First things first. Disclaimer: I do not own nor am associated with DC Comics or Cartoon Network in any way. The characters used in this story, aside from my original characters, belong to DC Comics and I have no claim to them. I am simply a fan writing a story for one of my favorite shows.
Okay, so I'm a nerd and total DC comic (especially Batman) junkie. So when I saw the commercial for Young Justice I had to start watching it. And yes this is going to be a Superboy/Conner Kent and OOC pairing. I do not support Miss Martian and Superboy because it is like the Starfire and Robin pairing from Teen Titan which I didn't like because she was such a dunce and so is Miss Martian. No offense to anyone I think she's a great character for the team but I don't like her for Superboy. On a side note I am a fan of the Kid Flash and Artemis pairing because we all know that they're perfect for each other. Come on admit it. So be warned that there will be a slight Kid Flash and Artemis pairing in this. And then a bunch of girls will just flirt with Aqualad who is secretly pissed that his friend stole his girlfriend, though that girl is perfect for Garth. Miss Martian is alone, and will most likely become the future cat lady in my story. So yeah.
Back on topic, updates will be slow but I will make them constant. Hopefully. I'm reading a Batman FanFic which has epic long posts and I want to try that out so these posts will take a while. I write this part before I write the story so I'm currently aiming for about 6,000 words/twelve pages on a Microsoft word document. Wish me luck. I will work on this a lot in the next week which is spring break so it may get done really fast but unless I'm not in school, I attend high school two semesters and have college the third semester, don't expect fast chapters.
The Perspective starts with Robin but I shift. Usually you will know whose perspective because I'll define it in the first few sentences. Other than that, all you need to know is that I italicize thoughts but will also define them as thoughts because I also italicize words that are said with heavy conviction or are important or are titles of things. Also when Miss Martian/Megan reads minds the thoughts she reads will be italicized.
This is rated T for violence, implications of sex/sexual activities, language, and basically everything else that goes on with stupid teenagers and their choices. You're big kids suck it up and grow a pair, if you don't like it then don't read it and complain to me because I don't give a shit. Don't get me wrong I love you guys but I don't want to hear it. Okay so I've ranted long enough. But if you could look for any errors in my writing please tell me and I will edit the text and fix it. Thanks and enjoy.

Introduction Part I
Young Justice Members
x-x
This time they were certain that Bruce had gone completely batty. Robin or rather Dick Grayson stared at his mentor and father in disbelief. There new mission was absurd. Completely and totally absurd. But there was no question in his head that Bruce was serious, his face and costume said it all. Wally groaned and Megan squealed but there was no reaction from the rest they all just stood there hoping that Bruce would start laughing and that this would be a joke. Yeah, fat chance of that happening.
They were being sent to infiltrate a high school.
A FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL!
Sure it was one of those elite boarding schools that one had to have strong connections in private places to get in to. But still it was just a high school, it wasn't like Cobra or Shadow was lurking in gym class or in the library stacks. It just wasn't worth their time or their skills. Dick wasn't even in high school, he had another year before that place would condemn him; not that he ever really went to school. As long as he passed his tests he didn't have to show up. The influence that Wayne family had over Gotham was astounding. But even still, high school? Speedy was right, they were just trying to keep them busy. They weren't sidekicks so they deserved a real mission but this time he wasn't going to be the one to mention it. But if someone else, Wally, were to have an outburst than he would support it.
"Any questions?" Bruce addressed them, he may have sounded open for criticism but he wasn't. The question was just a formality to tell the kids that there should be no questions.
"Yeah!" Wally exclaimed right on schedule, really that guy was way too predictable, "Like, when are we going to get a real mission again. I mean sure we fu-screwed up the last one, but hey at least nothing got blown up!" There was a pause as everyone looked at him, "Much," a nervous chuckle followed. The last mission had been a total disaster. They had to face The Mad Hatter, one of Batman's adversaries. He broke into one of the research labs, currently studying the human psyche, at Wayne industries and stole a few pieces of information. The Justice League was currently trying to figure out which one he actually wanted since none of the pieces of information had anything to do with each other than the fact that they were all on something to do with the psyche, one was even a cookie recipe that was supposed to increase brain function. But needless to say the mission was a total and complete disaster. How many screw-ups could happen in one night? Answer; twenty eight to be exact and seventeen of them were Wally's fault, big shocker.
"Yeah but what you ended up blowing up was the research facility we were supposed to be protecting,"Artemis piped up her eyebrows narrowed and her words were as sharp as her arrowheads. It was so painstakingly obvious that she liked Wally in that weird "I hate him so much but find him oddly attractive" way. To cover it up even more she was convincing herself that she was attracted to Superboy who already had a secret admirer in Miss Martian. Which the entire situation of that was a little too much like Midsummer's Night Dream. You know everyone falling in love with the wrong person. Dick was glad that he didn't have to deal with that on any level whatsoever. He was too young and too focused on training, fighting bad guys, and not losing any of his circus skills.
Wally flushed red with embarrassment, "Well at least I didn't set off the motion sensors!" He countered still blushing from one oversized ear to oversized ear. It was Artemis's turn to blush now as the two began the almost daily fight over who was the worst sidekick. Honestly they both sucked in Dick's opinion but Wally was no doubt the worst of all of them. There was not one mission that Wally didn't manage to mess up or at least put in jeopardy.
"It doesn't matter whose fault it was," Kaldur spoke in his calm and commanding tone that shut the couple up, "We're a team, if one of us messes up we all do. That's how it works." Kaldur always had a way of making everyone listen despite the fact that Dick would have been a far better leader in his person opinion. "What was the name of the school again?" He asked the superior.
"Montgomery Academy for Gifted Youths, it's located on an island in the south Atlantic, the island is small enough that it wouldn't be on any major map but it is also privately owned and thus the owner chose to keep the island a secret from the major public," Batman responded, the way he said the name of the school didn't sound any different to the others but to Dick who lived with the man he recognized the hidden fury at the words.
Dick looked at Bruce; there was something about this school that didn't sit well. One; the fact that it felt as though they were actually being sent away to school to learn. And two; that Bruce was treating this like a mission. "Why are we going to the school Batman?" He asked looking up at his mentor whose eyes met his own.
Bruce reached over to the keyboard and typed a few things and then four girls appeared on the screen. All of them were extremely pretty and each had a tattoo on their left cheek. Each of them were smiling for the picture and their features were rather similar in the way that they were all very thin, well put together, and muscled. All four of the girls of were blond and looked like they could be sisters; the shade of blonde was different for each of the girls but still they looked like clones. "One of these girls is a fate; they're a rare type of person with the ability to see into the future. If their visions are not set they will literally see every major possibility. We were able to narrow the eleven girls down to just these four." Dick had studied up some on the fates, he knew that they had the ability to plant ideas in one's mind like a form of mind control but without the real control part, they were also beautiful and athletic which applied to their charm. Literal charm, they could charm people into almost anything.
Something clicked inside of Dick's head; eleven girls? Taking another look at the girls and their muscles. There was something so familiar about the way those muscles were formed that made him realize something. He knew what those girls did to get those muscles. "Cheerleaders? We're researching cheerleaders?" This immediately made Wally perk up at the idea of getting closer to the cheerleaders. "Might as well only send three of us, Wally has no chance with the cheerleaders, I'm too young, and Megan will never be able to keep up with those girls," Dick admitted, earning a glare from Wally and Megan looked a little sad but it was true. Although many guys and girls refused to admit that cheerleading is a sport being the gymnast that he was he understood that it was a very serious and strenuous sport that required muscles that most people never used.
"You will all be going," Bruce said sending a stern look to Dick basically telling him to shut his mouth before he made an even bigger ass of himself not that that was even possible. "Your job is to figure out which one of these girls is the fate, assess what is going on at this school, and then bring her back here," It was a simple order but the situation when one was to really take a look at it was much more complicated than it seemed. Obviously the fate wouldn't be walking around with a sign but they would be able to figure out who she was hopefully. But what was really worrying him was having to infiltrate the school and figure out what was going on. What kind of school, on a private island, kept a fate there as a cheerleader? Answer; the fake kind that used the school as a front for something much bigger. One thing was for sure, this mission was going to be interesting. "You leave immediately, get everything you require. Robin you will be going by the name Jason and Superboy you will be going by the name Scott,"[1] Dick hated not being able to tell his identity to his friend but Bruce didn't like to let people into his life. But then again it was better than not having one at all. "Disperse." Not only were the kids given permission to leave but Bruce did as well.
Robin was on his way to change, as were the rest of the team when Wally leaned over, "So, your real name is Jason huh." Dick laughed, Wally may have been a genius with science but when it came to simple things the guy was an idiot.
"Batman isn't stupid enough to actually have me go by my real name. So no, my name is not Jason," Dick told his long time friend.
Wally sighed and rubbed his head, "One day I will figure out what your real name is. I mean really, it sucks that you can't even tell us your real name, I mean don't you get sick of being called Robin all the time Robs?"
"Not really, and I'm not always called Robin. You call me Robs after all," This little remark earned him another glare since he had twisted the point of Wally's statement. Wally grumbled something under his breath that sounded somewhat like the word asshole. Wally had always been a sore loser.
Dick's so called room was relatively empty; all that he kept were clothes and a few hygiene items. Since he didn't actually live in the building there was no need to make the room personal or homey. The room was just where he kept his clothes when he needed to change from Dick Grayson, in sunglasses, to Robin. The only piece of furniture in the room was a small bed for when he was too tired to make it back to Wayne Manor. Needless to say he didn't sleep there often, his stamina allowed him to fight for long periods of time without falling asleep. Besides this team rarely did night missions so they never kept him up long enough to actually get tired.
He took off his green hoodie and hung it up immediately, though the Wayne family had Alfred employed to take of things like that but before moving into the Manor Dick was part of the circus and was used to throwing his things on the floor when changing but Alfred had taught him that it mattered that his clothes look good when he left the house since the paparazzi stalked him just as much as they did Bruce. His white v-neck followed quickly and then his blue jeans. He toed off his shoes before actually getting into the brightly colored costume. The black and red spandex suit was tighter than any glove, even tighter than the tech gloves he wore. He was dressed in a flash; he was always in the uniform faster than he was able to get out of it. There was something about spandex when you have five minutes before school started and you just got in from fighting the Joker and his creepy girlfriend and the spandex is glued to your skin by sweat. Yeah it wasn't a fun way to start the day.
As Dick walked down to the dock to get on the Biojet his cape fluttered from side to side. At first Dick didn't want a cape because he thought they were kind of girly, despite the fact that Bruce wore one when he was Batman. But once he got the cape he grew to like the way it flowed with he jumped from roof to roof. He still remembered after he first got the cape and pretended that it was a pair of bat wings and he flapped around like the little creature that had been living in the Cave for generations. He could hardly believe that was five years ago, it seemed much longer with all that had happened in that time.
He touched his face, the mask formed to every muscle movement and never fell off but he sort of hated the mask. Being raised in the circus he was used to showing off to the hundreds of people that came to see the Flying Grayson's as they performed their acrobatics and they cheered his name and his parent's names. It was a thrill to have everyone looking up at him and knowing that it was him doing those amazing things. Sure people loved Robin the Boy Wonder but they didn't know who he was beyond that little black mask. But even more they didn't care who he was without the mask, they wanted a hero not a thirteen year old with a sad life story.
In the dock sat the large red jet, it was already morphed from the egg shaped blob into the jet form with the hatch open. Miss Martian was already inside with Superboy; neither of them really had to change. Megan did that whole morphing her bio clothes into her costume and Superboy just didn't care since he didn't have an alter ego to hide like the rest of them of them did. Actually both of them didn't have to worry about hiding who they really were, Superboy could pass as a normal kid but since he didn't have a family to force him to go to high school and pretend to be normal and Megan was green so... Yeah people would figure out something was up with that.
Wally was there next, true to his name he was there in a flash. It was weird how he did that, appearing out of nowhere with that speed of his. Dick had to admit he was a little jealous of all of the other's superpowers, that was why it was nice to have Artemis around. Those two were both human down to the core, no powers just skills and intelligence. Artemis and Kaldur walked on to the jet together, Wally's eyes narrowed just a bit. Really, that guy just needed to kiss her and get rid of all that tension before he imploded. Though, the sight would be pretty amusing. Megan started the jet once everyone was sitting and strapped in.

Megan
x-x
Megan was so excited to attend a real earth high school, and they were supposed to get close to the cheerleaders. From all the human TV that she watched she knew that being a cheerleader meant you were on top of the food chain, and every cheerleader was dating a member of the football team. They were a really rare variation of the human species; she couldn't wait to observe them in person. Perhaps she could even befriend one, oh that would be the coolest. She was practically trembling from her excitement. But Robins words were still in her mind "...and Megan will never be able to keep up with those girls," what had he meant? Was it because she was from another planet and their culture difference would get in the way? But Wally was from Earth and Robin still doubted his ability to get close to the girls. It seemed like it would never add up. Earth had such strange cultural rules, especially for high school. Even though the children were in the same age group they dispersed into different types of people, much like teams. Some of the groups were defined by clothing, or classes, or by extracurricular activities instead of by their social class.
The Jet was on its way to Florida, they'd stop in Miami to get on a normal plane to go to school. Plus they'd have to get changed into this schools uniform and grab some of the other clothes that they'd use to blend in. During their stay at the school Megan would have to maintain a human colored skin tone. She didn't know how long she'd be able to do so but she'd have to try to keep it up so they wouldn't be found out. She was so excited, but also curious about how they were supposed to get the fate off of the island if the biojet was left in Florida. But the place was surrounded by water so maybe Kaldur had a plan. But first they had to figure which of the four girls was the fate.
For the most part the flight wasn't too bad, sure Wally was loud and constantly fighting with Artemis. Ever since the two of them met they'd been fighting over just about everything but lately it seemed like there was more to their relationship, after the whole memory loss thing in the desert they'd been acting different around each other. Megan couldn't pretend she wasn't happy that Artemis was paying more attention to Wally after all that meant that she wasn't going after Superboy anymore. She cast a glance at the boy, he was staring out the window with those blue smoldering eyes. He was so... Perfect. Suddenly the jet dropped in altitude and veered off to the right. "Sorry!" She squeaked focusing on flying instead of on her crush. "Hello Megan," She said slapping her forehead as she spoke, "focus!" The team looked at her like that should be an obvious thing to do while she was flying the plane. A blush spread across her cheeks sometimes she felt like such a dunce around her friends.
The biojet landed at the airport smoothly, well pretty smooth. Megan lost focus near the end when Superboy stood up and stretched and all of his many muscles sort of flexed simultaneously she just couldn't not look. So she swerved a little bit before Superboy almost fell on the floor and she got her focus back. These little mistakes while flying were becoming more frequent, maybe it was because Superboy may have liked her back. After all they were getting closer all the time since they both lived in Mount Justice. In a roundabout way they lived together. She could have squealed at the thought.
Red Tornado was waiting for them outside, he had six suitcases. The robot had backpacks hanging off his arms like they were hangers. "Each of you will change and then get on the plane. I understand that Batman has already give you names Jason and Scott," Robin nodded immediately but Superboy didn't react as fast, it would probably take him longer to actually respond to the name since he wasn't used to having more than one. Superboy had turned down all of Megan's offers to find him an Earth name, she didn't know why since he had refused to let her read his mind. Ever. Sometimes she thought she was making progress and then other times. Not so much. "Ladies to the left, gentlemen to the right. You flight leaves in ten."
The boys walked off taking their suitcases and backpacks. Artemis was staring into the bag with a look on her face that was a mix of horror and anger. "There's no way I'm wearing that," She said, her voice was hitting a pitch that displayed hostility in humans.
"It is a requirement of the mission. This school has strict rules. You must wear their uniform," Red Tornado was as structured as always, it was probably in his programming to be that way. All of this talk of the mysterious uniform made Megan curious she opened up her backpack which was appropriately pink. There were books inside and a few empty binders but there wasn't a uniform.
She looked up at Tornado, "Why don't I have a uniform?"
"I figured you would simply morph your clothing into the uniform instead of actually having one," He reasoned.
"Of course," She felt a little dumb for not realizing that's why but then again it would have been nice to actually get the uniform and be able to keep it forever. "Hello Megan." She slapped herself again, that place was staring to hurt after all the times she hit it. Then the excitement of being able to see what this uniform would look like over took her. "Come on, I want to see what the uniform looks like!" Megan grabbed Artemis's arm and dragged her off to the designated changing room.
Megan was too excited to be careful, she pushed Artemis into one of the stalls to change. She could hear the blonde grumbling about the uniform from behind the door. She rocked back and forth on her heels humming some song she heard on the radio she believed the band was called Ready Set Go and the song was Like Whoa[2]. It was one of those songs that got stuck in one's head and no matter how many songs you listened to after that you would find yourself humming or whistling or singing along to it later. "I'm done," Artemis's voice, sounding more aggravated than before, traveled over before the door opened, "I hate skirts." Artemis still had her hair up in a pony tail but she wasn't dressed in her green costume anymore. She now wore a short black skirt ending at mid-thigh, a white button up dress shirt, a thin black tie, and a black blazer with the phoenix crest on the right breast. Megan closed her eyes and envisioned herself wearing the exact same uniform. When she opened her eyes she couldn't help but squeal with delight. She loved the way it fit and the way it felt on her skin. The uniform looked exactly like Artemis's which was, of course, the point of a uniform. Even down to the shoes, black canvas sneakers, somehow that didn't seem right.
"Are these really the shoes that go with the uniform?" She asked wiggling her feet in the strange shoes.
The blonde sighed and reached into her bag pulling out a pair of black shiny shoes with straps, they had a bit of a platform to them but not much and the heel was slightly larger than the little platform it had. They must have been polished recently. Closing her eyes again Megan focused on the shoes, she felt them immediately they were hard but very sturdy. She liked them, they would be perfect and this way she would fit in. Megan opened her eyes and looked in the mirror, the uniform was neatly pressed, her red hair was just right, and she skin... Was still green. She really hoped she could do this, she focused on her skin. Trying to turn ones skin from bright green to a pale peach was not the easiest thing to do. She could feel the cells in her skin morphing, the sensation was on the verge of being painful but not a real pain at its level of intensity more like a dull prickling on every inch of her skin. Her skin was pale when she opened her eyes, fleshy and pink and human. An idiotically happy smile spread across her lips, she began spinning around and then began levitating as she spun. "I've never seen anyone so happy about wearing a uniform. Hell, I've never seen anyone happy about wearing a uniform." Artemis said absently as she picked at the edge of the skirt. "I hate skirts," She repeated.
"Why they're so girly and comfortable," Artemis rolled her eyes ignoring Megan as she headed out of the changing area with her bag over her shoulder and the suit case dragging behind her. Megan followed skipping with her bag on her back and her suitcase levitating after her. The boys were already outside in their uniform, the only differences were that they had pants and dress shoes, but only two of them wore the shoes. Wally was wearing Nike sneakers and it looked like Superboy was still wearing his combat boots underneath his pants. He was such a rebel.
"Come on our flight is leaving in less than two minutes," Robin was still the same, he was wearing sunglasses and hiding who he really was. If Megan really wanted to know what his name was she could easily read his mind and memories to find out what it was. But she learned early on that this was not acceptable on Earth since most did not have the ability to read minds or communicate through them. The group diverted their attention for only a second to get out their tickets and when they looked back Robin was once again gone. It was creepy that a human could do a form of teleportation, although Robin had tried convincing her that it was simply because he could move silently and had gymnastics training but she wasn't convinced. She made more noise levitating in her camouflage mode than he did while just disappearing.
By the time they reached the plane Robin was already buckled up in his seat and cast them a look like "What took you so long?" or maybe she was simply reading his mind. A woman came out from the captain quarters, she was neatly dressed in a royal blue dress with a pair of gold wings pinned to her breast. [3] Seeing the kids still standing around she quickly ushered them into their seats before giving them their safety instructions for the flight. The flight would only last a little more than two hours, if they had able to take the jet it wouldn't have taken more than one, so they all settled in. Robin had his laptop out as soon as the captain gave the okay, Aqualad was reading a book, and Wally had started a game of BS with Artemis and Megan.
Everyone but Megan couldn't wait to get this mission over with.
O-O
[1] Yes this is an irony. For any of those that don't know Jason is the name of the third Robin or it may have been the fourth but I'm pretty sure he was the third. The second Robin is named Tim.
[2] "Love Like Woe" by The Ready Set. I thought it would seem reasonable since she's not from earth to forget the actual names of the songs and bands.
[3] The gold wings are a little pin that all flight attendants wear. Don't know why and I don't really care but they do. I just felt I should clarify that she didn't have actual wings coming out of her breast in the shade of gold.
O-O
So what did you think? Any comments, concerns, complaints (I'm mainly looking for the first but hey, a review is a review) just review and I will read them. Also any mistakes please tell me, I'm not using an editor simply because I don't Alyssa or Bryce anywhere near my Fanfiction account. Those stalkers. Also if you want to see any particular villains or whatever just tell me. I mainly know about Batman villains because that's my favorite so just give me the villains name and the superhero that usually fights them and I will look into the character. Also any Ooc villains that people come up with and want to me to use I would be happy to use them.
Silver will be officially introduced next time, just so you know it will start out in her perspective and will show the Junior Justice Leaguers arriving, sort of. Details are still the process of being created.
So I love music (this is my area to rant so let me) and I like to think of theme songs for characters that I make up and currently Silver's theme song is "Black Sheep" by Metric but with vocals from Brie Larson. This is a song from Scott Pilgrim VS the World sung by Envy (Larson) with her fake band Clash at Demonhead. I'm not so sure about the other people though... So any song ideas for the Junior Justice League kids? Once again tell me and I will mention it next time in my rant of ranty-ness. Ranty-ness is so a word by the way.
First to comment will have a paragraph dedicated to them in the next chapter, I'm not joking. I will love you forever and I will look for your comments at all times because you will be special like rainbow sprinkle cookies with a half inch thick layer of pink buttercream frosting. Yum, I may eat you now. But probably not because I'm a vegetarian and eating people is illegal. (On a side note so is my character.)
Okay before I go any deeper into the story I'm going to take some artistic liberties in this story so bare with me. I will stick to the basic storyline of all the characters to a certain degree; I will try to stay as close as possible. For example, I'm going to have Black Canary already married to Green Arrow and having Roy (Speedy #1/Red Arrow) already having left his foster father. I get that this wouldn't have happened yet (other than Roy leaving) but I want it to be that way. Also I'm not sure if I will have it being so that Barbara is a part of the Bat team yet. And yes I do know that Barbara becomes a psychic when she becomes Oracle and no I don't care.
And on this last note I will shut up and start to work on chapter two. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU TO... TheAlchemist'sDaughter and AmberSpirit who made me write a long chapter also if you guys end up ever looking at this for some reason, UPDATE SOON! I'm dying for a new chapter to Boy in the Manor, but even if you don't post soon I still love you two just because you're epic.
Love the Bambooatarian
