12:20 amBruce POV.
The room was oddly quiet, despite a plethora of unwelcomed guests being present. Civilians were not allowed access here for goodness's sake! As I stood at the entrance to the door, I heard a cough. I directed my gaze towards the creator of the sound. To my surprise, it was Perseus Jackson. The very person the Young Justice team was supposed to be surveying. He stood next to Diana, the air around him exuding a sort of wild, untamed danger that caused my throat to tighten. That certainly was not natural. "Wonder Woman, what is the meaning of this?"
Before Diana could even spew whatever excuse she had in her repertoire, an alarm went off. The Joker alarm. An image of the map of Gotham popped up on the screen to my left, with a video feed being broadcasted. "The Joker and Harley Quinn have been spotted with some odd-looking dogs down at crime alley. They appear to be heading to Gotham Central Park. Authorities are advising the public to steer clear of the park and surroundings. The mayor let out a statement half an hour ago to stock up on water, since the last fiasco went so horribly." I could make out Wally groaning beside me as I rubbed my head. The day was just getting started for goodness sake.
"So, I'm guessing that's a no to lunch." As swiftly as the remark had escaped Percy's mouth, Annabeth hit his arm. Almost unnoticeable. I'll have to keep my eyes out for her. "I will address this later. Team, we're off to Gotham Central. Get ready." As I made a 180 turn to the direction of my Bat mobile, Diana stopped me in my tracks. "Batman, please just listen to me for two minutes." I slanted my body to look at her, an expression I had never seen her wear plastered across her face. "I have been tasked to introduce the team to these four highly capable individuals, and I know that you are weary of everything, you have every right to. But please, take them with you, they are the most suited to deal with this situation. I will explain this to the Justice League in full detail afterwards. You have my word."
I glanced into her eyes, the sincerity of her words appeared true. I guess I'm babysitting more kids. "Fine. But as soon as I get back I expect you to be ready." I sighed, long and exasperatedly, before addressing Perseus and his associates. "You four are to get suits from the others. I don't need civilians being identified." With that, Diana gave me a curt nod and turned to whisper to the blonde girl, Annabeth Chase.
"Wait I never agreed to fight any κολασμένος. Jason did you?" Perseus tilted is head to the blonde's direction, his hands crossed. "Definitely no. Aren't we supposed to be on a break?" The other replied, an unnatural appearing smirk spreading across his face. "Fine! I will throw in some free supply shipments to Cabin 8 and a picture with Superman." Diana sighed, her hand covering her face.
With that Perseus made eye contact with me, his intense stare and schooled exoession exuding an air of authority. His next actions on the other hand, would dissipate tgat image. "If we're going down, let's do it with style." He said while flicking imaginary hair from the front of his hair. Jason joined in the random stupidity but striking a ridiculous pose from the other boy. I heard Piper mumble something along the lines of, "Thank the gods Leo's not here."
"Yeah otherwise this cave would already be disected and up in flames." Piper joked, well atleast I hope it was a joke, at Annabeth's statement. It seemed the other three visitors found it funny seeing as they all dawned looks of amusement.

Mount Justice
12:30Richard's POV
The team sat quiety in the Bio ship as it zoomed across Gotham at its usual ultrasonic speed. Unnaturally quiet at that, as our POI, person of interest, was included in the many passengers aboard the Martian aircraft. "Are you sure we'll be there soon." I heard him whisper to Annabeth. She nodded her head as a response, "We're like two seconds away from the park. And we've only been in the ship for 5 minutes at most." It was kind of odd seeing Jackson like that. His usual domineering presence seemed altered to him cuddly boyfriend persona as he held on to Annabeth, eyes closed.
"We are here. " M'gann announced as she turned to face Percy. "You don't have to be uneasy any more." Annabeth flashed a smile at her, raising her boyfriend from his seat and brushing his hair back with her right palm. "So what do you guys have in mind? I was thinking initiating a standard four point cornering strategy. We eliminate the κολασμένος in two teams and you do whatever with the Joker."
"What exactly are the katara whatevers? They look just like regular dogs to me." Artemis voiced, directing an inquisitive glance at Annabeth. "Who else see regular dogs?" With that, the entire team's hands shot up, causing Percg to sigh. "I'm not that great at mist manipulation so this'll most likely wear off in an hour." The suspected domestic terrorist stood up, extending his hands infront of him.
"Wait mist? Is that a type of magic?" I definitely don't like magic messing around with my brain that's for sure.
"Ask questions later. We need to hurry."
Percy suddenly flashed his hands and after that, my senses were clearer. And Perseus Jackson never looked scarier.
