A/N: Lately I've been thinking about how Robin knew about Artemis' family (no surprise there though) and Wally didn't and it's been bothering me. Because I'm pretty sure Wally and Dick know Roy's identity (I remember Wally knowing Dick's) there for knowing who Green Arrow was. And then there's the fact Roy recently quit being Oliver's sidekick recently and somehow Green Arrow gets another that's already trained and says that his new sidekick is his niece that Wally and Dick never heard about. So yeah this plot bunny has been driving me crazy so I've decided to write a drabble about it.


Wally isn't an idiot.

He may act like one in front of a gorgeous lady or ladies (He's a speedster teenager do you really expect anything else from him?) but he really isn't. So that is one of the reasons why he doesn't trust his new team-mate.

One, she's just a substitute archer until his best friend, who's practically his brother in all but blood, takes his rightful place on the team.

Two, she's lying. Oliver has never once mentioned having a sibling much less a niece in the years that Wally has known Roy's adoptive father. So how come he miraculously pulls one out that's already has extensive training in archery and hand to hand combat in such a short period of time (too short for how much training she has) that Roy quit being his sidekick? Admittedly, Green Arrow could have been training Artemis (Also how arrogant is it to call your superhero name after the Greek goddess of archery? Very arrogant it is, the Star Wars fan in him answers his own question in Yoda speech.)

But if Green Arrow had been training another sidekick when he still had Roy as his why didn't Roy know about her? When Wally had asked his brother from another mother and father about the newest member of the team Roy had told him he'd never knew about another sidekick or heard about Oliver having a niece before telling him telling him to be careful with his newest teammate. So that meant Oliver and Artemis were lying to the team but why?

Oh.

Conner was Superman's clone, Dick was Mr. Wayne's adoptive son, Megan was Martian Manhunter's niece, Roy was Oliver's adoptive son, and he was the Flash's nephew. Okay so everyone but Artemis was related to their mentor...Maybe that's why she and the League were lying to the team about her identity.

Huh.

But that still left a questions. Like who really was their newest team-mate's family. Who trained Artemis and why was trained? How did she know about the Shadows?
