(Wally's POV)

We. Are. Stupid.

Getting ambushed and caught after Robin went ahead? Definitely not one of our best moments.

We tried to leave ourselves, and attack, but the shock collars were some nasty pieces of work.

Like... reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally nasty.

I could only hope Robin would think of something to get us out of this pickle.

I was about to sit down again as Bane checked the crates when I felt something cold brush against my goggles.

I felt my heart skip a beat as I covered my smile.

Frost.

(Percy's POV)

The look on KF's face was hilarious, but he carefully masked it as he nudged the others, glancing to the guards.

Pointing to his ice touched goggles, all of their eyes widened before they masked their faces too.

Melting the frost, I nodded to Robin.

Ok, so here's our plan everyone:

1. Take as many guards down without them noticing

2. As soon as we're noticed, Robin attacks out in the open

3. Release the others and regroup quickly

4. Surprise attack, and beat Bane

I crept forwards as we started with the furthest guards, the ones that wouldn't be noticed as quickly.

I hit a pressure point silently, moving from one to another, dropping them like flies.

I could feel a ripple through the crowd as they felt something was off, and that was when they started noticing the many unconscious guards, tied up with ice and metal cuffs.

Robin slunk out of the shadows, sneering mercilessly at them, raising his katana, "What are you waiting for, you idiotic cesspools? Me to conquer your senseless selves single-handedly?"

Bane chuckled at him, causing a determined look to paint Robins's face, "I am here to reclaim my team and you cannot stop me."

As he continued, I realized I couldn't get to the team without being found out.

Vapor traveling would be useful, but I was getting tired. (It was like shadow travel, using it too much could cause me to collapse, which would be bad)

Sighing, I slowly walked through the room, sticking to the shadows, feeling Hermes' and Hades' gifts starting to work.

As I reached the others, I shorted out the collars with water particles, and their restraints fell to the floor with a satisfying clatter.

I spoke in a hushed voice, adrenaline shooting through me, "I need you all to listen to me, I know I'm new to the team, but I'm not new to non-favorable situations," I held eye contact until all of them nodded.

"Robin and I took down a lot of the guards, but we're going to need help now. We can't do it by ourselves, so you guys are up, and once you take them out, converge on Bane. I was able to take him out once, but I was very lucky, and he was softened up some before I got to him, so be careful. Stick together."

I ignored their suppressed gasps, "Does everyone know what to do?"

"Yes, we understand," Aqualad nodded to the team, "we have set up a mind-link once again, but it would be safer if you joined us as well, Seahawk. I do understand you are hesitant, but there would be a better chance at victory."

I started to mull it over, but I don't know if I could yet.

You need to try.

If something went wrong, I don't know what would happen, or what I would do.

I nodded, surprising myself, and the others, "Okay."

Miss Martian placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder, "I am going to need you to lower your mental walls," she saw my panicked face before rushing on, "just enough for me to establish a connection."

She looked deep into my eyes, and I saw a sisterly look on her face.

I can do this.

I lowered them.

Good afternoon fellow demigods, and dear mortals!

How is everyone doing today? I'm doing well and I hope you are too! 

Ok! Slowly but steadily we are reaching the end of the story. Afterward, I'm going to try to make some art and a couple of one-shots, that is if you guys would enjoy that. Let me know!

And school is almost over! Just 5 more days until it's over, (at least for me) and I wish all of those who are done, a very happy summer. 🥳
