I have no idea how I came up with this.

Sorry about not updating my other stories, I just have a MAJOR blank on what to do. For all of them.

And eventually I came up with this.

I do not own PJO or YJ, but I'm exited for the next YJ episode to come out cause I REALLY want to see what happens.

This is set during the time skip. For YJ. And for PJO, pretend that Percy and Annabeth didn't fall in the pit in Mark of Athena. Set after that.


CHAPTER 1

Dick Grayson collapsed on the couch. He put his head in his hands.

"DUDE!" KF yelled. "WHERE WERE YOU FOR THE PAST WEEK(1)?"

Dick looked up and blinked sadly. "Nowhere." He slumped forward and put his head in his hands again.

The rest of the team stared at him. "Robin, you look like-"

"I was fighting for my sanity for a week?" Dick let out a strained laugh, still not taking his head from his hands. "Yeah, that's about it."

Kaldur blinked at him. "That was not what I was going to say."

Dick sighed. "Whatever."

Artemis raised an eyebrow at him. "So you were captured by Joker?"

Dick snorted. "Joker? Oh, God no. Not him. Something worse. WAY worse."

KF raised his eyebrows. "What's worse than the Joker?"

"Giants and their freaking megalomaniacal, homicidal mother." Dick muttered under his breath in Greek so no one could hear him and/or understand him.

"Huh?" KF asked. "Couldn't hear you."

Dick rolled his eyes. Though no one could see it with the glasses. "I said, it's a secret."

KF pouted. "Oh, come on, dude!"

"No." Dick smirked.

KF sighed and zoomed over to Artemis and stole her quiver. "Come and get it!" He hollered, already halfway across the mountain.

"Get back here, you-!" She screamed, racing after him.

Dick took the opportunity while everyone was distracted to shadow travel to camp. KF would be satisfied by that answer, but he knew that the others weren't, and with Miss Martian there . . .

Yeah, probably a good idea to split.

He formed in his cabin and shook off his "Robin" persona and brought up one of his other ones. Nico di Angelo.


"Hey, Nico? you in there?" Percy called

"Yeah. Come in."

Percy walked in to find his cousin staring at the ceiling from the couch. "What's wrong?"

"My secrets," Nico grumbled.

Percy blinked. "What d'you mean?"

Nico glanced at him. "I get tired of having secrets."

"What secrets? You can tell me, you know."

Nico shook his head. "No, I can't tell you. B-" He stopped himself before he could say Batman would kill me. "But I could show you. And it's unlikely you'd believe me, anyway."

"I'd believe anything you'd say."

Nico snorted. "Be careful with that statement." He conjured a piece of paper seemingly from midair. "Meet my secret there, tomorrow night."

Percy raised an eyebrow at him. "How can I 'meet your secret'?"

"Just trust me," Nico said, before shoving him out the door and slamming it behind him.

Percy stared at the door. "Touchy," He muttered. Then he glanced at the paper and his eyes went wide. It said, "The Gotham City Theater where Bruce Wayne lost his parents, in Gotham City."

Gotham. Gotham city. Nico wanted to meet in Gotham City. Even demigods don't go there, and for good reason.

Gotham was inhabited by insane mortal criminals, so demigod weapons won't hurt them. Except for Poison Ivy, who was a child of Demeter, then went insane and someone dumped chemicals on her, making her a living plant. She was at camp, under an alias, Ivy Green, though not many people knew who she was.

Percy sighed. He didn't want to figure out Nico's secret that bad, but he didn't want to leave the poor kid alone there. He decided to take a look around the City before he was supposed to meet Nico. He vaporized, water traveling,(2) and in moments he was in Gotham. Not as fast as shadow traveling, but much more pleasant.

He condensed in front of the theater.

After a moment of looking around, a man's voice yelled, "Hey, you!" Percy whipped around and saw a man fast walking towards him. "Give me your money." He held a gun level to Percy's face.

Percy put his hands up. "Alright, alright. Here." He slowly reached for riptide. While it wouldn't hut the man, it would distract him. But before he could . . .

"Heeeheeeheeeheeeheee . . ."

The man paled and backed away, trying to hide his gun. "No, please . . . please! Don't take me away! I have a wife and kids!"

"Ha. Everyone uses the wife and kids thing. You think I'm going to believe you?"

The man whirled around to face and upside down Boy Wonder. "Boo." Robin smirked.

The man screamed and ran.

Robin shook his head in mock sorrow. "Well, that guy sucks at this." He turned to Percy. "Are you o-" He trailed off and his eyes widened. "Um. Bye."

He disappeared.

Percy raised an eyebrow. What just happened?

"Hello there." Percy whipped around to find Poison Ivy staring at him.

Her face morphed into shock. "What? What the Hades is a demigod doing here?"

"Looking for someone?" Percy suggested. "I was told to meet someone here tomorrow, so I decided to see what it's like here."

Pamela rolled her eyes. "Bad idea, half blood."

"Why?"

"Most of the Gotham villains are loose. Actually, all of 'em except Joker and Harley. Poor girl, stuck in love with a man who'll never love her back . . . Anyway, to the point. It's not safe for someone to go wandering around right now. The only person a demigod can protect herself or himself from is me. And I'm not attacking a demigod anytime soon."


Robin watched in amusement as Percy water traveled away right after Pamela said that.

He dropped in front of her. "You seem perfectly happy attacking me, Pam."

Pam raised an eyebrow. "You're different, birdie. You can take care of yourself and you don't carry Celestial bronze around wherever you go."

Robin sighed. "The story of my sad life. The only person besides Batman who knows my secret is a villain."

Pam smirked at him. "Yeah, well."

Robin frowned. "Um. Pack of hellhounds heading this way. Help me?"

"Sure. Like old times."(3)

Robin face palmed. "I really need to work on distinguishing when I'm at camp and when I'm out as Robin . . ." He grumbled.


(1) I think it's a week that Nico's been kidnapped. Right?

(2) I know it's not real, I just need Percy to get there fast. :)
