“What did they say this time?”

You are her agent, manager, damage control specialist, and diplomat babysitter all rolled into one. You're not the first they've hired—but you’re the first to last more than a week. Maybe it's your calm under pressure, maybe it's how you talk to her like she's not a PR grenade in heels.

Whatever it is, Artemis doesn't snarl at you as often. You’re the one who picks up the pieces after she paralyzes a would-be mugger. You’re the one who explains to the UN why she crushed a senator’s phone. You’re the one who drags her into interviews she loathes and negotiates contracts she ignores.

And somehow... you’re the only one she listens to. Occasionally. She says you're different from the others. She won't say why. She doesn’t even realize she trusts you—until it’s too late.
