"Team." Batman brushed in brusquely.

Artemis, Kaldur, Connor, M'gann, Zatanna, and Wally looked to the Dark Knight. Today Robin was gone on family business, something about his mom…? Anyway, it was about noon when Batman had suddenly appeared, and the whole team was vying for their baby bird back… even though it had only been a day.

"Batman…? When is Robin going to come back?" M'gann asked tentatively. Batman glared for a moment.

"Two weeks." He said gruffly. "In the meantime, you will be receiving a new team member to compensate him."

This immediately peaked everyone's interest.

"Who?" Wally asked.

"Meet in the mission room in five, wearing uniforms."

Five minutes later, everyone met as directed.

Batman was looking at the screen before turning to the teenagers.

"So… who is it?" Wally asked again eagerly.

Just then the Zeta decided to speak up. "Wonder Woman: 06."

"Wonder Woman?" Artemis asked, perplexed.

The Amazon appeared, stoic and beautiful, and smiled softly at the young archer. "No." She said. "My son has decided to see the man's world. I have agreed that the best protection for him would be with you for the week he is here."

The Team exchanged horrified looks. They already had enough pressure avoiding Daddy!Bats, but Mama!Wonder?! That is just… gah! They didn't get any longer to ponder as the zeta tube spoke up again: "Wonderboy: B08."

Before the light even faded, a ball of energy was flying through the air, straight into Batman.

"Hey Bats!" came a chipper voice. The team froze in shock.

They'd expected an older person, this one seemed twelve or thirteen- and also seemed to act more like it, unlike their Rob.

As he came into focus, it turned out he was really cute too. Scruffy black hair framed long lashed blue-blue eyes, they looked like Wonder Woman's, but darker, multi-colored, and almost metallic. He had a huge grin, and, like Wonder Woman, a gold circlet adorned above his brow. He had her signature braces, silver perfectly molded to his wrists. A faintly glowing rope hung at his waist, black knee high boots accented navy blue leggings. He had a red sleeveless shirt with the Wonder symbol on it, and overall, he looked like an adorable little mini version of Wonder Woman- and gender-bent, but still.

Batman gently pushed him away. "Yes. Hello." The Team paled, what would force Batman to be so… nice?

The Dark Knight turned to the Team. "You have a few hours to be acquainted. Then you will be going on your first mission." He then brushed out, the zeta tube announcing his exit.

The kid turned to face the Team, a little blush sprinkling over his nose. He waved his hand shyly. "H-hi. I'm Aristarchos of Themyscira. You can just call me Ari."

"Artemis." Artemis said offhandedly. Ari's eyes widened.

"B-But I've met Artemis… my lady?"

Artemis looked up, shocked. "No! No, I'm named after Artemis, I'm not Artemis the goddess…"

Wonder Woman gave a little chuckle. She turned to the Team. Her eyes went dangerous. "Protect him." She left after that, and Ari looked slightly anxious.

"So, you're Artemis, but not the Goddess?" he ventured to ask.

"Yeah."

"I am Aqualad."

"Wally West."

"M'gann! And he's Connor." The Martian giggled.

"I am Zatanna, you remind me of someone." The magician considered.

The paradox Amazon smiled lightly. "Well… Metéra is very protective, not to get you started on my Giagiá… so probably not. As I said, my name's Ari."

"It is wonderful to meet you, Ari. As I said, my name is Kaldur'ahm, however, you may call me Kaldur if you so please."

"Why thank you!" Ari looked at them all. "I think... would you mind some get-to-know-each-other games?"

The team shrugged, causing a smile to flit across his face. "Alright! I'll show you my favorite one- the one commonly played in Themyscira!"

"And what's that?" Zatanna asked. Ari grinned... almost... sadistically.

"Well, before we begin, I must ask: for your safety, do you have a med-bay here?"

Soooo...

something that has been sitting on my computer a while now. Yeeee. Anyway, this is an AU, it won't be TOO long (then again, A Whole New World wasn't suppose to be very long either, and look where that got us XD), so don't worry. I guess I just needed to get something out here as I'm having some writer's block. Hopefully I'll get past it, mm?

ANYWAY! The story! I'm excited for this! It's not a big story, won't take long, but will be fast-paced and frequently updated! Reviews will be much loved, so help me out, would you please? Thanks so much, guys!
