"Can anyone who is off duty come to the command centre." John said on the p.a.
There was a sudden red flash and then the Flash was next to me. As surprised as I was, I acted unfaused. The Flash looked me up and down. I could tell he was into me. I wasn't into him.
"Flash." Clark said sturnly. "Stop that."
"Sorry Supes." he said. "What do you want me for."
"This is Max." Clark introduced me. "She's the newest member of the Justice League. Take her to room 804 to drop off her bags, then show her around."
"Okay!" he said happily.
This is going to be fun. I thought sarcastically.
"Lets go." I said, handing him my bags.
"Um..." he muttered. "How do you get down?"
I spread my wings and giggled as his face went into shock.
"Lets move."
After explaining my wings. And being given the grand tour, we ended up at the training level. As we walked in, I found so many people training. I could name everyone in costume, and a few others. There was one person I was interested in. He wore medieval armour and was chopping a practice dummy with a silver sword. I walked over to him.
"Hi." I smiled. "Do you want to practice against me?"
"That would be marvelous ma'am." he said polietly.
Flash apperared next to me.
"Shining knight." Flash smiled. "This is Max. Max, meet Shining Knight."
I smiled and shook his hand.
"Shall we battle?" I asked.
"Do you have a sword?" he asked.
I touched my ring and my sword appeared in my hand.
"Yes." I said getting my sword ready.
He raised his sword and be battled. The sound of swords clashing could be heard through the training room. My training kicked in and I stopped concentrating on what I was doing. Neither of us showed any sign of slowing as a crowd of superheroes gathered around watching our battle. Suddenly I felt a wave of strength flow through me. Quickly, I shoved my sword the hilt of his, instantly disarming him. He stumbled back. I kicked him in the chest, pushing him to the floor. I jumped on top of him and held my sword at his throat.
"Well played." I chuckled, helping him up.
"You are very good to ma'am." He said politely, shaking my hand.
I looked around, realising that everyone had been watching our little practice. Everyone was quiet. I felt really aquard.
"That was," Flash started. "Amazing!"
Everyone started congratulating me. It felt amazing. Having my idols congratulating me was amazing. For a few minutes, everyone was talking about our battle.
"What's going on here?" a deep voice asked.
Everyone turned and was silent. Everyone was silent, because Batman was asking questions. Flash appeared next to Batman.
"It was just a bit of training Bats." he said in his whiny voice.
"Who was training?" he asked, scanning the crowd.
"We all were." Green Arrow explained. "But we were all watching a sword fight between Shining Knight and the new girl."
"Which new girl?" he asked, unaware that there was someone new. "No one told me there was a new member."
I felt some eyes fall on me, but most were scared by Batman. I remembered reading something about Superman, and decided to try it.
"Clark." I whispered, so that no human could hear. "Did you tell Batman that I was coming?"
No. He said, I could tell no one could hear.
"Well then come and save me." I mumbled "Cos he's kind of angry."
On my way. He laughed.
Did he enjoy pissing off Batman? I started paying attantion to the situation at hand. Green Arrow, Flash and Shining Knight were trying to explain to Batman what was going on. I felt kind of scared. Having Batman on your tail is kind of scary. As everyone tried to explain things to Batman, the door opened and Superman came in.
"Batman," Clark said. "We need to talk."
"You have a lot of explaining to do." he groaned.
They headed for the door. I saw Superman mutter something under his breath, which I heard.
Coming Max? He asked.
"See you later guys." I smiled at my audience.
I ran out, extending my wings and taking of as soon as I was out the door.
I flew as quickly as I could, trying to find Superman.
"Where are you?" I muttered, hoping he would here.
He didn't which was annoying. As I raced around, I tried to find him.
I had been searching for ages, but I couldn't keep going. I ended heading back to room 804. I needed to get some sleep. I opened the door, expecting to be able to go sleep, after a day full of excitement. As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted to Batman and Superman in a screaming at each other.
"Hi." I said.
They turned and looked at me. A look of worriedness of Superman's face, and a look of anger Batman's. But I don't think that expression ever changed. There was a silence.
"Can I go to sleep please?" I asked, exasted.
"No." they said in unison.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because you're different." Batman said.
"Isn't that the point of the Justice League?" I asked. "Everyone's different, and in a good way. We use what's special about each of us to keep everyone safe. So what if I'm different. So are you!"
the two me just stared at me. I didn't even know I could say something like that.
"What?" I asked, shocked at the silence.
"Are you alright?" Superman asked.
"Fine." I said. "A little tired, but fine."
"You're covered in water." Batman said.
I looked down at my hands, the were covered in a layer of water. I had fired myself up again. I calmed myself and the water dissolved.
"Sorry." I smiled.
"You are definatly Justice League material." Batman said, breifly showing a rare smile.
"Thanks." I said, annoyed. "Now I have your permission, can I please go to sleep now."
"Sure." Superman smiled, leading Batman out and closing the door.
I got changed into pj's quickly. I was about to go to bed when I thought of Nico. I went to the bathroom and created a fountain.
"O Iris, goddess of the rainbow accept my offering." I threw a dracma into the sink. "Show me Nico di Angelo, Camp Half-Blood."
The mist formed and I saw Nico.
"Hi Nico." I smiled.
He looked up.
"Oh." he startled. "Hi Max, what's up?"
"You would never believe what happened." I said, before explaining everything that had happened today.
"That's a lot of excitement for one day." He said. "I'm sorry about your mum."
"She died an amazing person, trying to protect everyone she could." I said sadly, before yawning.
"You look exasted." Nico realiesed.
"Bed." I decided. "Sounds like a good idea. See you."
I waved my hand in the mist and the image disappeared. I dived into bed, pulling the covers over my head and falling asleep.
