Robin just grinned at her mischievously and ran off after KF without a word. Artemis just rolled her eyes and sat down on the couch heavily, going over what he'd said to her. He'd looked so guilty and remorseful that it had taken a surprising amount of will power not to interrupt him and assure him that she was fine. What surprised her the most, however, was that he said all of that in perfect Vietnamese...How did he know how to speak her native language?...How did he know it was her native language?! Did he know her identity? How could he? But then, he was the protege of Batman...
Artemis was so lost in thought that it took Megan yelling "COOKIES!!" almost in her ear for her to snap out of it. She shook her head as if to clear it and wandered into the kitchen, where the others were now gathered. Sitting between Megan and Kaldur, Artemis joined the conversation about what would happen tomorrow:
"So... I get that we're doing weapons and projectiles, but what's going first?" Wally was asking Robin. The 13-year-old responded with a simple,
"Weapons first with me and then projectiles with Artemis mainly, but I'll step in near the end and show you how to throw Batarangs if we have time." Wally nodded his head and looked across at Artemis, he seemed to be internally debating something until nodding to himself and asking, "How long have you been learning to shoot?"
"...and why do you want to know that, Baywatch?" Artemis replied in a tone that earned him to choose his next words wisely, as they may be his last.
"Just...curious..." He said tentatively.
The team kept eating in silence for a couple of minutes before that was broken by Robin rising and saying,"well, I have patrol in an hour so I'm going to head off, I'd advise you don't stay up too long, because if you thought today was rough... Good luck tomorrow!" With his signature cackle he disappeared into thin air until they heard the Zeta Beams announce his leave.
Artemis realised that she never asked him about the whole Vietnamese thing... Oh well, that will just have to happen tomorrow.
