Chapter 2, YAY! Thank you so much for the reviews!:D they're greatly appreciated! And if you have friends, you should totally tell them to check out this story;) Haha so anyways…Here we go!
Paige sat in an empty booth, tapping her foot and drumming her pencil on the table. She felt confused, her mind was full of cobwebs, she couldn't think straight. Everything felt so strange, what would demons want with those kids? Well…That wasn't the big question, what where they DOING with them, and what where they planning.
Obviously, this was more than just a simple case of rogue vampires, but then again, nothing was ever simple when in the Shadowhunter world.
So many questions raced through her mind, the missing students, the demon she ran into, the warlock, and Dick. Paige wondered why he had saved her, and where he had learned to fight like that. She highly doubted it was because he took classes.
"Shadowhunter, fancy seeing you here."
Paige blinked, her gaze moving to the warlock from earlier in the morning. His hair was ruffled, and his eyes were hazel, flecked with gold. She could see his cat ears much more clearly now that his glamour was gone.
"I have a name, it's Paige." She murmured, sliding her notebook into her pack.
"Ah, well nice to meet you Paige," he grinned, a puckish sparkle in his eyes, "I have a name too, it's Mason."
"It's a pleasure," Paige said, eyeing him suspiciously as he slid into the seat opposite of her, "what do you want?"
"No need to be so snappy, I just want to talk." Mason leaned back, propping his hands up behind his head, "it's come to my attention that you had a bit of a…Rumble with Nate? You know… The demon at our school."
Paige looked at him blankly, drumming her fingers on the edge of the table once again, "How do you know that?"
"I know everything that goes on at Gotham Academy dear," Mason said with a small smile before his face became very serious, "and I don't like what's going on any more than the Clave does…But what happened today, might just be the trigger to…"
"To what?" Paige asked, feeling rather lost, it seemed like such a small incident. It could have been worse, but it did blow her cover. Was she missing something? Her confidence wavered, was this too big for her? No, stop second guessing yourself Paige.
"Never mind, don't worry about it love." Mason slid out, walking away and ruffling her hair as he went.
"It's my job to worry about it." Paige muttered, watching him leave.
While walking home, Paige had decided she wouldn't tell her mother what happened today. Her mother would most likely flip, ordering she give up the investigation. Paige didn't want that to happen, she didn't want to disappoint the clave, and she needed to prove to her mother she no longer needed her to watch over her so much anymore. She could handle herself, and she could carry out official Clave business just as well as any other Shadowhunter.
What was going on at Gotham Academy, it could turn out to be something much more important than the Clave thought, and if Paige figured it out herself, they might start letting her participate in other clave business. Wouldn't that be a miracle?
Paige finally made it back to the institute. She stopped, taking a moment to gaze up at the tall spirals of the church that seemed to shoot straight up into the sky. The place truly was beautiful; it was a shame that mundies couldn't see what it really looked like.
Paige raced up the steps, wanting nothing more than to fling into her bed and sleep into oblivion. She had already worked up a plan for tomorrow, squeeze information from Mason and try to make friends with Dick. Seeing as if he was the only student she had actually talked to today, maybe he would tell her something about the missing kids.
Pulling open the heavy wooden doors, Paige peered into the foyer, locking gazes with a stranger milling near a wall.
"Well, I found some tea, though we don't have much-" Ava entered from the kitchen noticing Paige, "Oh honey! Why don't you go upstairs, I have some business to attend to right now." She said, ushering the stranger into the kitchen and flashing a quick smile at her before shutting the door.
Weird.
Maybe Paige was too tired, but she didn't give the encounter a second thought, instead she trudged upstairs and crawled into bed.

"Paige, Paige…Wake up."
Paige groaned, prying her eyes open. Her vision was blurred, though there was no mistaking that face.
"Logan, finally, you're back from Idris!" She grinned, throwing her arms around her brother's neck. He had been gone for a long time, fighting against Valentine and his army; he had stayed for a while longer to get to know a girl there. It was good to have him back, she'd felt so alone in the institute without him, only having her mom as company.
"It's good to see you too," He grinned pulling back, like Paige, he had straight brown hair, though his eyes were brown, "listen, how about we do something? I got some reports about a Scorpios Demon."
"Let's kick some ass."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
When Paige and Logan made it to the quiet street the Scorpios demon was it had already done some damage, luckily it didn't look like any people had been harmed since the street they were on was mostly occupied by Downworlder living quarters. They knew when to stay away.
"It's a bit random, a demon here…For no reason." Paige commented taking out her seraph blade.
Logan shrugged, "let's worry about that later, Paige, first…"
A loud whooshing sound flew over their head and a large red ship hovered down the street. Out dropped six figures.
"It's the Young Justice…I seriously hate these guys." Logan muttered, leaning forward in a slight crouch.
Paige's eyes widened, she nearly dropped her blade, "What do we do? This wasn't supposed to happen…They can't defeat a Scorpios demon…They shouldn't know about them either…Logan?"
Her brother bit back a smile, shaking his head, "Don't worry, we'll just kill it really quick and leave." He took out his seraph blade, "Malik." He murmured, the blade shot out, blazing blue, "they won't know what hit 'em."
The Scorpios Demon hissed at the team of Young Justice as they approached, Kid Flash began to speed around it, "I don't know what you are," he said as he circled it, "but you sure are ugly!" The demon hissed once more, flicking it's barbed tail and leaping forward with incredible speed, landing straight on top of KF, baring it's jagged teeth as it leaned in for a snap.
"Kid!" Miss Martian called out, levitating off the ground and using her telekinesis to push the demon off of him, though he did get hit, slashed across the chest.
"I think they'll notice." Paige shook her head, "Cassiel…" She mumbled to her blade, activating it, "We have to protect them, they're still mundies…At least I think they are, and well, they don't know what they're up against." Paige was mostly convincing herself at this point, since Logan was up and ready to go, "and Scorpios Demons are really poisonous, we'll have to help with that too." Extremely poisonous, actually. Paige bit her lip, this had turned into quite a bit of trouble very fast.
Two more Scorpios demons came barreling down the street, "Do they normally travel in groups?" Paige asked, glancing at her brother as they faced the incoming attack.
He simply shrugged before sprinting forward, jumping onto the demons back and slashing wildly at its head.
Nice job. Paige thought rolling her eyes before taking a couple daggers off her belt and flinging them at the second demon in pouncing position. From behind her she could still here the racket of fighting as the Young Justice took on the third Scorpios demon, she wondered if they had noticed her and Logan yet.
Jumping back she narrowly avoided a hit from its barbed tail, she swung her sword at the demons torso, missing by a centimeter.

"Artemis, look out!" Kid Flash called as the strange creature swung its tail out at the archer. She ducked down, barely missing the hit.
She aimed her bow at the wrinkled face of the creature, firing off a couple arrows. Superboy charged forward, punching the demon hard in the torso, flinging it back into a house.
The whole team paused a moment, waiting for the creature to move. Then a knife planted itself into the creatures chest, and it erupted into ichor and black goo which dissolved into nothing. The whole team turned to face two figures dressed in black holding long glowing blue swords. The smaller one, a girl, had her arm raised from throwing the knife; she lowered it to her side and smiled weakly.
"Hey there." She greeted softly, rubbing the back of her neck nervously.
Okay, so what do you think? Please review! Sorry not a lot of Young Justice…I didn't get through a lot it was kinda slow/Short, but I'll probably update tomorrow so, no worries! Thanks for reading!:D
