Sorry its been so long! I'll try to not let that happen again. Thanks for all of the reviews from last chapter. I'm glad you like it.

Breaking in

Robin walked into the kitchen in search of Wally. They had five minutes until they had to leave, and surprisingly, he was no where in sight. As Robin approached the speedsters room he realized that the door was completely de-hinged and laying on the floor.

"Umm, exactly what happened here?" Robin asked as he walked into the room and leaned on Wallys desk.

"Artemis."

"Let me guess. After she saw the hair?"

"No," Someone growled from the doorway causing both boys to turn at the sound of the voice, "It was the outfit."

With the swish of a ponytail she was gone.

Robin offered his signature laugh, "I can't wait to see what she has in-store for you."

"Dude!"

Robin just smiled, "Come on, get your lazy ass off of your bed, it's time to head out."

"Yea yea. I'm coming," Wally stood up and followed Robin over his door and down to the bio ship where they boarded, then went to their seats.

Wally sat in the back left seat as he silently observed his teammates, not in the mood to interact with anyone.

M'gann was in the center back controlling the bio ship. She had her legs crossed and was happily chatting to Connor who seamed quite a bit less lively. Connor was seated in the back right seat. Kaldur, in front of him, sat with impeccable posture while staring straight ahead. Wally would have bet anything that he was thinking about the mission. He couldn't see Roy because he was right in front of him but he could hear the faint sound of thumbs tapping on a touch screen. Robin was on the right of the two front middle seats. His eyes were scanning through files at an impossibly fast rate as he brought them up on the screen. As far as Wally could tell, the young boy was studying the profiles of the criminals they were about to face. Artemis was sitting directly left of the Boy Wonder. Her legs were crisscrossed on her seat as she fiddled with something in her hands.

Wally craned his neck to get a better look.

It looked like a... phone? But who could possibly be tex- Ooooohhh. Of corse she would be having secret conversations with Roy. Most likely planning his downfall with some embarrassing stunt in front of millions of viewers on national television!

Then again, maybe he was over reacting. But he had every right in the world to be paranoid. Anyone would be if they had a crazy archer seeking revenge on them. The strange thing was that she hadn't shown any major signs of retribution. It was a little alarming to say the least. Not to mention out of character.

"Acquired destination time remaining, 4 minutes."

"You heard the computer everyone! Get ready to disembark," Kaldur announced, "And M'gann," he turned towards the martian, "Turn the bio ship into camo mode."

"Sure thing Kal!" she replied gleefully.

"As for the rest of you, I have devised teams of three that will be stationed at different lookout points on the island. In the north warehouse building will be Robin, Connor, and Roy. On the docks, I will be with M'gann. Which leaves Artemis and Wally to look out in the main lab. And before any of you complain about your group for the mission," he shot two stern looks at the similar grumpy looking teens, "Batman sent special orders saying that each of our strengths would be most useful in your assigned location."

Artemis crossed her arms and mumbled something under he breath while Wally just glared out the window.

As soon as the ship landed in a forest surrounded area, Robin, Connor, Roy, Wally, and Artemis, piled out.

Kaldur made his way over to the ships door before gaining the teams attention once more, "M'gann and I will take the bio ship to the docks to hide it under water so on one will find it. Remember, stay out of sight and stay safe."

And on that note, the ship flew away leaving the two teams to split up and headed to their lookout spots. Wally kept quiet as he impatiently waited for the archer to say something.

She was stealthily weaving through the trees making sure to stay in the shadows while not making a sound. The team still didn't know about Sportsmaster being her father. And if she was being honest with herself, she was most nervous about Wally and his reaction. She feared that he would be the most unlikely to understand or ever forgive her. She choose the path that she knew in her heart was right. And it would kill her to have to leave the only family that truly accepted her and treated her with respect. Well... Most of them anyways.

Artemis also couldn't help but feel guilty and ashamed of her families actions. Doing the right thing made her feel like she was helping to redeem them one way or another. She knows perfectly well that she couldn't right their wrongs but that's also not the reason why she joined the team. She joined it to stop them. Along with everyone else who lives to scar innocent victims.

She knows how that feels better than anyone. Or in her case worse.

"Soooooooooo..."

Artemis knew that the speedster has been burning holes in the back of her head since they got off the ship.

"What?" she whispered back in an agitated tone.

Wally sped up until he was directly in front of Artemis "Really Arty? No insults, no arguments, no nothing? Quite out of character. Something eating at you?"

Artemis growled through her teeth at her nickname, "Nothing that concerns you Kid Therapist. Now shut up. We're about to get to the lab."

Wally wasn't convinced. But he followed suit and stayed noiseless until coming up to a one story, modern looking building. The mirrored windows made them impossible to through, and therefor impossible to know where to break in without being spotted. The front doors were heavily guarded with armed, burly men dressed in all black.

"Damn. I really hate to say this. But... Got any ideas?"

Wally gave the archer a crafty grin, "Thought you'd never ask."

-

Wally and Artemis made their way to the back of the building. There was a back door with only four guards on watch. Two were walking the length of the back side of the building while the other two were sitting in chairs on either side of the door.

"This is going to be cake, and speaking of which, you owe me some when this works."

"I don't know about cake. But I could personally go for some pie."

"Ha Ha. Maybe after that you can have a little fashion show for the Justice League. That is, if Batman hasn't already told them all about your new uniform change."

Artemis was about to snap back when she heard a similar voice. She looked over the bush that Wally and her were now hiding behind.

"Wha- oh," Wally had copied her actions and was stunned into silence as he strained his ears, trying to listen to the conversation being held at the door.

"Just keep a sharp eye. I'm not paying you to slack off. We don't know when some Justice League cavalry will show up."

"Yes Sir," The guards at the door, now standing up straight, replied seriously.

"Good. Now move," He pushed the guard out of his way and typed in a passcode on a security system number lock.

The door slid up reviling a long, futuristic black hallway with numerous doors leading off of it.

After the door shut the two redheads ducked back behind the bush, "Ok, you take the two on the right, I got the left."

Wally was about to speed off when Artemis caught his arm, "No. We have to wait a little while so when we get in Sportsmaster isn't still in that hallway."

"Ugh. Fine," He knew she was probably right so he didn't press on the matter. There was an awkward pause, "So... What's up with you and Roy?"

"Excuse you?"

"Come on Arty. You're not fooling anyone," Wally smirked as the blood rose to Artemis's cheeks. Not in embarrassment of corurse, but anger.

"It's none of you business Baywatch. And don't call me Arty," By then she had stormed off and shot two temporary paralysis arrows at the guards simultaneously.

"OK then," Artemis was already sprinting to the door bow in hand. Wally easily knocked out the other two guards and dragged them to the archers feet. He retrieved the other two men on watch and then observed Artemis as she bound then gagged each of the men in an astonishingly fast time.

"I guess breaking down doors isn't the only thing you've had practice in."

"Zip it carrot top!"

Artemis was anxious. Every mission with Sportsmaster seamed to drag on and Artemis was just waiting for him to spill her secret. She sometimes wondered why he didn't. If Wally found out today, there would be no trying to convince him not to tell the rest of the team. She could imagine it now; the angry look of distrust, being completely alienated, and worst of all, no true friends to comfort her.

Worst case scenario she stays on the team while they all hate her guts and never trust her again. Or maybe if she dies. It's a close call.

"Hey! Day dreaming beauty! How are we going to get in? We don't even know the password."

Artemis snapped out her dazed state, "You're absolutely no use at all!" The archer reached into the third compartment over on her belt. Nothing. She tried the second. Nothing again. She frantically checked the rest of them. It was all empty, no finger print set, no emergency first aid kit, and no photo, "Wally is this some kind of joke 'cause we are in a bit of a hurry don't you think?"

"Come to think of it, I did have to take all of that stuff out when i changed the color of your uniform."

Wack

"Hey! What was that for?" Wally groaned as he rubbed the back of his head where a small bump was already forming.

"For being an idiot. Not that I should be surprised," she mumble the second part so that it was barely audible. She sighed. And looked at the lock. Maybe... just maybe...

Artemis's dainty fingers glided across the smooth glass surface.

B-A-L-I-N-E-S-E-J-E-M

The light on the pad turned green and the door slid open.

"OK... I admit. That was pretty impressive. How did you know the code?"

"Umm... I saw him type it in."

Before Wally could comment on that impossibility, Artemis was already halfway down the hall.

Wally sped up to her then matched her pace, "Fine. If you're so psychic all of a sudden, which door did he go into?"

Artemis stopped suddenly and put her arm out. Wally ran into it and was about to yell at her when he heard something.

It sounded like... static electricity?

The pair now stealthily crept further and further down the hall until the crackling in the air sounded like lightning striking only a few feet away.

"I'm going to say in here," Artemis whispered as both teen neared the door. She slowly turned the knob until it hit the lock in the door.

"On the count of three?"

She nodded in response, "One."

"Two."

"Three!" They shouted together.

Two feet simultaneously came hurling at the door. It loudly dropped to the floor as a fully armed archer came through the now vacant doorway with the speedster following shortly behind.

Artemis quickly surveyed the area.

The room was pretty big yet it din't have much furniture. The walls, sealing and floor were all a matte grey color. The lighting was dark and unwelcoming. In the center of the room was a metal chair that was connected to two contemporary looking electrical generators. And as far as she could tell, the room was vacant.

"This doesn't make any sense," Artemis lowered her bow and looked at the speedster in his confused state, "Well, why would a bunch of supervillans just leave some an electric chair on?"

Instead of replying, she walked over to the chair to get a better look. Wally followed.

"Well, well, well look who we have here?"

The two teen spun around to find sportsmaster himself standing in the doorway. Artemis was paralyzed with fear. She held his eye-contact for what seamed like eternity.

"Artemis, come on! We can take this guy!" As if on cue, Tsukri, Deadshot Jr, and The Shade appeared behind him, "Aww shit," Wally ran to the archers side as both took fighting stance.

Shade laughed, "Nighty night kiddies!" he held up his staff causing shadows to consumed the room.

Before her vision was completely gone, Artemis shot two arrows at each generator on the chair.

Before they reached their targets she felt something hit the side of her neck. She fell to the ground and was just about to consciousness when she heard a faint explosion. Then everything went black.

Hope you liked it. I already have the next chapter mostly done so I'll try to put that up as soon as I can. And anyone reading my other story as well, I'll get it done as quickly as possible. Thanks again for all of the support, and don't forget to review. I makes my day :)
