Hey, there! This is my first Young Justice fiction, but don't think that I'm new to it. I've been watching it ever since it came out last Thanksgiving. The episode Secrets inspired me to write this. I'm pretty much drabbling here, and I may not be portraying them right.
I only ask for constructive criticism. Bashing me wouldn't do anything for your lives, so why bother?
All in all, Halloween was okay. Sure, she had been upset at first when she found out M'gann had been secretly dating Superboy. But Artemis wasn't mad about Superboy being taken. It was that M'gann had known about Artemis's past attraction to him and dated him behind her back anyway. Artemis found Superboy unfeeling and temperamental. It was good to some degree, but she mostly found it annoying; looks don't go that far in Artemis's book.
Confession time: Her own older sister turned out to be a flop, so when chipper M'gann came along, Artemis was secretly glad that she could a have a sister-like figure in her life. They had giggled together, gossiped, and did what any other normal human girl would do (though it obviously pleased M'gann, Artemis would be lying if she said she didn't enjoying talking to the sweet Martian.)
Zatanna was nice too. Besides her magic, she was human. She didn't breathe underwater, she couldn't shape shift, and she didn't have super speed. Artemis felt that Zatanna could understand her from a better view point than the naïve Martian could. For instance, when Artemis was feeling low, Zatanna knew exactly what she needed: a girls' night out.
After the whole Harm and Secret incident, Zatanna and Artemis returned to the cave. It wasn't the easiest thing since Harm blew up their vehicles. Zatanna and Artemis had to travel to the nearest Beta-Transporter to get back to the Cave.
To Artemis's surprise, he was there. Speedy. Or Red Arrow, as he now calls himself. When she was little, Artemis had always admired Green Arrow and his sidekick. It must have been frustrating she had reasoned, to always be confused with Wally because of their similar hair color; he being titled "Speedy" didn't help either. But he had crossed the line that day, by insinuating that she couldn't shoot an arrow for her life. After that, she no longer found him cool and mysterious. On top of that, he threatened her after ambushing her in an alleyway in Gotham. What kind of honorable hero did that? But Artemis couldn't really talk about that because of her legacy. Artemis tried her best afterward to seem trustworthy to the Team. At first it seemed iffy, since she had let Cheshire get away, but eventually even Wally warmed up to her.
The Justice League knew of her origins. Hell, Artemis was sure that Robin was in on it too; by the way he smirked behind his mask. She could be wrong, of course, because no one knew what was really going on in his head. But Wally and the rest of the Team didn't know. And Artemis didn't think that it was necessary information for them. The people that she had come to think as a family would scorn her, just as her sister and father did. Harm was right; one couldn't fight if one was still fighting with themselves.
If you guys like it, let me know. For those who know me from my other stories, do not despair, because I'm still working on them too.
