Artemis was about to start training when she caught Dick on the trapeze. She couldn't help but smile every time he practiced the flips so artfully. He was always so concentrated on what he did but he still smiled like he was preforming for someone. This time he was unbeknownst to him. "Enjoying yourself?" Artemis asked. He looked down and laughed, landing on the platform. 

"I was until I was interrupted," he teased.

"It looks like fun," Artemis said. A spark lit in Dick's eyes and he climbed down quickly. 

"I could teach you!" he exclaimed. He looked really excited. 

"I don't know Rob," she said. 

"Oh come on, please! It'll help when we go on missions plus it's really fun,"  he persuaded. 


With a sigh, she agreed much to Dick's delight. He'd never been able to teach anyone before because they always made an excuse not to. He remembered Roy's excuse was gingers aren't that flexible. He lowered the trapeze for safety reasons then told her to hold onto the bar. "Okay you've got to put all your weight-" Artemis began to tune him out. She was already super bored. It looks like fun once you're doing it but learning it was boring. She only had to do a few swings and she was done. Artemis dropped down and landed on her feet onto the mat. "This is boring D-" she stopped. Dick was just staring wide eyed at where she once was. His face had grown exceedingly pale as his breathing began to pick up. "Dick?" she asked. His body trembled violently and he lost his grip on the bar, falling. Artemis quickly caught him and put him down but he was still panicking. His breathing was just getting faster and faster. "Dick, what's wrong?" she asked. He didn't seem to hear her, just curled up and put his hands in his hair. "You need to calm down and tell me what's wrong," she insisted but he didn't do anything. She looked around. No one was there. Who could help? "Black Canary!" she exclaimed, snapping her fingers. "I'll go get her," Artemis told him. Running as fast as she could, Artemis went through the Mountain shouting for the female hero.


"Why are you shouting for me? Did something happen?" Black Canary asked when Artemis found her. "It's Dick! We were on the trapeze and I stopped and he's just breathing really fast!" she explained. Canary's eyes widened for a moment then she ran to the training room with Artemis right behind her. They got to Dick but he was still breathing too quickly and he looked like he could throw up at any given moment. "Dick, it's me," she said, kneeling in front of him. "What happened?" Her voice was somewhat soothing to him. It was enough to get his attention and force him to try to talk. "Fell," he said breathlessly. She raised an eyebrow and looked to Artemis. "You fell?"

"No, I just dropped down when I got bored and he freaked out," Artemis explained. 

"Artemis, you know his background! You falling from the trapeze set him off. He's having a panic attack," Black Canary scolded. Artemis stared back, guilt written all over her face. She had caused this all because she was bored! "I didn't think," she started.

"No you didn't. Go get some water for him," Black Canary ordered. The archer nodded and ran off.


"Richard, look at me. Artemis is fine. She is not hurt," Black Canary told him. His breathing slowed a little but not enough for her to feel comfortable. "Breathe with me okay?" He nodded as she held his hands lightly. They proceeded to breathe in and out slowly. "See? Doesn't that feel better?" she said with a smile. Again he nodded, a slight smile on his face. 

"Sorry," he said. She smiled back kindly. 

"Don't be." Artemis returned with a bottle of water and kneeled next to Dick. 

"This'll help," she said. Dick noticed how sad she was and cleared his throat. 

"Thanks," he croaked. He took it and drank it. He hadn't realized he was that thirsty. 

"I'm sorry I caused this," Artemis said. He smiled at her.

"It's fine."

His head had a slight buzz to it and his eye lids felt like weights. "Artemis, can you give us a minute?" Black Canary asked. She nodded and walked out, still feeling guilty. "Do you want me to call Bruce?" she asked. Dick shook his head. "I'll be fine. Help me up." She did so and he lent on her. "You tired Dick?"

"Very."


Artemis spent the day worrying about what she did. Something so simple caused Dick to panic so much. It could've been avoided if she just said she was bored with it. She couldn't get the image out of her head of him looking down in complete shock. His arms giving way and her dashing to catch him. The way his body trembled in her arms. She was pulled out of her thoughts by a hand on her shoulder. Artemis jumped up, whipping around and seeing Dick with a grin. "Someone's jumpy." 

"Guess I am." Artemis replied, sitting back down. 

"Is something wrong?"

"Oh just the fact I gave you a panic attack because I was bored," she snapped back. He chuckled and sat down next to her. "For the record, you're not the first. I get it's hard but don't feel bad about it." 

"Can I make it up to you?" she asked. 

"Actually, you can." he replied with a devious smirk.


Wally walked into the living room and Artemis grabbed him quickly. "Erm what do you want?" he asked. "Payback," she replied. He stared at her blankly until he was suddenly covered in glitter. Dick laughed loudly at him and Artemis almost fell over from laughing. "What is this for?" Wally screeched. "Because I know you showed the team the pictures of my old Robin suit." Wally shrugged.

"No regrets."
