Just got this idea. I've never seen LOZ and Young Justice put together so I decided to put them together. I mean, Link grew up in a forest, Poison Ivy is obsessed with plants. Neither of them would like the city. So why not just have both of them meet and see what happens! Buuuut that will have to wait till later.

Chapter 1

'Gotham City... so that's where I am.'

Link walked away from the man, a confused look on his face. Gotham wasn't in Hyrule. That much he could tell from the way the man said, 'What's Hyrule?' like he thought Link was crazy.

'This is weird, that guy didn't even know what Hyrule is. This HAS to be the strangest thing that has happened to me...'

It was. Link had woken up in some random alleyway in a pool of his own blood. To make matters worse, he had absolutely no recollection as to how he got there in the first place!

All he knew was that there wasn't a six inch gash running across his chest and stomach before. He had bandaged the thing, and wobbled around a bit before collapsing to the ground in agony. After almost bleeding to death, Link gradually collapsed into blissful unconsciousness. When Link had finally woken up, some dumbass kids were making fun of him! Yelling crap about him being a 'Robin hood wannabee'.

The nerve of them.

When they had finally gone away, some man was looking over him with a worried glance and asking if he needed to be taken to the 'hospital'. That was the situation he had just walked out of.

'Well, the first thing I gotta do is to ditch the hat. Thing draws waaay too much attention. So do my clothes.'

Thus, Link dumped his hat into a gutter, and his dirty blond hair immediately spilled out.

Link did not understand all the fuss about his clothes. Those boys laughed at him, called him a girl. Made fun of him because he was wearing a "skirt". They were wearing baggy pants and tight shirts. Not something you would see someone wear in Hyrule. So he obviously needed to get new clothes. Maybe someone could help him?

Link staggered out of the alley and onto a street. It took a moment for his vision to adjust.

'So this is-WHAT!'

Tall buildings broke through the sky. Masses of people walked through the streets, and when you look around, this street could be at least half the size of Kakariko. It was amazing, yet very unnerving to Link.

"Oh Farore! It-it SUCKS!" Link slowly took in the city. Growling with annoyance. This wasn't welcoming, not at all. "Nothing here, is... normal... the people, the street..."

Speaking of the street, it was made of some type of compacted stone and a set of white lines dotted the middle. The whole thing was foreign. "Ugh, nothing is right." Link walked straight onto the stone and bent down to inspect the line.

"Now why would they need this line? It's not doing anything!" Link said to himself. Link bent down closer and started to prod it. After a few moments people started laughing and holding up... small rectangular devices, and... pointing it at him. Instincts kicked in and Link's hand touched the hilt of his sword. 'Okay, I better stop. Touching the line is obviously bad.' Link slowly retracted his hand and got up.

Maybe the line was sacred? Like a holy dotted line.

As Link mused, a soft noise started to grow. Link groaned. Something else to distract him. 'Oh goddesses, it's getting LOUDER!' Link turned and gasped loudly. Something was rushing towards him at unimaginable speeds. Link's eyes widened and his nose scrunched up. The thing was indescribable, and it reeked with an ungodly smell. (The smell was worse than cucoo droppings, Nayru it was bad). So Link did the only thing he knew how to do in situations like this.

To fight and survive like he always had.

Link unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the mechanical monster. 'Omigod, whatisit!?' Link was petrified. The smell grew stronger, the noise grew louder, and the monster grew bigger. Even though Navi wasn't here to help(Link thought with heavy remorse), Link stood tall in the face of death. He wasn't going to go down without a fight.

Just as it seemed like it would run him over, just as Link readied to swing his sword, an arm locked around his waist and pulled him out of the way. Link let out a cry and started to struggle in the tight grip, not hearing the monsters cry tapering in the distance, or the feminine voice that was currently yelling into his ear.

Link started to calm down when the woman hugged him. The embrace was warm and inviting, something Link had almost never gotten. When Cremia gave him one, Link really didn't know what to do, but now Link needed the hug. And it looked like the woman needed it too. Just as Link got really comfortable, the woman pulled away and knelt down to look him in the eyes.

"Kid, what in god's name were you doing, just standing out there in the open." The woman paused to take a shaky breath. "And pointing a knife at a car..." The woman turned to look away and muttered something that sounded like 'of all of the things, pointing a knife at a car.' and scoffed. Link raised an eyebrow, that thing was called a car?

The woman's head snapped sharply toward Link and she growled, "Well, got something to say for yourself?"

Link just smiled and said, "Yes I do! Thank you so much! I might have died!"(Okay woman, go away now... I humored you... Just leave...)

Much to Link's dismay, she stayed right where she was and slowly backed away from Link. The woman eyed his his sheath, no doubt wondering why a boy had a huge knife, before gaping at his garb.(Not again!) Sighing, Link snapped a few times in front of her face to get her attention. She blinked. "Well thanks again, but I really got to go..."

Just as Link turned to leave, the woman grabbed his wrist and Link found himself facing her once more. What did she want? Why couldn't she just go away already?

"Okay kid, first of all, it's not Halloween." Seeing Link's confused expression, she groaned and rephrased her sentence. "What I mean to say is you really need clothes. It's not even a question."

Link nodded. "I know I do, I just don't know where I can obtain them." The woman sighed and pointed down the road. "The store's at the end of the street, you can't miss it." Link nodded again and tried to pull away, but it seems that she had one more question.

"Kid, where are your parents? I mean, it really isn't safe to walk around alone in this city."

Link almost found himself telling the young woman.

"Uhhhh, they're... shopping over there!" The woman's gaze followed Link's finger before turning her gaze back towards Link.

"You know, why don't I show you where the store is." She smiled at Link.

Said person eyes her warily, frowning. Something is not right.

Link quickly put on a fake smile. "Okay!"

The woman took Link's hand and they walked down the street. As they walked, Link was still trying to recover from how different and just downright unhealthy the town looked. No trees, vegetation, barely an animal in sight. Damn, he would take Mido and his crap any day, just to be in the forest. How do these people live like this?

"This. Is. Horrible."

It took Link a moment to realize that he had said that out loud. He froze and promptly shut his mouth. He looked up to see that the woman looked amused. A smile tugged at her lips and a chuckle escaped them.

"HAHA, never been in a city before! Have you- waaait, ugh, I'm so sorry. I forgot to ask what your name was!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Link." He said apologetically.

"Barbara Gordon." She smiled down at him and continued to walk down the street. After an awkward silence they reached the store.

"Do you want me to go in with you?"

"No, it's fine."

Barbara ruffled his hair and Link walked into the store. As soon as he was gone, her smile vanished from her face. this child was a complete mystery to her. So many things just didn't add up with him. Nothing he did told anything about himself. Something was very wrong with the situation.

'That child... Why is he dressed in a skirt? Does he have any humility? He was obviously surprised by his surroundings. That look on his face proved that even if his words didn't. Did he grow up in the wilderness? I mean, he was pointing an oversized knife at a car. Who does that?

Scariest of all is that sheathe on his belt. That knife was huge. And I'm willing to bet that it isn't some blunt bread knife. No one let's a kid walk around with a knife, that raises the question of his parents. But still, What the hell IS he? He could definitely be dangerous... All the more reason to keep an eye on him.'


Link walked into the store and past the checkout desk.

'Woah... this is biiiig. Bigger than any of the shops in Hyrule!'

Link walked through the maze of aisles with a look of awe on his face(drawing a strange look from the woman at the desk), deliberately avoiding what was probably the women section. He had a pretty good idea where those things went, and they absolutely did NOT go on a mens body.

Link had never seen so many clothes in a single area, and he liked it. Always walking around in some stupid Kokiri garb was annoying, he couldn't deny that.

After a minute or so, Link spotted a pair of green shorts, with a white stripe running down each of its sides. Link grabbed that, and immediately went to find a shirt. Walking around, he soon spied a grey shirt just hanging on one of the racks, waiting for him.

'It looks like my size.'

Soon Link had everything he needed. After being directed to a changing room, he had to say he looked pretty dashing and awesome. Link sprinted to the checkout desk and slapped a green rupee in front of the woman, not before smirking. The pile of clothes was dumped right next to it.

"Is this enough?" He held up the green rupee.

The woman stared at Link with her mouth wide open. 'Oh crap, they don't use rupees? That SUCKS!"

"Miss?"

She snapped out of her trance and shook her head. "Sir, this is too much. I mean, that gem HAS to be worth a couple thousand dollars! I cannot accept this."

Oh damn. Link briefly looked out the doors to see Barbara looking in complete disgust. What was her problem, hmm? His gaze flickered back to the woman.

'What's the currency? Dollars? Damn it all, forgot to ask Barbara.'

"Really? This is really cheap where I come from." Link thought for a moment. He had a lot of rupees so it didn't really matter if he spent one. Did it? "It's fine really. Keep the change!"

The woman wordlessly accepted it, and promptly squealed with happiness. With a smirk, Link grabbed the bag his clothes were in and slung it over his shoulder. Just as he was about to leave, Link felt a hand roughly grip his wrist and he was abruptly yanked out of the store and shoved against a wall.

"What the-"

Link was looking in the eyes of a very angry Barbara and he swallowed. He could almost see the flames in her bright blue eyes. Link whimpered. "What did I do." He said in a very panicked voice.

"Where did you get it!" Link looked at her confused. Barbara tightened her grip. "Did you steal that emerald? Did you steal that knife too! Tell me now Link!" Link's face grew bright red. How dare she.

"Look, lady, I don't steal! I'm not like a petty criminal. Is that how you think of me!" Barbara's gaze softened, sensing the sincerity in his words. But there still was that lingering doubt. "I'm so sorry, please Link, It's just that I don't like criminals, okay?" Barbara pulled Link into a hug for a brief second.

"It's fine."

"That was still uncalled for. Look, how bout I take you out for lunch as an apology."

Link's head snapped up. Free food!

"Kay, but can I change first? I can't stand one more second in my tunic." Barbara smiled. "Sure!"

Link ran into an alley and crouched behind a dumpster. Soon he was fully clothed and his green garb was in the trash. There, one problem solved. Link came out of the alleyway and bounded over to Barbara. "Ready?" Link nodded. As Barbara clasped her hand with his, she asked a single question that destroyed his whole day. Not that it wasn't already partially ruined.

"What's your last name Link? You never did tell me."

"I don't have one."Link's smile melted once he saw her look of shock. Oh crap, what did I just do. Link backed away, shaking his head. Why can't I keep my mouth shut.

"It's Kokiri. My last name is Kokiri!"It was too late.

"Link. You don't have parents do you?"Barbara took a tentative step forward. "No, stay away." Link turned around and broke into a full sprint, ignoring the her calls for him to come back, that it is going to be alright. Bullshit!

Link ran back into the alleyway and let tears spill down his face. He was beginning to like that woman too. Wiping his eyes with his fists, he looked around, and set his eyes on a stack of cardboard boxes. "Why can't things just go my way for once?"

Link crawled towards the boxes and started lay them on the ground, not even thinking of anything but sleeping the night off. Pushing the boxes and stacking them, Link hid the makeshift bed and settled down for another nightmare filled sleep. Today was just not his day.

AND DONE! Wow this took a while to wright. Batgirl is going to be OOC but what can I say, I'm better with OOC! Anyways this is an updated version and I might just do it again. The whole scene with meeting Batgirl could have been a lot better, I mean, just running up to ask her a question has no mood. Almost being hit by a car and having Batgirl save him just seems better. Also, my writing style is admittedly horrible so I'm trying to make it more inviting, and trying to stretch out the events. And don't get me started on how I wrote Link in the clothing store, it was abominable. Anyways...

You people who faved or followed need to review, cmon, it can just be a few words, not too bad right?

Anyways, like always, R&R! Because seriously, it's just typing in a few words, not all too difficult.
