Connor perked up from his slouched stature on the couch, eager to see his M'ghann as the Zeta Beam flared, announcing the three. But his eagerness was soon forgotten when the redhead and Artemis, yelled for help, dragging along the limp black haired woman.

Instantly, Wally was by the Archeress's side with Dick close behind. Though the Martian and the blonde woman were strong, their combined emotions of panic and worry, caused them to almost drop Perci. But Dick lunged forward, taking the sea green eyed woman into his arms, cradling her protectively.

He tucked a lock of her silken hair behind her ear, away from her pale and sweaty face, whilst Connor and Wally consoled the other two women.

Kaldur then appeared, "Friends, Lady Diana has just collapsed, she is now-" The Atlantian paused to see the Ocean's Daughter in a similar state, "In sick bay."

The blue eyed man then stood, holding Perci in a bridal position. He stared at her face with a soft look and followed Kaldur to the sick bay, the others close behind.

Young Justice entered the medical room to find the Amazon looking exactly like Perci. Her face pale and coated with a light sheen of sweat.

Dick reluctantly lied her down on the bed next to Diana, afraid to let her go. He wasn't very surprised to find his adoptive father holding the Daughter of Zeus's hand.

Bruce had a blank expression on his face, but with years of living with the man and being at his side while protecting the people of Gotham, Dick could clearly see the worry beneath his mask.

The demigoddesses woke at the same time. With loud gasps that spiraled to quickened pants, then falling into a state of shock.

J'ohnn was readily equipped to calm them and as the heart beats of them both slowed, becoming the regular thump thump of life, each hero sighed with slight relief.

A silent look of determination crossed between the two. Order had taken Chaos. And there was only one thing they could do.

:3

The Martian Manhunter had declared that Perci and Diana had to spend the night in the medical bay, to keep a close eye on them both, in case either of them were to have another panic attack.

Neither could sleep, the deadly knowledge of one of the two most powerful beings had been chained up in a place where none knew, by the other.

"Diana?"

"Hmm?"

Perci swallowed the lump in her throat, "How will we find her?"

The Amazon sighed in annoyance. Not at her cousin, but at herself. She didn't know how either, "I am unsure Perci. Perhaps, if she can, Chaos will send us some sort of message. On where she is or how to get to her."

Though in the dark, the Saviour nodded, knowing full well that Diana couldn't see her, but the Amazon could feel the acceptance of her given answer.

The echoed sound of light footsteps closing in on them, made the two quickly fake unconsciousness, both unwilling to be caught without some much needed rest. The sick bay door opened and with the muted light from the outside hallway, Perci could only just see the outline of the body and half of the intruder's face.

Dick.

He practically tiptoed to her bed and seated himself on the chair right next to her bed. Perci's softly calloused hand was taken and placed in his own calloused palm, hers tiny compared to his.

The demigoddess made sure to deepen and steady her breathing, projecting the image of peaceful slumber.

"Perci." The black haired hero rasped quietly, "I know this probably the last thing you need to deal with at this point in time, seeing as all the crap you have to face soon with that asshole."

He let out a deep, but sorrowful breath, "But I don't think I can say this to you while you're awake."

A thumb stroked her cheekbone, then a hand brushed through her unruly black hair, "I met you. You punched me in the face." Dick said with a slight chuckle.

"Then I got to know you and I learnt so much from you. And leaving you? My chest felt like it was going to concave. Seeing you again, I was so happy."

Perci's heart began to quicken, while off to the side, Diana had to bite her lip to stifle a grin and an 'awww.'

"Then you were taken from me and I wanted to rip the world apart to find you again. Then it came clear to me why I feel like this."

Another hand was stroked through her silky locks, "I love you, Persephone Jackson. In love with you. So much, it hurts when you're away from me. You don't need this and deserve so much more than me and this entire dam world. I would do anything to keep you safe from this son of a bitch. But I can't. I can't even tell you I love you to your face. But I can only hope you love me too."

It had been half an hour since Dick's departure and now Perci was curled up into a ball right next to Diana.

In tears.

"He's Just another person Order can take from me." She sobbed, "I can't even tell him I love him, Di! I do! But Order will find out and kill him."

Diana could only hold her cousin tight, while she cried her heart out. The Amazon knew this pain.

Steve.

Bruce.

She knew it all too well.

The next day, J'ohnn had wanted the two veterans to stay the day in the medical bay, but Diana and Perci wouldn't have it.

So here Young Justice and the Justice League were, lining the walls of the training room and all eyes focused on the two women standing face to face. Unlike last time, the Amazon and the Saviour were not loose or defensive. The looks in their eyes showed the strong determination of them both even though their faces were blank and unforgiving.

Nothing was more important for what they were here for. The reason was unknown to all but Dick, Arthur and Kaldur. And without warning, Diana and Perci lunged at one another.
