She forgot her mind link with the others, forgot the mission. All she could think was 'Damnit, Dad! You sound like a pervert!'
Despite their own ongoing battles, multiple heads snapped in her direction. Only Robing appeared unaffected, continuing his not so safe laughter from the shadows. She growled to herself, feeling her face grow warm with shame. But this was NOT the time for this, not at all!
Just as he grabbed for her she neatly rolled away and the battle continued.

They were in their ship on the way back to Mount Justice and she could feel the tension in the air. Now free of the mind link she fought her unrestrained thoughts tumbling around so painfully she wished she had an excuse to keep her mind reigned in.
'This is it! I'm out of here. Kicked out. No one is going to want Sportmaster's kid on their team. Maybe at least I can go solo again... Maybe Green Arrow will really let me become his protege. Ugh that guy, hitting on my mother...
I don't want him. I want my family.'
From where he sat, Kid Flash glanced over for probably about the twentieth time. And finally he couldn't take it anymore.
"What's wrong? Did that creep do something to you?" There was an edge to his voice he hadn't meant to be there.
Artemis took it totally the wrong way. What Wally meant was--hey was your creepy dad being some abusive creep and is your psyche damaged from that creepy abusiveness. What Artemis thought it meant?
"I am not compromised!" She managed to sputter, face flush again. "He didn't do anything to me!"
Aqualad drew in a breath, looking for the patience he needed when dealing with Artemis and her one million feelings. "That isn't what he meant, Artemis. None of here doubt your loyalties. You seem upset. What is troubling you?"
"Don't doubt my loyalties?! What's troubling me?!" She sounded hysterical. In fact she sounded on the edge of hyperventilating. Just a stone's throw away from losing it completely.
It was about then Megan basically pulled the car over--so she could get up from her seat and give Artemis a big sisterly hug. She did not know many things of Earth but she did know of family, know of suffering.
She knew Artemis was not a 'touchy feely' type as Wally would say. But nonetheless she felt Artemis grip onto her, Artemis trying to suppress the trembling and master her shaky breaths. Megan smiled and petted her hair, mumbling soothing nonsense to the girl. Shhh, shhh, it's okay.
