"Why did you do that?" Artemis asks.
"Because I think we need an intervention," Dick says.
"I'm not an addict," Artemis starts getting angry.
"This intervention isn't for addiction, it's for destruction," Garfield says.
"The destruction he did to you, emotional abuse is really dangerous," Megan says.
"Okay," Artemis calms down.
"We are proud of you, you know that right?" Tim asks.
"I guess so," Artemis says.
"You shouldn't guess, you should know," Connor says.
"You are so strong," Garfield says.
"How am I strong?"
"Well, you didn't take the easy way out," Garfield says.
"You were strong enough to walk away," Dick says.
"Dick's right, you'd be amazed how much strength it takes for someone to walk away from their abuser," Megan says.
"You are amazing, one of the best heroes, it isn't going to be an easy road, but with our support you can make it through anything, as long as you accept the support, I learned that the hard way, don't push us away," Garfield says.
"You guys are always with me, how can I push you away?"
"He means emotionally, let us know how you feel because if you don't you will always feel alone," Megan says.
"Okay, yes the situation took me back but I don't know how it took me two steps back," Artemis says.
"Because Barb is a close friend and it feels like you betrayed her," Dick says.
"Exactly, but how did that take me back to feeling like I was back with Grant?"
"Same reason you went back when Dick freaked out, being yelled at when you didn't do anything wrong took you back," Tim says.
"Will he ever get out of my head?" Artemis looks down.
"With time, but we will help you get through it," Megan says.
"Megan is right, you have us, we are all just a call away," Connor says.
"I'm your sponsor so no matter what I'm doing I will stop when you call, well maybe not if I am sky diving," Garfield says.
Everyone, even Artemis, laughs.
"Thank you guys," Artemis says.
"Can Wendy come back now?" Dick asks.
"Yes, besides Brucely doesn't do well in the cold," Artemis says.
