Chapter Six

Two Weeks Later

Tempest stood beside Batman as they observed their allies exploring the Watchtower that had been put into orbit in space the day before. Batman had come up with the idea of their teamwork against the White Martians was a good thing and they might need to do it again, Superman had immediately jumped on board.

"So, what? We're a new Justice Society?" Green Lantern asked as him, Flash, Wonder Woman - Diana, Hawkgirl, Superman, and the two stood in the main room.

"We were thinking more a Justice League," Superman said. "Batman and I were thinking that if we teamed up combating global threats, helping each other with villains, or even galactic threats. I feel that we can do some good with this and that it would be at least worth a try."

The others exchanged glances before one stepped forward. "I'm in." Flash said.

"As am I. I'll also need help with better understanding man's world." Wonder Woman said, causing Tempest to roll her eyes. The Greek Amazon had not endeared herself to Tempest in the time that she had known her and she knew Wonder Woman felt the same towards her. Tempest knew it wasn't because Wonder Woman was the daughter of Zeus - uh hello, she was friends with two children of Zeus - or an Amazon - and it wasn't because she was an Amazon, Percy was friends with the Roman faction of Amazons - it was for the simple fact that Wonder Woman thought she was Tempest's superior in all things.

Tempest knew that if Wonder Woman tried to command or tell her what to do one more time she would flip out. They were all equals, none of them were above the other, that's why they were a team.

Stuck in her thoughts, Tempest didn't hear the others she only tuned back in when Batman touched her back gently and the others attention on them.

"What about the two of you?" Superman asked.

"Pass. The two of us work well together and trust each other. At this moment, I don't feel comfortable with working with you all yet." Tempest said.

Batman nodded his agreement with her words. "I agree with Tempest. When you need us, and you will, call."

The two them turned and left, heading towards the Bat Javelin, an upgrade from the Batplanes they had to do in order to travel into space.

They were halfway to Earth when Batman spoke up. "You do know that if we join the League, you will be in the spot light."

"I know, I was thinking about that. What about if you join the League and I just help as needed? An entity separate from the League. Gotham already knows who I am, the world is starting to as well. I'm sure that the big guns are going to be aiming at the League soon, you know this. Hopefully, with them more focused on you all, they'll forget about me, letting me become a forgotten about secret weapon."

Batman looked over at her in admiration. That's one of the things he loved about her. Her mind, her analytical mind in regards to war and tactics just amazed him sometimes.

"That's what we'll do then... I love you."

Tempest looked over at him and smiled, leaning over to place a gentle kiss on his cheek.

"I love you too. Drop me off in New York, will you? I have to head to Montauk and talk to Dad."

"Why don't I go with you?" Tempest looked at him, shocked. This would be the first time that he would meet her dad... this would also be the time that she would also be telling her dad that she was getting married.

"If you're sure, then we should head on home and then head up then. Make it a weekend."

"Sounds like a plan. Alfred might want to join us."

Tempest smirked. "Okay then let's go."

Percy stood beside Bruce and Alfred as they waited for Poseidon to show up. Percy had on a dark blue casual dress that came above her knees and a pair of blue high heels. She had on a white wrap and a blue clutch with her hair over one shoulder with a braid pining it to the side. (This outfit picture is on Wattpad)

Bruce stood in a black suit with a white dress shirt underneath. A navy blue vest and a dark blue tie and pocket handkerchief.

Alfred stood with his customary butler uniform.

Both males appeared very nervous as they waited for the god to show.

No one was there on the beach with them so Poseidon immediately appearing right in front of them. Percy didn't react instead she moved forward and wrapped him in a tight hug.

"Hey Dad."

"Percy, I haven't seen you in a while... and you must be Bruce Wayne and Alfred Pennyworth?" Poseidon tucked his daughter under his arm as he turned his attention onto the two males.

Alfred recovered first as he knew Master Bruce was nervous about meeting his love's father.

"Yes, indeed, Lord Poseidon. It is a pleasure to meet Miss Persephone's father at last." Alfred reached forward and shook his hand firmly. Poseidon smiled at the man before turning his dark green eyes onto the other male.

Bruce stepped forward after gaining confidence from a slight glance towards Percy.

"Lord Poseidon, my name is Bruce Wayne. It is an honor to meet you."

They shook hands, both staring each other in the eye before something seemed to pass between the two of them and whatever tension between them there was seemed to dissipate.

Poseidon turned back to Percy. "What brings you here? We weren't due to meet for another few weeks."

Percy smiled up at her father, who began to feel a bit of dread bubble up in his chest.

"Well, I have some news. Bruce and I are engaged." Poseidon froze, staring at his daughter who walked over and clasped hands with Bruce, the sun light causing the ring he could now see to twinkle in the light.

Poseidon could sense the love between the two, had felt it since Percy had told him about Bruce years ago.

Then he slowly began to smile. "Well then, I guess the only thing I can say is, congratulations." Percy smiled in return and moved forward to hug him.

"Bruce." Poseidon said, shaking the mortal's hand once again. He also felt a pang in his heart knowing that his daughter would no longer be solely his, he would have to share her with these two men, her mortal family, and any children she happened to have in the future.

His baby girl was growing up before his eyes. And he couldn't be more proud.

The four of them spent time with each other the rest of the day before Poseidon had to head back to Atlantis.

As they headed back to Gotham, Percy turned her head towards Bruce. "Well that went good."

Bruce raised their clasped hands to his lips and kissed the back of her hand.

"It did. I'm glad I met him. I could definitely see where you get most of your personality from."

Percy rolled her eyes but leaned over and leaned her head on his strong shoulder with a large sigh, closing her eyes as his warmth seeped into her.

He pressed a kiss to her head.

"Two more weeks before I can call you my wife."

"And two more weeks before I can call you my husband."

"I love you, Killer."

"I love you, Sunshine."
