A/N: Requested a long time ago by Kelly1432 for some Artemis/Verena bonding time.

I cocked my gun, aiming at the fast moving targets. The targets were slightly blurry as they moved from side to side, taunting me.

I fired five times consecutively, and then stopped the moving targets.

When the targets stopped moving, I smiled to myself when I saw five holes in the center of each board.

"Wow," I heard a voice from behind me. I was wondering when she'd speak up. "Really nice."

I turned around and smiled at the fellow blonde. "Thanks," I said, leaning back against the counter. I looked at the bow and arrows she had and asked, "You wanna join me?"

Artemis nodded her head and I hit the button for new targets to appear. Five new targets appeared and Artemis aimed. She launched five arrows consecutively and I paused the machines.

"Not bad," I mused, nodding in approval. I held out my gun to her. "Wanna try with a different weapon?"

Artemis looked at me and said, "Only if you do as well," before holding out her bow.

"Deal," I replied, taking the bow out of her hand. I weighed it as Artemis tested out how my gun was. "You first~" I sang, just as the targets replaced themselves.

I waited patiently and watched as the blonde completely focused, keeping her eyes straight, shoulders up, never losing focus.

She shot once, then twice, then another, and another, and another.

I paused and looked at the targets. I didn't see any of the bull's-eyes blown out, but she did get really close. Not bad. Not bad at all.

"You're not bad," I said, turning to look at her. "You could be a great shot with a gun if you practiced more."

"I really don't like using guns though," Artemis said, lifting my gun up and down. "The retaliation was stronger than I thought. I never see you flinching when you shoot. It threw off my aim."

"You get used to it," I told her. "But I did see that. That's why you stand with your legs further apart to get a better footing."

"You just whip out your gun and shoot though," Artemis told me. "And that's pretty badass."

I let out a laugh. "Thank you. You're pretty badass yourself."

"Alright, it's your turn to be humiliated now," Artemis said, clapping me on the shoulder. "I'd like to see the Girl Wonder fail at something."

"Well, be prepared to be disappointed then," I arched a brow challengingly at her.

"Big words for a little girl," Artemis mused before the targets switched. She handed me her quiver, and I swung it over my shoulders easily.

The targets started to move, and I pulled out an arrow. I aimed, my eyes zoning in to the moving targets. They moved from side to side, but I narrowed my eyes, and they almost looked like they slowed down to me as I recognized their patterns of movement.

I launched the arrow, and didn't hesitate to launch the other four as well.

Artemis hit the pause button and I grinned.

All five were bull's-eyes.

Artemis let out an impressed, low whistle. "Damn! Guess your aim isn't just for guns, huh? Where'd you learn to handle a bow and arrow like that?" She looked at me incredulously, taking her quiver and bow from me.

I smirked, leaning back casually. "Taught by two master archers," I grinned, holding up two fingers. "You're quite acquainted with them."

"Green Arrow and Red Arrow?!" she exclaimed.

I nodded, smiling. "You don't think that Green's only taught just you and Red, now do you? It's boring to only just master only one skill."

With that said, I pushed myself off the counter and walked, but not before giving a quite salute to Artemis.


A/N: So I finally decided to watch Arrow and it is AWESOME. Ever wonder how badass it'd be if other JL members appeared on the show? Review/request! :)
