This is my first story, sorry if it is not very good.

IMORTANT INFORATION! MUST READ TO MAKE SENCE: In my story Artemis is really GA's niece

I do not own YJ

-Break line-10 pm-

Megan and Conner are off on a date, Rob and Zatana are out on their own date, Kaldur is taking a trip to Atlantis for the day, Artemis is asleep in her room at the cave, and Wally was finishing of Megan's latest batch of cookies.

-Wally-

"Aww, man" Wally had just finished the last cookie, and when I say finished I mean inhaled. I need more food, maybe I'll go get a pizza or two... maybe 5. He went to change out of his PJs.

He had to take a different route back to get to the zetas. It wasn't until he past her door that he remembered the slumbering archer. She had stayed the night because… well she didn't say so everyone knew it had something to do with her family. The only time she would ever say anything about them was when it involved her uncle. But she couldn't live with him, Roy would have mentioned her. So she must have someone else in her family. She'll hate me for waking her … PERFECT!

When he opened the door he didn't expect to see the archer tossing and turning. As he got closer he realized she was mumbling and because of the words he could hear he didn't think it was a dream about bunnies. It looks like she is having a nightmare. He, not even thinking, sped over to her. "Artemis, wake up, you're having a nightmare." he was shaking her to wake up when her arm shot up at him hitting him in his eye "Gah!"

-Artemis-

"Oh, I'm so sor-" her apologetic face turned angry when she saw who exactly it was she had hit "What are you doing in here wally?" She wasn't mad, not really, she was actually glad he had woken her because the nightmare was a pretty bad one. But he had seen her having the nightmare which would ruin her 'nothing scares me' image she was put up for everyone.

"I was going to go get a pizza, came to see if you wanted a slice after skipping dinner, but you were having a nightmare. I am sorry, but I thought it would be rude to leave someone while they were having a nightmare!" He yelled angrily at her, annoyed that even after trying to be nice by waking her, she was yelling at him.

"Wally, I'm fine." she said with less anger than before. He was going to offer to share food! Who is this and where is Wally? It was when she stood up on the opposite side of her bed, her hair falling in front of her shoulders that he saw them, cuts and bruises.

She was wearing a tank top and a pair of sleep shorts so it was easy for him to see them. And there were a lot, all ranging from different sizes and colors. Some were fresh, too fresh.

-Wally-

How could she still have bruises? Our last mission was ages ago that even a person that healed at a SLOW speed should have healed by now. But what does that mean? Come on Wallman you're a genius. Think of everything you know about her. She is snarky and has GA as her uncle. OH and that nightmare! Ok so, bruises + nightmares = … no, it couldn't be! Could it? "Artemis, are you being abused?" He questioned in as sweet of a voice he could make, hoping to not close her off from answering truthfully. That caught her off-guard.

"What? What would make you even think that?!" She said quickly, too quickly.

God she is stubborn, she WILL tell me and I will kill who ever dares hurt her … not that I like her! She is my teammate! Even if I hate her, no one hurts any of my teammates and gets away with it, NO ONE! Now how to make her tell me? Oh, I know! "Artemis, tell me now or I will tell the team. I think I can convince Megan to go into your mind to find the truth if it means helping her Earth sister. You know what? Don't tell me! Megan reading your mind means I will get the truth! The whole truth and nothing but the truth." He started to leave at normal speed giving Artemis a chance to realize that telling him was her best option. Which she did. She grabbed his arm, shoved him on the bed, slammed the door closed, and turned the lights on.

"Fine, but you cannot tell the team anything. Understand?" he nodded "OK, so my dad is abusive, that you know, but what you don't know is the history of my family. My mother was kidnapped and murdered when I was three. This made him a little testy, easy to get angry. He would yell at us then apologies the next day by taking us out for ice cream."

Wally interrupted "Us?"

"I had a sister." She started to explain.

"Had?" he question quiriously.

She sighed and glared, sending the message to stop interrupting "she ran away two years later. That when he started 'training' me. It wasn't till I joined the team that I realized that it was really him being abusive. Now I don't sleep without having nightmares all night. They've gotten worse lately." As she got towards the end she started to get emotional and when she was done she actually started to cry. Wally just held her trying to comfort the girl who never let anyone in at all, and just told him everything. That's how they fell asleep.
