AN: This is my first young justice story which is one of my favorite shows of all time. There will be couples from the show season's 1 and 2. This story takes place in an alternate universe and no one has any powers. There will be some OC's in here and I promise to update as much as I can with this story and my other stories and I would like to know what you think so review. Now, on with the story.

Chapter 1- How it all started

The year is currently 2006 in El Paso, Texas

It was a brisk autumn Friday morning. The birds were singing happy songs, the leaves were falling gracefully, and everything today was perfect. At least in the view of a young spirited 5 year old by the name of Angel Dynamite.

Her alarm clock beeped the dreaded wake up call and flashed 6:00. She stretched her hand and silenced it. Usual people hate waking up early in the morning, but not Angel. Her eyes opened wide with a big smile on her face.

Angel is six years old, with sapphire eyes, white tannish skin, and long red hair that ends in the middle of her back, currently in a braid. She threw off her blue comforter with white angel wings in the middle and it landed on the floor. She walked over to her dresser with a mirror built into it and looked at her sort messed up hair and white t-shirt white gray sweat pants of pj's.

She sat down at her dresser and took out her braid and started to brush. Once she finished brushing she went to her closet and picked her outfit for school. When she was ready for school she was wearing a hot pink short sleeve shirt with a blue jean overall dress that ended at her knees, hot pink Capri's, and light blue converse high-tops. Her hair was down, straight, with a purple butterfly Beret keeping hair out of her face and her white locket that her mother gave her adored her neck.

She walked out of her room and down the wooden steps into the kitchen to grab what she needed for school. When she walked in she saw her dad passed out in a chair with his head tilt back, and a bunch of beer cans on the table around him. By the stove her mother was making pancakes, still in the clothes she slept in and unbrushed hair.

"Morning mommy," Angel said while walking over to her mother.

"Hello sweetheart." Her mother said giving her daughter a hug and kiss.

"Daddy went to a party last night again?" Angel asked looking at her father.

"Yup." Her mother responded looking at her husband. "Just give me a minute so I can give you some pancakes to go."

Angel walked to the table and grabbed her Vera Bradley backpack off the chair next to her father. "Don't forgot to give me extra for cupid!" Angel yelled walking back over to her mom.

Mrs. Dynamite grabbed a big Ziploc bag and put in 6 pancakes. "Here you go my little angel."

"Thanks mom, you're the best." Angel exclaimed then gave her mom a hug.

"Oh, thank you for that sweetheart." She responded, then ended the embrace. "You better hurry, Cupid should be here in..." There was a knock on the door. "Now, goodbye sweetheart."

"Good bye mother." Angel responded while heading to the door with her backpack and pancakes.

She went to the door and opened it to find her best friend cupid.

"Cupid!"

"Angel!"

"EEEEEEHHHHHHHH!" They said in unison, then hugged each other.

Cupid is as old as Angel and they have been friends for years. Cupid had shoulder length pink curly hair, pale skin, and hazel eyes. Today she was wearing a light pink dress with gold hearts all over it, a gold charm bracelet, and gold flats that covered her toes and heel with a strap around her ankle to keep the shoes their.

"It is so good to see you again." Angel exclaimed and ended the embrace. "How was Venezuela?"

"Borrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg! Mainly because I couldn't be there with my best friend." Angel giggled, stepped outside and shut the door behind her.

"Well tell me all about your trip on the way to school." She said as they walked down the steps and onto the sidewalk on their venture to school.

"Okay, sure"

"Pancake, mom made them." Angel said opening the bag for cupid to grab one.

"Oh sure, I love her pancakes." And they walked, talked, and ate on their way to school.

They finally got to school with plenty of time to spare and finished all the pancakes. They go to El Paso elementary and are in 1st grade.

"So that was pretty much my whole trip. About the only good part of in was missing a month of school."

"You do know you will have to make up all of your work, right."

"I already did, but now that I am back I can focus on my life's goal." Cupid exclaimed as they walked into school.

"One," Angel said holding up a finger, "you're not a Greek god so you can't become a real life cupid. And two," now holding up 2 fingers, "who do you have for homeroom?"

"I will, you will see, and Mrs. Hawkins."

"So do I, I can show you her homeroom."

"Cool let's go." Cupid practically shouted and they dashed down the hall. When they got there, most of the class was there.

"And I think I will start being Cupid by helping, you." Cupid said pointing to Angel as they sat down next to each other.

"How, I don't like anyone."

"Oh, really, how about him?" Cupid asked gesturing to the boy 2 rows over from Angel. That boy, was Jaime Reyes.

Jaime was a few months older than Angel and has brown eyes, dark skin, and black shaggy hair. He is wearing a plain white shirt with a gray hoodie, blue jeans and sneakers.

"Jaime? No, no, you're nuts."

"Call me crazy, but i think he might have a crush on you."

"Okay cupid, you're crazy."

"Trust me, by the time we finish all of our years of school, you 2 will be dating." Cupid stated, and put her hands on her hips.

"Fine, but if we are not, you have to give up trying to be cupid." Angel said getting a notebook out of her backpack.

"Fine, but if you 2 are, then i get to plan your wedding for who ever you get married to." Cupid said with a big old grin.

"Deal"

"Deal"

Then they shook hands, next the teacher walked in and class started.

It is currently after school and Angel was walking home just feeling extra happy today. She had a little extra height going up the stairs to her house and opened and closed quietly even with all of her excitement.

"Mom, I'm home!" She exclaimed knowing her mom was home because she is sick still.

"Mom?" This time more of a question. "Are you home?" She asked in case she was wrong.

She walked into the kitchen and found a note their with her name on it. She ran over to the letter and started to read.

'Dear My little Angel,

I had a great chat this morning and you looked so beautiful. That is how I wish to remember you and I hope that you never forgot me. The reason I have written this letter is because I have bad news which no kid should experience especially at your age. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with lung cancer. I have managed to hold it off for this long but I went to the doctors 2 months ago. He said I had only had more months 2 live and this is my final day in the land of the living.

Do not be too sad, as long as you always wear the locket I gave you, you will always remember me. And if you ever need anything I have a secret bank account with 5.8 million dollars in it if you ever need anything under your name. Their are 2 things I wish for you to do for me:

1. Take whatever i put on the will for you and then send the will to grandma

2. Do not tell your father, he will just get angry about that and you don't need that.

Please follow these instructions and know that i will always love you.

Love your mother.'

By the time angel was done reading the letter her face was stained with tears flowing down her face. She stuck the note into her pocket and wiped her face knowing her dad would be home any minute now.

She then opened the fridge and grabbed a water bottle. She closed the fridge and when she opened it the front door opened and her father walked in luckily not drunk(well not that drunk).

"Hello Angel, where's your mother" her dad asked hastily.

"Um, she got a call from her sister that she has cancer and went to help her so she will be gone a while, like a year or 2." Angel said trying not to let her father now that she is lying.

"I can't believe this," Her dad said shocked.

"Yeah, it's depressing." Angel said feeling very sad.

"Not that, the fact that your mother would just up and leave me to take care of you ya brat."

"Dad calm down"

"That horrible women, how could she do such a thing" Her father then got up, grabbed a empty glass bottle and threw it at the wall.

"Daddy, please stop, you're scaring me."

He walked over to her "Shut up," and slapped her straight across the face.

She then got up and ran up stairs. She ran into her room, slammed the door, and slid down it sobbing.

Now Angel was hoping this would whole situation would look up for her.
