The Shadow
Ch. 6
Shadow's Pov
The silence in the aircraft was overwhelming. The Team didn't exactly seem to know what to say, while Sophie and Aaron were by no means ones to start the conversation. I was glaring at a wall in the corner, not looking at them. Finally, Wally tried to start it (a conversation that is).
'So…' the red headed speedster started. 'Why exactly are we headed to Japan?' I turned my glare on him. Sensing that I wasn't going to answer, Aaron took over.
'It's the most logical place to go.' The son of Athena stated. 'We have a quest, and the prophecy said to go to the East. We decided that Japan was the most east since it was the closest to the West.'
'Wait, so you three have to go on a quest? What do you even have to do?' Conner growled.
'Oh, nothing too hard,' Aaron glanced over to him. 'Just saving the world and other extreme sports (1).'
'Saving the world!' exclaimed Robin. 'Yeah right; from what exactly are you saving the world from?'
'From itself.'
That shut them up for a little while. Wally and Robin seemed to be trying to figure out what they meant by that, Conner couldn't care less, M'gann was just confused, Artemis and Zatanna seemed to be glancing at each other, and Kaldur thinking about who knows what.
'What do you mean by this statement?' the Atlantian questioned, breaking the silence. 'Why must you save the world from itself?'
'The world fears what it does not understand. It fears things that are beyond its comprehension. Should we fail, people will see the world in a whole new light; one perhaps, that frightens them. They will panic and attack, without thinking. The world will be split in two. Those who fear, and those who are feared.'

'Bianca,' started Kaldur, looking at me. 'I wish to say that I am sorry that we-'
'Put a tracker on me, when I thought you were being a good friend? Tracked me to my godfather's house to satisfy your curiosity? Betrayed the trust I had in you because you wanted to know about something that I obviously kept secret for a reason?' He bowed his head.
'I am truly sorry, Bianca, that we have betrayed your trust. I hope that you shall forgive us.'
I turned away, refusing to look at them. Descendants of Hades were known for holding grudges; it was our fatal flaw. I knew I should forgive them: tell them that it was okay. But it wasn't okay. And I was actually in a really bad mood right now.
Instead, I focused on the strange fact that I was feeling both the life forces of my DECEASED mother and father. Which should be impossible, because one only feels the life forces of the living. But I had also felt both of them die. So either I was feeling a completely different life force, or they were still alive and quite well from the way it felt.
And so, the plot thickens, as they say.

Nico's POV
I looked around at the Japanese temple, seeing my surroundings, before taking off the limiter(2) worn around my neck. By my side, Selena did the same.
'I do believe that its time for us to go find the help of an old friend,' said my wife, pulling my hand. I smirked.
'Well, this should prove to be interesting.' Said I as we walked out hand in hand. 'I wonder, how is Nicholas doing?' (3)

Sorry for the Short Chapter. Happy October! I'm sorry for the really late update. I've been meaning to update, but it really just never happened (as you can probably see. It's been what, 2 years). This file has been just sitting there, but I never got to uploading it. Life has been crazy, with school and just life in general.
Please Review. Oh, and it would really be nice if you could review on your thoughts of Aaron and Sophie, Aaron mostly.
And as for Nico… hahaha, I was feeling really sad that I killed him off. He's too great of a character. So I made him fake his death… by using something from the Gargoyle Legends…
-(1) So yeah, I stole the title from the Maximum Ride book…
- (2) Limiters limit auras. I'm counting life forces as auras. Tada, it works. And as for WHERE Nico got them... I leave that up to your imagination. (kinda got that from Gargoyle Legends...)
-(3) Can you guess who I'm talking about?
