Hey guys! I'm making this story because I heard Young Justice is supposedly cancelled. Because of that news, I had decided to make my own Young Justice show. This story will be updated probably every weekend. Most likely on a Saturday lol. I absolutely love the show and the fact that Cartoon Network wants to cancel it is Outrageous while they keep stupid shows with Oranges in it. It's stupid. A heads up of what's to come in the show, plenty of action, teen drama, missions and charater development. I will use OC's for this new team I came up with. Don't worry my friends, the characters in the show will also be a major part in this story. They may not show up in this chapter but starting the next chapter they will be on. To give advice, to be friends with my oc's, and to join them on missions. This story takes place in 2012. Basically one year after the first season. I will be writing what happend in that five year timeskip. I will have Robin turn into Nightwing etc. Have faith in me lol. This story will have Story Arc's. A story arc will most likely take up five chapters. I already got the first story arc thought up. I'm currently working on ideas for the second one. I hope you guys enjoy. Read and Review! Send me pm's for feedback, advice or if you just want to talk Young Justice. I'll be here. Enjoy the show.
Disclaimer: I do not own DC or Young Justice. I just love it. Don't sue the fan that wants the show to go on.
Mount Justice
September 5th, 2012
6:30 pm est
A teenage boy walked into Mount Justice with a duffel bag hanging over his back. He looked up, amazed at his surroundings. He was finally there, he was finally in Mount Justice. It was all that Green Arrow told him it was. It's huge, he thought as he dropped his duffel bag on the floor with a loud thump. The boy walked up a few steps and saw a massive computer and wondered what it was for. He had heard that Batman would give the team missions, so he guessed that computer was used often by him for that purpose. He would have never known there was a base inside of a mountain. Even though he used the Zeta tube to get into the mountain, he saw pictures of the mountain on the internet the night before. Whoever did the interior of this base must have had a fortune. He then wondered how the League was able to afford all of this, but he then remembered that Green Arrow was loaded with money.
The boy heard machines roaring behind him and a bright light blinded him temporarily. Once he regained his vision, he looked in the direction of where the zeta tubes were. He saw a kid -younger than him by two years at least- standing next to his duffel bag. The boy was shorter then him by just a bit, he was wearing sunglasses indoors and his clothing was all black. He had black hair and a fair skin tone.
The boy raised a eyebrow as he looked at the younger boy, "Uh, hey," He walked up to the boy, "I'm Dante. What's your name?" The sixteen year old asked with a smile as he offered his hand for a shake.
The boy looked at Dante curiously, then his hand, and finally decided to shake it. "My name is Crow." The boy then looked down at his hand as he felt a jolt and felt a bit nauseous.
Dante looked at the uneasy look on Crow's face and frowned, "Sorry about that," He let go of Crow's hand and stepped back, "It's a force of habit."
Crow looked confused, "What just happened?" He asked as he looked at Dante wearyingly.
Dante sighed while rubbing the back of his neck, "Sorry, it's my power. I can copy other people powers and memories by just touching them." Green Arrow warned him about it and told him to wear gloves, but Dante felt stupid wearing gloves forever.
Crow smiled, "That's a neat trick."
Dante nodded, returning a smile to his new acquaintance, "I know right? So what brings you here Alex?"
Alex's eyes widened and began to sweat profusely because the first thing Batman had told him the night before was to not reveal his secret identity to his teammates. It was a test and he already failed. He looked around for cameras nearby and was praying to god that Batman wasn't watching.
Alex leaned in close to Dante, "Dude, don't say my name out loud." He whispered as he looked around frantically hoping Batman wouldn't come out of the shadows like he usually does.
Dante stepped back and raised a eyebrow, "Ok... Why?" he asked as he thought the kid was kind of weird already.
Alex looked down at the ground with a frown, "Batman kind of told me not to tell anyone my identity. It was a test and I failed."
Dante chuckled and put a hand on Alex's shoulder, "Don't worry, dude. I won't tell anybody."
Alex lifted his head up to see Dante's reassuring smile and was grateful. Alex returned the smile with a small nod, "Thanks."
The machines roared again and a bright light covered a quarter of the room. Batman and Green Arrow entered the base, Green Arrow with a smile on his face as he walked up to Dante. The two shook hands and began to joke around while Alex watched in envy before turning his attention to Batman to see if the caped crusader would do the same, but he found that to be highly unlikely. He smiled at Batman and in return Batman just narrowed his eyes on the boy. Green Arrow walked over to Batman and stood beside him after Alex looked away from his would-be mentor.
Green Arrow looked at the two boys and folded his arms, "Well, here you two are. Welcome to Mount Justice."
Batman narrowed his eyes on the two. The way Batman looked at the two easily made the two fear him. He had that affect on people. The boys gulped as they tried to keep eye contact with the man.
Dante finally spoke up, "Where is the rest of the team?"
"They're out on a mission. They will be back later." Batman said with his unnecessarily deep and hoarse tone which sent chills down the back of Dante whom never heard his voice before.
Green Arrow followed his companion's lead and said, "Yeah. You two can make yourselves at home. There is plenty of rooms here. Just pick a room and put your stuff in it."
The boys nodded and walked away from the two after Dante said goodbye to his mentor. Batman and Green Arrow observed the two walk away from them before Batman turned to look at Green Arrow. Green Arrow already knew what he was going to say because of the intense look on his face. Then again, he always had that look on his face.
"You told him not to over do it with his powers, right?" Batman asked as he walked over to the computer with his cape flying around from each step he took.
Green Arrow groaned, this not being the first time Batman asked him that. "Yes, Bruce. I told the boy, even though he is not wearing gloves like I told him too." he gave Batman a reassuring smile similar to the one Dante gave Alex minutes before, "Relax Bats, I got this covered."
Batman turned around and glared at Green Arrow, "No. We have to watch over this kid. With that power he can copy any of the league members. If he goes rogue, he would be worse than Amazo."
Green Arrow remembered the countless battles the League had with Amazon and began to frown as he started to think if Dante would be someone the League would have to take down he shook those thoughts out of his head and attempted to remain positive about his new protégé. "He's just a kid Bruce. Have faith in him."
Batman growled silently as he turned around and looked at the computer, "I wish I was as optimistic as you are Ollie, but if that boy was to get his hands on Superman, just imagine what would happen. He already took your skills and Canary's powers."
Green Arrow rubbed the bridge of his nose as he recalled the day he met Dante. Green Arrow and Black Canary were battling Merlyn -Green Arrow's arch nemesis- and Dante was just an innocent bystander in the mall with some friends. As the three were battling, Merlyn saw Dante and his friends and shot a explosive arrow at the two and Green Arrow and Black Canary managed to save the group. Black Canary saved Dante, but Dante touched her allowing himself to unknowingly gain her power while she felt weak. Merlyn took advantage of the situation and shot an arrow at Black Canary that could've ended her, but Dante saw the arrow and shouted 'No!' with the power of Black Canary stunned the dark archer, leaving him to hold his ears to block the deafening scream. Green Arrow took advantage of the situation just as Merlyn nearly did and took out Merlyn. After the fight, Green Arrow walked up to Dante and shook his hand unbeknownst to him that Dante copied his skills and memory as well.
"Maybe you're right, Bruce, but if we treat him like a villain then he is going to act like one. The reason we put him on the team is because we want the others to rub off on him. Just give the boy time and faith and he will become a great hero."
"Maybe…" Batman countered, believing Green Arrow didn't even trust his own words.
Dante and Alex roamed the halls of the base trying to find rooms that were empty for the two. The two opened and shut doors which were obviously occupied by the other members that lived in the base.
As they were walking, Alex looked at Dante, "So you think Batman is making a new team with us in it?"
Dante shrugged as he continued to hold his duffel bag over his shoulder, "Probably."
Alex was lost in thought for a moment until he broke the silence, "Who you think is going to be leader of the team?"
"Probably you."
"What? Why?"
"Because your mentor is Batman." Dante shrugged, "I don't know."
"I think it should be you."
"Why?" Dante questioned as he looked at Alex.
"Because you have powers, you're older then me," He looked down at the floor under his feet sadly, "and I'm not as experienced as you."
"Batman hasn't taught you anything?"
Alex shook his head, "Nope. He just found me fighting some thugs in this really useless costume I was wearing. I guess he saw some kind of potential in me. He just threw me into this team." He chuckled, "I've only been a hero for a couple of weeks."
"Me too. Well, technically I was a villain."
Alex's eyes bulged in surprise as he looked at his comrade, "What?!"
Dante nodded, "Yeah. My father is really sick so I was committing crimes to get him money for his medications." He frowned, "My father has cancer. I take care of him all by myself. I had to do something."
Alex frowned when he heard the story. Alex was always an orphan growing up. Moving in between homes in a whole bunch of cities. He always wanted to have parents. He always wondered what happened to his parents or why they put him up for adoption. Alex didn't understand what it felt like to have a parent, but he understood that if he did have them and they were sick then he would do anything he can to cure them.
Alex broke the silence once again, "I understand." He then looked up ahead, where they left the two grown-ups, "So how did you meet Green Arrow and became a hero?"
"Green Arrow and Black Canary saved my life from Merlyn. I took her powers and then Green Arrow finished him off. I took Green Arrow's skills before he knew it. While on my crime spree, he found me. We fought and we were evenly matched because I had his skills and tactics stored in me. He changed my life after that fight. After I told him about my father, he gave me an option: go to jail or become a hero. I was reluctant at first, but then he told me that he would pay for my father's medication. I knew his real identity -Because I have his memories- so I know he could help me. Since then I have been training with him occasionally since Red Arrow isn't in the picture anymore."
Alex grinned, "So Green Arrow is filthy rich? Who is he?!" He asked loudly with excitement.
Dante chuckled and shook his head, "I can't tell anybody. I promised him." He looked at Alex, "Like I told you I won't tell anyone your name."
Alex pouted, "Fair enough."
They continued to walk while Alex kept mentioning how big the base was as they got lost finding rooms. There were two rooms to their side that didn't have anybodies name on them.
Alex looked at Dante, "Want to be neighbors?" he asked with a cheesy smile.
Dante shrugged and smiled back, "Sure."
The two boys opened their doors at the same time and entered their rooms. Dante closed the door behind him and dropped his duffel bag on top of his bed. He started taking out his clothes and personal belongings from the bag. He took out a picture of his father and himself before the cancer as well as a picture of his mother. Dante smiled and put the pictures next to his bed on the night table. A few minutes later he was done unpacking and he left his room.
He knocked on Alex's door and waited for him to open. Alex finally opened the door and Dante noticed that Alex's room seemed as empty as his room was. Dante raised a eyebrow and Alex noticed the look. He explained that he was living in Gotham with his adopted parent who was a friend of Batman's. He only brought clothes just in case he crashed at the base after a mission. Dante shrugged and asked Alex if he wanted to roam the base to get aquatinted with their new surroundings. Alex happily nodded and the two went off on their adventure.
It was late at night. The two were in the living room/kitchen area of the base. Alex was on the sofa watching TV while Dante was cooking some burgers and french-fries for the two. Alex put on a nearby black blanket and appeared in the kitchen doing his best Batman impression. He started talking in a deep voice which with the black blanket cape made Dante laugh uncontrollably for a few seconds. Alex went back to the sofa after Dante served him and the two were still laughing.
"I wonder what kind of hobbies Batman has." Alex randomly blurted out.
Dante took a bite of his burger and chuckled afterwards, "Why are you wondering this?"
Alex shrugged, "I don't know. No man can be as serious as Batman. He must like to do something."
"Maybe knitting?"
Alex laughed at the thought, "Knitting and Gardening!"
Dante laughed so much he choked on some french-fries that he was eating, "Can you imagine him with the old lady hair knitting?"
"Or him with a gardeners hat out in the middle of a field gardening and whistling a tune."
"Imagine both of those with his costume on. Imagine how stupid he would look."
The two laughed hysterically at the thought of Batman looking like that. The laughing didn't stop until Batman walked into the room. Dante saw Batman enter the room so he hid behind the counter with a burger in his mouth and a french-fry on his head without him knowing. Alex was still laughing until he froze and saw Batman standing beside him. His heart dropped and he felt the weight of the world -or Batman's hard look of disappointment- on his shoulders. He felt as if it was the end of the world.
"What is going on here?" Batman asked as he glared at the young boy.
"Uh…" He looked at the direction where Dante was so that he could help. He saw Dante was no longer there and he narrowed his eyes. Some friend you are, he thought. "See, what had happen was…"
"Why are you two not asleep? You have school tomorrow." Batman said so seriously that the room seemed to have gotten darker and darker. Batman narrowed his eyes at where Dante was hiding. "Stop hiding!"
Dante's eyes widened and he felt as if his soul left him. He slowly brought his head up over the counter. The burger still in his mouth and the french-fry still on top of his head. He gulped and looked at Batman while Alex snickered as he saw the french-fry on top of Dante's head. The snickering quickly came to a halt once Batman turned his attention to the youngest one. Alex looked down in shame while Dante was chewing on his burger.
"Both of you get to bed now." Batman commanded with such force that the two boys left the room with their tails tucked between there legs. Dante, however, still had the burger in his mouth so he took it with him.
"I didn't even know he was still here." Alex whispered quietly as he and Dante rushed to their rooms. Dante nodded vigorously and ran to his room. A few minutes after finishing his burger he fell asleep as did Alex.
September 6th, 2012
10:00 am est
It was early in the morning and Dante woke up after the alarm blasted in his ear. He groaned and turned it off before sitting up and stretching himself out. He was still tired from the night before, but couldn't help to chuckle as he thought about the whole Batman situation that happened. Dante got out of bed and quickly headed toward the showers. After his shower he went back to his room after finding it odd that he still hadn't seen any of the members of the team. He got dressed and got ready for school before coming out of his room with a book bag over his right arm. He walked over to Alex's room because it was 10:45 and classes started at 8 in Star City so they needed to rush to school. Green Arrow had told Dante that the new team would be going to Star City High school. They didn't want all members of the team to be in Happy Harbor High school. All Dante and Alex needed to do was get ready for school and take the zeta tube to Star City. Dante knocked on Alex's door, but there was no answer. Dante used a skill that he picked up from Green Arrow and started picking the lock on the door.
He turned the knob after he finished picking the lock and entered Alex's room. The boy was laid out on the bed, snoring loudly, as if he hadn't slept in days. Dante glared at the sleeping boy as he walked over to the bed and started shaking Alex, so he could wake the boy from his slumber. Alex didn't budge, it was as if he was dead.
Dante frowned, "Sorry that I have to do this too you." He cleared his throat and screamed, "Get up!" with Black Canary's super power which could be heard throughout the whole base.
Alex jumped out of his bed, "I'm up!" He stood up from his bed and struggled to keep himself from falling back into bed. "What do you want?" He asked as he scratched his head.
Dante pointed to his watch, "It's time for school."
Alex groaned and laid back on his bed, "I don't want to go."
Dante tugged on Alex's leg, "Come on, dude. If Batman finds you here, you're dead."
Alex considered it and then decided he was right. He stood up, kicked Dante out of the room, took a five minute shower, went back to his room, and got dressed. All of that took 30 minutes. The two were late for class and Dante hated him because of it. Alex stepped out of his room, looked at Dante with sleepy eyes, and then made his way to the zeta tubes like a zombie looking for brains.
Star City
8:20 am pst
The two went through the zeta tubes and appeared in a alley in Star city. Dante knew his way around the city because he was born there so he showed Alex the way to their new school. Star City High school was a bit bigger then what Dante expected. The outside was white, full of pillars next to the entrance of the school. The school took up a whole block. While Dante looked at the school, Alex was leaning on Dante half asleep and drooling. Dante smacked the crap out of Alex to wake him up. Alex eyes widened as he cradled his cheek. Alex asked why he did that and Dante replied that he had to wake up.
The two quickly made their way to the school. The outside -which is usually crowed with teens- was empty. The two made their way up the stairs to the entrance and walked inside only to be personally greeted by the Principal. The two frowned as they followed the principal to his office. Once there, the two got a lecture from the Principal about tardiness and what happens when you don't follow his rules. All Alex could hear was the same thing Charlie Brown and his group would hear from the adults. It made him chuckle when he snapped back to reality but that chuckle quickly stopped as the principal's eyes narrowed on him.
The principal decided to give the two a second chance since they were new to the school and sent them to their classes. Dante went to his first period class quickly while Alex slowly made his way to his class.
During the Lunch break, Dante was in the cafeteria where he was chilling out with some new friends that he made. Alex on the other hand walked into the lunchroom, tired and with no friends. Dante sent Alex a text asking him where he was. Alex replied that he was in the cafeteria. Dante asked where. As Alex was about to text Dante back, he asked himself how did Dante get his number. He then remembered that Dante had his memories so of course he would know the number to the cell phone that Batman gave him. It was black and was shaped like a crow. Alex put his finger on the dial so that he can reply to Dante, but a huge teenager bumped into him and made Alex drop his phone.
"Jerk…" Alex stated as he knelt down to grab his phone.
The jerk turned around and stared at Alex with intent to kill, "What did you say?!"
After picking up his phone, Alex looked up and saw the massive man and his hardened stare, which frightened him. "Uh…"
The bulky stomped over to Alex, grabbed him by his shirt and picked him up from the ground. He slammed him against the wall and punched him in the stomach with his open hand. "Take that back, squirt!"
Dante heard the commotion and the shouting of "Fight! Fight! Fight!". He excused himself from his new friends and walked over to where the two were. His eyes widened as he saw Alex. Defend yourself Alex, he thought to himself.
"He's totally going to get pounded." One girl the same age as Dante said. Dante looked at her, she had long curly dark brown hair, a couple of birth marks on her face, was shorter than Dante, had a olive skin tone like him and also had a slender body.
"Don't say that." Dante said as he looked at the fear and pain on Alex's face. Dante wondered why Alex couldn't handle the guy. If he could take on thugs in Gotham, then how come he couldn't handle the guy with a fist cocked back?
The girl shrugged, "Well, he better do something before," She winced as Alex got hit in the face with a punch, "That happens."
Dante walked away from the girl and made his way through the cheering crowd. Once he got to the front, he was about to say and do something when somebody already made their way to the bully. It was a tall African American male that was muscular, had short black hair and was taller then the bully. He looked as if he could be playing defense on a pro football team. The guy put his hand on the bully's shoulder, pinched a nerve which made the bully drop Alex and turn around. The guy had the bully's full attention now. The bully threw a punch to the guy's face, the guy ducked and uppercut the bully straight in the jaw. The bully stumbled back, the guy ran to the jerk and tackled him to the ground. Dante definitely thought this guy could be playing the linebacker position. Once he tackled the guy he pinned one of the bullies hands down and punched him with his open hand. The punch made the bully bleed as he crushed his nose. The guy stood up while the bully held his nose and was whimpering.
The guy walked over to Alex who was on the floor looking up to him. He helped Alex up and smiled at him, "You alright, man?"
Alex hesitated, but nodded as he rubbed the cheek that got punched, "Yeah, thanks a lot."
"My name is Tyreese." He extended his hand and waited for Alex to shake it.
Alex shook his hand, "My name is Alex."
Tyreese rubbed the back of his neck, "Yo Alex, there is a seat open at my table. Wanna come chill with me and my friends?"
Alex shrugged, "Sure."
Alex followed Tyreese to his table. He spotted Dante and smiled faintly at him. Dante sighed and went back to his table with his friends. Once at Tyreese's table, everyone there seemed like they would be the cool kids in the school. They were all strangely friendly to Alex -which Alex didn't mind but felt it was a bit weird. Alex sat down next to Tyreese and his day got better after that. As long as he chilled out with Tyreese nobody would bother him. But he was still mad that he didn't defend himself against that jerk. He froze up and couldn't do anything. If Batman were there,he would be scolded and lectured. That made Alex's stomach cramp up. There was a sudden ding and Alex received a message from Dante. Dante asked if he was alright. Alex found Dante sitting at a table looking at him and nodded slowly as a response.
Mount Justice
7:00 pm Est
After school the two went home together and time flew by as the two did their homework together. It was night time, around 8 o'clock, when they heard the zeta tube roar once again. They were in the living room,but they decided to go check out who came through it. When they went they saw Batman at the computer.
Batman turned his attention away from the computer and to the approaching teens, "Good, you're here."
Dante raised a eyebrow as he stopped walking and looked at Batman curiously, "What's up?"
Batman turned back to the computer and started typing. A face popped up on the screen, it was someone with long dark hair and a mask on that had a cat grinning, "Alpha is out on a mission. I'm officially declaring you two the Beta team." He turned around and looked at the two, "It's time for your first mission."
Alex was trying his hardest to not jump up with joy while Dante watched him in amusement. He glanced back at Batman, "What's the mission Batman?"
Batman had a hologram figure of the person appear in front of the two, "Her name is Cheshire. She's a assassin for the League of Shadows. We have gotten reports that she will attack a U.S senator who is running for President. You two are to stop her at all costs and protect the senator." He narrowed his eyes on the two, "Do I make myself clear?" He asked in a serious tone, but then again, when isn't he serious?
The two nodded and smiled.
"Good. Go suit up."
The two had a race to see who could get to their rooms and get suited up the quickest. Batman groaned when he heard about it. Dante made his way to his room and so did Alex. Dante knelt down and reached under his bed for something. It was a suitcase, it had Queen Industries labeled on it. He put it on his bed and opened it with the code Green Arrow gave him. He opened it to see his new costume, quiver, bow, and arrows all in there. He wondered how someone can fit all of that in there, but he quickly gave up on it. He had a race to win! Dante's costume was black and red with red shoulder pads and a black vest inside of the costume that he guessed was suppose to be bulletproof. Once he put that on he hooked up his quiver the way it was suppose to be. He then grabbed the arrows and put them inside of the quiver before he picked up his bow and examined it. It was black and the string was red. He remembered Green Arrow telling him to press the button next to the little scope it had on it. He pressed the button and the bow started getting smaller as it started shifting. It was the length of a long ruler and was a slim rectangular shape. He also hooked that up to his back and smiled. He picked up his red domino mask and put it on. It was regular, but it was still cool to him.
In a rush, Alex tripped over his pants and his face hit the wall while his body laid on his bed. He got up and rubbed his face before going into his book bag and smirked as he pulled out his costume. Never leave home without it, he thought. He put on his costume quickly, because he wanted to win the race. Once he was done putting on his black costume, he looked at the domino mask. Batman had created the whole costume for him and Alex was extremely grateful that his mentor created such a thing. The domino mask was similar to a Crow's face. The nose part was narrow and the whole mask was black, it looked similar to Hawkgirl and Hawkman's but it was smaller and their were the black wings of the crow on the sides.
Alex ran back to Batman but found that Dante was already there. Dante stood proudly as he smirked at Alex while Alex frowned and slouched his way beside Dante.
Batman attempted to smile but it seemed awkward as he looked at the two, "Have you two come up with codenames?" He asked as he folded his arms.
Alex stepped up first, "Crow."
Dante stepped up beside him, "Shadow."
Alex looked at Dante, "Really?"
Dante didn't look at him, but just nodded as a response. Alex shrugged and let it go before he looked back at Batman.
Batman nodded and turned to the computer, images of a government building popped up as holograms. Shadow observed the building while Alex observed Batman with pride.
"The building is in Washington D.C." He started typing on the computer, "These are the coordinates."
Dante raised a eyebrow, but he looked at his glove as a beeping sound grabbed his attention. There were some buttons on there that he didn't see before. He pressed one of them and a holographic image of the building and where it was popped up in his face. He was amazed.
For Alex, it showed up in his mask. He was jumping for joy because it was so cool. Dante looked at him as if he was crazy, but Alex ignored him.
Batman turned around to the two, "Now go! Time is of the essence."
The two boys nodded and ran to the zeta tube. They said they wanted to go to Washington D.C and the voice ringed. It said their names, their identification numbers and then sent them to Washington D.C
Washington D.C
8:30 pm Est
Once there, the two ended up in another alleyway. Crow joked how the league could have placed these zeta tubes in better places. Shadow shook his head, jumped on a dumpster, and looked down at Crow.
"We need to get on the roof. From there we can get to the senators building more quickly." Shadow commanded Crow. Crow nodded and took out a little gun.
Shadow raised a eyebrow, "What's that?"
Crow looked at it and then grinned at Shadow, "It's a grappling gun." He demonstrated by pointing it upwards and shooting it. It landed on the edge of the roof. Crow flew up and waved good bye to Shadow with a cocky smirk on his face.
Shadow narrowed his eyes on Crow, "Show off." He jumped off the dumpster on to a fire escape. He hopped over the rail and went up the fire escape and in a couple of seconds he was now standing beside Crow.
Shadow looked at the holographic image of where the building was. He pinpointed that it was a couple of blocks ahead of them. He started running and Crow followed even though it was kind of hard for him to keep up. Shadow stopped running and Crow bumped into his back.
Crow rubbed his face because it hit Dante's elbow before he stepped out of his comrade's shadow to Dante's side. "Why did you stop?"
Shadow pointed to the building in front off them. There was a man sitting down doing some paperwork, "We're here and there's the target."
Crow knelt down to get a better view of the man, "Now what?"
"We wait."
A few minutes later, the man goes into the bathroom right next to his desk. The lights in the room go out, the moonlight could let the two see what's going on in the room. They see a woman crouching up to where the bathroom was. She leaned on the wall next to the door to the bathroom and was ready to kill the man as soon as he stepped out. Shadow reached for a arrow in his quiver and shot it into the window, it stuck to the wall and was to be used as a zip line. He put his bow over the line and jumped off the roof. While riding on the line, he put his feet up to kick any remaining glass in his way. He landed perfectly into the office and rolled before taking out another arrow while in the floor and shot it at Cheshire. She took out her collapsible katanas and cut the arrow in half.
She tilt her head as he looked at Shadow curiously with an amused look, "Who are you?" She asked as she slowly made her way towards him.
Shadow took out another arrow and cocked it back, "The person that is going to stop you."
She smirked from behind her mask, "I'd like to see that." She charged towards him and started attacking him.
Crow saw the two fighting from the rooftop. He didn't have anything to hook on to the zip line. He then remembered something he saw Batman do with his cape. He prayed to god to let him live because the gap between the buildings was pretty big. Crow took a deep breath, step back so that he can have a running start and then he started running. He jumped off the roof, spread his cape open and glided in the air. He glided through the window Shadow broke with both feet up and it crashed into Cheshire side, moving her to crash into a nearby wooden cabinet. Crow landed on his butt, but he quickly got up and looked at Shadow as if he accomplished something wonderful.
Cheshire got up to her feet and wiped the glass off her, "Two on one? Seems fair." She dashed towards them and swung her swords at them.
Crow got some minor cuts while Shadow was defending with his Bow. Cheshire kicked Shadow away and grabbed Crow's arm as he was about to throw a punch and threw him over a table. Once Shadow was kicked, he bounced off the wall and punched Cheshire on her mask. She stumble back and threw some shurikens at him. Shadow ran away from them, but one caught him on his cheek. He stopped running and wiped the blood off himself.
He looked at Cheshire, but felt nauseous, "W-What did y-you do?" he asked as he staggered back and forth.
Amused with the boy swaying back and forth, she couldn't help but to chuckle at his pain, "Jelly fish poison. You and your friend have been poisoned. You two won't last much longer against me. I suggest you two just lay down and watch me kill the man." She responded as she made her way to the bathroom where the Senator was hiding.
"No…" Shadow muttered. He closed his eyes and started crawling towards Cheshire. He took a deep breath and fixated his eyes on her before letting out a huge super sonic scream which shattered all of the glass in the room and raised the alarm. He smiled as he heard footsteps and then pounding on the door. He knew the guards were coming.
When Shadow let out that sonic scream, Cheshire held her ears and got on her knees. Crow stood up with the help of a chair and ran over to Cheshire aiming to stamp her face with his boot. After doing so, he slowly made his way over to Shadow after he determined that Cheshire was down for the count. He slowly picked Shadow up and put Shadow's arm over his shoulder. They turned around and Cheshire was no longer there. But there was something on the floor where she was.
"Get that." Shadow mumbled.
Crow nodded and went over to the device while dragging Shadow with him. He leaned Shadow against a drawer and knelt down. He picked up the device and put it in his pocket. He wrapped Shadow's arm over his shoulder again and the two somehow managed to escape the guards that burst in. They looked at the scene and wondered what happened. They opened the door in the bathroom to find the Senator on the toilet releasing some built up stress from the fight that happened outside his door.
Mount Justice
1:00 am Est
Shadow and Crow barely made it back to the base and noticed Batman walking towards them with something in his hand. Shadow had his eyes closed and Batman moved Shadow's head and injected something into his neck.
Shadow opened his eyes and looked at Batman, then at Crow, "How did we…" He tried walking, but was still a bit nauseous.
Batman looked at Shadow, "Don't worry. The poison is going to be out of your system in a matter of minutes."
Green Arrow was near the computer. He smiled and walked over to the two, "Good job guys. You saved the senator."
Batman walked back to his computer, "Barely." he muttered.
Green Arrow rolled his eyes, "He's proud as well," He looked back at Batman, "In his own grouchy way." Batman growled.
Green Arrow told Crow to let Shadow go. Shadow felt better and could stand on his own two feet. Green Arrow punched his shoulder, Shadow winced and smiled as Green Arrow congratulated him. Crow looked at the two and was jealous of their relationship. He looked at Batman and frowned knowing that kind of relationship wouldn't happen with the Dark Knight.
Crow walked up to Batman and took out the device he had found where Cheshire body should have been. He handed it to Batman, "This was where Cheshire was before she escaped."
Batman looked at the device curiously and then at Crow, "Thank you," He turned back to the computer and connected the device to it, "I will bypass the security measures and get back to you two on what I find." He brushed past Crow and walked up to Shadow, "I want you to lead this new team."
Shadow raised a eyebrow, "What new team? Why me?"
"You show potential. Plus, with the knowledge you obtained from Green Arrow, you can easily plan out tactics and issue commands. What do you say?"
Shadow shrugged after he got a thumbs up from Green Arrow, "Ok… But what team?"
Batman grinned and pointed to two figures behind Dante. Shadow eyes widened as he turned around and saw Tyreese and the girl who was talking to him in the cafeteria.
"Tyreese Young, codename Magma." Tyreese said as rock covered his body and then fire which made a magma armor.
"Madison Mayfield, codename," She shape shifted out her long brown hair into long black hair with red highlights while a girl stood behind her. The girl stood next to her and was a duplicate of her but with the brown hair she got rid of, "Clone."
Crow's eyes widened at the change of appearance and the clone that stood next to her. He then looked at Magma, the man who saved him earlier in the day turned out to be a hero. Shadow was amazed that the two were heroes but he also knew them from school. He then got it, whoever is in Beta team ends up at Star City High. He couldn't believe Batman and Green Arrow would keep this hidden from them, but he couldn't argue. He and Crow were definitely surprised.
Batman looked at the four, "Welcome to Beta."
In the Next episode of Young Justice...
