I know what your probably thinking right now.
Oh
My
Gods
!
Why is there a really long authors not.
The truth is, I just wanted to say a few things.
1. Sorry about the delay. Just a warning to people who are reading this. This might be the last time I update this for awhile. I have finals and I also am having a really busy summer. I'm doing Camp NaNoWriMo in June and in August, and I am gone for most of July... without my computer. 'sigh. However, I just wanted to thank everyone who's reviewed this fic, it makes me really happy.
2. I also just wanted to make one thing clear to some of the readers. Bianca (as said in the prolouge and second chapter) is the daughter of Nico Di Angelo. She is the GRANDDAUGHTER of Hades, not his daughter. Her mother is a random other demigod, who's a daughter of Helios. Also, this is an AU, because I had this really brilliant plan on how put together Young Justice and Percy Jackson, but Roy just had to be a clone. Hence, why this is an AU. I will try and stay with both plots as cannon as possible, but Invasion (as much as I love Young Justice) And the last two episodes of the original season are not a part of this. Lets just pretend that never happened. Okay, I'm done ranting.
3. For clarification on language thingys
.
meh = English
meh = mind link
meh = Ancient Greek
.
4. I own no one except Bianca's mother and Bianca's personality and middle name. Please don't flame me. Please review and feel free to do constructive criticism. I hope you enjoy.
The Shadow
Shadow's Pov
Chapter 3
I suck at running away. Only an hour after I got to Percy and Annabeth's house the heroes showed up at my door.
Sitting in my godparents' living room, was the Team. I sighed, mentally hitting myself on the head. Artemis and Zatanna looked guilty, Robin looked a bit sad, thoughtful, and confused, Wally, M'gann, and Superboy looked normal, and Kaldur looked more serious than normal and a bit worried.
'We are sorry, we did not mean to intrude,' said Kaldur in his usual polite tone. 'It is really not that way at all. You see, we-'
'We got Artemis and Zatanna to tell us.' Said Conner bluntly, as usual. My eyes widened, before narrowing.
'Really?' I asked, turning my 'Granddaughter of Hades Death Glare' on them. They both seemed to gulp in fear and nodded. 'Thanks. Nice going, way to stick by your friend's side at whatever cost. I actually trusted you guys not to tell anyone, but no of course you didn't keep it. Wait till I tell Kat about this, she'll be pissed at both of you.'
'Who's Kat?' asked M'gann. I froze. Not good, really not good, I have to stop ranting.
'Um…' I started. 'Mutual Friend?' M'gann shrugged, letting it go, but I knew Robin wouldn't.
'Batman told us to give you a message to convince you to come back.' Said Robin. I looked at him, confused. 'He also gave us a message to give your god parents.' I grimaced as the Team looked at me with surprise.
'These are not your parents?' asked Kaldur. I sighed; they had the right to know. Not all of it, but some parts. I shook my head.
'These are my god parents, Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson.' I said in a softer tone. 'They let me stay here when I need to. Apparently I stay around longer than my dad ever did. Percy was like an older brother to my dad.'
'Wow.' Said Wally. 'That's intense.' He shut up after a quick glare.
'What was the message?' I asked, shaking everyone out of his or her thoughts.
'Something about Mythology,' started the thirteen year old. My eyes widened. No way, Batman was a demigod? 'Oh, right, he said something about your dad, your aunt, and your godfather.
A half-blood of the eldest gods,
shall reach sixteen against all odds,
and see the world in endless sleep,
The hero's soul, cursed blade shall read,
A single choice shall end his days,
Olympus to preserve or raze.'
'What was the other message?' I asked. He looked confused at this.
'It was really weird. I'm pretty sure Batman doesn't have any living family…' started the superhero. 'But he said to tell his sister that he said hello.'
Okay, Batman is a demigod. There is no doubt about it. He's a son of Athena too. No wonder why he's at the other superheroes level, if not above. He's a demigod, half-god. They were mortals, gifted mortals, but mortals. Well, most of them. I wasn't completely convinced about Wonder Woman and Black Canary.
'Okay.' I said. Truthfully, I liked being a part of the Team and making a difference. And I wanted to see if there were any other demigods in the League. It could somehow prove to be useful. 'Good thing I didn't unpack.'

I had been back for another day, and the Team hadn't talked about my parents, at all. Everything was going back to normal. I was hanging out on in the kitchen, watching M'gann cook something, probably cookies. I wanted to do something else, most preferably spar or something, but Superboy and Kaldur were sparring and I didn't want to interrupt. Maybe having ADHD was not the best in this situation.
'Are you alright?' I heard Kaldur ask from behind me. Okay, so maybe they weren't sparring anymore. I turned and saw him standing near the couch, looking hot, calm, and collected, as usual.
'Yeah,' I said. 'Why?' Maybe I said it a little too quickly. I really wanted to spar, but Kaldur looked tired. If I asked, I knew he would say yes.
'Are you-'
'Team, report to Communications room immediately, in civilian gear.' Announced Batman over the speaker that I didn't know they had. We all walked over, well, except Kaldur, who went to change.
When we entered, we saw Batman looking worried, which was new. 'You have a mission.' Didn't we just have one? 'I know you were not prepared, but this is extremely important. A woman's life is in your hands.' We all nodded.
'May I ask of the name of this woman?' asked Kaldur's voice from right behind me. I swear I jumped three feet in the air.
Batman typed in some words on the electronic keyboard thingy. My eyes widened at the photo. I knew her. And I also had a really bad feeling that something bad was going to happen.
'Her name is Rachel Elizabeth Dare.' Said Batman. 'Her father is the owner of Dare Enterprises. The League does not know why she is being targeted. However, there seems to be Shadow assassins there, as well as some of the monsters you met on your last mission three days ago. You are to pick her up on the Bio-ship and bring her to the Cave. I will then be transporting her to a safer location.' Everyone nodded, but I was in shock. The Shadows were targeting the Oracle of Delphi? I'm surprised that Apollo hasn't blasted them yet.
We slowly went to the ship. Actually, correction, I slowly went to the ship while everyone else was rushing. Or at least I tried to. Stupid Artemis and Zatanna, why isn't Sophie here when you need her, right?
LINE BREAK LINE BREAK LINE BREAK LINE BREAK
The ride over wasn't fun. I hate flying. It's one thing when you're going to a mission to save mortals. But if your going on a mission to save a clear sighted mortal who just happens to be the Oracle of Delphi, well, I'm not so sure. All I know is I like living, a lot.
'We are here.' Said Kaldur. 'We shall go in to see if we can find her.'
'She'll be here in a minute.' I said. I could feel her life force near the door. The entire Team looked at me like I was crazy. Except for Artemis and Zatanna, but that's only because they know I can sense life forces. Their Roman, they don't really know who the Oracle of Delphi is.
They were about to go in any way when Rachel walked out of the door, holding a bag of crucial supplies and wearing comfortable clothes.
'Told you.' I said, feeling a bit happy.
'Miss Martian, open a hatch.' Ordered Aqualad. He jumped down; we weren't that far down from the ground. He then proceeded to help her up into the ship. She sat in a new seat, winking in my direction.
Soon, we were flying back to the Cave. I knew that the Team would question both me and Rachel in about 5, 4, 3 ,2, 1…
'Miss Dare,' started Aqualad. 'May I ask why people are trying to harm you?' Rachel shrugged.
'For one thing, it's Rachel.' Said the red haired woman. 'And for another thing, well, you'll find out soon enough.'
I was just starting to get comfortable with flying, when suddenly something hit the Bio Ship at top speed, making the ship almost topple over to the side.
'There hurting her' yelled Miss Martian. Suddenly, there was a tear in the ship, a sword cutting straight into it. A cestial bronze sword tearing through it. I cracked. It's one thing to try and kill the Oracle of Delphi. It's another thing to try and attack her, while not only attacking my friends, but also giving all Greeks a bad name.
I pulled out my stygian iron sword, and stood in a fighting position, waiting for my fate. But who came in scared me. It was Zachary, the second best sword fighter at camp. Second only to me. When he saw me, he charged almost immediately. Only because of my demigod ADHD was I not speared through with a sword. Dammit, he had gotten better. Usually, I would just wait for him to tire himself out, but now I had no choice but to attack. At least I know how to fight hand-to-hand.
I ran forward, slashing at his chest, before vaulting over him and stabbing him in the back. Or at least tried to, before he rolled out of the way. I stabbed for him, he blocked. He slashed, I blocked. I don't know how long we were fighting for, but both of us were getting tired, me faster. And, some of his allies had jumped in our duel, attacking me while I attempted to attack him. Suddenly, I felt someone kick me in the back, sending me flying to the wall. But instead of hitting a really hard wall, I hit someone. I heard a small oof before I pushed myself off, expecting to see an enemy and instead seeing Kaldur. Oops. He pulled himself off the floor.
'Are you in need of assistance?' he asked. I nodded, a bit ashamed. He gave me a small smile back. 'Then let us show them why it is wise to not mess with the Justice League.' I couldn't help but grin back. I rushed back into battle, sword out, this time, with a strategy. My strategy was actually quite simple; kick their asses.
Zachary was trying to get through to Rachel, slowly succeeding. I rushed back, sword in hands.
'For the Gods!' I yelled, charging. Zachary turned around, surprised to see me conscious. Apparently he thought too thought that I had hit a wall. This time, I would win. I fought back with renewed energy. Thank you adrenaline. Our blades were suddenly locked, each pushing against each other. He really doubted my strength. However, I doubted his. He was soon winning; I was almost kneeling. That was of course, until Kaldur picked him up by the back of his shirt and threw him against the wall, hard. I love having a really strong, hot Atlantian friend. It really comes in handy sometimes. Thank the gods we weren't in a mind link right now. I stopped suddenly. I spun around and saw no one in the group giving me really strange looks. Well, M'gann was giving me knowing looks, but we didn't have to think about that right now.
Of course, the guy who was second in command and definitely not as good a fighter as Zachary, noticed said fighter unconscious next to him right at that moment and gained some…common sense.
'Retreat!' yelled random kid number one. All the people attacking ran away, or flew away. I noticed that they took Zachary with them. It looked like this wasn't the end of this. Rather, it looked like the beginning of something really bad and terrible.

We managed to fly the rest of the way to the Cave without any trouble, but I could tell some of the Team members were uncomfortable after have been attacked on their own ship. Something I can totally relate to.
When the ship landed, all of the members walked out consciously, as though a random villain was going to jump them on the way out of the Bio Ship. I was trying not to laugh at that.
I led Rachel to the Communications room, where Batman was waiting.
'Did you have any trouble?' he asked. I nodded. 'Is anyone seriously hurt?' I shook my head.
Soon, the rest of the Team joined us. Rachel stood awkwardly to the side, as though unsure of what to do. She knew who I was, but no one else. I think she figured out whom we worked with after meeting Batman though. It would be kind of sad if she didn't.
'I will now be taking Rachel to a safer place, where she will be less likely to be attacked.' The Bat said.
'But first, I want to just thank you guys for saving me and for fighting. I really appreciate what you did.' Said Rachel. Her gaze sweeped the entire Team, but for some reason stayed on me. Maybe its because I know her. But, my luck just couldn't allow that.
Suddenly, her eyes started to glow green, while she was still looking at me. Oh shit. The Team looked like they wanted to interfere, but didn't for some strange reason.
Green mist started to come out of her mouth and started to curl around her, while the Team looked on in horror.
.
'The mist shall soon disappear,
The final hour soon begins to near,
Mortal and godly worlds shall combine,
Until they completely align,
The child of death and light,
The one who is strong and bright,
A girl who with many colors shine,
They shall join with a team of less than nine,
Together they shall travel East,
To the land where the gods are deceased,
Together they shall have succeed,
Alone, no one will proceed.
.
Rachel then collapsed, right into the Batman's arms. Silence overtook the room. I looked around the room nervously.
Kaldur looked confused, frightened, and a bit…worried.
Artemis and Zatanna had a look of understanding and fear. They finally knew who this person was, but neither had ever been on a quest before.
Wally looked really confused, but also seemed to want to question the prophecy.
Robin was looking it over, having written it down on a notepad that I'm pretty sure he didn't have a minute ago… oh well.
Conner and M'gann just looked plain confused. I could totally understand that.
However, as I thought about what had happened, I only thought about one thing. I needed to call Sophie and Aaron.

We had a quest.
I hope you liked it.
R&R. Please, do review.
