Hello! So I lie. This is a filler chapter a short one and the next will be longer. I realized I had a few 'we need to talk' looks and so I wanted to clear the air. And I'm SOOOO SORRY FOR THE MISTAKES! I didn't know!!!!!!

I own nothing.

Thank you and enjoy!

The Sins, Artemis and Princess, plus a pig, were still in Dalmary Town for another day or two so Elizabeth can heal. From there they will be on their way to Necropolis. So the blonde beauty takes this time to relax and lays peacefully on the giant green pig's head, watching the clouds as they floated by. Artemis is lost in thought about the new incomer, Ban. She doesn't know why but she feels like she knows him and the more she thinks about it the more he feels like her guardian angel from her dreams.

After a few minutes a voice brought her put of her thoughts.

"Yo Airy!"

Artemis lean back her head and greeted back, "Hey Pipsqueack..."

"Mmm, it sure is a nice day." Meliodas sat down next to his fellow blonde.

They enjoy the peace and quiet for a moment because they both knew it wasn't going to last.

Artemis sighed and sat up, shoulder bumping her brother like friend, "Ah, we need to talk."

Meliodas bump her back, "I know. Elizabeth told me."

"It's basic self defense Pip, no need to get worry. It's for emergencies only."

"That's not what I'm worry about..." he had a far away look in his eyes as he remember a certain night.

"So what are you worried about?"

Meliodas, sort of, hesitated but still told her, kind of, "I... Remember that memory trick I did when we first met..."

"Yeah..." her eyebrows raised with questions.

Meliodas smiled and pick at her hair, "Well I need a friend and I want to show you who I am or who I was at least..."

Artemis nodded, "Pip, your stuck with me and I know I will accept you. Good, bad, evil or whatever." She reach out her hand waiting for him. "We do this together."

Meliodas looks at her and her hand, smiles and off they go.

"Whoa..." Artemis saw a beautiful but dangerous looking landscape, it was almost like it was in war with itself.

"So what do you think?"

"Cool, it's like a painting, where the artist paint's his feeling, his story, showing it instead of saying it."

"And what do you see?"

"Conflix. A fight between good and evil, not even trying to find a balance. I also see chapters or layers, one dark and the other light. Growth, development but I also see guilt, suffering, pain, and above all love... I see love spots about 106 maybe 107 times. This... this is you, your life story isn't it."

Meliodas nodded, "Yes, I can't give all the details but I want to talk to someone."

"Hey I'm right here." Artemis held his hand as they started to walk down a path.

Meliodas show her somewhat everything leaving out some details but she understood. His long past, his past lovers and his sin. And never once did she interrupt, only held his hand. Just to let him know she's there.

It felt like hours, even days, or years just to get an understanding of his mind.

Once he finished Artemis only let one tear run down her face. "Wow, now I know who has the Worst Father of the Year award. But Ok..."

"Ok?"

"I will help you."

The words didn't fully hit him but he couldn't let her, "Artemis. No, this is my business, my cur-"

Artemis shook her head and held his hand tighter, "Stop. It's my choice to help you and from what I saw you never once thought to ask, so I'm telling you. I'm going to help."

"You could die..." he whispered.

Artemis sadly smiled because she knew what he really meant, "Everyone dies at some point, just let me help you find yours."

"Airy... you are amazing."

She shrugged, "I know. I guess it's my turn isn't it."

"Mmm."

They left Meliodas mindscape to Artemis's. She place them on the roof of her old apartment.

Then she started to explain.

"This place is, was my home, Gotham. A city with more crime and parties then any other. But all in honesty... it feels like a prison, as you saw from my memory... You already know that my father trained my sister and I at an early age, but I found out why. He made a deal with an assassin. The assassin was a leader of a much larger group of people and assassins. I don't know what the whole deal was, what I do know is when I turn 18... That's when they'll come and get me, so they can train me to become another assassin.

"My father never told me surprised surprised, but one of the test he had me do was to get information without the person finding out. I already passed this test thanks to my so called sister but three or four years ago that's when I found out.

"I always thought he push me harder than Jade so I don't get any ideas of leaving. But it was only part of it... I found a letter... describing my training, how fast I was developing, with my speed, my education, my endurance, everything. It wasn't much, it didn't say who, what, or why but a symbol can speak louder than words.

"It was the symbol for the League of Shadows, the assassin group. I knew I was going to be sent to them, at first I thought I was going to be there new lackey, a foot man, but after a few months of researching and whatnot, that's when I got the tip... A place that had all the answers and I found out the so called secret.

"All the information I found were testes, next coming up training and food plans. My father had, without me knowing, put poison in my food. Small amounts to the point I'm immune to most poisons but wolfbanes. Turns out I'm slightly allergic... Blood everywhere and not pretty. Daddy Dearest at his best everyone."

They were silent for a while and Meliodas saw they were on a tree instead of a large and big town.

"I think the award goes to him." He joked.

Artemis smiled slightly, "Let's call it a tie."

"Deal." they both laugh, not a full hearted one but enough to know they weren't alone.

They got comfortable on the tree, Artemis was laying back on one branch and Meliodas was on a higher branch and laying on his stomach but they were close enough to touch hands. Just in case.

"So he never knew about your magic." The male stated.

She sighed, "No... I don't know how to control them fully, I usually, well before, I kept it under lock and key... but I know one day I will explode. Everyday I'm here I feel myself getting stronger and my senses are stupid heighten now. I can feel other's power or when someone is about to ask a question or know where their attack is coming from. Yeah I get it reincarnation of a fairy and all. But how come..."

"I don't know." Meliodas shrugged, "Different species or a curse."

"Right... but in my dreams she wasn't... I wasn't..."

"I'm sure you'll find the answer soon."

"How do you talk to someone who lives within you or is dead?"

"Capital of the Dead..."

"Funny."

"I tried."

"Whatever Pip... oh yeah look." she got up and unwrap her arms.

"Your arms?"

"No scars. Doesn't..."

"I don't understand it fully, maybe one day..."

"Fine..." she rewrapped them and fell back on the branch making the male laugh, "Ugh! So many questions and so little answers... got to love life right."

"Mm." Meliodas hummed before he remember, "What's this about Elizabeth?"

Rolling her eyes again but now she get it why he didn't want Elizabeth to fight. She would have done the same but as she said, "Like I said self defense but only in emergencies only. She's not like the rest of us who are use to fighting everyday... Well maybe not in the same way."

"I don't want her to fight."

"She's not, just enough to protect herself."

"I just...I don't..."

"I know me too."

"Thank you." Meliodas said out of the blue.

Artemis blinked, "For what?"

"Not judging I guess..." The Pipsqueack shrugged indifferently but Artemis now knew what he was really feeling under that child like mask.

She hit him on the head, "...Idiot. I'm the last person to judge someone's past or their blood family, that's why I'm happy with the one I'm making now."

"What about your team?"

"Too many secrets for us to get really close. Although I know that Robin and Wally, the small boy and the redhead, are best friends and so are Kaldor and Roy, the dark skin one and the tall redhead. And I already know Megan and Connor, the green girl and tall black hair boy, are going to be a couple. I don't have anyone to confide in, but now I do. Even though I might have a time limit here, this place, this is home."

Artemis mindscape turn into the bar, it was empty but it definitely felt like home.

Artemis got an idea hopefully Meliodas will agreed, "Let's make a promise, Pip."

"What kind?" He tilted his head.

"Say I do find a way back there, but and if I somehow come back here for good. Do you mind if I tell you 'I'm back' first then anyone else?"

They both grinned, "Yes and I'll say 'Welcome home'!"

"Thanks Pipsqueack..."

Meliodas released them and only a few minutes has passed so they just enjoy the nice day, as time pass everyone else started to come outside. Artemis has her head in Elizabeth's lap and her feet are on Ban's. Meliodas is next to Elizabeth and Hawk was in front of them. Diane walk next to Hawk's Mama, watching them with a small smile.

'As each day passes I find myself more comfortable within these walls and with each new person I meet and learn their stories, I find my new family getting bigger. I feel less pain, but I still feel empty like someone is missing. But for now I'm focusing on today. The past can stay in the past and the future will have to wait. One day at a time, right.

Meliodas is my brother and the person I can talk to without holding back. Elizabeth is my best friend/sister, the person I go to when I feel down or want a girl chat. Hawk is the fun pet I guess, someone who can make me laugh. Diane, I hope I can become friends with her and learn her story, I bet it's awesome. And Ban, mysterious, familiar and a pain but who knows what will happen.

No more lies, no more here for the ride. But to find my place and repay a debt I know will never get finished. The life debt, saving one another.

The girl from my dreams I wonder what she has to say about all of this...'

A tiny blonde girl floating around in an emerald city smiling to herself.
