Circus Freaks Forever

Chapter 1

You know, I can't believe no one else has done a Young Justice/Mysterious Benedict Society crossover before. I mean, they both have very similar concepts. They're both about groups of extraordinary children, and they both have a kid who grew up in a circus in them... *cough*Robin*cough*Kate*cough* This chapter is pretty much a prologue. Bold italics are Romani, italics are... well, everything else. Why? Because I can.

In no way do I own YJ or The Mysterious Benedict Society. I wish I did, though.

The Bird and the Cat

All was quiet in the base. The villain to whom it belonged sat in a chair facing a computer screen, watching a video dated six years ago. It had been taped following one of the Haley's Circus performances, and followed two children- a girl aged eight and a boy aged seven –as they darted through the crowds.

"Come on Robin, let's go! Moocho made pies!" The girl laughed, her long blonde hair flying out behind her as she ran in a flurry of frantic action.

"I know Kitty, that's why I'm running!" What she made look hard, the boy made appear effortless, soaring through the air with a grace that showed why, even then, he was known as the Boy Wonder.

The video continued in that way for several minutes, with the children leaping about throwing good natured Romani insults at each other, before the villain paused the video and studied the two racing acrobats, frozen in a time before the pain and hardship that would start the next year. A soft laugh was heard from the shadows.

"Excellent. The plan is ready. Bane!"

"Yes?"

"Prepare for phase one. Oh, and tell our friend McCracken that we will soon be in need of his services."

"Of course."

The villain turned back to the screen.

"Soon, Richard Grayson and Kate Wetherall will get the surprise of their lives."

And as the villain spoke, in a large house in Stonetown, Mr. Benedict was telling a group of four children of Young Justice, and preparing an outing that would change the two children he was thinking of forever.

Alright, done! Please tell me what you think! Also, cookies to anyone who guesses a: the bad guy du jour and/or b: why Robin calls Kate Kitty. I know it's short, hopefully once I really start the chapters will get longer. Until next time, and
