1. Note that this does take place a little bit further in time than my other fanfic, but it still ties into it.
2. And like the show and my other story, I'm going a for a family sort of feeling among the team, so try not to get mad if I put in some interaction between characters to make their relationships deeper.
3. As for the pairings, I'll put them in at the bottom of the chapter. You might or might not be disappointed with them, but I'm okay with that. :D
[A Secret Lab Underground, present time]
"Kid, I need you to cover me!" A boy in a mask and red outfit yelled as he tried to hack open a door.
"Yeah, yeah I hear you!" A yellow blur zoomed by, knocking away several little imp-like monsters.
"Arrowette, Aqualad, Wonder Girl, how're you guys holding up?" He asked frantically as he typed away at a hologram keyboard on his wrist.
"Holding up, but more just keep coming!" A blonde haired girl who was dressed similarly to Wonder Woman used her lasso to fling a group of the little monsters into the wall.
"At rate they'll overcome us with numbers if we don't get that door open!" Aqualad shouted as he cut down another Genomorph with his hydro swords.
"Let's go on a mission you guys. It'll impress the League you guys. Yeah, great idea Robin!" Arrowette sarcastically retorted as she fired another arrow.
Robin growled as he focused on the little blue screen in front of him. How could a simple mission like this take a turn for the worst? This is what Tim Drake asked himself as he thought back to the earlier events of the day.
[Gotham City, earlier that day]
For once, things were peaceful in the dark toned city. Since it was Summer time, people were out doing summer activities, like going to the park and a barbeque.
Kids and their dogs were running across the field. Parents were talking to each other, enjoying the sounds and smells the grill was putting out.
The time of peace was suddenly interrupted when the hot summer air turned cold. People began to run and scream as ice started covering the park.
In walked Mr. Freeze, wearing a large suit and equipped with a large freeze ray on his back. "Look at all these families." He said to himself loudly.
"My family has activities planned for today as well." He pointed his gun at a bystander who was frozen in fear. Before he could pull the trigger, though; a batarang flew through the air and hit his gun. This made the tall man stumble a bit.
"Batman, I've been expecting you." He turned around only to see no one there. He only heard a boy's laughter before someone landed on top of him, forcing him to stumble to the ground.
Looking up, he saw that it was Robin.
As Robin landed, he flung to more batarangs that crack Freeze's glass dome.
"Ah, so Batman sends the Boy Wonder to do his dirty work. Frankly, I'm a little hurt."
"Great, but I'm kinda in a hurry here!" Robin complained.
"Kids these days, always in such a rush." Freeze smirked, getting ready to freeze the boy.
"Wasn't talking to you!" Robin called out again, making the ice villain look back.
As he did, a large shadow loomed over him. He only saw Batman's fist pierce glass just before going dark.
[Star City]
Icicle Jr. was terrorizing the people trying to get over the Star City Bridge. He laughed psychotically as he threw cars aside and even over the bridge.
"Come on people! You need to CHILL out!" He laughed some more, just before an arrow lodged itself into his icy skin, suddenly more arrows hit the ground at his feet. In the split second of his confusion, all of the arrows simultaneously exploded, disorienting him for the moment.
High up on one of the support pillars of the bridge stood a man and a young girl. The man was dressed up in green, a quiver attached to his back and an arrow nocked to his bow. The girl wore a red outfit similar to what the man wore, also being equipped with a bow and quiver full of arrows.
"Come on Oliver! We need to hurry up, I don't have time for this!" The girl, Arrowette, exclaimed while running down the giant wire.
Icicle Jr. was now back on his feet and firing shards of ice at the two archers from his hands.
"Geez, take it easy kid! We'll make it in time. When have I ever let you down?" Green Arrow asked as he fired another arrow.
"Do I even need to answer that?" She asked as she slid down the wire.
Ducking under another shard of ice, Arrowette jumped off the wire and fired a fist arrow, knocking the ice villain out COLD!
As both archers landed, the police were finally able to move in and apprehend the criminal, cuffing him and moving him into a special SWAT truck.
"Can we go now? I can't wait any longer!" The girl grinned, her impatience getting the best of her.
"Alright, alright, just hold your horses. We can go now." Green Arrow chuckled as the two grappled away from the bridge.
[Pearl Harbor]
Aquaman and his protégé, Aqualad, were handling a call that was sent out to the League about Killer Frost vandalizing Pearl Harbor. At the moment, the fight was taking place on the front of an old warship, and neither Atlanteans could get close to Frost with her ice powers.
"What, you're not excited about today?" Aquaman asked as he jumped out of the way of Killer Frost's ice blast.
"Right now I'm more focused on the issue at hand, my king." Aqualad stated calmly as he rushed Frost.
The King of Atlantis found himself suddenly being frozen, but that was just the opening the Calvin needed to strike.
Pulling out his hydroswords, he block a blast of ice from Frost, completely encasing both of his hands in ice. Before Frost knew it, she was knocked out with her own ice.
Arthur walked over to his sidekick, putting a congratulating hand on his shoulder.
Kaldur gave a small smile, before nodding. "Yes, my king. I am very excited about today."
[Gateway City]
Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl were also handling a call that was sent to the League. Apparently Minister Blizzard had escaped prison and was now trying to put the entire city on ice.
"Seriously, you're like my grandfather's age and you're still doing this?" Cassie Sandsmark quipped as her and Diana advanced on him.
"Doesn't this ever, ya know, get old?"
Minister Blizzard dual wielded two freeze guns, firing at both heroines at the same time. He growled at not being able to hit either one.
"You should learn to respect your elders little missy!" The old man finally hit his mark, freezing the girl's leg.
Being immobilized, Wonder Girl could only watch as the freeze blast came at her, but Wonder Woman jumped in front of her at the last second. Using her gauntlets, the amazon princess was able to block the blast.
Taking advantage of Minister Blizzard's attention on Diana, Cassie broke the ice holding her leg and advanced towards the ice villain, pulling out her own mystical lasso.
"I don't know about you old man, but today is a big day for me!" She threw the lasso around the man, rendering him immobile and making him drop his weapons.
"And I'm not about to let you rain on it!" Her lasso let out a powerful electrical current that was powered by Zeus himself, shocking Minister Blizzard into unconsciousness.
Calling her lasso back and rolling it up, Cassie heard Diana walking over to her.
"Though you were a little slow today, you did well in putting the threat down. Good job little sister." Wonder Woman grinned.
"Thanks! I guess." Cassie chuckled to herself.
"Come now, we must make haste if we are to meet the others on time." Diana suggested, taking to the air, followed by the younger Amazon.
[Central City]
The Flash and Kid Flash also had their hands full with another cold villain today. Both speedster were running circles around Central City's own Captain Cold.
"Why do we have to do this today Snart? Seriously, I'm kind of in a hurry here." Wally West complained as he ran the reverse direction of Barry Allen.
"That's funny coming from a speedster!" Captain Cold growled, firing another beam of his cold gun, only to miss.
"Yeah, hilarious. But I'm gonna have to cut this short." Kid Flash stopped his round and moved towards Cold while he was in the middle of a shot, slightly grazing his shoulder, but ultimately missed as Wally grabbed his gun.
Distracted with the Kid Flash, Cold never noticed Barry coming at him, knocking him out in one punch.
"We're the fastest men alive, Wally. I don't see why you think we're gonna be late." Flash crossed his arms.
"I'm impatient okay?" Wally said, handing the cold gun to the police for evidence.
[Hall of Justice]
Batman, Green Arrow, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman all stood facing their headquarters with their own sidekicks looking on in awe and excitement.
"I can't believe we're finally here!" Robin grinned, trying to keep himself from just marching into the building himself.
"I've only ever dreamed of this moment in my life!" Arrowette exclaimed, gripping her bow with excitement.
"You all deserve to be here, the amount of hard work and dedication has led you to this moment." Wonder Woman congratulated the four young heroes.
Just then there was a ZOOM and a gust of wind. As everyone looked to the side, they found that Flash and Kid Flash had just arrived.
"Look, everyone is here! I told you we were gonna be late!" Wally threw his arms into the air.
Flash just crossed his arms and shook his head, walking over to meet with the rest of the senior heroes.
"Please tell me we weren't the only ones dealing with an ice villain today."
The group of heroes then began entering the Hall of Justice. Upon walking through the first pair of doors, they were met with Starman and Martian Manhunter.
"Hey fellas!" The star themed hero welcomed everyone into the building.
"Starman, what's up my man?" Flash shook the man's hand.
"Welcome young ones, to the Hall of Justice." Martian Manhunter spoke, motioning to another pair of doors that slid open.
"Here, you will have access to our gym and training equipment. Access to our database is also available as well as the entire Justice League library." The Martian explained as they walked into a lounging room.
"Nice." Robin commented as he looked around the room, not minding the people taking pictures through the glass up top.
"Comfy." Kid Flash remarked as he sat in one of the lounge chairs.
Batman then gathered the senior heroes together in a circle, before third pair of doors slid open, revealing nothing but darkness.
"I'm calling a meeting right now, there's got to be some coincidence in five frost villains striking at the same time in one day."
"Agreed." Wonder Woman nodded as the heroes began walking into the dark room.
"Wait, so that's it?" The older heroes all turned to see Wonder Girl and Arrowette facing them with sad expressions.
"What do you mean Red?" Green Arrow asked his short time apprentice.
"I mean, aren't we going to come with you to the meeting?"
Oliver and Bruce exchanged a look before Batman spoke up.
"Look, we know it isn't what you expected, but the whole reason we invited you here was to help prepare you to be a part of the League one day."
"But I thought we were ready, at least, that's what you made it sound like." Robin came in.
"You're too young and inexperienced, we brought you here to train you." Wonder Woman explained.
"Oh…" Cassie looked down and rubbed her arm as they watched the older heroes walk into the room.
"Well today was a big letdown." Kid Flash groaned.
"I guess we have to see things form their perspective." Aqualad got up from his chair and walked to a large monitor.
"If we're young and inexperienced, which I'm not saying we are, then the League doesn't want to keep looking over their shoulders for us when we go on a mission."
"You're right. If we want to gain their trust, then we have to do our complete our own mission." Robin pointed out with a grin.
"Yeah but, what mission?"
"Good question."
It was then that the giant monitor came on with a live feed of Superman on the screen.
"Superman to the Justice League, there's been a-." He stopped himself once he saw that it was only the young heroes in the room.
"Woah, its Superman himself." Kid Flash gawked.
"Um, where is the League?" The Man of Steel asked, looking around the room as best he could.
"Oh, they're in a meeting, but we can take a call for them." Robin said, thinking quickly.
"Well since you guys are here I guess it's not really that important, but a Cadmus lab building nearby caught fire." Superman gave them the details.
"Gotcha, we'll pass it to the League ASAP!" Kid Flash joined in, catching Robin's slyness.
"Superman, out." He nodded before the screen went black.
"Guys." Robin smirked as everyone looked at him.
"I think we just caught a break."
[Cadmus Lab, current time]
'And this is what led us to this moment.' Robin thought to himself, almost done getting the door open. If only Wally hadn't rushed head first into that row of marching monsters, then they wouldn't have been detected.
It was then that the screen lit up green, signaling that the door was finally unlocked. "Got it you guys! Come on!" He motioned for everyone to follow as he ran inside the room.
"Don't have to tell me twice!" Kid Flash ran in next, followed by Arrowette and Wonder Girl. Aqualad took up the rear, making sure no one followed them inside as the doors closed back.
"I don't think they'll be able to get to us in here." He deduced, hearing the clang of the little monsters beating on the door.
"And now we're trapped! Thanks a lot Robin. We should've just called the League." Arrowette complained.
"Chill guys, we'll find a way out of here. They may have numbers on us, but we have mind and muscle." The Boy Wonder smirked, pointed to his head.
This made Wonder Girl and Aqualad roll their eyes as the arguing got even worse.
"Uh, you guys? You might want to come see this." Wally called to them before pressing a button on what looked like a control panel.
Suddenly a pair of lights came on and lit up two containment pods.
"Woah…" Robin gasped at the two people in the pods.
The first contained a boy around that looked around their age in a white suit, but the most unnerving feature was the big red 'S' on his chest.
"Look at this. Kr. That's atomic symbol for Krypton."
"That's impossible, there are only three Kryptonians alive right now, and I'm pretty sure Zod is still in the Phantom Zone." Robin deduced with a thoughtful expression before looking at the next container.
The next pod contained another boy around their age in a black suit with what looked to him like a Japanese Kanji symbol on the left side of his chest. It was odd, but the symbol and the appearance of the boy reminded him of a famous hero in the League, but he couldn't put his finger on the name.
"This one just has a big 'S' on the front. What do you think that means?" Wonder Girl ran her fingers across the glass.
"I don't know, but I'm about to find out." Batman's sidekick declared, plugging his wrist computer into the control panel.
Information about the first boy began popping up, making Robin's eyes widen. "No way."
"What is it?" Arrowette peaked over his shoulder.
"His DNA is half Kryptonian, half human. He came from Superman's DNA."
"There's no way the big guy knows this is down here." Wally guessed.
"What about the other guy?"
"Hm…" Tim typed for a minute before information came up, making his eyes get even wider, if that was even possible.
"What's a Saiyan?" Arrowette asked, looking at the screen.
"I've heard Wonder Woman mention something about that a time or two, what's it mean?" Cassie asked.
"He's half Saiyan, half human. That means his DNA belongs to the only other Saiyan here on Earth. Dragon Fist."
"Wait, you mean Dragon Fist as in, the other big guy? The only person besides Wonder Woman that can go toe to toe with Superman?" Kid Flash asked.
"I mean, these two are clones of the two most powerful heroes in the world." Robin explained grimly.
"I don't know about you guys, but I think now would be a good time to contact the League." Aqualad recommended, pressing the symbol on his belt.
The others then tried to contact their mentors in their own way, only for no signal to get through.
"Nothing is getting through. Probably got some kind of signal jammer up." Robin guessed while looking around the room.
Aqualad then looked to the two containment pods. "Well while we're looking for a way out, we might as well take them, they're safer with the League than they are here. Kid Flash, go free them."
Nodding, the young speedster pulled a lever down, making the containers open up.
As the first pod opened up, the boy's arm twitched, before balling into a fist and making a cracking sound.
At this, Aqualad's eyes narrowed. He knew something was wrong.
In a silent moment, the boy opened his eyes, Aqualad being the first to catch his attention. And in that moment, he moved so fast that not even Kid Flash could register the movement. He tackled the Atlantean to the floor, throwing multiple punches before Kid Flash and Robin came in to restrain him.
"Chill dude! We just want to help!" Wally yelled, only to be thrown back. His body flew into a giant glass container, completely breaking it and knocking him unconscious.
"Kid!" Wonder Girl called out, going to help fight the boy, before she suddenly found herself face planting the ground.
"Ugh… What happened?" She looked up, rubbing her face, only to see the young Saiyan boy from before.
He stared at her with a mindless glare, pointing a yellow ball of energy at her face. Though before he could even fire, an explosive arrow hit him in the back, making him stumble forwards. This gave Cassie the chance to trip him, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Thanks for the hand." She thanked Arrowette as she got back up.
"Trouble isn't over yet!" She exclaimed as she fired an electrical arrow, combined with Robin's taser at the Kryptonian, only for it to have no effect.
Ripping the prongs out of his chest, he charged Robin, clothes lining him and instantly knocking him out.
As he turned to the girls, he suddenly found Aqualad on his back, emitting a larger shock than before. This time it actually stung, so he was gonna take care of the Atlantean. He jumped so high into the air that he crashed into the ceiling, and Aqualad was taking the full brunt of the force. He did this again, and once more, before the Atlantean fell unconscious.
Now it was just the two girls. Both heroines tensed up and got ready as he began walking towards them.
"Listen, if we stick together and attack from both sides, we can take him." Wonder Girl said, getting ready.
"Yeah, that's going to be a problem." The female archer pointed out, making her turn and see the other boy was already up and advancing towards them as well.
"Damnit."
"Hope for the best?"
"Hope for the best."
And with that, both girls split up, taking on both boys.
Arrowette kept shooting explosive arrows, missing every shot which was pissing her off. "Hold still!" She yelled at the exact moment he appeared in front of her. Letting the arrow go, she jumped back as it exploded point blank right in his face. She felt confident until an open palm came bursting out of the smoke.
"Oh you've gotta be kid- hmph!" She suddenly found herself being grabbed by the face and slammed into the ground with such force that it knocked her out cold.
Wonder Girl and the Kryptonian boy rushed each other, meeting in the middle in a grapple, resulting in a standstill. This gave Cassie a little confidence, until he pulled her forward and headbutted her, making her stumble back. When she recovered, the last thing she saw was his fist, before everything went black.
