Chapter 4:

The battle was long and hard. Well, of course it was! It was a freaking battle! But anyway…

When he was flying on the sow, Percy swore he saw Roy and Artemis running across the rooftops, shooting arrows. And when the drakon was killed, he swore he saw a red blur behind enemy lines. And whenever the red blur appeared, a monster disintegrated. He thought he once saw a green girl flying! It didn't help him when he thought he saw Kaldur wielding… Were those water swords? It also freaked him out when there was this creepy laugh, and then something exploded. But he wrote it off as the Mist. Except for the exploding part. Even the Mist can't cover that up.

*LINE BREAKING!*

All the demigods lined up in the throne room. Well, that's what the demigods thought. There was also an Atlantean, Martian, Kryptonian, and a mortal, not that they knew that. Only Annabeth and Clarisse did. One by one, all of the demigods were called up. They were praised by their bravery and honor. The injured were healed, and the dead mourned. Artemis and Roy received quivers that never ran out of arrows. Wally was given a pair of shoes that were charmed so that he would never trip. Then the party started. Most of the demigods stayed up 'til 11 or later, but not a certain group of teenage heroes. They only stayed until 6:30.

"Perhaps we should return to the Cave. Our mentors are probably wondering where we are." Kaldur spoke quietly.

Robin moaned. "I totally forgot! We disappeared off the radar a few hours ago! Bats is gonna freak!"

Wally groaned too. "I better be home for dinner! My mom…" he trailed off, thinking of the horrors.

"Let's go!" Wally sprinted off in the direction of the elevator. The rest of the team trailed behind him.

When they had finally caught up to Wally, they found him stopped by three men. The first was a man with salt-and-pepper hair and laugh lines around his eyes. He and Wally were laughing at some joke.

The second man was tan, and was wearing a Tommy Bahama shirt. He too was laughing. The third man had a much more serious, platinum striped suit on. But his mouth was slightly curved. That soon changed when he saw the 6 teenagers approaching.

The third man cleared his throat. The other two stopped laughing, but did not stop smiling. The third started speaking hesitantly.

"We… we gods would like to, er, thank you heroes for ummm… assisting our children defending Olympus. In return, we would, uh, like to reward you for *cough* helping. For you, Ms. M'orzz, this dagger." He handed her a six-inch dagger made of celestial bronze. He turned towards Conner. "For you, Mr. Kent, this charm. It will help you fly." He could see his eyes light up, and he smiled slightly.

The second man stepped forward. "Kaldur'ahm, I present you with this charm. It will help you stay hydrated above water." Kaldur nodded.

"Thank you, Lord…" He trailed off, not knowing the god's name.

The man smiled. "Poseidon." Kaldur's eyes widened. He bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Lord Poseidon." Robin snickered. It looked like he was about to kiss the god's hand and scream, "I'M NOT WORTHY!" The first ma—sorry, god coughed. Everyone's attention turned towards him.

"And I would like to present this to Mr. Gra—"Poseidon nudged him, "Robin." He handed him a dagger like Megan's. "It's charmed to help you hide in the smallest of shadows." He grinned slightly. "That's my domain: Hermes, lord of sneaking around and practical jokes. Mr. Grumpy-Pants is Zeus." He pointed towards the third god, who glared at him. Hermes ignored it. "One last thing." He leaned towards Wally, and whispered something in his ear. Wally turned red as his hero's costume, but nodded. Hermes clapped his hands. "Well, I'm not one for love advice-"

They all heard "That's my job!" echoed around the courtyard.

"—But I think it's time for you to go." He turned towards Zeus, asking a silent question. Zeus nodded.

"You can tell them." Everyone looked confused, but Robin paled slightly as he realized what Hermes was talking about. He was in hot water now…

*LINE BREAKING!*

The team stepped into the elevator. Robin was continually getting paler, thinking about the punishment he would receive. It didn't help that 'Stayin' Alive' was playing in the background.

Finally, the elevator dinged and opened. And you'll never guess who was waiting for them! Batman, Flash, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter. All in civilian clothing, of course. And they looked mad.

"You've got some explaining to do." Batman-but-not-Batman growled.

Wally fidgeted. He didn't like the looks he was receiving from his Uncle Barry. He laughed nervously.

"Hehe… Well, gotta run!" He tried to speed off. Keyword being tried. Flash grabbed him before he could get far.

"Explain. Now." The enraged Batman-in-civilian-clothing growled. Robin paled and decided that Batman was not in the mood. He started talking.

"Well… It all started with a phone call…"
