Okay, people. This is my Justice League fanfic. This story has no continuity with the DCAU at all, and this is my own original story. Some character descriptions will come from the DCAU, but that'll be about it, though I imagine some characters with the same voice they had in the DCAU (such as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Lex Luthor). This, I guess, is what you can call the "first season" of the Justice League: New Warriors series. Have a nice day!
CHAPTER ONE: WATCHTOWER
Batman was waiting for them. New recruits were coming to join the Justice League. The new recruits he knew included Supergirl, Superman's cousin, Dick Grayson, his first sidekick, also known as Nightwing, and Wonder Girl, Wonder Woman's sidekick.
Teleporters were bringing every one of them from Earth. Batman just hoped nothing went wrong during the next few days of training. He and Superman had learned of a new team of villains coming after them, and they knew to be cautious and to not underestimate the team.
The first teleportation device began to whirr, allowing Batman to know it was working. A flash of light entered the tube, and when it cleared, Batman saw Supergirl standing there, wearing her red-and-blue costume complete with a long-sleeved top that exposed her midriff and a miniskirt, as well as knee-high red boots. She left the tube and came to stand next to Batman.
"Good day," she greeted. "How're things going in Gotham?"
"Good," he replied briskly. "Your cousin is in the control room. He said he wants to speak with you."
"I'll just remain here for now," Supergirl told him. "Cassie and I spoke about meeting each other here last night." Batman knew she was talking about Wonder Girl. "By the way," she continued, "is there a reason you allowed your first sidekick to join the team but not Barbara? She deserves to be a part of this team, you know."
"She's already spoken to me about it," Batman told her. "But I'll tell you what I told her. She can't be on this team because she's needed in Gotham. If she joined, her father might begin to wonder where she might have gone."
"Oh Batman," Supergirl teased. "Sometimes, you just need to lighten up."
The teleporters whirred again, and this time Nightwing, wearing street clothes and in the civilian guise of Dick Grayson, with a duffel bag hanging on his shoulder, appeared, as did Wonder Girl in her civilian guise of Cassie Sandmark.
"Hey Batman," Dick called to him, smirking. "I see you're still not smiling. How're things going for you?"
"Good," Batman replied to him.
Dick looked to Supergirl and smiled. "I can see he's still quite salty," he said to her. She just giggled.
Batman saw Cassie make her way to a place behind him. Turning around, he found her hugging Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman saw Batman and smiled at him. She saw Dick and Supergirl, returning the same smile to them.
Batman was about to speak when he heard the teleporters whirring again. He whirled around, not knowing the reason behind the teleporters working again.
Wonder Woman walked over to him. "Did you know anything about this?" Batman asked her.
"Sort of," was all she said.
There was the flash of light, and when it cleared, Batman saw Barbara Gordon standing there, smiling brightly.
"What in the name of God is she doing here?" Dick whispered behind.
Batman's expression became that of surprise. Barbara was one of Batman's sidekicks, Batgirl. To see her in the Watchtower caused him to think.
Her long red hair flowed on her shoulders and her back. A duffel bag hung over her left shoulder, and a purse over her right. Her baby-blue eyes sparkled. She wore a night-black shirt and a dark blue skirt.
As she came out of the teleporter, she flashed a smile at Batman. "Miss me?" she asked.
"What are you doing here?" Batman asked her.
"I was told by a specific someone that I could join the Justice League," she explained. "And don't worry about Tim. He's coming, too, but probably not until tonight. You know, he's wondering about what he should pack."
She walked over to Supergirl and hugged her. Ever since the Bat-family had teamed up with Superman and Supergirl against the Joker, Scarecrow, Lex Luthor, and Metallo, the two of them had become great friends.
As the girls left, Batman turned to Wonder Woman. "Did you have something to do with this?" he asked.
"Yes," she replied. "But I wasn't the only one."
"Who else was in on this?" he demanded.
"Superman and the Flash," she replied. "Just deal with it. Besides, you know you like it. She was so excited when she found she could join! You should be so happy for her!"
Batman remained silent and turned away.
Meanwhile Barbara was unpacking her duffel bag into her dressers in her room. She'd learned from Superman that she would be sharing the room with Supergirl and Cassie Sandmark, who she later found out from Wonder Woman to be Wonder Girl.
"So how does it feel?" Supergirl asked her. "To be part of the Justice League, I mean." She was smiling brightly.
"Great," Barbara replied. "Do you know if we have any missions to do or something like that? I would love to just hang out with you soon."
"There'll be plenty of time for that," Supergirl told her. "We'll probably just be training for a small while, and then when we're ready, we'll be able to go on our own adventures. It'll be so fun! And yeah, let's talk about all that's happened tonight. We might have dinner or something, so it'd be the best time then."
Barbara was about to open her mouth again, but then there was a knock on the metallic door that acted as both the entrance and the exit for the room. Barbara knew only she, Supergirl, and the other girl, Cassie, could get into the room, as they'd been given the keycards ahead of time by Wonder Woman and Superman.
Barbara opened the doors and found Superman standing there. He was smiling at them in a very good-mannered way.
"Hello, ladies," he greeted. "How did Bruce take it when you appeared, Barbara?"
"He didn't take it the best," Barbara replied. "I will probably be taking a lot from him in a few minutes. But I don't care too much. Since you gave me and okay, and since Wonder Woman did it, as well, not of it is my fault. Of course, none of it is your fault, either."
"I understand," Superman said. "I'll talk to him…" Someone cleared their throat behind him, cutting him off. Superman turned around to see Batman. "…Later," he finished.
"I need to speak with Barbara," Batman told him. He looked to her. "Meet me in the control room. You'll know where it is."
As he walked off, Cassie came into their line of vision. Wonder Woman stood next to her. "Excuse me, is this room 212B?" she asked. "I'm sorry, I'm nervous, and I get lost a little too easily." She laughed nervously.
"Yes, this is the right room," Wonder Woman told her. "Barbara, if you wish, I can take you to the control room."
"I'll come too," Superman said. He looked to Supergirl. "I'll be back soon, Kara."
Barbara, Superman, and Wonder Woman left the room, leaving Kara and Cassie.
As they made their way to the control room, Wonder Woman put her hand on Barbara's shoulder. "Don't worry, Barbara," she assured. "You've done nothing wrong."
"I know," Barbara admitted. "If you ask me, this is the perfect time for something like this. Now we'll all be able to be more of a family."
When they reached the control room and entered, Batman and Dick were waiting on them. Dick flashed a smile at Barbara, but she could tell he was still surprised at the fact she'd come without telling him.
After the doors closed, Batman looked to her.
"What are you doing here?" he asked solemnly.
"I was told I could come," she replied. "Superman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash said I could. And as I said before, Tim is coming tonight. The city can do without us for one night, if you ask me. None of our enemies are around, Bruce. Joker and Scarecrow have pretty much gone off the map."
"It doesn't matter…" Batman began, but he was cut off by Barbara.
"Yes, you're wondering about my dad! I'm 21 years old now, Bruce! You can't keep me stuck there in Gotham forever! I love it there, but I wanted to do something new, and this came to mind!" Barbara explained. "I should be allowed! I mean, Dick was allowed by you! Why shouldn't I?"
Batman opened his mouth, but he was cut off by Wonder Woman.
"She's right, Bruce," Wonder Woman told him. "She is able to be here. She has proven herself worthy, if you ask me."
"I agree," Superman said. "Let her stay at least for the training. If she hasn't proven herself worthy to you then, then you can decide. What do you say to that, Barbara?"
"I think it's fine," Barbara said. "Just deal with it, Bruce. We're a team. No, we're more than just a team. Me, you, Dick, Tim…we're much more than just a team…we're a family. If you can't accept that, then something's wrong with you."
Batman finally nodded. "Fine," he said. "We'll see."
Then he walked out of the room, leaving the others to watch and wonder.
