***I do not own Young Justice or any DC Charters or plot lines.***
And that's how the night went. The adults decided to leave their teens and go discuss in Artemis's turf. While the teens would finish the rounds here. Swan and Arrowette led the team around the area. The two girls on their bikes, joined by batgirl, robin and hammerhead on theirs. Impulse ran alongside them with Martian boy, Miss Martian and Supergirl flying overhead.
"So.. I take it that you don't want us in your area huh?" Impulse asked Swan as they drove along the road.
"I just don't like how you came uninvited or unannounced is all. I like my turf to stay my turf. It's not like I go and run around Gotham or Central City without giving you guys a heads up or anything." Swan told her. The rest of the night was quiet. The teens didn't run into anything for the next half hour when they got a call saying to go back to the house. Driving into the large garage they parked their bikes and showed the Bats where to park theirs. When they parked and took the helmets off the adults were already in the house. Swan, Arrowette and Hammerhead put their belts on the work bench while Arrowette put her bow and quiver up next to their moms Swan took all her weapons out of her suit and put them back. Hammerhead put his waterbeares on the counter next to Tempests. The other teens looked at the counter seeing their parents weapons and masks on the counter they followed suit.
"Dad doesn't like having Hero weapons in the house," Freya said shrugging as she looked at the teens. They opened the door to the house and stepped in allowing the others to come in before hitting a switch that hid the counter holding all the gear. They walked through a small hallway that opened into a large kitchen. The adults were all talking but what shocked the teens was that their Grandparents and other parent were at the house.
"Ray, Odette glad your home." A man with sandy blonde hair and a beard said as he came up and hugged the girls.
"Hey Daddy we're always fine. Nothing the two of us can never handle. Plus we had some help tonight as I guess you see." Freya told her father as he let them go from his hug, Sam was a tall man that cared for his three girls with every fiber in his body. When the girls wanted to learn how to fight he fought with his wife about his daughters going out to fight. But after seeing his wife and in-laws train his girls, well he knew they would be fine. But he still didn't like the fact of his three girls going out to fight.
"Shane, nice to see you again." Sam said shaking Shane's hand.
"Always nice to see you to Sir" Shane replied back.
"Well not that I don't miss seeing old faces would someone mind telling me why we are all here?" Ollie asked directing the question
"There is a new villain trying to make his way to the top of the heap he has already gained the attention of a bunch of heavy hitters. My Intel says that there is going to be this huge initiation for this new guy. We're thinking it's going to take place tomorrow at the Gala." Greyson told the group
"So what are you thinking Dick?" Kaldur asked noticing his hesitation.
"Well…I'm thinking it's going to be a kidnapping." He replied sheepishly.
"You have names don't you?' Oliver asked stepping up beside his adoptive daughter.
"It's the Queen Girls, Art, Odette and Freya, they are the targets." Dick told them with a defeated sigh.
"The whole word is going to be watching this Gala like every year and they love the three of them. Hell Star City calls them the Gems of the city." Tyler Greyson said stepping up to the group. Sam grabbed Freya's shoulder as Odette leaned into Shane's side. Diana stood next to Artemis and Oliver.
"We can cancel the Gala, say it was some kind of family emergency, it's not a complete lie." Oliver told his family.
"No, we can't." A strong voice came from the teens.
"Grandpa you can't cancel the Gala. The money we make there helps to many kids for you to do 'Raya and I will be fine. We are not helpless little debutants." Odette told her family.
"Dette, I can't have something go on that I know might put you both in danger." Oliver told his Granddaughter,
"She's right Grandpa, at least this way we can have the kidnapping on our terms. Think about it if we cancel the Gala then the Villains will try at a different time and place. This way we can control different things. Like the situation that we will be in, the people who will be there. We might even get some Intel about this new guy. Think about it?" Freya told the Adults. The older heroes looked at one another. Seemingly in two conversations. A sharp quick pain went through Odette's head
"Sorry, it's a little painfully when you first enter the link. " Came a soft voice in the teen's heads.
"So this is the mind link huh?" Freya's voice came in.
"Ya know, the Wayne and Greyson family is always at the Queen Gala. It would make for a larger target instead of just you three." The strong voice of Tyler Greyson who was looking at the twins came in thorough the link.
"He's right ya know." S'cott said
"True, will your father go for it?" Odette asked
"Well Ya, if we have a plan." Tessa laughed.
Freya looked at the group with a few winkles marring her young face. "Grandpa Ollie always has the whole family to the podium for the announcement of who donates the most. It's normally always your family. If you guys come up with your Dad and Grandpa the four of us could always stand to the side. That would give this guy the best opportunity. Beforehand we could have tracers on us." She explained.
"True, it would be better as well. The rest of us could be by the side of the stage if you four need help." Shane finished off the plan. The teens all nodded feeling a new bond form. It may not be as strong as the double team ups that they were all used to but it was the start of a new team.
"I'm going to assume that you nine had your own conversation, well here is how the Gala plan is going to go. The Queen girls and my two are going to be on the stage together. You four will, for a better term, be bait. When Oliver starts his speech will probity be when this guy is going to strike so be ready. You will have tracers inside you. When this guy attacks we won't know who will be taken until afterword's so I want everyone to have covert weapons on themselves at all times understood?" Dick told the room. The teens smirked as Tyler started to laugh.
"So did you guys like butt into our conversation because that was like almost our plan to the 'T'." He snorted out. Dick only smiled at his son. A few people started to yawn as the large grandfather clock struck 2am. Artemis and Sam noticed Bruce attempting to gather everyone out
"Oh no you don't Mr. Wayne. Everyone will stay here for the next few days. I'm sure that My Girls base will be just fine for this adventure that everyone is on about while the girl's suites will be just fine to hold all the teens." Sam said sternly to all the adults. The teens just laughed as they said goodnight to their families. Odette and Freya took the teens up two flights of stairs and down a long hallway. Coming to a double oak door Odette slide the doors reviling a large suite with a beautiful yellow and lilac color. Freya walked over to the only wall with nothing on it and slide it into the other wall reviling a bright green and silver room. Both rooms had a couch and large comfy chairs that were pushed to the middle of the room.
"Well guys welcome to Suite De Twins" The girls joked. Odette and Freya threw a few sets of extra PJs to the girls while Shane threw some PJ pants at the guys.
"Yo, Dude, is this regular thing for you that you have extra cloths here?" Scott joked.
"We team up together a lot, sometimes were too tired to travel back home. We have extra stuff at his place. Do you guys not do the same with your partners?" Freya asked bringing over extra pillows and blankets.
"Well, no not really. But hey whatever." Tyler shrugged as he flipped onto one of the chairs. Scott took the other chair as Courtney and Tessa took one couch and Sara and Carter the other. Freya went to her bed and Odette jumped into hers while Shane just laughed.
"Wait; are you two like a 'thing'?" Courtney asked looking over at Odette and Shane. The two looked over at the others while Freya was laughing in her bed.
"What? Us? No were just friends that are all. Plus fishboy is super diva like about where he sleeps and I have a sleep number bed. "Odette laughed. Shane smirked as he slide into the bed.
"I am not a diva. I just like a certain bed that's all." He grumbled.
"Ya that's not diva like at all Shane." Freya laughed as she turned out the lights. The teens drifted off to sleep to each other's snores and breathing. No one would say anything until they were all older but that was the first night that none of them had any issues sleeping.
As 7am rolled around the sound of nine different cell phone alarms started going off. the room full of teenagers let out a collective grown as pillows were thrown over heads and mutters of death threats were heard.
"Pardon me young ones but the adults sent us to grab you all for breakfast." Came a older motherly voice.
"thank you Tilly, we will be down soon." Odette Called as she snuggled into the warmth of her bed. She tried to flip over but realized that she was stuck. Opening her eyes in alarm she relaxed noticing that she was next to Shane. His arms were holding her to his chest trapping her against him. Not that she minded. Poking his jawline she giggled when he clenched his jaw in annoyance.
"Must you always do this? A simple good morning would work you know." He grumbled.
"AW but what fun would that be now." She smirked. He opened his eyes and sighed.
"I might just let Chaz go after you tonight instead you know." He laughed.
"Oh you wouldn't dare!" she cried out.
"What did he do this time Odette?" Freya called out to her twin.
"He said that he was going to leave us alone with Chaz!" Odette pouted.
"SHANE that's just mean!" Freya laughed,
"You mean Chaz Winsdows, God that guy is an ass. He tried to go after Tessa last year. Man you can't let Chaz bug Odette she'll kill him." Tyler laughed as Tessa shivered thinking of the older teen. The teens walked down to the large kitchen area were the adults were sitting already. Piles of food were laid out for everyone to eat. Carters eyes went wide as she grabbed a plate and loaded it up. The other teens soon fallowed. As they all started to eat Diana spoke.
"So the girls are all going out to get our hair and nails done. Along with picking oit dresses for Carter, Courtney and Sar'a. Then we will all meet back here to get everything ready for tonight. While the guys stay here and prep the ballroom" she announced.
The girls nodded their heads still eating all the food. The guys groned thinking of all the things that would be doing before the party. When they finished the girls went up the stairs to get ready for the day. Once again Odette and Freya opened their closets for the visiting girls. Freya dressed into a pair of dark wash jeans with a peach top a pair of gladiator sandals and large brown framed sunglasses sat on her head. Her blonde hair was hanging straight to the middle of her back. Odette pulled on her favorite dark wash short with a pair of black flip flops she threw on a graphic tee and brushed out her blonde hair. While Freya got their mothers straight hair Odette got their fathers curly hair. She also slapped on her black framed glasses. Normally she wore contacts but she didn't feel like messing with them today. Sar'a had morphed her outfit into a blue jean skirt that went mid-thigh and a light blue tank top with a jean jacket over it. She had on flats that matched her tank. Her long red hair was in a braid slung over her shoulder. Carter had had borrowed from Odette's closet. A pair of skinny jeans cuffed at the bottom with rips In the knees a white t-shirt with a grey scarf and a pair of convers. Her red hair was put into a ponytail that hung to her shoulder blades. While Courtney took from Freya's she snagged a pair of light wash flair hip huggers with a white tank top and a coral button up cardigan. A pair of coral flats and a crown belt completed her outfit. Her long black hair hung in waves to her mid back. Tessa was a bit harder to look for. She was only two years younger than the girls but she was tiny, she was able to find something in Odette's stuff Odette being the smaller twin, a pair of simple blue jean shorts with a old black and white checkered shirt that tied at the midriff showing off a small bit of her toned stomach. A old pair of Odette's convers finished off her outfit.
"if we are not the best looking group of teens at the store today im going to flip my shit." Freya laughed flipping her sunglasses over her eyes while grabbing her purse. Odette laughed at her younger sister but she was right they all looked great. She thought for moment. Her mother knew the other identity's of the justice league. This group of teens could have hung out more, talked about normal things on patrol. But, her mother had her reasons.
"You Odette you coming or nah?" Courtney called out to the blonde. Odette shook her head and fallowed the girls out the door and met at the bottom of the stair way. She looked over and laughed Tyler was trying to push Tessa back up the stairs to change her outfit.
"No! No little sister of mine is going out to a mall dressed like that. Nope absolutely not!" he was muttering.
"Tyler! Tyler Greyson I am sixteen years old I can pick what I want to wear!" Tessa was telling him as she dug her heals into the ground.
"Ya Ty plus I think she looks good." S'cott told the raven haired boy. This stopped Tyler in his tracks. He had a look on his face like there was a battle going on in his brain.
"NOPEEE! Go change now! Long pants long sleeve…a turtle neck! Ya that would be a great outfit!" Tyler started to spout when the adults walked in.
"Who broke Tyler?" Dick laughed.
"He saw the outfit that Tessa was wearing. Then S'cott told everyone that she looked good and now were here." Carter told Dick like it was an everyday thing. He laughed and looked at his children. He saw the outfit and thought it was fine.
"Tyler, Tyler her outfit is fine. Let her go she is going to hit you." He laughed. Tyler looked at his father as if he grew another head leaving Tessa a free shot at slamming her elbow into his stomach. She went back to the group of girls who were laughing at Tyler's misfortune. The adults were chuckling. Diahna and Artemis had their purses on their arms ready to walk out the door. The girls said their good byes to the guys and followed the two women out the door. They stepped into the black land rover the girls positioned themselves comfortably. They started off to the mall where they were going dress shopping first then to the salon for the make overs.
Queen Manor
The boys just finished eating their food and went to the spare room that Shane kept all his extra clothes in. between Shane and Tyler they had just enough cloths for them to use to help get ready for the Gala. All three of them had blue jeans on while Shane had a while and blue striped tank top showing his hammerhead tattoos. His sandy hair was kept short like his fathers. His gills were noticeable but he was able to retract them with a bit of training from Kaldur. He slipped on a pair of plain running shoes. Tyler picked the black and red tank top with his Robin boots. His black hair was brushed back. S'cott himself had morphed his shirt into his normal white and green t-shirt with a set of green sneakers. His red hair in a crew cut. The three walked down the stairs looking for the adults to see what they needed to start with. Tyler turned looking at the stairs and started to freak out.
"What are you thinking? Your shirt is missing the bottom!" He screeched out running over to Tessa who just started walking down the stairs. Shane laughed. He wished he had a younger sibling sometimes. Sure he saw Freya and Odette as siblings sometimes but it was not the same. Tessa started arguing about how her outfit was fine when Shane noticed Odette walking down the stairs. He saw her shirt and laughed. It was the graphic Tee that he got her last month. A black t-shirt with the saying.. If Jessie's girl was Stacie's mom, would her number be 867-5309?" she ha I paired with plain jean shorts. He saw her look over and offered a smile. She grinned at him and motioned to the two fighting siblings and giggled. He laughed to himself as he saw Dick talk to his children. The girls left shortly after.
