The Watchtower

Jaime and the others walked though the Watchtower. Aqualad had told them Batman wanted them to come. But, of course, no knew why.
They arrived in main room, and saw some of their mentors. Batman was typing on the holographic computers. Green Arrow and Black Canary were talking to a girl.
She was 15, 16 maybe 17 at most. She had on black jeans, a leather jacket, a white shirt, black boots, and a top hat. The thing that Jaime found cool was the cat curled on her neck. It was just lying there, sleeping. Jaime, then, noticed the girl was talking.
"It's a matter of life or death."
Green Arrow laughed, "Yes, Dinah. This is vital information."
"It will be death for the two when they find out." Black Canary countered.
The girl smirked, "They'll only find out if ya tell 'em. We want to… no, we gotta know. Please… Marie and I got money on this, and I ain't gonna be losin' to a kid."
Green Arrow face palmed, "The very fact that you made a bet with Queen Marie shows us how unintelligent you actually are. You must have forgotten who her mother is."
Black Canary rolled her eyes, "Yes, you are dead."
They ignored her; the girl shrugged, "I didn't forget; I just hope that Marie takes after her 'uncles'."
Green Arrow muttered, "Yes, because we all need titans to try to destroy the Western Civilization, again."
Jaime was really confused. Unlike the others, who were trying to understand those strange words; he was only focused on one thing: this heavenly angel.
They seemed to notice the Team's arrival now. Aqualad stepped forward, "Apologies, for interrupting, Batman, but you called for us."
The Dark Knight nodded, "This young lady is Magi, your new teammate."
That's when the yelling started.
"No fair!"
"Never heard of her."
"Who is she?"
"Does she even have any power?"
Everyone was yelling except for the three of to the side. Virgil, Jaime, and Bart were too busy staring at the girl. But, Artemis yelled, "Everybody! Shut up!"
The room became quiet.
Black Canary sighed, "Thank you, Artemis."
The former archer smirked. "Always fun to yell at people."
Batman said, "Back to the matter at hand… this is Magi. She is an actual homo magi, like Zatanna. Black Canary has chosen her to be her protégé. And, like the rest of the protégés, she is joining the Team. And, yes… she has many skills. She is studying magic. She can use weapons, but is nowhere near the level Artemis, Batgirl, and some of the rest you are at. Lastly, Black Canary has been training her in fighting since she was nine. That may be hard to catch up to."
Jaime could have sworn he saw Batman smirk at the end.
Cassie cleared her throat. "If Magi has the same powers as Zatanna, then why is she Canary's protégé?"
GA, Canary, and Magi looked at each other. Canary answered, "I've been training Magi longer than she's been doing magic."
That is a lie, Jaime Reyes. It is clear in the Canary's eyes. The Magi must have a history with the Zatanna that we are not to be told.
"Why now?" The Team all turned to find the voice. Batgirl walked up to Batman. "If you think she can replace them… Wally died, Nightwing left, …" Everyone bowed their heads in honor of Wally. "The Team has enough members, we-"
"I'm not a replacement." Magi walked up next to Batman. Her cat jumped to Green Arrow when she moved. The archer rubbed the animal's head. "I've heard stories about ya'll from Canary. She said ya'll were brave and selfless and powerful. Then, six years later, I come, and ya start yelling me… Some heroes."
"Pretty and clever," Virgil muttered. "She'd make the gangs in Dakota City run for their mommies."
Jaime held back a laugh. "Canary trained her. You really think the senorita just fights with her fists. Reverse psychology was probably her second language."
"She'd get an A in my psychology class, and that teacher fails everyone."
"When she's done conquering Dakota, El Paso and Gotham will be a walk in the park with her powers." Artemis muttered to them, as the two boys snickered.
Bart laughed, "Like she's powerful." Everyone turned to the speedster.
"Not your finest hour, ese." Jaime muttered.
"Not the best way to get a girl attention, dude." Virgil smiled.
"He's Wally's blood, alright." Artemis sighed.
Bart tried to stay cool under the pressure. Magi walked over to them, and crossed her arms over her chest. "If you think ya're so much better… Prove it."
The speedster did not have the common sense he needed. "You know, Beautiful, you can use your little magic tricks all you want, but I'm too fast for you."
Everyone took three giant steps back. Magi got in a fighting stance, and waited.
"Begin," Canary told her.
Before Bart could understand, Magi jump in the air. While the air, she put her feet together, and they hit Bart's chest. He landed on his back, and she stood firmly on his rib cage. "I may be from the South, but even I know beautiful is an adjective, not a noun."
Black Canary nodded. "That's good, dismissed." Most of the Team left.
Five members stayed. Magi and Virgil were taking joy in stepping on and kicking Bart. Artemis and Jaime were trying not to laugh, but failing badly. The speedster did not like it one bit. "Ouch. Hey… stop that… Beautiful … I've only got one nose… Virgil… I only have two ears. Hey, stop."
Green Arrow threw the cat back on Magi's neck. He laughed as he and the leaguers left. "Okay, stop killing him."
"Awww…" the two newest members of the Team said, but they stopped.
Jaime helped Bart up. The speedster was in pain. "Owww. Not crash, so not crash."
The Magi is very dangerous. She radiates power, Jaime Reyes. Scarab said.
"Why can't you be quite for once?" Jaime growled.
"Sorry," Bart said. "It's impulse, I guess."
You must be careful. We must be careful.
"Do you have real reason?" He shot back.
"That was a real reason! It's not my fault!"
You and I can speak from experience… Kindnesses can be a sign of trickery. Do you remember the Green Beetle?
"Yeah, kind of hard to forget."
"What's that mean?"
Remember this warning when she overpowers us.
Jaime had enough. "Usted es terco." (You are stubborn.)
The Scarab didn't respond.
"Speaking in the third person is… interesting." Magi smiled at him.
Bart looked confused. "Am I missing something?"
Jaime had to test it. "Hablas español, angel hermoso?" (You speak Spanish, beautiful angel?)
The girl laughed, "Of course."
"I'm impressed. Are you as fluent as you are magico?" Jaime was trying to flirt with her, and the smile he received proved he was captivating her.
"Oh, I'm fluent, but not in Spanish, escarabajo. I'm still working on that one."
Virgil clapped, "You were right, she can speak reverse psychology."
Jaime glared at him, mentally planning his friend's funeral. He turned to Magi. "So, do you need a tour of the Watchtower? I'd love to give me one?"
Before she could answer, Artemis stepped up. "Actually, I'll do it."
Magi looked a little disappointed, but she followed Artemis to the door. "It was sweet of you to offer."
Jaime stared at the place she had been, until the Scarab noticed.
I would help you, Jaime Reyes, but even I cannot understand the mind of a female. Great, a sarcastic Scarab. Deal with it later. There are more important things. Like her phone number or her address. I can help. He was laughing. He was enjoying Jaime's pain.
"Fine, help me." Bart and Virgil stared at him like he had a second head.
Okay, I'm not 'tech-smart'. I've been trying to do a fanfiction since the last Young Justice episode aired, couldn't understand it. I still don't, I learning don't put pressure on me. This story starts out weird. It gets better at chapter 4; these next build the walls up. There are some points:
Wally is dead, underworld-dead.
This has Percy and them in their 40s, their kids are teenagers.
Magi and Zatanna are both daughters of Hecate. They just don't like each other. Sister fight, trust me I can speak.
Magi can shadow-travel.
Black Canary is Magi's therapist.
Green Arrow and Canary are the only leaguers that know who Magi is.
Magi's alter ego is Margret Sorcellerie.
So, I done for now…
