I kick and hit the punching bag over and over again making it go backwards and side to side i have been doing this for over a half an hour and have not stopped im to frustrated and angry i just keep hitting the bag again and again

Stupid Wally stupid stupid stupid you just had to die didn't you

It has been over 2 years since his death i still go on missions with the team but it's not the same without him there the others have already mourned his death and have long since stopped be so depressed even after another one of us died they got over it just as quick

Stupid megan why did you have to die too

She had died a year ago during a mission she had pushed her powers to far and died in the process connor took it the hardest though he never showed it he had nightmares for a while but it soon passed but i still haven't gotten over it yet i had lost two people in two years and it was taking its toll

I stop punching the bag and head for the kitchen to get something to drink i walk into the living room and garfield,lagoon boy and kalder were sitting on the couch garfield looks up at me and i just glare at him scaring him i walk into the kitchen where i see connor mixing something in a big bowl but decide to ignore him and grab a drink from the fridge

"Hey"connor says to me and continues mixing whatever it was that was in the bowl "Shut up connor" i say to him and walk away finishing my drink and heading back to the training room once i get there i begin punching the bag repeatedly letting my frustration out i continue this for hours not stopping until connor of all people comes in

"Artemis you need to stop you've been going at this for hours"he tells me "Go to hell connor"i say and punch the bag again and again until he walks over and stops my next punch i look up at him and he has his expressionless look on his face and so i decide to hit him instead he seems unaffected and still holds my hand i punch him again and again he never even flinches not even a little

"Artemis i know you hurt i know you are in pain but please stop your only hurting yourself and the team"he says

"I said shut up connor"i say and hit him in the face he still doesn't even flinch but as i go to hit him again he lets me go

"Wally and Megan wouldn't want you to be like this artemis"i then snap and go all out on him putting as much force as i could into my punches and kicks as possible

"How would you know what they would want your just a stupid clone of superman trying to prove himself as the real one"i yell at him he just stands there as i hit him i then look behind him to see the rest of the team looking at me including red tornado and green arrow and black canary i then run twords them to attack them when connor tackles me to the ground as i scream and kick him as the team looks on

"let go of me you stupid clone let me go"i yell but he just holds onto me and then lets go momentary only to give me a hug i just keep hitting and screaming at him trying to squirm out of the hug he just doesn't let go of me

"Let me go i dont need you or anyone i hate you i hate you all" he just ignores me as i break down my hits become weaker and weaker as i let my pent up emotions out i then stop hitting and screaming and look up at him and he looks at me i then hug him tightly and cry my eyes out holding onto him as if my life depended on it

Connors Pov

She continued to cry for a half hour she then went limp in my arms and i picked her up and walked twords the others who looked at me shocked

"Move"is all i said and they all moved to the side as i carried my best friend to her room and set her in her bed as i go to leave i feel someone grab my hand i look over to see artemis holding my hand

"Please dont go dont leave me alone"she says and i can hear the pleading in her voice so i just climb in the bed with her as she puts her head on my chest and falls asleep

"dont worry artemis i'm not going anywhere"i say and hold her close as she sleeps i then kiss her forehead and fall asleep next to her

Artemis Pov

I wake scared and confused i look around whipping my head back and forth trying to remember where i am i then feel arms around go around me and see connor i then remember the events that have just happened recently and decide to relax in his strong arms as we begin to go back to sleep but i decide to give him something first

I look up at him and turn my body around and kiss his cheek put my head on his chest

"What was that for"connor asks puzzled i just smile

"to thank you for always being there and for another reason that i have to debate with myself later"i say he nods and we go back to sleep

I think im falling for him if i am please don't take him from me
