This is my first Young Justice Story. Hope you like it! I don't own Young Justice! Or the characters!
The team gets sent to Skaneateles Lake, being told there is a high level of radiation. But in the cleanest lake in the United States? ArtemisxWally ConnerxMegan WallyxOC
My OC is not technically me. You know how normally when someone makes an OC, it's usually them…well this girl isn't she's just there to fill in the cracks I guess.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
You might have seen this story before, on the account AlexMalfoy77, and that account is me! It's broken so I need to republish them. I'm not stealing this story, its mine. If you have any questions you can PM me or something.
"You are unbelievable!" A loud voice echoed through the halls of Mount Justice.
"It was not my fault! I told everyone to clear the track twenty minutes ago!" A deeper voice boomed.
Moments later, Wally West and Artemis burst into the kitchen; the two people sitting on the couch snapped their heads up to watch the scene. Artemis was limping, an angry look plastered across her face. Wally looked equally angry, but his eyes also showed amusement. Both were wearing sweatbands and sweatpants, like they had just had a workout.
"Wally, you can break the sound barriers in you sneakers, I figured you would have run a mile in less than twenty minutes!" Artemis huffed.
Wally spread his arms in defense, "Of course, that's why I keep running until I tire. I was just getting warmed up."
"Like I said before- unbelievable."
Robin got up from the couch and leaned against the counter, "What happened?"
Artemis pulled a pack of ice from the freezer and set in on her ankle. "The Wall-man trampled me."
"No, she got in my way." Wally turned by towards Artemis, who was sitting on the counter now. "It was not my fault. You weren't being logical."
Artemis and Robin groaned.
Wally had been running around the track, his figured blurred enough to appear invisible. Artemis- not seeing Wally- began to run. Therefore, Wally kept running and crashed into her, spraining her ankle in the process.
"Seriously. Artemis, you didn't see me anywhere around Mount Justice, I told I was going to use the track, I am also a speedster—really Artemis put them all together."
"Whatever," she rolled her eyes and removed her ice pack and winced. "Its definetly sprained."
Megan shot a look at Wally and the speedster sighed.
"I'm sorry….that you got in the way of my training."
Artemis grunted, "Idiot!"
"Calm down, Batman has a new mission for us." Kaldur said as he walked into the room, Conner on his heels.
"Really?" Robin perked up.
"Yes." Conner said, leaning against the wall, "Really."
"And he would like us now." Kaldur said already heading towards the door.
"Right." Artemis said and pulled herself off the counter.

Everyone nodded, but Wally scratched his head, "Yeah um, isn't that like…the governments job to check out radiation levels?"
Five people in the room sighed.
Batman nodded, "Right. Normally, they would check it out. But they've asked us too."
"Why?"
"Skaneateles Lake is the cleanest lake in the United States. Nobody, and I mean nobody, would dare to try and pollute it."
"So something's up," Kaldur clarified, obviously disturbed by the pollution of water.
"Yes. So, in the morning you'll have a flight to New York. Stay in a hotel for a week, hang around the park, ask the locals, but find out why and how the lake is getting polluted. I don't care if a tank of gas was accidently dumped in the Lake or someone is tossing dead bodies in there, you will find out."
"Yes sir." Wally stammered.
"Go pack."
"So, you want us to look like normal people?" Megan asked, looking down at her emerald skin. Then she pursed her lips and her skin changed to a tanned color. "How's that."
"It's perfect." Wally stated, winking at her.
Megan blushed and Artemis moved to hit Wally upside the head, muttering something about being a total idiot.
"Go. Pack." Batman repeated.

"Ohh, look at this." Wally flexed a finger, grazing the action figure that was supposed to be of his uncle, though his suite was a bright pink- not red.
"Wally, don't touch." Megan snatched his hand away. "Our rooms are on the fifth floor."
Robin groaned, "I don't want to share a room with Kid Flash."
"It's okay," Wally waggled his eyebrows, "I'm willing to switch rooms with Arty."
"No." Conner said, eyeing Wally.
"Over protective much." He muttered.
All of them climbed into the elevator, and Kaldur pressed the button with the glowing number 5. Wally automatically started whistling along with the elevator music; Artemis started tapping her foot to the beat, Robin tapping the wall and Megan clucking her tongue. Conner's eye twitched as he glanced at the auburn haired girl standing next to him.
Annoying.
"Ahem."
The elevator doors had opened, and there stood a girl, about 16 or 17 years old. Her hair long and dark, braided over her shoulder. Her eyes were the same color as Wally's. His jaw dropped.
"Is this the fifth floor? Cause I can so deal with rooming with Robin if it is." He grinned stupidly at the girl as he spoke.
She blushed, "No, this is the fourth floor. But It's a small hotel, I'm sure we'll see enough of each other."
"Cool."
The elevator doors started to shut and she rushed to stop it. "I'm going to the fifth floor too; my boyfriend is staying up there."
"Boyfriend?" Wally stuttered.
"Ha!" Artemis laughed.
"Yeah." The girl squeezed into the elevator. "So, let me guess, you guys are here to see the lake. People have been buzzing in ever since news spread that is was polluted, but it makes no sense to me. I mean, why people would want to come and see a polluted lake, I have no idea."
"Wait a moment," Kaldur moved to see her face, "People here know about the pollution of the lake?"
She scoffed, "Of course. They have the entire lake taped off. Lots of people still come to the park though, mostly to see if the rumors are true."
The elevator beeped and the doors slid open. All of them climbed out, and the team turned right. The girl turned left but turned around and waved goodbye.
"This mission will definetly be a success with her around."
"Move it, Wall-man."
The rooms were small with two single beds, a small bathroom, and a dresser with a microwave and TV on top. Wally and Robin were to share a room, Megan and Artemis and Conner and Kaldur too. In Kaldur and Conner's room there was a picture of a man eating fish in front of Skaneateles Lake. Kaldur ripped the painting in half and stuffed the pieces underneath Wally's bed.
The sun was setting and Wally flopped down on his bed and it squealed underneath his weight. Robin sat down on his bed and flicked on the TV. Moments later, Artemis came barging through the door holding a pillow in her hand; she looked around the room and tossed the pillow at the sleeping form on the bed.
"Get up!" She hollered.
Wally jumped out of bed, and ran to Artemis shoving his face in hers, "You do realize this is a hotel, right? You cannot just scream you lungs out like that."
"We have a mission to do you know."
"Yeah, and we can start tomorrow. I'm tired, Artemis." Wally turned around to walk to his bed but she snatched his wrist.
"Nope. We start right now. Me and you. We've got to go around asking the visitors about things they've seen."
He groaned, "Right now?"
"Yeah."
"Fine, let me change."
Artemis rolled her eyes and turned to leave, but she stopped and turned around, "Dress warm. It's kind of chilly out."
His eyes narrowed, but he nodded.
Later they met in the lobby; the sun had just set. Artemis was wrapped in a leather jacket, Wally only a hoodie. She rolled her eyes at him, not caring the least if he froze.
"Let's start with the people staying at the hotel."
He nodded, following Artemis.

Skaneateles Lake is actually one of the cleanest freshwater lakes and river In the United States. Except there isn't a park, it's actually a very nice neighborhood. But I changed it up a bit for my story. I hope you enjoyed it. It was kind of rushed. The next chapter will be much better.
