Hello everybody.

This week is a trolling week, but I am not very good at trolling so bear with me.

Pretty much Robin trolls Artemis then they both start trolling the team.

Set late season 1/early 5 year gap.

Mental link = Italics

Translation of foreign languages in brackets (sorry for mistakes - I am not fluent in anything but English).

Hope you enjoy.

Robyn

"Hey Arty Arty Arty Arty Arty Arty Arty Arty Arty Arty Arty Arty Arty Arty Arty Arty Arty Arty!" Robin cackled in the most obnoxious voice possible, bouncing up and down to try and get Artemis' attention.

Artemis had found herself in a rather tricky situation. She was stuck in the cave alone on a Wednesday evening, with Robin. Which meant technically she wasn't alone but seeing as she was stuck with the King of Trolling, she wished she was. Everyone else was either at home or away with heir mentors on small missions and she really wished that she was as well but Green Arrow was busy at a gala and she didn't want to go home, so here she was.

Both human members of the team were sitting on the armchairs in the lounge. Artemis sat cleaning her bow with a determined expression, planning to ignore the boy currently lying upside down on the chair next to her. However, that plan wasn't going as well as she hoped, she was struggling to concentrate on her bow and her patience was reaching its limit.

"What?!" She finally snapped looking sharply up from her bow to the Boy Wonder, who had a smirk on his face that made her want to strangle him. They both knew he was being obnoxious on purpose.

"Hi!"

"Arghhhh!" She growled before taking a visible deep breath and looking back down at her bow, trying to once again ignore him.

"Hey Arrrrrttttty..." A second later the voice came back to haunt her.

"Yes Robin?" She refused to look up and instead just clenched her hands into fists.

"I heard you had a bad day at school. What was it? Oh yeah, someone painted your locker pink and filled it with pictures of Green Arrow. Then a kid, two years younger than you beat you in gym. At archery. I also heard someone put frogs in your bag, ones that happened to just have mysteriously disappeared from the Biology classroom." You could hear the proud smirk in Robin's voice.

And why shouldn't he be proud? It had taken a lot of work and quite a bit of blackmail to get Barbara's help in his plot to troll Artemis.

"How do you know all that?" Artemis stood up sharply, staring down at the still upside down boy as if wishing him to disintegrate, her bow (carefully) disregarded.

"I have my sources." Robin cackled purposely mysteriously, before somehow managing to vanish, leaving Artemis screaming death threats to air. She really didn't want Wally to find out about her misfortune today, she really didn't know how it had happened.

It took Artemis an hour to finish tending to her bow and find Robin. She hadn't actually been looking, knowing full well that if he didn't want to be found he wouldn't, plus the quiet was nice and peaceful. She had gotten a bit hungry so had moved to the kitchen (after putting her bow away) only to find Robin sitting cross-legged on the kitchen island, eating a sandwich and looking completely innocent.

She moved past him, ignoring him, about to try and make herself a sandwich when Robin pushed a plate towards her. It held an already made sandwich, the exact way she liked it. She narrowed her eyes suspiciously, glancing between him and the sandwich, he just smiled innocently (which didn't reassure her). Cautiously she took a bite out of the sandwich and was pleasantly surprised to find it hadn't been tampered with and was just a normal sandwich. She leaned against the island, happily munching away.

"Hey Artemis I couldn't help but overhear-." Robin started speaking as she was about half way down with her sandwich, his tone was just a little bit too innocent to her ears.

"You mean eavesdrop."

"-same thing. Anyway I couldn't help but overhear that you knew some Arabic." Robin continued with a Cheshire cat grin worthy of her sister.

"Yeah I know some, why?" Artemis replied cautiously not knowing where her fellow hero was going with this.

"Well, a mother figure of mine happens to be fluent in Arabic and taught me a bit. So I was thinking we team up." Robin's grin seemed to threaten to split his face in half.

"I'm not going to even ask about the mother figure, but what do you mean team up?" She narrowed her eyes at him, pausing with her sandwich half way to her mouth.

"Well I overheard-."

"Once again eavesdropping. Is that all you ever do?"

"-ignoring that rude interruption. As I was saying I overheard Batman saying we might have a mission later this week, not a major one though. Which made me think, how about we have some fun." Robin cackled.

"Continue." A grin tugged at Artemis' lips, she was starting to understand where he was going with this and it was sounding better.

"Well no one else really knows much Arabic..."

"I like where this is going Bird Boy."

"...Would you like to become my trolling apprentice my dear Arty?" Robin announced straightening up and putting on a fake posh voice, that sounded vaguely familiar for some strange reason.

She brushed the thought aside. "I would love too." She answered in a matching fake posh voice.

Man, should the team be scared. A bird and an archer were out to troll. Artemis was just glad that for once she wouldn't be in the firing line and that she could troll Wally, mainly.

Their plan went into action that weekend. The whole team were out on a simple mission (as Robin had said). Their goal was to find a small ring of criminals that were dealing weapons across several cities, and then deal with the group preventing anymore arms dealing. They weren't a very large group or even particularly dangerous, mora annoying than anything, hence why the team were bring deployed to deal with them. Well that was the plan anyway. Though, as you probably guessed, it didn't go to plan, even if Artemis and Robin hadn't been planning trouble.

Aqualad split the group into pairs on arrival at the rumoured headquarters for the criminal ring. "Zatanna and Rocket are a team, go in the east window. Superboy, M'gann you are team two, head in the west window. Kid Flash and I will go in the front. Artemis and Robin you are the last team, go in the back. No one attack until given permission. M'gann will you please link us up." Aqualad explained the plan.

"Link established." M'gann echoed through their minds.

"Everyone clear on the plan?" Aqualad asked after thanking M'gann. The group had already started splitting up, moving towards their entry positions.

"Yep."

"Yeah."

"Of course."

"Perfectly."

"Yes."

Time for phase one of the troll team's plan.

"بلور" (crystal) Artemis replied in Arabic, sharing a grin with Robin as they moved around to the back, already anticipating the oncoming reactions.

"Sorry, what was that Artemis?" Zatanna asked confused.

"You didn't hear? She said بلور" (crystal) Robin hid his grin like an expert.

They could hear the rest of the team's confusion over the link even without words. They were trying desperately to hide both their snickers and amusement from the mind link as they moved to get ready for the attack. They had purposely chosen to be confusing but not dangerously stupid. They were crouching by some old crates next to a broken window at the back of the building.

"Into position." Aqualad commanded, deciding to ignore the pair.

Now for phase two.

They took turns acting as look out while the other shimmied through the broken window, carefully avoiding al the broken glass and dropping into the shadows behind yet more boxes, ready for the signal to attack. They could hear voices further in the building, and shared a look as they crouched behind the boxes waiting.

"NOW!" Aqualad's voice announced in their heads.

They jumped out from behind the boxes at the same time, joining the rest of the team as they leapt out from around the room. They leapt into battle, easily taking care of the surprised thugs, Artemis provided cover as Robin fought in close-combat, working as a team with practised ease. Robin moved with grace between the thugs, twirling and flipping around and on the thugs while Artemis shot with precision, never missing a shot. They could hear and occasionally see the rest of the team also fighting the growing number of thugs.

The whole time they thought the kept up a rapid conversation in Arabic, both out loud and across the mind link. The chatter in a difference language did its job, confusing both criminals and the rest of the team. Most of the team were professional enough to ignore it and still fight but Wally had made the mistake on concentrating too hard on what the pair were saying and ran into a wall (to Artemis' and Robin's amusement).

Even with their purposely confusing words, the team easily managed to subdue the criminal ring, knocking them up and tying them together as they inspected the weapons and called the police to deal with the group. They waited until they could hear the sirens before heading back to Bio-Ship to make their way back to the Mountain. It wasn't a long journey which meant the team didn't have time to question Artemis and Robin's sudden change in language.

It was only once they had finished debriefing with Batman (who offered Robin a small smile that no one could see - he'd been informed what the pair were planning to do) that the team had a chance to question them. They had collapsed into the lounge room, happy for the break, as Artemis and Robin were still chattering away happily in Arabic. Every so often they would give mischievous grins or glares at someone (not that the words matched the expressions, they were just trying to mess with the team - Wally was getting very unnerved with the glares and grins sent his way).

"What are you guys even saying!?" Rocket was the first one to break, finally asking the question the whole team had been thinking. She hadn't been on the team as long as everyone else and it showed at times with her lack of patience with their antics that the others had gotten used to.

The only answer she got was in Arabic.

"Come on dude, seriously. You are consulting with the enemy!" Wally moaned gaining him and the team identical Cheshire cat grins and even more Arabic. In fact the pair spent the rest of the day speaking in nothing but Arabic. When they returned to the Mountain the next day they were back to speaking in English, pretending that nothing had happened, when asked they would just offer confused looks and question the person's sanity and memory.

The trolls had won the day and they would be back.
