBLEM?!" Artemis exclaimed again as she narrowly missed yet another encounter with the Slender-man. "DAMMIT ROBIN! HOW DID I LET YOU TALK ME INTO THIS SHIT?!"

Robin chuckled and said nothing.

"DAMMIT! HE GOT ME!" She could feel her heart pounding away against her chest from all the excitement and terror it was feeling. "I...am never playing Slender...again!"

It was night and everyone was asleep in the cave...almost everyon that is. Artemis was still awake. Every bump in the night was scaring the crap loads out of her. This was so not cool. The damn game shook her up pretty good, and now she couldn't sleep at all. She needed to distract something or the Slender-man image will keep popping in her mind making her scared of every shadow in her room. Artemis walked out of her room, her eyes darting everywhere with goosebumps rising on her arms. Artemis mentally grumbled and cursed Robin for her current situation.

She froze at the sudden sound of rustling in the kitchen. Her heart pace started to race as fear and adrenaline started to pump through her veins. She slowly, oh so slowly, flicked the lights on. A fiery red messy hair met her eyes.

"Dammit Wally! What are you doing here?"

Wally, his mouth full of food, swallowed. "I could...ask you the same thing..." He trailed off.

"...You couldn't sleep." She stated.

"Yeah...you too?" Wally sheepishly smiled.

"It's Robin's fault, the little troll."

"I agree with you." Wally chuckled. "..."

"..."

"Uh...want me to make you some tea?"

"Tea?"

"Aunt Iris would boil some for me when I have nightmares, it calms down the nerve." He said, a tinge of blush on his cheeks.

Artemis smiled at the sight. "Tea sounds nice."

Maybe playing the game wasn't so bad, but one thing was for sure.

"I am never playing Slender again."

Sorry, I had to do it. It was too tempting! With all the Slender going around YouTube...I lost to temptation! XDDD Did you guys saw the trailer for YJ Invasion? I saw Artemis...as Tigress...WITH SLADE, or Deathstroke, which ever floats your boat. I might hate L'gann, but I don't want him to die, I...hope he comes out okay. I still think M'gann's a bitch for doing that to Conner.

I hope you guys like it. :)
