Mount Justice, October 10
Dick, Cruz, and Wally ran towards the alleyway between two different townhouses, both a light peach color. In the alleyway lay a large air conditioner, garbage bins, and an old beat up telephone booth. Before anything else, Wally slipped on a fake arm cast. He's been pretending he broke his arm during the injustice league mission, guilting others into servicing him. Only a son of Hermes would do such a thing, makes sense. After the light enveloped the three, they were instantaneously transported to their secret base. Each of them walked to their gender specific locker room and changed into their uniforms. Dick into his signature Robin outfit and Cruz into Shadow Wave. Shadow Wave wore a dark blue mini skirt with white stars, a matching mask, a grey tank top with a skull in a dark blue circle on her chest, red and white striped leggings, a black leather jacket with red stripes on the sleeves, and black boots with a red flame and a dark blue star, her hair tied back in a braid and two strips of her hair framed her face. She never got changed in front of M'Gann or Artemis, if they saw her scars, they'd scream. Especially the large scratch mark on her chest from her first battle with a hell hound, the tons of scars on her back and legs from sword practice, and don't forget the three large holes on each arm from an empousai trying to take her away.
Anyway, Wally sat himself down into a chair instead of changing and called over Captain Marvel while everyone else trained. When he came back, Captain Marvel held a cup of pineapple juice for Wally. "Pineapple juice!" Wally grabbed the cup with his free arm and took it from his hand and quickly took a sip
"Ahh, just what the doctor ordered" He said
"How's the arm doing, Wally?" Cap asked
"Eh, nothing wrong nachos can't cure" He smirked
"Nachos? Oh, I'll go get you some!" And with that, Cap flew off toward the kitchen. Everyone in the fighting ring had a partner, M'Gann vs Kaldur, Artemis vs Robin, and Cruz vs Superboy. As training ended, Black Canary walked towards the teenagers.
"Good work everyone, in fact, it's been a very productive week" Canary commented
"Yeah, for everyone except Kid Malingerer" Artemis joked
"Isn't that every week?" Cruz joined
"Hey! Arm broken in combat against the injustice league here!" Wally answered
"Huh, I really enjoyed being your, uh... denmother this week." Canary hesitated. A computerized voice interrupted, bringing everyone's attention to the zeta tube.
'Recognized: Zatara: 11' Zatara entered and typed into the zeta beam's system 'Access granted: Zatanna Zatara: A03; Authorization: Zatara: 11' A pale girl with black hair and sky blue eyes entered, wearing a school uniform.
"Zatanna, this is the team. Team, my daughter, Zatanna" She walked out of the tube and M'Gann flew up to her
"Hi! I'm-" She was quickly interrupted by-
"Robin!" He said in a high pitched voice "I mean, I'm Robin" He quickly introduced everyone
"Welcome to the cave" Kaldur spoke in a serious tone
"Uh, thanks"
"So, are you joining the team?" Robin asked, jittery
"Now let's not get ahead of ourselves, this is strictly a visit. Though I am sorry we missed the training, it is something from which Zatanna could benefit" Zatara turned to Black Canary
"Do the rest of you get the impression we're still on probation with Zatara?" M'Gann linked up the team and asked
"Not just Zatara, I mean, why is Marvel still hanging around?" Superboy said
"Because we like having him around" Wally answered
"You like having him around-" Artemis started
"Cause he waits on you hand and foot!" Cruz finished
"And your point is?" the Hermes spawn asked
"It almost makes one naustalgic for Red Tornado's time as our supervisor" the Atlantean added
"Yeah, at least he trusts us" Robin thought
"Yeah, if you ignore the fact we shouldn't have trusted him, he was a traitor, that machine nearly got M'Ga- all of us killed!" Connor ranted
"Are you guys having a psychic conversation? Cause I can't tell if that's cool or really rude" Zatanna interrupted
"Alright fine! We were talking about tornado, it's been weeks since his attack and the league hasn't told us anything!" Connor admitted
"The league is searching for tornado, as well as the other androids that invaded the cave and their creator, T.O. Morrow. Batman has made tracking him down our highest priority" Canary said
"The league has done none of the above!" Robin joined
"I bet they haven't even tried! Nothing has progressed and probably never will cause your not thinking in a different perspective, this isn't like the movies where the secret base is the easiest thing to find! Nothing has changed while you searched!" Cruz added
"Not yet, but tornado is justice league, the team is not to persue this"
"Why don't you all take Zatanna on a- uh, tour of the cave" Zatara spoke up, but slowed down when Zatanna was nowhere to be found. Everyone turned to see her snuggling up next to Wulf. Cap asked if he could go, but Connor asked him to take Wulf out instead, leaving Wally nacho free.
Norrisville High, 3:30pm
Percy and Danny were in Danny's dorm, playing on the Xbox Percy bought with the money Chiron gave him. Jake, Max, and Randy were talking while relaxing on some of the beds, and Grover and Adrien were sitting at the small table in the corner, talking about Ladybug. It's been three hours since they saw Cruz, and they were starting to get worried, especially her brothers
"Guys, have any of you seen Cruz?" Percy asked after he beat his Roman brother in Super Smash Bros.
"Actually, no. She usually says where she's going, and it's like she just disappeared" Jake answered
"Maybe you should call her, your her older brother, you should have the right to know what's going on" Adrien said
"Yeah, were older than her and we need to know what's wrong" Danny agreed
"Fine" Percy dialed her number and waited for his sister to answer
Mount Justice
"Oh, she's gonna fit in great" Artemis complimented, Cruz was about to talk until her familiar Gravity Falls ringtone sounded. Everyone turned their attention to her, as she quickly answered, saying what she says often "Sup"
"Remix, where are you? It's been three hours!"
"Oh, you know, somewhere" She had always been a horrible liar
"Your a horrible liar"
"So are you!"
"So does it run in the family?"
"Probably, anyway, you didn't need to call me"
"I can worry about my little sister"
"So you don't trust me?"
"I do! I just worry"
"Percy, you don't have to worry about me"
"Well, I do"
"Well worry no more, seaweed brain! I'm safe and I always will be, now, gotta go"
"Ugh, fine! Bye Remix!"
"Bye! Tell clueless I said hi" And with that, she hung up and looked up to see everyone looking at her in interest. "Um, what?"
"You know, you never told me when you introduced me to him, are you two dating?" Robin asked, causing Wally and Artemis to burst into obnoxious laughter. "What?"
"So off, man, so off!" Wally chuckled
"I'm gonna die!" Artemis joked
"Well, is he?"
"No, if he was, that would be pretty fucked up, Boy Blunder" She scoffed
"HE'S HER BROTHER!" Wally and Artemis roared so loud, they no longer had breath. And Robin's eyes widened, along with every one else
"You never said you had a brother" M'Gann commented
"You never asked, and I have three half brother's by dad, and one sister on my mom's side, who now lives with her father back in Paris" Every one was gobsmacked, except Wally and Artemis
"That many siblings?" Zatanna asked
"Yeah, my little sister, Janine or Jane, is 7 and my brother's are all older than me, Percy's 17, Danny's 16, and Tyson's also 17, why?"
"No reason, hey, what's your full name?" M'Gann asked
"That doesn't matter, completely off track, back to the kidnapping!" They all went for the bioship and boarded to find Red Tornado
Hope you like it so far! Janine will probably NEVER be in The Parisian Dragon until very, very far in. Yes, this was based on the Young Justice episode Humanity. SEE YA!
