CATGIRL'S POV

'Fail:Artemis'

  The computer sounds as Artemis falls to the ground.

  I stay in my stance and look at her, smirking slight.

  "Guh, good job." She groans and gets up, "but was that last kick really necessary?"

  I laugh and nod, "Yup," I say, placing my hands on my hips.

  She rolls her eyes and then looks to the only two people in the main room this early.

  "Good job, Catgirl." Nightwing says typing something in.

  "Yeah, I guess..." Wally grumbles as he looks at Artemis.

  "Thanks, I guess." I roll my eyes with a smile on my face.

  "How is everyone today?" Aqualad asks walking in.

  "Doin, good," Wally says, smiling, "How is our fearless leader doing?"

  "Good," He responds before he looks to me, surprising me a little. "How is your... problem?" He hesitates, not sure how to word it, and I don't exactly blame him.

"Good." I shrug nonchalantly, "Why?"

  The truth is, I don't know how it's going. I won't until Ra's al Ghul makes the first move, which kills me. Figuratively, I mean.

  Until then, I am going to pretend that this isn't happening. I don't want to come to the realization that all of this, the team and my new friends, could be taken away any second.

  He shares a look with Nightwing that I don't miss before he says, "I just wanted to check in." He smiles.

  "Gotcha." I turn to Nightwing, "where is everyone?"

  "Gave them a day off." He states not looking up from the computer.

Oh something is definitely off.

"Why?" I cross my arms over my chest.

  Not like I mind being here, but I could be sleeping right now. I haven't exactly had a good nights sleep ever since Damian told me he was coming. And when I do sleep, it's usually reminders of what I left behind, of what I forgot. And what I wish I could forget.

"Damian is coming over."

  Speaking of things I left behind, "Damian? Why?"

  "He thinks he can help." Wally blurts out, looking like he couldn't hold it in anymore, causing Nightwing to glare at him. "What? She was going to figure out!"
