Here is my take on a much needed crossover.
Enjoy ^_^
Gotham Academy:
Artemis POV:
I am finally drawing near to the end of my sophomore year at Gotham Academy. Over the year I have made a whopping total of three friends:
First there is Barbara Gordon, my fellow sophomore girl. She is like me in that she is not filthy rich because she is the Commissioner's daughter. And I know you can't get rich off of a police salary (not legally anyway). Babs is pretty cool; she is really smart even though she has dyslexia and ADHD like me (I bet you didn't know that). The only downside is that Babs comes in a package.
This brings me to my second friend, the annoying freshman, Dick Grayson. He and Babs come as a unit; you will never find one without the other. He has dyslexia and ADHD like Babs and I, yet he still managed to skip a grade. How you might ask, I have no idea. I guess he's okay, but still really annoying. It turns out he was the one who trolled me on the first day of school! At least he's not all snobby like the rest of the kids at school, even though he is the ward of the Bruce Wayne, Dick is not spoiled. I guess it is because he was raised in a circus and his parents were murdered.
And it seems our band of charity cases with ADHD and dyslexia attracts other charity cases with ADHD and dyslexia, bringing me to my final friend, Nico di Angelo. I honestly have no idea how he got into this school. He fits in even less than I do, and that is saying something considering my dad and my sister are top assassins for league of shadows. Nico is freshman like Dick and is honestly pretty weird. But he doesn't pry into your personal life and is always there when you need a friend.
Together we form the band of misfits, surviving high school one step at a time.
As a fifteen year old superhero with a shady past, I thought I had seen it all. I thought nothing could scare me anymore, but the universe decided to prove me wrong.
My world started to spin out of control when I entered the cafeteria for lunch on the last day of school.
I was smiling because I had just come from a test that I actually think I did well on. The test was on Greek Mythology, one of my favorite subjects. When I was younger I would always look stories about the Greek Goddess Artemis. As a little kid with big family problems it was an escape to read about someone else named Artemis. I would pretend I was her, the legendary maiden goddess of the moon and the hunt, and that I could be brave and strong just like her.
"Hey Crock! Why so smug!" Oh great it's the school bullies again. Mark and his gang seem to think it is their job to pick on me and my friends. "Are you happy that you're robbing money from Wayne to attend this school? Or has your cripple mother finally bit the dust?"
"Why you little..." I started. I want to tear that guy to shreds. Who does he think he is bashing on my mother like that!
"Hold on Artemis, they're not worth it. You only have to survive one more class period then we're home free! Think you can handle it?" Babs comes up behind me to stop a detention earning fight.
"Yeah, let's go, and leave these simple mined jerks to their simple minded games." I reply turning around to leave the cafeteria. "You coming? Dick? Nico?"
"We're coming!" Dick and Nico chorused. It's scary sometimes, how alike they are, almost like they are related or something.
So, the four of us head outside to leave behind those jerks. Now on a lucky day, the Mark and his gang are too lazy to follow us outside. But today, we have no such luck.
"Hey Crock! I was talking to you!" Mark yells.
"What do you want?" Can't these guys just leave me alone! By this time we had cleared the building leaving just our band of misfits and Mark's crew.
"You!" Mark snarls back.
"What do mean 'you'?" I ask. This is getting kind of creepy.
"You and your friends will make tasty snacks" Mark snarls again, only this time he and his gang are transforming into Cyclopes! Crap my bow is in my locker! What are we going to do!
"Stand back!" commanded a voice behind me. I turn around to see Nico pulling out a black sword and facing the monsters. Woah, wait a sword, where the heck did he get a sword!
"Nico what are you doing, you can't take on all those Cyclopes by yourself!" I yell back.
"Well I can try. Hang on you can see the Cyclopes?" Nico asks.
"Of course I can see them! Do you think I'm blind!" Come on Nico, do you really think I'm that unobservant that I can't see seven giant Cyclopes standing in front of me!
"I can see them too!" Dick suddenly chimes in.
"Yeah, Nico they're standing right there! And where did you get a sword!" Babs quickly follows.
"Oh, this is so not good. You can all see the Cyclopes and my sword?" Nico asks, still facing the Cyclopes.
"Duh!" We all yell back.
"Okay, then quick, grab my hand and don't let go! I hope you're not afraid of the dark."
And with that my world faded into darkness as my friends and I spiraled into the shadows.
I hope you liked it!
