Angelic Consequences
Chapter 3: People Are So Weird
Athena's POV
I wasn't nervous; no I was just contemplating the fact that the people wouldn't like me. Or that I would make a complete fool of myself. Either one worked. The Bat-mobile had just arrived in Mount Justice and I was so beginning to panic. Which really made me want to smack myself since panic got me here in the first place. I tried not to show any emotion but I don't think it was really fooling anyone.
"Nerves can cause you to make mistakes and might give away your identity." Batman told me. Great way to rub it in man.
"Sorry." I told him.
"Did you tell them you were bringing someone in?" Robin asked.
"Yes." Batman replied.
Normal POV
As they walked inside Athena could hear some of the murmurs. She had calmed her self down. From the tunnel she could see some of the mentors inside. "Why are all the mentors here?" she asked Robin, he shrugged not really knowing himself. The walked inside to see all eyes on them. They felt the air move and Flash appearing there. He grabbed onto Batman's shoulder.
"So, who's the girl Bats?" he asked. Batman walked behind Robin and Athena grabbing their shoulders.
"Destina has been trained to be Robin's partner in Gotham, she has done some work and now she's joining the team." Batman said in a voice that said people had no say in it. Nobody said anything. All the mentors left because of a distress call leaving all of the teens there.
Once the teens made sure, they were completely gone the young heroes moved. Kid-Flash was the first one. He grabbed Athena's hand and looked at her in the mask. "Hey, beautiful welcome to the team." Robin got mad but saw the face Athena was making trying to hold in her chuckles.
"Hi, Kid Flash I've read a lot about you." she replied. Robin knew she was so lying. Man the girl looked so trained by the Bat.
"So, do we get a name or are you secretive as Robin?" Kid-Flash asked. Aqua-lad was close to smacking Wally but Athena stopped him.
"My name is Destina." it really took all Robin had not to laugh. But Artemis did. Aqua-lad moved toward them.
"Is good to meet you, Destina." Aqua-lad said. Megan flowed toward her and clapped her hands.
"Oh, is good to have another team-member we can hang out and stuff." she went on talking and Athena kept her face blank nodding once in a while. She saw Kaya smiling her way. Destina looked to see Super-boy and just nodded his way. He nodded back. She felt rather welcomed here.
"Well is good to have you here. Welcome to the team at-least I won't be the new girl anymore." Artemis said in quite a rude tone. To others it would seem like she was being mean but Athena could see the way Artemis might feel. Not everyone had been nice to her on her first time her. And here she was being welcomed with almost opened arms. She felt bad than just smiled.
"Thank-you, Artemis, is nice to meet you as well." Artemis just smiled. She didn't see what Athena saw. She didn't see the angel and the demon behind her battling Artemis was weird she still wasn't defined, so with her soul so to speak was still up for grabs. The angel was winning for now but if Artemis made a wrong move the demon would get ground. Not only that the demon tended to try his hands at one of the teens, so Athena had to take care of Robin. She turned and smiled at the rest of the team.
"Thank-you all is very nice to be in the team." the teens nodded and looked toward Robin.
"Robin, how is your shot wound?" Aqua-lad asked.
"It's fixed." Robin replied. He shot a looked toward Athena, that none of the others could notice. When they were in the Bat-cave Athena fixed his shoulder up so he wouldn't be worried about the wounds at all.
They moved toward the kitchen, where Megan had made cookies. KF was eating them and Athena tried it as well. They didn't really bother her and Megan had gotten better. Not many of the cookies were burned.
They spent the time knowing each other and when it came time Robin took Athena to her new room. Which was exactly next to his. "I think they really liked you." Robin stated. She smiled.
"Yeah, it's kind of of weird to interact with them since I only saw them from another perspective." She told him. Athena kind of felt weird, grateful. That was the word, grateful. She waved to the room. "I won't be able to personalize it." she stated.
"Not unless you want Bat's to kill us." Robin said and they both laugh. They went out of the room. Well Athena kind of followed Robin out to be courteous. Robin turned to her. "Well goodnight." he told her. Athena smiled and hugged him really tight. They never really noticed that some of the others were coming close and saw them hug.
"Thank-you for everything." she said. "Oh and tell Bat's that I said thank-you as well." she let him go and kissed his cheek. Robin was red as a beet that he didn't really notice Athena had closed the door on his face. He walked toward his room and just lay down.
Athena POV
What had I done? Okay I kissed him on the cheek no big deal; I was really close to him anyways. There was nothing wrong with it, right. I went to lie down on the bed and changed to a sleeping wear. Things were so nice. That would be a way to put it. I was close to Robin so nothing could happen to him.
Batman didn't trust me but he made sure I didn't mess up my job. The team seemed nice. I didn't want to be a party pooper for myself. But when it would come to fighting I didn't know if I would be good enough.
I heard some of the others go to sleep, so I close my eyes. Minutes passed and I was close to falling asleep, if it wasn't for the fact that I felt the presence. I got up immediately. I saw the red light and the smell of sewers was in the air. To others anyone it wouldn't smell like anything. To me well it wasn't a nice smell at all.
Getting out of the room, I knocked on Robin's room the light had gone inside there. I didn't know the presence but it had to come form the other demon here. I knocked a little louder, but not enough to make the others get up. I was worrying about Super-boys hearing. He didn't answer and I wanted to smack myself. I can shift inside there, duh.
I concentrated hard enough and when I opened them I was inside the room. Robin was sleeping. But I saw the figure in the top of his head. My wings spread out and I went to get the thing. It was a nasty one too, all black with the hubs and his eyes red, head of a human with horns and enlarge teeth. His hands were complete claws and he had wings but his were bat like.
"Get away from him." I told him. He just grinned. I jumped and landed right on his shoulders. If I was quiet enough I could get out of the room without worrying about Robin waking up.
"What is wrong, feather back broke the rules?' he asked. I kicked him in the gut.
"None of your business." I replied. He hit me with one of his claws and I got a sword out of my hands. The fight began again.
But he kicked me to the wall and it woke Robin up. "What is going on?" he asked.
"Don't move." I ordered. The demon looked at me.
"Hmm. He is able to see you." he stated.
"He is able to hear you as well, Madox, now get away, or I will kill you." I told him. I felt kind of the side-effects of the venom from the claws in my arm. Madox laugh.
"You know he will come back, to take his charge back." he told me. I didn't look at Robin because I wasn't going to explain right now. But I could feel his eyes on my head.
"I will be ready." I told him. He made one more move and this time it was for robin. I don't know, how I did it, but I moved fast and I think KF would so be jealous of it. I pointed the sword upward and with a poof of smoke I killed him. I moved and sat on the floor.
"Okay, what just happened?" he asked.
"Demon." I told him. I laid my head on the side of the bed. Robin came down to the floor and checked on me.
"You okay?' he asked. I looked at him.
"Yes and no, fighting a demon is hard, I can heal but it does take a bit out of you." I raised myself and felt my gaze turned hazy. Then I fell.
Normal POV
Robin caught Athena after she fell. He didn't think she would be this exhausted. Than again it was kind of freaky, he heard the voice of the other one just like he had been able with the angel. He did catch the last words of the demon. Something about someone coming to take his charge back. He was going to have to ask her later, when she woke up.
He carried her over to his bed, because he heard Super-boy and him walking out with an unconscious Athena wouldn't look exactly good. So he just laid her there. He bed was a bit big, so he laid on the other side, putting an extra blanket as a barrier for them. He covered and her and went to sleep himself. He had questions and hoped that Athena would answer them. He was trained by Batman after all.
When Athena woke up the next morning she was refreshed and felt like she could conquer the world. Then everything came flashing back. She groan and felt back into the bed.
"You know for an angel I would expect for you to be up early." she opened her eyes to see Robin sitting in the chair next to his desk.
"Oh, hey." she told him. Than it kind of came to her. Why wasn't she in her room? This was clearly Robin's. "Sorry." she told him.
"No prob." Robin told her. Athena than noticed Robin wouldn't really look at her and she wondered why. She looked at herself and noticed she was in her Pajamas. She got up and got close to the door.
"I should go…" she was going to leave but a question stopped her.
"Who is the person coming to take his charge back?" Athena really hoped that he would forget that. But she knew he wouldn't might as well tell him.
"How long before the rest of them wake up?" she asked.
"You should know." he told her. "That and you're not getting out of here until I get answers; I think after witnessing a fight in my bedroom, I need to know." Robin demanded. Athena put her head on the door. She turned slowly and saw him.
"Robin I wasn't your first guardian angel." she said.
