Robin's New Teammate (Part Two)
-Trigger Warning for Slurs and derogatory language.-
Bruce sat on the end of his youngest's bed, trying to sound calm. "Dick, your brothers were just talking to us about-"
"About Ember, I know!" Dick exclaimed, his face still buried in his pillow. "What?"
"I just wanted to check and ask you if what they said was true."
"About her watching me? yeah. it's true." Dick croaked. "And the homophobia, and the racism, ableism, and whatever the hell you call what she does to Wally and M'gann."
"Ableism? What's she doing to Wally and M'gann?"
"She keeps calling Conner the R-slur for just being Conner."Dick lifted his face from the pillow a little. "and She keeps pretending to hit Wally because she found out about his dad, and she bullies M'gann and tries to make her reveal her white martian body." Dick buried his head in the pillowcase again.
"What?" Bruce asked. How did he not hear about any of this?
"and you know about Kaldur, right?" Dick asked. "rightfully scared of a racist, homophobe, and a white girl, since she could accuse him of stuff."
"Do any other League members know about this?" Bruce asked.
"I tried to tell you before!" Dick sniffled a little. "You thought I was just crushing on her!"
"Dick, I'm sorry, I didn't-"
"It's fine." Dick said stiffly. "Kaldur was going to talk to Black Canary before training, but I don't know if he did."
"and No other mentors know?" Bruce asked, incredulously.
"It's our team! We wanted to work it out on our own!" Dick argued. "We thought we could handle her, or convince her to quit by ourselves."
Bruce stood up, pulling out his phone. This would not continue.

"m'back." Roy muttered, kicking the door shut behind him.
"Hey. Hey!" Artemis threw a couple dollars at him. Roy bent over and slid a bottle of 7-Up and a pack of Twizzlers across the floor to her. "Th'nk you." She cracked the soda open.
"'welcome." Roy said, plugging his earbuds back in and checking his phone as he strolled to his room. Jesus, Jason was blowing up his phone...
Dinah checked the time, and swore quietly, pulling herself off the couch. "The team has training in a few minutes." She wasn't excited, the team had always been annoying and awkward, but they weren't any fun to teach now, they all seemed so miserable.
"Aw shucks, I have homework, I guess I'll have to skip." Artemis slapped her knee weakly. "Darn..."
"That's never stopped you before." Oliver remarked.
"Hmm, Either keep procrastinating and watching Ru Paul, or get called a Dyke... I'm gonna have to pass on that one." She took a sip of her 7-Up.
"Sorry, what?"
"Huh? Oh, the D-Word thing?" Artemis asked. "Didn't you hear? My sinful Sapphic eyes just long to look down every straight girl's bra." She sipped her drink. "I think I'll just chill and wait for lucifer to drag me down."
"Artemis, who's been-"
There was a shout from Roy's bedroom, along with the bang of him kicking his bedframe. There was a shout of: "Mother Fucker!". That gave the three pause. After a few seconds, his door banged open. "Mother Fucker..." He repeated.
"Who?" Artemis swigged her soda.
"Artemis! You have had this bitch on your team for HOW LONG?"
"Ember?"
"YES. FUCKING. EMBER.!" He roared.
"Like three fucking weeks. I want to end myself." She growled.
"And you didn't tell me she's a fucking pervert to Dick?"
"What? She says I'm a pervert to her? I didn't hear shit about Dick!"
"HOLD ON!" Dinah shouted. "Let's break this down, Ember is new to the team. She calls Artemis the D-slur, and she... is a pervert to Dick?"
"She called Artemis a- the D-slur?"" Roy asked. "Hold on, what?"
"These are a lot of accusations." Ollie agreed. "Roy, where did you hear that she is a pervert?"
"Jason!" He held up his phone. "She peeped on Dick while he was changing."
"Holy shit." Artemis said. "This irony is fucking crazy!"
"And it's not just that either!" The redhead shouted, pulling up the text thread. "Listen to this-"
"Wait. I'm getting a call." Oliver stood up abruptly, pulling the phone from his back pocket. "Hello- Bruce? Wait, slow down, Alright, one minute." He stepped over Artemis and left the room to take the call.
"What were you doing to say?" Dinah asked Roy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey." Dick muttered to his friends. The League had shifted the six of them into a side-room to keep them out of the way.
"Why are we here?" M'gann asked.
"I'm not sure." Kaldur admitted. "I'm sure the Justice League will let us know."
"Ember isn't here." Conner observed, not sounding too upset about it.
Artemis scoffed, finishing off her soda. "I can't believe I stopped watching drag race for this." She shook a package around the circle. "Twizzler?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where'd you take the others?"
"That isn't important right now." Flash said. "We are only here to see you."
"So why are you here?"
"We need to talk to you."
"Why?"
"The team's efficiency has quartered since you've joined."
"Quartered? We've had ONE mission!"
"In addition, we don't like to hear that you've called any of your teammates slurs, and "
"You mean Superboy? You're here over That? I said he was retarded, it was a joke!" Ember exclaimed. "I'd think that a League of superheroes would have thicker skin than twelve year olds on Xbox live."
"Bad joke." Flash observed. "And what about Kid Flash? Do you justify mocking a domestic abuse victim?"
"His dad hit him,, so what? can't he take a joke?"
"Not a joke where you pretend to hit and assault him!" Roy growled threateningly, longing to tear her throat out.
"We're also here because you were watching your thirteen year old teammate change."
"He's a fag, it doesn't bother him!" She shouted defensively.
"What?"
"He's a faggot! Why would he care? He doesn't even like girls!" She justified. "If he has no sexual attraction to girls, when he's allowed to watch me change, so I should be allowed to watch him change!"
"Show your work on that one."
"That Makes No Fucking Sense!" Jason yelled. "He doesn't watch you change anyways!"
"And you're scared of Artemis peeping while you change?"
"Yeah! SHE'S A LESBIAN! She shouldn't be sharing the girl's changeroom!" Ember shouted. "Also, it's way too close to the boy's! That Aqualad-"
"Stop." Damian warned. "Racism and sexual assault accusations won't help the case you don't have."
"What are you going to do? Fire me? kick me off the team for making jokes they didn't like?"
"If you're going to abuse your team, then you won't be a part of it." Batman said coldly.
She swung her backpack over her shoulder. "Fine!" She stalked towards the zetabeam. "But you're going to loose a willing ally over this. One less piece on your side. So stay here with your retarded clone, your gay fishfucker and your ugly-ass alien, cause next time, I'm not on your side-"
Jason nailed a kick into her stomach. a hard kick. Her body didn't cause much resistance, he could feel her ribcage over his boot. "What you fucking get!" He spat on the ground by her. "Do whatever, Bats. I'm going to find Dick and the others."
-Sorry if this seemed a little rushed, I'm just trying to publish Something.-
