Warning(s): AU, crossover, coarse language, violence

Note(s): I posted a COTT crossover with YJ prompt on the YJAM and wound up filling it myself. This is the result. It takes place in its own little universe and is going to be only about 4, 5, maybe, in a stretch, 6 chapters.

The Warriors of the Deities

II

/ Does the name Thadius Sinclair, or Sinclair Ranches, mean anything to anyone? / M'gann questioned over their com-link.

/ Thadius is the guy in charge of Sinclair Ranches, / Robin pointed out.

/ Is there any connection between him and New Olympia? / asked Kaldur'ahm.

/ Let's see, / Robin paused, scanning through the information he had picked up on his wrist computer in the alley in Chinatown. / Yeah, actually. His daughter, Theresa, goes to Olympus High School. /

/ Makes sense, it is a boarding school, / Artemis commented.

/ Conner, Wally, see if you can find her around the school. Ask her some questions. See what she thinks about the creatures and the Titans, / Kaldur advised.

"Sweet, got the picture Rob," Wally grinned. "Wow, she's hot."

Conner opted to not comment on Theresa's attractiveness. He just began to head for the school itself. Wally jogged to catch up and they crossed the road to reach the school with the status of Atlas holding up the planet in its centre court. The school looked normal enough. Especially in a city that was enamoured by Greek stuff. Normal kids milling about. There were no uniforms, the boarding school was pretty lax in terms of the stereotypical boarding school stuff. There were the usual groups, punks, preps, jocks, geeks etc. Conner and Wally blended right in.

"You new?" a girl with brown hair pulled back into a low ponytail and wearing a pink t-shirt questioned as they walked by the main office at the front of the school.

"Uh…" Wally paused. "Yeah. New students."

"Cool! I just thought I'd ask since, like, I know everyone here." She chuckled. "I'm Stephanie, Field Hockey Striker, Student Body Secretary and the usual person to show new people around. What're your names?"

"I'm Wally, this is Conner."

"You're both new? Are you related or something because usually it takes weeks before the new kids find each other. Well, except for Atlanta and them. They got together right away. Kind of weird, but whatev'. She's one of our best players."

"Yeah, uh, brothers," Wally said, plastering a wide grin on his face. "Uh, adopted."

"Cool. So this is obviously the main office, where we'll grab your schedules and stuff." She pushed open the door and led them into the standard main office as Wally blanched and hung back, hurriedly communicating over his com-link that him and Conner were apparently new students. "Hi, Angelia!"

Angelia, the main secretary, looked up and beamed as Stephanie walked into the office, "I thought you were leaving, Stephanie!"

"I was, but then I bumped into Wally and Conner. They're new students, apparently."

In the back, speaking to a plump woman who appeared to be in charge, the principal, maybe, was a small boy with a complexion at least four shades darker than Kaldur's in a red hoodie, brown pants and glasses who paused mid-sentence at Stephanie's announcement. Both him and the olive-complexioned woman in the suit turned and raised eyebrows. Angelia raised an eyebrow, "Really? I wasn't aware that we were expecting new students today. Just one moment boys. May as well take a seat."

"Must have been pretty last minute, huh boys?" the plump woman with the olive complexion chortled. "Call me Hestia. I'm the Headmistress here. But you already knew that, huh?"

"It was pretty last minute. Y'know, Dad got a new job, short notice and all," Wally shrugged.

"Well you'll enjoy it here! Never a dull moment!" She laughed then turned and headed back to her office, "C'mon Odie, we'll talk in here." The boy with the glasses and red hoodie followed her.

Stephanie chirped up, "Hestia is right! Never a dull moment here! I mean, last Field Hockey Tourney we were up against this team, omigod, they were the biggest Field Hockey players I've ever seen in my entire life! Super-buff. And they totally kicked our butts, unfortunately. But we've gotten a lot better!"

Conner raised an eyebrow, "Thought that Atlanta girl was supposed to be good."

"She is! So's Theresa. They're two of our best players. I mean, Bella is awesome too, then there's AJ. She's one of the best goalies we've had. But Atlanta's the fastest."

"Theresa?"

"Yeah, Theresa Sinclair. She tried to buy like, fifty Balloon-O-Grams for Valentine's Day last year. Student Council couldn't let her though. It was hilarious. Took ages for her and Jay to get together. Half of the school was like, augh, someone just grab them and shove them in a closet or something! Y'know?"

"You know where Theresa and Atlanta hang out?"

"Them and the guys are usually by their lockers or in their dorms or on the field. Why?"

"I'm a big fan of her dad's ranches," Wally blurted out.

Stephanie gave him an odd look, "You're a fan of…cows?"

"Er..."

Conner cut in, "He likes meat."

"Don't say that to Atlanta," Stephanie advised. "She's a hardcore vegan. Green Alliance and everything. Keeps on trying to get her boyfriend to become a vegetarian. He isn't buying it. Does drink soy milk though." Stephanie paused and wrinkled her nose, "Why do I even know that? God, I know way too much about this school."

"Okay, here are your schedules boys. Wally and Conner Eastman," Angelia announced, handing the printed copies to them along with an envelope. "Then in the envelope are all of the extra sheets you need your parents to sign."

"Can I see?" Stephanie asked.

Wally handed her his schedule mutely. She raised an eyebrow, "AP Chemistry first. Hey, Odie's in that, right Odie?"

The guy in the red hoodie stepped out of Hestia's office and nodded, "Yeah, I am. Want me to show him the labs?"

"That'd be awesome," Stephanie nodded, glancing at Conner's schedule, "He's got the same. Hey, Odie, are you alright with showing them around? I've really got to meet with Gil."

"Student Body President," Odie explained for Conner and Wally's benefit. "Yeah, sure, no problem. Didn't you bring anything for class?"

Conner shrugged as Stephanie left, "Bring it later."

Odie raised an eyebrow, "Alright. AP Chemistry then." He questioned as soon as they started walking outside of the main office, "You're interested in Therri because you like meat? Seriously?"

"I really like meat," Wally maintained.

"Man, she's hot. I'm not blind. She knows she's hot. Everyone knows she's hot. But she's dating Jay. And man, you are not going to succeed in getting between them. Besides, Theresa and Jay are my friends. You don't get to mess with my friends without me crashing your computer to the point of no return."

"Dude, seriously, I just like meat."

Odie raised a disbelieving eyebrow.

"Odie! Little buddy!" a guy bigger than Conner proclaimed as he shut his locker.

"Hey Herry, just showing some new kids around."

Herry frowned and stared at Conner, "You look a lot like that Superboy guy."

Conner glared. Wally turned bright red, "Coincidences! Love'em!"

"No, I mean, you look a lot like Superboy. It's creepy."

"It really is," a guy with purple hair said, leaning forward past Herry's shoulder.

Herry barely glanced back at him, "Hey Archie."

"Hey."

Wally blinked. When had that guy gotten here? He was like a freaking ninja. Like Robin.

Conner's glare intensified. Neither Herry nor Archie seemed bothered by it. Herry just stared at him. Archie glared right back.

"Herry's right," another guy commented. Blond and with cheekbones to rival Kaldur's. "You look exactly like Superboy." He reached out and poked Conner's face, somehow managing to pull back and out of Conner's reach before Conner's hand wrapped around his wrist and possibly broke it. The blond leaned back and pulled out a gold mirror with an 'N' engraved on it, "Yup, he's definitely Superboy." He began inspecting his perfectly straight, perfectly white teeth for imperfections.

Wally laughed, loudly, "As if he could be Superboy! That's so funny!"

Archie, Herry, Odie and the blond guy stared at him. The blond shook his head, "No. I'm never wrong about appearances. Appearances are my 'thing'. Like Archie's thing is wearing clashing sweatsuits." He ignored the glare Archie shot him. "Conner's Superboy, Oliver Queen's Green Arrow, you're Kid Flash, etcetera etcetera."

"You're just spouting off random guesses," Conner crossed his arms, glowering.

"Yeah, but I'm the luckiest person here."

"That's true," Archie nodded. "Neil is the luckiest person on the planet. Never toss a coin against him. He always wins."

"Scientifically proven," Odie added.

"So the question is…" Archie smirked, "What are Superboy and Kid Flash doing here?"

"Probably investigating that stuff about the Titans," Odie shrugged. "Standard stuff."

"Here?" Neil questioned. "Besides Mr. D's hideous toupee there isn't much sinister stuff here."

"Wally's interested in Therri because he likes meat," Odie added.

"Meat?" Herry repeated. "I like meat too but I'm not interested in the ranch, or Theresa for that matter. As long as it's edible it's good. Ugh, now I want a burger."

"So do I," another guy commented, joining the group.

"Jay, guess what," Archie said in greeting to the new guy, "Wally here AKA, according to Neil, Kid Flash, is interested in your girlfriend because he likes meat. A lot."

Jay raised an eyebrow and looked at Wally, "You know that could be taken a couple of ways, right? Either you want to eat my girlfriend…which is a really bad idea because she'll kick your ass, and then so will I, and everyone else here, plus Atlanta-"

"Who'll kick your ass double-hard," Archie interjected.

"Yeah, that. Or, you like her Dad's ranches. Which is just…really weird. Even by my standards."

"Batman's gonna kill us," Wally groaned.

"So Robin, Kid Flash and Superboy are here," Jay raised an eyebrow. "Probably Aqualad too then. Cool."

"Artemis?" Archie suggested. "As in sidekick of Green Arrow Artemis not our – er – that, Artemis."

"Probably," Odie shrugged. "Internet's all about the sidekicks forming a team. Especially since that whole adult's world and kid's world thing. Miss Martian's probably in it too. Rocket maybe. Zatanna."

"Crappiest day ever," Archie intoned irritably.

Murmurs of agreement spread through the group.

Jay pulled out his cell and frowned, swearing under his breath. He turned to his friends, "Hey, guys, we still have a group project to do. Due tomorrow, remember?" He waved the cell as if it was evidence of the group project.

"Ugh…can't it wait?" Neil complained. "I have a mani-pedi in an hour."

"If we go now we could finish it in thirty minutes," Archie pointed out as Herry grabbed him.

"Don't you have English in an hour?" Odie questioned.

"Yeah. Skipping it," Neil said with a shrug. Odie rolled his eyes.

"Odie, have you gotten that computer stuff done yet?" Jay questioned.

"Yeah, I'll come. You guys can find your "classes" yourselves. It isn't that hard," Odie said.

Wally and Conner watched them leave. Conner frowned, "They were lying."

"About a group project?"

"Yeah."

"Follow?"

"Yeah."

A/N: Hope you enjoyed this chapter with the COTT guys shamelessly trolling Wally and Conner. Also, take a gander as to who Gil, Bella, AJ, Angelia and Hestia are. I have yet to find a way to include Stephanie in that line-up, unfortunately.

Oh, and in case you haven't figured it out yet, here's how I'm distinguishing different modes of speaking: (by 'standard language' I mean the dominant language in that particular scene, for this story it'll be either English or Greek)

"Talking regularly, in the standard language."

::: Talking telepathically, in the standard language. :::

/ Talking over com-link, in the standard language. /

~::: Talking telepathically in a non-standard language. :::~

~/ Talking over com-link in a non-standard language. /~

~"Talking regularly (verbally) in a non-standard language."~
