ARTEMIS POV 8:45 PM

"Bring, bring"

Artemis began to fumble for her ringing call.

"hello?" she asked groggily

"Hello Artemis" she heard her mother quiet voice.

"Mom? Is that you?"

WALLY POV

Wally had woken up when Artemis' phone first began to ring but he'd ignored it since Artemis hadn't woken up to pick it up, and had slipped back into the warm reaching arms of sleep. The phone had rung off and the telltale beep of someone leaving a message had filled the room.

The second time however, Artemis had when up. He also heard the phone' ringing again but when he felt Artemis began to get up out of the couch they had fallen asleep in, he feinted sleep so he wouldn't freak her out. When she answered the phone, the absence of the annoying, shrill, sound was a pleasant relief. He began to curl back up in the couch when Artemis began to speak

"Hello?" she sounded puzzled and confused as if unsure of the person who was calling.

"Mom? Is that you?"

That's when curiosity began to worm its nosy head at him. Other than knowing she was Green Arrow's niece and that she was witty, and annoying when she argued with him when she was voicing her opinions, he really didn't know much about her, so when he heard the word "mom" he began to listen intently. Part of him -the smart Wally- was nagging him to stop because it was an invasion of Arty's privacy and that she would probably, if not be cold and the tiny bit of support and more-than-friends atmosphere with him would disappear; seeing as it would probably be already awkward with this whole break down thing.

Turning he squinted his eyes- enough to see but not too much he looked awake. He saw her look back and him and lower her voice. The gesture had a weird fluttering feeling appear in his chest.

"Are you okay?" he heard her say. There was a pause as her "mom" answered This continued like this for while.

"Yu- yes, do you want me to come for you?"

"..."

"Okay... Doctor Cranberry will drive you home?"

"..."

"Sure I guess but- fine"

"..."

"Hey Doc."

"..."

"Yes, I know, sorry, I forgot, you know something came up last minute."

"..."

"Yes I know it's no excuse"

"..."

"Okay, so anything new?"

"..." This pause was the longest of them all. Artemis had gotten a notebook and a pen she found on a desk nearby and began to write down information. Occasionally, she'd say things like

"Her thigh muscles need a bit more exercise?"

"Wait! she's experiencing pain in her lower back? As in phantom pains or nerves coming back to life pain?"

"..."

"oh, I see"

"..."

"So let me get this straight. There are kind of like phantom pains but they aren't nerves coming back to life either. My mom didn't say anything?" Artemis sounded puzzled

"..."

"Oh, okay so the muscles still send her brain messages of discomfort and pain, so the pain needs to be relieved. Even though she's.. paralyzed..." Artemis had trailed off her voice breaking slightly.

Wally felt sorry for her and was wondering why she hadn't said anything about her mom and her paralysis to the team. Then it was like a light bulb went off in his head. That was exactly what she didn't want-pity- his or anyone's else and to make thing complicated( to him at least), there didn't seem to be a father figure in her life. well except for Green Arrow and yeah Wally could understand wanting to keep his sister or sister-in-law business private but he could've said Artemis had a lot of responsibilities or something.

And here she was receiving all her mom's diagnosis of a doctor's appointment? Sure the child should know and understand about anything life changing or anything to a disabled family member but Artemis sounded mature and matter of fact about the whole thing as if she'd been taking control of the situation for a long time.

That lead Wally thinking: had Artemis really had a childhood?

ARTEMIS POV

Artemis clicked off the phone. Even though it was like all the procedure was essentially the same with all her mom's appointment; she felt as though a huge bundle of weight had been strapped to her body and was weighing her down. She'd gotten permission to stay at the cave for the night. Her school uniform would be there at HQ when she woke up in the morning or so her mom assured her. Then she would return to school. HA! Artemis nearly broke down laughing thinking about it.

ZATANNA POV 8:35PM

Around the time of Artemis' phone call, Zatanna was settling into her bed for the first time since going to the hospital. Her own personal Epi pen was clipped to her waist. She had already packed her bag with a notebook and pen for extra notes and while she was doing that, she wondered what Dick was doing. After lying on her bed for a good 5 minutes, Zatanna began to nod off. She would shake her head and sit up and a few minutes later, she would nod off again. Finally she lost the battle and nodded right off but before she lost consciousness her last thought was wondering what school would be like tomorrow...

ARTEMIS POV

Artemis could feel her stomach much as she wished(for once) it was that time of the month, the quick rapid cotractions were her nervousness but the bed was soft and soon Artemis too began to fall asleep.

'I wonder what school would be like tomorrow...'
