A/N: This fic came out of a prompt that I received on Tumblr. Basically she wanted me to write something where her RP character joined the Young Justice team, and so this fic was born :D It got a lot longer than I thought it would be. I never thought I would be doing a multi chapter fic. Anywho, here it is. Reviews are much appreciated because I am still a pretty new writer.
Onwards!
.oO Oo.
The mountain was almost completely silent. No sounds of laughing or training filled the air. There was none of the usual burnt cookie smell that normally hung around the kitchen area either. The place could have been empty.
The quiet was shattered by the whir of the zeta beam as it came to life. "Recognised Nightwing B1" came the cool female voice. The familiar silhouette of the former boy wonder slowly appeared as he walked through the portal opening. With a single glance he took in the empty room before turning to the control panel situated by the entrance to the zeta tube. After a couple of seconds of vigorous typing the disembodied voice spoke again "Override Nightwing B1, recognised Spoiler B17" He turned again so he was facing the tube and held his breath as the machine began to start up. He was really hoping that this would go down well.
.oO Oo.
Stephanie Brown, aka Spoiler, rocked on her heels as she waited by a disused phone box. If someone had told her 2 months ago that she would one day meet the Young Justice team and even join their ranks she would have said they were crazy. Yet here she was. Her hands reached for her deep purple hood for the 10th time that minute. It was a nervous habit of hers. "Get a hold of yourself" She muttered under her breath as she clasped her hands together to stop herself from fiddling with any other aspect of her costume. Suddenly a light appeared from within the phone box and after a second a computerised female voice spoke, "Recognised Spoiler B17".
This is it she told herself and with a deep breath she opened the door and walked into the light.
Getting transported by a zeta beam was an unusual experience. There wasn't any pain or even any discomfort like she thought there would be. Instead she felt warm and then there was a rushing sensation. When the blinding light finally started to disperse around her, Stephanie found herself in a large cavernous space, very unlike the dingy back ally she had been standing in a second ago.
"Wow" She whispered "Just...wow" She found herself rubbing her arms as residual tingling swept through her body.
"Don't worry about the tingling, you'll get used to it" A voice came from beside her
She jumped. She had been so caught up with the size of the place that she had totally missed the fact that Nightwing was standing right next to her. He raised an eye brow as she quickly righted herself.
"So err... where is everyone?" She asked trying to cover up how jumpy she was.
"Around" He replied as he walked towards the centre of the room. Steph followed him, still looking around in wonder. Nightwing taped something on his arm and suddenly half a dozen big screens appeared, hanging suspended in the air. Steph couldn't stop her eyes from widening and a grin flashed across her face. This place was so cool.
"Now," Said Nightwing, turning so that his whole body faced the shorter girl in front of him "remember what I told you. The team is still grieving. It's only been two weeks since we lost... it hit us all really hard, so try not to judge them on how they are acting right now."
Steph looked up at the masked man in front of her. He looked so sad and worn down, like he was carrying the world on his shoulders.
"Are you sure that now is the right time Nightwing?" She asked. Even though this was everything she had wanted, she didn't want to be here if she wasn't welcome.
"Yes," His voice was suddenly strong "The team needs this, they can't carry on the way they are going. They need to get back in the game."
He then pressed another button on his arm and spoke. Steph jumped again as his voice suddenly boomed out from everywhere.
"Team meeting in the training room in 5, I've got news. Nightwing out"
"What now?" Steph asked, her hands once again clutching her hood.
"Now we wait" He responded
