Chapter 1 A Mission and Introductions
It was a fairly boring day for the team as they had no missions or training. Consequently everyone was hanging out in the living room. Wally was eating something as usual, M'gann was baking something in the kitchen which was probably cookies again, Robin was typing something on his laptop and it wasn't a summer project as he had finished those within a couple weeks of the holidays, Aqualad and Zatanna were both reading, well Zatanna was studying her spellbook, Artemis was sorting out her arrows, and Conner was sitting on the couch while Rocket was flipping through the TV channels. The team were all doing normal activities except for one.
Robin looked up from his laptop to see Cardinal still pacing back and forth muttering to herself. He smirked and called over to her, "You know wearing a hole in the floor isn't going to make them come in any faster." Cardinal stopped pacing and glared at Robin.
She opened her mouth to retort when Wally butted in, "Who's coming in? Do you two Bats know of a mission we don't?"
Robin chuckled, "No my sister's just fretting over her exam results that haven't come in yet."
Wally looked disappointed, "Exams? They aren't that important. You had me thinking we'd be getting a mission."
Robin groaned as Cardinal stared at Wally looking insulted, "You shouldn't have said that."
Wally looked robin in surprise as Cardinal told him off, "I'll have you know Wally that these exams are very important since they'll determine what classes I'll be able to take for the next two years. And-" She broke off as he communicator beeped.
"That was lucky," Robin said to Wally. "You got off easy. One of our friends came over the other day and she asked pretty much the same question. Car went on about those exams for about ten minutes. Where are you going Car?"
Cardinal looked over at Robin from where she was heading to the Zeta tubes. "The Cave for a minute. Won't be-"
Batman's voice came over the speakers, "Team report to the mission room."
"Finally!" Wally cried and sped over to the mission room with the others following including Cardinal who was grumbling about Batman's lousy sense of timing. They were all slightly shocked to see Dr. Fate standing next to Batman. Zatanna glanced down in grief briefly and Robin put his arm around her comfortingly. "So what's the mission? And why is Dr. Fate here?"
Batman glared slightly at Wally, "Dr. Fate is here to explain the particulars of your mission which will last through July but doesn't actually start until October." Cardinal looked shocked at this and was about to ask Batman about school when he continued. "I'll make arrangements with your schools so you won't have classes all day but Cardinal since your school is a little more complicated, you'll be backup if there is any need." Cardinal nodded wondering what sort of mission would be that long.
"In December I reestablished connections between the Justice League and the wizarding world," Dr. Fate explained. Before anyone could voice their confusion, he continued. "I'll be providing you all with some reading in the next couple days so that you will know what to expect because the Minister of Magic agreed to have you participate in the Triwizard Tournament that is being held at Hogwarts this year." Cardinal's eyes widened behind her sunglasses in shock at the same time as Wally twitched in shock. "Whichever one of you is chosen to compete will have to survive three tasks. We have to be at Hogwarts the last week of October so be ready by then." With that Dr. Fate turned and left.
Batman looked at the team, "That's all for now. You're dismissed. Robin, Cardinal I believe you two had plans. If you aren't back at the Batcave in five minutes they'll be cancelled." Robin and Cardinal grinned as Batman left.
"See ya!" Robin called as he hopped on Wally's back. Wally sped over to the Zeta tubes and they left.
"Well I gotta go too," Cardinal said smiling. She headed to the Zeta tubes grabbing Artemis's arm as she passed her. "You're coming with me Artemis. We already cleared it with your mom." Artemis looked confused but Cardinal wouldn't let her ask any questions before activating the Zeta tubes to take both of them to the Batcave. "Welcome to the Batcave Artemis." Cardinal said as they stepped out of the tube. "I finally managed to convince Bats to tell you my secret id."
Artemis looked at Cardinal about to say something when Dick slung an arm over her shoulder and took a picture of the two of them saying, "Remember this Arty?"
Artemis spun to look at him her mouth dropping open as Cardinal and Wally laughed. "Wait Dick Grayson? You're Robin?"
Dick smirked, "Told you we'd laugh about that someday."
Cardinal chuckled taking off her sunglasses, "I still can't believe you did that though it is exactly the kind of thing you would do Dick."
Dick cackled, "I know Vi!"
"Violet Grayson," Violet said to Artemis smiling and shaking her hand.
"Her first name is really Aurora but she uses her middle name instead," Wally commented walking over eating a granola bar.
"It's a little too formal for me," Violet said shrugging.
Dick cackled again. "You'd be surprised how many detentions she gets for pulling pranks at school."
Artemis laughed, "I don't think I want to know especially if she's anything like you Dick. What school do you go to anyway Ca- Violet? I know you don't go to Gotham Academy or Gotham North since I never saw you there."
"She goes to a fancy schmancy foreign school," Dick answered for Violet who gave him a playful shove.
"It's not that fancy! Why are we talking down here anyway? Come on Artemis I'll give you a tour of the manor. They left the Batcave and during the tour the boys left to go play videogames. "And finally we have the kitchen." Violet told Artemis as they walked in.
"I'm surprised Baywatch isn't in here," Artemis chuckled.
"I daresay Master Wally will be in here soon," Alfred said pulling two batches of cookies out of the oven.
Violet laughed, "Artemis this is Alfred, butler, grandfather, and maker of the best cookies ever. Which we might want to grab before Wally smells them."
Alfred chuckled slightly, "Give them a minute to cool off. Do you have your trunk packed Miss Violet?" Violet nodded as she grabbed a couple cookies just before Wally skidded to a stop in the kitchen. "Oh yes a letter came for you earlier. I put it on your desk." Violet swallowed a bite of her cookie and dropped it on her plate before she sped out of the room past Dick.
"I take it her letter came," Violet heard Dick say as she climbed the stairs. When she reached her desk she spotted the yellowish envelop with emerald green writing instantly. She opened it with shaky fingers and pulled out the pieces of parchment that were inside. One she recognized as her list of new supplies which for some reason included dress robes while the other read:
Ordinary Wizarding Level Results
Pass Grades
Outstanding (O)
Exceeds Expectations (E)
Acceptable (A)
Fail Grades
Poor (P)
Dreadful (D)
Troll (T)
Aurora Violet Grayson has achieved:
Ancient Runes O
Arithmancy O
Astronomy O
Care of Magical Creatures E
Charms O
Defense Against the Dark Arts O
Herbology O
History of Magic E
Potions O
Transfiguration O
Violet let out a sigh of relief. It was pretty much what she'd expected since Care of Magical Creatures wasn't all that interesting. History of Magic tended to send her to sleep like her classmates and it was only her Bat training that helped her absorb information while she didn't pay attention. She folded the letters back up and put them in her trunk so she didn't forget her shopping list on which she'd already crossed out dress robes since she had so many fancy dresses from the various galas and charity balls she had to attend as Bruce Wayne's ward. Violet headed downstairs hoping that her cookies were still intact.
"So how'd you do on your exams?" Dick asked passing Violet her plate that he'd been keeping an eye on for her.
"Pretty good. Eight were the equivalent of A's and the other two were the equivalent of B's one of which I was half asleep in every time and I am consequently dropping this year.
"When does your school year start?" Artemis asked.
"The first of September though I'm staying at with two of my best friends for the week before. I leave tomorrow about 5:30."
"What are we doing talking about school for?" Wally asked pouting slightly as Alfred put the rest of the cookies away. "I say we have a videogame tournament before dinner and then a movie night."
Dick rolled his eyes. "Movie night was already planned."
Artemis grinned, "I will kick your ass at videogames Baywatch."
Violet laughed smirking. "Hey Wally you beat my high score yet?" when Wally's face fell and he sped from the room she cackled. "Didn't think so." Artemis laughed and the two of them followed the boys out of the room.
