Young Justice:

Titans of Tomorrow

Prologue: Days Of Future Dark

London, 2116

"Vandal Savage," said Rip Hunter, a Time Master, as he looked at the Council of Time with a desperate look. "An evil dictator blessed with immortality. He has achieved what no one in human history ever has. He's conquered the entire planet…"

One of the Time Master looked at Rip Hunter with disdain. "We know, Master Hunter. Billions have been killed by him, the greatest villain of all time. But our task is to protect the timeline, not humanity…"

Rip lost his patience. "The purpose of us looking after the timeline is to protect humanity. And there will be little humanity left after Savage is done with us."

"And what would you have us do?" asked another Time Master.

"Assemble a group of heroes from the past," said Rip Hunter, convinced. "Assemble a league of titans that will help us undo what Savage has done."

"The Justice League perished when battling Darkseid of Apokolips in the year 2018. We cannot change their fates. Although they defeated Darkseid, their lives are destined by Time to perish…"

Rip nodded and walked around. "Yes, there is little chance of changing the fate of the Justice League. However, I'm not talking about the Justice League… I know we've seen Men of Steel die and Dark Knights fall but…"

"Master Hunter," said a Time Master with disdain. "We cannot grant you your wish."

Rip was completely upset. "Just give me a time vessel, I'll destroy Savage myself."

"Sorry," said the Time Master. "But we cannot grant you your wish… we cannot alter History."

With a disillusioned sigh, Rip Hunter walked away.

Rip was watching his world burn as drones and ships and powerful machines of destruction set London on fire. The Second Blitz. All Rip wanted to do was to go back in time and stop Vandal, all he wanted to do was, eventually, to fix the timeline and stop the greatest villain of all time. Without the Justice League, there was no hope.

But they died in 2018 when the forces of Parademons of Apokolips and Darkseid invaded Earth. Although the battle was a victory for Earth, the Justice League, most of them, perished in the attack. Just a few survived and those who did were maimed. There was little hope.

"Rip Hunter," said a woman's voice and Rip Hunter looked up, just to see the only two remaining Justice Leaguers. Hawkman and Hawkwoman.

Hawkwoman looked at Rip Hunter with hope in her voice. "Any luck?"

"No," said Rip in frustration as he banged his head on the wall. "The Time Masters will not cede a time vessel to go to the past and retrieve the League."

Hawkman punched the same wall. "Savage got us beaten then. The Light will forever rule the world and destroy it."

Hawkwoman looked down with regret. "Hawkman and I are the only living Leaguers left… and we are not enough."

Rip, however, was not defeated. He got out a small device from his pocket and activated it. It showed the holographic image of a woman's head. "Gideon."

"Yes, Master Hunter?" asked the computer. "How can I help you?"

"How do we build a time machine without a chronal radiator." Asked Hunter with a sigh, and little hope. "The Time Master have in custody all the Chronal Reactors, but if we can build one…"

Gideon nodded. "We would need a speedster…"

Rip looked down and closed his eyes. "Of course, a Speedster to hang on the Speed Force and open a wormhole. But the only speedster in this era is…"

"Eobard Thawne," said Gideon and looked at her master. "Not a good option, for he is a madman…"

Hawkwoman looked down in regret. "Then there is nothing we can do…"

"Sheira," said Hawkman and put a hand over his spouse. "If we had known Savage and the Light…"

"It's too late now", said Hawkwoman in regret. "The world is doomed."

Suddenly, there was a beeping noise coming from Gideon's computer.

Rip Hunter looked at his A.I. companion. "What's going on Gideon?"

"I'm sensing a wormhole being opened in the Artic," said Gideon with a hopeful voice.

"Bloody Hell," said Rip Hunter in surprise. "How can that be?"

"A miracle," said Hawkwoman with a smile. "A miracle…"

Rip looked at Gideon. "Gideon, jam the Time Master's signals before they get a hold of the Wormhole. We're going there first…"

Hunter looked at the Hawks. "Let's go to the Artic and find out what has happened…"

Rip Hunter, Hawkwoman and Hawkman landed their vessel on the artic, which was now mostly melted and a greenzone.

There was a wormhole there, and it closed. Rip Hunter gasped. He couldn't believe his luck, they arrived too late. The wormhole closed and there was no way to use it to go to the past.

"We're too late," said Rip Hunter in regret.

Hawkman extended his hand an pointed at a figure that was lying unconscious over the ice. "No, look…"

Rip Hunter rushed towards the unconscious body. It was a yellow and red uniformed man.

Hawkwoman's eyes opened wide. "Impossible…"

The young man opened his eyes and looked up. He saw Rip Hunter and Hawkwoman and Hawkman. He was a redhead.

"Urg… man…" said the young man in a headache. "And I thought Roy's bachelor party was the only time I'd get a headache like this…"

Hawkman was astonished. "Wallace West…"

Wally looked up and saw Rip Hunter, who he didn't know, and Hawkwoman and Hawkman. "Hawks… you're back from Rimbor… did… did we win?"

Rip Hunter then understood. He knew full well who was Wallace Rudolph West. "Kid Flash…"

"Yes… and who are you?" asked Wally, confused.

"I know this will be difficult for you to fathom, but… you're in the year 2116.", said the Time Master with a resolute look. "You've travelled 150 years into the future…"

"Wait… what?" asked Wally in shock, trying to understand. "I don't get it…"

Rip Hunter looked at his computer and summoned Gideon. "Gideon, do you know what happened?"

"According to history records, Wallace West AKA Kid Flash, died when the Reach Invasion tried to destroy the world," said Gideon. "No body was recovered, he just vanished… if I am correct, I can assume the MFD's boosted his speed, allowing him to tap into the Speed Force, which led him to a wormhole that transported him here…"

Wally looked confused. "I'm ten shades of confused right now…"

Rip Hunter smiled and helped Wally up. "My name is Rip Hunter, and you, Wallace West, are going to change history… mate…"

"Um, I am?" asked Wally, confused.

Rip Hunter looked at Gideon. "Gideon, program the Waverider for time travel. With Kid Flash's Speed Force, we can harness the power to time travel. We're going to stop Savage…"

Wally looked at the Hawks. "Anyone mind filling me in?"

"You, my friend, are going to become a Legend," said Rip Hunter as he turned to Wally. "You see, after you vanished… the Justice League perished and Vandal Savage gained control of humanity. But with your Speed Force, we can go back in time to prevent in all. Assemble the Team…"

"My Team?" asked Wally.

"No, a new Team… offspring of your team," said Rip Hunter. "We're going to create… Titans…"

So, liked it? This is my version of Season 3, gaining inspiration from "DC's Legends of Tomorrow" and following my own storyline.

Should I follow through?
