& that's how you survive

Impulse: Arty’s greatest asset and simultaneously her greatest enemy. Tonight her impulsive nature took for of a surprise visit, both to the person and to herself. Still, she’d been thinking about Roy for a while now. After Lian died, it seemed... difficult to keep in touch, to put it simply. In retrospect, that wasn’t much of an excuse. Nothing about her death was easy on anyone. Even though there had been occasional attempts, the nagging feeling stayed in her stomach: he was a hero, you weren’t. [ @ibroughtanarsenal​ ]

There weren’t many people outside her family, as far as villains went, that Artemis ever really... looked up to. This was for a very particular reason: Grant Wilson. Ravager. Friends were generous in the world she grew up in, not to mention she’d only been 14 and he’d been a full adult in her eyes. But friends was how she thought of it. She wanted him as a mentor. In fact, she’d had a plan to ask him after a while... before he died. Her grief had to be private by necessity. She couldn’t be seen as weak, but she did grieve. She grieved for the friendship that had barely started. Not to mention, no matter the training, Artemis had still just been a child. [ @originalravager ]

West Coast Living... it was certainly here. She’d gotten a cheap motel room, set what stuff she had down, changed into the green getup she’d put together, grabbed her bow, and headed out. Her strategy was just to wait. She’d see Green Arrow soon enough, surely.... right? She sighs as she tugs at the green fabric over her face before she jumps a few more rooftops easily, looking down onto the streets when she hears a commotion. [ @actuallynotrobinhood ]
