Author note: WOOOO FIRST ACTUAL CHAPTER
I'm excited for this book. I have tons of ideas for it, so if your reading this and do enjoy it, please please please vote and or add to your reading list.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
If you've read Regarding Robin (my other book) read this carefully... Artemis doesn't know Robin's ID. This takes place before RR and after Auld Acquaintance. It'll make sense... Enjoy my dudes.
P.S: for so,e reason there are some food references... Idk I was hungry.

The room rang with evil laughter; Joker.
The Clown Prince of Crime. His cackle made all of the young heroes cringe. They stood surrounded by at least 30-40 of the madman's goons, their faces held with determination. However, in their minds they were freaking out; Robin especially. He didn't want the team to see him weakness, considering his past experiences with the maniac. Let's just say he never put table salt on anymore of his foods, and cringed whenever someone mentioned a 'crowbar'.
"Well Birdie, Uncle J has missed you! Long time no see, it's been so boring in Gotham without you... Bats is always so serious." Joker cackled, a large crimson grin forming on his bleach-white face.
After receiving no reply from the young team of heroes, Joker spoke up again. "Why so serious junior Justice League? Let's put a smile on that pretty face of yours Boy Blunder... For old time's sake!" His large smile only growing wider by the second.
Apparently Joker had been brewing trouble on the outskirts of Gotham, and the Dark Knight was on an off-world mission so the team was required to track him down. The team was normally not allowed in Gotham; but Batman didn't want his protege taking on the villains by himself. Not because he didn't have the capability, but because the villains would notice that Bats was MIA and would use it to their advantage and torment the Boy Wonder.
After hearing Joker's odd and creepy comment towards Robin, she couldn't help but be curious. 'For old time's sake?' The curiosity was nearly eating away at the young archer's brain. Robin knew so much about the team's identities, but they knew barely anything about him. That only made Artemis more curious, and hungry for information; well, not hungry. 'Hungry sounds way too stalkerish.' The archer thought. The team had cleared up all the goons in a time span of around 20 minutes, which was plenty of time for the Joker to run off and escape; and he did just that.
Robin sighed in defeat as they headed back to the bioship. The rest of the team was disappointed that Joker had gotten away, but glad that they had successfully dismantled the goons which were all tied up at the warehouse they fought in, fresh n' ready for the GCPD. Robin yawned, his gloved hand moving up to his mouth. He was exhausted, and so was the rest of the team. Before tracking down the Joker, they had a mission in Mexico which had tired them out quite a bit. As all of the groggy-eyed teens sat slouched in the bioship, they were all left in their personal thoughts.

|The Next Day|
"Artemis? Artemis?" Bette Kane whispered to the tired archer, as the two sat next to each other in English class. Artemis was sitting slouched in her chair, head back, eyes closed, mouth watering. The teacher acknowledged that Artemis was taking a nap during his teaching, and rolled his eyes in annoyance. Bette tapped her shoulder a few times, tapping her shoulder harder each time, which eventually led the blue-eyed blonde to start slapping her shoulder.
WHACK
After a good slap to the shoulder, Artemis finally awoke to an irritated Bette, the teacher babbling in a monotone voice, and several students laying on the desks snoring. "Artemis... Mr. Berk is boring... I need someone to talk to." Bette complained slightly, trying not to be a disturbance. "Plus, you always come into school so tired. What's the deal?" She started once again, irritation lacing her normally sweet voice.
"Uhh...um- well you see..." Artemis stuttered, attempting to find a decent excuse. After she told her acquaintance that she had to babysit her neighbor's kids which an uneasy tone, Bette bought it anyways. She shrugged, grabbing her books as the bell rang, blonde curls bouncing. "I guess I'll see you at lunch then." Bette said with a small wave, and left the classroom followed by other students who were eager to get out of Mr. Berk's boring English class. The emerald archer followed soon after, her shoulders slumped.

|Lunch|
After English, Artemis went to French class. When the bell rang once more, the blonde tiredly headed to lunch, her mind out of sync. She trudged through the main hallway on her way to the lunchroom, and spotting the medium sized tv in the high wall, broadcasting a news report. Apparently, Batman and Robin had done something to save the day as usual, which snapped Artemis back into her thoughts from the night before; what was Robin hiding? Or even better; who the hell was this kid? Maybe he went to this school... Every time Artemis went straight from Gotham Academy to the telephone booth, she was instantly met which a smirking Boy Wonder, as if she had been with him only minutes before. It was a possibility... Right?
