It's been two months since they were chased out of camp, and turned younger. They've been constantly on the move during the day, and at night, they sleep on the floor in the factory.

They don't like using their powers, something always felt off when they did. It was like their powers were growing, and they couldn't control them.

However on days like today, they had no choice. They'd run out of ambrosia and nectar, and needed new shoes. So, they headed to Vancouver. Where Artemis and her hunters left them supplies.

Thalia took them there, with her lightning travel. She discovered this the minute they began running from their family, it's when lightning transports them to their place. It's actually their preferred way to travel, doesn't leave any bad feelings, but it's too showy. Not stealthy at all. Well what do you expect when it has you disappearing and re appearing in flashes of lightning.

Anyway, Thalia overshot by about two states. So Nico shadow traveled them back to the drop site, where they quickly gathered the items. Then Percy Vapor traveled them back to Gotham, or would've if she hadn't sent them to Olympus! Nico quickly pulled them into the nearest shadow, before depositing them in their hideout.

They all collapsed, completely exhausted. But, they had to train, just for a little bit. They stood up, and practiced hand to hand combat. Till they all literally passed out, and collapsed from exhaustion.

The sirens had been staking out this abandoned factory, well, it wasn't abandoned anymore. They'd been protecting it, from the other villains of Gotham.

"How in the world did such young kids end up here?" Asked Ivy, as she watched the kids drag themselves up.

"I don't know, but we've been watching them for months. They don't have parents Ivy, they're on their own, and judging from how often they let their guard down. They're running from something, being chased." Catwoman said, and Harley frowned.

"Say, aren't those Mista J's men?" She asked, pointing to the group of goons that had been circling the block.

"They're Joker alright, But look. Penguin has goons here too." Ivy said, as she pointed the the men employed by Penguin. Selena paled.

"Girls, we have to warn Batman." She said, and they nodded to her. Telling her to go.

"Go, we'll hold them off as long as we can." Ivy said, and Selena nodded. Before she turned and ran off into the night. Straight to someplace that was sure to get the Bats undecided attention. Or the little bird.

"Harley, you stalk the men as long as you can. I'll get the kids out of the building." Ivy said, and Harley nodded. Before she climbed down the building, and made with the distraction.

"Oh boys, would one of ya tell me why you're here? Without my puddin?" Harley asked, and Ivy took this as her chance to go.

She sprinted and jumped onto the roof of the factory, and made her way to the sleeping children.

"Psst." She said, and they all bolted upright. On high alert, Ivy put her hands up in surrender.

"Hey, I'm not here to hurt you. If I was, I would've left you asleep. I'm here to get you outta here, we have to go. Joker, Riddler, and Penguin are almost here." She said, and the kids looked at each other.

"How can we trust your word?" Asked the eldest, and before Ivy could speak. Something hit her, making her scream in pain. She collapsed, the kids all ran to her side. She wanted to scream at them, tell them to run as far away from here as they could, but she couldn't.

"Hmmm, looks like we've got some trespassers." Penguin said as he stepped into the light.

"I am red and shiny
With leaves of three
What am I?" Asked Riddler, as he too appeared.

"Poison Ivy?" Asked Thalia, and the riddler laughed.

"Hmmm, looks like this kiddie has a brain. What do ya think harls, do we keep her or beat her?" Asked the Joker, as he stepped into the light. Holding a crowbar, Harley stepped forward, she looked scared.

"Why don't we leave these kiddies alone Mista J? Please?" She asked, but Joker just spun around. He caressed her cheek, before she passed out. With two tranqs sticking out of her side, and the kids gasped.

Thalia placed herself in front of her cousins, trying to put as much space between them and those crazies as possible.

"Now, let's have some fun boys." Said Joker, as he took out a knife. Percy tightened her grip on Nico's arm, he hugged her tighter. Absolute fear shone in all of their eyes, and they knew they weren't physically rested enough to even defend themselves.

Riddler grabbed Thalia, and dragged her away. Penguin grabbed Nico, and had his men restrain the boy. Leaving Percy to Joker, which meant that he began to beat her with a crowbar.

The team had been flying through Gotham, looking for the kids bats sent them to find. When Robin suddenly stood up.

"Miss M, open me a hatch, now!" He demanded, and since it was Gotham, he was leader. So she opened him a hatch, and he flipped out through it. They watched as he spoke to someone in the shadows, and he nodded then gestured for the person to show them.

'Team, follow me. Stay in the Bioship, we've got a location.' Robin said through the mind link, as he shot off into the night. Following behind some woman in black spandex.

They ended up at an abandoned factory, so they snuck their way in, and saw Robin conversing with the woman.

"Robin, you and your team get those kids outta here. I'll grab the other sirens." The woman said, before she vanished.

"Robin, who was that?" Asked Megan, he sighed.

"Just an ally, now come on. She said the kids are in the main assembly room." He told them, before they followed him. When they got there, they were horrified. The kids were being beaten senseless!

"Robin, what do we do?" Asked Wally, as he watched a young girl around maybe seven get hit with a crowbar.

"Get the kids outta here, and to safety." He stated, and they nodded. They crept to the back of the group, towards the oldest of the kids.

Zatanna easily took down riddler, and the girl looked at them in fear. She shoved some sort of gold square into her mouth before she turned and bolted to the boy. Who was being beaten by Penguin.

"Don't touch him!" She shouted, as she suddenly tackled him off the boy. And knocked him out, spinning around, she helped the boy up.

"Hurry up and eat the gods damned ambrosia already." She hissed, and the boy rolled his eyes.

"Think you can get her to us without physically getting over there?" She asked him, and he nodded. Then the girl being beaten by joker vanished, and reappeared with them.

"Come on, get up Kelp Face." The eldest said, before she poured something into her mouth. The girl coughed, and sat up.

"Neeks, help me with her." The girl said, before they ran off. Carrying the younger girl.

"Go after them, we've got them." A voice said, and the team turned and saw the woman in black with two others.

"Are you sure?" Asked Robin, and they nodded.

"They need to remember why we're the sirens." Said one of the girls still in shadows, and Robin nodded.

"Come on, let's go." He said, and they ran after the kids. They found them, they were grabbing backpacks. But, they heard them coming. The kids spun around, and the team was shocked to see pure terror in their eyes.

"Hey, we're not here to hurt you." Robin said, with his hands up, but as the team tried to get closer to them, the older girl said something in another language. The two by her side must've understood her, cuz they nodded their heads. Then, a bolt of lightning struck, and momentarily blinded the team. When they opened their eyes, they saw the kids were gone.

"Where'd they go?" Asked Wally, and Connor looked around. Then pointed down a hallway.

"They went that way, I hear their heartbeats. They're scared, and running fast." He said, and the team chased after them.

"Hey, what caused these puddles and scorch marks?" Wally asked, and Artemis looked disgusted.

"I wanna know where these bones came from." She said, as the chase was leading them through these weird things.
