Amethyst<br/><br/>Amethyst hadn't had near the meltdown Windy had.  She shakily sheathed her sword; her bravado gone. She gave a look at Rose that reeked of confusion.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkorchid">"What do you mean unstable?"</span>She looked back to Artemis.<br/><br/>Artemis<br/><br/>Artemis rubbed her temples with both hands as she stopped in front of the only statue that had a name and costume change. She looked at Rose calmly.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise">"Todd being alive is speculation. No one knows for sure if he's Red Hood. I fought alongside him when YJ just started out four years ago. I <i> SUSPECT </i> you're right... He's unhinged from his experience, very much alive.  You're been part of this group long enough. We wait until we have <u> definitive </u> proof."</span>She sighed as she watched Echo/Fang lead Velocity out.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise">"Oracle wants her to go to her room. She can read about the other four during her time out."</span>She faced the others, and took a deep breath.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise">"I'm not sure why this statue is here. I know Tigress better than any other hero in here... You see, this one... Is me."</span>She saw the looks of total disbelief.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise">"No. I'm not a ghost, I'm very much alive."</span>She then explained barely unclassified material of how she and Aqualad had gone deep undercover, and she had "died" as Artemis for that to happen. She explained that after she had helped defeat the baddies, she continued on as Tigress. Instead of retiring at 18 like she wanted, she continued, being groomed as Nightwing's replacement. Meanwhile, unknown to her, Nightstar, a member of Teen Titans, was likewise being groomed for the spot by order of the Justice League. She wanted out, but decided to go on one final mission... The one Rose knew about that claimed the two inductees. Before the bomb Slade planted exploded, she changed back to her green, wanting to use her arrows. Nightwing promised there would be consequences, before Winter Maiden entombed all but herself in ice... Including nearby Rose.  She pointed to the glowing statue of the royal heroine.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise">"She was encasing the bomb when it exploded. There wasn't a whole lot of her left to send back to Arendelle. The Ice Princess died a hero. But she WAS under explicit orders not to get involved. She wasn't ready. Thing was... She was more ready for Slade than any of us. They also found the remains of my old costume, and assumed Tigress also perished. Justice League went with that, I got passed over for promotion because I wanted to be Artemis again. You could say... I've died twice in the line of duty."</span>She frowned as she looked at Speedy.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise">"There once we're three heroes named Speedy. Roy; Will, who you see here; and the Teen Titans current leader. Now, the story of <i>The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly</i>"</span>Olive couldn't help herself, lightening the mood with whistling the theme to the classic spaghetti western. Artemis frowned at her, before going into Red Arrow's career, how he learned he was a clone of Roy, and how Roy was saved, but Arsenal blamed Will for the loss of his arm... And basically bad killed ugly in of all things a bar fight. Will was off duty at the time, and tried to get things under control, when he was blasted out a plate glass window and all over the first police car on the scene. Arsenal was still on the run last anyone heard. The new recruits were warned not to try to take Arsenal on themselves unless they had a death wish; not even Artemis would.<br/><br/>(Too long for phone. Can no longer edit)
