Leo nodded and let Superboy pick up Seastar.
"Um, how is Festus going to fit in the Bio-ship?" Kidflash asked. Leo looked at the group then glared at the sleeping girl. Leo then turned his gaze to Festus. Leo then walked over to him and pressed a scale on his lower left leg.
"It alright Festus. We will be safe with them." There was a bit of mechanical whirring and Festus folded up into a carry-on suitcase. Leo pressed the button on the handle and the wheels popped out. A low whistle came from Kid Flash.
"Seastar never said that Festus could do that."
"She probably didn't know" Leo replied. "I first found out that trick in Canada. She was busy looking for her brother in… Florida I believe." The group nodded. "So, how in the world did Sea… star start working with you guys?"
" She apparently saved Batman and Robin from Kobra two nights ago. Last night was her first night. She went toe to toe with all of us." Leo started to laugh.
"Let me guess," Leo said between his gasps for air. "She wiped the floor with all of you."
"Yes, she did. Seastar is a very adept fighter." The group walked inside the bio-ship. Leo mouth fell open and stared at the ship.
"It is bigger on the inside!" Everyone laughed at that and sat down in their chairs. Miss Martin took the front and started the ship. Two more chairs created themselves as well as a table in the back that Superboy laid Seastar on. Robin was walking to the back and yelled out
"What do you think that she needs Leo?"
"Perhaps a bag of fluids. She probably burnt herself out and the liquids would help a lot." Leo mussed
"What do you mean by that, Leo?"
"Well, I don't know how much that you know about Seastar, but she heals faster with water."
"Oh ok then." Robin brought over an I.V stand and set it up right next to the table. The floor underneath the stand moved up and covered parts of the stand to hold it in place.
"Now all we have to do is wait till she wakes up. I am so going to yell at her when she does!" Leo muttered.
Galene
*Ow…. What in the Hades happened? I haven't felt this sore since Sal decided to beat me unconscious last month. Plus the fact that I am feeling like Blackjack decided to use me as a tap-dancing rug. And why is so damn hot.*
"I'm worried about her Robin. She has yet to wake up and it has been over a week."
*WHAT! I've been asleep for over a week! Oh Nico and Will are going to kill me, well that's if Sal doesn't first.*
"We just have to wait, M'gann. Calypso said that she nearly drained all of her life force for just causing that 10.5 earthquakes. Which by the way must have sparked the fever and a seizure.
*Gamótata skatá (Fucking shit) Will is so gonna kill me. That if Percy or Leo doesn't do it first. I wonder what they told everyone. UGGHH this fire is killing me. Why is so hot? It burns…..* Very gently but desperately, Galene reached for the mind of her redhead friend.
/M'gann?/ Galene whispered. Thankfully not a second later she heard a small gasp then a cool hand was on her forehead. Galene nearly moaned in bliss.
/Sea, how are you feeling?/ Galene whimpered, something she hasn't done in a long time. Instead of answering she push what she was feeling to her.
" Fuck. Robin, can you please get a cool rag as well as some ice packs. It looks like her fever spiked again." Robin must have nodded because there were no words said.
/Wha- What happened?/
/What do you remember Galene?/
/I remembered the mission, that Leo's alive and that he has a really hot girlfriend. I remember my part, the fact that I had to find Festus. Then…. I remember getting really mad about something, which is odd since I don't get mad very easy. What happened to me?/ M'gann sighed out loud but kept her hand on her friend forehead. Galene barely heard the sound of soft footfalls that she knew was the Boy wonder.
"Here M'gann I got everything you asked for."
"Good, hand me the cloth first then put the ice packs on her wrist then the back of the neck." Galene moaned as the coolness of the ice packs and the on her wrist and neck.
/Is that better?/ M'gann asked with a hint of laughter.
/Yes, thank you. Where are we?/
/The base. Your friends are staying here till you wake up. Strangely your cousin and his friend weren't asking where you are. Why is that, you've been gone a week?/
/Oh they're used to me disappearing for a weeks time. I haven't exactly been stable as of late. As long as I, at the very least, contact them before four weeks are up, they respect my privacy./
/Oh…. That's weird./
/Perhaps. But it's my family so what do you expect?/ M'gann chuckled at that then brought Robin in the mental conversion.
/So Sea how do you feel?/ Robin asked as M'gann lifted up Galene's head to set her in M'gann's lap.
/Like I'm being boiled and burned alive. What I want to know is how I got like this? I remember bits and pieces but not enough to actually know what happened./
/Well…. You found Festus and were apparently getting everyone off of the island which all of them were found and immediately arrested. You then traveled to the main room which you must have heard what they were planning to do with your friend Leo./
/Yea, I remembered that they wanted to use his own ability or find a way to remove it from Leo so that they could use it for themselves. After that it is blurry./
/You got mad at them then according to Leo you pretty much overused your power which by the way got you put on the list for people with powers that could potentially destroy the world for on the Batcomputer. The youngest as I know./ Robin said with a slight note of happiness. Galene groaned while M'gann and Robin chuckled. /Don't worry Batman won't reveal who's on the list till they are of age or their powers grow to hard for them to control without proper training. You are in the first category. Leo told him that normally you have excellent control over your abilities and that was the first time in what over a year?/
/Year and a half, and thank god. I already had enough trouble with my brother disappearing for nearly a year, I don't need someone else on my ass./
/Don't worry Sea. Batman understands and will make sure that it will remain confidential. So anyways after you very impressively display powers. your friend Leo and his 'girlfriend Calypso have been staying here till you woke up and we could think of a plan. 24 hours later you suddenly started having a seizure and a 40.0-celsius fever./
/Robin you did it again. He means.../
/SHIT Will is definitely going to kill me. Its been forever since I got a fever THAT high. 104 is definitely not normal for me. Judging by how I feel its gotten down to a manageable level for us to work with?/
/Yea, if you call 103.99 manageable./ Galene sighed and focused. She could feel the condensation on the three ice packs and drew the water toward her.
/Alright now it is down toward the hundreds…..Now all we need is…. Shit I knew that I forgot something./ Galene felt rather put out that she felt M'gann shaking.
"Hey, its …..not nice to …. laugh." Galene felt a shot of pride from making both M'gann and the boy wonder jump. She then heard a shuffling.
"¿Y qué ... estás ... riéndote de ... león de Fuego?" (And what... are you ... laughing at... fire lion?) The shuffling stopped then a familiar latino elf popped in to view.
"Entonces, ¿qué desastre te metiste en esta vez estrella de agua? ¿Y cómo puedo ayudar a solucionarlo?" (So what mess did you get yourself into this time Water star? And how can I help fix it?) Galene muttered,
"It's not my …. my brother and….. I am cursed." Leo started to shuffle which suspically sounded like laughter that was being hidden. "Oh laugh it up…. fire boy because I doubt …..you'll get a chance to after I tell Seaweed brain ….. and a company that you're alive." Leo suddenly started to choke and Robin reached over and thumped him on the back.
"What do you mean by that Seastar?" Galene yawned.
/I'll tell you later. I still need to do more healing and I am still very tired./ Everyone chuckled and left with the exception of M'gann who still had Galene's head in her lap.
"I'll see you…. later pequeño león de fuego. (little fire lion)" Leo walked back and placed a small kiss on Galene's forehead.
"Consigue una mejor chica de agua, hablaremos cuando estés mejor." (Get better water girl, we will talk when you are better.) With that Leo followed Robin and out the door.
/You still love him./ M'gann commented.
/I never stopped Megan. But after a year of him basically being dead to me…. I think that I can honestly say my love for him was nothing more than that I would have for a little brother./
/So I'm guessing that you didn't know about Calypso then?/ Galene sighed.
/Not in the way you think, as far as I knew she was trapped on an island somewhere on the earth I just didn't know where. My half brother was trapped on the same inland for a week as well. That why I'm a lot more accepting of Calypso. If she can give Leo happiness then that makes me happy. See you in a little bit, Megan. Oh, can you get my homework from the teachers? Just tell them that I got sick at your place and was staying there. Tell Nico and Will that I'll talk to them when I am better./
/Alright Galene. See you when you are better./
(Three days later)
Galene looked over the small group. Yesterday Galene told Nico and Will who about Leo (the unedited version) then the both of them processed to cuss Leo out for making them think that he was dead. Galene started to laugh till Leo spilled the fact that the reason why Galene herself had missed a week of school and was by technically should have still been on bed rest. Yea Galene is not so happy with Leo at the moment.
"Hey there baby sister, how've you been?"
"Good, Perce it good to see you again. Its been too long. Hi Annabeth, Hazel, Frank, Jason, Piper, and Reyna. How have you guys been?"
"We've been good Galene. And why are you tied to the ground?" Hazel asked.
"Pissed off Will again."
Seven heads nodded with understanding.
"So sis why did you call us?"
"Well, last week I ran into someone that you guys might want to meet."
"Alright then. Nico, Will drag 'im on out." Suddenly a scream went up from the shadows to the group's right. The group of eight watches as Nico and Will dragged a small form between them. Leo was twisting and turning in Will and Nico's arms.
"Vamos león de fuego, ¿no quieres conocer a nuestros amigos?" (Come on Fire lion, don't you want to meet our friends?)
"Vete a la mierda, chica de agua! ¡No quería verlos de esta manera!" (Fuck you water girl! I didn't want to meet them this way!) Seven faces dropped in shock, while Galene took the camera that she was hiding and snapped nearly a dozen photos, just knowing that they would make awesome blackmail or the way Percy and Annabeth were heading a perfect wedding day story. Hiding away the camera before anyone saw it. Hazel was the first to break out of the shock she ran up to the group and nearly jumped on him, screaming,
"LEO!" That shocked everyone else into moving. Frank very nearly followed his girlfriend's actions. But had a bit more resistant. Percy looked back to his sister on the ground.
"H...how….. Where …. Where did you find him?"
"I was walking on the beach a couple of nights ago when Festus nearly jumped me. Leo came running after him and saw me. I can only guess that Festus either smelt me or something like that." Leo pulled Frank into the hug and started whispering to the two of them. "Will can you please untie me? I promise not to do anything too stressful for the next week." Will looked down at Galene and press his lips together and raised an looked back and pulled out her puppy eyes at him. Will just shook his head then waved his hands over the ropes thus releasing her.
"Hall-freaking-ullia!" Galene nearly jackknifed up and gave her still shocked brother a giant hug. Percy unfroze and returned the hug with equal gusto.
"Thank you so much, sister."
"Of course big brother, but that is not all who I found. Look past the group." Percy looked to pass the crying trio and saw Calypso. He froze again and paled as well. Galene chuckled, let go of her brother and went over to Calypso and whispered in her ear, "You made him freeze and pale at the same time. Nice job!" Calypso just smiled then walk over to the still frozen Percy. Annabeth was about to walk over when Galene put a hand on her arm. "Annabeth let them work it out on their own. Remember the promise Percy made. Leo was the one who fulfilled it, but there is still resentment there. Let them talk first then introduced yourself. She is not as mad as you think, she just wants Perce to know."
"When did you get so smart?" Annabeth looked over at her.
"Someone had to get the brains of the family because we all know that Percy doesn't have any." Annabeth started to laugh when Leo yelped and collapsed to the ground both hand over his junk and started to whimper. Piper was cursing in French and english while Jason had a had on Leo's shoulder his face filled with sympathy and… she thinks was regret. Annabeth walked over to the group and dragged Leo up. Everyone froze and waited to see what was going to happen when Annabeth pulled Leo into a tight hug.
"YOU EVER SCARE US LIKE THAT AGAIN LEO, I'LL…. I'LL…. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL DO BUT I KNOW YOU WON'T LIKE IT." Annabeth then put her head on his shoulder and started crying. Leo looked shocked for a few moments then moved his arms to hug Annabeth.
"Well, that turned out well," Galene commented. Then she felt a buzz in her pocket. She walked over to Renya and told her. "I'll be back soon, I have to use the restroom." She nodded and Galene walked nearly a mile away to not led a monster to her family. Checking her phone she found that it was an unknown number that had sent a text.
'Come to your mom's room as soon as you are available. There is something that you really should know. -B'
*Why is Batman texting me? As far as I know, there is no mission for tonight and there is nothing that I can think of that would be important.*
'Give me thirty minutes.'
'Agreed' Galene then wiped the number off her phone. She was then walking back to the group when a flash of silver and black caught her eye. Tilting the head back she quickly reached up and snatched the knife out of the air.
"Nice try Thaila. But you will have to be quicker than that." A loud groan came from Galene's left.
"You are getting too damn good at that cousin."
"I know." Galene chirped. "So are you planning to the improv party that everyone is planning."
"Yes. Why are you asking?"
"Can you tell them that something came up for a couple of school friends that I have to go deal with."
"If can I ask which school friends? After all, you are not well known for making friends."
"Their names are Megan Morse and Connor Kent."
"Have fun then."
"See you sparky." Galene gathered some water and disappeared as she heard Thaila yell not to call her sparky
