Chapter 1: Initiation
Washington D.C., America
July 3, 01:00
Bruce Wayne sat in his office with his hands resting on intertwined fingers. Staring off into nothing and thinking. Was it a good idea to have gone through with it? With Germany rushing into Europe, Japan into Asia and the Soviet Union refusing to help anyone, the war might just come to them, regardless of whether or not they wanted to stay out of it.
They needed all the help they could get, especially help from their… sector of the American military. One of them was almost a hundred normal men, and that counted a lot on the battlefield.
Speaking of which, their part of the military was very different compared to the normal sections. For one, they were all enhanced in some or other way. Another thing that separated them from normal sections was that their members were all higher-ups and from different sections of the military, like the air force, navy, army or marines. Most of them mixed around in two or more sectors.
Now, everyone that wanted to join the military had to be of 18 years old or older. But the thing that Bruce was considering was something no one had probably ever thought of and gotten through with – a teenaged team of soldiers.
Bruce never did anything unnecessary or redundant. There were many perks that came with youth. They were more agile and could last longer in their military career. And the best thing was that no one expected teenagers to be on the battlefield – they'd make a very good Covert Ops team.
The higher ups, even the president, had already seen his proposal and after a little persuasion, agreed to the idea. He only had to choose the best participants for the team members. That was key.
He'd chosen trained teenagers, ranging from the age of 13 to 18.
The leader would be Kaldur, adopted son of his friend Arthur Orin Curry. With the racial issues still going on, Bruce had wavered when putting him as leader, but dismissed it. He knew the kids personally and they weren't the kind to be complete mules about his decision.
Bruce had also added the two Queen children, Artemis and Roy. Both had also been adopted, but they both followed in Oliver Queen's footsteps as accurate archers. Both used different types of bows though, and while Roy tended to use red feathered trick arrows, Artemis strung green feathered steel tipped arrows that killed easily.
He'd hesitated, but put his own son in anyway. Richard Grayson-Wayne could handle himself in a battle, having been taught personally by him, and he'd have been extremely mad at him if he hadn't been put in. Bruce knew he trusted his son to be safe with the team. His and the Queens' only weakness were that they didn't have powers or any enhancements. The only thing they had was training, combat skills and their smarts.
After much consideration, the officer had finally added in Conner Kent, son of Clark Kent. The father and son duo were almost indestructible, with the exception of Kryptonite which was scarce even on earth. Sadly, Clark Kent had an unstable relationship with his son. Conner's mother had died while giving birth to him and he'd grown up on a farm with his grandparents. Clark hardly spoke to him, letting his work get between them.
Megan Morse was another problem. She was the niece of Jon Jonzz, who had taken her in after her parents had died. Megan, while being a powerful psychic and telekinetic, was too soft. The battle field might be the grim place where she'd go into shock. In the end, he'd added her in too, calculating in the fact that Megan was frequently in the medical rooms, tending to soldiers that had gotten injured during training. It would come in handy if anyone was hurt in enemy territory or far from any medical stop overs.
Zatanna Zatara, daughter of Zatara, was a choice he contemplated. She and her father were magicians, and Zatanna had already surpassed her father's expectations of her at her age. One of the things that kept him from choosing her immediately was that when she recited spells, they tended to echo. That would give away their position as a co-ops team immediately.
Lastly, was speed demon Wally West, nephew of the famed Barry 'flash' Allen. Wally moved in with his uncle when he was young, due to a child abuse case, so they were very close. Wally was almost as fast as his uncle, with people calling him 'kid flash' from time to time. The thing about him was that he was too laid back and easy going. His personality didn't fit military life. But since he was as laid back as Barry, he'd survive.
Those 8 were the chosen ones for the new Young Justice Alpha Team.

July 10, 23:17
The drone of airplane turbines filled the air, just seconds after wailing air raid alarms sounded, alerting every one of their presence. Dark green war planes flew into sight, racing ahead as the hangars below them split open and let loose a torrent of large bombs onto the small village near the France borderline.
The town, truthfully, was already in shambles. The Germans had persisted with their ruthless attacks and were slowly driving the French away from their homes. Only a few had still stayed behind, most of them military personnel.
This attack, though, wasn't just driven by their cause. Intel from spies in France had informed them of a special group of military operatives' presence in that town for a few days. No other information had been sent after that date, revealing the discovery of the spy's identity by the government.
Weeds grew wild among destroyed houses, along with flowers that twined around broken pillars. A red haired girl stood in the middle of the disaster zone. Before the bombs reached the town's highest standing building, she lifted her arm, with her palm facing upwards.
The bombs stopped in their tracks, as though caught in a net. Right then, a boy and a girl, both in their later teens, stepped out from two different buildings and drew a bow each. Taking only a second to fire, the two trick arrows, one olive green and one dark red, whistled through the air with ease and hit their targets: a strategic bomb at each corner of the sky.
They exploded, setting off a domino effect that soon had the starry sky empty of threats, though leaving debris falling like rain. A breeze brushed past the first girl, whipping her thick red locks around as she smiled.
That breeze turned out to be a teenaged boy, also with flaming red hair. Shooting the sky a look, he made as if he were about to run, then blurred into a hurricane that sucked in all the falling debris and threw it all to the side of the town.
Gunshots echoed as a two dark figures landed on the plane. The bigger, burly looking one had flown both boys up. Easily, he held onto the smaller boy and ripped off the cover of the plane, sending the pilot flying. The small, lithe boy hopped into the pilot seat and drove it, turning around to face the other planes that were left.
The other boy flew off and straight towards the planes, brushing off the bullets like they didn't affect him.
"sehsa ot nrub dna llaw a kcab dloh" A raven haired girl shouted out, her voice ringing as she floated into the air, her hands out in front of her and clad in pristine white gloves. Some war planes in her line of view immediately erupted into flames, while some others seemed to crash into an invisible wall.
The last boy with cropped short hair stood on top of a building as he drew two clear, translucent bearers that lighted up when he raised them, a blue glow forming slightly before water appeared out of the air, rushing towards the oncoming planes.
When the sky was finally cleared, the eight teenagers regrouped in the middle of the town.
"Good Work, YJ Alpha. We'll be reporting back to base tomorrow morning."
Phew! And that's it for this chapter.
I hope you enjoyed it.
