Chapter 1 – Welcome to Young Justice
Barry Allen was in the living room saying good bye to his foster family. After he defeated Reverse-Flash, Zoom, and all the other criminals as The Flash, he had made quite a name for himself. He received a letter a couple of weeks ago about a college that not only offered one of the best educations on the planet, but also taught people with extraordinary abilities or skills how to fight, how to be a hero. And he could attend for free.
He noticed that he could get the degrees needed to become a CSI forensic scientist and decided to jump at the scholarship. I mean hey, who doesn't like free college? So he packed his backs and was ready to head to college.
"I'm going to miss you Barr" Joe said as he was hugging his son in everything but blood.
"I'll miss you too" Barry said after the hug.
"Don't be a stranger, call or text sometime" Iris said as she hugged him.
"Will do" Barry said as he heard the honking sound of the bus.
"Well, guess this is goodbye for now." Barry said as he got on the bus headed for Happy Harbor. Barry was excited for a fresh start but also worried. He wasn't exactly popular in high school and being the only speedster that isn't from the future and/or evil, he was nervous.
In Midvale the next day
"Okay but if you need anything I'm only one call away" Alex was talking to her sister, Kara had never gone any ware without Alex and she was about to move to Happy Harbor to attend college. That was thousands of miles away from National City were Alex was attending college.
"Alex, I'll be fine. Plus Clark is one of the councilors there so I'm in good hands." Kara told her sister. Alex worried too much.
"Kara honey, the bus is here!" Kara and Alex heard Eliza yell from down stairs.
Kara went down stairs with her luggage and hugged her foster mom and said "I love you"
"Love you too sweetie" Eliza told her.
Then Kara and Alex hugged and Alex said "Text me when you get there. Love you"
"Will do and I love you too" Kara said and then walked to bus and put her luggage on.
A few hours later at Happy Harbor
The bus arrived at the side of a mountain, with two men and a woman standing at the base. One of the men was standing next to a Lamborghini in a very expensive looking suit. The other man was in a green hood with a bow and quiver of arrows and the woman was wearing black with fishnets.
"Welcome to mount justice, this is where you will all be staying." The man in the suit said. "My name is Bruce Wayne and I will be telling you about your living conditions. You all have been assigned your own personal rooms which you may customize to your liking. You will always have one or two councilor's staying at the mountain, this month it's Green Arrow and Black Canary. If you are dating another student, you may move in together and share one room. There are no rules on dating other than if they are not a student, they can't stay here. While you are attending Young Justice, you may move in with civilians outside of the mountain."
While Bruce was talking, Barry was looking at the other students, there weren't many. Maybe about twenty students. It was a good thing that they were actually attending Happy Harbor University otherwise there would not be enough students for a school.
"As many of you know, you will be attending Happy Harbor University, but outside of school, you will still have classes about learning to use your powers or skills for good. School doesn't start for another two weeks so get familiar with the mountain, town, and each other. I wish you all the best of luck." Bruce finished and got in his car and drove off.
"My name is Dinah Lance and this is my husband Oliver Queen, we will be your councilors this month. I look forward to meeting each and every one of you." Dinah said. Oliver just kinda stood there and smiled.
As everyone was headed for their rooms, Barry was walking down the hall muttering to himself "4A" over and over again. He was looking at each of the doors numbers and didn't notice the person which he bumped into.
He fell to the ground, but she did not. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry I didn't see you there I wasn't paying Attention and…" Barry finally looked up at her. She had blonde hair that was up in a bun, she wore glasses and Barry was captivated by her beautiful blue eyes. "H-hi, I'm B-Barry Allen" Barry said as his heart rate quickened.
Great, first day here and I already bump into a beautiful girl and make a fool of myself. She probable already thinks I suck. Barry thought to himself.
Kara was at a loss for words, she was about to say something when she looked at him and her brain short circuited. She heard his heart rate go faster as he looked into her eyes and her heart was racing as she was gazing into his green eyes.
"K-Kara Danvers" Kara managed to get out "Nice to meet you" She said as she shook his hand which he held out after he got up. She could hear his heart rate increase and was starting to blush. No boys heart rate ever went up around here at Midvale, every boy thought she was weird. "So what room you in?" Kara asked trying to start a conversation with the handsome boy.
"4A, how about you?"
"4B, looks like we're neighbors." Kara said as her heart skipped a beat. She took out a piece of paper and started to write something down and then handed it to Barry. "Hear, it's my phone number. Maybe we could hang out later?"
"Yeah, I'd love that" Barry responded. He knows it might be early, but he was starting to form a crush on the Kara.
"Well, I'll see you later." Kara said as she walked into her room. She wasn't even here a full day and was forming a crush on Barry.
Later that night at dinner, Barry and Kara sat alone at the end of a table talking about almost every subject trying to learn more about the other. While everyone else were talking to each other, Kara and Barry were in there own little bubble.
"So Kara, where you from?" Barry asked.
"I came from Midvale, how about you?"
"Central City" Barry said as he crammed another piece of pizza into his mouth. Kara could keep up with his monster appetite which surprised him because of how slim she was. Maybe another speedster? Barry knows that speedsters are the most rare meta-human to exist but maybe there were others.
"So parents? How are yours?" Barry asked and he noticed how Kara's face went from happy to sad immediately. "Kara, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."
"No, no it's fine. They are dead, I have been living with my foster mother and sister who are great to me and I love them like they are my blood. How about you? How are your parents?"
"Well, my mother was murdered in front of me when I was 11, and my dad was sent to prison for her murder wrongfully and he recently was murdered but they got the guy who murdered him. I have been living with my foster dad and sister ever since then who treat me like family." Barry said.
As painful as it is to talk about there tragedies, it was nice for the two of them to share these with each other. It gave them something to bond over.
Hope you guys like the start to this story. Yes there will be other characters and this story will not solely focus on Kara and Barry but they will be the main focus. Until the next one, peace.
