The crisp winter air entered Pollux's lungs. He was just about finished with his routine check up on the vineyard when a councilor's meeting was called, which was weird since it was almost time for curfew to be called.

When he made it to the pong room, everyone else was there waiting for him, some their eyes were half closed while the others were yawning. "Good everyone's here now. Percy, may you?" As Chiron spoke, Percy, who was draped in his turtle nighty, made a circular motion with his right hand, causing the water in the atmosphere to form a floating ring of water. Following the sea spawn's gesture, Soltace extended his arm and began to glow, making a rainbow.

Chiron walked forward to beginnings of an Iris message, tossing a drachma into it and called out, "O Iris goddess of rainbows, please show me Rachel Dare, Gotham city." A few seconds passed and the image of the red head sitting, on what appears to bean bag, could be seen. "What's the matter Red?" Travis asked, in a serious tone, rather unlike his usual self.

"We've got another prophecy. "

This is fake right? The room felt stagnant, a cold wind passing through like a blizzard. This has to be fake. "It's a small prophecy right?" Pollux asked, his eyes darted around frantically for someone to give him some slither of hope that his wish was true. "Right guys?" But alas, everyone just confirmed his fears.

"I'll recite it now."




















It was a few minutes before anyone really recovered from the shock that this was happening so soon. The first person to speak was the head of the Athena cabin. "So I'm guessing that they're the superheroes mentioned in the prophecy?" "Correct." Was the swift reply received from the young miss of the Dare household.

"Hold on a minute! You just can't give out confidential information like that." Artemis exclaimed, causing Rachel to turn to her.

"Listen, miss..." Rachel paused, signaling for someone to give her a name. "Artemis." "Miss Artemis, this entire conversation under normal circumstances would not have been witnessed by the likes of you 'super heroes.' Secondly, this entire situation is greater than us. We are trying to save reality as we know it from crumbling and being destroyed by some godly being. So if you'd do us the bare minimum and be cooperative so that we can save the world, it would be greatly appreciated. "

That seemed to quite all of them down as they all shared the same look conveying that it was in their best interest to settle. Well all of them except some odd masked man who was concealed in a corner of the Iris message. "All right guys, it's pretty late now, and I'd think it would be best if we all could group in the morning to discuss this when were all refreshed. " Everyone nodded in agreement with the centaur.

"Rachel, see how fast you can make it here with these super heroes so that we can have a more secure conversation away from prying eyes and ears."

Sighing, the red headed Oracle agreed. "Okay so its settled. Tomorrow before breakfast we'll have a meeting. I'll send Percy to collect you lot, Apollo's been teaching him to drive the sun chariot, so he'll be there at sunrise. " A groan could be heard near Annabeth, which one would assume originated from her tired boyfriend.

"I understand, goodnight everyone."
