Chapter One-
MOUNT JUSTICE
17:23 EDT November 6,
"Recognized, Artemis. B-07." the computers voice announced the arrival of the young archer.
"I can not wait to see what Black Canary does to her for missing training! Ow Robin!" Wally protested to the Boy Wonder's slap.
"Uh-oh." Artemis muttered at the sight of the entire Team and Black Canary waiting at the zeta-tubes.
"Um, did I miss something?" she asked.
"Training Practice." Wally said. "And you are in sooo much trouble- ow! Quit it!" the Boy Wonder hit the young speedster again.
"Training Practice, but that isn't for another hour." Artemis said, glancing at her watch.
"Daylight savings." Canary said.
Artemis looked up and groaned. "I knew I was forgetting something besides my math homework!"
"Come with me." Canary said.
"Ooh! Ooh! What're you going to do to her?" Wally asked.
"She gets to work with my team." Canary said, with a smile on her face. Artemis stuck his tongue out at him.
"Aw man, she gets to work with the Justice League? No fair!" Wally whined.
"No, my other team." Canary said.
"Other team?" Wally asked.

"Welcome," Canary said. "To the headquarters of the Birds of Prey."
Artemis looked in amazement at the large room in front of her. Computers lined one wall while statues and pictures of heroes lined the other wall.
One figure strode into the room that Artemis had not expected to see.
"Barbara?" she asked, walking down the stairs with Canary.
"Artemis." Barbara said with a grin.
"What are you doing here?" Artemis asked.
"At school I go by Barbara Gordon, Commissioner's kid. Here, I go by-" the red-head pulled her mask on. "-Batgirl!"
Canary rolled her eyes. "Always for the theatrics, aren't you?"
"Yep," Barbara said, pulling her mask off. "So, what's Artemis doing here?"
"She missed training, so she's going to help us today." Canary replied.
Three more women walked into the room. Artemis instantly recognized them all.
"Huntress, Poison Ivy, Starling." she said. "Wow, I never thought I would actually get to see them face to face." Artemis said.
"Fan?" Canary asked.
"That's an understatement." Barbara muttered.
"Who's this?" Huntress asked.
"Artemis, she is a member of the Team. She'll be helping us today." Canary explained.
Artemis shook hands with the heroes.
"Now then, how about a little practice?" Canary said.
"Negative on that, Dinah." Barbara said, checking a computer. "Trouble downtown. Looks like Black Adam and the Joker."
"But we put those guys behind bars!" Artemis protested.
"They don't stay behind bars for long." Barbara replied.
"What're they doing?" Starlight asked.
"What they do best," Barbara said, pulling her mask on. "Blowing things up and causing havoc."

I watch you stand,
You enjoy,
You spinn my head,
I know your name, Roy.
You cant hide,
I will find you,
A guy like you, should wear a warning.
I can see you now,
I can see you there,
Watching me,
But maybe, i dont care.
Your red hair,
Your eyes i can watch,
You love me,
Kick it up a notch?
Babe you cant have me,
I like to play hard to get,
You cant catch me,
I'll take my chance, its a bet.
I slip through you fingers everytime,
I kiss your lips,
I run through your hair,
With my finger tips.
And as my tohuge touched you,
I stood on the ledge, and fell back,
You try to catch,
But i slipp through.
Your face is stone cold,
But i know your mourning,
A guy like you,
Should wear a warning.

I'm standing, i'm hiding,
You can't see me, invisible,
But i'm fighting.
I'm fighting on the inside,
I'm fighting with my heart,
You see me, whole,
But I know,
I'm falling, falling,
Apart.
Memories are going,
We are fighting, on the rooftop,
Close to falling, way up high,
Our silhouettes, shadows for,
The night sky.
You're tired, as am I
But one must win,
We won't give up,
Fighting, in pain, I
must end,
Now cry.
You've won, that's fine,
But you take pity, forget the fight,
You helped me, you saved me,
Gave me my light.
