Part 2

"Robin, can I talk to you for a minute please?"
"Sure," he replied, "we can go to my room."

The pair entered Robin's private room at the mountain, closing the lead-lined door behind them.
"So, what is it you'd like to talk to me about?"
Artemis swallowed nervously.
"I think," she said, cautiously, "that I know."
Robin looked slightly puzzled, "Know what?"
"It's you, isn't it?" she questioned, "It's you, Dick."

Robin's eyes widened in surprise and no doubt shock as well. Overcoming his feelings, he sighed, sending a small smirk in the blonde's direction
"I knew you would figure it out eventually, hanging around with me in both parts of my life. I just didn't think it would be so soon."
He shook his head slightly.
"Are you mad?"
"What? No! Of course not, just, surprised."
He sat down on the edge of the bed. Artemis sat beside him.

"There's something else I wanted to talk to you about," Artemis said, growing nervous again, "I'm not sure how to put it, but I," she paused slightly, "I, I like you Dick. Quite a lot, I think."
Dick stared at her through his mask, and Artemis had a sudden urge to peel it off so she could see his sapphire blues.

"You, you do ?"
Artemis nodded slowly. Dick's face spread into a warm smile.
"Good, 'cause I like you too, 'mis. A lot."
He took her hand in his and squeezed it gently. Artemis smiled at him as they leaned closer and their lips met.

Artemis swore she could feel the aster spreading through her veins.
