Flash

We were fighting against a bunch of Greek Monsters. With Aquaman's trident, Wonder Woman's Sword, and Batman's sword (Where did he get it anyways?) our only weapons being able to harm the monsters, and our powers not doing much against the monsters, we were fighting a losing battle. Green Lantern was on the ground, injured, and the league had formed a protective circle around him. Even with Orin, Diana, and Bat's skill, we were about to be overwhelmed. Batman said he had called backup, which gave me a bit of hope, but what chance did his proteges have against the monsters? They were weaker than us.

Suddenly, two people seemingly appeared. One was a young girl with a bird symbol on her chest, and the other Robin. She cast one last look at Robin and said, "Be careful," before she leapt into battle.

Five dracaenas immediately lunged. A single slash killed them. She blindly stabbed at a cyclops behind me and it crumbled to dust. A hellhound lunged, but she ducked and slammed her blade into its chest before ducking the minotaur's ax and jabbing it in the ribs. A backflipped over a cyclops let her backstab it before she turned in time to block a blade from another dracaena. As the battle continued, her reflexes grew faster. She became so fast that she seemed to be a gray cloud. Monsters disintegrated without any visible reason. Soon, only thirty monsters were left, including a drakon. I was amazed. A young girl could beat a bunch of monsters that the league could not.

She glanced at Diana and tapped on her sword, and Diana's eyes widened for some reason. "Sparky, operation drakon," she said. The girl knew Diana? I thought. How? In a well-organized formation, she and Diana rushed from opposite sides at the drakon. As it turned to fend off Diana, she daringly jumped onto its back and scrambled over its neck until she reached its head. Standing carefully, she raised her sword and brought it down. The drakon exploded into dust, and she landed lightly on the ground and high-fived Diana.

We stared at her. She was experienced and was even better with the sword than Diana.

"league, this is Tern. Her real name is Percy. Tern, this is the league," said Bats.

"So, I'm going to call all of them 'the league'?" she asked. Bats gave her a look. "You know their names," he said. I tried to hold in my laughter, as did Green Lantern.

"Anyway, I've been thinking of asking whether Tern should join the league," said Bats.

Superman glared at her with hatred. I could see a bit of jealousy in them. He wished he was as good as Tern in Battle. "How old is she? I bet she couldn't hurt a fly. Besides, it's not like she's special or anything."

"Did you not see her in battle?" asked J'onn. Superman went silent.

"I have powers and can fight with a sword," she responded.

"What powers do you have?" challenged Superman.

"Water based powers so far. That could change," she said.

Diana looked at her. "Tern, the council called. Like after the second titan war. They need you as soon as possible. "

Tern's eyes widened with worry. "I should go, then, " she said. She vanished, leaving us pondering about the relationship between Diana and Percy.

"I think she is definitely skilled enough to join the league," said Green Lantern. There were murmurs of agreement.

"Have we any reason to trust her?" demanded Superman. "She could turn on us at any moment."

"Aquaman can vouch for her, as can I," said Diana. "We've known her for three years. She is loyal and trustworthy, not the type for betrayal."

"I've known her for fifteen years. She will not betray us," Batman said.

"J'onn?" asked Superman. "What did you find?"

"Tern let down her barriers to let me see her memories. She is trustworthy and has been through a lot more than us. Why do you seem to hate her so much?"

Superman was silent.

"Well, I vote yes," said Green Lantern. Following the suit, the rest of us, except for Superman, who abstained, agreed to include Tern as a member of the league.

Suddenly, a red-hot portal appeared, and Percy stumbled out of it. Her irises were ringed with red- not the evil type, but the one which shows loyalty and protectiveness- and an array of colors mingled with her usually sea-green.

"What happened?" asked Aquaman.

"Interesting stuff. I'll fill you guys in later." replied Tern. "What did I miss?"

"You're now part of the Justice League," Batman said. Percy smiled.

A month later

The league was going to fight Lex Luthor in his power armor. We had devised a plan: Flash was a distraction, me and Wonder Woman were going to attack the front, and the rest of the league would go at him from different sides.

Lex tried to lure me over to his side. He offered me anything I wanted: wealth, power, freedom, etc. As he continued luring me, my anger grew. The last straw? When he harmed Bats.

Water, Fire, and Earth began to swirl around me unsettlingly. My eyes glowed with raw power. From the looks of the league, my aura was making them want to cower in a corner. I saw Lex Luthor look at me with fear.

Summoning all the materials into a ball, I made a pushing motion. The materials flew straight at him, destroying his blaster and knocking him over. A tree began to grow around him, encasing him within the wood and effectively trapping him. When I was finished, Lex Luthor was encased in a giant redwood, about a thousand feet high and thirty feet thick.

"Will it contain him?" asked Superman. He was still jealous of my powers and hated me.

I snorted. "A tree smaller than this was able to contain a titan. Trust me, it'll work."

Suddenly, Bruce collapsed. I rushed over to him and checked his wound. It was turning yellow. Pit Scorpion Venom. I cast an apologetic look at Diana. The effort to heal him would possibly kill me.

Seemingly realizing what I was planning to do, Diana ran to me. "Tern, you can't. It'll kill you."

"If it kills me, it kills me. I'm not going to let him die." Diana glanced at me worriedly as I started the process. I drew the venom out of Bruce's body. The tug on my gut increased. Black spots danced in my eyes. With the last energy remaining, I closed his wound. The ground swayed beneath me, and my back met the ground. I collapsed next to Bruce. Everything turned black.
