Artemis clutched the letter in her hands again as she read the very stalkerish words yet again. For the past week, they wouldn't leave her mind, and she had poured out her thoughts of the subject into a song. It didn't have many words, but it got the point across. She inhaled and threw the crumpled paper into the fireplace, where it burned to ashes. (A/N Cue Burn from the Hamilton soundtrack, apparently 😂)
Artemis smirked as she watched the words shrivel. Feeling more self-confident, she pulled out the razor she had discreetly slipped into her sweatshirt pocket. It was the one she'd been cutting with for the last several months. She gritted her teeth, than snapped it half, throwing it into the trash. "That's where YOU belong, not me."
She changed into the black dress she was wearing for the performance, and was as always, grateful to Young Justice to learn new music quickly. Slipping out of her room, she tucked her hand into the crook of Wally's elbow.
After about two hours worth of songs, the music started up for a new one. People started noticing that they didn't know this song.
"I know I can't take one more step towards you. Cuz all that's waiting is regret. Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore? You lost the love I loved the most.
I learned to live, half alive. And now you want me one more time.
Who do you think you are? Runnin' 'round leaving scars. Collecting your jar of hearts. And tearing love apart. You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul. So don't come back for me. Who do you think you are?
I hear you're asking all around if I am anywhere to be found. But I have grown too strong to ever fall back in your arms.
I've learned to live, half alive. And now you want me one more time.
Who do you think you are? Runnin' 'round leaving scars. Collecting your jar of hearts. And tearing love apart. You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul. So don't come back for me. Who do you think you are?
It took so long just to feel alright. Remember how to put back the light in my eyes. I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed cuz you broke all your promises. And now you're back. You don't get to get me back!
Who do you think you are? Runnin' 'round leaving scars. Collecting your jar of hearts. And tearing love apart. You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul. Don't come back for me. Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are? Runnin' 'round leaving scars. Collecting your jar of hearts. Tearing love apart. You're gonna catch a cold from the ice inside your soul. Don't come back for me. Don't come back at all.
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?"
Applause broke out from the audience. There were plenty of cheers.
"You didn't think that was it, did you?!" Wally yelled. "Cut on the music, Rob!"
Dick grinned and started the music.
"Hold on, hear me out. Empty rooms can be so loud. I just wanna let you know I'm proud. I just wanna let you know I'm proud. Close your eyes, tune them out. You're right here, with me now. I just wanna let you know I'm proud. I just wanna let you know I'm proud.
I just wanna let you know I'm proud.
I just wanna let you know I'm proud. I just wanna let you know I'm proud.
I just wanna let you know I'm proud.
I just wanna let you know I'm proud.
Hold on, hear me out. Empty rooms can be so loud. I just wanna let you know I'm proud. I just wanna let you know I'm proud. Close your eyes, tune them out. You're right here, with me now. I just wanna let you know I'm proud. I just wanna let you know I'm proud.
I just wanna let you know I'm proud.
I just wanna let you know I'm proud.
I just wanna let you know I'm proud.
Hold on, hear me out. Empty rooms can be so loud. I just wanna let you know I'm proud. I just wanna let you know I'm proud. Close your eyes, tune them out. You're right here, with me now. I just wanna let you know I'm proud. I just wanna let you know I'm proud."
The whoops and whistles and applause were nearly deafening. Wally took a bow. "Thank you, thank you. See, Willow, told ya someone likes my singing!"
The audience laughed.
"Not my fault that they have terrible taste in music!" Willow yelled back. That got a mix of laughs and boos. "I am the wise and I speak for the wise, cuz you guys are stupid!"
"WILLOW IRIS-KATE WEST!" Mary yelled.
Willow- along with the audience and those onstage- laughed. "I thought I was supposed to tell the truth?"
"My idiotic sister has a point with that part Mom!" Wally said into his microphone.
"I can and will ground you both!"
Boos rang through the audience, covering up those who were still laughing. (A/N I'd be laughing and booing, lol)
"Alright, alright, Jeez!" Wally held up his hands in surrender. Artemis couldn't help but laugh.
