Hey Guys! So, this is my first fanfic! I'm really excited! I hope you like it! It's sort of set during the five year gap, Robin is still new; Nightwing just became the leader of the Team. Zatanna and Rocket haven't left yet and the ruse hasn't been formed. Artemis and Wally are still deciding if they should leave the hero life.

Disclaimer: If I owned Young Justice, would I be writing Fan fiction?

Chapter 1

Jokes and Memories

Nightwing called out toward his old mentors' protégé "Tim, it's the Joker. You think you and Bats can handle?"

Tim almost sounded offended. "No, I got it. Don't worry- I won't make the same mistakes-"He was cut off by a flashing holo-moniter in the center of the floor. It was Batman's face, and as he spoke, Tim could barely listen to words he was saying. "What? You're cannot be ser-never mind that. If you can't trust me to go on a mission with you, why should I care? How about I just stay on Patrol around the Cave! Clearly, I'm needed much more here." His reaction left Nightwing stunned; Batman however had disappeared off the screen to take on the Joker by himself.

"Going off in different directions, it's what Bats do." Batgirl said to Bumblebee as she took in Tim's extreme explosion. "It's really so unlike him to do that… Can't worry about that now though, can't send a boy to do a woman's job. Catch ya later Bee." And before Bumblebee could respond, Batgirl disappeared.

TIM'S POV

I cannot believe this. Are you kidding me? Really Bats, wow, thanks for letting me in on stuff. I've been the newest Robin for about four months now, and I was just told that I wasn't the second one, but the third? That's a real confidence-

"What is that?" I whisper pulling away from my thoughts. "Great, Rob, you're already talking to yourself."

There was some kind a rustle in the bushes, one that would be made by someone running for their lives. But, yet it was calm. Wow, oxymoron, moron, great Detective you are. I walked a couple steps through the bushes and into the deep forest covering Mt. Justice.

"Arrraw!" I hear, a girl. Definitely a girl. Maybe fourteen, fifteen at most, maybe that grunt was from a kick. But instead something hurled me back into the closest tree, and my back slammed across the tree bark. What in the world pushed back? Nothing sharp.

A girl emerged from the darkness of the trees. I took note of her beautifulness right away, long blonde hair, blue eyes, yet raggedy blue jeans and a t-shirt. Her hands were glowing bright blue, and with a weird motion of her hands, the water turned to ice. She moved her hands toward me, aimed the ice blades right at me.

"Uwah!" She grunts again, and the spears pin my slow reactive left arm to the tree.

"How are you? Who-What are you?" I stutter. My speech was impeached by her beauty, was that her power? Good, Robin get her talking so you can escape. I pulled on my sleeve. Nothing. I'm going nowhere.

"Ro-Robin?" The girl finally makes out. She lowers her fist, and her palms glows as the spear lifts from my now bruised wrist. "I'm so sorry; I didn't know where I was! And I saw you creep up, thought you where someone from Cadmus, or Lex Luthor, or-"

"Who are you?" I break in. I have no emotion in my voice; she is clearly fazed by it.

"Um," She closes her eyes and opens her palms "It's um, Hal." With a movement of her arms all the water from the ground surrounded her in a circle. "And I…"

TIM'S POV

"You brought her to the Cave? Tim! That's, it's… Someone you don't even know! How can you trust her? I'm, we're, so disappointed in you." Nightwing sighed and walked toward M'gann. "Can you…?" He motioned toward her.

"Yeah, just gimme a sec." M'gann's voice faded away as her eyes turned dark green and she began to dig deep into the intruders mind.

"M'gann! Stop, you'll hurt her!" Connor yelled, but he was too late. She was so fascinated by the girls past, that she couldn't stop looking through her memories.

M'GANNS POV

A young blonde girl, about six, is sitting on top of a stage surrounded with Pillars that looked like that they resembled something from a Roman castle. There's a man bowing to her, giving her a large blue orb. She looks shocked, takes the orb, and disappears.

The same girl, now recognized as whom we know as Hal, is older now. About eight she's wearing shiny metal armor, posing for a mural being painted on a long wall full of hieroglyphics. A younger boy, maybe four of five is sitting below her, holding a ball of water within his hands. She's staring at the sword in her hand, and pointing it at a sixty degree angle toward the sky.

Hal was now about ten, she was underground with four other people. They looked at her with dismay and frequently disregarded whatever she said. The five soldiers were dressed like generals, including Hal. Everyone but her looked at least sixty earth years. They looked like they were playing a game of chess, but somehow different.

"Ahhh!" I heard something plummet to the ground, but this was too big- I kept going.

Hal was crying furiously she looked like she was ice skating on water. There was the same boy with her during the mural painting holding onto her, crying also, who looked about eight. Clutching onto her neck, his eyes were closed, not strong enough to stop the tears. He looked back however, and saw an island covered in flames.

"Megan stop!" Connor yelled and shook her out of the daze she was in from taking in all the memories. "What have you done?" He had genuine horror in his voice, as he motioned to a spastic Hal on the floor of the cave screaming. I walked over to her. No, I didn't do that. I probably just triggered some bad memories of hers. Where was she from, why was she worshiped like a god, and who was on the burning island?

I was pulled away from my thoughts when Nightwing brought Hal to the infirmary and asked Zatanna to try and heal her. We needed to trust her just long enough for me to get answers.

Well, that was just the beginning. I've really imagined Hall to basically be a waterbender. I don't have any ships yet, so just tell me what you guys want! Sorry if M'gann comes off a little dark, do you guys want me to include Supermartian's break?
