Poor Artemis

By: Lidi999

I DO NOT OWN YOUNG JUSTICE

She never asked for this you know.

Artemis slumped on her bed, tears streaming down her face. Today, the world had come crashing down on her shoulder.

She rubbed her eyes, but the tears were relentless.

The whole team thought she was the mole.

The mole!

Stupid mom, stupid dad, stupid sister, stupid Wally, stupid Green Arrow, stupid RED ARROW!

Artemis rolled over and pulled her quiver to her. She brushed her finger along the feathery end of an arrow.

You don't have to prove yourself. Wally had said.

She did! Stupid Red Arrow, stupid him! He quit, he could of had the spot on the team when it started, but no. He walked out. And now he comes back?

Cheshire smiles, "Hey sis." Jade.

Artemis grabbed her bow and shot a arrow, it hits a picture on the wall and the picture comes crashing down. Scattering the glass. The photo? Jade smiling her arms wrapped around Artemis. Artemis had hope her sister would come back one day. That day never came.

Jade, no Cheshire. Had escaped. Escaped, and like Red Arrow? How did the team not know he was the mole? Huh? Green Arrow probably told him everything that went on the team. Artemis grabbed the top of her mask and yanked.

Sportsmaster. Dad.

Why had he had to come to her room? He had always been a criminal. Why did Artemis stay with her dad that faithful day Jade fled.

Her mom.

Her mom took the blame, for her father's crimes. She loved him so much. She was locked away while Sportsmaster kept on robbing and stealing. Leaving Artemis alone.

Artemis threw her mask across the room, It was stupid. She wore it all the time around the team for one reason, one reason only.

So the day they ripped the mask off of Sportsmaster they wouldn't make the connection.

Wouldn't see the same shape cheeks and chin that pointed the same way. So they wouldn't see she had his eyes.

So she wouldn't be shamed.

No one wanted a criminal's daughter. Actually two criminal's daughter and one's sister.

RING!

Artemis grabbed her phone off the bedside table: Wally/Kid Flash. The screen read. Artemis shook her head and slammed her finger on the ignore button.

She thought the team was her family, a family she could trust. She should of known better. No one trusted her anymore.

She said up in bed and looked around, why did she even stay anymore? No one wanted her. Not even Green Arrow. She was a failure.

RING!

Artemis looked at her phone, M'gann it read. She hit the ignore button, she didn't want to talk to anyone.

She slid her feet off the bed and stood up and walked to the window. Sitting on the ledge there was picture. Artemis grabbed it. Ripped open the window and threw it as hard as she could, it hit the road below with a satisfying crash. And a few seconds later a truck came and ran it over.

The picture fluttered under the tire and Artemis felt more tears. That picture was of the team. Conner had his arm wrapped around M'gann. Robin and Zatanna were laughing at each other. Wally was sticking out his tongue at the camera and Aqua Lad was serious and only slightly smiling. And in the middle of everyone was Artemis, smiling big.

That's when they had been friends.

Before Sportsmaster had shoved a wall between them with a mole. A mole. Really Dad?

Artemis sighed and threw one leg out the window. And then another. She sat on the ledge and stared out.

The mole would have to be one of the original kids, not like Zatanna she had shown up to late.

But who?

Artemis loved her team.

Kid Flash, Robin, Super Boy, Miss. Martian, Aqua Lad and Her.

All of them were devoted to the team.

Would any of them be feeding information to the bad guys?

Or had Sportsmaster lied? To wedge a wall between the team members. If that was his goal, he had won. Artemis was hated by the team.

Artemis shook her head.

Artemis? Are you okay?

Fine. Why do you care? Go away Megan.

Artemis-

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

It fell silent and Artemis sighed, she grabbed her quiver and stood up on the ledge. She was going.

She was about to grab on the fire ladder when she remember, she turned and jumped back into her room. She grabbed her mask off the floor and slid it over her head. The she jumped back to the window threw her legs out and jumped to the fire ladder.

In the next second she was on the roof of the third building down.

And then,

Artemis Crock was gone into the sunset. Leaving no clues for where she might be going.

Goodbye.

Author's Note: I don't think there is a mole, or if there is it could be any of them! Super Boy has some of Lex Luther's DNA. Miss. Martian is that creepy monster thing. And remember that lady came to her and said if you don't help me I'll relive your really identity to your team and your boyfriend. Who will like you then? So... and now Artemis' dad is like come to our side. So GAH!

If there is going to be a mole, they need to hurry up and get to it.
