I wish I never asked for my fortune. Wally thought to himself as Rachel folded up the bright piece of paper. The demigods all had grave looks on their faces, it made them look older and tired. It was enough to make him wonder if what they were saying was true. And how did Rachel Elizabeth Dare get that piece of paper to glow so brightly? What kind of tech did she use?

"What she just said was our future?" Raquel asked.

Robin laughed, "It sounded more like a weird nursery rhyme to me."

"Our 'nursery rhymes' have led to some pretty catastrophic events in the past." Percy said. He looked at Annabeth for a second to make sure that he used catastrophic right and she gave him a thumbs ups.

Raquel crossed her arms, "I'm sorry but if your Oracle-fortune-maker-thing is gonna give me my fortune it should be much more specific."

"That's the thing about prophecies, or fortunes if that's what you want to call it, they are never any specifics." Jason said with a shrug.

Wonder Woman smiled at everyone. The smiled reminded Wally of Robin right before he pounced on his enemies. "Prophecies also mean a quest, hardships, and adventures. You should go on a quest to fulfill the prophecy! Just as demigods do."

No one looked enthusiastic to go on any quests or missions of any kind. Especially Wally, "If you guys go on these 'quests' all the time why do we have to come?"

"I don't think you heard your fortune that well, Wally." Zatanna said, "It said 'with mortals as company' and we're the mortals."

"It could be any 'mortal' and don't say my really name!"

"Rachel Dare waited to read the prophecy until we got here. Meaning that you must be the mortals in your fortune. We should know your real names if we're going to be travelling with you for Jupiter knows how long." Reyna said to Wally. He could tell that she didn't like him much.

"I don't see why it matters if we use our real names, anyhow. Zatanna and I have already shared ours." Aqualad told him.

Wally looked conflicted, "That's not the point! You're an Atlantean! And Zatanna's superhero name is her actual name!"

"Shut up, Wally!" Artemis scolded him then she looked at the demigods with a smile, "I go by my superhero name too, Artemis. I'd trust anyone who has Wonder Woman vouching for them."

M'gann smiled, "You need to know how to be more accepting of another person's culture, Wally. I'm M'gann or Megan, which ever one seems more normal to you." she grabbed Superboy by his arm and pulled him forward, "And this is Conner! We don't know how long we're going to be on this mission either, so we might as well call each other by our names." Conner didn't look as eager as M'gann to accept the demigods but he held his tongue.

"We're not actually going on this mission, right?" Wally looked around. He met eyes with Raquel.

She sighed, "I'm Raquel. And I hope that your prophecies can tell me if I break a nail in the near future."

"Guys no! Batman will literally kill us! Robin, tell them!" Wally looked at his best friend for support.

"I can't give out my secret identity, so just call me Robin." he chuckled.

"You're my best friend, man! How could you betray me?"

"Seems like a good cause. Plus whenever something involves Percy, Batman gets all weird. I'm getting to the bottom of that. Whether or not he finds out."

Wonder Woman looked like she was happy that most of the young heroes had agreed to go on their first quest, "Don't worry about Batman, I'll make sure he doesn't know about this." She then exited the Mission Room to probably make a call to the Dark Knight himself.

Annabeth looked at the heroes, "I hope that you all realize that if you go on this quest you might not make it out. You'll face things you've never encountered before. You may determine if we're going to war or signing a peace treaty. Are you all really up for this?"

"The stakes are high but," Kaldur stuck out his hand, "We will be happy to help you and your people."

Annabeth took his hand and shook it. "I'm glad that we're all on the same page!"

"Wait a second, I'm not even in the same book as you guys!" Wally protested but Annabeth ignored him.

"There are things we still need to discuss. Like who else is going, where we're going, and what we're getting." Annabeth continued.

"Well 'the land of the Roman' is obviously Italy and regina is the the latin word for queen." Jason said.

"So do you think we have to go to Italy?" Annabeth asked to anyone in general.

"But wouldn't we have to get past Heracles to get to Europe again?" Hazel asked in return.

"No I doubt that he'll bother us again."

"You guys met Hercules?" Robin asked with surprised.

"Yeah," Jason said bitterly, "But he was a huge jerk."

Piper mimicked his bitterness, "It would be too early if I never saw him again."

"I don't think that he'll be a problem, but do you think cursed queen's jewel is in Italy?" Annabeth asked again. Wally really wanted to know why they met Hercules and why he won't be a problem. We're all demigods mysterious?

Percy looked like he was thinking hard, "We should go to Thebes. The necklace is probably there."

"What does the jewel have to do with a necklace? Is it on a necklace?" Annabeth asked him.

"I think... the jewel of the cursed queen might be the gem from the Necklace of Harmonia." he said hesitantly.

At first Annabeth looked like she was going to shoot him down, but then she looked impressed, "Nice job, I guess you're not that much of a Seaweed Brain! How'd you know?"

He spoke proudly this time. "In the myths they say that the necklace has a chain that looks like two snakes and a clasp that is their mouths put together or something like that. That reminded me of the serpentine chain line. It was passed down between the queens of Thebes and they all got cursed."

Wally, who had thought that Percy wasn't the brightest green crayon in the box, gave him a surprised look. "What really gave it away was the being in harmony line. Plus I did research on the three Theban plays by Sophocles as an extra credit project in drama class." he continued.

Annabeth patted Percy on the back, "Great now we know where we're going!"

"And what we're getting." Reyna added.

"But we still need some of us to go with them." Piper said, "The prophecy says, 'half-bloods and mortals in harmony.'"

"Oh yeah." Annabeth said as she crossed her arms, "Percy, Jason, Nico, you're going." she said quickly.

Percy cheered at the same time that Nico protested. "Why do I have to go?" This was the first thing that the almost dead looking kid said since he got here. Personally Wally didn't want him coming with them either, mostly because he still hadn't forgot about Nico tripping him.

"I thought you'd be much more willing to go than this." Annabeth said.

"I was willing to go when I thought I'd be kicking mortal ass!"

"C'mon Nico! It'll be like old times." Percy said.

Nico ignored Percy and looked at Will, "I thought you wanted to keep me in the infirmary for observation?"

"My dad's the god of prophecies so I can't really argue with one." Will said while he was trying to hold back a laugh.

Nico groaned and slowly sunk down to the floor and laid face first while making a continuous moaning sound. "At least you'll be able to kick monster ass." Annabeth said with a laugh. Wally gave her a surprised look, Annabeth didn't seem like a person who laughed a lot.

"Why us? Not that I'm against it," Jason said quickly afterwards, "I think it would be better if you went."

Nico raised his head, "It would be better if you went and I stayed."

Annabeth softly kicked Nico's side as his head went back down, "The prophecy said 'The Big Three' so I assumed that it was the children of the godly Big Three. Plus you guys are probably the most powerful demigods I know." Wally looked at the three. Nico was a really pale kid, who looked like he hadn't eaten in months, with a big mop a dark hair on his head. Percy looked like every high school skater boy but acted like a class clown, it was like a combination between the two. Jason looked like the football player who would stuff him lockers before he got his powers, but he had to admit he was considerably nicer than him. This trio did not scream powerhouses of all of demigod kind.

"I'm flattered but I still don't want to go." Nico said in a muffled voice.

"Shut up Ghost King, you should enjoy your fresh air." Will said.

"You know what… I think Hazel should go too." Annabeth said as she tapped her chin.

"What?" the demigoddess questioned.

Percy put his arm around the small girl and smiled, "You're one of the Little Big Three which gives you permission to do pretty much anything. Including going on extremely dangerous adventures in with a bunch of strangers!"

Jason raised a brow, "Little Big Three? Is that what we're calling ourselves now?"

"It's cooler than anything you could up with, Grace."

Hazel still looked confused and anxious, but Frank (who was the huge asian guy Wally recalled turning into bees) put her smaller hand in his large one, "Don't worry, Hazel. You'll do great, we've been on harder quest than this." All of Hazel's anxiety melted off of her face and she smiled.

"It would be a good idea to Shadow Travel back to camp and pack for at least a week." Annabeth said to the Little Big Three.

"Me and Will are gonna go back to camp too." Rachel Dare said, "There's no reason we need to stay."

"Speaking of camp, is Grover waiting back there for us?" Percy asked.

"I actually asked him to break the news to the campers." Annabeth answered.

Percy looked at her with surprise, "You told him to tell them I was kidnapped?"

"We couldn't keep it a secret forever. They had to know about our interactions with the Justice League sometime. Why not now?"

"It's gonna be mass panic, Annabeth."

"They'll be fine as soon as they see you."

"But Anna-"

"Nico, would you mind?" Nico then promptly picked himself off the ground and grabbed Percy by his shoulder. He proceeded to drag him away towards wall and walked right into its shadow, while Percy was still talking. Wally rubbed his eyes to make sure he really saw Nico drag Percy into a shadow. Believing what he was seeing wasn't that hard when he saw Hazel do the same thing with Jason, Will, and Rachel.

Right after they left Wonder Woman returned from her call with Batman. "What did he say?" Annabeth asked her.

"There has been little to no progress since they left yesterday. They'll be in Africa for at least another week."

"Just as I thought, we only have a week to get to Italy, Thebes, and back." Annabeth turned to face the Team, "On this quest you'll encounter things that usually only demigods or mortals with clear sight can see, assuming that none of you have clear sight." No one said anything, but Zatanna look conflicted for a second, so she continued, "So Leo and the children of Hecate, the goddess of Mist and magic, designed this for you."

Just as she said that Leo stepped up holding a pair of what looked like orange sunglasses. "These glasses will let you see through the Mist at the same level demigods do. We've been working on it since the last time we met, in case we became best buddies. But we haven't tested them out yet considering we don't know any mortals that don't have clear sight. So we're sorry if it explodes or something." Wally noticed that the whole Team didn't look like they wanted their faces exploded off, so they took a step back.

Leo looked at them, "Eenie meenie miney you!" Leo said as he pointed at Wally.

"Wait I don't think that-" he tried to protest but he was already pulled away from the Team.

"This is Reyna, you know Reyna." Leo said pointing to the scary girl that hated him, "She'll show you a weapon and you'll tell us what it is."

Reyna didn't miss a beat, after Leo finished explaining she pulled out something from behind her. Wally immediately jumped, "I-It's an assault rifle." Without a moment of hesitation she swung it at him. Wally was surprised and, for the first time in a long time, wasn't fast enough to dodge it. He expected a heavy and painful blow, but felt nothing.

Leo gave him the glasses and told him to put them on. At first Wally thought that there was nothing different but then he looked at Reyna and realized her rifle had turned into a beautiful golden sword. "Woah." he said. He alternated between taking off and putting on the glasses just to make sure what he was seeing was what he was really seeing.

"That must be code for it works! We've made installable lenses and contacts too, if you're wondering." Leo said.

"So that'll help us see your gods and monsters the way you see them?" Robin asked. Annabeth only nodded and smiled.

"Speaking of technology," she said to the Boy Wonder, "Would you mind showing me the device you used to shut off Jason's powers."

"No problem." he said as he lead Annabeth out of the Mission Room. Leo looked like he wanted to follow them but stayed behind.

He smiled at them, "Okay who else wants to give it a try?" As his teammates tried the glasses one by one Wally realized that he could at least try to believe what he was seeing.

-(Line Break)-

The whole Team was already suited up and ready to head out by the time the Little Big Three (was Wally really going to start calling them that?) had returned from their camp. They all had backpacks of varying sizes on their backs, Percy was dressed in in an orange shirt that said Camp Half-Blood and Jason and Hazel were dressed in a Purple shirt that said Camp Jupiter. Nico stuck to the same skull t-shirt he was wear when he got there.

"Now that we're all here you guys can get moving." Annabeth said as she checked the lenses on Wally's goggles one last time. He and Robin we're the only ones who had lenses installed in their already existent eyewear, Robin had somehow got the orange lenses under the whites of his domino mask. The rest of the Team was wearing contacts but they all had a pair of the regular orange sunglasses in case the lenses broke.

"How are we getting there anyway? Doubt that Festus can fit all of us." Jason said.

"The same way you guys got in." Annabeth answered quickly as she gave Wally back his goggles.

Jason looked confused but M'gann cleared it up, "We're taking the Bio-Ship, which is the plane you guys came in on."

"A plane?" Percy said with a slightly panicked expression.

Annabeth waved him off, "You were fine when you came in, you'll be fine this time."

"But Zeus probably thought I was being flown to my death and let me live."

Jason put a hand on his shoulder, "I'm sure you'll be fine, Jackson."

"Just make sure that your daddy doesn't shoot me out of the sky, Superman." Conner gave Percy a confused look then turned attention to Jason with the same expression. It was like he didn't like any references to Superman being made if they weren't about him or the actual Man of Steel.

"Sure thing, bro." Jason laughed.

"You guys can talk on the plane." Annabeth said, pushing them away from each other, "You need to get going."

The demigods started to load things into the ship and entering alongside the Team. Percy was one of the last ones to enter so Wally waited behind for him. "Hey, Percy." Wally felt awkward calling him anything other than Perseus or Jackson. The Team had been chasing him around for months it was odd that they were suddenly allies.

While Wally was awkward, Percy accepted him with opened arms. "Yeah." he said.

"Um… what ever happened to those guys in the plays? I mean the guys who had the necklace?" Wally asked.

Percy thought for a second then answered him, "Well, there was one queen who had it, Jocasta, and she married her son, who killed her husband, and had four kids with him. She ended up hanging herself after she found out and her son-slash-husband, Oedipus, stabbed himself in the eyes with pins from her dress. Then he was banished from his own kingdom and died, it was probably a slow and painful death, under a tree somewhere in Greece."

Wally stared blankly at Percy as he swung his bag over his shoulder and entered the Bio-Ship. Wally continued to stand there and stare into space. Percy stuck his head out of the ship, "Are you comin' in?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

Wally stuttered for a second and just nodded. He walked slowly to the ship and sighed sadly. He didn't know if he was more scared or more excited to see all the new and terrifying ways he could die on the mission.

Or should he say quest.


It was really cool writing a chapter from Wally's point of view. I based this mainly on the part of his personality that is very hesitant to accept that not everything can be explained with science. I'm also hoping to make it seem like there is a close bond between him and Percy.

Thank you for reading! Hopefully a new chapter will be up next week!
