"This is not good." Artemis said as she paced around the living room "This is beyond bad. Megan!"
Megan and zatanna were on the couch in guilt, Wendy and the others had already left to go home. Megan was looking down as she played with the curls to her back length hair. "Artemis, I'm sorry." A tear fell down her cheek "but I had no choice, he could of died if I didn't help him. I sang I him to try to calm him down and possible fall asleep before I jumped in."
Artemis couldn't help but look into those ember eyes and sighed before taking a seat next to her on the couch. "I don't blame you, as a matter of fact, I have bad news too."
"Zatanna and Megan sat up prepared for the worse.
"You remember when my Dad went to jail right?"
"Yeah."
"What's this about?"
"Well," Artemis sat up "It seems that daddy dearest is out of jail and on top of that is working with Luthor."
"What?"
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah." Artemis ran a hand through her hair "He was the one driving the limo from yesterday."
"How did we miss that?" Zatanna asked feeling stupid. "Great, Luthor is on to us, your phyco pop is out of jail and Connor saw Megan with a fish tail for an ass." She groaned "We are terrible at this secret thing."
"We need Kaldur."
A knock was at the door.
"That was quick." Megan stood up to get to the door. The minute she unlocked the door Kaldur bursted open in the door.
"What happened!" He walked over to the girls and glared at them with his arms crossed.
"Well…" Megan closed the oor and took a seat on the couch "Connor alost drowned thanks to Lex Luthors fishing net...I think he saw me when I saved him."
"This is bad." Kaldur paced.
"Your telling us." Artmeis agreed "And on top of that, my dad's working with Luthor."
"Megan are he sure he saw you?" Kaldur asked.
"He was half way out of it but ….yes he probably did." Megan looked down "I'm sorry everyone, I've really put us in the hotspot."
Kaldur sighed as he layed a hand on her shoulder "It's alright Megan it wasn't your fault."
"Connor really was shooken up when we found him." Zatanna out in "Hope he's alright."
"Oh yeah Kaldur, we found something out." Megan sat up. "The rocks that Luthor collect to make the Kobra Venom is the same rock that's in Zatanna neckless."
"What neckless?"
"Here." Zatanna took it off and out in his hands.
Kaldur inspected the rock on the charm. "When did you get this?"
"The day after my little pool massacre, Dick gave it to me."
"Why haven't I notice this sooner? This rock is the same rock ware King Orin hid the magic that gave you your powers. No wonder why the Kobra Venom can take away your powers. What ever Luthor does to these rocks he reverses their energy within them."
"So if this is the magic that gave us our powers…"
"And this stuff practically is Kobra Venom….."
"Then it can take away our powers as well."
"Yes indeed." Kaldur gave back the necklace.
"I have a thought," Zatanna said "If Luthor can reverse the energy in them and take away our powers, can we use them to protect ourselves?"
"Hey, that actually seems possible." Artemis grinned "Kaldur, think you can do it?"
"I don't have to." Kaldur stood "Zatanna, think youcan receive any more of those stones?"
"No, but we grabbed a hand fool a few days ago, Megan?" Zatanna stood up.
"Upstairs, dresser drawer."
Zatanna headed up stairs.
"Kal, what are you doing?" Artemis asked as she watched him pour water into a bowl from the sink.
"I'm going to teach you girls a purification Atlantean spell. With it, I'm positive we can purify the stones and you girls and myself can use it for our protection. " Kaldur carried the bow to the living room table after he turned off the sink.
"You never told us, Kobra Venom could affect you as well." Megan said.
"Luckly, I wasn't as exposed to it as much as you girls last time."
"Found them!" Zatanna came running down the stairs.
"Excilent." Zatanna gave Kaldur the bag of stones before he opened them and placed two of the stones on the table in front of himself,Megan and Artemis. "Zatanna place yours in front of you."
Zatanna did as she was told.
"Join hands." They did. "Now, I want you to focus your powers on the stones. You each have a differeny type of gift besides just bending water. Zatanna is magic, Megan, telepathy, Artemis, energy, mysel , generation of electricity. Use your bond with the sea and your specific gift to purify the stone."
The four of them kept quiet for a long time before something began to happen. Their bodys began to glow in bright aura. Zatanna, red, Artemis, green, Megan, blue and Kaldur, white. While Kaldur was murmuring a spell, the girls began to open their mouths and sing their individual songs that blended so wonderfully together. Though not in the ocean, their voices still made an echoing sound. The lights in the room began to flicker on and off as the stones rose from off the table glowing the same color their body's' were. It wasn't long before the purification was over and they were all eventually all knocked out.
(The Next Day/Happy Harbor High)
"Hey Megan!" Wally called with Dick right behind him as she closed her locker.
"We heard you and Zatanna saved Connor from drowning, that was pretty cool." Wally smiled.
"No it wasn't cool. Connor could have gotten killed, I was so worried." Megan looked down as she let her forehead touch her locker door. She didn't bother picking up her book she dropped.
"Hey, what matters is that he's okay." Dick picked up her books for her "He's not here today if that's what your thinking. He caught a nasty cold last night."
"This is like the first time in years, he's gotten sick, like ever." Wally said allowed.
"Hey, that stone around your neck, it looks nice." Dick referred to the blue stone around her neck with a leather chain.
"Oh, thanks." Megan played with it as they walked down to class.
"Connor give it to you?"
"No i-"
"Dude, Artemis and Zee have the same thing. The only difference is the color, Artemis is green and your girl's is red."
"You know I think I saw Kaldur have this around his bracelet today." Dick got a closer look at the jem around her neck. "It was white. Friendship bracelet?"
"Uhhhh yeah sort of." Megan took back her books "I'll see you two around." Megan walked off.
"Hmm, shes been acting weird all day." Wally scratched the back of his head "Mayb-" His phone rang. Wally shoved it out of his back pocket before putting it to his ear. "Hello?"
(Biology)
"It's amazing, that Dick hasn't noticed that it's the same stone he gave you." Artemis whispered as they watched the video.
"Yeah, I know." Zatanna doodle on the worksheet to video.
Hey, you guys wanna grab some pizza or something after school?" I'm starving. Megan asked from the mental link.
Sure why not?
Hey guys….
Yeah Zee?
Kaldur says that our power comes from the magic King Orin hid many years ago right? That is was supposed to be used to finally free Atlantis from the curse. So shouldn't we focus on getting Atlantis back to earth?
Zee, we can't even make a move without Luthor getting in our way.
Arty is right. But we can't just forget about them. I mean the magic supposed be used to save them is within us and we just use it for our own benefit.
We'll see what we can do about that later. Luthor is already after us, we can't risk it having thousands of mystical sea creatures everywhere.
Zatanna out her chin in her palm.
Fine. She looked out the window but it doesn't mean we can't be prepared.
(After School/ Kent House)
"Thanks for coming guys." Connor said as he let Dick and Wally take a seat on his bed. Wally had a bowl of popcorn with him.
"Hey Supey, for a sick kid, you seem on alert." Wally popped a corn in his mouth.
"I just need a break is all." Connor sat down in his computer chair.
"You sounded pretty urgent on the phone, what's wrong?" Dick asked arms crossed.
"No matter what comes out my mouth you can't either repeat or judge me and call me crazy got it?"
"Sure."
"All ears."
"Okay," Connor made sure his door was locked "You guys heard about my accident yesterday right?"
"Yeah, almost drowned, your girlfriend had to save your ass." Wally said with a mouth full "What of it?
"Well I know this is real, I'm positive it's real. It's the only thing that Luthor can be looking for that gives him a huge benefit in his company and reputation. Theirs know way he would spend a fortune on just chemical materials."
"Whats real dude?"
"Yeah." Wally burped and sat up "Spill."
"Okay," Connor took in a deep breath "While I was going down.. I ….saw something. I-It was big and had a pale blue color to it. I didn't really get a good look at it but I did hear some type of ..echoing sound. At first I thought it was a dolphin or a whale but the sound it was making was more….siren like. As if it was trying to either tell me something or just calm me down. But whatever it was, I think it was the one that saved me, not Megan. She probably pulled me out to shore or something but that ….thing was the one that cut the rope and helped me to the surface."
Dick and Wally had no response to story told from Connors mouth. They did in fact remember not to call him crazy or judge him. Dick was first to speak.
"Dude, are sure you weren't just hallucinating?"
"Yeah, first step when it comes to a near death experience is hallucinations." Wally confirmed.
"I'm serious about this guys." Connor looked them dead in the eye "And whatever creature that's out there and saved me yesterday….Luthor's after it. I'm positive."
"Hmm." Dick tipped his glasses on his nose "What do you think we should do?"
Connor sighed and looked at the window. He could see sun at the horizon of the ocean.
"Luthor would do anything if it means increasing his company benefits, even if it means hurting someone or somthing….. which is why I think we should find it before he does."
I'm baaaack! See? Told you it wasn't on Hiatus. Yall forgive me for taking so long? Hope so cause I might need tons of opinions so I can figure how tobring this thang to the final climax and wrap it up!
So, Young Justice Invasion and series finally.
Loooooved the second season, it always kept my heart up at a fast pace, Every new bee was awesome. I personally like Wonder Girl and Lagoon Boy I just don't want them to screw up this version of DC NATION story line and Supermartian. I would loooooooove to have a date with Lagoon Boy, I want Wolf as a pet, me and Sphere to have a gals night out and party till I'm purple with Wally and Jaime.
Oh yeah, couple wise! Mal and Karen fixed their dent, The whole Wonder Girl and Robin thing, I thought that was just a couple that fans liked. Didn't know that was gonna happen. Spitfire, I want to hug Artemis I feel so bad for her. And at last Supermartian, in the the beginning I wanted to puncg Superboy in the face at the end of Intervention, first off I SHIPPED Wendy and Marvin in the first place. That STUNG! But, Supermartian got back together…more like just got back on the right foot but we fans know romance when we see it. ;)
BUT ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END! GOOD BYE YOUNG JUSTICE RESPECTIVLY! I LOVE YOU!
