06/29/2021 12:38 PM  Father's Day Drabble/s Father’s Day Drabble [Young Justice verse] Star City, California Harper Residences 15:33 P.M. A blonde Vietnamese woman was cleaning up around the house making sure that Will is having a great Father’s Day by chilling out, napping in his own room. Artemis finishes the dishes as she sprays off the sink with the sprayer. This day was is just like every other Sunday. She couldn’t call Crusher her ‘Father’ since he trained the girl since she was six years old along with emotional, mental, and psychological abuse. The Vietnamese woman placed her hands on both sides of the sink and bowed her head down, ‘Crusher a Father? Mom, what in the hell were you thinking of marrying him and hanged on to him while he threw you under the bus!’ Artemis stated to have a conversation with herself in her mind then continues, ‘He just DUMPED you, left you in prison almost to rot. What kind of man trains their children, their daughters to be Assassins? Cold-blooded. Shutting down everything I wanted to be and smack me if I ever say anything abnormal.’ Small tears run down her face with her right hand roughly wiping away and turning around. The blonde woman chuckled to herself a little bit shaking her head, “The only two times he was ever a father is when he threatens Wally if he would break my heart, Crusher would kill him and destroying evidence while being undercover with The Light,” She whispered to herself looking up seeing that she’s alone. Artemis pushes herself off the countertop of the sink and walks towards the living room. Her feet lead her to the couch and taking a seat on the couch. Her gray hues view picture frames of Oliver and Will back when the redhead was Speedy/Red Arrow. Another frame of Will, Jade holding Lian in her arms. The third picture frame seeing Will and Lian laughing. Her eyes smile with Joy. The only people she’s ever seen as Father figures are her mother Paula, Ollie, and Will. Brucely comes into the living room to his owner and licking her face. Artemis laughs bending down to kiss his head. She looks at him, “I know you miss Daddy too. He’s watching over us.” End Scene [Titans verse] San Francisco, California Titans Tower 16:07 P.M. Her gray eyes kept staring at her target and imagine it was her father as the standstill punching bag. Hands quickly moved to hit the standstill very fast along with punches to go along with it. Anger was running through her veins and getting all her frustration out. The teenager has lost the track of time knowing what day it is. She hated this holiday because it reminds her of him. ‘Baby girl, if you were to ever be a hero; I’ll kill you. You would be a traitor to disgrace the Crock family name. You were born a killer through and through; it’s in your blood. Never show anyone your weakness or tell them who you are.’ Crusher’s harsh words ran through her mind and using the last of her energy to run into the standstill and kicking the head of the punching bag knocking it to the ground. “Damn, what did the punching bag ever did to you?” A dry female voice asked. The blonde Vietnamese teen turns her head seeing the Team’s Sorceress leaning against the door, it was Rachel. Artemis grabs a towel from the fallen object and water bottle from the ground, “I imagined the punchbag as my Old Man and beating the living s hit out of it.” She answered as she opens her water taking a sip. “I can relate to that. Father’s Day is a bitch,” The purple-haired teenager said out loud. “You can say that again,” Artemis agreed with her. End Scene [Stargirl verse] Blue Valley, Nebraska Downtown Blue Valley 10:49 A.M. The Crock Family were having Sunday Brunch at a restaurant called, Mandy’s: Old School Café. Paula and Crusher were sitting on one side of the booth with their only daughter Artemis sitting on the other side of the booth. “So, I was thinking about doing a hike after this. What do you two think?” The blonde man asked the two women in his life. “It’s your day honey; we’ll do whatever you want,” The ebony-haired Vietnamese woman commented as she sipping her third glass of orange juice. Artemis shrugs her shoulders with a smile, “Yeah, sure. Like mom said it’s your day.” She nodded her head while taking another bite of her cinnamon swirl pancake. “Awesome! Okay great to hear,” Crusher stated with a smile forming onto his lips and taking a bite of his hash browns. He swallowed his food clearing his throat before talking, “Sweetie.” The blonde man addressed his daughter looking at her, “Mom and I are going to have another Date Night. It’s been a bit of a long time since having one and we like to get out of town or maybe a weekend getaway.” He stated covering a fact what date night really meant. Paula’s dark brown eyes widen with excitement knowing what he meant by that. “I mean yeah, you guys can go. It’s summer. I’ll keep myself company either by working out or hanging out with my friends.” Artemis answered as she looked up at her parents, “Plus I’ve been thinking about getting back in gymnastics and wanting to try Archery just for kicks. Oh, I mean to ask, how would you guys feel if I were to color my hair blonde? I just want to change my hair a little bit.” The ebony-haired teenager stated along with the question of coloring her dark locks. Two sets of silverware dropped to their plates both Paula and Crusher were thrown off guard. "Artemis, why do you want to color your hair? It's so beautiful the way it is," The older Vietnamese woman commented being a little heartbroken of her daughter's choice. "Yeah I agree with your mother on this, you're way too young of wanting to color your hair. Maybe when you're a senior; we can talk about it." The blonde man suggested the idea.

06/20/2021 05:17 PM  Recruiting Time [Titans verse] A mysterious blonde archer kept shooting arrows seeing a woman whose head was half shaved, crop top, black cameo pants, and matching combat books was running after her. A black tattoo on the shaved part of her head. Artemis had a feeling she was from The League of Assassins coming after the teenager knowing this was probably a message from her father. The person that’s after her is name Shimmer. Meanwhile in Downtown San Francisco 24:03 P.M. “Whoever the blonde vigilante is has helped put a lot of criminals and thugs behind bars. We have reached out to our sister city; Star City if this archer is the protégé to Green Arrow. So far, we have not received a comment,” The female reporter stated as she spoke being informative by looking at the Camera. Titans Tower Alarms go off in the Tower as a redheaded woman ran into the communications room to see computers going off. Kori types into the keyboard mainframe to see what’s going on then pulling up camera footage of seeing the mystery blonde archer they were looking for on the possibility for her to join the Titans. Her deep chocolate brown eyes see the footage of the archer running away shooting arrows at a woman who seems to be after the archer. “Hey D ick, you may want to look at his. Looks like that blonde archer of yours might or might not need your help,” Kori pressed a button to the former Boy Wonder’s room to the intercom. Downtown San Francisco Artemis was on high alert as she pushed herself to keep running faster. Her right arm reaches over to her quiver and realizing she wasted her trap arrows on the half-shaved bald woman. Shimmer disappears into the water knowing the liquid was all over the street including a faster way to get to the blonde archer. Artemis stops in her tracks as she catches her breath and grabbing an arrow from her quiver and placing it on her bow including having her arms position. Her gray hues are looking in all directions, checking her surroundings. She kept her composure cool. ‘Never show your enemies your fear, you’re going to be killed for that,’ Her father’s words spoke out to her in her mind. Her eyes and mind are focus on her mission. ‘It’s quiet, too quiet,’ Artemis commented mentally to herself. Undenounced to her, she felt her weapon being roughly being pulled away from her causing a long cut on her left forearm. The blonde archer sees the woman felt a kick from the shaved-haired woman, “Bring it on Bitch!” Artemis said as she balled her hands into a fist and starts fighting her. The teenager does a double front flip and punches her target in the face while ignoring the small pain she has. The woman does a roundhouse kick with teenage dodging it and punched the woman to both of her sides quickly. 0 Comments

06/20/2021 05:15 PM  Numb & News Star City, California 14:15 P.M. Harper Residence Artemis Crock came back to the home she shared with her brother-in-law and niece with her both of her hands broken and wrapped up. Flashback Tears were running down her face as she kept hitting her fist into the hard metal of the Watchtower. The blonde woman didn’t care about her hands all she cares about is taking her anger out on something else instead of D ick or Wally. Everything flew over Artemis’s head letting her subconscious and emotions take over. “ARTEMIS! ARTEMIS? ARTEMIS!” A concerning male voice yells in the halls calling out for the whereabouts of his best friend. The blonde woman shifts herself to where her back was covering up the punch marks with blood marks. She tries to catch her breath trying to collect herself as she looks down at her hands. Artemis f***ed up ROYAL. Both of her hands are now broken and knowing she’ll be out of commission physically but can still instruct members of both the Team and Outsiders on mission sent outs. ‘Great. JUST F***ING GREAT! GOD ARTEMIS, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BE AN IDIOT?!’ She yelled angrily mentally at herself and viewing her bloody broken hands. “Artemis!” D*ck Grayson comes running up to her and looking down to where she was looking out. His blue hues widen with horror and his jaw dropped being in shock, “Artemis, what did you do?” The ebony-haired man asked as he helps his friend on his feet with his hands on both of her arms. The blonde archer stood up getting herself up at her feet as she stared blankly forward. The former boy wonder looks down to see the punch marks and blood evidence. The two teammates walked silently back to the Infirmary. They didn’t dare to talk about what happened. D ick knew why she did what she did. Artemis started to compose herself as she was about to face her “boyfriend” again. The Infirmary The ebony-haired man guides her to another section of the room and gesturing his right hand to take a seat on a chair. The blonde woman breathed out as she takes a seat and placed her broken hands so he could properly treat them. “Woah! What happened to her?” Wally asked being caught off guard. The back of her hair stands up as she looked at the wall not wanting to see him. “It’s nothing Wally, get some sleep,” The former boy wonder commented to his best friend as his attention to aid his best friend’s injury. Artemis held her pain in as she regrets injuring her hands. Twenty minutes later…. “That should do it Artemis and here are some pain killers just in case,” D ick replied with a fact along with putting a bottle of pain killers into her jacket pocket. “Thanks, D ick,” She thanked him with a head nod and looks at him. “I’ll let you know how I am in twenty-four hours,” Artemis replied as she turns around ignoring the redheaded former Speedster and leaving the Infirmary as she heads back home. Flashback Ends She breathes in and out. Artemis uses her right foot kicking the door to substitute for a knock, “Roy, it’s Artemis. I can’t open the front door. I physically can’t,” The blonde woman stated the truth and bracing herself on what kind of reaction would get from both her condition and telling him about how his best friend is alive from the Speedforce. While Roy was battling with his own problems at the moment while trying to take care of his only daughter, Lain. 0 Comments

05/17/2021 11:16 PM  Mom and Dad, What are you hiding? (Stargirl Verse) Blue Valley, Nebraska Crock Residences 11:25 P.M. Central Time Fifteen-year-old Artemis Crock just finished the last sit-ups her parents wanted her to do before doing her homework then going to bed. She jumped on her feet to stretch out her whole body in order to cool off. She turns her head to the right seeing her now blonde hair sitting on her shoulder. Artemis begged both of her parents to color her beautiful ebony dark locks into a bright blonde. In truth, the teenage girl wanted to stand out from everybody else at Blue Valley High including the town. Sure both of her parents were against it, but she used her babysitting money to get her hair colored. A ring from an iPhone goes off as the time sound is alarmed. The blonde teenager leans forward as she reaches over to grab her phone and turning off the alarm. Her dark brown eyes look to see a text message from her mom reading, “Artemis, your Dad and I are still on our date out of the town. We’ll be home around midnight or so. Remember to finish up your workout regimen, homework, shower, and bed. Your Dad and I love you so much, our little Star Athlete. Goodnight.” With the quick movement of her thumbs, she responds back to the message, “Of course, love you guys too. See you two in the morning.” Artemis presses the sent button and starts making her way towards the kitchen. The blonde teen goes over to the fridge opening the door to grab a water bottle and uses her right hip to close the door, “Where in the hell do my parents find the time to have a date night on a school week?” She asked the question out loud shaking her head being confused. Artemis twist off the top of the bottle and starts taking a few steps away from the kitchen. The teenager runs quickly to both the front door and back door making sure it’s locked. She stopped in her tracks as she heard an off sound from the wooden floor panel. Artemis uses the ball of her right foot to hear that offset. She bends down placing her water bottle by her feet and her phone into the front pocket. Her fingers gently graze the wooden piece and carefully pulling out. Artemis steady yet carefully sticks her hand to what was hiding on beneath the floor. She feels something familiar in some way and pulling something out, “A crossbow? What is a Crossbow doing underneath the floor?” The blonde asked herself again being completely confused. “Was this something Mom and Dad were supposed to give me for my birthday?” Her dark brown hues exam it and from the looks of it, it’s been used. Multiple times. Just from guessing on the marks on the weapon. ‘Why would my parents keep a Crossbow hidden? For an attacker or something?’ Artemis thinks to herself. She pauses for a couple of seconds trying to put two and two together. The teenager puts the crossbow back to where it was before and placing the wooden floor piece back to where it covered the hidden crossbow. Artemis turns her head to the left to see the Basement door being closed. ‘Remember Artemis, don’t go into the basement. It’s a mess down there. Your Father and I do are planning for the whole school year with Activities, Sports activities, and Booster Club.’ Her mother’s words run through her mind. The teenager walks over to the door of the basement and thinking where would they put a spare key. She snaps her finger then reaches over to the back of her head pulling out a bobby pin and she bends eye level to the lock. Artemis places the bobby pin in messing with it until hearing a ‘click’ go off. “Sweet, I’m in!” She said with a small victory. The blonde opens the door and flips on the switch that turns on the whole basement. Artemis carefully walks down the stairs making sure there are no traps. She looks around to see everything was organized instead of a mess. The teenage girl walks over to the wall seeing typical sport objects: Golf Clubs, Tennis Rackets, Cricket Paddles, and Lacrosse sticks. “Um…. Okay?” Artemis said under her breath being completely confused and grabs the handle of a Driver of a golf club. The wall rotates to another wall, a wall that has several silver baseball bats, a hockey stick with ten hockey pucks, and two black crossbows with dozen of arrows (trick arrows). On the same wall, the other side there’s several Discus, Javelins, Knifes, Pole, Saber, and a heavy metal ball that’s attached to a cord and handle with spikes on it. “Mom and Dad, what in the hell are you hiding?” The blonde teenager replied being both confused and horrified by what she is witnessing.

03/21/2021 10:11 PM  Tigress. Artemis Crock is Dead Flashback It’s been a couple of weeks since Artemis Crock switched sides; she went from being a hero to being an assassin. The blonde woman was in a mental battle with herself for weeks and one mission with The Outsiders she just snapped by stabbing along with beheading three ninjas that work with The League of Shadows. Sportsmaster, Icicle Jr., Shimmer, and Black Spider. “I’m so sorry guys,” Artemis is dressed in her alter-ego Tigress as she looks tearfully at her teammates with guilt and shame written all over her face. “What you did Tigress is unforgivable,” Superboy stated with a serious tone. “We’re going to have to take you into custody,” Nightwing commented as he looked at his best friend. Wally steps out towards her, “Artemis, please don’t do this! You fought so hard to break away from your family ties and me being away didn’t help.” He said very calmly and speaking the truth as he stood right in front of his girlfriend. “I know you’ve been struggling with your demons. Don’t go to the Darkside Artemis, please don’t.” The redheaded Speedster begging his girlfriend to reconsider her choice. The blonde had tears brimming in her eyes and shakes her head, “I’m sorry Wally. I tried fighting the Assassin side, but it took over. I can’t take back what I did.” She stated a fact with her gray orbs gazing into those emerald hues she missed so much. Artemis grabs her boyfriend’s collar and kisses him for a few seconds then pushing him away, “I’m sorry Wally; I will always love you.” She stated a fact and looks at her friends that were hurt by her actions. The blonde woman continues with her words, “The next time you see me, kill me. I mean it! I’m sorry.” Artemis replied being series as she walks backward to The League of Shadows. “Let’s go!” Sportsmaster gave an order to Shimmer. The half-shaved woman grabbed two balls from her pocket and dropping them to the ground. Artemis along with members of the League of Shadows disappear. Halo and Miss Martin clear up the smoke from where Shimmer dropped the smoke bombs. Wally ran where his girlfriend once stood. Nothing. Artemis and members from The Shadows left. “Artemis,” The redheaded Speedster said with pain in his voice. “Artemis!” Halo and M’gann repeated her name together. Everyone in the Team was in complete shock; Nightwing felt like he was stabbed right in the heart seeing his best friend now working for the dark side. Kadlur and Superboy were just at awed with being stunned and trying to process what just happened. Halo and Miss Martin are devastated by what they just witnessed. Wally is heartbroken, angry, and sad that his girlfriend who he now has his memory back has crossed over to work with their enemy. “How do we tell the rest of the Team and the League about this?” Halo asked being very careful with her question. “We just do… Artemis murder three lives right Infront of us and crossed over,” Nightwing address the answer as he looks at his Team. The ebony-haired man walks over to his best friend and placed a hand on his shoulder, “Wally, I’m sorry about Artemis. We thought she was getting better, but we should have paid more attention to her distress.” D*ck replied being sincere. The redheaded Speedster is still at a loss for words. He turns around to face his best friend, “You should have tried HARDER to keep her sane! Now I lost my girlfriend to the enemy once again! If any of you guys kill her, I’ll never forgive you for it.” Wally stated in a stern serious tone of voice as runs away from the scene. Flashback Ends Elsewhere… “Don’t. Speak. Anything,” Artemis said with anger as she took off her mask facing away from everyone else. ’I’m sorry Mom, I’m so sorry to disappoint you once again and for good this time.’ She mentally apologizes to her mother praying. The blonde woman took off her mask and throwing it across the ground. ‘This is a virus; I want it to end. Please, please me get killed when The Outsider or The League see me. This is the ultimate betrayal I’ve ever done’ Artemis mentally thought to herself as she prayed for her death. Now “I was wrong to think you belong on this side. YOU belong working with your real friends, your boyfriend, best friends, and mentors in The Outsiders and The Justice League. YOU are the good apple that our family needed. Lian NEEDS you, she needs a mother figure. She needs an Aunt to show things and she can be anything she wants to be,” Jade pleaded with her little sister to make up her mind. The blonde woman finishes up her high ponytail with a braid that reaches the end of her back. Skintight leather of orange and black as she ditched the full one-piece suit. Artemis fixes her crossbow and arrows to the left side of her shorts. Putting on a spike necklace that is sharp to the end of the tip. She paints the left side of her face orange and black outlining. Artemis looks in the mirror seeing the outcome of her new and improved Tigress uniform, “It’s too late, Jade. You and Dad wanted me to join the Family Business since I was thirteen. I can’t take back the lives I took; sure they worked for The Shadows, but what I did was wrong.” She replied with no emotion in her voice as she turns around to face her older sister, “I can’t go back. They can kill me if they want, I won’t stop them. This is me now Jade. Tigress. Artemis Crock is dead.” The blonde woman stating a fact. FIN 0 Comments

02/23/2021 10:06 PM  Sunflower “From the first moment I held you in my arms my little kitten, you became my Sunflower,” Artemis stated the truth with sincerity in her tone of voice and her gray hues looking at her niece’s same eye color. “Why a Sunflower Auntie Mouse?” Lian asked being confused as she tilts her head sideways. The blonde woman laughs a little as she gently wraps her arms around her niece with them sitting on the couch. Artemis kisses the top of the red locks then looking down to see her niece again. “A Sunflower is a beautiful flower. It has big bright yellow petals with a big brown center. It brings a smile to anyone’s face when that person is down. It’s a ray of sunshine that lights up the room and you did that for me and your dad.” She answered her niece’s question and gently held Lian’s hand. “When your mom dropped you off at Grandma’s house when you were a couple of months old at the time. She dropped you off on her old bed and when I held you Lian you were the light I needed. I just lost someone I shared my life with and was in a very dark place.” Artemis spoke the truth not knowing there were teardrops falling from her eyes. “You became my sunflower that I needed to get me through my recovery. Your Mom and I were duking it out, she told me, ‘I was just mad that you weren’t around to babysit your niece.’ I couldn’t believe I was an Aunt and seeing you asleep; made me feel at peace.” The blonde replied being honest and felt a pair of little hands wiping her tears away. “Don’t be sad Auntie Mouse, I love you. You are the best Aunt in the whole wide world, this much!” The small redheaded child spoke being cheerful and stretched her arms out from both sides. Artemis smiled softly as she felt touched seeing her niece holding her arms out as far as she can, “Thank you little Kitten, that means the world to me.” She replied nodding her head. “That’s how the long pedals are to a sunflower. You are the best niece anyone can ever ask for. I love you Lian, you are my Sunflower. My beautiful Sunflower.” The blonde woman smiles at her niece.    FIN 0 Comments
