So.... Been awhile... PLEASEDON'TKILLMEI'MTOOYOUNGTODIE! I blame my parents for taking away my computer and deleting Wattpad from my phone, before blocking the App Store. Also, it seems like no one understood my attempt at batsass... Batman doesn't joke. He doesn't joke in my story either. Bruce Wayne might joke, but Batman will not. There may be more batsass in the future though. Anywho... I think this AN has gone on long enough so: a short disclaimer then on to the story!

Disclaimer: Guess what? While I was gone for so long, I got the rights for Young Justice!

Dick: Uh... No you didn't.

Shhhh! They don't need to know that!

Wally: ... But it's the truth...

Grrrrr... Well at least I still own the Percy Jackson series.

Percy: ... Uh... You don't own that either...

At least I still own Nightshade/her secret ID which you don't know yet and the plot...

Nightshade: Uh-uh no way. You do not own me.

FanFiction: She technically does as you are an OC of her creation.

Nightshade: WHAT!? This is not happening. *starts to freak out*

Oh you'll have something to freak out over soon enough...

Nightshade: What are you talking about...

Oh, you'll see... ON TO THE STORY!!!

Previously:

"It doesn't matter what I say, it won't change the fact that she's already gone." Batman said.

Now:

"WHAT?!" The teens shouted in unison looking around for Nightshade.

"The little-" Kid Flash started mumbling.

"LANGUAGE!" Artemis interrupted.

"You don't need me anymore." Batman said.

"Wait! How are we supposed to deal with this?" Robin tried to ask Batman, but the dark knight had already ended the call. "What are we going to do?"

----MEANWHILE----

Browning leaves crackled under the pressure of her feet as she walked. The dry flaky tree appendage seemed to cackle every time her shoes hit the ground. Trees loomed over her in the cover of night, like silent statues watching her every move. She found comfort, the darkness like her home, shadows dancing around her even in the pitch black night.

She walked, looking around carefully, searching for what she was supposed to hunt.

Suddenly she was on the ground, the leaves crunching under her weight and her long pitch black hair falling over face. She scrambled to get up and leaves stuck to her clothes as she pushed her up off the forest floor.

She wanted to lay there forever, let the chill of the forest night edge the pain away. She wished she could just fall to the floor and let her exhaustion overcome her, but then they would get to her instead of the other way around. If they found her like this, she would die. So she grunted and stood up straight. Leaves and dirt fell back down the the forest floor. Her eyes hardened and her lips pursed in a straight line as she started walking once more. She would not die today.

The echo of howls sounded in her ears as she continued to weave her way through the trees. It was close, the piercing sound was so loud it could have been right next to her, she started to run. Another howl echoed through the wood, but the darkness bathed everything in shadows, even with her powers she couldn't see the evil that was chasing her.

Her legs burned like fire, muscles aching with every leap. She wouldn't let another innocent person die, she refused. Despite the burn in her muscles and the exhaustion that had begun to set into her bones she hurdled through the forest.

Another howl pierced through the wood and she pivoted her head back, glancing at the trees coated in darkness with fearful yet challenging eyes. It was much closer that time. It chilled her to the bone. She refused to die, they wouldn't defeat her, she had to win. She turned her head back around running faster only to stop completely in her tracks sliding on the leaves and falling to the ground.

In front of her red demonic eyes leaked out of the darkness, red orbs like flames from the pits of tartarus glared at her from their place in the shadows. She scrambled back, still on the ground, but the eyes followed her, watched her like she was something they could play with. The body soon followed the creature, stalking forward slowly like predator and prey. The black clad girl pulled one of the charms on her charm bracelet and a gleaming bronze sword appeared in her hands. She held it defensively, her hands shaking. She could take on one hell hound, easy.

She readied to attack, going over moves that she had learned from her dad and her trainer. . . That was until she heard a growl from behind her. It was a guttural sound, made in the back of the throat and was almost like low pitched gurgling. She tensed and her pitch black eyes widened behind her mask. Σκατα! (Ya.... I'm not going to tell you the definition of that.... You can look it up if you really want to know....) Why couldn't it be just one hell hound?

On instinct she dropped to the ground, crunching the leaves that didn't blow away. Above her a shadow passed over her head as a huge black mass flew over right where her head was. The creature landed in front of her, landing hard on the leaves before twisting around to face her making the leaves fly around it. The creature was like a Puma, lithe and muscular yet the size of pick up truck. It's fur was pitch black and was course but seemed to shine in the darkness.

She jumped to her feet once more and swallowed the lump in her throat, betraying her nervousness, as they started getting closer. That was when her eyes darted around her surroundings and caught view of another pair of red orbs. She twirled around with fear to see that they had surrounded her on all sides. 5 freaking hell hounds!

That was it the world hated her! Or at least the Fates must. She hadn't even finished Supernatural yet....

Oh no, she was not dying before she saw Hamilton in person. She absolutely refused.

"Can't we talk about this?" she started, her eyes darting back and forth between the monsters. "I mean I know you're pretty driven to use my bones as chew toys and drag me to the pits of hell but you gotta at least give me a ten second head start." All they did was growl In response and she tensed defensively.

One of the hellhounds got impatient and leaped toward her, she rolled under it and stabbed it in the stomach. The hound started disintegrating from the wound into golden dust. She was coated with a fine layer of the powder, contrasting sharply against her black costume and hair. She blew a strand of her silky, straight, black hair out of her face and glared harshly at the other monsters.

"Guess that's a no then." She charged the creature in front of her. The hellhound leaped towards her raking his claws where her stomach should have been but she twisted around them and stabbed the creature in the rib cage. It too started disintegrating as well and she huffed heavily in exhaustion. The other hellhounds darted towards her and she charged forward as well.

The creature from the right jumped toward her and she she rolled under it slicing it's side. She didn't see s the the hellhound behind her until late it raked it's claws along the small of her back. It burned like fire, the heat unbearable but she grit her teeth and made an indistinguishable growling noise. She twisted around and kicked the giant hound in the snout then slashed at its head slitting its throat.

As it started to disintegrate the other hound jumped on top of her and tried to claw her as she lay on her bleeding back but she held her blade up to block its massive teeth. It's head snapped at her neck wildly trying to bite her, to tear her throat out no doubt but she pushed up on the blade. She turned her head to the side her features scrunched in fear as drool leaked from the side of the rabid dogs mouth.

She kicked up with all of her power and the creature flew back a couple of feet but it caught its claws on her arms. One long scratch scraped its way down her arm and she nearly screamed in pain. She clenched her jaw and held her arm pain as she glared at the now recovering monster. She rolled backwards from her place on the ground and landed on her feet, bronze sword in her uninjured hand. With a grunt she stabbed her sword into the monster's chest and watched with satisfaction as pieces of it exploded into yellow powder.

Without looking behind her she flung her sword over her head and pierced through the skull of the last hellhound that she had sliced earlier and was sneaking up behind her. She collapsed to her knees breathing heavily with exhaustion. She wiped her face which was coated with layers of sweat and dust and looked around to the towers of dust smugly.

Until she remembered that she was in pain.

And that she had to be back at the Bio ship.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, there is still more for me to say...

Thank you to rAnDOm-caPitAls for writing the fight scene (from meanwhile onwards) for me. I just did a little editing so it flowed a little better with the story line.

From this chapter onwards, this book will be jam packed with references. Whoever spots the most, gets a shoutout in the next chapter. Also shoutout to anyone who makes a reference I didn't intentionally put in.

At the top it a song from my Nightshade playlist on Spotify that I listen to while writing and I add songs that I think go with the book or the character herself. My name on Spotify is kittyjemma because I made it forever ago, and I can't change my username there.

Also: If you watch Flash and Arrow there might be a oneshot coming out soon from me. Warning: It will definitely be very depressing. Explanation for why will be in the A/N for it. My life has basically just been going to Hell, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Life just hates me. Or the Fates hate me. Or they just want to see how much s**t they can throw my way before I finally break.

On a more positive note: TODAY'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!! I guess this is a present for you guys! They next chapter will be out soon. And not in nine months or something.

I am now officially rambling.... But wait! There's more! I am not abandoning this story. I have too many plans. After this fic (in like more than 20 chapters) I plan to make this into a series. With about 11 or so more books.

Have a good day/night whatever time it is where ever you are!

Write to you later my kittens!
