Angelic Consequences
Chapter 10: Some Truths
Normal POV
Things had been getting hectic with the Young Justice group. They had been getting into bigger missions now since the 'Big Guys' in the watchtower let them do it. But Athena was still a bit out of it. It seemed that every time she went out in the field she kept seeing Marcus and she knew that he could only confide on Robin because he knew more about the deal than anyone else. Miss Martian tried to help when Athena's emotions went wild but she be rudely pushed out because that was the way it worked.

It had been two weeks since the team had gotten missions. It felt off considering they had been getting good stuff. Now it was as if crime was slowing down. The team was currently in Mount Justice try to get over their boredom.
"Destina; Do you want to bake cookies?" Miss M asked Athena who happened to be sitting on the bar with Robin.
"I guess." Athena replied. Much to Robins surprise and smiled.
Miss M and Athena worked in the kitchen and were able for the first time make cookies without burning them at all.
"Yay the cookies came out fine." Miss M said. Kid Flash came and smiled at both girls.
"Cookies." He said. He began eating them and Robin was able to get one before he in-hail them all.
"This is great." KF said between the bites.
"Thanks, Destina helped." M'gann said.
"Good job, babe." KF said smiling getting a small glare from Robin.
"Team report to the Monitor Womb immediately." Batman's voice came. Everyone moved toward the Monitor Womb to get a mission.

Monitor Womb
"Team we have received word that Sports-master is going to be transporting weapons from Lex- Corp to Queen Bee in the coast of Metropolis." Batman said. "The team will be sent to stop that transportation to Queen Bee's troops."
"Anything else?" Aqualad asked.
"No, you can go now." Batman said.
The team moved toward their destination for this mission.

Bio-Ship
Destina kept looking at the window trying to find something anything that could help her.
'Stop freaking out.' She heard the voice and turned to see Kaya looking at her. 'You'll find out when you're supposed to.'
Athena didn't say anything because she couldn't it would be weird.
"Hey, you okay?" Robin asked her.
"Yeah, just a lot of thoughts it my head." She whispered.
"You know we would like to know what you two are whispering about." Artemis said in a bad-mood. Something Athena had gotten used to when they faced any of her family members.
"Bat business." Athena answered.
"I can't understand why Big Supes can't deal with this." Artemis said.
"Artemis, Superman is in off world mission." Aqualad said.
"Weren't you complaining we hadn't gotten a mission in two weeks?" Superboy told her. Artemis didn't say anything and no one else did either. The ride was very quiet.

Metropolis –Athena's POV
I felt something off once M'gann put the bio-ship down. I didn't like it; I felt the air was very thick.
'Is everyone connected?' Aqualad asked all of us through the metal link.
'Yes.' Was the answer from all of us.
'Robin and Destina go check what you can find, Superboy go with them.' Aqualad ordered us.
'KF go with Artemis to take down the guards around the ship.'
'Yes sir.' KF said.
Robin and I moved like a team with Super-boy behind us keeping a bit of a look out. When they arrived in the control room Robin did all the hacking taking everything out they needed and stopping the ship from going anywhere.
The mission was easy for us and I didn't like that. As we walked out of the control room, I felt something hit. Me the only thing I saw next was my body flying to other side of the room.

Normal POV
"Well if it isn't Destina because we don't want to give your secret identity away, now do we?" Robin and Super-boy turned to see a man with bat wings and red skin. Superboy launched himself at the man in-front of him just to be batted away like a fly. Robin went to check on Athena to make sure she was okay.
"Please, Hybrid you don't need to get in this." the demon answered. Athena got on her knees before she looked at the man standing there.
"What do you want Io?" she asked. The Demon 'Io' as was now known looked at her.
"I came to see you." He touched a hand to his chin and crossed his arms. "Now how is it that the best behaved one ended up being sentence to visibility?" he asked. Athena hissed.
"None of your business." Athena said.
"Oh still have that fire in you." Io said.
"Superboy take Robin out of here, Jin take care of both of them." Athena ordered.
Before Superboy or Robin could move a small group of demons appeared.
"You didn't think I would make it easy for you, now did you?" Io asked her. He let the wings span just as Superboy and Robin went to take down the demons. Athena took out her wings and her weapon to do battle.
"Now this is what I was waiting for." Io said.
Io and Athena went at it. Io tried to sink his claws into Athena but she would kick him a few times in the face. She grabbed him and sent him into a wall. She saw that he had gone down a little bit and turned to help Superboy and Robin.
They began to fight Athena jump on top of Robin almost like leap-frog to quick the demons away from him.
"I can do this." Robin told her.
"I know." Athena said but she didn't want him to have to because this one was her side of the wall to deal with.
"It seems your charge there is very testy." Io said.
"Stay out of this demon." Athena snapped.
She moved quickly and kicked him a few times before she could do anything. Io didn't back down and tried to rip at her with his claws but she moved to fast for him. Superboy was able to get a hit on Io taking him down and pounding him on a bit.
Robin was beating some of the smaller demons and just as he was going to destroy the last. Athena saw something that got her moving quickly to his side. The smaller moved almost in slow motion.
"Robin!" she said and moved him out of the way and she felt the claws get ingrained in her back. Athena let out a scream that made both Superboy and Robin look in shock. They had never seen Athena bleed and seeing it now was something they couldn't describe at all.
Io pushed Superboy away from him. "Well my job is done…" he didn't get to finish anything else because a sword went through him like nothing. Superboy and Robin were shock when they saw the demon light up like a candle and turn into complete ash. The men that was behind; what used to be Io looked at the girl on the floor. He moved too quickly for them to notice.

Marcus POV
I knew something bad was going to happen. I didn't think they would send someone after Athena though. But it also told me I was close to getting them. I turned Athena so I could see the wounds more clearly. I was going to remove the cape, when a strong hand clapped mine.
"Let go of me, Superboy." I told him and turned to face him.
"You can hurt her." Super-boy said. I knew something like this would happen so I turned to my old charge.
"Robin, I need to help her, we need to get to the mountain." I told him.
"Who are you?" he asked me.
"Like if you don't know." I told him. I heard Athena moan in pain and knew we needed to get her out of here. "Robin, she can die." That seemed to get the teen's head going.
"Fine, but if you hurt her." Robin said with a glare that was close to his mentor's.
"I wouldn't harm her." I told him.

Normal POV
Robin didn't know what to do. He was in-front of his ex-guardian angel and his current one was dying. How could this be fair? As they met the rest of the team, they saw the girl in the man arms.
"Who's this?" Kaldur asked.
"This is Marcus and we need to the cave pronto." Robin told Miss M.
"You expect us to just leave with a stranger." Artemis said with an attitude.
KF looked at Athena and knew something bad had happened.
"Miss M let's go." KF said, he felt panic it for some reason he knew it wasn't his panic but the person behind him.
"We can't leave with a stranger to the cave." Kaldur said. Robin was about to overruled him when Marcus just grabbed him.
"See you at the cave." Marcus said and moved up to the sky with speed they hadn't seen. Miss M moved up trying to stop them but Marcus just moved to fast and blocked her telepathy.
In the air Robin just felt the wind in his face before he made a comment.
"If you could do that, why did you make us go through the whole conversation?" he said. Marcus raised his eyes to the heavens.
"It was amusing." Marcus said.
"Hardy, Har, har." Robin said.

They arrived to the mountain and where met by Batman and Red Tornado. Batman recognized the girl in Marcus's arms and gave him a Bat-glare.
"It wasn't me old man, it was a demon." Marcus told not only Bats but his own Father. Marcus moved with Athena to the infirmary with Robin behind him and Batman just the same.
The Bio-ship arrived a few minutes later and the first one to get down was Kid-Flash.
"Hey, RT, where are Bat's and Robin?" he asked.
"I believe they're in the infirmary with the winged angel and her companion." Red Tornado said.
"Great, got to go." KF said and moved fast. Kaldur and the rest of the team came down.
"Red Tornado an intruder came here with Robin and a girl we didn't recognized, do you know where they are?"
"Affirmative, they are in the infirmary but the two people don't seem hostile and Batman is with them." Red Tornado said.
#
In The Infirmary
KF arrived just in time when they were stabilizing Athena back into health. But he also arrived during an argument.
"Why were demons, going after them?' Batman asked Marcus.
"It doesn't concern you." Marcus said.
"When, Robin and the team is involve it is my concern." Batman said. "Who are you to tell me Athena is not my concern."
"I'm her older brother and his ex-guardian angel." Marcus told Batman pointing to both Athena and Robin. "My family is in danger of being killed, that mean you, and KF and Robin are the mains ones I have to worry about. I'm looking for the demon that is sending this dangers to them because if I don't it will get to everyone."
"Why am I involved?" KF asked. Marcus just looked at him.
"Because; my mother is your guardian angel." Marcus said. Robin looked at Marcus.
"You're saying Athena was right about her mother being her best friend." Robin said. "But why didn't you tell her."
"That's not the way it works, you learn thing as you grow older, Athena is your age she can't know most of the things though I am trying to change that." Marcus said.
"Why?" KF asked.
"The same reason you built this team, I'm getting tired of being treated like a kid because trust me after all we see in this filed we don't stay kids for long." Marcus told them. Robin and Batman didn't say anything because they both knew what he meant.
"Wait are you going to stay here?" KF asked.
"Yup, I think it's time she finds out the truth." Marcus said and he moved to her side. The same time Robin did because he couldn't be away from Athena. As KF and Batman left Marcus looked at Robin.
"You know this isn't over right?"
Robin knew that but he didn't say anything.
