Hello strangers, I'm back the writer who takes a long time to update. I think some of you are really mad at me, but I had to develop a plan for this story. I have a plot for it, but it's really long and I am going to have to cut the story in half. I will put the rest into a different story format, though. Anyway thanks for the reviews and enjoy.
M'gann was the last to wake up from the simulation, the thought of her uncle killing her was to o overwhelming. So there she was in the metal bed gasping for air trying to remember what actually happened. "Your all alive, but who." M'gann instantly felt mixed emotions anger, happiness, confusion, and relief. "Try to remember M'gann, this wasn't real none of it was." Batman then came to Robin's side to see if he was okay, "You were sent into a training exercise, Manhunter linked you all up within an artificial reality. You all knew this going in and that no matter how hard you tried the situation would get worse." Martian Manhunter continued Batman's speech, "That is why you hardly grieved, even when the entire Justice League failed, but that all changed when Artemis died." They would have all turned to where Artemis would have been laying, but she was gone. "Where's Artemis?" Wally the first to speak up his voice holding a little desperation. "She is currently in the Med Bay prepped for surgery."
"Why what happened to her?" M'gann the next person to ask about her well-being. "You should know M'gann; your subconscious mind couldn't handle the fact that she was gone. So you made sure she was." All heads turned to M'gann who was currently sobbing into Captain Marvel, "You killed her, who could you." Wally got up, but was currently stopped by Conner. "It wasn't her fault so sit back down." His glare was now directed to Batman, "Take us to her."

"Dinah I don't think the simulation is a good idea, they are just kids." The couple was currently eating lunch out on the patio. "When I was a kid my mother left me in the forest to fend for myself." She took another bite of her salad and Oliver glared at her. "She shouldn't have too." Dinah grabbed her husband's hand, "You can't cripple her Ollie she needs to learn, she's not your baby girl anymore." Oliver looked at her with her mouth open, "You shut your mouth, she will always be my little girl and I will protect her from all the forces of evil."
"Dork", she let go of his hand and continued eating. He was about to respond when his phone rang. His face went white and he quickly left the table and dropped everything in his process. "Artemis is in the Med Bay, let's go." His face went serious and refuses to look at anything, but the road. "Oliver stop there is nothing you can do so stop driving like you're mad at everything." Oliver looked at Dinah and sighed, "I could've prevented her from going, but no she has to learn doesn't she." She was astonished by his reaction, "So it's my fault, Oliver."
"No it's mine I promised I would protect her from everything; and I can't even save her from a fake simulation." Her gaze softens, "You can't control everything that happens to her, she knows that." He lets out a long sigh and grabs her hand. "You really do have all the answers don't you." They make it to the zeta tubes and are immediately greeted by the blinding yellow light.

They were all in the waiting room waiting for any news, when two blondes come in. "Who are you?" Conner looked at the pair and raised his eyebrows. Dinah looked at the group of kids and frowned. M'gann was hysterically crying into Conner's shirt, Robin was looking at his shoes and Kaldur had his head in his hands. Wally was probably in the worst condition out of them all, his hands were shaking and he was just looking at the door as if it was somehow going to change this predicament. "I'm Artemis's mother and this is my husband. What's wrong with Artemis?"
M'gann's sobs got louder and refused to look up at them. No one had the heart to tell the couple what happened to their beloved child, so Kaldur stepped in. "Artemis had some difficulty during our training simulation and has…" Kaldur got cut off by Martian Manhunter who just entered the room. Oliver pushed everyone to get to the Martian leaving a disoriented Boy Wonder.
"Is she okay?"
"Can we see her?"
"Is it permanent damage?"
"Oliver let him talk before you tell him all your questions?" Dinah helped Robin from the floor that just looked confused. "Thank you, she is fine we stopped M'gann's subconscious before it made any real damage to her brain. It was mostly shock, but she was too stubborn to actually let M'gann in." Oliver smirked at the thought of her daughter being too stubborn to actually let anyone enter her mind. "When she awakes she will have a minor concussion and a severe headache. Her body is very frail at the moment, it needs to regain strength." He goes through the doors, leaving frazzled heroes behind.
They all let out a sigh of relief when they heard the news. M'gann loud sobs turned into quite sniffles, and Conner's shirt was completely soaked. Everyone's face seemed to soften once again, rather than the tightened jaws or the fear that each held in their eyes. They all fell into an awkward silence that no one was quite ready to break yet.

"Recognized The Question 18"
Oliver's eyes went wide when he heard the computer announce the arrival of his sister. "Oliver where the hell are you?"
"Helena keep your voice down, this isn't the time." Victor was received by a glare from the infamous Helena.
"Don't tell me what to do Victor, she is hurt and I didn't know about it." They made it to their destination and Helena tackled Oliver. "Why the hell did you make her do it." Oliver pushed her off to regain his manhood, which he lost from being tackled by his younger sister. "Okay number one the only reason you tackled me was because I wasn't ready, and I didn't make her do it."
"Weren't you the one worrying about her safety a few weeks ago?" Oliver looked at her harshly, "She wanted to do it Helena, and she's fine."
"Why didn't you call me when it happened?" Victor picked her up from the floor, but she refused to look at him. "Sorry you weren't my main priority, the well being of my daughter was." She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms like an impatient child, "Well alert me next time, so I won't have to tackle you."
"Aww was Helena worried, for Arty." Huntress growled at Dinah, but held on to Victor's hand tighter. Oliver continued, "She really is fine tiger." She smirked,"You haven't called me that in years Rapunzel." A few chuckles were heard in the background, "It was because my hair was blonde."
"Sure Rapunzel."Dinah started to turn red from the laughter and soon even Conner smiled a bit. Oliver pouted the entire time, making them laugh even more. "Okay funs over do you want to call your sister now." Dinah immediately stopped, "No if I tell my sister she will tell my mom and then I will never hear the end of it." Victor then spoke up, "She already knows."
"Who does she know Victor?" Dinah asked. "She marked it on her calendar and then threw it away." Everyone's eyes were on him know, "You looked through her trash." Conner looked at him puzzled. "Please, I look through everyone's trash." Dinah raised her eyebrows, but immediately blocked the image, "So she's coming." Out of nowhere you could hear heels clicking on the floor not too far away, and then it all came to a halt. "No, they are here."
