I own nada. :|
"I can't believe you actually saved this." Artemis dragged her fingers over the familiar green fabric before looking back at her old friend.
He offered a shrug in response. "It might be full of bad memories, but it had some good ones too. Besides, I highly doubt you want to be seen helping people in your "Tigress" outfit."
She looked away, the guilt and shame coming back and re-opening wounds in her heart. "But Artemis is dead, remember?"
The boy wonder placed a hand on her shoulder, giving her an encouraging smile. "Well, she's about to make a magnificent comeback." Without another word, he turned and left the room.
The blonde looked away from the door as it shut and back at her clothes. A sigh escaped her lips. "Too many bad memories, not enough good ones."
But she wasn't going to let that bother her, instead she did what she had to do. She put her old costume back on and let the memories flood back.
Everyone stood in the room as they waited for her to return. And when she did come back, they all stared at her for a second. Memories did come flooding back, for all of them.
She looked just like they remembered, all except for the bow. Her hands were empty and her quiver wasn't on her back but that could easily be fixed.
"Here." Roy walked up to her and handed her said bow and quiver. "Don't ask how I got them back."
Wally looked at him with an unreadable expression on his face. "You look… nice."
"Thanks." She replied coyly, giving him and Jinx a small glance.
"Welcome back, Artemis." M'gann piped up, walking over and giving the girl a hug – one that Artemis gladly returned.
"Nice outfit, ponytail." Kara muttered sarcastically.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize you only approved of skirts and other ass showing wardrobe." Artemis retorted.
The kryptonian shrugged. "At least I have an ass to show."
"Girls, you're both pretty. Now stop arguing." Jinx spoke up with arms crossed.
"I can't work with her." Kara growled.
Artemis crossed her arms. "At least we agree on something."
"Either you work together or the world ends, so shut your mouths and get along for once!" Raquel hissed in annoyance.
"Fine."
"Whatever."
Virgil face-palmed and quickly placed an arm on his friend's shoulder, preventing her from attacking either of the other women. "She's right, we all just have to get along until this is over. Okay? Then we can all go our separate ways."
"Because that turned out so well last time, didn't it?" Batgirl remarked sarcastically.
"Enough." Robin snapped. "We're here to get something done, if you can't swallow your pride long enough to get said thing done then the door is right there." None of them moved, much to his approval.
"What do we do first?" Beast boy spoke up.
"We have to wait until they attack." He replied emotionlessly. "That's all we can do for now."
Not a second later did the alarm sound. "Speaking of attacks…"
"Everyone, move out!" No one put up any argument as they all exited the tower.
"Worht taht rac ta eht seoreh."
"Get down!" Everyone did as ordered as a car flew towards them at incredible speeds, only missing them by inches.
"Holy crap…" Kid muttered as he saw who it was that had done that.
"Permission to attack?" Jinx asked, glancing over at Robin from her spot behind a piece of rubble.
"Granted, just be careful." He ordered sternly.
"No promises." She muttered as she jumped out and bombarded the magician girl with hex after hex, none of them proving affective against her.
Just as Wally was about to rush over to assist her, a blast of ice caught him in the legs – successfully distracting him long enough for the ice villain to send a blow to his face and make him fall backwards. "Hello, Flash Junior."
"Icicle." The boy growled as he stared up at the teen.
Said villain grinned. "You remember me? Shocking."
"That's exactly what I was going to say." A voice shouted from above, making the teen turn around just in time to be hit with a jolt of electricity strong enough to throw him back a couple yards.
Wally quickly used this distraction to vibrate his molecules out of the ice. "Thanks, Static." He yelled up at the teen before running off to help.
He stopped when he saw Artemis fighting Shimmer without her bow, both of them only using hand to hand combat. The redhead quickly took the fact that Shimmer's back was to him to rush over and pin her arms to her back, giving the blonde an opportunity to punch the other girl in the face an successfully knock her out for the time being. "One down." She muttered before picking up her bow again and returning to the fight.
Yards away stood Kyd Wykkyd, trapped by Rocket in one of her inertia bubbles. She watched from above as he tried to break free from the bubble to no avail. Her smirk vanished as she realized he was suddenly gone. "What the…?"
The mute member of the Hive Five suddenly appeared above her and while she was distracted, caused her to fall from the sky immediately. She groaned as she fell on her back, glaring up at the other teen as he stood in front of her. "You're going to pay for that you little b-" She stopped talking as he disappeared once again, quickly getting to her feet.
Her eyes widened as she saw Mammoth jump down from one of the buildings, he was going to squash her! On impulse, she quickly pulled her hands up and created a inertia field around him. He hovered feet above, trying to smash the bubble to no avail.
Finally, she grew tired of his struggle and opted to knock him out with the bubble; once he was unconscious letting him crash to the ground. She winced in sympathy before taking to the skies again to search for the other nuisance.
"Worht eht lrig ffo reh teef!"
Jinx yelped in surprise as an unseen force caused her to fall flat on her face. "That's it!" She growled, sitting up and throwing a hex at one of the street lamps. The thing fell on top of Zatanna and pinned her down successfully.
Before the magician had a chance to recite another spell the, the pink haired sorceress ran over and ripped off her already ruined sleeve. Her protests were muffled as the fabric was placed around her mouth.
"Jinx!" Wally yelled as he rushed over to them. "Whoa… you actually got her…"
"It comes as a shock to you?" The others also came over as soon as they had their enemies down for the count, all of them in shock as they noticed her.
"Zatanna?!" Kara and Donna yelled simultaneously, looking down at the girl.
Robin sighed and turned to them all. "Let's get her back to the Tower and the others to jail as soon as possible."
Um, so... review..? .-.
