I don't own Young Justice or Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

Chapter 3:

30 minutes earlier…

Wally and Artemis had just zipped off to who knows where. The team was in a daze. "Where had they gone?" was the only thought. Robin was the first to recover.

"Well? What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Kaldur was next. He nodded.

"They most likely have returned to the Cave. Let us follow them."

Five Minutes Later…

When the team had arrived, Wally and Artemis were gone.

"Robin, check the Zeta. See if they left for another destination." Robin nodded.

Robin looked up from the Zeta controls.

"Well?" Kaldur asked.

"Someone, Roy I suspect, tried to cover up their tracks. But I was able to track their location. They're in Manhattan. But what's in Manhattan?" The rest of the team looked confused, also.

"Well, whatever is there, we must follow. They are our teammates. And our friends. Robin, set up the Zeta. Make sure the League cannot track us."

Robin smirked.

"Done. You lost me at 'Whatever'." Kaldur only nodded.

"Let us go." And the rest of the team followed Kaldur and Robin through the portal.

*LINE BREAKING!*

"Ummmm…. Manhattan looks very, uhhhh, interesting." Megan said.

"You mean disgusting." Conner added helpfully.

"Hey… If disgusting means gross, what does gusting mean?" Robin pipes in. Everybody just groaned.

"What's wrong with my words?" Robin looked confused.

They had been walking down the street, totally ignoring everything during this conversation. Otherwise, somebody would have noticed a large group of kids heading into a building. That included their teammates.

They wandered around for a few more minutes, until Robin had the brilliant idea of asking someone if they had seen their missing teammates. They walked into the nearest building (which happened to be a McDonalds) to ask the said question.

"The worker said that a few kids were in here earlier. Said something about the Empire State Building?" he looked puzzled by this revelation.

"Perhaps we should check this… Empire State Building?" Kaldur inquired.

Robin shrugged.

"Worth a shot."

*LINE BREAKING!*

The only things the team saw in the lobby was an elevator, and an old guard sitting at a desk, reading a book with a flower on it.

"Excuse me." Megan asked, "Have you seen a red-headed boy and a blond girl? Their names are Wally and Artemis." She smiled sweetly. The guard grunted.

"A blond and a red-head? You wouldn't believe how many I saw. They went to the top." He frowned. "You're mortal, aren't you? You can't go to the top." Conner objected immediately.

"Why not"

"Ummm… Only one group at a time at the top. Plus, that was a pretty big group that went up. Just wait for your friends down here." Conner heard him mumble.

"They should pay me more for this job. Son of Iris, and they give me this job. 'Meet new mortals,' they said. 'Good pay.' They said. Bah! I should quite." Conner relayed this, via mind link.

"He doesn't sound very happy." He added.

"Yeah. But who's Iris?" Megan asked.

"Iris is the ancient Greek goddess of rainbows." Conner and Robin said, almost simultaneously.

"But what does it mean? Is it some sort of code?" Kaldur asked.

"I don't know, Kaldur, I don't know." Robin replied.

*LINE BREAKING!*
20 minutes later…

Robin was getting impatient. Even calm Kaldur and sweet Megan were at the end of their patience. He was about to suggest going to go get something to eat, when the elevator dinged. A black-haired boy, a blond girl, Artemis, Wally, and Roy stepped out. The black-haired boy and blond girl did not seem to recognize them, but Wally and Artemis groaned.

"We're in trouble, aren't we?" They asked.

*LINE BREAKING!*

"What were you thinking?" The dark-skinned boy asked. Percy immediately dubbed him "Fish Boy". He smelled like the sea to him. Annabeth thought he had the same air of leadership as Percy. Anyway, the boy did not look pleased. In fact, none of the rest of the kids (The red-head girl dubbed "Ms. Preppy", the small, black-haired boy named "Spiky," and the taller, black-haired boy, "Muscles." in Percy's mind.) looked happy. Artemis seemed to shrink back a little but then shestood up straight.

"Family matters. Now go home before you get hurt."

Spiky scowled behind his sunglasses.

"You know what we're capable of. We can handle whatever you're doing." Wally shook his head.

"No, Rob. You don't know what we're up against. Not this time." Spik- I mean, Rob scowled again.

"Don't make me bring B into this." He threatened, "And GA, BC, and F into this," He added. Wally, Artemis, and Roy all paled.

"Oh gods no, don't tell them!" Wally begged. Muscles cocked his head.

"Gods?" Artemis glared at Wally. He had the decency to look sheepish.

"Oops?"

*LINE BREAKING!*

Artemis turned towards the blond girl.

"Please, Annabeth? Can we tell them?" The girl gave her a look.

"Why?" Artemis started to look desperate.

"They may be able to help us!" Another look.

"How?" Artemis walked over to her, and then whispered into her ear. The blonde's grey eyes widened, and then she nodded. Artemis walked over to the rest of the team.

"Come one," she said, "Let me explain everything."

*LINE BREAKING!*

Artemis led the team out of the building. She looked distracted, until Wally tapped her.

"Arty? Are you going to tell them?" She glared at Wally.

"Of course I'm going to tell them! I was wondering how to start! And don't call me Arty!" Robin coughed at that exact moment, which suspiciously sounded like 'Lovebirds!'. The two "lovebirds" glared at him. Robin just smiled.

"Anyway," Roy interrupted the soon-to-be-staring contest, "Artemis, are you going to explain or not?" Artemis sighed.

"Have you ever heard of Greek gods and goddesses?"

*LINE BREAKING!*
10 minutes later…

"—So you're telling me that Greek myths exist?" Robin questioned. Wally winced.

"Yeah. But don't call them myths."

"And you are the children of said gods?" he continued.

"Yes." Artemis replied.

"And an evil titan has returned from the Underworld, and is attempting to destroy all of Western Civilization?" he finished.

"Yes!" Roy, Wally, and Artemis said, exasperated.

He grinned and cackled.

"Then why didn't you say so!" He turned to Kaldur. "Let's go kill some monsters!"
