Chapter 1: Missing in Action

(Unfortunately, I must admit that this chapter is a little slow... But as soon as you get to Chapter 2, I promise it picks up instantly!

I hope you enjoy my first attempt at a Fanfiction.

As much as I wish I could, I do not own Young Justice. Any other characters, however, are mine.)

It was January 2, 2016, five years after Vandal Savage's attack on the Justice League, in attempt at full control of the heroes. The Team was gathered in Mount Justice, as Nightwing discussed what Wonder Girl and Batgirl had uncovered the day before.

"So let's review," he said, breaking the long silence. "This "Lobo" seems to have come from a different planet, and captured this creature, who had been acting as Secretary General Tseng." Batgirl nodded. "There is one weird thing though," she added. "He came here only to recover that alien, and left, with no other notable motives."

"It seems that he's some kind of bounty hunter…" Robin said, typing away on the computer. Everyone gathered around him and watched the screen intently, as an encoded criminal record interface began to appear across the Cave. Obviously this record was not a file from Earth. "I guess his orders were just to retrieve the alien and leave."

"Can you gather anymore intel about him?" Nightwing asked. He had to admit, Tim Drake's hacking skills were quite impressive. As much experience he had earned from his days as Robin, he doubted even he would have been able to hack into coded alien tech.

"Not sure," Robin said, obviously not as confident in his abilities as Nightwing was. "But I'll do what I can."

His fingers flew across the holographic keyboard, information whizzing all over the screen. There was just one more odd firewall he had to get past.

He cracked his knuckles, and began carefully configuring the system's encoding, as precisely as he could. Cautiously, he began to enter the final sequence.

In a change of destiny, a bump in the time-space continuum, or simply by the Will of God Himself, a tiny speck of dust, smaller than even noticeable to the naked eye, fell from the air and landed just under Superboy's nose.

He looked troubled, making an odd face. "Superboy?" Wonder Girl asked. "Are you okay?" He tried to say yes, but instead released a huge:

"AH-CHOO!" which shook the cave, causing everyone to stumble.

The tremor jerked Robin forward rapidly, smashing his left hand into the keyboard, hitting one key too many.

"No!" he cried, as all of the information on Lobo disappeared, piece by piece. The entire cave seemed to shut down even. "Robin, I'm sorry..." Superboy began. But something was off... There was one key eerily glowing on the keyboard. "Okay..." Beast Boy asked, "What's up with that?"

Robin looked up at the screen. "I don't know..." he admitted. "I guess it must be a reset button."

And he pressed it, beginning something the entire Team never could have expected. "Recognizing: Nightwing, B-0-1. Beast Boy, B-1-9. Bumblebee, B-1-7. Blue Beetle, B-2-2. Miss Martian, B-0-5. Robin, B-2-0. Superboy, B-0-4." The computer made a whirring sound, and continued. "Also recognized. Batgirl: Authorized. Wonder Girl: Authorized. Lagoon Boy: Authorized. Not in vicinity: Red Arrow."

"In vicinity of what?" Nightwing asked. Robin shrugged. "I'm not even entirely sure what it's doing."

The computer screen began to pinpoint locations. "Recognized: Paso Alto. Kid Flash: B-0-3. Artemis: B-0-7." In a bright flash, the two were "Zeta-ed" into the Cave. "What's going on?" Wally asked. Everyone else was too shocked to reply.

"Recognized: Watchtower. Zatanna: 2-5. Rocket 2-6."

The two instantly appeared in the Cave as well. "Robin, turn it off!" Nightwing commanded. "I can't!" he replied. "The system shut me out!"

"Final Recognition. Aqualad: B-0-2." Nightwing's eyes opened wide in disbelief as Aqualad, in his Manta Ray armor suddenly appeared beside him.

Before anyone could say a word, "Recognition complete. Team assembled. Commencing complete molecular transportation."

"WHAT?!" everyone cried as a bright light exploded around them, sucking everyone inside and disappearing.

When the team awoke, they quickly realized they weren't in the Cave anymore. "Robin," Nightwing called, "What happened? Where are we?"

Robin rubbed his forehead, still slightly dazed by the brightness of the flash. "I-I don't know..." he said, shaken up. "Uh, Nightwing?" Superboy said uneasily. "It looks like Washington D.C."

As the team got up, they could make out the Washington Monument from across the vast body of water in front of them. "Something's up." Nightwing deduced. "Thank you, Mr. Genius..." Batgirl joked.

"No," Nightwing continued. "Why did the computer transport people we haven't even seen in years to the same location as us?"

"Well," Miss Martian suggested. "Maybe since it was a system reset, it recognized everyone who lived there..."

"No way..." Robin said, tapping on a holographic PDA. "What is it?" Nightwing asked calmly. "You're going to think I'm crazy..." he said, "But I don't think we're on Earth. At least not the one we're familiar with." He looked up at the sky covered in dark clouds.

"We're in a different dimension."
