The Sea and the Sun

Chapter II

I don't own Percy Jackson or Young Justice.

Roy:

For once, Roy's day wasn't so frustrating. Kaldur had decided to spend his day off with him. Which, honestly, meant that they were going to spend the day searching for leads on Percy.

"Have you found anything new?" Kaldur asked.

He shook his head. "No, but I'm heading to camp this weekend, maybe they have something new. Do you want to come?"

Kaldur nodded. "I think it would be for the best."

They both remembered the last time Roy had gone to camp. The campers tried convincing him Percy was dead. It didn't go well. Let's just say Will had a lot of work that day.

"Yeah..."

They spent the next few minutes looking at sightings of Percy in Europe. Begining to get frustrated, Roy threw a file across the room. As Kaldur was about to say something, his communicator beeped.

"Aqualad, you're needed at the mountain. Get here as soon as possible." Batman's gruff  voice came over the small device.

Roy rolled his eyes as Kaldur looked at him. "Would you like to come? It might keep your mind off of her for some time."

He thought the offer for a bit before shrugging. "Why not? Bugging the team might put me in a better mood."

The two exited the apartment, Kaldur chuckling.

Percy:

She had been here for about two hours. There had been five people who had come in to interrogate her, all dressed in weird outfits. The sixth was the Bat himself.

After about 25 minutes of trying to get her to talk, he walked out. She began humming the tune of 'Killer Queen'.

She began playing with the cuffs that bound her wrist to the leg of the table, already bored. She could get out of them easily, but messing with the heroes was fun.

No one:

Outside, in a different room the team stood before Batman, minus their leader.

They were waiting for Kaldur. None of them could get a word out of the girl. And if Batman couldn't do it, maybe a levelheaded person could. Besides, Batman had said she was a water based meta, so maybe Kaldur could help with that too.

The sound of the zeta tubes powering up alerted them of an arrival.

Aqualad, B02
Speedy, B06

"It's Red Arrow!" Roy exclaimed.

This surprised the team, why was Roy here? The question was answered when the 18 year olds walked into the room.

"C'mon. It wasn't that bad." Roy said, sounding indignant.

Kaldur gave him a deadpan look. "Ten people Roy."

Roy rolled his eyes. "If this is how hanging out with you is, then I don't want you coming with me this weekend."

Going where? Kaldur ignored him, walking up to the group. "Batman, what seems to be the urgent matter?"

Batman, ignoring Roy, spoke. "I found a meta in Gotham. We've run her through facial recognition. The only matches are grainy images from street cameras. She hasn't said a word. I was hoping you could get her to speak."

This seemed to surprise both boys.  Batman couldn't get someone to talk? They turned to look at the screen which showed a live feed of the room. The girl was facing away so her face wasn't visible to the camera.

"Oh, I've gotta see this. Can I try? I want to know who can withstand the Batglare." Roy spoke, looking at Batman.

The Dark Knight seem to think it through before realizing there was nothing to lose. He nodded. "You can go in before Kaldur."

"Heck yeah!" Roy cheered.

Artemis snorted. "Yeah, good luck with getting her to speak."

Roy shot a glare at her before walking out of the room, headed for the one in which the girl was being held.

He walked in and stood in front of her. He waited for her too look up. The smirk on their faces dropping once their eyes met, realizing who they were looking at. Her eyes widened at the same time his did, both frozen.

In the other room, Kaldur froze as well. Her face was now visible on the screen, and he didn't like where this was going. The rest of the team turned to look at him in confusion.

Robin took in his face and spoke. "Kaldur? What's wrong?"

"σκατά. He's going to kill her." The Atlantian whispered under his breath, seeming to not have heard Robin.

Batman's glare darkened. He was about to ask what he meant by that, when Kaldur took off running.

The team, even more confused and worried than before, followed.

Cliffhanger! Is that even considered a cliffhanger? Eh.

Anyways, what do you guys think. Sorry it's short, but I wanted to end it right there.

Also, question. Would you guys prefer me to write conversations meant to be in ancient Greek, actual Greek? Like, I would write the conversation in Greek and then put the translation right after it. Or do you want me to just do something different to the writing like italics or underline to indicate another language. I won't post the next chapter until I have an answer, sorry.

Also, what type of music do you think Percy would listen to? Like, I'm generally curious. I feel like she would listen to Queen. Not sure about anything else.

Anyways, thank you all for reading, commenting, and voting!
