YJ2: Action Figure Theatre
By: Kelly M. Maraglia (RobinIV)
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Young Justice or any of its individual characters or concepts. If I did, then Tim Drake would still be Robin. Damn you Willingham!!!!!!!!!! sigh I suppose I'll have to write a story that explains why Keelia no longer could fit into comic book continuity, considering she is no longer the fourth Robin or the first female for that matter. YJ2 characters are the property of my good friend, Brandon "Morally opposed to Impulse becoming Kid Flash" Johnson and me.
EXTRA NOTE: To those who read YJ: Second Generation, this might have taken place during the point when they went to the mall. I meant to put more into this chapter, but my summer classes are preventing that so I figured I'd put this up & see what you all thought. All the restaurant names are personal inside jokes or just takes on the real names.
As the six teens left the toy store, happily clutching their action figures, they decided to hit the food court for some munchies.
Marcus bought three Double Bacon Cheeseburger meals at Asuka's. Keelia bought a six-inch Italian BMT with double pepperoni instead of ham, a bit of fat free honey mustard sauce and lettuce and tomatoes from Highway. Kon, Cathie and Haze split two large cheese pizzas from Jabba Hut's Pizza. Danny bought a cinnamon/sugar pretzel and a pretzel dog from Aunt Alice's, and eight-piece chicken tender meal from BK, and a large grape icee from the café.
The group pushed two tables together and sat three on each side. On one side sat Cathie with Kon next to her and Haze next to Kon. Across from Haze was Marcus, next to Marcus was Keelia and Danny sat across from Cathie. (AN: Hope you can picture that all right).
"I feel so unhealthy watching you eat, Keelia. You must be a health nut." Cathie commented.
"Oh please, I only eat healthy every once in a while. My favorite food is a cheese steak fajita and I live off coffee." Keelia scoffed.
"My Dad and I aren't allowed to drink coffee, though Mom likes it a lot." Danny added, his mouth full of food.
"Not allowed, I know it is an acquired taste, but not allowed?" Keelia asked, confusion rampart in her tone.
Keelia glanced across the table to see matching looks or horror.
"It's not a pretty sight, trust me." Kon blurted out.
"Picture Speedy Gonzales on a fraggin' sugar high." Marcus suggested.
"Eep, that bad, but his father, too" Keelia asked?
"Same reason" Marcus replied.
Keelia took on an awed look and returned to her sub.
Suddenly, a tall, blonde-haired man with a bizarre symbol on his bare chest began screaming in the food court. Mall security tried to stop him but he seemed to magically suck the skin right off their faces. Many patrons vomited as they tried to run. Keelia narrowed her eyes at the symbol on his chest.
'So he finally came back, after all these years. Your old enemy has returned, Father.' She thought to herself.
