This story mostly fallows the episode timeline up until after the big fight in Usual Suspects. Minus the Roy is a mole thing and the league being brainwashed. Instead, I'm pertending that the league got hacked instead of having a mole.

Also, Witch Boy is kinder and more handsome than in the cartoon.

Chapter 1

Artemis rolled her eyes as Wally ran out the Bio-ship's door after Megan. "And he just got done telling me that Doctor Fate's power was made up of science." She mumbled. "Do not let it bother you, Artemis. He is simply flirting with our Martian teammate." Aqualad said, trying to be of some comfort. He got a smile from the archer for his kindness. He was glad his alantian skin hid his blush.

It took them a minute to get their bareings. These were the cordinants but there wasn't anything there. Wally ran around for a while, but couldn't find anything. Artemis asked him what kind of science was being used, but right ass he started answering Megan walked up. "Obviously, mystic powers are being used." He said, using way to much infeses for anyone but Megan to believe him.

Kaldur opened the door with the golden key that tornado had given him. They were to look for Kent Nelson and the Helmet of Fate, but when a projected image came up, asking their intentions, Wally had to give a sarcastic reply. "We are true believers, looking for Doctor Fate." He said. The image looked disgusted before disappearing and a trap door opened beneath them. Before anyone could react they were plunged down, toward lava.

Kaldur's face was really really hot even after they went from the lava to a cold landscape. AArtemis had saved him, and he's face had been hot ever since, but he simply blamed how close he had come to the lava.

Both being as stubborn headed as the other, Wally and Artemis grabbed onto Kent's cane and were teleported to Nelson, Albra, and some boy that neither superhero had seen before. For a minute, Artemis simply stared at the boy. He was handsome, with pale skin and hair darker than Robin's. Though he looked angry, he's laugh (he was laughing at Abra shocking Kent Nelson) sounded strained and fake.

She snapped out of it when a door appeared and literally dumped the rest of her team at her feet. Everyone, but Robin who hadn't come on this mission because he was off with Batman, that is. Wally and Kent went through a huge golden bell, the strange boy soon fallowing. The rest of the mission she spent totally failing at fighting Abra.

The fight was soon over, and they headed back to the Cave. After receiving praise on the job, though they were informed that Nelson had been killed by a heart attack due to the shockings that Abra had given him, Artemis started heading home. She couldn't resist stopping to tease Wally before doing so though.

Artemis was use to walking home alone, and didn't expect anything from it. So she was totally unprepared when a voice called to her from a roof nearby. The pale boy, Klarian the Witch Boy she had been told, waved at her.

Hiding her shock, she looked up at him. "Can I keep walking, or is it safer to just talk to you?" she asked with attitude. The boy smirked and shrugged his shoulders. Artemis looked down the street for a moment. She could easily shoot and him and flee, but he made her curious. So, instead, she climbed up a fire escape ladder, and sat next to him. From their perch, Artemis could see all of Gotham, looking beautiful in the dark with all of its lights.
