The Team watched Artemis warily as she lowered herself to the ground. There was a silent pause as she collected herself

"Hurry up," snarled Connor.

"Calm down, I'm getting there." She replied wearily, but her voice had some of her old annoyance and snark. Her audience remained silent and she cleared her throat.

"Ok. So Sportsmaster is a long term enemy of Green Arrow. He works with the League of Assassins and he's bested Arrow on multiple occasions. This caused a ton of hurt feelings and egos."

"So?" Wally said aggresively. Artemis silenced him with a look and continued as if uninterrupted.

"Here's where I come in. Having... past experiences with Sportsmaster, Oliver asked me to find anything and everything I could on the villian. He wanted this to remain between the two of us, because... well, you see how you reacted. Besides, Batman would of said it was Green Arrow's responsibility- despite, I'm sure, having done the same thing with Robin."

Said bird shifted uncomfortably a the mention of his name.

"So there's why I've been sneaking out for the past two weeks and there's why I didn't tell you. I'm sorry."

The following silence was excrutiating for the archer. She knew that her teammates were discussing the situation through the mind link , and the lack of confirmation was frustrating. Finally, someone spoke up. Zatanna.

"Is Green Arrow's real name Oliver?!" She exclaimed.

Everyone stared at the magician.

"Hello Megan! Zatanna's the only one on the Team who doesn't know who Green Arrow is." M'gaan said, saying what everyone already knew.

"No shit, Shelock." Someone muttered, probably Robin.

"Hey, guys? Concentrate?" Called Artemis, snapping her fingers.

"I'm calling Green Arrow now." Alerted Robin. Everyone crowded around the bird as dial tones came from his holowatch.

"Hi, Robin. Is there a problem?" Oliver Queen's deep voice came out from the device. Artemis spoke up before Robin could respond.

"Hey, Ollie. They found out about my mission. " She said, her voice exhausted and annoyed. The person on the other side was silent for a moment.

"Well, shit."

"Yup."

"How'd they take it?"

"Exactly how I said they would."

"Ah. How are you?"

"Fine. A little annoyed I couldn't tell them, and I blame you for that, but fine." Artemis joked. As the mentor and the protege talked, the Team shared glances and continued the conversation in their minds.

"C'mon guys, she had a classified mission, it makes sense that she couldn't let us in on it." Robin argued.
