I do not own Naruto or anything from DC comics.

Naruto woke up with a start. His heart trying to beat out of his chest, and his breath coming out in rapid gasps. His eyes flying over the area, looking for threats that only exist in his mind. His left eye in particular seemed to notice every single detail and burnt it into his memory. His breathing calmed and his heart slowed, realizing he only had a nightmare. A nightmare that made him relive the event that brought him to this...universe.

He sighed and sat up, closing his new left eye. A gift from his late teacher. Despite his attempts to ward off his painful memories, they came back. He saw the remnants of his old home, nothing left but blood and flame and a sensei's sacrifice.

He stood up and stretched, finally managing to banish the memories.

Knowing sleep was a lost cause, he shrugged off his old clothes and replaced them with an orange hooded sweatshirt and dark blue jeans. He grabbed his black face mask and pulled his hood on.

He carefully climbed out of the shattered window, then walked on the walls up to the dilapidated roof.

Opening his sensei's eye, he looked out and around for just a moment before shutting it. "Slow night." He muttered softly, a bit disappointed. He wanted to let off some steam. Thugs made great punching bags.

"People are just scared of him." A young sounding voice commented. Naruto quickly turned around to find the source. He tried not to show his surprise as the bright colors and cape registered in his mind. He didn't care too much about the person wearing the bright clothes; he cared a lot more about the...person to his right.

"What do you call yourself?" A gruff voice asked. "Kage." Naruto answered, his moniker being a tribute to those leaders who died to protect their home. "You are Batman and Robin." He continued, showing that further introductions weren't necessary.

"You're skilled, and you have impressive abilities. There's a new team being put together. If you really want to help people, then you'll agree to join." Batman said bluntly.

Naruto tried not to let his excitement show. Forcing himself not to begin shouting in Japanese about just how excited he was, he simply said, "Sure, where do I...sign up?" He asked hesitantly. His grasp on English still wasn't perfect. Shadow clones and the sharingan helped a great deal though. Batman tossed him a piece of paper with an address on it. "Meet there tomorrow." Batman ordered.

Naruto blinked and then Batman and Robin were gone. He allowed himself to smile; tomorrow would be a good day!
