Authors Note:

This is my first ever story, so please be kind. I was really bummed that the show got cancelled and I've been re-watching recently, which is when inspiration struck. I've borrowed some plot points from the JLU universe, but this is mainly a Young Justice story.

This has not been beta'd but has been compulsively edited by me. If anyone is willing to Beta, please feel free to contact me.

Disclaimer: Nothing is mine.

Edit: I now have a beta, Emily Jade. SoI'm editing the chapters a bit. All mistakes are mine.


Jump City

Two figures met on a rooftop some distance away from the city proper. A large, T-shaped structure could be seen dimly in the windswept rain. It was unusual weather for a normally mild city, and the streets were largely empty.

"This is a little cliché, wouldn't you agree?" the taller of the two men commented dryly. "I thought you would come up with something original, knowing your methods."

The other man simply growled, his purple hood swaying in the windswept rain.

"Let me get to business, then. The recent Light fiasco has taught me that Justice League has gotten smarter, what with them having a toddler black-ops team todo low-profile work. They balance each other out. We have no such luxury, and seeing as there is no one at the top, I think we can find enough room for the both of us."

"You want to work together? With me?" the other man asked.

"Collaborate, more like. We keep both of them busy and use them against each other," Prometheus said. "I chose you because I don't need a flashy distraction. I need sly and quiet. Like nothing has changed."

Eclipso looked up from his hood. "I get the Justice League. I have nothing to do with the young ones." He had a slithering voice, it reminded Prometheus of snakes. "Tell me your plan."

Bristling slightly at the commanding tone, Prometheus nevertheless smirked. It wouldn't do to show anger. "Simple," he said. "How do you feel about travelling to Gotham this time of the year?"
