When I got to the mission room, nobody was there. I looked around. Nothing.
“Hello? Anyone there?” I called. Suddenly, arms of steel grabbed me around the waist and around my mouth so I couldn’t speak. I fought the grip, but it wouldn’t budge. A gag was placed over my mouth and hand cuffs were placed on my wrists. I was dropped onto the floor, and then a yellow gas filled my face. My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim. I saw looking Robin looking down on me. The rage that followed was enough to clear the air around me of the yellow smoke. I fought my hand cuffs with all my might. I saw Robin look away as something smacked me across the head and made me go unconscious.

I opened my eyes to find myself in a plain room. I went to rub my eyes, but my hands were strapped to a table. I licked the roof of my mouth to find it dry. I saw a glass of water just out of my reach. I tried to use my water powers from Poseidon, but I couldn’t without my hands. I tried to summon a shadow portal. I had the same problem.
“Metamorfó̱ste to fídi” I said. When nothing happened, I noticed the magical wards on my hands. Whoever did this obviously thought of everything. Well, almost everything. I still had my powers from Athena, Apollo and Demeter. A strategy was already forming in my head when someone walked in. It was batman and Robin.
“Where am I?” I demanded
“Arkham Asylum” batman responded
“You mean the place for crazy villains?” I asked “Are tu calling me crazy?”
“Sarah, please. Listen to us.” Robin pleaded
“You expect me to listen to you, traitor?!” I growled
“Sarah, we need some answers” batman dicho before Robin could respond.
“Why? tu seem to know everything: the sleeping gas, the magic wards, and the restraints to stop my powers” I glared at them
“I want to know three things: Why tu hate your birthday so much, why tu hid from us in your dome and where tu sent Kalder” batman said, ignoring my last statement.
“Personal reasons, personal reasons and he should have come out on the beach” I answered
“What do tu mean ‘should have’” Robin asked
“See, my shadow portals take tu to where ever I’m thinking. I was only half thinking about the playa so he could’ve come out on- oh no” I interrupted myself. I smacked the mesa, tabla and the glass of water spilled and ran down to my hands. It washed off my magic wards. I executed part of my plan: canto such a high note, batman and Robin went unconscious. I changed into a snake and slithered out of my restraints. I wrapped them in vines, then opened a shadow portal to Mount Tam. The mountain where Atlas holds up the sky.

Robin:
i decided to take a quick walk to get Artemis and Wally's yelling out of my head. there where little snowflakes falling and frost gathered on the ground, the harbor had a happy Christmasy feel to it, i walked por a little group of kids and they were singing.
"Dashing through the snow, in a pair of broken skis over the hills we go crashing into trees bam, bam, bam the snow is turning red i think i'm almost dead woke up in the hospital with stitches in my head" the song was odd but the kids were laughing, tu just had to smile, but then the kids went on to the segundo verse.
"Jingle bells, batman smells," WAIT WHAT?! my eyes widen
"Robin laid and egg," I glare and stomp up the sidewalk, but the kids are still singing
"The Bat-mobile lost its wheel and Joker flew away HEY, jingle bells, jingle bells.........." i mutter stupid kids

Yes, that's right, I'm back! And with a special sneak-peek to this Friday's chapter of corazón of Courage!

Red Revenge stepped out of the transporter to find Artemis waiting for him in full costume.
"Didn't take Boy Wonder long to figure out where I live, did it?" he asked, walking past her.
Artemis glared at him, but ran up beside him.
"Let me guess, tu want to talk about why I act like a jerk." Revenge said, still not looking at the archer.
"Actually, I thought we could go out for ice-cream." Artemis said.
Duh, duh duh!
