Lost Hero

Calm

"Thank you for hosting us, King Orin. Both Poseidon and I are grateful," Percy says, bowing slightly to King Orin and Queen Mera. 

"Nonsense Princess Persephone, we were happy to host you and the Young Justice team. Please know that you and the others are always welcome here," Queen Mera speaks, sounding genuine. 

"Thank you, Queen Mera," Kaldur says, bowing. 

"You ready everyone?" Percy asks, looking around the team. 

With the nods she gets, she concentrates and teleports them away, leaving the front entrance of the palace bare except for Orin and Mera. 

"Do you really think she will become Queen?" Mera asks, looking at where Percy once was. 

"I don't know, but I know that everyone in Atlantis would welcome her. I know personally, I would be happy to see her on the throne," 

***********************************************

In another palace, two deities were fuming. 

"How dare she?! She's just a bastard, she doesn't even belong anywhere near a throne. How dare they insinuate that she should be queen over me?!" Triton's voice shook the palace, causing anyone who heard it to cower in fear. 

"Then what are you going to do about it?" Amphitrite asks, lounging on a couch while watching her son fume. 

"I'm going to take her out of the equation, and I am going to make her suffer for even thinking of taking me off the throne," 

"But wouldn't that interfere with the previous plans?" Amphitrite asks, subtly egging Triton on. 

"No, I know that my halfbreed of a half-sister would attempt to interfere anyways. It'll be simplest to take her off the board before she even knows that there is a game to be played," 

Amphitrite smiles at her son's anger. Everything was going as planned and as long as it continued to, nothing could stop her.

"Okay, still not used to that I see?" Percy asks, watching as the team sways around nauseously. 

"I don't think we'll ever be used to that. There's something about being split into millions of pieces that will never seem normal," Conner says, shuddering. 

"I guess so. So, I've got something to share. How does one go about getting the Justice League here? It's something everyone needs to know," 

"Does it have to do with the monster's movements?" Dick asks and Percy nods, turning serious. 

"Yeah, in the three weeks I was gone, I wasn't just taking a vacation. Sure, some of it was spent in the pit, but most of the time I was tracking the movements of monsters and investigating what exactly they were doing. I didn't get very far, but the League should know what I found," Percy explains and the team nods, Dick stepping forward. 

"I'll request that the League gathers. I'm sure Diana could convince them if Bruce can't," Dick says and Percy nods appreciatively. 

"Great, I'll get it set up. I'm sorry that we couldn't have a longer vacation, I have a feeling that things are going to get hectic for a while," 

The team nods at Percy's words, knowing that she was right. 

"It's fine, Percy. We all know what the superhero business is like. If we wanted quiet, we would all be accountants," Dick jokes, causing Percy to smile.
