A.N ok this is like just a filler, but will upload really soon btw if i hadnt made thing clear then here it is,

"normal talking"

"mind link talking"

inwardly thing

Weeks go by, (performance ep can also be included if wanted) and nothing, they don't speak to each other more than needed its always and only mission related. For some reason it wasn't the same with them not as much talking but they would bicker, the team tries to heal there broken family Megan and robin and Zatana gave their best, but to no avail. Also in that time period they had gained a new member Rocket, also a new romance couple. While the team saw one built and then fall down hill another one was going as steady smooth as it should have.

It was December now and which meant exams were just around the corner. So basically they would get fewer missions, and more time to study. But Aqualad would try and make time to return to the surface world. They have already started going on dates though they did not label their relationship just yet. And red arrow was promoted, to the justice league. All was well and normal, well figuratively.

But today was the day that they would get there assignment, through out that time period, what they had learned and discovered was that lee was indeed a victim to his uncles crimes. But before the league or the authorities can have any luck of capturing him he fled, while as usual lex was dropped of all charges making him yet again a free man. But sadly they could not retrieve the drug however, it came to their knowledge that it was in production and was being sold on the streets, at numerous location which is why batman had called them over, on Wednesday, so they would have the entire week till Friday, to learn and do a little research on their own, before they leave to investigate.

"you have 3 days, you have to go to," on the holographic screen came in view, a village in the jungles located in "Thailand, we have Intel that the XZEON (just a random name i gave it) is being mass produced from there, then shipped off to," in came another view of a port, in Pakistan, the Karachi port "through which it is assembled and shipped of to different locations worldwide." Batman was informing the team of their mission.

"in that time frame you are required to, collect information, and look for the middle man, there have been some citing of Lenard brink, if he is still alive and held captive, then that's the place where he would be." Batman kept going, "in Pakistan you must find the right group and consignment to stop it from being taken anywhere else." Batman then was scanning the team, batman was done explaining.

"and now we make our move. But first we need to know around these areas we shall study on them and try to blend in without attracting any unwanted attention." Aqulad said.

"Exactly you have until Friday, then you move out". Batman said and everyone agreed. "Artemis we need to talk," batman said and walked away, everyone looked at Artemis as she followed Wally just folded his arms over his chest.

"hey Superboy can u use your super hearing, to see what they are talking about? Even I don't know whats going on.." robin concluded, and though Conner didn't like being told what to do he still did it anyway,and everyone came closer to him and tried to read his face, for anything serious.

"you are not sitting in for your counseling sessions with black cannery. Why?" batman question with the same tone as he ever has,

"I don't need counseling, what I need is something to fight," she said folding her arms and looking up at batman.

"you think you can go in to the field with your unresolved issues, you were almost r-" she dopped her arms, looked at him fearing he might say that word to through her back. Batman also stopped before he were to say something wrong.

"look batman I know you, G.A. and canary are trying to help, but im past that now why cant you all get past it and just through with it like it never happened?" she turned to walk way, but batman put his hand on her shoulder to stop her.

"you are off this mission," she spun around. "you are a danger to yourself and the team until you don-" batman every so firm but was interrupted by Artemis, surprised shocked and hurt.

"until I don't! until I don't what!" she took a step forward. "you can't do this." Batman just starred her down and said nothing she took a deep breath. "ok you want me to work through them I will, but talking about it wont help unless im talking to the right person. And from the way we talk you will see results most definite of It."

"you are still off untill Canary give her approval" Batman said walking off. she walked away, out of the cave to the beach. Batman stopped to watch her go, then walked in to the zeta tube.

"well?" robin asked as he notice there conversation ended. Superboy honestly didn't understand himself. So how could he explain to others?

"what is it super boy?" Aqualad asked taking a step forward. Now everyone was curious as to what was it…

"she … she has issues…." He said blandly, "there is something that happened to her though I think on an emotional level, that she need counseling from black canary" superboy said confused.

"but I thought you were all done from your counseling sessions with black canary, weren't you?" Zatana asked looking at everyone,

"Counseling session? From your failsafe?" rocket asked.

"yeah and Artemis was the first one to be done with," Megan replied. Rocket, looked to see where Artemis went. She thought she should just see whats going on talk to her maybe, cuz she had no idea what was going on, since she was still new to the team.

"do you think she will come on Friday?" Wally asked sheepishly from everyone.

"i am not sure but I don't think she will give up" Aqualad said looking at rocket but she was gone,

Outside Artemis sat on a rock as the waves hit the rock and splat some water on her. she was disturbed confused and most of all angry. rocket came out and followed her foot print in the sand, Till she found Artemis sitting on the rock.

"hey girl, why so serious?" she asked her comically to sit next to her.

"oh nothing just, chilling." She said still looking out on the horizon.

"You know, if there is a problem you can talk to me or anyone on the team right" rocket told concerned. Artemis dug her nails in her arms.

"you when I first started out as a side kick, my mentor, Icon didn't even want to be a hero until I convinced him," rocket started telling her a few things that she thought might help her, if she had known a few of hers then Artemis would ease up a little, "and to think me, a convict." wait what! Artemis suddenly looked at her; rocket took note on how she looked at her "yeah I know, I know. It's not something I advertise about, but it was a dark period at that time for me and if I hadn't met I icon, if he hadn't cut me some slack then I probably wouldn't be here right now." Both girls turned to look back at the horizon; Artemis was beginning to feel comfortable.

"but doesn't it bother you that one day the ghost of your past would come to haunt you?" Artemis asked.

"hum it use to, it use to bother me a lot. After a few run ins from my pals I learned, I cant do anything about it to change it, and honestly I wouldn't want to. Its because what I know and experienced make me different and awesome at the same time." She smiled at Artemis. Artemis did feel some ease. "Any way why bore you with my stor-" rocket was inturpted.

"I was almost raped. a few weeks ago by someone I trusted at one time," rocket gasped ok she was not expecting this it could have been anything, a dying family and messed up boy issue but not this. "and the worst part is my father knew and wouldn't have done anything, even if we don't see eye to eye but to be like this is more then I thought," she rested her chin on her knees. "im past it, well trying to get so," rocket put a hand on Artemis shoulder for support and comfort.

"dose anyone know this?" rocket asked

"only a few of the league. Like the bats, G.A. and Cannery, and now you but u mustn't tell anyone not the team or Aqualad."Artemis narrowed her eyes when she said the last part. Rocket blushed alittle,

"its not my story to tell but, girl the team is worried about you don't you think they can help you?I mean kid is tripping over some kid when he really wants to know what's getting at ya!"

"they cannot know not yet any way, maybe later not now!" she her voice turning from hard to a low soft one.

"ok girl," rocket said. They both just sat on the rock silently

"Artemis. Artemis, hold up." Lee came running through a bunch of other G. Academy student, Artemis was just pulling out her text book for the next class when she turned to look at lee, its been awkward for both, Artemis tried to avoid lee as much as she could, though it wasn't difficult at first due to papers. But they knew he was in a clear and had no direct involvement, she didn't need to be at his side at all time. But instead she now kept her distance. Which he took notice off.

"whats up?" Artemis asked lack of interest in her voice.

"oh nothing." he joined to walk by her, then after a few seconds he held her arm for her to stop walking so she did and looked at him. "are you avoiding me?"

"no why would I be avoiding you" she smiled and looked away and started walking, oh she was so avoiding him.

"I dont know, havnt see you much lately and every time I come around u disappear." Which was true but why would she tell him that. "Everyone is like its me, and dick is like your seeing someone." She stopped dead in her tracks.

"what!" she questioned all confused and alert.

"tell me if you are, just be real say it if you are don't string me along or keep me in you back pocket" she was getting angry at him

"are you cra-" she was cut of,

"don't lie, I also heard dick say that things are a little rocky and that's why u are so distant from everyone lately." He now led her from both her arms. "listen if you really like him! be real" she got really annoyed and moved his hands away.

"I have no idea what your talking about, but right now I have to get to class," she walked away later.
