Welcome back everybody! Happy two days after Easter! So hope you liked the last chapter. So I've been rewatching Young Justice and I just did a reread of The Heroes of Olympus, so I'm getting some more ideas for the story. Thanks for that one review!
Rocker on: Thanks for the review. The story definitely isn't going to be that violent. Also, I'm not going around giving out spoilers or anything.
Lastly, for those who were wondering, the time gap between the years of Young Justice and Heroes of Olympus does not exist. Just making stuff easier. Now on with show! Story. Whatevs, I don't care.
Show.
hehehehehe
Reyna
Reyna had no time. She was too busy as praetor to do anything, even take a day off. After the giant Polybotes attacked, the Romans hadn't even had time to clean up before the Argo II arrived and accidentally fired on New Rome. Also, some of the Romans had made it their duty to find Leo Valdez, because he had killed Gaea. It had been one month since the Romans came back to California, and Centurion Hazel Levesque was out on patrol duty. Suddenly her fellow praetor Frank Zhang burst into the room awkwardly. He held something wrapped in tinfoil.
He said, "Lunch." Then Frank grimaced. "Um, and, you better come outside. There's something you'll want to see."
Reyna sighed."Listen, Frank, you know I'm busy. Can you please handle it? The citizens of New Rome are complaining about the plumbing problem."
"Reyna." She could hear the murmuring outside already.
Frank continued, "Reyna, you have to come. A mortal saw, and is inside, the city."
Reyna followed the praetor outside and blinked. The boy was in some kind of costume... she couldn't tell what it was. It had a red lightning bolt pictured on it, and Reyna's first thought was, Zeus! No, Jupiter, no, Zeus! She could never tell which one it was anymore. Was this mortal boy some kind of sign from Zeus or Jupiter? She turned around to speak to Frank, when the boy yelled, "Zatanna! Finally, a familiar face..." He shut his mouth when Reyna swirled around and gave him the eyes that could make anyone whimper.
But this boy stayed firm and said, "Um, you're not Zatanna. So, I need answers." And then he talked so fast it made Reyna dizzy. "Howdidigetherewhatdoyouwantfrommewhydidyouarrestmeandwherearemyfriendswheresartemis?"Reyna shook her head and held up the food wrapped in tinfoil.
"First, you must answer to me. And eat. You have a long day ahead of you."
Percy
Ah, enduring the horrors of English class.
Annabeth being a smarty-pants and answering everything.
It was ninth period on the first day of school and Percy was dying to get out. So far, the only class he wasn't slumping down in his chair for was lunch, where he was sitting with Annabeth and this kid just walked up to him. He sat next to them for the rest of lunch. Probably a demigod, because no one usually sat with him other than satyrs and other demigods. But of course, Percy always excelled at lunch. He knew he was failing everything else. He especially excelled at failing Science. He also had missed a year of school because of the wrath/glory of Hera's little exchange program plan. But, you know, the New Rome college was going to be letting him in anyway. He just had to pass the SATs and DSTOMPS. But Sally Jackson would never approve if he failed. I mean, she loved him even when he did destroy schools, but with the baby on the way, she was being extra-protective even for grades. Finally, the Zeus of school happened - the bell rang. Percy rushed out of school as quick as a flash... Quick as a flash? Where had he gotten that flash idea? He hoped he wasn't being manipulated. He'd had enough of that for a lifetime. Anyway, he still waited for Annabeth to come out of school.
Annabeth said, "Seriously, Percy, do you have to rush out like that?"
"C'mon, Wise Girl. You know how much I want to get out."
"I know." She kissed Percy on the cheek. Then a voice giggled.
"Sorry to interrupt," Piper said, smirking. "But you need to come with us." She motioned to Jason, who was at her heels.
She didn't need to use charmspeak to tell them that something was wrong.
Jason flew them back to Camp Jupiter and they stopped at the border of the city. Percy could already feel the tension at the camp. Everyone was murmuring and whispering.
Jason said, "Well, Reyna won't tell us much, but basically there's a mortal at camp."
Artemis
Artemis had stopped crying a while ago. But, of course, they were happy tears. Wally was alive! They had been scouting the area to see if Wally had left any trace like he left his goggles. But Artemis wondered if he hadn't meant to leave his goggles on the roadside. M'gann had been keeping her company, giving her words of encouragement.
Suddenly they caught a glimpse of a huge... thing. It looked like a giant boar, but boars in Northern California. Artemis crossed that out on her probability list. Raquel said, "Was that me, or was that..." Aqualad sighed. "I believe we all saw it."
Zatanna shook her head. "I can feel that magic is strong here." Then she winced. Her eyes opened widely. "We have to get out of here!" The boar jumped out of nowhere and knocked Rocket out of the air. Miss martian yelled telepathically, Get behind me! They all did and M'gann used her telekinesis to blast the bull. But it only worked a little and pushed it only a few feet. M'gann said, It's resisting me telepathically!
Artemis said, Cover me. She dove under the creature's legs and tied them together with a tether. Conner came up and punched the giant monster.
It's not enough, he yelled. As if on cue, the boar writhed in pain. The team looked up to see a terrifying bronze dragon flying in the sky. Artemis could see two figures riding on its back. Nightwing commanded, "Stay back, team!" Fire came from the saddle of the dragon, so much fire that there was only a pile of dust when the smoke cleared.
Superboy mused, "What the..." The mechanical dragon descended so that they could see two figures: an impish Latino boy and breathtakingly beautiful girl with amber hair. There was an eerie silence. Then the Latino boy spoke. "Well, only three days! It took Percy 8 months." Aqualad walked up to the boy and held out his hand.
"I suppose we should thank you for rescuing us."
The little elf boy (at least that's what Artemis thought of him) said, "Eh, don't mention it," and shook Kaldur's hand furiously. "I'm Leo Valdez and this is my mamacita Calypso."
The girl, Calypso, said, "What did I tell you about calling me mamacita?"
"Anyway, who are you? You saw the Colchis bull, so are you demigods?" There was a chatter.
"Demi- what now?" Raquel questioned. Leo laughed. "You need a lot of explaining. But first, a few dozen people are lining up to kill me."
Wally
Wally ate a cheeseburger, a caesar salad, a bowl of pasta, and two slices of pie for dinner. Best of all, he asked for it and he got it. Then, after thinking this place was pretty cool, he got taken in for questioning.
The girl's name was Reyna. She had long dark hair pulled back into a braid. She said she was the prehter of the Twelfth Legion Fulminata or whatever that looked about 16 or 17, but she had a serious look in her eyes and she gave him the death glare whenever he talked without permission.
The next girl's name was Hazel. She was the person who captured her when he "stumbled upon" this place. She was definitely 14. She had a warm look in her eyes, but seriously. The girl spoke like she was from the 40s (which Wally later found out she was! ummmmm...). She was a centurion.
Lastly was the boy, Frank. He seemed uncomfortable interrogating someone who had just happened to stumble upon this place. He was also a praetor. How many were there? He looked around 15.
Reyna asked the first question. "Why are you here?"
Wally sighed. 'Well, last thing I remember is saving the world, then whoosh! I end up in Cali and weird people capture me. No offense." He said to Hazel.
"None taken." Reyna narrowed her eyes. Frank twiddled with his thumb then asked the next question. "What is your family situation?"
"Well, I live with my mom and dad. Why?"
"Never mind for now." Questionable. Reyna took the next move.
"What are your abilities?" Ugh, no. This is where it gets hard to explain.
"Ha. Not allowed to say."
"And why would that be?"
"This is odd, but I think I'm in an alternate dimension. I don't think I'm on Earth-16 anymore."
"Ah. Explain." Wally took a deep breath.
"Okay. So you know superheroes, right?"
"No."
"You know, Superman, Batman, the one and only Flash!"
"No!"
"Yup. Alternate universe. Can I trust you?"
Hazel ut his hand on his. "Yes you can trust us." And he knew he could.
"Okay. I want you to watch this." His superhuman speed hadn't been working before. He trusted himself. He laid out his hand and watched it move at an alarming speed, getting faster and faster every second. Hazel and Frank gasped and moved back, but Reyna studied the hand. Yes! It works!
"Who are you?"
"I'm Wally West, Kid Flash, speedster - " Reyna looked up.
"Son of Hermes."
So, hoped you liked it! I will try to update as frequently as possible, but I have a lot of stuff going on. Please review!
