I am happy to say that I will be needing a beta that knows what they are doing and has intimate (But no need to be an expert or whatnot,) knowledge of DC characters and their quirks. A Beta willing to be a co-author would be nice, as I have no real experience with writing fight scenes. (Well, I do, but I suck, horribly so – you will know what I mean when you read the chapter if I decide to go with my first draft/idea.) I am still relatively new to writing anything DC related, so characters will tend to get a bit ooc.
Oh. Right. One more thing; please tell me if I had missed anything, even though I did edited this over five times before posting because I couldn't decided a City he'll protect and was rather picky with his Alter Ego name and about his powers (mostly if I wanted to give him any or not), and just so you know, I will have a final note at the bottom to say something about the City I had (finally) decided upon.
But seriously, AU QUALTIES!
WARNING: There will be a slash / boy x boy / yaoi pairing in the future, OOC, dark, possible (maybe just implied) graphic gore and violence, implied sexual content (maybe later on), minor character deaths (but important enough to be mentioned!), excessive puns and lame comebacks (for villains and heroes alike when it comes to talking back to Firaga. LOL, JK.) Some other stuff I cannot be bothered to put down, as I cannot think of anything else right now.
| MOUNT JUSTICE: JULY 8TH, 08:04 EDT |
"This cave was the original secret sanctuary of the Justice League. We are calling it into service again, since you four are determined to stay together and fight the good fight." Batman turned towards the young heroes that are dressed in civvies, his eyes narrowed. "You will do it on League terms.
"Red Tornado volunteered to live here and be your supervisor, Black Canary is in charge of training. I will deploy you on missions."
"Real missions?" Robin, the protégé of Batman himself, the first young hero, the boy wonder, asked.
"Yes," Batman took a step towards the young heroes, "But covert."
"The League will still handle the obvious stuff," The Flash, the fastest man alive, stated, causing Kid Flash, the fastest boy alive, to turn to look towards his mentor, along with the other three young heroes. "There's a reason why we have these targets on our chest." He said pointing towards the symbol on his chest.
"But Cadmus proves that the bad guys are getting smarter," Aquaman said, "Batman needs a team to operate on the slide." He stated, looking towards Batman.
"The five of you will be that team." Batman spoke.
"Cool!" Robin exclaimed, before he realized, "Wait, five?"
Batman merely stared before looking behind them, causing them to turn around as well, "This is the Martian Manhunter's niece, Miss Martian."
Miss Martian grabbed her right arm with her left hand, before waving at them with a gentle smile, "Hi."
"Liking this gig more every minute," Kid Flash said to Robin, his best friend, to whom was smirking at Wally in respond, before he moved towards Miss Martian. "Welcome aboard, I'm Kid Flash." He pointed his thumb towards himself before pointing at Robin to whom responded with the sign-language word for love that are regularly used by people at concerts, "That's Robin." Before moving onto Aqualad who nodded, "And that's Aqualad, its cool if you forget their names."
"I'm honored to be included," Miss Martian said.
Kid Flash, Robin, Aqualad all moved towards Miss Martian to get to know her better, but Robin noticed Superboy, the Cadmus clone of Superman, "Hey, Superboy, come meet Miss M."
Superboy looked up and moved over towards them, and when he stopped infront of Miss Martian, Miss Martian changed her cape and shirt into a shirt with a red X, "I like your t-shirt."
Superboy looked at her shirt, before looking up with a smile, but the faded when Robin elbowed him in the chest with a teasing smile, but it appeared again when Kid Flash speeded over and placed his arm around Superboy and placed a hand on his shoulder with a grin in a friendly manner.
"Today is the day," Aqualad stated with a smile.
"Yes, it is. But there is one more thing, possibly another member, if you choose to accept him in the Team." Batman said, he turned his head in the direction of Kid Flash, "Some of you may know him."
Blinking, other Leaguers besides Red Tornado and Black Canary, turned towards Batman in confusion, while the younger heroes grinned, Kid Flash asked, "Who?"
"Firaga, the protector of – "
"OhmyGod, ISAYYES!" Kid Flash spoke, though only Flash understood what he said and while confused as he frowned at Batman, he nudged his protégé. "Oh. Er, I mean, yes, I want him to join."
Robin scoffed before speaking, "That guy? Sure, someone may need to save Kid Mouth here." Robin snickered, though only Kid Flash and Batman knew he was halfway serious while Flash frowned more deeply, knowing there was a story there but willing to wait until they get home.
Superboy frowned before directing his question towards Batman, "Cadmus held him as a mild to serve threat for awhile before they removed him from it, but is the Firaga you talking about the same one that protects Bludhaven?"
Batman eyes narrowed behind his mask, "Cadmus considered him a threat? How come, do you know?"
"He destroyed a large shipment that was cutting through Bludhaven once, if what the Genomorphs that told me things told me once is true." Superboy stated, "I'm guessing they want me to found out what it was, so I want him in."
"From what I've gathered about him before and path his currently going towards, it would be most wise to add him to the team." Aqualad stated, gaining a nod from his mentor, Aquaman.
Confused, but after hearing Aqualad, Miss Martian agreed in the end.
"Then, team, your first mission to ask Firaga to join the team," Batman stated, "Which you are to do tomorrow so I can debrief you about him if you don't know who he is, or personally like some of us do." The last part, he pointed towards a sheepish Kid Flash whom was which was grinning nervously at some of the stares he was receiving from the Leaguers.
