-Also thanks to @storm-of-imagination, I included something you asked for (Hope it works)-

Artemis was heading home from 7/11, when she saw something VERY out of place. That freshmen from his school, Richard Grayson, in full school uniform, looking confused. This was weird cause it was Downtown Gotham, two blocks from skid row. 

"Hey, Kid! Grayson." She could swear he jumped four feet. "Hey, are you lost or something?" That's how you know the kid is from uptown, NO ONE around there even batted an eyelash if you shouted.

"Oh." He recognized her and relaxed a little. "Yeah, I'm trying to find the Greyhound terminal..."

"Ah, that's two streets from here." She nodded. 

"How'd you know I was lost?"

She laughed. "Rule number one; you take off the privet school uniform before coming down here. I'm surprised no ones stolen your fancy new trainers at knife-point yet. Oh, and hide the watch." She tapped the watch and he jerked it back a little. "Chill out, I'm not going to take it."

"Sorry, it was a gift..." 

She directed him to the Greyhound stop and started walking with him. "You won't make it the two streets without me. At least one person will hold you at gun point." 

"Okay." He mumbled, glancing around himself and sticking to her side. 

"You're nervouse as hell." She observed.

"Sorry." He admitted bashfully. "I've been targeted a few times... uh, kidnapped."

Artemis tried to by sympathetic. She showed him her blade. "Well, incase anything DOES happen..."

"But... those are illegal." He exclaimed.

She laughed. "You're like the kid from the street smarts videos in elementary." She walked with him for a bit while he talked about About school and Mathletes and drama club. Finally she said what was on her mind. "Why didn't you get driven down there?"

"Oh, no one was free to drive me. I'm meeting Bruce at the other Terminal..." He cautiouly watched a few guys on the street. Artemis clutched her knife in one hand, and put a hand on his shoulder, steering him past them.

"NICE PUSSY!" One of the guys snarled.

"Fuck me, sugar tits!" The other called.

Dick tried to pull away. "HeY-"

"Not worth it." She kept yanking him after her. 

"You can't say That! She's a person!" The idiot kid wanted to beat up these creeps, twice his size.

"Keep walking, Grayson." She hissed. 

"But-"

"Don't be stupid." She ordered, ignoring the creep's jeering. "These guys aren't your prep school, grade eight creeps. They can fuck you up. Let's save the hero work to the heros."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why are you so late?"

"I was helping some kid from school find the bus stop."

"Oh, that's nice." 

"He'd get mugged, -maybe even kidnapped without it." She shrugged. "Downtown in Gotham dressed like a stereotypical rich kid."

"That's rough. Robin's not here today either." Wally had a suspition about the rich kid she'd helped. "But, I'm not gonna be here tomorrow, so..."

"Why?"

"Science fair." He pulled out a flyer, steeping it on the table. The others started reading. 

"Hey, this is district-wide!" M'gann observed.

The zetabeams flared into life and Roy stumbled through furiously. He looked around himself. "Not ideal, but it'll do." He'd just been fighting with Oliver and a couple others, and had stormed through the beam without checking the location setting.

Artemis ignored him, picking up the flyer to read it. The tall fucker came over and snatched it from her. "HEY! Bitch!"

"Swear jar." He reminded. She groaned and pulled a crumpled dollar out of her pocket, sliding it in the jar on the table. "Hey, Semi-finals, good job." He observed. 

"Thanks." Wally was getting a little uncomfortable. "I should go make sure no  cheating little... snitch has messed with my presentation.

"Okay. Have you eaten since school?"

"...No?" He replied.

"Okay. go to bed early. Otherwise you'll doubt yourself and start messing with your project."

"I mean... I'm not objecting..." Wally nodded, running out, leaving the flyer.

"So... Are you guys going to this?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kaldur, M'gann, Conner, and Artemis emerged from the Ceneral city Zetatube as subtly as possible (Which was not very subtle). They made their way to the main road to wait for their ride.

Imagine their horror when their ride showed up outside the bank, blasting the kidsbop cover of Payphone.

Passersby turned to look. Mortified, the team flung the doors open and hurried in, rolling the tinted windows up.

"Hey kids." Roy shouted over the music."

"Fuck you!" Artemis exclaimed. 

"ARTEMIS!" He turned hi his seat, turning down the music to yell at her. Him turning down the music was exactly her plan. 

"Nice car." Conner commented.

"It's GA's."

"Nice of him to let you borrow a car." Kaldur added.

Roy snorted. "He didn't lend it to me! I stole it!" Everyone looked at him. "I'm going to give it back! He was just being a bitch, so I took it!"

Artemis was almost offended. "Yesterday Ollie I got in trouble for kicking my legs up on the kichen counter! You stole his whole-ass car!"

Roy reached into the glove box. "Gum, anyone?"

"Yes please."

Roy passed it back and kept driving. "Has evryone had food?" They all nodded. "Water?" They nodded a little, Roy got out a big water bottle and passed it around.

Two blocks away, Dick left the hotel room. "Yes, Bruce, I can make it up to the school alone. It's fine!"

"Okay, if you insist..." His father doubted this. "Do you want me to call you a taxi?"

"I can do it if I get lost." The thirteen year old stated boldly. 

"Text me when you arrive. I'll see if I could come pick you up afterwards."

"Have a good time at your meeting... if you can." Dick insisted that he was fine and huried onto the street. It was pretty bright, he was lucky he brought his sunglasses.

A huge car pulled up next to him, he started walking faster. It was a big, black car, with tinted windows, he'd been kidnapped in a car almost exactly like that two years ago. He hurried up, clutching his bag; Artemis was right, he looked too rich...

The window rolled down and started playing music, against his better judgement, he glanced at the window, and started.

"Boyo!" Roy was leaning across the passenger seat. "Going to Wall's science fair?" Dick nodded, confused and startled. "Get in!"

He did, squeezing between Artemis and Kaldur. "Thanks."

"Why didn't you join us?" Conner asked. 

"I didn't know you were going..." He admitted.

"Rob, have you eaten yet?" Roy asked.

"A little."

 "INSUFFICIENT!" Roy reached into his backpack and tossed a protein bar at the boy. "Eat, or you'll feel sick."

"Thanks." He muttered.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was still early, and most of the kids at the science fair were with their parents, setting up their prenentations. Wally set up his presentation early, he was watching the others around him. He had no one coming that day, though it seemed his competitors had invited their whole familt tree.

Though, it was better for his family not to be there. He didn't talk to his father most days, he slid in and out of the house, trying to cause as little trouble -and get away as few bruises as possible. He slept at his uncle's pretty often. Occasionally, he stayed with Dick, or Roy or at the mountain for a few nights until things calmed down. 

He should've told his Uncle and aunt about getting through to semi-finals, but if he told them, they might tell his folks, and he'd get caught withholding information from them.

It was better off having no one here to support him. 

"WALLY!" He'd leaned so far back in his fold-out chair, and he went tumbling back onto the hard gym floor. He was a pair of feet in nice sneakers running towards him. 

"Di-" He looked up at Dick and realized he wore glasses indoors. "Rob, what're you doing here?"

"Visiting! You don't think I'd forget, do you?" He helped Wally up.

"Why are you... Rob?" He asked. 

"Oh, I ran into the others." He admitted, at which point, the hideous sounds of the kidzbop kids came from the door to the parking lot.

"That's them, isn't it?"

Dick nodded. "I didn't want that shame so I jumped out of the car two blocks down."

Wally looked at him suspitiously. "Did the car slow down...?"

"It might have, I didn't notice." Dick admitted.

Just then, five teens wandered in, one of them pointed out Wally and they made their was over. 

"Wally!" Artemis stomped over. "What's this?" She pointed at the presentation.

Excited that someone had asked, he began explaining, animatedly. The others formed around him as he showed off all his work.

"Impressive." Roy observed. "I got you something." He gave the boy a bag of pretzals and a reusable water bottle. 

"Thank You!" He demanded, Tearing it open. "I haven't had breakfast." 

"Yeah, Roy's being our food caddy today!" Artemis said. "So what about these randos?"

Wally looked worried. "The five best from every school in the district."

"They're going DOWN!" Dick excliamed.

"Yeah, Wally is one of the smartest people I know!" M'gann agreed.

All this love and enthusiasm was getting his competitor's families attention. A girl from a different school came over to see what all the shouting was.

"Who're you?" She asked. "Are these your friends? Why aren't your family here?"

IMIDIATELY, the team formed an intimidating wall of protection around Wally. He didn't really feel like explaining he didn't want"These... are my family."

"They don't Look like you." She glanced at Roy. "Except That One."

"Well..." Artemis read the girl's name tag. "Arden, you can fuck right off."

"Yeah, ever heard of being adopted?" Dick tried, just stoking the flames now. 

"Our Parents aren't here yet." M'gann bluffed.

The girl just rolled her eyes and salked off. The team tried not to laugh at their awesome con.

"That's it guys, you're officially my stand in family." Wally snorted, he was only kind-of joking. 

"Hell yeah we're FAMILY!" Artemis pointed out. "Roy's our overbearingmom."

"BC is out chaotic aunt."M'gann jested.

The team continued messing around until the judges came around to Wally's table. He presented the best he could with Dick winking at him over the head judge's shoulder. 

He couldn't even bring himself to be mad, they brought him food and spent the whole time with him.
