Party Plans and Mission Impossible

Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice

It was as normal as you can get on Mount Justice. The team hadn't received a mission for a few weeks now, allowing them time to rest and recuperate. It was actually starting to get rather boring and dreary, when M'gann had a brilliant idea. "Hey, guys," she announced one day. "You know, it's only two weeks from Christmas. Why don't we have a Christmas party?"

The others thought it was a wonderful idea.

"How about a gift exchange?" Robin suggested.

"Should we invite some other friends too?"

"Who's in charge of food?"

"I think Connor and I can handle decorations."

And finally the big one: "What kind of gifts could we bring?" Kaldur inquired.

M'gann thought for a moment. Finally she spoke slowly. "The present should be uni-gender. That way anyone who receives it will be able to use it."

At last, all plans and preparations were made. M'gann took it upon herself to prepare the feast and help Connor with the décor. Besides the team, Roy, Zatanna, Garth, and Tula would be invited. The Justice League was not. (For obvious reasons) They all went their separate ways to buy gifts and prepare for the big party.

All was well, except for one thing. It appeared that a few certain team mates of M'gann did not wish to taste her cooking, so they made a devious plan to destroy the food without her knowledge.

Unit 1, are you all ready?" Robin whispered softly into his synchronized watch.

Wally and Connor nodded. "Affirmative," replied Wally, who had chosen himself to be leader.

"Then deploy. Remember not to get too whelmed."

After the meta-humans left, Robin glanced at Artemis. "You ready, archer friend?" Artemis shook her head.

"I don't think so."

Robin gave her an unnerving grin. "Then what are we waiting for?"

M'gann hummed cheerfully as she rummaged through cabinets for her Martian recipes. "Where is that fly guts pie recipe? Oh! Hello, Megan! It's been in my hand the whole time. Now that I have all the ingredients, I think I should make some samples to ensure I don't mess up before the party."

Robin scoffed as he watched her setting bowls and pans through his new device. He liked to call it the "Stalker-Machine." Artemis paced across the floor beside him. "When are Wally and Connor going to distract her? I hope we don't fail, or else it's glok-glok nut rolls for us."

Robin ignored her imitation of a person throwing up and focused on the screen. "They'll come any time now. I just know it."

"And exactly how do you know this?"

Robin smiled. "I know everything." Artemis scooted away from him a little.

As if to prove the Boy Wonder's point, Wally sped up to M'gann with Connor following more slowly. "Hey, beautiful," he greeted the alien. Connor rolled his eyes. He wasn't bothered by Wally's comments anymore. The speedster knew M'gann was Connor's.

"Wally and I want to help you with the food." He stated simply. The two boys then put on a very lame smile in an attempt to show enthusiasm. It was a good thing M'gann hadn't been on Earth for long.

"Okay, first we'll crack 15 of these eggs."

Wally suddenly "tripped" and dropped three eggs on the floor by "accident". "Oops," he grinned sheepishly. "I guess we can't make the cookies."

M'gann merely shrugged her shoulders and began cleaning the mess. "That's all right, Wally. There's still enough to make cookies. In Martian culture, we always make more than enough in case a poor stranger or eleven knocks on our door.

"Okay…"

Wally left the room abruptly with the excuse of going to the restroom. When M'gann wasn't looking, he flashed a pan behind his back. It was the secret signal.

Connor knew it was time. Suddenly he crouched down under the lower cabinets and pretended to look for something. "M'gann, would you help me? I remembered we need a greased pan."

M'gann tilted her head sideways. "I thought I brought one out." She proceeded to search through the utensils she had brought out, but couldn't find the pan. "Oh, well. Perhaps my mind has been playing tricks on me." Then she bent down to help her Kryptonian boyfriend.

A rope arrow flew through the room and struck the wall behind them. Robin sailed down and landed without a sound. Pulling a bat rope, he tossed it to the other side, creating a make-shift pulley. He swiftly started grabbing recipes and ingredients alike and attached them to the ropes. On the other side, Artemis slowly pulled the ropes while Wally took them and stored them.

M'gann shook her head in frustration. "It's just not in here!" She was about to crawl out, but Connor pushed her head down. "Connor, what are you doing?" She glared at him. Connor's mind went blank. Not knowing what to do, he resorted to one of Wally's cheesy excuses.

"Uhh, there are explosions outside. Can't you hear them?" Sometimes, having super hearing was very handy.

"No, I can't. Will you let go of me?" M'gann gritted her teeth. Connor cursed himself inside. Robin was attaching the last of the recipes. As he heard Connor's excuse, he nearly sighed. That was so Wally. Unfortunately, Wally and Artemis were starting up another argument, and their whole mission was on the verge of failing. The teen ninja began making explosion noises to cover up the noise.

"BOOM! CRASH! KABOOM! POW!"

M'gann's eyes widened with fear. "I've never heard explosions like those before."

"They're new technology," Connor told her.

M'gann was about to say, We better tell Batman , when the explosion noises stopped. As they crawled out of the cabinets, Robin disappeared. All things necessary for food were gone. M'gann gasped. "What happened here?"

"The explosions destroyed them."

M'gann was so thoroughly confused by now, but she hung her head sadly. "Looks like we'll just eat take-out. I'll get Artemis to shop with me."

At the look on Artemis's face, Wally cracked up. He laughed so hard he rolled out of the room and into the hallway. M'gann happened to be flying by, when she saw Wally on the floor laughing. Not knowing what to do, she passed on.

Robin and Connor fist-bumped. Mission accomplished. Unfortunately, Artemis was so dead.

I am so sorry! I had a late start so it couldn't be on time for Christmas. I literally started on Christmas Eve. Oh, well. Rate and Review.
