Chapter 1 Salad Days/ April 5, 2023

Mount Justice

"You're gonna have to try harder than that! Honestly, I thought you were supposed to be fast here!"Eric smirked as he dodging Vincent's right swing. They were sparing in the training room while Heather, Tim, Evelyn, and Bart were watching them on the side lines.

Then team had grown a lot over the past few years. Superboy and Miss Martian were now the team's official den-parents. They finally got together after the light was defeated. Lagoon Boy-well- its Lagoon Man now, he took the break up pretty hard and ended up leaving the team. Soon after many of the other members, like Nightwing, Oracle, Batwoman, Mal, Bumblebee, Beast Man, Wondergirl, and Blue Beatle ended up leaving the gang as well. Some were on the Justice League now, but many of them ended up going solo.

Eric Fisher had joined the team about four years ago and goes by the nameTracker when in costume. He somewhat looks like Tim back when he was younger. He has the same build, same haircut, the only difference is that his hair is brown and his eyes have a green shade added to them. In all honesty, most people that know him aren't too surprised of how similar he is to Tim. He was his idol and somewhat a mentor for a time. Now Eric currently resides in the cave, but he is known to take off every now and then for extended periods of time. Only Tim knows where he goes and he won't say. It has to do with some sort of personal matter.

Tim is the new leader, by the way. He took up the role after Nightwing and has been doing a pretty decent job at it. The only problem is that he and Damian still have issues with one another. Ever since Damian started living with Bruce, he has been trying to do everything possible to prove to Batman that he is the worthy son and has attempted several times to kill Tim. Thankfully however, he hasn't tried to kill Tim in his sleep for over five months.

Then again, he hasn't had a chance. After his last attempt; Batman had Arianna, a young girl that he found a few years back, make sure that he goes home with her every night. Should the occasion comethat they couldn't go home, the two have to share a jointed room to make sure he doesn't try anything funny in the middle of the night. If he so much as makes a step outside his room without her permission, she will know and freeze him with a time spell in 0.2 seconds flat. She has to prepare the spell in advance, of course, but with all the practice Damian has been giving her, she's been getting really good at it.

"I am fast!" Vincent smiled, "I'm the fastest boy in the world!"

"Excuse me, that's my title." Bart raised a brow.

"For now," He chuckled. Vince is a big guy with pale blue eyes and really short light brown hair. He's tall and muscular, almost to the point you would be surprised that he's a speedster. He is the Flash's new Protégé. Wally found him about a year after Barry died. It was pretty hard on him, but having Vince and his family helped him get through it.

Before Wally found him, Vince grew up in foster care. He doesn't talk too much about his family, but he likes telling the story of how he got his powers. It all happened when he went out during a storm one day. He was going home when he came across a car accident that involved a few semis that were transporting chemicals for some company. Most of the drivers got out of their trucks, but one was still inside. Vince thought it was odd that no one was trying to get him out, but then he realized that they were afraid to get anywhere near the chemicals that had spilled on the road.

As much as Vince knew he should have just kept on walking and let the police handle it, he couldn't bring himself to leave the guy stuck like that. So he ran over to the crash, and dragged the man out of his truck, but just as that happen lightning struck the truck, then the gas and chemicals blew up.

When he woke up in the hospital a few weeks later and everything was slower. No, he was faster! He could sprint to school and back in .3 seconds flat. It wasn't long after that he ran away from his foster home and started to live as a hero for hire. Of course, he helped anyone he saw, but he always asked for whatever money they could spare for food and necessities.

Back in the present, Eric jumped up in the air and quickly brought down a kick on Vince's head, "Dude!" Vince raise his arms and blocked him. "Not the face, man!"

"Aw, come on! This is training!" Eric flipped backwards and performed a low kick which knocked Vince on his back. Then the digital screen on the floor brought up the word: "FAIL" right next to him in big bright red letters. Then before he could even get up, Eric pinned him down with his foot, "You got to be ready for when a bad guy actually does come up and try to hit you in the face, you know? I'm just preparing you for it."

"You have a point." Vince nodded. "But until then-" He grabbed Eric's foot and knocked him off balance.

Eric fell over next to him with his mouth open in surprise. Then the "FAIL" sign appeared next to him, too.

Then Vince used his super speed to get up and take a fighting stance over him, "-I don't want YOU trying to mess it up, got that?"

Eric looked at him all wide eyed and stunned for a second, as if he was surprised Turbo was able to knock him down. Then, he just smiled and raised his hands in surrender, "Sure thing, man. Sure thing."

"Alright, so are you guys done yet? Evelyn and I wanted to go a few rounds." One of the girls rolled her eyes.

That was Heather A.K.A Cherub; she was in her usual arms crossed pose. She's a tiny thing, barely over five feet and has no curves what so ever. She does have a pair of wings though. They sprout right out of her back. She also has medium length flaxen blonde that she likes to keep up in a ponytail in order to keep it out her blue eyes. She's rather cold towards others, which sometimes makes it hard to believe that she's half angel. No one knows too much about her except that she joined the team a few years ago and Hawkwoman took her in as her mentor.

"Aw, come on Heather." Vince smiled. "Let us have another go. We're almost done." Then, his smiled turned into a big wide smirk. "Besides, I know how much you like watching us go at each other. Or should I just say, watching me."

"In your dreams," she scoffed.

"Every night, babe." He winked at her.

"Oh, God." Heather face-palmed. The others just laughed.

"Oh, just kiss already." Evelyn teased, but the nephilim didn't find this funny at all. She looked absolutely livid.

Evelyn is beautiful. She has the looks, the body, dazzling gray eyes, all tied in with her silver highlights and jet black hair. No one on the knows her full story, except that Nightwing was the one who took her in. Now she lives in the cave with the majority of the team.

"Gladly!" Turbo zoomed over to Heather only to have her perform the same low kick that Eric did and knock him on his behind.

"Not in this life time." She glared.

"Alright guys enough. Let the girls have their turn." Tim smiled and took Evelyn into his arms from behind. The two had been dating for three months now. "And Heather, help Vince up, please. I don't need him bleeding on the good floor."

"Alright," Heather groaned and did as requested.

"Hey,why don't we go outside to the beach? The others are out there," Bart suggested, "Well, most of them anyway."

"Sure, I guess." Heather shrugged. "I could use some fresh air. And some time to stretch my wings."

"Yes you do." Vince smiled at her, she just rolled her eyes. "Are you gonna finally wear that blue bikini I bought you?"

"Are you gonna stop hitting on me every few seconds?"

Vince kept his smile, but shook his head. "Not a chance."

"Then no, I'm not wearing the bikini." she scoffed.

"Come guys! You two can flirt later! This is so crash! Let's get out of here!" He zoomed out of the room.

"Wait for me!" Vince followed closely behind him. The others just calmly walked back to their rooms and changed into their bathing suits.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬~ஜ۩۞۩ஜ~▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

It was a hot day out and nearly half the team was already out on the beach. The majority were in the shallow water playing volleyball, while the others were out of the water on the beach making sand castles.

"It's such a nice day out." Arianna smiled as she floated in the water with her long dark brown hair spread around her head, almost crowning it. "Don't you think Damian?" Her honey eyes flashed over to the boy. As always, he was close by. Damian was 15 now, but you would think he was older. He's tall, almost 6"0' with a lot of lean muscle all over his body. He actually looked like a younger version of Bruce.

Batman and Tim found Arianna, a.k.a Charm, some time ago. She was very pretty and had a thin little curvy body that stood at about 5"2'. Not too many people know what happen to her, but somehow she got Batman to agree to let her stay with him. She's one of the stronger members of the team due to her immense magical abilities, but she is also the weakest. Batman was going to make her another Robin, but he soon discovered that her body is very fragile, almost too fragile. It happened when Damian took a swing at her during one of his temper tantrums a few years back and she ended up with two fractured ribs. When Bruce took her to the hospital, the doctors told him that symptoms indicated that she had some form of Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or otherwise known as Brittle Bone Disease. Although for some reason, all her blood work and tests say otherwise. Needless to say, Damian felt really bad afterwards. So Batman had Damian make up for it by having him look out for her.

It was only by chance that they found out that she had a gift for the mystic arts. Dick, Zatanna and a few other former members of the team came over to help Tim pack and move out of the manor. Damian was driving him crazy. Then, as soon as Zatanna laid eyes on Arianna, she felt her power and told Batman about it. Not long after Zatanna took her as her Protégé, but she still lives at Wayne Manor.

"It's adequate, I suppose." He nodded.

"Is that your way of saying yes?" She cocked a brow.

"What do you think?" His gaze shifted to her.

"I think it's a yes." She grinned.

Damian's mouth curved upward a bit, letting a smile appear on his face.

"Hey! Ninja boy and magic girl!" One of the guys called over."You guys what to play volleyball with us?"

It was Tom A.K.A. Cold Wolf. He had a rather thin body which barely stood over Arianna's height. Damian picks on him saying he looks like a girl because of how long his dark brown hair is, but then Arianna defends him by transforming Damian's clothes into a dress and he shuts up.

He grew up in Sweden with his parents until one day Ice found him. Like most members of the team, he didn't feel like telling his story about how he ended up there on the team. He's been living at the cave for about four years now. He's a good guy; nice and loyal as can be, almost like a dog. Then again, he is one. Well, part at least. He's an ice werewolf. The tiny guy you see here can change into a giant raving half beast and can freeze practically anything he lays his eyes on.

"Sure,count me in." Damian nodded.

Arianna beamed, "Me-"

"No," Damian cut her off.

"What'd you say?" Tom shouted. He didn't quite catch the last part. It looked as if Damian was saying something to Arianna, but he could make it out.

"Excuse me?" Arianna knitted her brows together.

"You're not playing," Damian replied firmly.

"Like hell I'm not! You're not the boss of me!" she snapped. She hated it when Damian got like this. Whenever he felt like something would get Arianna hurt, like sports or certain types of missions, he would try to stop her from participating. Granted she was happy that he cared, but being treated like a little kid by a kid drove her crazy. She was hisbabysitter for crying out loud. Not the other way around! No matter what Batman says.

"I'm still not going to let you play," He stated firmly, not backing down.

"I'm older than you!" She argued.

"By two years!" He started to shout. "That doesn't matter. I'm bigger than you, it's my job to make sure to go home in one piece and you will do what I say! Got it?"

Her jaw dropped. "I can't believe you!"

"What?" Damian started to look confused. Had he said something wrong?

All the color went to Arianna's face and she turned bright red, "Teg tuo fo ym ecaf!" she screamed and an unseen force shoved him backwards into the water. "Jerk!" She yelled and she stormed off.

"Arianna! Wait!" Damian tried to get up, but he couldn't seem to find his footing. "Damn it!"

"You okay?" Tom asked as she walked by, she could feel everyone eyes on her back when she walked on past them.

"Just peachy," She grumbled. Then just as she started to make her way inside, the others from the training room were coming out.

"Arianna!" A flirtatious smirk came across Eric's face, "Babe, what's up?"

"Go away, Eric. I'm not in the mood for you," She snapped at him and forced her way through the group and went inside.

"What was that about?" Evelyn cocked a brow.

"I got an idea." Tim's gaze fell on Damian. The boy was stomping out of the salt water. "What'd you do?"

"Nothing," he growled and continued off to the group playing volleyball.

Once he got out of earshot Evelyn put her hand on Tim's shoulder. "Do you want me to talk to him?"

He shook his head. "No, I will, but not right now." He paused, "Arianna on the other hand-"

"What's going on?" The group spun around to find Conner and Miss Martian behind them.

"Arianna and Damian had another fight. Now Arianna's all mad and stormed inside."

"Wow…" M'gann gasped. "What me to go handle it?"

"Would you please?"

"Sure, no problem." She nodded and flew inside.

"Well at least that's covered." Vince smiled. "Now come on! Let's go play ball!" He zoomed down the beach to the players.

"Right behind you, big guy!" Bart sped after him.

"Those two…" Heather shook her head.

"Aw come on Heather! Let's just go have a little fun!" Eric patted her on the back.

"Fine." She sighed and the three followed after the speedsters.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬~ஜ۩۞۩ஜ~▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

The volleyball group split up into two teams. On one side was Tom, Damian, Samantha, Bart, Mischa, and Spencer. On the other, Cameron, Eric, Vincent, Tim, Heather, and Evelyn. It was six on six, with Conner as the referee.

"You going down, Drake." Damian narrowed his eyes.

"Whatever you say, baby bird!" Tim smirked, which only made Damian's glare scarier.

"Remember guys, Keep it clean," Conner shouted to the two groups. "Now let's play!"

"Wait!" Tom cried. "Time out! Does anyone have a phone? Or know what time it is?"

Heather looked up in the sky. "About 4:30. Why?"

"4:30! Crap I'm gonna be late!" He ran over to his stuff and quickly grabbed his things and ran inside.

"What was that about?" She cocked a brow.

"The guy has a date." Bart smiled.

Then,Vince popped up behind him and mouthed to Heather, 'Call me!" while holding his hand close to his ear as if it was a phone.

Everyone laughed, but Heather just scrunched up face and shook her head."No."
