Arc: 1 - Meeting The Team.
Chapter: 1 - First Day Being A Hero = First Day Of Happiness? (Part 1)

...

"I conjure up the thought of being gone, But I'd probably even do that wrong." Artemis Crock states, She is having yet another therapy session with the Black Canary. She didn't want to but Olli. A.K.A the "Green Arrow" Is making her go through at least 5 weeks of therapy before he lets her become A full time Hero like she wants. It's bullshit and he knows it, She's a good enough fighter to be a hero. And yeah she may have some issues but who doesn't? God knows Batman has his fare share.

Black Canary was left again speechless by the statement of the young girl in front of her, She has known the young girl for almost a full year now when Oliver first brought her into the Hero business stating that he show something special in her. And she has heard a lot about Artemis's past from Oliver and a little bit from Artemis herself when they are having their weakly therapy sessions. But it never ceases to amaze her how the young girl could hold such self hatred and could look at the world as such a broken thing that could never be fixed.

She knows teenagers sometimes take things to serioursly, And often go through little depressions. But never like this, Artemis is not just feeling this way because some petty reasons. Or because she's a teenager.

Black Canary can't help but fear what lays ahead of the young girl who is becoming a Hero today. She knows she is only supposed to have 5 weeks with Artemis and today is the last day of the agreement but she wishes Oliver would make Artemis wait longer and go through more therapy before sending her off to become A Hero and join the Young Justice League with a whole team of others that Artemis may and most likely will compare herself to.

"Why do you think of such things? Your so young and have so much you can still make of your life." She asks she already knows the answer but she hopes maybe she will get a different one then what she expects.

Artemis looks her right in the eye and states. "Because I have no right to live, And just like my family always said; I'm a fuck up who can't do the simplest of things right." She then looks at the clock on the wall behind the Canary seeing that she still has 15 minutes before she can leave, The thought makes her wish that she had never woken up today.

Black Canary can do nothing but shake her head at the answer, It's the same one she gets every time she ask Artemis why she feels the way she does about herself. She knows by the time the session is over she is going to need a drink.

And the next 15 minutes proved her right, Artemis kept everything locked up, No matter how much Canary tried to get her to open up about how she got to feel the way she does. Artemis would simple keep her mouth shut.

She wants so bad to be able to help the young girl, But it seems like all she can do is pray that one day Artemis will realize her worth and let go of all her pain and sorrow.

"So how did she do?" Oliver ask, As he drives them to the restaurant that they picked to go eat at. He spares A glance at his girlfriend and hopefully one day future wife, Dinah Lance. A.K.A The Black Canary. They have been going out for about 8 years now and he can't picture his life without her. But he has already grown attached to Artemis like a Daughter he's never had, He has only been with her for the short time of about a year and a half. But that doesn't mean he would not die for her. And that's why he had the most important person in his life Dinah watch over her and give her a talking to and maybe help her with her problems.

But looking at Dinah now he is wondering if that was a good idea, He knows Artemis's past is a very hard one. It is something he still can't think about for long without feeling sick and that's why he has ever only told Batman and his love Dinah. But maybe making Dinah hear more then even he knows was a bad idea because after every session she has with Artemis she begs him to take her out to some place nice with a nice wine selection. And this time is no different he just hopes before she gets to drunk she will answer a few of his questions about the session.

He wonders if Artemis has openned up a little more. He hopes so, She's so cold and closed off that it worries him about her joining the team. He can't tell his love about his unease, Because she would force him to stop Artemis from joining without more seasons.

Dinah has been looking out the window of the car since she got in, He knows she most likely has not heard a word he's said the entire ride to the restaurant and that he is probably going to have to get her a little drunk before she starts talking about it.

He's glad he brought his credit card, He has the feeling he's going to need it.

(15 Minutes and $1000 dollars worth of red wine latter.)

"So how did she do?" Oliver ask again, This time Dinah hears him and her once happy expression falls to something more like A frown but with the 4 bottles of red wine she has drink by herself she's already drunk. So her expression is not quiet A frown, More of a drunken smile and a frown mixed. If Oliver didn't want to know the answer to his question so bad he would have found the expression cute. Maybe he should take a picture for later?

"The same as when I first met her, Always in pain. Has more self hatred then Batman, Barely eating. Cutting from time to time, Can't look at a mirror without freaking out. Sarcastic, With A enough walls built around her emotions that Batman would be either proud of her or feel sympathy for her." Dinah says with a wave of her hand while wondering why her class is empty did she already drink it? She can't really remember maybe Olli took it from her? The bastard stealing her drink!

Oliver does not know how to response to that Artemis promised him that she had stop the cutting and was eating healthy and doing better, But that is not what Dinah is saying at all. He knows Dinah would never lie about something like this so that means that Artemis is lying to him and has gotten so good that he who has dealt with liars all his life can't even tell she's doing it anymore. He's going to have to have a talk to her about the cutting, He can't let her keep doing that to herself it's not healthy nor is it safe if she cuts just a little to deep she could bleed out and he would lose her. That's not something he ever wants to happen.

"I wish you would stop her from becoming a Hero for a little longer." Dinah said with A sad smile, She really cares for Artemis and she knows how much Oliver does if anything ever happened to her then both her and Oliver would go crazy it would be to much for either one of them to take. Even the thought makes her feel like crying, if she didn't have so much wine in her system then she most likely would be.

"I can't do that. You know that, This is the only thing she seems to care about if I take it from her who knows what that would do to her or make her do, Besides I think it's going to be good for her to meet people her own age who also want to be Hero's." Oliver stated he knows that Artemis is still not doing well but maybe that will change if she makes some good friends her own age, Who she can relate to a little and who will understand her more then he or Dinah can. He just hopes she opens up a bit so she can make those important friends.

"Besides Dicks going to be there and they have already formed a brother-sister relationship in the short time since they met at Bruce's." He finished hoping by reminding Dinah that Dick Grayson. A.K.A "Robin" will be there to not only keep a eye on Artemis but to help her if she ever needs him. Will help put her at ease. He knows she feels a little better with the reminder when he sees her frown lift up just a bit, It's not much but still better then it was before.

They end up talking about how Dick has been giving Batman a hard time recently about how Batman is being to much like a stalker, When it comes to tracking the Joker. And the Joker's Lady Harley Quinn. They laugh a little and drink more until both of them are feeling better about Artemis joining the Young Justice League.

They both end up so drunk that Batman has to come pick them both up, Which just makes them laugh harder at the fact that he had to stop a lead he was following on the where abouts of the Joker to come and pick them up, Batman was not pleased and made a mental note to make them both pay later.

Artemis takes a look in the mirror in her small room, It's the only mirror in the house that she has not broken, And the only reason it has not been smashed is because her mother gave it to her as a 14th birthday present when they didn't have much money. It's one of the only things she cares about.

What she sees staring back at her from the reflection is a stranger dressed in a green outfit, That matches Green Arrows. She likes it because who she is looking at is not Artemis Crock the scared and broken 16 year old. But instead Artemis the crime fighting young super Hero, Who is the side kick of the great Green Arrow. Instead of seeing her scared up arms, Legs, And chest. She sees green clothing covering all her ugly little imperfections.

She would be lying if she said she isn't nerves or scared of meeting all her new teammates and getting to know them, But she knows Dick will be there and that helps her keep her calm. At least someone who knows a little about her will be there, He doesn't know much just who her family is and that she has been through some shit. But it still helps knowing she doesn't have to hide herself from everyone on the team.

So taking one last look at herself in the mirror, She turns on her hill walking to the door. Hopefully if she dies they bury her in the outfit. So people can remember her as a fallen hero who lost her life protecting the weak, Rather then being one of the weak.

Making sure to grab her keys and bow on her way. Locking the door behind her. And setting the wire trap at her front door. You never know when dear old daddy will decide to pop up for a special training visit.

She heads for the Zeta Tube ignoring all the people on the streets she passes. She has one thing and one thing only on her mind. Becoming a hero today. It's finally time she gets to meet the team she's going to be on. Hopefully they aren't all stuck ups.

As she enters and leaves the Tube it says. "B07 ? Artemis" She can't help but smile. She's a hero now!

She takes a look around Mount Justice, And notices that there's a group of people about the same age as her all in costumes. Standing not to far away from her as if they were waiting on her. 'My team?' She thinks to herself before looking and seeing Batman walking towards her.

"Meet your new teammates." He says calmly walking closer to her. He's been asked by both Oliver and Dinah to keep a close eye on her and that's what he's going to do. Not because they asked but because he can't let someone like her fall to the darkness. The world doesn't need another Joker... Or Harley.

END Of chapter.
