Artemis Crock quotes from Young Justice

Artemis

I still can't believe anyone could do that to his own sister. If my...

Zatanna

Your what? Artemis, talk to me. Secrets don't stay buried obviously. It's better to bring them into the light.

Artemis

Zatanna look. Must be the last thing Greta ever saw.

Artemis Crock

Did you call home?

Wally West

No answer.

Artemis Crock

You could Zeta there.

Wally West

I've been collecting kids all day. I don't need to see another empty house.

Listen, when Fate possessed my body, he defeated Klarion by attacking the cat.

Artemis

Good, not the big cat fan anyway.

Zatara

Fate! Great Nabu, release my daughter.

No. Witness the havoc wrought in these hours. The world needs Doctor Fate and the girl's natural affinity for the mystic arts makes her the perfect candidate.

Artemis

You can't do that!

She has her own life to live!

Kent would never allow you to...

Kent Nelson did object, strenuously. So I released his spirit to the afterlife. He is gone.

Zatara

Take me instead. My powers are already at their peak. My body is physically stronger, better able to withstand the strain of your power.

All true, but if I remove the helmet, what guarantee have I that you will don it?

Zatara

My word.

Cheshire

Why, Arrow. If you wanted another date, you only had to ask.

Artemis

You two are dating?!?

Red Arrow

What? No!

Uh, this could wind up being one of those things that sounds better in my head than out loud, but, you are a real archer. No, I mean, I'm jazzed about Red Arrow! Uh, we go way back, ya know? But you, you've made your own place on the team. You have nothing to prove. Not to me, okay?

Artemis

Okay. And, Wally? It sounded fine out loud.

Sportsmaster

Shh. We wouldn't want to upset your mother.

Artemis

What are you doing here?

Sportsmaster

Just curious to hear how your little team took their defeat. Blamed you, didn't they? Will they keep you around now that Red Arrow's joined up? And what if they learn the truth about the family ties you've worked so hard to hide? Would they ever trust you again?

Artemis

Thanks for the pep-talk, dad. We should have these family reunions more often.

Sportsmaster

You tried, baby girl. You can fight Jade, you can fight me, but you can't fight who you are. time to switch sides, Artemis. You'll never be one of them. You belong with us.

Wally West

Hey, it's after midnight. Happy Valentine's Day, Artemis.

Artemis Crock

You remembered.

Wally West

Come on! What kind of jerk would I be if I forgot Valentine's Day?...For the fifth year in a row?

Artemis Crock

Well, I remembered, too. I got you your favorite food. Everything.

Wally West

Babe, you rock.

Artemis Crock

(to Wally) Babe, you're freaking out over nothing. What could go wrong?

She's dead.

Wally West

Uh, dude, why are you giving bling to my dead girlfriend?

Glamor charm. Courtesy of Zatanna. Visio morphic spell, I think. She said it backwards.

Wally West

Wow, you look exactly the same.

To the four of us. And only us. But to anyone else, you're a totally different person.

Artemis Crock

The more impressive trick is how you got something so specific from Zatanna without revealing who or what it's for.

We have a history.

Wally West

(nudges Nightwing) Dude.

Kaldur'ahm

It is time.

Artemis Crock

What could go wrong?

Wally West

Don't say that.

They're in. We're through the hard part.

Wally West

Who are you kidding? It only gets more dangerous from here.

If you are watching this, then your summit is truly over. The Light and the Reach deserve each other. Both sides play at being partners. But the Reach believes the Light to be their naive tools of conquest, when in fact the Light has manipulated the Reach from day one.

Vandal Savage

Shut this off.

Deathstroke

How?

It was the Light that brought Earth to the Reach's attention by sending the Justice League to Rimbor. The Light set their trap, and the Reach snapped at the bait, fulfilling the Light's desire to thrust our world into the galactic spotlight. Part of their perverse survival-of-the-fittest scheme for the planet, which they believe will transform the Earth and the Light into the eventual rulers of the Milky Way. Though the Light made a deal to help the Reach take Earth, They have also sabotaged the Reach's efforts. They kept the advanced meta-genes out of the Reach's hands. They added a neutralizing agent to the Reach's drink so Earth's population would not become servile. They turned public opinion against the Reach, and they intentionally allowed the Team access to the scarab temple to cleanse Blue and Green Beetle. So, you see, any agenda either side imagined they shared was nothing but a carefully crafted illusion. I trust I have shattered that illusion, as well as whatever remains of this sorry alliance. Good night. (shuts off)

Black Manta

Kaldur. Kaldur, what have you done?

Vandal Savage

He has in death done more to damage my plans than any living creature has wrought in 50,000 years. I'd be impressed if I wasn't so...

The Ambassador

AAH! You earthlings are a pestilence and a plague! You dare sabotage us?! Dare betray US?! Have you forgotten who controls the WarWorld? The Light is fortunate that we do not carve up your planet as we speak!

Vandal Savage

That would indeed impress, as I have the WarWorld's crystal key!

Kaldur'ahm

That was all I needed to know.

Black Manta

Kaldur, you're...

Kaldur'ahm

Alive, yes.

Artemis

(To Ra's Al Ghul to help her up) If you would? Uh. And I always heard how the "Great One" was such a gentleman.

Vandal Savage

Impossible. Deathstroke killed you both!

Deathstroke

Just for a little while. After all, I wouldn't want to do any permanent damage... (Shifts into Miss Martian, and telekinitically holds a sword to Savage's throat.)

...To my best friends. Not when a little misdirection and Hollywood special effects will do instead.

Kaldur'ahm

For we value our true friends, and unlike you, we are not short on them.

I so wanna kiss you now... or maybe kill you for putting us through all this!

Artemis

Hold that thought. You can decide later, (flirtatiously) when we're alone.

Artemis

What was that for?

Beast Boy

(hugging her) I'm still just so glad you're alive! And that Aqualad's not a traitor! No more faking anyone's death for at least a year, okay?

Yeah, seconded.

Kaldur'ahm

Agreed.

(in a French accent) Ah ze Eiffel Tower.... And the ever romantic city of lights! We're definitely coming back here, babe. Y'know, when we don't have a world to save.

Artemis

There will always be a world to save. Now drop me and go! (Artemis shoots an arrow at the drones as Kid Flash zooms to the M.F.D.)

Artemis

Omega to Watchtower, the device is...

Omega, repeat transmission? ...Omega?
