Amethyst<br/><br/>Amethyst wanted to ask Artemis what she was thinking with her look. She and Rose had been close enough to overhear Oracle giving the second in command the warning. As Rose mentioned it was probably a meeting, Amethyst shrugged and followed to the hall.<br/><br/>Her heart sank as she looked at the eight statues. She knew immediately what it meant as she left plans for a similar memorial on her desk in her study at her palace on her old world.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkorchid">"Oh no."</span>She whispered. She listened sadly to Nightstar, and found it interesting the pink speedster seemed to be getting singled out after her tirade in the main part of the headquarters.<br/><br/>Artemis<br/><br/>Artemis nodded to Nightstar.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise">"Thank you, fearless leader. I am intimate with all before you, some more than others*. You are in the midst of eight of the most treasured members of the Justice League and Young Justice. These are even treasured over Batman, Wonder Woman, Arrow, Flash... Even Batgirl. Why? Because they gave of themselves, sacrificing the most expensive treasure, their very lives, in the line of duty and in service for Justice, so others could live."</span>She gave Nightstar a look that said,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise"><i> This will take a while. I'm covering all of them.</i></span>This look was to relieve Nightstar to do anything she had to and come back in about half an hour or so for the final two. The first statue was of Ted Kord, the original Blue Beetle, and his sacrifice to stop a device his company had made from falling into the wrong hands. Since only he possessed the knowledge to even recreate it, the secret of how to, had went to the grave with him. She only touched on the notes discovered on the benefits, but any could see how they could have been turned to evil purposes, and it should even send shivers through Rose. Which was her intention. In fact, the first three were meant to scare the bejeepers out of three certain ones. Rose first; then the Princess (actually she was going to double down on Amethyst, Robin then Winter Maiden); and finally the speedster.  Robin was second, and already murmuring was going on among the ranks. Robin was very much ALIVE!<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise">"Quiet! Let me explain before you start accusing the league of anything!"</span>She looked right at Amethyst, who had drawn her sword; even SHE had heard of Robin. The princess was even frowning.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise">"You think you're hot stuff with that sword, Amy? I want you to pay the closest attention."</span>She hissed pointing. Amethyst held her frown, stood from her crouching position, but had yet to sheathe her sword. Artemis then told the tale of Jason Todd. Red Hood had yet to be revealed as him, and it wouldn't matter since he died a hero.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise">"Remember when Nightstar talked about Joker? Why do you think she referred to him, huhn? He went into a warehouse after him, but the Joker somehow eluded him, got far enough away... And. Blew. It. Up."</span>Artemis got her desired result. Amethyst dropped her sword with a clatter and put both hands over her mouth, shaking her head side to side in horror, near tears. Artemis moved to the next statue. She stared right through Windy.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise">"Look familiar, Pinkie? It should. You saw a picture of him from both Flash and the Bat. Even the Amazon Princess explained the family and legacy you're a part of. We're both are gonna be on you the hardest, and here's why..."</span>Artemis explained about Wally West's carefree spirit, joking and kidding, but how when it was time to be serious... He got serious. Then she explained about the fateful day when the three Flashes worked together to stop a diabolical device, and how Wally vanished from this realm without a trace. Artemis concluded with,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise">"Your top speed is no where near as fast as his. Still think this is a game, Velocity? How about the rest of you? Movin' on..."</span>Next was Tula. The base said "Aqualass". Artemis shivered slightly. Before Tula had settled with her boyfriend, she and Artemis had a fling... Well more than one. She was Artemis' first love and time. After composing herself, though anyone with eyes saw the inner struggle trying to manifest itself... She turned around and gave Tula's heartwrenching story of sacrifice. That did it for Velocity, as she started bawling about as out of control as her speed under Mach one was controlled... And she aced being in control to 761 miles per hour.<br/><br/>Ember<br/><br/>She had seen that look on Nightstar's face, before. Frustration, mixed with aggravation, with a dash of pissed.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:orangered">"Speedy."</span>She muttered softly, remembering the leader of the Teen Titans had tried Nightstar's patience several times. She didn't see it at the time, and maybe Nightstar hadn't, yet, but now it made sense. She had been grooming Nightstar for THIS job, and had been feigning her nerves being shot. She still listened intently, and even turned to look at Artemis who was now standing in front of a statue of Wally West, and not far from the one that looked eerily like her, but said "Tigress" on the base and a whole different costume on the blonde figure. Olive narrowed her eyes. She didn't recall Artemis Crock having a twin sister... Little along her being on the same team as Artemis. She'd have to ask Nightstar or text Speedy about that later. Then she saw it on another statue. "Speedy/Red Arrow" and in parentheses (CLONE). How could they have made a male clone of Speedy... A female?<br/><br/>Kara Kent and Lois Lane (NPC)<br/><br/>Kara was Clark's little sister. They had once been twins on Krypton, and it was her uncle Zor-El that had sent her on the path to Earth. The blonde woman of 19, standing next to the veteran reporter for the Daily Planet, was fussing with a stubborn button on her blazer. Around her neck was a blue tie that resembled two blue dangling ribbons that looked like it belonged on a school uniform in Japan. A skirt that showed off shapely, well toned legs, yet relatively thin for a young lady of 5-8, and easily 145 pounds, and a C chest, was the next adjustment.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rosybrown">"You look fine, Smallville! We're already running late! You're worse than a teenage girl going to a prom! Let's go!"</span><br/><br/>Kara made a face, half listening to her mentor, who was really only about six or seven years her senior.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:lemonchiffon">"Sorry, Lois... I mean Ms. Lane."</span>Now the tie looked crooked. Again.<br/><br/>Exasperated, Lois grabbed Kara's wrist and started yanking her along by it.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rosybrown">"It's fine! NOW, Smallville! We should have been there an HOUR ago! We'd be lucky to get there by the opening bid!"</span><br/><br/>Kara let out a yelp, before saying,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:lemonchiffon">"Sorry, Lois, erm... I mean Ms. Lane."</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rosybrown">"Criminy! Just call me Miss Lois, Smallville... That is literally on my last nerve."</span><br/><br/>Velocity<br/><br/>Windy gulped, standing as erect as she possibly could as Nightstar got in her face. She daren't even<u>BREATHE</u>until the leader pulled away and continued on. She thought as Nightstar left,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:hotpink"><i>Jeez, I get it awready, have a heart, Nighty.</i></span>Good thing there were no mind readers like Zatanna or Miss Martian around. She just broke her own 'no obscene nicknames' rule, although it wasn't aloud.<br/><br/>Velocity was relatively fine until Tula. She saw how Artemis looked at the glowing statue. She had a thing with Tula... Maybe even a first (actually it was both firsts), Artemis struggled for a minute before telling her lover's story that broke Windy's heart.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:hotpink">"Iget it! Ok?! I get it!! I'll be good!"</span>She wailed, sobbing uncontrollably. Someone was going to have to lead her out.<br/><br/>Artemis looked at Rose, then looked away. She was the last person Artemis wanted to lead her out. Rose was aware of the final two inductions. Her story was tied to theirs. She looked for someone else to take the bawling speedster from the hall.<br/><br/>(*She was in a relationship with some of them, and one was her.<br/><br/>Lois is rosybrown and available for everyone to move.)
