I woke up at five as I do every morning, I was immediately on high alert when I saw that I wasn't in my room, but then I remembered what had happened yesterday, and how I was know a member of the team known as the Young Justice, I got up and was about to get some clean clothes out of my dresser when I remember that I didn't have anything here and that I would have to go home to and get things today, but then I saw the note on the night stand.

Ann.

I brought some of your things over while you were asleep knowing that you woundn't like having to go home to get them, I'm a little disappointed that you didn't wake up but remembering what a long day you had , had I decided to let it pass, this time. don't let it happen again.

I had that new wardrobe that you had bought for school taken to your room and all your school supplies are in your cabinet, enjoy your first day of school, don't cause any trouble, don't start any fights but if some one is picking on you putt them on the ground, I want A's or B'S and no allowance if you get anything less.

I Love You: Dad.

I smiled and pulled a lighter out of my pocket, I lit the letter on fire before dropping it into the trash, I couldn't have anything pointing to Batman being my father, I smiled and walked over to my dresser remembering all the new clothes I had gotten for the new school year.

I chose a Sleeveless light Blue Top, some Short Jean shorts, some beautiful designer heels, my favorite leather jacket and my leather backpack, which I packed with the things I would need for school.

looking at the clock I saw that it was already almost six, walking out of my room I almost collided with Conner who caught me and set me back on my feet, "good morning Annabeth." Conner said with a smile, he was wearing a black T-shirt with the Superman logo on it in red, Black jeans and he had a silver backpack, all in all, he looked H-O-T hot.

"Good morning Conner," I told him smiling, "can you call me Ann? being called Annabeth makes me think I'm in trouble."

"Sure Ann." Conner said smiling, the two of us started walking towards the kitchen together and we both stopped the instant we came through the door, Megan was standing in the middle of the kitchen kissing a green boy, looking at the green boy I recognised him as Lagoon Boy, Batman had told me that he wanted to join the Young Justice team but that the League wasn't sure if he had been trained by his mentor long enough, so they have him training with his mentor until they decide that he's ready to join the team.

the rest of the team was standing around in the kitchen and all of them looked up when Conner and I came in, no surprise, they all looked at me. "and what's your name, beautiful?" Wally asked as he used super-speed to come to where I was standing.

"back off Wally before I brake your jaw," I warned him, I didn't like being messed with before I had my coffee, something i got from my dad, and I was in no mood to listen to Wally hit on me. "I probably should have shown you all what I looked like without my mask on last night."

"Shadow?" Wally asked as he quickly backed away. "but your hair was Red."

"my mask changes my hair and eye color," I explained, by know Megan and Lagoon Boy had stopped kissing and were both looking at me, Conner had gone over to a cabinet and gotten out a cup which he had filled with coffee, before adding a spoon full of honey to it and bringing it to me.

"if I remember correctly this is how you like your coffee" Conner said, let me explain really quickly because you all must be confused, in school Conner is my best friend, he and I do everything together at school and we are always teamed together for school projects because the teachers know that we don't like any one else, well I don't, Conner 'used' to like Megan, we spent so much time together that we know almost everything about each other, except I didn't know that he was super-boy, and he didn't know that I'm Shadow and doesn't know that I'm Batman's daughter, although I think I might tell him.

"you remembered correctly Conner." I smiled at him and then the two of us sat down at the counter ad started talking in Greek, I had taught Conner how to speak in almost ten different languages last year, and Greek was our favorite.

"Annabeth Myers?" Megan asked, you could tell by her tone of voice that she was extremely surprised, but then she looked at the clock, "we're going to be late for school." she cried right before flying to the beam's and going through, I finished my coffee and Conner and I followed her.

6 hours later.

Conner and I had just gotten out of school, and we're on our way back to Mount Justice, but i wasn't ready to go back yet, and I wanted to tell Conner who I really was, so "do we have to go back to Mount Justice or can we go somewhere else for awhile?" I asked Conner.

"we can go somewhere else," Conner replied, "Batman never said that we HAVE to stay at Mount Justice when we're not at school or on a mission."

"awesome," I said, "then come with me I want to take you somewhere." Conner nodded and I grabbed his hand and led him to my silver Porsche which had been waiting for me when I got to school. I got into the drivers seat and Conner got in beside me, I drove for an hour before we arrived at our destination.

"where are we?" Conner asked as he looked around, we were standing in the middle of a beautiful forest, animals were coming out of the trees and bushes to look at us, there were all kinds of animals here, the animals that belonged in the forest and a lot that don't.

"this is the Helmi Forest, it was built by Billionaire Bruce Wayne from Gotham, it's a forest where injured or endangered animals can be brought if they need to heal of they need to be protected," I explained, "Batman also uses it as a place to work on his gear undisturbed."

"Batman?" Conner asked, confused that I had just gone from Bruce Wayne to Batman.

"Billionaire Bruce Wayne is Batman," I hesitated, "and he's also my father." I looked at Conner waiting for his reaction.

"Billionaire Bruce Wayne is Batman, and he's your father?" Conner asked and I nodded, "so your Batman's Daughter?" once again I nodded, "then why doesn't any one know that either Batman, or Bruce Wayne has a daughter?'

"my father was 16 when I was born, my mother didn't tell him about me, until I was three months old, she took me to my father and pressed me into his arms before she dropped dead at his feet." I explained, this was the first time I had ever told anyone about myself and I was afraid that Conner wouldn't understand why I lied to him, "my father kept me a secret because he was afraid that I would be in danger if people knew that Bruce Wayne was my father and even more if they knew Batman was my father, when I was 13 I became Shadow because I wanted to help Dad but I didn't want people to know that I was related to him, so I couldn't be called Bat-Woman"

"does any of the League know?" Conner asked, "you know besides Robin and Batman."

"Yes Wonder-Woman knows but that's it." I told him, and then I waited for his reaction.

So why did you tell me?" Conner asked" you could have chosen ayone to tell, why me?"

"Because I like you Conner," I told him, "I trust you, I know everything about you, your my best friend and I don't want to have any secrets from you."

"I'm glad you told me Ann, because I like you to and I don't want to have any secrets from you," Conner hesitated and then took a deep breath. "the reason Megan and I broke up is because, she had been using her gifts for wrong and turning the enemy's minds to mush, when I confronted her on it she tried to erase my memories of it, we broke up after that."

"you didn't have to tell me that," I told Conner.

"I know but I wanted to." Conner said, "I don't want there to be ay secrets between us, I really Like you Ann."

"I really like you to Conner." and with that I did something I never thought I would do, I kissed Conner. and he kissed me back, we broke apart and smiled at each other, before we went back to my Porsche and we headed back to Mount Justice.

"where have you to been?" Kaldur asked us as we came into the living room, "Batman has called a team meeting, come on."

Conner and I followed Kaldur and we soon arrived in the meeting room, where the rest of the team and the original seven of the Justice League was waiting.

"I have a new training exercise for you." Batman said. his eyes swept over us all and I saw them rest a moment on my right hand, which was holding Conner's left hand, he looked me in the eye for a second and I could tell that he was going to want an explanation.
