Hi everyone! This is ClearcloudofRiverHuffle. As you may have noticed, I put off my story Explained Through Science to make a new Pjo yj!
So, I already have a plot for this one, so please enjoy and review!
This will take place the day after Auld Acquaintance and about four months after the Second Giant War.

General P.O.V.
"So you're saying we travel into a different universe go undercover, and find Lady Artemis." Percy continued for the sixth time. His brain definitely needed time to process this.
"Exactly!" sighed the remaining eleven Olympians. Zeus grumbled, "Artemis, or Diana, has been out of the picture for a while now and we - w-we need you to go find her," It was a few months after the war and everything was virtually peaceful at Camps Half-Blood and Jupiter.
"If I could put in a word," Hecate spoke up. "I will be creating a portal to send you to a world with superheroes."
"The schools we will be sending you to are Gotham Academy, Central City High, and Happy Harbor High." Poseidon said. "We have already booked hotel rooms. Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Rachel will head to Central City. Jason, Piper, Thalia, Leo, and Calypso, will go to Happy Harbor. Lastly, Hazel, Frank, Nico, and Reyna will go to Gotham." The thirteen of them bowed and stood up. They said their goodbyes and walked into the swirling purple portals.
Gotham City

Artemis P.O.V.
Artemis's alarm rang.
She slowly got out of bed and got ready for school. She usually walked to school and met her friends Dick and Barbra. Today she walked to school and as always, passed the Gotham City Marriott. When she walked by, the doors opened to reveal four kids. The youngest looking, a girl with dark skin and curly brown hair, asked nervously, "Hi, I'm Hazel. We're new to Gotham Academy. Do you know how to get there?" Artemis perked up.
"Yeah I go there! I'm Artemis Crock."
One of the kids asked, "Artemis... like the goddess?"
"Well, yeah. Anyway what are your names?" Hazel spoke up again.
"You know me, I'm Hazel Levesque, this is my boyfriend Frank Zhang, Nico di Angelo, and Reyna Ramirez-Arellano. We just moved here from California." Soon the five of them were walking to school.
Artemis approached Reyna and said, "So you and Nico, huh?"
"No, he's like a little brother to me!" She laughed. They walked in silence the rest of the way, Frank's arm around Hazel's. When they arrived, Dick and Barbra were sitting in their usual spots and waved.
"Who're the new kids?" Dick asked. After Artemis's first day when Dick had taken the selfie, they had become good friends. She thought she knew him from somewhere, but she couldn't place it.
"This is Hazel, Frank, Reyna, and Nico. They're from California."
Babs said, "Yeah, I'm Barbra Gordon and this is Dick Grayson."
"You guys are freshmen right?" Hazel asked. Barbra and Dick nodded. "Well, I think I'll need some help with my schedule." She said something that sounded like, Modern schools... Nico hit her and she said, "Never mind!"
Whatever that was, it sounded like they were going to become good friends.
Happy Harbor, Rhode Island

M'gann P.O.V.
M'gann was devastated.
Whatever had happened to Gar that night, it was bad. Really really bad. When she had put in the blood transplant, she saved his life, but it did something else too. His hair and skin was turning green like a martian's and who know what else. This was all her fault! Would Marie ever forgive her?
But she had to worry about other things right now. Savage had been defeated yesterday and life was pretty much back to normal, if you could say that for a superhero. She went to school in the morning as normal with Conner, who she was now officially dating. They ate breakfast at the cave with Zatanna, who had her own school to attend in Central City, and then met with Raquel who also went to Happy Harbor High. A/N - I don't know what schools Zatanna and Rocket actually went to, so I need them to go to other Team member's schools.
It was snowing, but not a snow day, so it was nice to walk outside and feel the snow on her skin. It was better than last time, when the snow was artificial and caused by big machines that were actually evil. Yesterday, they had saved the world, so pretty much a normal day. When they got to school, M'gann, now in Megan form, found her cheerleading squad friends and talked about the latest school news. Karen and Mal were there, with a new group of kids Megan had never seen before. There was a boy with short-cut blond hair, a girl with choppy brown hair with a feather, a girl with short black hair with blue in it, a boy with curly dark hair, and a girl with caramel-colored hair.
Meghan ran over to them, Conner in close pursuit. "Hi! I'm Megan Morse! Are you guys new?"
The girl with the feather, who looked like she was trying to hide her beauty but was failing, said, "Yeah! Nice to meet you! My name's Piper McLean, this is Jason and Thalia Grace, Leo Valdez, and Calypso Atlas!" Calypso seemed to scowl at this last name, but no one took any notice.
"Calypso. Odd name." Megan hit Conner.
What was that for?! Conner asked in the physic link.
a) That's rude! and b) A lot of people have weird names. Megan snapped back. Conner tensed. But Conner was right. There was just something off about these kids.
"Maybe our parents were just weird..." Leo said with a smirk.
Karen asked the Graces, "So you guys are twins?"
"Yeah!" Thalia said, a little too enthusiastically.
"No, she's my old- Ow!" Thalia nabbed Jason in the arm. "We are totally twins."
"Umm, okay." Mal continued on. He motioned to Jason. "So, dude. We're having tryouts for the b-ball team after school tomorrow. You look like some good material."
"Yeah, totally! I love basketball!" Megan had a feeling he'd never played in his life. But Piper had the same idea. She glared at him. The bell rang for school to start.
"Well, I'll see you in classes, I hope!" Piper said, and then pulled Jason aside. They seemed to be having a heated conversation. Conner stayed behind. Megan grabbed him by the arm, but he said, "I'll be there in a sec." Megan nodded and raced to her first period.
During history class, Megan asked Thalia, Calypso, and Piper if they wanted to be on the cheerleading squad. Piper said yeah sure, Calypso just looked confused, and Thalia was like, "No way am I going to be out there looking like an idiot rooting for boys!" But Piper and Calypso decided to try out. Megan thought Thalia would be a good match with Raquel.
Right before lunch, Conner approached Megan and said, "Look, I listened on Piper and Jason's conversation this morning with my super-hearing."
"You stalked them?"
"No, it's not like that. Umm, can I show it to you?" Megan nodded and looked into Conner's mind for the scenario.
"No way you're trying out for that team!" Piper said.
"But why not! It would be fun." Jason complained.
"Hands on the mission, hands off the extracurricular activities. If we don't find our missing goddess Artemis, the gods won't agree on anything." Jason gave her puppy dog eyes.
Piper sighed. "Fine, Lightning Boy. You can do your basketball thingy."
"Yes! You're the best girlfriend ever, Pipes." They kissed and walked another way.
"Do you even know how to play basketball?"
"No way, we only trained at camp..."
Megan gaped.
"I'm texting Aqualad." Conner whispered.
Central City

Wally P.O.V.
Wally was proud.
He was going to give the new kids a tour today, who were apparently Long Island exchange students. The principal finally let Wally do the important job, which was all that mattered, though. He whistled his way to school and went to the main office to meet these newbies. When he got there, he found a boy with dark messy hair, a girl with curly blonde hair, a boy with curly brown hair tucked under a rasta cap, and a girl with red frizzy hair.
"Well, hello there!" Wally sped his way over to the desk. "My name is Wally West. And who would you fanciful people be?" He said to mostly the girls in particular. Even though he liked Artemis, he still had a knack for pretty girls.
The black-haired boy spoke. "Wow, you sound like our friend Leo. I'm Percy Jackson, this is Annabeth Chase, Grover Underwood, and Rachel Dare." They all waved. Just then, Zatanna came rushing in.
"Hi, um, sorry I'm late!" She dropped her binder and papers flew.
"Hey, Z!" Wally yelled and rushed over to get her. The girl Rachel also came to help. Once everything was back in place, they stood up and Zatanna introduced herself.
"I'm Zatanna Zatara, and I just started coming here this year, too, after..." Her face deepened with sadness. Wally knew what she meant. Her father, Giovanni Zatara had become Doctor Fate to save them, but it had come at a high price. Doctor Fate wouldn't let Zatara back out, and Zatanna had come to live at Mount Justice. "Never mind."
"Aaaanyway," Wally mused. "We are here to give you the grand tour of Central City High!" They walked around, kids starting to flood in the doors. When Percy saw the pools, he flipped out.
"Whoa." Wally thought he was about to faint. "I've never been to a school with pools before!"
"Well, how many schools have you been to?" Zatanna asked sweetly.
"I'm not counting anymore. Around 8." Percy replied, as if this was a totally normal answer. Annabeth pecked him on the cheek, Grover laughed, which sounded more like a bleat, and Rachel just smirked. Wally's mouth opened like he was going to say something, but he quickly closed it. They proceeded out of the pool area and into the library. Wally was pretty sure Annabeth was in love. She knew exactly where the architecture books and manuals were and sat down at a table with about four of them. How did she know where those specific books were?
She cut in. "If you're wondering, every library is the same." She hastily checked the books out and the six of them went to the art room. Rachel also fell in love. She looked in all the closets, much to the dismay of the art teacher, and checked all of the bristles of the paintbrushes.
"Wow! You have pastels and watercolors and metallic sharpies and..." she breathed. "Just wow."
"What kind of stuff do you paint?" Z asked.
"Yeah, maybe you can paint something for us to see!" Wally chimed in, hoping to see these guys' talents.
"Oh, I paint a lot of stuff." Rachel said. "Sometimes wars brewing, heroes falling to their deaths, stuff like that."
"Sounds cool!" Wally said without realizing the violence. Zatanna smiled halfheartedly. As they walked halfway across the building to the music room, Annabeth and Wally talked about the possibility of wormholes.
At the music room, Grover went crazy over the woodwind instruments. He looked at a piccolo and started to pick it up, but Percy grabbed his arm. Grover did an angry bleat this time.
"Blaah! What was that for?"
"Dude, we don't want your dirty saliva all over the used instruments!" Wally said sarcastically.
Percy shrugged. "I was going to tell him not to play Born to be Wild." He shuddered. "Not a good experience."
They got back to the front desk just as the bell rang. Zatanna handed out schedules. "Well, if you guys are in any of our classes, that's great! See you guys."
"See you around," Grover said. They all waved.
This was going to be a good January.
That night, the demigod heroes went back to their hotels and started to communicate. They decided to use their H-phones. H-phones were a new technology created by Hephaestus to mask communication between demigods. They were made of Celestial bronze and had Mist magic surrounding it. Instead of regular email addresses, half-bloods used usernames instead.

After school, the superheroes went back to their residences and used their Justice League tech to communicate. They didn't go to the cave except for the people who lived there; the Justice League was giving them a well deserved break.
