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.
