A/N: So, I've been reading a lot of Young Justice fan fiction lately, and decided to write one myself, especially since it's summer. I hope you guys enjoy! :)

WATCHTOWER

May 22, 01:03

The caped crusader frowned at the green-haired maniac on the large computer screen before him. The Joker had always bothered him - somehow he was always a step ahead. Even when Batman used all the tracking devices he could muster, the Joker always escaped him. Even when Batman put him in the Arkam Asylum, the Joker somehow always escaped. How could Batman ever truly stop the Joker?

You could always kill him, said a small voice in his head. Batman shook away the thought almost immediately. It was against his honour to kill. He would not kill. There was a better way to gain justice than killing.

Are you sure you're not just weak? Are you sure you're not just hiding your cowardice behind some sort of honourary code? the small, quiet but strong voice hissed.

No, of course not. Bruce might say yes to that, but Batman does not. Batman does not show fear. It didn't mean Batman didn't fear killing. He will never forget the shocked, fearful look his mother's eyes as her lifeless body fell to the group. Batman never wanted to do that to anyone, no matter how evil they are. He didn't want to see that look again.

Batman paid attention to the situation at hand. The Joker had yet again escaped from Arkam, but this time brought both Scarecrow and Harley with him. He had specifically sent Robin home because of that. He tried hard to hide it, but Batman never missed how tense Robin got around Scarecrow. He was terrified of him.

Batman didn't know what Joker was planning, but he knew it wasn't good. It most likely involved some sort of laughing gas he was going to release to the city. That meant Batman and Robin had to get to work fast.

Sighing, Batman switched off the large screen and made his way towards the zeta-beam. He knew he was the only one in the Watchtower (Clark would most likely be mad at him for that), but it was for the safety of Gotham. He had a duty to protect the city, and he would never let the civilians down.

STAR CITY

"Oof!" Connor grunted as he fell to his knees, weakened by the kryptonite the villain was holding. The rest of the team was no help - they had each been taken down by the notorious Dr. Light.

"I wish I could get this on camera - the great Superboy being taken down by tiny kryptonite!" Dr. Light teased. Connor groaned, both because of pain he felt and because he hated being so weak.

"I guess that's a victory for me, Justice Babies," Dr. Light laughed to himself, earning a groan from each member of the team. Dr. Light started to walk away, collecting the money he had robbed, when M'gann's eyes lit up. Dr. Light stopped, and sank to his knees. A loud cry of pain erupted from his mouth, earning a surprised look from the the rest of the team. M'gann returned to consciousness, and frowned inwardly at what she had done. She had been careful, hadn't she?

Your powers are out of control, a voice told her. M'gann nodded to herself, agreeing with the voice. You need to learn to control them, and your emotions.

M'gann sighed.

"Mission well done, I guess?" Robin said, breaking the awkward silence.

MOUNT JUSTICE

"The mission was successful?" Batman asked. The team shrugged, unsure. Robin had already come to a conclusion, however.

"Yes, thanks to Miss M!" he said eagerly. "She totally stopped Dr. L with her ability to probe people's minds. It was cool."

You really thought that was cool? M'gann asked through their mental link.

Not really. But do you want Batman sending you back to Mars because your powers are apparently out of control?

M'gann silently said thanks to Robin.

"Good," the bat said coldly. "You all have another mission. There has been reports of a hostage situation in Gotham. You have to go and save the hostages."

GOTHAM CITY

May 22, 16:31

The mission had started like any ordinary mission. Artemis and M'gann had been on lookout in case any criminal decided to strike. Kaldur and Connor fought the criminals, while Kid Flash and Robin ran in and released the hostages. It was working well so far, until Kid Flash and Robin realized there were no hostages.

M'gann! M'gann! There are no hostages! Wally yelped.

Calm down, Kid Flash, we'll just-

What if this is a trap, what if-

"I believe you're right about one thing, Flash Boy."

The eerie voice may have creeped Wally out, but the only thing that he was concerned about was the fact that the man hadgotten his name wrong.

"It's Kid Flash!" he roared, turning around to punch the guy. He stopped dead in tracks when he realized who it was - the Joker.

The man who Robin had told him horror stories about. The man who had once haunted Wally's nightmares. The man who was even Batman feared. The Joker.

"A-a-ah!" the Joker said, wagging his finger. He reached to grab Wally, causing his reflexes to kick in. He avoided the Joker's hand at superspeed and ran to his back, kicking him in the back at superspeed. The Joker fell to the ground, laughing hysterically.

That laugh... grumbled Robin.

Rob? Rob, where did you...never mind. What do we do? I bet he has the whole place staked out.

I dunno. Try and get a hold of M'gann.

Dude. We're talking in the mental link she made. Shouldn't she be listening right now?

A flash of worry came across Wally's face. Sure, he constantly hit on M'gann, but he did care about her.

A blow came to Wally's stomach. He coughed slightly, then regained himself and made an effort to punch the Joker. Surprisingly, it was caught by his hand.

"Your old tactics won't work on me, Flashie!"

In one quick movement, the Joker had a knife in his hand and was slashing at Wally. Wally barely had enough time to miss a jab to his abdomen. It barely scraped him, but it still hurt. He winced slightly.

KF, you okay?

Yes, what are you doing?

Overriding the electrical system. Trying to get the lights on, specifically the one over you, so I can blind him. Remember to close your eyes on the count of three.

Okay...

One...two...three-

Robin was shoved to the ground, revealing his hiding place. Behind him stood Scarecrow - yes, the Scarecrow. Wally was meeting a lot of infamous Villains today.

"Oh, look, Boy Wonder has come to join the party! This will only make this so much more fun."
