DISCLAIMER: I do not own Young Justice or anything associated with it. I own nothing but this story. This story includes my original characters, Devin Thompson, the Iron Legend, and Ryan Thompson, the Iron Bat.


Recognized. Iron Legend 1-8. Iron Bat B-0-6.

Ryan has just walked into the cave with his father, Devin. They have just gotten back from a long day in Central City. Ryan's had homework and Devin's had regular work. When they finished, they decided to go to the cave.

"Hey, Ryan!" Kid Flash speeds over to the father and son after hearing them announced.

"Hey, Wally!" Ryan says as he high-fives the speedster.

Recognized. Zatara 1-1. Zatanna Zatara A-0-3.

Giovanni and his daughter, Zatanna, walk out of the zeta tube. They stop to greet the group in front of them.

"Devin, it's been a while. How have you been?" Giovanni asks Devin.

"Busy. Mr. Wayne is asking a lot out of me. But, I'll manage. How have you been?" Devin asks in reply.

"Well, raising a daughter and saving the world from constant threats isn't the easiest thing, but like you said, I'll manage." The magician says.

"Hey, Zatanna." Ryan says.

"Hi, Ryan, Wally." Zatanna replies.

"Hmph!" Wally greets Zatanna with a mouth full of food. Zatanna and Ryan both laugh.

"Hey, Zee!" Robin walks into the room.

"Hey Robin." The magician's daughter replies, blushing all of a sudden.

"So, what brings you to the cave?" The boy wonder asks.

Zatanna leans in to whisper. So do the rest of the group. "I was hoping maybe you guys could kidnap me again."

"That can be arranged." Robin smirks.

Zatanna giggles. Then Giovanni walks over. "I don't think so. I'm not letting her out of my sight this time!" Zatara says.

"Aw. Come on, Dad!" Zatanna says.

Giovanni shakes his head. "After the stunt you pulled the last time you were here, though it produced results, I'm not sure I can trust you around them."

"I promise Dad, this time, we're just going to have fun. We don't have a missing android to look for this time!" Zatanna says.

"Yeah! We promise we won't leave Happy Harbor!" Robin says. Ryan and Wally agree.

Zatara takes a moment to think. "Fine. But be back in the cave by six o'clock!"

"Thank you, Dad!" Zatanna hugs her father and then runs to find the rest of the team. Robin and Wally follow. Ryan looks at Giovanni and shrugs. He presses a button on his belt which makes his Iron Batsuit form around him. He flies over to follow his friends.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Artemis says, after hearing that they're 'kidnapping' Zatanna again.

"Actually, I think we did the whole 'kidnapping' thing wrong last time." Ryan explains.

"What did we do wrong?" Zatanna asks, a little worried and a little excited at the same time.

"I'm pretty sure it's not technically called kidnapping unless the kidnapee gets tied up." Ryan says with a smirk.

"He's right." Robin says, with an even bigger smirk.

"Well then…" Zatanna begins. "Evig su sepor!" Ropes appear in front of her. She puts her hands behind her back. "Tie me up!"

The team gets to work, tying the girl up. Zatanna seems to enjoy it, somehow, and is laughing the whole time. She'll even use her magic to make a binding tighter, or "Rethgit," if she thinks she can get out of it. When they're done, Zatanna is in a tie that's impossible to get out of.

"I think we're forgetting something." Wally says.

"I know what we're missing." Ryan says. "Zatanna, can you give me some duct tape?"

"Evig mih tcud epat!" A roll of duct tape appears in Ryan's hand. He goes to gag the poor damsel when Robin stops him.

"There's one thing I wanna do that would make this totally asterous!" The boy wonder says. He walks over to the damsel, who has no idea what the boy means. He stops in front of her and plants his lips on hers. He kisses her passionately, and the poor girl can't do anything to stop him. The group just stares at them. When Robin finally stops and walks away, Zatanna is taken so aback that she can't even speak for about five seconds.

"Wait, Robin, what was tha- mmmmph!" Zatanna tries to ask her question, but Ryan puts duct tape over her mouth before she can finish. Ryan then picks the damsel up and carries her onto the bioship. Everyone follows and they take flight.


That's chapter One! Please leave a review. There's more to come! :)
