Hey Birdie

Chapter 9: 21 Questions

I don't own Percy Jackson or Young Justice.

The day after found the team sitting in the living room of the mountain. Correction, Kaldur, M'gann, Conner, and Artemis were hanging out in the living room. Wally and the two younger bats were nowhere to be seen.

It was Sunday, they had been given the day off by Batman, meaning no training. He wanted them to get to know Tidal Wing better, figure out their dynamic as a team with a new member. Said member, as previously mentioned, was nowhere to be seen.

Artemis was getting impatient. "Where are they? What's taking so long?"

Kaldur answered. "I'm sure they have their reasons for being late."

"Well, we actually weren't given a time to meet..." Megan trailed off.

"So what. We're just gonna wait for them to feel like showing up?" Conner growled.

"Perhaps we should try to contact one of them. And if we cannot, we could try Batman." Kaldur suggested.

The rest of the team agreed.
Just as Megan floated back into the room with the communicator, they heard the zeta beams power up.

Kid Flash, B03
Tidal Wing, B08
Robin, B01

"WALLY! I swear if you don't give them back I will end you!" The voice belonged to their new member.

Robin's cackling trailed behind.

"I don't have them!" Wally defended himself. "Rob took them!"

As the three came into view, they could see Tidal Wing turn to face Robin with a glare. His face immediately fell and he gulped.

"I-" Robin began to talk, but was interrupted by Kaldur.

"What is going on?"

Percy turned to him and dropped her glare. "Sorry for being late. One of these idiots took my earrings."

Artemis scoffed. "Seriously?"

The glare sent her way could be felt through her mask. She didn't have the rest of her costume on, seeing as they were just going to hang out.

"They're important and both know perfectly well why." Her glare turned back to the red head and the bird.

The white of Robin's mask widened, coming to a realization. He reached into the pocket of his jacket and brought out two pearl earrings, speaking sheepishly. "Sorry Ti, forgot."

"Ha! Told you!" Wally shouted.

Both bats turned to glare at him. Tidal wing turned back to Robin and smiled. "I know youy like to annoy me, but my earrings are off limits."

He nodded and smiled back. In a sudden movement, Percy turned back to the team and clapped her hands. "Ok, we're supposed to 'get to know each other'." She made quotation marks in the air at the last words. "So, what are we gonna do first?"

The team looked shocked at her sudden change of demeanor. Kaldur, being the first one to come to his senses, spoke. "We were waiting for the three of you to decide on an activity."

The three nodded as Robin spoke. "Alright, what are the options?"

"Movie marathon, board games, training, walking through Happy Harbor, and going to the beach are what we have so far." Megan answered enthusiastically.

"Or we could always just sit and talk." Percy suggested. Everyone turned to look at her. "I mean, the whole point is to get to know each other better right? That's technically a training exercise. They best way to learn is to ask and answer questions."
