[greenarcheress]

[There's a bit of silence on the seal, before Artemis speaks up. Her voice seems a little dull, not having the cocky tone it usually carried. Why is that, you ask? Well, this archer has gone from a team of six to a team of two.]

If anyone knew Robin, Superboy, M'gann, or Wally...They're all gone. [And that's all she says. She ends the feed there.]

[howkickassiam]

...you okay, kid?

audio

[greenarcheress]

...Yeah. 'Course I am. Why?

audio

[howkickassiam]

'cause losing people sucks and no one's ever a-okay after it.

[greenarcheress]

They were just people. I'm fine. [Lies. She misses her friends. ;;;]

voice;

[shes_got_guts]

[Even if they're not on good terms, she can still sympathize.]

I'm supposing you were close to all of them. I'm sorry to hear they're gone.

voice;

[greenarcheress]

They were my...friends, from home. [She's a bit surprised to hear from you, but she really doesn't feel like starting anything right now.] It's probably better this way. They need to be back home, not stuck here.

voice;

[shes_got_guts]

It's not ever better to be left behind. It's... It's okay to want them back.

voice;

[greenarcheress]

[She's silent for a moment.] I don't need them. [Lies. So many lies. But good luck getting her to admit she really does miss them all.]

action

[acceptedburden]

[Kaldur had noticed Artemis leaving. Part of him wanted to leave her alone, give her time because they had just lost over half their teammates. However, there was another much louder voice saying he should follow her. His own feelings about his team's disappearance were mixed to say the least. He could only assume the best: that they had returned to the cave or their homes, but Kaldur was the leader and thus tended to think about the OTHER options as well.

Still, there was not much he could do about his missing teammates now. It was out of his hands. What he COULD do was go after Artemis and discuss their next move or, at the very least, commiserate together.

It did not take long to track her down, but he let her sit by herself for a few minutes before stepping out onto the building's roof to join her.]

Artemis.

[It is not much of a greeting, he just doesn't know what to say]

action

[greenarcheress]

[She knew you were there, Kaldur, before you approached. But she didn't acknowledge him. She wanted to be left alone right now, not that Kaldur seemed to care. She was sure he knew she'd want to be alone, yet here he was, coming to talk to her...

When he finally stepped forward, Artemis closed her eyes, not turning to face him. She simply continued to sit with her arms crossed over her knees.]

Kaldur. [Just an acknowledgment of his existence, really.]

action

[acceptedburden]

[He supposed he should have known she knew he was there, she was nearly as stealthy as Robin (possibly stealthier since she did not have the tendency to laugh in the dark).

Kaldur stayed standing, staring out at the cityscape]

I have the feeling you do not wish to speak to me...or anyone for that matter.

action

[greenarcheress]

Really? What's clued you in? Was it the fact that I'm on a roof? [Said a bit more sourly than she usually would with Kaldur. But even though she said this, she doesn't want him to leave. He's the last of her friends here. He better not dare try and leave her, too.]

video; IT BE COOL.

[greenarcheress]

[Even though it's on video, Artemis leaves the Seal just where she's out of sight.]

Gradually, over the last two weeks.

video. (yea)

[greenarcheress]

Yeah, my...my teammates.

voice;

[grand_theatrics]

[and it all comes togetherrr.]

I had spoken with some of them on occasion. I had no idea you knew them as well.

voice;

[greenarcheress]

[Lulu get out. :T]

They were my team, from home.

voice;

[grand_theatrics]

[Nah. :T]

I see. This place does have a bad habit of sending those dear to us home.

voice;

[greenarcheress]

[>:T]

So I noticed. Lucky me, it decided to send all but two of us back.
