I'm struggling with this, but it's getting done! Another plot changer tomorrow/Wednesday!

Chapter 3-

"It's not fair you get to have all the fun." Holly said point blank.

"Hey, I'm not loaning you my grapple gun." Revenge said from the rooftop.

"Still not fair." Holly said.

"Ah cheer up, you can go get a hot chocolate." Revenge said.

"I'm broke, remember?" 

"Still got AL's money?"

"Yeah but-"

"Hot chocolate counts as food."

"What about you?" Holly said, looking at the Black Hero perched on the rooftop.

"I'm fine."

"I suppose you have some warm drink in your utility belt?"

Holly could practically hear the...

WARNING! THE FOLLOWING CHAPTER CONTAINS EXCESSIVE VIOLENCE (I'm paranoid, you may not think so) DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE BELOW THE AGE OF FOURTEEN!!!

Part 1:

Previously on Heart of Courage...

"Star Sapphire and the Joker have rigged a fully loaded hospital to explode. No word yet, but the Justice League says it is sending its best team to deal with the threat." the news reporter said.

 "Aqualad to team two, no bomb here, meet you in the lobby." Aqualad said.

"Funny, no bomb here." Revenge said.

"Robin, re-scan for bombs."

"Already have, three times. I'm not picking up any." Robin said.

"That's...

FANFIC CHALLENGE- insisted upon by 66Dragons

What do you wish for? What if you could take the one thing you know no one would let you have? What would you do? What would you say? Would you think it's all a joke? Or would you go and get it? I was like that first one. I thought it was all a joke. Nothing has ever turned out right for me so why now? Being raised in a criminal family, it's not easy to get through life. Especially when you go to Gotham Academy. The school of all snobs. Especially one who EVERYONE knows; Dick Grayson.

I'm not calling anyone out. No, that's not...

Megan's feet swung happily under the tall table as she sipped her hot drink. She had never thought that an earth drink like hot chocolate would be so wonderful.
“Yum!”
Becca laughed as she drank her own chocolatey beverage.
“Are you enjoying your first taste?” she asked.
Megan nodded rapidly.
“You are quite the unusual girl,” Artemis commented. “I never thought you hadn't tried so many things. So many...earth things.”
“Coming from Mars makes it challenging to try new foods, drink, or anything else. People don't really seem to notice how racially segregated they can be.”
“I know....

I used a few quotes from the TV series in here. Don't remind me.

The two teenagers packed their bags and checked out of the hotel before heading out into the damp, gloomy morning.

Artemis could tell Wally was determined, he hadn't eaten yet. The two marched down to the train station where they caught a train heading toward Venice.

About an hour into the trip, the two teens' tensions were running high.

"This is going to take forever!" Wally complained.

"I don't like it anymore than you do." Artemis replied.

"By the time we get there, the boats will be closed!"...

"Where is she?"

Kid Flash was standing in the middle of the training room, pacing around impatiently. The rest of his team members looked at him with a mixture of pity and amusement. Today was Artemis's first practice session and she was supposed to spar with Kid Flash.

"I'm sure she's on her way," Megan said softly, placing a hand on his arm to try to calm him. She quickly retracted though when she saw him grin wolfishly at her, edging closer to her.

"I agree," Aqualad said, moving closer to the pair. "We have to be patient...

(Yes, two in one day. Even though I'm really sick.)

Artemis's communicator buzzed. What was Batman calling this early in the morning for? She picked it up and, making sure Wally was asleep, slipped out onto the roof.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Artemis," Batman's voice had a melancholy tone to it, and Artemis knew it was bad. "Your mother was abducted by Cheshire and the League of Shadows."

Artemis just stared at the screen for a moment. She started to cry.

"Don't worry." Batman said. "The Justice League is heading to save her, but it'll take a while."

"Worry?!" Artemis...

Artemis must have fallen asleep at some point before the movie ended, because just as the sky was growing dark Wally suddenly felt a weight on his arm. He managed to look next to him and saw that Artemis had fallen asleep on his shoulder. His first instinct was to shake her awake, but he was stopped by how relaxed she looked. Her head seemed to fit perfectly on his shoulder and she was actually smiling slightly. This didn't help Wally's predicament.

Well, um… I guess it was either my shoulder or the window, Wally thought quickly, uncomfortably aware of the heat creeping up his cheeks. So my...

When the smoke cleared, I was missing from the spot everyone had last seen me. I was high in the canopy of fake trees, looking down on Cyborg.
”Dude, I didn’t set my cannon to disintegrate…did I?” he said. Both teams were looking very pale. I grinned and jumped down, right onto Cyborg’s head. I pressed a button and vibranium sound waves emanated from my suit. They were loud enough to shut down Cyborg’s movement.
“The challenge is complete” I said. Cyborg was gaping at me.
“What? Did you not think I was female?” I asked. Then I remembered, that must’ve been what he was doing...

I turned my head sharply to look directly at him. He jumped. I looked at him through narrowed eyes. He tried to look confident, but failed. Both Kid Flashes were running laps around the room. I grabbed the one from my dimension as he ran by.
‘Stop wasting your energy! You’ll have none left to fight at this rate’ I mentally growled
‘Who said we were fighting?’ he asked
‘He did’ I though, subtly gesturing to Control Freak.
‘He’s a fat couch-potato. What can he do?’ Wally thought
‘Haven’t you noticed? There’s no windows, no air vents, no tiny holes in the walls for air, yet...

I gasped and took a step back. "You- you have no proof!" He laughed, "You look the exact same, you sound the same, and you both have the exact same necklace. Com'on, you have to be Mel Ritozo!" I sighed and said, "And you're Dick Grayson." I smiled triumphantly. He jumped over to me and slapped a hand over my mouth. "Shhhhhhh!" He hissed. "How do you know?" "Hmmmmmmm---" I said sarcastically and loudly. He sighed and took his hand off. "Promise not to tell anyone, ok?"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever."
"Great. Shall we?" He took his hand and gestured to an empty phone booth. I shook my head and put my...

Chapter Three- 

"Artemis, checking in. All clear up here." Artemis radioed in. The rest of the Team radioed in their positions and status'. 

"The parade is beginning." Robin said.

The Team had spread out along the street the parade was taking place. Their was roughly one superhero every block. Artemis was the closest to the action. Her bow notched and ready, her watchful eye over the garrisons of policemen and women below her spot on Town Hall.

Aqualad was near the park where a pond conveniently located.

Robin, Miss Martian, Superboy, and Kid Flash were in order down the street.

"Target approaching."...

"Why do we have to go shopping?" Wally whined.

"Because I want to." Artemis said. She hissed at him "We're supposed to be undercover!"

"A guy shopping is not undercover. Besides, why can't we be undercover at the comic store?"

Artemis rolled her eyes. She had basically had to drag Wally out into the market. Ever since he had been complaining about having to go shopping, and why he couldn't go to the comic store. Honestly he sounded like a little boy. Artemis had told him, countless times. It only bought her quiet for a minute or two.

"Because we are American...

"Melanie, time to wake up, our meeting with Mr.Wayne is in 35 minutes." My mom said gently. I groaned and turned around, my eyes squinted due to the light shown through the satin curtain. "And why do I need to go? Besides, its not like I get any benefit from these stupid meetings." My mom sighed, "Melanie, your father and I won't be around forever, and we just want you to be prepared." I really hated it when she called me by my full name. "Why can't you just call me Mel?" I groaned. She laughed and walked out of my room. "You have 35 minutes." She said again before she quietly closed the door....

Fire rained down on them. Ashes covered everything. The building that was once a school was gone. Everything was gone. Megan released her field and fell to the ground, sobbing.
“What's wrong Megan?” Artemis asked.
“Becca and Devin...I can't find a life source anywhere! They-they're gone!”
Artemis gasped and covered her hands with her mouth. Tears showed in her eyes and Kaldur comforted her. Wally watched Connor kneel by Megan, trying to console her. But Wally was more worried about Robin; his whole world was gone. Not a single person he had known from his past was alive.
“What are we...

“You didn’t have to slap me” he grumbled
“Would you rather I kick you in the-“ Robin slapped his hand over my mouth.
“Shhhh! I saw something over there” he shushed. I took off his hand and pulled up my cowl. I saw a shadow go by a tree. I ran up the side of the mountain and started running along it, horizontal to the ground. I jumped onto the shadow, holding it down. It was a fat man with long hair and a grimy overcoat.
“Who the heck are you?” I asked
‘M’gann, get everyone out here. NOW!’ I thought. Seconds later, the whole team was here. I let the fat man up.
“Who are...

I waited until the sun had set before leaving the cave. The night sky was setting in as I walked through the forest. I found a large oak tree and climbed up it. I climbed to the very top, then dove to the ground. I landed perfectly. I walked to the beach and started doing tai chi under the clear night sky. I ran along the beach and did an aryl. I did some back flips and landed nicely. Someone started to clap. I whipped around to find Wally and Robin standing there.
“What do you want?” I asked, pulling down my cowl.
“I was uh…wondering…” Wally started. Robin sighed loudly.
“Mr. Smooth...

After the long ride home, I walked to the cave where I had been staying for the last little while. I had covered the entrance with vines, but inside was bright thanks to the oil lanterns I purchased. I also picked this particular spot because it had a constant trickle of water slashing down the side of the cave wall. I crushed up some heart shaped herb to enhance my senses. I rubbed it on my palms and my face, then let it sit for a moment. Then, I rinsed it off, felling refreshed. Kid Flash zoomed in.
“Ooh! What’cha making?” he asked, eating some. He instantly spat it out.
“EW! You eat...

“Teela, Pois, dispose of the outsider. I will deal with the cub” Lady Liger growled. She got off the throne and walked down to the muddy ground. I grabbed my vibranium energy daggers and stood in a defensive position.
“Back down now cub and maybe I’ll spare your life” Liger threatened
“No” I said. She roared and lunged at me, four hundred pounds of human coming right at me. I flipped over her and kicked her back. She spun around and lunged again. This time I slid under her legs. When she lunged a third time, I punched her face, then her stomach, then her underarm where the pressure...

It was three weeks ago since I talked to Dick. I was in the mall with the orphans. It there was a special show or something. And because Audrey was “sick” at home, I diced to come with them. I couldn’t stop thinking about the fights. The two fights had a main thing in common. The truth. Audrey thought I lied to her. Just because I understand her. In her opinion way to good. Dick accused me of being two different people. I yelled at him before going. It was bugging me for three weeks. Not that I was afraid that I hurt Dick but because I didn’t understand what I said. “Sometimes I wonder...
