Sucky. Sucky. Sucky.

that's all I can say about this chapter. Sorry.

Man, school is stressing the crap out of me. AND I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED! See what school does. It stresses the Hades out of people.

Oh and is anybody else a Plain Jane out there (Yes, I'm a girl.) I mean I went to Volley Ball camp and like the eighth graders were wearing like an old T with the sleeves like ripped down to the waist and like twenty different tanks underneath and wearing their eighty dollar shoes looking all fabulous. And then there's me in a basketball shorts a random shirt with a messy pony tail and a pair of cheap Nike's. -_-

And then after practice I'm like covered in sweat (I hate that gene...) and the other girls are just glistening. glistening. -_-'

At school too, all I wear is a pair a jeans, a T-shirt, and a sweater and converse. I look around these are some of the things other girls wear:

-Midriff cover top things

-some type of tank

-designer freaking jeans

-eighty dollar jordans

-jewelery

-and some makeup

My reaction: What the- HOW DO YOU GET ALL OF THIS ON BEFORE THE BUS!

Siriusly (haha, sirius pun...)

I tried to put on make up (at home alone) and it just not work...

I'm one of those people where it looks like I'm wearing all this eyeliner and mascara but in reality it's my eyelashes. So naturally my eyes are pretty (THANK GOD!) because that and my hair are about the only things I'm complimented on for my physical appearance.

And am I the only one who doesn't like spend forever doing hair. All I do is brush, look in mirror, smile, and go.

Anyways on with the chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own TT or PJO

We hadn't even made it out of New York when the trouble started. Zeus decided to be a butt and start a full on thunderstorm. After almost being hit by lighting twice, Nico and I finally coaxed Apollo to land.

And now here we all are, staking it out in a bus.

Lovely.

Nico groaned hitting his against the window. "I'm sooo bored."

"Then go take a walk." I snapped irritated.

"In the pouring rain?"

"Yep."

"…"

Apollo clapped his hands. "That's just what you kids need! Fresh air! I know being cooped up in that camp can make you quite cramped!"

"Um, camp is huge and is outdoors." I stated, giving Apollo the 'duh' look.

He just waved his hand "Psshhh, whatever. Come one kids we're going to go for a walk!" He proceeded to grab us out of our seats and drag us down the aisle.

"Again, I repeat, it's raining." Nico said.

"So!" Apollo cheerfully said, now having fully dragged us outside.

Nico looked completely miserable, having been soaked to the bone already. Apollo stood next to him humming absentmindedly. I spoke up first. "Uh, Apollo can we get an umbrella over here." I pointed to Nico, who was now shaking terribly from cold.

"Oh, yeah sure." Apollo chirped. Two umbrellas materialized out of nowhere. One was pitch black with a little skull on the handle, while the other was blue with a trident etched on the handle. He handed each umbrella to the respectful owner. "There you go!"

Nico gratefully took his and hid underneath it. I, on the other hand, looked at Apollo weirdly. "Why do I need one? I don't get wet." I stated showed by sticking out a hand in the cold rain, then taking it back and showed Apollo. Showing it was dry.

There was an audible 'pop!' and a bright yellow umbrella materialized. Apollo snapped it open putting over his head. "To blend in, now turn wet. We don't want people wondering how a girl can be completely dry in the middle of a storm.

I blinked. I can will myself to be wet or not wet? Cool!

I closed my umbrella. Feeling the ice, cold drops, I willed myself to feel the water. In a second I was wet, cold, and shaking. Opening my umbrella, I began to feel myself wanting to strangle Apollo more, and more for dragging us out in the middle of a storm.

I shuffled over to Nico. "And I thought Dionysus was the crazy one." I whispered to him. We both snickered.

"I heard that!" Apollo sang, skipping past us.

We walked in silence. I glanced around, seeing nothing out of particular. We were in some sort of city that was quite dark and foreboding looking. Kind of reminded me of….of….

"Apollo!" I screeched.

He turned around. "Yes?"

I pointed to a billboard I had spotted: Gotham Theater now presenting Swan Lake. Tickets on sale now!

"Did you take us on a walk in one of the crime capitols in the world?"

"Oh, yep, I guess I did." He continued skipping down the street.

My eye twitched. "Unlike you Apollo, Nico and I aren't immortal! Come on Nico, we're heading back to the bus." I gripped his wrist pulling him along without hearing his protest.

"Okay, you be careful kids!"

I growled slightly.

Lighting lit up the sky. The pitter-patter of the rain was the only thing that could be heard except for the occasional car flying by.

"Um," Nico spoke, shrinking back seeing my slightly irritated face. "do you know where the bus even is?"

"Of course I know where it is!" I snapped.

1 hour later.

"We are completely and utterly lost." I moaned sitting on a curb.

Nico sat next to me, awkwardly patting my shoulder. "Look on the Brightside, it's not like it can get any worse. Right?"

A car zoomed by, hitting the puddle beside us. Spraying water at Nico and I. We stood up, completely wet.

I gave the water on me a disgusted look. "Ew." I closed my eyes and willed myself to become waterproof again. The water slid off me. Nico on the other hand wasn't so lucky.

"Ugh! This is disgusting!" He shouted.

I awkwardly patted his shoulder. "There, there."

Nico looked at me miserably. "Can you make me dry?"

"I guess I can try…" I closed my eyes putting my hand on Nico's shoulder. I thought of the water just slipping off of Nico. When I opened my eyes again there was a puddle of water next to Nico, who was now completely dry.

I burst into a wide grin. "I did it!"

"Too bad we can't stay dry. Be too weird, if we're walking in the rain completely dry."

I cursed in Ancient Greek. Why was Zeus so grumpy today, it had been raining for an hour now. And it didn't seem like his mood was getting any better, now it wasn't just pouring and thundering. Oh no, now it was windy blowing rain everywhere, and dropped about three degrees.

Shielding myself with my umbrella I continued walking.

BOOM!

The ground below us shuddered, throwing us off our feet. For a second I thought the ground would launch us in the sky, but it didn't. The noise was an explosion.

"What was that?" Nico yelled, over the noise of the rain.

"Nothing good!" I yelled back, grabbing his wrist running away from the area.

…only to run into another body?

I stared fearfully at the person. The guy in front of me was about six foot, with an insane like grin. His face was dressed with make-up like a clown's. Greasy green hair sat atop his head, slicked back. He wore a dark purple, baggy pinstripe suit, with matching leather gloves. Underneath he wore a orange dress shirt, with a green ribbon.

The Joker.

"Well, well, what do we have here? Did you like my explosion?" He cackled. "Two little kitties wondering the streets of Gotham." Joker leaned closer to us. "Tell me, what's your name's kids?"

"Our name's our none of your concern." I spat out coldly.

"Hmm, feisty aren't you?" He squinted at me. "Why, you seem familiar." He leaned closer to me, till our noses were almost touching. Suddenly, he pulled back, his face full of glee. "Haha! I can't believe it, your one of Wayne's brats! What was your name, Hope, Mandy? Wait, no! Holly Grayson! That's it. Holly Grayson, the orphaned circus brat."

I froze. I'm in deep poo.

"Tell me girl, where have you been all these years?"

"Why should I tell a freak like you?" I inquired.

Joker glared. "I should just kill you. Not like little Brucey's going to miss you." Joker began circling Nico and I "You know what happened when you left? Nothing. Nothing changed. Your 'dear old dad' just partied and partied. Didn't show a hint of remorse if you ask me." He stopped in front of me. "But why would he, cause all you are girly is a burden."

I don't really know what happened, next thing I know the Joker is on the ground holding his nose. My fist was next to me clenched tightly. I stomped over to the Joker, I slammed a foot into his stomach. "Don't talk about him like that, and he is not my father!"

The Joker smirked. "Hit a nerve, I see." He grabbed my foot, slamming me into the concrete.

Groaning, I picked myself up. Nico shut his umbrella, and snuck up behind the Joker, before slamming the umbrella to his temple. Seeing that the Joker was down, I took this opportunity to kick the Joker's side.

As Joker was curled up in pain, I grabbed Nico's hand pulling him in a run with me. Our umbrellas lay on the ground forgotten, leaving us soaked to the bone. The rain was coming down so heavily that it was hard to see.

I growled in frustration when another round of rain blew into my face. Not seeing where I was going, I slipped on a slippery patch of concrete. I fell, taking Nico down with me.

In our attempts to untangle ourselves and get up, we failed to notice the Joker got up. He yanked us upwards by our shirts. "Well, aren't you bad little kids."

Where was Batman, when you needed him?

Joker shook us. "You little punks, thought you could get away from me? Oh no, you can't get away." He slammed us into the ground face first.

You know, as matter of fact, where the freakin' Hades are the cops!

Joker slammed us into ground again. "There you go brats, that's how I feel about now."

I dazedly spat at his face. "Wow, how low can you get? Beating up kids? That's just sad Joker."

He growled at me, pulling out a pocketknife. "Let's see how cocky you are when I carve you a little smile."

"Not going to happen, Joker."

A bataraang flew at Joker's hand knocking the knife out of it. Joker hissed letting go of us. He looked. "Well, look at that, it's Batsy himself!"

"What are you doing Joker." Batman said in his gruff voice.

Joker laughed gleefully. "I'm teaching these kids a lesson, Batsy! You should be proud of me, I found the long lost Grayson! You know one of Wayne's brats!"

I cringed slightly, knowing Batman was staring at me. Why me?

A dark shadow, who presumed was Batman, flew into Joker. Taking this as an opportunity to get up, I shot up to my feet. I stumbled putting a hand to my head dizzily. Stupid Joker.

Once I helped Nico to his feet, we gazed at the fight. Batman was currently beating the crap out of Joker.

Okay, then.

Five minutes late, Batman had already efficiently knocked out Joker and called the police to take him to Arkham.

Nico stared wide-eyed at Batman. "Woah."

I just glared crossed my arms and looked away. Stupid Bruce.

"Batman's looking at you" Nico whispered.

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever." I turned and walked away.

"You stop right there Holly."

I stopped and turned around. "And why should I?"

Batman glared. In a flash he was gripping my arm dragging me towards the Batmobile. I fought against him, but man, his grip was like steel!

"Let go!"

"No."

"But I have to be somewhere!"

"And where would that be?"

"…In Jump City with the Teen Titans." I grumbled

Batman's lips twitched as if amused. "Well, then I'll call them up. A family reunion is up to due."

I smirked as I realized something. "What about Nico?"

Batman turned to Nico gave him a calculating look. "Kid looks like he can keep a secret." My face fell.

Darn it!

ROBIN

Robin paced back and forth.

"Friend Robin, please do the thing of chill. I'm sure the guests shall be here soon." Starfire tried to console.

Robin continued pacing. "Star, they suppose to be here forty minutes ago, I can do anything but chill."

A beeping from the monitor took Robin's attention. Suddenly the monitor blinked out of the game BB was playing.

"Aww, man! I was about to get the top score!" Beast Boy whined.

A face popped onto the screen. Starfire gasped in horror. "There is a bat on our TV!"

Robin glared at his former mentor. "Batman." He stated coldly.

"Robin." The bat greeted in a similar matter.

"Why are you calling?" Robin growled with hostility.

Batman smirked. "Funny, Holly sounded just as hostile."

Robin's domino masks eyes widened. Starfire sniffed and crossed her arms. "And who is this Holly you speak of?"

"No one." Robin said waving his hand.

Batman was suddenly pushed off his seat and a girl was glaring pointing at the screen. The Titan's, except Robin, gasped. The girl in front of them looked exactly like their leader; except for her hair and eyes.

"I'm not no one!" The girl, Holly said.

"Holly!" Batman yelled.

She turned to glare at him (Which amazed the Titans on how much back bone she had) She jumped off the screen, mumbling about stupid bats.

Batman cleared his throat. "Anyways, just come to Gotham immediately." The screen blinked out.

Everyone turned to Robin, with hopeful stares. Throwing back his head he groaned. "Fine. Go pack."

The Titans rushed out leaving their leader in the Main Room with his thoughts.

8B -Its Buck Tooth Bob!

The other day when I checked to see how many reviews I had, I was like 80

40 reviews! That's amazing! I love you guys sooo much! *Gives all reviewers a free virtual hug and cookie*

Oh and the contest results are *drumroll*

Titans go to GOTHAM!

and I'm doing these pairings RobxStar, BBxRae, something, something!

Just to tell you there isn't really going to be a lot of romance so don't be like 'OMG! ROB and STAR should totally make out, and lye Holly should walk in on them!" (Even though that would be kinda funny to write )

So, without further or do review! (and you'll be able to rhyme!)
