The Key to it All (Newt)

Attacked

*TW: attempted assault + harassment*

"Why don't you take off that towel? Bet something real good is under it." A voice came from behind Artemis as she stepped out of the shower in the communal bathroom. 

She turned around with a glare on her face. She couldn't remember his name, but he was the same idiot who had been staring at her in the beginning and making disgusting comments. "Just a few extra limbs." She replied with a "sweet" smile on her face. The eyes are the window to the soul, and they were showing murder. 

"Sassy" The boy said with a smirk. "I like that."

Artemis scoffed. "I thought you didn't have any memories. How the hell would you know what you liked?" Artemis tried to sound tough, to play it off, but she was terrified. She couldn't just scream for help, but something was off here.

"Well, I don't remember. But you're sassy. And I know I like you." The boy said, taking a step closer.

It was obvious what was going to happen next, and Artemis needed to stop it. She had a plan. It was a bad one, probably, but she was under increasing pressure and her fight or flight response stopped any rational thought from forming. 

"Do you really want to see what's under here?" Artemis asked, keeping her voice even. This time it was her moving closer.

The grin on the boys face grew larger. "Oh yeah"

"Then take a good look, fuck-face" Artemis dropped her towel, shocking the boy. He was too enthralled with the sight of a naked body that he didn't register Artemis punching him in the face until it was too late. As his hands flew up to his face, Artemis took the opportunity to knee him in the balls. When he doubled over in pain, she pushed him into the wall and held him that.

"Don't you ever try that shit again, 'kay? Cause next time you do, I'll claw your fucking eyes out with my fingers." Artemis threatened. His nose was already fucked up. Artemis remembered punching him before. 

She turned to walk away, never wanting to come near this creep again. She picked her towel off the ground, bending over to get it. 

"Bent over from the back. My favorite." The boy called out.

Artemis had never been so angry in her life. How dare he even fucking try her like this. Towel or not, this man was going to die. She told him she'd claw his fucking eyes out, and she meant it. Turning around, Artemis launched herself at him. Once again, the boy was unprepared for the ferocity with which Artemis attacked him, and Artemis was able to knock him to the ground. She pounded into his face, making it a bloody mess. 

"YOU! FUCKING. ANIMAL" She screamed. Once she was satisfied with his face beating, she tried to pry his eyes open. At least she could blind him.

He was trying desperately to prevent Artemis from scratching his eyes out, but they always say if you want it more, then you'll have a better chance of winning. And Artemis wanted to see him blind a hell of a lot more than he did. He kept screaming for help, and Artemis didn't give a shit. She had warned him, and that was all she needed to know she was in the right. 

The commotion had grabbed Newt's attention. He burst through the door to see Artemis beating up one of the people that had come up in the box with him. It was a gross sight, the boy's face, the floor, and Artemis was covered in blood. The boy was screaming, and Artemis looked ready to kill him. 

"Artemis!" He cried. "What the-" Newt had to act, seeing how angry Artemis was. The boy could possibly be killed. Newt had to stop her, so he tackled Artemis off of the boy. 

"What are you doing that for! Let me at him! I swear I'll bloody kill him!" Artemis cried, trying to get Newt off of her.

"Artemis calm down. You can't-" At this Newt opened his eyes and tried, tried, to look Artemis in the eyes, but noticed that the force of the tackle had knocked her towel loose, and she was currently naked under him. "You-You" Newt looked away quickly.
