"Do you think it's him?" Leo asked, looking at the boy who was obviously Wally.
"Its probably him..." Nico whispered sarcastically, turning to look at his boyfriend.
"You wanna test that theory?" Leo whispered back, a smirk forming on his lips. Nico saw it, and a smile of his own started to tug at his mouth.
"Let's." Nico whispered, his fingers stretching and the shadows coming back to life. Connors eyes widened. They were going to attack Wally, and he knew he couldn't stop him in time.
"KF! Don't-!" Connor yelled uselessly as Wally jumped onto the boat.
Nico and Leo sprung at the speedster, trying to attack from both sides to catch him off guard. Leo sent a fireball in the shape of a fist at Wally, and he dodged it expertly, just at Nico put a shodow box around him, surrounding him in darkness.
The YJ all got into positions to attack, and looked at Wally worriedly, but stopped dead in their tracks when they saw him smiling.
Wally broke through the box, and dodged the next wave of flames that Leo had sent him, the two opposing attacks hitting eachother instead. Nico's hidden daggers shot out of his sleeves, and he stood in a crouching position, one dagger towards Wally and the other near his back. Wally was facing Nico, but Leo was in his peripheral vision. The hammer that Leo had pulled out of his toolbelt for repairs, started to glow red, and elongated into a celestial bronze sword, about three feet long.
Wally smirked at them, and lounged. Leo brought his sword down first, just as Nico threw shadow encased spikes at him. The cuffs on the speedsters uniform were also celestial bronze, so he blocked the sword and dodged the spikes. Leo swirled and waved his arms above his head and created a fire tornado. Nico started to attack with the daggers as Leo circled them, and strarted to blast fire at Wally.
"Shit." Wally muttered as a dagger sliced his shoulder. His uniform was cut, and he was bleeding. Wally backed away and headed for Leo. He knew their weak spots.
He started to run around Leo, and created a wind vortex around him to suck the oxygen out of the air around him. No oxygen, no flames. He would suffocate, but Wally wouldn't let him die.
Leo tried to spark a flame, and kept trying until he realized...he couldn't breathe. Nicos eyes widened when he saw his love try, and fail to breathe. He ran at the yellow clad hero, his daggers out but his stance sloppy.
Wally hit mere pressure points on Nico's wrists, and grabbed the daggers as they fell. He stopped running and held the two daggers at each of the demigods throats.
"Either of you move, I hurt the other." Wally said casually in fluent Greek, and smiled at them as Nico started to laugh.
"That was amazing, Wally!" Nico said happily. Wally smiled brightly, gave the daggers back and hugged Hades son strongly before clapping Leo on the back to help him breathe. Leo coughed and smiled at Wally before punching him in the face.
"You could have killed me, pendejo!" Leo said hoarsely. Wally was on the floor, laughing at Leo, who was failing to be mad at the red head.
"But I didnt." Wally sang happily, snorting with badly hidden laughter. Leo started to smack him repeatedly, and was trying to aim for his face. "Hey, hey, hey! All is fair in love and war!" Wally laughed, expertly using his speed to dodge out of the way.
"All is fair if I punch the fuck out of you!" Leo yelled angrily, even though a small smile was on his lips.
"Leo, amor, stop hitting him." Nico said feverently, still worried about his lovers health. He grabbed the Latinos arms and started to pull him away from the laughing hero.
"Okay, okay. I'm done..." Leo huffed, straightening out his shirt. Nico nodded and pulled away, and couldn't react in time to save Wally from the punch that Leo had sprung.
"Ow!" Wally yelled, grabbing his chin. The bruise would be bad, but with his accelerated healing, it would be gone in about two days.
"Ha!" Leo yelled triumphantly, but huffed out a little 'oomph' when Nico smacked him in the back of the head. "Hey!" Leo cried, looking at Nico incredulously.
"Ha!" Wally yelled, pointing at Leo with a smile on his face.
"¡Calláte!" Leo hissed, his hand catching fire once more when a stream of water put I out. He looked up, confused and blushed furiously when he noticed the rest of the YJ team staring at them. He loiked at each of them and waved, but when his eyes landed on Dick, he gasped. He hit Nico on the arm lightly to gain his attention and averted his eyes to look at the young bird.
Nicos eyes widened in recognition. He could feel the same power in him as he felt in Thalia and Jason, but it was more than that. He could see the tension in Dicks body and could feel electriciyt in the air. He's been keeping in his powers, and that was never a good thing. He probably didn't know how to control them, and that was even worse, because that meant that he didnt know about the gods. He didn't know about his heritage. How can they train him, if he didn't know who he even was?
Nico looked past the power and focused on his aura. It was white, pure, but there was a darkness in him that he couldn't control. So, something tragic happened to him, but what was it? He didnt know.
There was a shade of gold, and a hint of dark blue. Courage, and...what was it, sorrow? The small hint of red notified him of his anger, but everyone had that. but what shocked nico the most was the amount of silver in his aura. It was filled with hope, and power. It was larger than Jason's, and Thalia's combined. He was powerful, even without the powers being held in for so long. He knew that his father was Zeus, he had the same traits as his other children, but his were...softer somehow. He looked like...oh gods...he looked like Hera.
"Are you fucking kidding me, Wally?!" Nico hissed at the retreating demigod. "He doesn't even know, does he?!" The son of Hades roared and frowned as Wally shook his head.
"So, are you going to introduce us or do we have to do that ourselves?" Dick asked his bestfriend, still looking at Leo and Nico. The rest of thr YJ nodded in agreement.
"Oh! Yeah, sorry. Leo Valdez and Nico di Angelo, meet Robin, Aqualad, Artemis, Miss Martian, and Superboy and vice versa." Wally announced happily, and a little hesitant. Nico held out his hand and created a platform so they can all walk onto the ship.
"You may call me Kaldur." Kaldur said warmly, smiling as he shook Leo and Nicks hands.
"I'm M'gann, but you can call me Megan." M'gann chirped happily, floating down onto The Argo II.
"It's still Artemis." she said with a smile on her face as the grip on her bow relaxed.
"Connor." He grunted out, shaking their hands firmly before he kept walking.
Dick stood on the ship and stared at the two. He hesitated before he grabbed Nico's hand and reached up with his other, taking off his domino mask. Kaldur's eyes widened and Artemis and M'gann gasped as they looked at the scene unfolding before them.
"Richard Grace Grayson." Dick said, holding his head up proudly. Finally, no more secrets.
Leo smiled, proud at what he just witnessed, and held his hand out for him.
"We've heard a lot about you. You're Wallys best friend, right?" Leo said happily.
"Yes, and he's mine. We've known eachother for a long time." Dick said, Telefonica in his voice. Leo noticed how incredibly blue his eyes were, and tried not to state for too long.
"Its nice to see the face from all of the stories Wally's told us. After so long, we were starting to think you didn't exist." Nico said, and he meant that last sentence as more than what the others thought. Wally elbowed him lightly and glared at the son of Hades. He knew what Nico had meant, what he was talking about.
The rumors are true, there really is a second son of Zeus.
...Na Na Na Na Na Na Na...
"So, what brings you to Mount Justice?" Dick asked, jumping onto the couch in their HQ while everyone else settled in.
"We actually came originally for a friendly visit, but now...we're here on business." Nico said with a frown on his face, sitting down cross legged on the coffee table. Wally walked up to him and sat in from of him on the couch.
"What kind of business..." Wally asked wearily, everynidy else settling down into a chair.
"Well...Mt. Olympus has been attacked, and their throne room is completely destroyed." Leo sighed out, sitting behind Nico and pulling his back to his chest. Nico got comfy in his arms before continuing.
"We don't know who caused it. It's not the Romans, we know that. Kronos is sill locked away and Gaia was killed off a long time ago." Nico said, thinking to himself.
"So, who else could it be. We have a treaty with the Pagan Gods, they wouldn't risk breaking it." Wally said seriously, looking at his two friends that were huddled close to eachother.
"It could be the Egyptians." Leo said, throwing out anotuer option, but Nici shook his head strongly.
"Ever since Sadie and Carter got Ra back on the throne, we haven't had problems with them. Percy should know about it because he and Carter are close, and he would tell us if anything was wrong." Nico pointed out.
"So, who's left? We don't know about anyone else and no mortal is strong enough or stupid enough to threaten the gods on their own turf." Wally threw out, looking at then both with a questioning glance.
"Whoever it is...they're very powerful." Leo mumrmered, lost in thought. The trio sat silently while the rest of the team looked on.
Kaldur had known about the Greek gods and their existence, but he never thought he would meet one of their children, let alone already know one. M'gann and Connor were watching with peaked interest, thinking this planet got stranger and stranger. Artemis was just confused, not knowing a thing about gods or whatnot and Dick...
He was upset. Wally was his best friend, and he didn't e en know anything about him. Where he came from, who his real parents were. It obviously wasn't the West's or the Allen's. He had another life that he didn't even know about.
"What about camp?" Wally asked, breaking the silence.
"The camp is fine, but low level monsters have been attacking more frequently sinc Olympus' fall." Nico said, a little pride showing in his voice.
"Olympus hasn't fallen. It's been compromised, and relocation is necessary at this point, but we can still fight. The gods are fine, and we're all still alive." Leo said strongly, looking at the two with unwavering eyes.
"There's a war coming." Nico stressed, tilting his head back briefly to look at the latino boy.
"But with who?" Wally asked, frustrated. He started to tap his foot, and if kept getting faster and faster until there was a small dent in the floor. He stopped even he felt a hens rest on his thigh gently. He looked up to see Dick with a worried expressio on his face, and the rest of the team looking at the three with curious expressions.
"Thats another thing! Wally, when are you going to tell him? You've heard the rumors. You know he's alive, that he exists. Why haven't you told him yet?" Nico said, a small shadow forming behind Wallys's head so Nico could slap him with it.
"He has a right to know, Wal." Leo said, nodding solemnly at the speedster.
"Who hasn't told who, what?" Artemis asked, the words blurting out of her mouth. Wally looked at his teammates, and sighed heavily.
"So, I'm guessing yoi all know, hearing our conversation, that the Greek Gods exist, correct?" Wally asked and watched as they all nodded before proceeding.
"Well, there are three major Gods: Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Their children are the most powerful, and most valuable to have and/or know. Hades, has only one son: Nico di Angelo, the guy sitting in front of me. Poseidon has two sons: Percy Jackson, and Tyson...somethin. He's a cyclops, so I don't know his last name. And Zeus...
"Zeus' children are usually the most powerful of the three, but Percy is the most powerful one known...unil a few years ago. Zeus has three children: Thalia and Jason Grace. His third child, and second son, is the youngest out of all of them, and the most powerful demigod to ever walk this earth.
"Years ago...he started off to be a myth, an urban legend if you will...but only a few of us knew the truth. You see, his third child, is not a normal demigod, because Zeus isn't his only godly parent. His mother is Hera, the goddess of marriage and childbirth, making him extremely powerful. Me and him are somewhat similar. My father is Hermes, the messenger of the Gods, and my mother is Athena, the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy.
"But he...he surpasses everyone. If he knew of his heritage, and if he knew of his power, he could one day surpass Zeus himself..." Wally finished, looking at his teammates.
"But...who is he?" Connor asked, intrigued.
"His name..." Wally breathed in deep, and sighed, long and suffering, looking his bestfriend in the eyes.
"His name...is Richard Grace Grayson."
