Scented Markers and Joker #2

Normal POV

My Perspective on the Way of Life for a Superhero

By Artemis Crock

In my perspective, the way of life for a superhero would be very hard. You would do everything you could to protect everyone and sometimes they just don't care. You have to work around the clock to help those around the world AND still have to maintain a normal life. It would be hard in a fight, trying to choose between those you love and your mission. It would be fun even though the hardness, bonding with your team mates and meeting people you wouldn't normally have met. You'd meet royalty, members of the government, the Justice League (obviously), and many others. And even though you would go through tough times, your team mates would always be there for you.

'There. Finally finished.' thought Artemis as she got up from the desk in her room at the cave and stretched. She had had homework from every single class. She had so much that the minute she got the cave she grabbed a quick snack and then went straight to her room. She also hadn't gotten to the cave until 8pm because she was babysitting. Artemis looked over at her clock which read 10:00. 'Wow two hours straight.'

Artemis walked out of her room and down the hall to the kitchen. Once she got there she put her plate and cup into the dishwasher and proceeded to walk into the living room. She was hoping to have a conversation with somebody, anybody, she just needed to talk.

Artemis let out a long sigh when she saw the red-head sitting on one of the couches. Well she did say anybody. The red-head turned to see who was behind him and smirked, "Nice to see you too Blondie."

"Where are the others?" Artemis asked hoping yet again to find someone else to talk to.

"Wellllll, Supey and Meg are shopping for more food, Kaldur is swimming, and Rob is obviously training."

'Well that counts out everyone else' thought Artemis. She looked curiously at Wally because he had already turned back around looking at whatever he was doing earlier. It was like he had completely forgotten that she was in the room.

"Uh, Wally, what are you doing?"

"Oh, you're still here? I thought you would have left by now." Wally said without answering her question. He sounded somewhat surprised but he didn't turn around to look at her. Artemis just shook her head and turned to leave. 'Maybe I can find Robin or Kaldur to talk to.' she reasoned in her mind.

As Artemis was about to leave she heard 'pop'. This stopped her in her tracks. Then she heard Wally inhale deeply. This caused her to completely turn around and start walking back towards him.

"What are you doing, Baywatch?" asked Artemis as she got closer. She had a mixture of feelings right now: determination, curiousness, and actually a little worry because you never know what that speedster might be doing.

"Oh nothing," he answered nonchalantly. Artemis had reached the couch and looked ore at the red-head. On the table in front of him was a box of markers. He was holding a marker cap in one hand and a marker in the other. The marker as held up to his nose. "Ah, Strawberry," she heard him mutter.

"What are you doing, Baywatch!" Artemis yelled at him as she was watched what he was doing. This made him jump practically to the ceiling, causing a pink line to form on his nose.

"Gosh Arty! Don't sneak up on me like that! And, if you must know, I'm using my new markers I just bought." Wally said as he put the cover back on the marker he was holding and then put it back into the box.

"You're using them by smelling them?" asked Artemis who was very confused.

"No I'm also using them to color." he stated. She finally noticed his hands were covered in patches of color. She looked back at him with a disbelieving look.

"What they're scented markers." he said as if that would explain everything. Artemis just looked at him even weirder. "See there's blueberry, pomegranate, licorice, raspberry, strawberry, chocolate, orange, pineapple, cherry, watermelon, mint, green apple, and cinnamon." he said. He quickly stuck raspberry, mint, and cinnamon underneath her nose to prove his point.

Artemis just stared at him. She couldn't believe it. He was spending his free time smelling markers and coloring his hands. He was officially the weirdest kid she had ever met. He had been in the running with a few kids from Gotham North, Dick Grayson from Gotham Academy, and Robin but this took the cake.

Now he was just staring at her maybe expecting her to join him. Artemis just did the first thing that popped into her head, she started laughing. Then she managed to say, "You are the weirdest kid that I know!"

Wally's face started to turn the same color as the marker line on his nose. Artemis stopped laughing and broke out into a huge grin that could rival the Joker's. She decided to be "nice" so she said, "Baywatch, just wanted to tell you that you have a bright pink marker line along you nose.

This caused Wally's face to go from bright pink to as red as his hair. Artemis couldn't help herself, she started laughing, again.

Wally's eyes went from surprise to anger as he realized what happened when he had jumped because of her suddenly being at his side and yelling at him.

Artemis bent over in her fit of laughter and she ran out of the room. She kept on running and found herself by the training room. By the time she walked in she was still giggling. She noticed M'gann, Conner, Robin, and Kaldur standing and talking. They turned to see the giggling blonde archer.

"Sorry" she said between giggles.

"It's okay. We were just talking about our schools and homework." Robin said. Then he looked around and asked to no one in particular, "Where's Wally?"

Artemis's giggles erupted into full-out laughter. She ran to her room and shut the door. While she was running out, she heard Conner say, "I don't want to know."

Artemis woke up at 9 the next morning. After she had run to her room the night before she had read herself to sleep. She smiled remembering what had happened in the living room the night before.

She walked into the bathroom adjacent to her bedroom. She stopped to look at herself in the mirror and screamed loud and clear, "WALLY!"

There staring at her was a painted on clown face. She rushed to take a shower. She rubbed until her face was lathered with bubbles. She washed them off and repeated the process many, many times. After doing the process about fifteen times, she finally stepped out of the shower to check her face.

The majority of the paint was gone but there was still hints of it here and there. Artemis would have gone back in to wash her face more but if she did then her face would go raw. Artemis gritted her teeth and stalked out of the bathroom. She quickly changed and grabbed her bow and quiver. She wasn't going down without a fight.

Wally chuckled at his cleverness. This was the best prank/plan of revenge he had ever come up with. Never again will Arty laugh at him. He walked into the kitchen remembering how easy it was to sneak into Artemis's room and paint her face.

He saw Robin sitting on the couch doing whatever he does on his laptop and Kaldur sitting in an armchair reading a book. Wally smiled while he took off running. He jumped over the couch, landing right next to Robin.

"Hey Rob, Hey Kal"

"You sound extra cheerful this morning. What did you do to Artemis this time?" Robin asked not looking up from his laptop.

This just made Wally smile even more. "Oh nothing much. Just look out for the wrath of Joker number 2."

Robin and Kaldur both looked at Wally with curiosity. Then out of nowhere they heard the loud and clear scream "Wally!"

That made Robin and Kaldur even more curious. Wally just broke out into laughter. After about twenty minutes, they heard a door open and a voice yelling, "You're dead West!"

"Opps" said Wally as he went from laughing to looking very scared. This made Robin and Kaldur start to smile.

"Uh Rob, Kaldur you wouldn't let some deranged girl kill your favorite speedster would you?" pleaded Wally.

"No, I wouldn't let a deranged girl kill the Flash." said Robin his smile growing with each second.

"Not funny Rob. Please?"

"Nope. It sounds like you deserve this. What did you do anyway?" Robin said smirking at the speedster.

Then in an instant the speedster was pinned to the wall by two strong arrows with handcuff things at the ends that kept the speedster from moving. Two more arrows were shot just like the ones before but aimed at his ankles instead.

"Hey Arty. How did you sleep last night?" asked Wally nervously as Artemis came up to stand in the boy's face.

"What did he do? Why are you wearing your mask?" asked Kaldur who immediately regretted it.

Artemis turned around and there was a wild and crazy look in her eye. "I'm wearing my mask because someone snuck in my room last night and painted my face to look like a CLOWN!"

"Well it's your fault," Wally said as Robin and Kaldur fought to hold back laughter. "You made me color my face with a pink marker."

"First off it wasn't all over you face, it was just on your nose. Second off it wasn't my fault you were sitting there smelling the marker when I scared you." It seemed that Artemis was still pretty angry over all this.

"Dude, you were smelling the marker!" asked Robin now laughing and Kaldur was chuckling.

"It was a scented marker." Wally tried to explain. Robin and Kaldur just burst out laughing. Artemis smirked and looked at Robin and Kaldur and said, "I think it's time for training now." The two boys nodded and followed her out.

Wally called out after them, "Guys, I can't get out. A little help. Guys!"

Well there's my second chapter of Just An Average Teenage Group. I hope you guys liked it. I was laughing when I wrote this, so I hope it makes you laugh too. See you next time.
