I own nothing.
Magi was impressed Grayson had the gall to show up with Zatanna. Or maybe it was vice versa. She was furious that Zatanna had come.
When the all walked in, Magi pulled Zatanna to the side. The younger demigod glared at her half-sister. Children of Hecate have this weird power where they can read someone's face.
You just want to upstage me, Zat.
You can't prove that… but we both know it's true.
Are you still mad at me? I didn't know, Zanna, I sorry.
Of course. Magi felt a pulling-feeling in her blood. Zatanna glared at her.
Zat, please stop. You know Mother's law. But, it was too late. Magi fell into memory.
July 1 2016- Stoll Studio, New York City
"Over 20 years ago, the Seven were on a quest to save the world! And today, we shall film the most important scene of the Mark of Athena: the scene where Percy and Annabeth fell into the vast unknown. Now, places everyone!" Travis loved yelling at kids; and as a director, he was paid to do that.
The Seven walked over to the scene. Magi fixed her blond wig and sat down in the fake ruins, where she was in clear view of the camera. Travis yelled, "Action".
From somewhere out of sight, Luke yelled, "Annabeth!"
Magi coughed from the fake dust, "Here".
Luke slowly walked over, "It's okay. We're together."
"I noticed you're not saying, 'you're okay' or 'we're alive'"
"That doesn't matter." Luke laced his fingers in her hair. The other gathered around them. TJ gasped, "Your leg. Oh, Annabeth, what happened?"
Magi tells Annabeth story. Tristan said, "Gods of Olympus. You did all that alone. With a broken ankle."
"Well… some of it with a broken ankle."
Luke grinned his father's grin. "You made Arachne weave her own trap? I knew you were good, but Holy Hera- Annabeth you did it!"
"The giants' bane stands gold and pale," Bianca quoted, "Won with pain from a woven jail. You tricked her into weaving it."
Luke said, "The mortal side of this is in Epirus."
Cadmus nodded, "But the real problem is there… Tartarus."
Travis pressed a button and the ground shaked. Magi yelled "Secure it."
"Zhang," Sam said. Michael transformed into an eagle. Tristan grabbed TJ "Back for you guys in a sec." He flew them up.
"The floor won't last! The rest of us get to the ladder." Bianca yelled.
Sam, Bianca, and Cadmus ran to the ladder. Luke helped Magi. Neither know a spiderweb is caught on Magi. "Cut it," they heard Bianca. Magi was pulled backwards. The mechanical voice to Archance said. "No, I go and you go."
Magi was pulled back and Luke held on to her. "You can't pull me up. Let go."
Luke turned to Cadmus, "The other side. Meet us there. Understand, Nico?"
Cadmus said, "But-
"Lead them there. Promise me!"
"I-I will."
Arachne's voice came again. "Sacrifices. Beautiful sacrifices to wake the goddess."
Luke tightened his hold in Magi. "We're staying together. You're not getting away from me. Never again."
"As long as we're together," she whispered.
Cadmus and Bianca screamed. Luke let go of the edge and Travis zoomed the camera in on them as they fell against the black. "And… cut! I think I'm crying." The Seven plus Cadmus climbed off the stage. They walk over to Travis. "Okay, all we have left is the little scenes that we can do in groups. Magi, you film the Reyna/Annabeth scenes this month. The underwater thing scene is start of August. Argo scenes are going to be in September. And don't forget: we need you to get this hyped up. Get all the attention. We can't have the JL steal the thunder. Right, Maggie"
She smiled evilly, "Right!"
Magi woke up to see a woman who looked like Poison Ivy looking at her.
Yes, I know that wasn't word-for-word, and it was short. If it wasn't clear: Zatanna doesn't like her sister. She distrusts all other demigods; even the ones close to the JL. But that's not the end of the chapter.
Katie Gardner-Stoll helped Magi up. Magi should have been surprised to see Mrs. Stoll, but the answer was obvious. "You came to talk to Isley- I mean Ivy." Yes, Katie had spent most of the past years trying to convince her sister to become less… violent. But she refused to say it was true. "I came because Travis was invited, and he made Flora and I come. Now, come on. I can disappear, you, on the other hand, will be noticed."
They parted ways when they came to the Ballroom. Katie walked over to where Conner and Travis were talking to Perry White and Jimmy Olsen from the Daily Planet. Magi made way to where the teenagers clearly were: away from the adults. In the shadows were Tim Drake, ward of Bruce Wayne; Cassie Sandsmark, daughter of the famous archeologist, Jaime Reyes, Blue Beetle; Bart Allen and Virgil Hawkins, random friends of Mr. Reyes (Seriously, that's what it said on their invites); Flora Stoll, daughter of Travis Stoll, and now, Margret Sorcellerie, actress and adopted sister of Percy Jackson.
Tim nodded to her. "Ahh, Magi, you can now vote with us."
"What?"
Cassie rolled her eyes. "These idiots," she pointed to Jaime, Virgil, and Flora, "say that the Demigod movies are better than the Nature movies. So you need to vote for the Nature movies."
"Demigods."
"See, she said- wait what?"
"Demigods."
"Why?"
"Why aren't the demigod movies good? I mean, I like both 'cause I'm in both."
"Because, they don't make sense, I mean, how can expect people to believe that a fifteen year old can survive the River Styx with no help except a twelve year old."
Magi and Flora glanced at each other. Before Cassie could complain more, a cymbal rang. Everyone covered their eyes, and then glared at Tim. "Sorry, Selena likes to make a statement."
Everyone went to the seat with their name on it. They were in table with six chairs Flora sat next to her mother. Tim sat next to an older man and Barbara Gordon. Sitting next to them was a boy about ten. (My friend made me put him in my story. He actually comes into the story in a couple chapters.) Dick and Zatanna sat at a table near them, but the boys stared at him like poison. Cassie sat next to Magi. Jaime sat across from Magi with Bart next to Cassie. Virgil sat on Jaime's other sat. The chair between Virgil and Magi was empty, but it had a card. Magi grabbed the paper.
Five minute warning.
Bart tried to start eating, but Magi coughed. "Paz mih." A lightning bolt was sent up his arm. "You can't eat 'till the head gets here."
Suddenly, the cymbal rang again. In came Bruce Wayne, Selena Kyle, Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Oliver Queen, Dinah Lance, and Percy and Annabeth Jackson. Bruce and Selena sat down at the table with Tim. Percy and Annabeth sat down with the Stoll. Clark and Lois went to where rest of the Daily Planet sat. Oliver and Dinah went to a table with someone important I just can't think of someone. Bruce stood up. "Thank you all for coming. Tonight, I welcome many friends. First are Perry White and some of his reporters from the Daily Planet. Also, Percy Jackson, his wife Annabeth, his parents, and his adopted sister Margret. As well as, Travis Stoll, his wife Katie, and his daughter Flora… oh, Connor's here too? Welcome Connor. Lastly, I'd like to point out that Jaime Reyes is here. Many of you know him as a Reach traitor, but Batman has told me that the Reach tricked Jaime into giving control to them in April. Jaime was freed in June by Zatanna." Magi ducked her head as everyone clapped. No one, but Zatanna and Flora, noticed. "Now, we can eat."
No sooner had he said that, a smoke bomb erupted. Six figures appeared. They were Two-Face, the Joker, Harlequin, Poison Ivy, Mister Freeze, and the Riddler. At the same time, the skylight crashed. Aqualad, Miss Martian, Superboy, Guardian, Bumblebee, Lagoon Boy, Beast Boy, and Tigress appeared. The Riddler smirked, "What's the difference between the Gods of Olympus and the Justice League?"
Poison Ivy answer, "The gods have more power. Like us."
Ironic, yes. Lying, maybe not. Guess what happened while I was writing this. Let's just say, my sister is eating a sock.
"Do you want your sock back? I'll put it back on your foot."
"Carol, get out of my face, keep the sock, and go finish that paper before we all start yelling at you again!"
Yeah, isn't it sad that I got a cool Greek name and her name's Carol? But, back to the story, I'm brain dead. I have some of the plot sound, I just here to get from here to there. I'm not going to tell you in detail the fight. Batman sees how bad the Team is doing against the villains and the leaguers there have to fight. They win, (Night wing and Zatanna do nothing, Magi couldn't either, cause she's new at this.), but Riddler gets away. Everyone else goes to Arkham. Now they have to listen to the how-could-you-mess-up-again speech from Bats.
