The Cave 8:31a.m
As soon as they got to the cave, they were tackled by Robin, Ally, and Black Canary. Cassandra, Braydon, and Adam, that is. Well, not Braydon.
"Whoa! Guys!" Nora yelled out, still struggling with the weight of Myra. Cassandra was pinned down by Black Canary on her stomach. Adam was on his back with Robin on top of him, holding his staff to his throat.
Somehow, Braydon was the only one of the three left standing. Ally has obviously tried to take him out, but out of Braydon's luck, she tripped over her own feet and fell onto the floor.
"Zatanna, we need your help! Robin, Ally, get off them!" Zatanna set her hands down from her ready-to-cast position. "Nora? What's-." she spied Myra on top of Nora's back.
"Come with me! Now!" she grabbed Nora's hand and dragged her away from the mess of people.
Robin frowned, but got off of Adam. Black Canary did the same with Cassandra, but offered to help her up, giving her an apologetic grin.
Ally pulled herself off the floor and glared at Braydon. "How did you do that?"
"Do what? Breathe?"
"No! You made me trip."
"Not really. It's something I can't control."
"What? You automatically make people trip when they're near you?"
"I'm lucky."
"What?"
"I'm lucky, that's my power."
Ally frowned at him. "Whatever." She muttered at him, still ticked from falling. Cassandra rubbed her elbow. "That's gonna leave a mark in the morning. Y'all are crazy fast tacklin' people."
She stretched her elbow out and sighed dramatically. "I really hope we don't get in trouble of ditching class. My uniform is a wreck." She motioned to her blue skirt which had holes in it, her white blouse that had what looked like a footmark on it, and her blue blazer that was ripped at the sleeve.
Black Canary looked at the patch on the blazer. "Blue Valley?" Adam heard this and nodded. "Yup, home of the Blue Valley Panthers! Rawr." He mocked a claw movement with his hand.
"What were they doing in-." she was interrupted by the computer speaking.
"Incoming transmission from number C02." Ally brightened drastically. "It's Kenny! Accept transmission! Play on screen."
A little screen popped up from behind a couch and displayed itself for everyone to see. The screen flashed, and showed an image of a girl with ash brown hair in a ponytail and green eyes framed with a frame less domino mask. She was wearing black halter top, with a silver 'A' on the front.
"Hey Kenny!" Ally said. Kenny smiled. "Hey Kitty!" she seemed as delighted as Ally was. Black Canary gave an easy smile. "It's nice to see you again, Atalanta." Kenny smiled. "Oh please, that's for covert operations only. Though what I'm doing right is pretty covert, so I suppose it's approximate for this situation."
"What's wrong?" asked Robin. Kenny sighed. "The Amazons have joined the war."
Ally's eyes widened. "What!? They signed the treaty with the United Nations last year to remain a neutral party!"
Kenny made an unsure face. "I know. But just today Lady Hippolyta just changed her mind this morning. We're going to war against Atlantis tomorrow evening. Diana is leading the troops in. She gave some of us an option to stay behind or remain neutral. I'm the only one. All these beef-heads think they can end this thing tomorrow."
Black Canary considered this for a moment. "It's not going to be safe there. Why don't you come over to the Cave? We're starting the team again."
Kenny's eyebrows rose. "Oh really? Is that was those three are for?"
Adam spoke up first. "Yup! We're joining The Team!"
Kenny smiled. "Cool then. I wasn't gonna go if was only like, three people. I'll head over there now. Oh, I'm not actually supposed to be telling you this, so… shhhh, alright? Later alligators!"
The screen shut off.
"Joining The Team, are we?" Black Canary said, deadpan. Adam laughed sheepishly. "Well, now we have to. You heard her, if we're not here she isn't. She seems like a very important player to end the war."
Robin and Ally looked at one another at the same time.
"No."
Thirty Minutes Later…
"I can't believe that worked." Adam said, dumbstruck.
"I can't believe it either, and I'm supposed to be a good luck charm." Braydon agreed in equal amazement. Cassandra pondered something before speaking up. "What about our parents? I mean, what's gonna happen?"
Braydon didn't even flinch at her comment like Adam did. "My father is a sorry drunk who never speaks to me unless he wants me to go to a casino with him. He won't notice."
"What about your mother?" asked Cassandra softly. Braydon shrugged, like he didn't care. "She died when I was born. In any case, it will be several weeks before he notices I'm gone."
Adam frowned. "Ah, man. My step-dad is gonna freak. He probably is right now. So is my mom." Cassandra nodded. "We should make some phone calls."
Braydon jumped up and pulled out a cell phone. "Here, you can go first." He handed Adam the phone. Adam shrugged athim. "Thanks man." He walked out of the room, typing away at something.
Cassandra relaxed for a minute, but then Braydon faced her, his face contorted with anger. "What the hell was that?"
"What was what? She asked.
Braydon frowned at her. "Don't play dumb. I know when someone is trying to get inside my head. You were trying to see if I was telling the truth, weren't you?"
"What!? No- , I mean… yes, I mean… gah! Okay! I was, I'm sorry!"
Braydon relaxed a little, but still glared at her. "Don't do that ever again. Otherwise, you can sure as hell that you're going to end up in a morgue." Cassandra didn't doubt him..
"Fine! I won't try anything like that again. But… how did you know?"
"It feels like water trickling in through a crack in my head. It pools up in my head and I can feel it before the wave hits." At that moment, Adam walked back in. He grinned at them.
"So, they're freaked. But they're glad I'm alright." He tossed the phone to Cassandra, then noticed the mood.
"Whoa, did someone die?" he asked the two.
Suddenly, a voice, sickly sweet, came from behind them.
"In a few minutes, you will."
