THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT THAT EVERYONE HAS GIVEN ME THOUGHOUT THIS STORY.
Chapter 21
Early the next morning
Wally opened her eyes and let out a slight yelp as she came face to face with the face of a certain annoying troll's little brother.
"How are you feeling Mehira?" Damian asked as he gave his cousin a glass of water and a few pain pills.
"Much better thank you." Wally replied as she took the water and pills and swallowed them down.
"That is good. Grandfather would like to see us as soon as we can." Damian told Wally as he got up and left the room to give his cousin the privacy to shower and change into a outfit.
Fifteen minutes later Wally was showered and dressed in a dress like outfit with the symbol of the Al Ghul family. The speedster left the bedroom to find Cheshire and Black Spider who was looking the speedster up and down.
"You finally look like a Shadow and a Al Ghul." The spider themed villain pointed out with a smile behind his mask.
Cheshire whacked Black Spider upside the head. "She was always an Al Ghul." The cat themed villainess said as she grabbed Wally gently by her arm and led her down the hall. "You can get lost in this place very easily so The Great One has asked me to escort you to the Great Hall."
"Thanks." Wally replied as she took in the sights of castle. She was amazed at the designs of the tapestries and paintings. Of course the owner of the castle was and still is over 600 years old so of course Ra's would have some priceless paintings and other items.
Wally was brought out of her thoughts when she felt Cheshire nudge her arm telling her that they had arrived at the Great Hall.
"This is where I leave you. Enjoy the rest of your day Milady." Cheshire told the speedster who gave her a glare at the Milady part.
"Thanks Jade and don't use titles on me please." Wally said as she entered the room to see her grandfather, Aunt and Cousin.
"Welcome to the Great Hall Mehira." Ra's told his granddaughter who smile in returned.
"Thank you Grandfather. I can guess that I know why you have called me here." Wally said.
Ra's smiled at his oldest grandchild who was smarter than most people gave him credit for. "Yes, you are right. I called you here to discuss what side you plan on joining."
"I have thought of some ideas that may just benefit both the Shadows and The League." Wally said hoping she would have the courage to tell her Grandfather who could give Batman a run for his money on the intimidation department.
"What did you have in mind my dear?" Ra's asked always willing to listen to his family.
"I know from experience that you don't really bother with The Light right?" Wally asked waiting for a response which was given in a few moments. "Well everyone knows that I am a hero so my idea is this. What if the Shadows were to remain neutral in the fight between The Light and The Justice League? That way no one would be hurt and the Shadows would be around for a long time."
Ra's looked at his Granddaughter with a calculating eye. She did make some very good points. He really only joined The Light for the excitement due to his long life and also to protect his family. Maybe since he only had a few more trips into the Lazarus Pit that Mehira could be the new leader of the Shadows as she was perfect for the new age. She was young, smart, loyal and kind. Everything the new leader of the Shadows needed to be.
"You make some very important points my dear child. I will have to think about this for some time. As for right now I think you better met your friends who are currently sneaking into the back gates thinking that they have not been spotted." The immortal pointed out as he pulled a tapestry away from the wall to reveal large screen revealing the Young Justice team and a few members of the League trying to be sneaky but failing.
Wally let out a groan hoping that her friend didn't come here to see if she would betray the League and came to see if she was alright. She didn't know if she could take the pain if her friends betrayed her like Batman had done.
"Maybe I should go out and meet them?" Wally said with a evil grin. "Or maybe I should send out Damian?"
Ra's, Talia and Wally all looked at Damian who was looking very innocent but you could tell that he wanted to tell off his cousin's friends and members of the League.
"Let's send Damian to meet the heroes." Talia said with a smile that equaled Wally's.
With a speed that rivaled a speedster's Damian left the room and headed towards the courtyard to talk with his brother, father and their teammates or more like yelled at them.
"Something tells me that Damian is going to give the heroes the riot act." Wally said knowing what her little cousin was going to do.
"You should have heard him when you were sleeping. He was not happy about the way Batman has been treating you. I mean I know Bruce is paranoid but to spy on you because you were meeting with your grandfather that is ridiculous." Talia pointed out. Even though she loved Bruce he was still a pain in the butt at times. He also meant well but sometimes his paranoia got the best of him.
"What do you say that we watch my friends get chewed out by an 8 year old?" Wally asked with another grin.
"Let's." Talia replied smiling as the princess of the Shadows headed to the balcony to watch Young Justice and The Justice League get chewed out.
Next chapter Damian rips the heroes a new one about the way the they were treating Wally.
