she found lee took his hand " why are they after you?" she asked him as they tried to find a different way out, untill someone got a hold on both of them and pushed them into a room right next to them, lee was immediately knocked out and fell to the ground. artemis kicked and pushed the person off.
"i must say you look... just..." frustration building up inside of black spider making him edgier. " you are such a tease." he said walking closer artemis took her fighting stance.
" stay away." she was ready but want sure about her shoes or her very expensive and beautiful dress.
" stay away or what." he almost laughed before he sot out his spider web at her.
she dodged it, took a look at lee he was out, she brought out the tough and real hard artemis out and came at black spider, with lots of punches and kicks, which he also blocked and he was jumping from one place to another, artemis started throwing things at him, hoping it would really smash him. but spider was also train under the shadow. he shot a web out at one of many books and objects she threw at him, only to have it swing back at her and she would fall back on her ass.
he tied her hands real quick and with his webs, she struggled through but no luck it was pretty tight.
"now that how i like my girl." he said hovering over her body on the ground. he pulled her by her legs closer to him and held tight to her thighs almost to leave a bruise. artemis was terrified beyond word.
"what are you doing?" she said trying to keep herself as not terrified as she could, did want to believe what would be happening, he moved what ever clothing was covering her legs way. (nothing clothes off but just lifting it away)
"oh i have wanted this for so long." his hands now on her waist he held her soo tight it it hurt she almost made a sound of pain. "but thanks to your daddy dearest it seemed impossible. but now he wish i would have" she shot a look at him, both of shock and horror.
"your lying!" she was angry. and fought to get free from his strong hold.
"you think i am, he would rather have u dead or destroyed then be where... well..." he smirked kissing her neck and sucking at it."be out there with them." he went back to kissing her neck and pushed his own body down on her, she fought tried kicking him off, but no use, his hands were everywhere."and her dress was almost off, to revel a hot green lacy padded bra.
artemis was about to cry painfully thinking alot but nothing made sense to her. her brain was not working he wanted out she didnt want this anything but this. she shouted, just then he slapped her hard on the face. that shocked artemis for a bit and she was quiet due to the shock. she would rather die now then be violated like this, in mist of a battle going on outside.
just then they heard explosions. that distracted him enough so artemis would have a clear kick at his manhood. which she did and he cried in pain and curled over the floor beside artemis. she quickly got up and use something of a sharp object to break her free.
when she did she went all out at spider. she walked over to his curled up body and kicked him in the stomach.
"YOU JERK! ASSHOLE! $%&*^%..." she kicked him with each curse word. grabbed him by the coller and punched him quite sometime. she did not know nor care what was going on around her. somebody grabbed a hold of her from the back, held her tight and moved her away so she wouldnt hit black spider anymore. she started screaming and shouting kicking the minute she felt some one take hold of her.
"artemis!" she didnt her the man "artemis!" she still didnt hear him over her own shouting "ARTEMIS! STOP" he turned her around to look, it was batman. she looked at him terrified, horrified. she was shaking she looked around and tried to compose her self but she couldnt stop shaking. batman for the first time, looked worried. he took notice of her fixing her messed up clothes pulling her dress to hide any unwanted skin and cover up her bruised legs.
robin just walked in and saw lee on the ground, he went to check his pulse "he is breathing, he'll live" then he took notice of black spider, and wide eyed and quickly went over to him to check his, it was there but week he will make it. however this did not worry him as much as the thought of Artemis doing something like this. the sight of her was also unlike her she was shaking and terrified like a child.
batman immediately let go of her when he understood what, and why she was like this right now. he walked over to black spider and roughly took his body out.
"artemis?" robin he moving to approach her worried could be heard in his voice. he didnt understand, but could see she was a mess, not just physically but also emotionally. but he was stopped by someone else calling out her name.
"artemis?"lee slowly got up and walked up close to her. she hid her face from him and wannted to get her had straight. she took a deep breath and cleaned of any tear that was there present on her face. and looked at him "are you ok what happened?" he reached out to hold her but she moved away, and walked to robins side.
"wait you dont remember... oh yeah you were knocked out, they tried to take you thats when batman and robin came to help" she said but her voice was not normal it was far from it. she tried her best not to go mental, she was in shock of what happened and was acting on reflex. "i think... i think we should leave." she said through the shaky voice, and fidgeting.
"im so sorry, its my fault i shouldnt have asked yo-" he coming close to her when she looked away from him and cut him off.
"we should leave." she said quick , and firm. he stopped in his tracks and nodded.
The party had came to an end, most of the older guest were out raged, while all the kids had a mix reaction, some were scared while others were enjoying that the experience was cool, considering they saw batman and robin in action. more like a fan that they met there hero... well saw them afar in action. there were mixed reviews. but the only review batman worried about was artemis.
Having caught hook and black spider, they were to be taken to Belle Reve. Batman watched through the corner of his eye too look at the messed up girl. she was still shaking but not so much anymore. her date, lee was done talking to the police went back to his date, who he insisted that he would drop her. she flinched when lee first put his coat on her, she took it and put it on trying to cover herself. (again her actions are all on reflex).
"lets go.." lee said. she nodded and walked away to his car. batman blamed himself for this, you could see the pain in his eyes.
"Cheshire escaped, lets see if they talk, however... what happened to him." robin asked motioning to black spider unconscious and being dragged at the back of the belle reve van.
batman looked back at that unconscious body. "nothing happened, he just got lucky".
lee arrived at her house and stopped the car outside. artemis looked out the whole time, she was looking but not paying attention. she didnt even realize that he had stopped driving and was outside her own house, she was lost till...
"artemis... we are here," he spoke softly to her, she looked around to make sure and quickly geting out till lee slowly tried to hold her arm, she quickly looked back at him frightened, he let go immediately "im sorry i didnt mean to scare you, " silence for a bit
"you didnt scare me.. its just... its just.. has been a long day i wanna and rest." artemis nervously said. "im gonna go now bye" she quickly got out of the car and was walking up the steps, she tried to open the door but her hand wasnt steady and she dropped the key, but lee picked it up
"im really sorry... about all what happened today. i needed someone there i could trust be with i, i dont know this new world nor do i know why they are after me." he hugs her she is frozen but still slightly shaken. "it help to know that you are there, even just as a friend, and i want you to know im here for you whenever, so be there for me too" his voice got week as he continued. he let go of her and tried to look at head was hung low.
"i just need time." she looked back up at him and quickly unlocked the door got inside locked the door and ran upstairs. lee didnt do anything but let his eyes follow her action till she entered the house. he walked back to his car, feeling low every low. he got into his car looked back at artemis window one last time before, he drove off.
"she didnt even bother to mention to her mom what had happened, but she ran t her room and locked her self in, slid down on the floor buried her head in her knees, just before she start sobbing loud which she really need to. she dug her nails in her arms while holding herself. and when it was gonna come anyway, she crawled to her bed and cried in to the pillow. he was her friend at one point they werent that close but werent far apart either. why would he wanna her hurt like that, is that how it has been for him this whole time. is that all she was a piece of ass which is off limits cuz of her father, well was off limits. now did he hate her that much that it was ok that things like this would happen? no whatever good or bad dad would never have stood for that. he couldnt. and Cheshire what of her. is family nothing to them are they that far gone that even this was ok! doing this to me was ok! i hate them i hate them!
artemis was done crying, now this was personal. she can no longer hold back, because of family they werent family. this is not a family! she thought hard in her head. now sat on her bed, after thinking a little more she went to shower and this time she took a longer shower, again standing in and thinking and trying to relax. tomorrow is gonna be a new day the beginning of her and the end to them.
Back at the cave.
Batman and robin came back. he went to shower, came out and met with wally.
"hey have you seen artemis?" robin asked wally while drying his hair.
"nope she didnt come in today, why" then he remembered she didnt say where she was n the phone.
"she is still not back yet?" he asked, "maybe she went home."
"what do you mean?" wally was now worried, at that robin told his best friend about the evening, and how artemis was at the end. "why dont you ask the bats?"
they were walking down the training room. till they heard people shouting. it was green arrow and batman, well mostly green arrow. now almost the entire team was there, coming to see why the audlts were fighting over.
"... you should have checked she is just a kid... i told you this was too much for her" green arrow angrily his was voice not shouting but he was loud.
"i couldnt from what i could make out, it didnt happen. i know it was my error in judgement." batman still the same tone as ever but it was strange he seemed guilty of something no one could make it out.
"she is off the assignment!" green arrow said with a lot of authority, but none on matter to batman. but he knew green arrow was right, for a child its alot to take in and move on from.
"she will be" green arrow was calm till "if she chooses" this made him more angry at batman.
"what do you mean how could you?"
" do any of you understand what is going on?" Magan asked through the mind link
"why are they fighting?" zatana was confuse, and worried.
"im not sure what exactly" kaldur
"whatever it is if it dosnt concern us then take up at the watch tower."
"its over artemis." robin said.
"what why is she ok?" magan asked after everyone confused either said what or huh
"im not sure something was different today," he said and then "she was terrified, and distant. something is wrong."
"Arrow i understand you are upset but now is not the time." arrow looked at what batman meant, the team was all there now.
"i think he is right olli" black canary said putting a comforting hand on his shoulders. he understood and had stopped but batman also knew it was far from over olli and cannery zeta tubed out.
"whats going on... is artemis ok?". wally finally spoke. batman didnt say anything. but just looked away. "batman what wrong tell us is he ok? she is o right tell me!" wally walked a little closer from behinde his team so he was in front of his team.
"im not sure." was all he said and he walked off. non of them knew what was going on. wally took out his phone and was dialing,
"what are you doing?" robin asked
"calling artemis, we have to be sure she is ok" he barley made it through after 2-3 rings till robin snatched his phone out of the speedsters hand and hung up. "wait what-"
"i think we just need to be calm, dont call her right now let her a little whelmed." the speedster snatched his phone back now he was angry.
"what are you talking about she needs us, i need to see if she is ok" just then he got a msg from artemis,
Artemis:
hey wally sorry couldn't pick up, really sleepy talk to you tomorrow ok
:)
he replyed to her msg then shut his phone and put it back in his pockets.
"ok we will talk tomorrow, but it just bugs not knowing you, what could be so bad that both g.a. and bats are worried and what assignment dose he have?" they all wondered the the same. they dont remember getting any assignment unless it was her own solo thing.. which now they were worried. wally was agitated. and wanted to know now but felt maybe robin was right, he would talk to her when she can.
Wally:
ok beautiful take care and sleep well, see you tomorrow.
;)
artemis smile, after a few minute fell asleep, in to a peaceful sleep, it was his word that comforted her, she knew now she could sleep well.
the next day artemis went out for a run, which she always did, but today was different, it was like warming up before the war, she tried to run more but she ached all over.. luckily for her, her school was out due to recent events she would not like to remember. but then there was the cave also, she had to go there. after a good run she went to take a shower at home. she stepped out of her shower wrapped the towel around her slim and fine body. taking a good look at her self in the mirror, her bruise were far more visible now. they were dark purple, there were hand prints on her arm, her stomach, leg there were more in her inner leg bruise. she also had hickey all down from her neck, collar bone, all the way down near her breast.
she shivered, a little remembering the incident, she almost gave out but got a hold of herself and tried to over up the marks as much as she could with a concealer, then she wore a turtle neck and wore her jacket on top of it. and her skinny jean, with booths, and was about to head out but then she also went to get her green jacket to go with her hero out fit. she headed out to meet up with the team at the cave.
when she arrived she only saw batman by the screen typing. she walked to him. he knew she was there but didnt say nor look at her.
"i have made up my mind, i will do it." batman stopped typing and looked at her confused
"but why... after yesterday..." bat man didnt Finnish nor did she let him
"now i want to do it now more then ever," she looked strong on her choice.
"artemis no, you dont-" again he was cut off and now both were angry at each other.
"what why i can do this you know i can, and who better," she put her hands on her hip
"after the events of yesterday you are the last person i would want involved in this." he went back to look at the screen, "to to close to you, to personal."
"which is what makes it even more easier to do i know how they work." she tried to debate but batman wouldnt listen to even one of her reasons. "either i do it or i still do it you cant stop me" you brought this to me, because you knew deep down inside that i needed this, i have to break free, you know it. als-" now she was cut off by batman when he suddenly turned to look at her.
"why are you wearing that shirt, its not so cold in here," she looked away from him knowing where this was going. "if you cant deal with your issues, if you separate them then it will consume you drown you. and kill you away like cancer." she looked back at him, he pulled down the turtle neck, and saw the love bites that were there, she didnt move but just stood still looking at the floor.
"i cant do this i know it. also i have to if i ever want my issues dealt with, if i dont i will loose my mind" she was sincere and batman knew that she was right. but he didnt like it, she was just a kid.
"ok but if it gets to messy and you cant handle it you escape" understand he was firm when saying this. the team was gathering around. " it is your call but know this isnt a game any more." she understood very well more then he knew himself.
"artemis!" wally speed up to her.
