A/N: *lets out a nervous giggle* Hi guys...I am so sorry it's taken me so long to update. My plot dragon took off and landed on a bunch of other plot mountains. As some of you can tell from my profile, I have a few more stories up. One was a Collab I did for the Ultimate Collab Challenge.

So I may or may not have followed the plot...well, somewhat. The last one I just wanted to add in there because I thought it was cute.

Anyways, I think this is my third update, from the total amount of stories I have up, that I have this week. (2nd today) The college essays are making my plot dragon run rampant.

Enjoy!

Characters: Artemis w/ the others

Rating: T (for a certain part...)

Genre: Humor, Friendship, Romance(ish)

It's a disturbing thought how Artemis had accommodated her living style with the rest of the team.

M'gann

She didn't seem to mind when she found a few of the items in the little pouch she now sported with her uniform. Which was supposed to be weird since she only just started making the pouch to store necessities on missions about a month ago. Her morphing abilities managed to keep the tampons out of site. No doubt, if they were to show, the others wouldn't question about them due to her sheepish nature, while if it were Artemis who was seen with the tampons, she would most definitely be teased by them.

So M'gann didn't question when Artemis approached her and murmured softly to her about needing one a few weeks later. Instead, she smiled and took one out, discretely looked around, then pressed it into the waiting girl's open palm. They shared a knowing smile before the blonde turned to walk away.

Wally

He detested how his pockets (when in civvies), his suit's compartments (in uniform) were filled with items he knew he did not put in there. At first he thought it was Robin who was pulling his leg, but when Wally questioned the extra amount of chocolate that took up the space for his chips, the Boy Wonder had just given him a funny look.

Wally finally figured out who had been doing it when his blonde frenemy plopped herself down, right next to him on the couch with a sigh. A little scoff and a wave her hand indicated that she judged his choice on the television program that was on. He, in return, rolled his eyes at her before his right arm reached behind her to rest on the back of the couch, indicating he was comfortable with her presence.

A few minutes had passed before she murmured, "I'm hungry" before he felt the brush of fingers on his thigh. Panicking, he pulled away, mind going in that direction. He cursed himself when he felt the weird, but not unfamiliar, stirring in his lower gut. And right when he was about to say that, as glad as he was for the offer, it was too fast, he saw a chocolate bar held up to her mouth, half bitten.

...The same bar that, along with the others of it's kind, had mysteriously appeared in his cargo pant pockets.

She gave him a questioning look as she took another bite and chewed slowly, eyes never leaving his.

"Uh," he was at a loss of words, "I just remembered I needed to do something."

He zoomed to his room, making sure he had the door locked. It would be embarrassing if someone were to walk in on him while he took care of his problem.

Kaldur

When Kaldur had reached behind to grab his water-bearers, he felt the strange material that had not been there before. But, of course, he could not stop to inspect it, for he was in the midst of a battle on a mission.

It was later when he finally had the time to take out his water-bearers to inspect the objects that were wrapped around the handles. Strange, they did not hinder his grip on them, in fact, they improved and lessened the slipperiness that often occurred when he held his weapons. They were no danger to him so he did not dwell on how they got there in the first place, deciding that, for now, he would keep them there.

About a week later, he finally figured out what they were. Artemis had been sparring with Conner under Black Canary's orders. Somehow, her hair tie broke, letting all that hair fall down in front of her face. Unlike their trainer, the girl had no experience in manipulating her hair in order to fight. It was everywhere, and she missed the punch that Conner had given to her...into her abdomen.

Everyone watched quietly as she crumpled to the floor, clutching her stomach in the process.

Black Canary stepped forward, "Maybe I should teach you how to-"

"No," Artemis wheezed, "I'm fine. I *gasp* I just need another hair tie is all."

She took a couple more breaths before standing up, and to Kaldur's surprise, started walking to the team leader. He blinked at her when she gave him a pained smile before she pointed at his water-bearers, before she plucked one of the grips and pulled it away from the handle, only to bind her hair up into a neat ponytail.

He shook his head at her when she gave him a smirk before she turned around to enter her sparring match again.

Robin

The extra arrow heads and foldable arrows that had appeared in his belt automatically had him guessing it was a certain blonde archer that had placed them there. He didn't even think about questioning on why they had gotten there, but more on the how.

He was pretty sure that Batman had installed a sensor that sent out a pulse that initiated an electrical shock on the person who did not know the code on how to remove it. Apparently, Artemis was a good hacker as well, not as good as him, but well enough to decode a Batcode.

Instead of being annoyed in the breach of personal stuff, he was highly amused and impressed with the new girl.

Conner

He had noticed the little items that Artemis had left with each of their teammates, yes even those things that the girls named tampons -whatever those were. There were strange feelings that swirled in his head each time he caught someone pulling out the objects with a smile before putting them back where they had gotten them.

It irked him a bit how he didn't get anything. Nope, he told himself often enough, he was not jealous. However, it had gotten bad enough that he barely held himself back whenever she walked past him or sat next to him at the counter. He wanted to shake her and yell in her face, how come she wasn't letting him hold her stuff like the rest of them.

When he opened his textbook for one of his classes, there was a small sticky note with neat, cursive sprawled across it.

What word does not belong in this list?

Oriole

Orange

Month

Oil

He blinked at it for a full two minutes, until he finally remembered that it was in Artemis' handwriting. It was a puzzle...a brainteaser.

A small smile appeared on his face as he took the note out of the book carefully before standing up to go find her and answer her riddle.

A/N: Brownie points to the person who can answer the riddle correctly. The word and reason have to both be right.

Hint: It's not what you think it is.
