A/N: Hey, Rose the ninja here! I will probably be the one posting this story, though I'll try and have Katie come and help with the authors note at some point. This is our first story ever on FF (and I'm surprised chapter 1 has 835 words), but I will not ask you to go easy on me-or, uh, us. Just please, no flames. Though helpful critisism, and comments of any other kind, will be greatly appriciated! I tried to get rid of all the annoying typos, but please kindly tell me the ones I didn't get so I can make the story better! Sorry for the long authors' note, I'm a little whelmed. Anyways, on to the story!
Here is an update! A little introduction to the story, to give you a better understanding- kind of.
_Introduction_
Unknown person's POV:
Graceland City. Two things come to mind at the mention of this city. One, perfectness. Nice houses, nice jobs, nice people. Everyone has money. No one is poor; no one has a reason to commit crime. Everyone is happy and content. And two, Nathaniel Steel. He is a billionaire and the owner of a popular company, Steel Enterprises, which makes fire-arms for the military and high-tech computers. But, there is more to this "wonderful" city- both good and bad- that you should know about. I'll start with the good:
There is Flickerfoot, a protector of Graceland City. With her super-speed and martial arts she quickly gets the criminals back in jail. She always seems to enjoy what she is doing, though also seems to have a slight temper. Not only has she saved Graceland, but with the help of other young heroes, has also saved earth.
And there is also Ember, a guardian of the weak. With the ability to fly, make/control fire, and her experience, you can sleep knowing that you're safe. At first look she seems cocky, but closer inspection proves she can keep a level head in nearly any situation. She, with the help of Flickerfoot and other young heroes, has saved the planet.
Though an amazing feat, no one knows it was them who saved the planet, nor that earth was ever in any danger. Two heroes in just one city, nice city, what "bad" is there? Well, I was getting to that. Here is the bad:
The bad part of town. Graceland has a bad side? Yes. Every city, no matter how "good", has a bad side. Graceland has one bigger than people care to admit. Everyone always talks about good jobs, happy citizens, stuff like that. They shut their minds to the poor, the people who need them most.
And what comes from poverty, when people don't have the money to live? Humans are naturally sin-full, so when they do what is needed to survive, it has a tendency to turn into more. Humans have a thing that drives them to survive, when they get used to stealing- when they become good at it- they move on to other things; things such as banks and jewelry stores. Then it's no longer about surviving, by then it's about the thrill, it's about the money.
The worst problem about Graceland? Villains. Graceland City is home to two villains, with others who pass through every now and then. No one knows much about them. One controls tech. One can copy others, and make copies of herself. That is all anyone really knows, saying how very few have encountered them and lived- so they say.
You want to know who I am, how I know so much about the "other side" of this city? Well I'm not exactly sure who I am; I have been so many things. But as for the other question, I have experienced it firsthand. I know what so many others know, yet no one knows. I have felt what so many others have felt, but no one has felt it. This Cat has to go for now, my "teacher" is calling. Something about the Light, some sort of team, and a different dimension
_Chapter One_
It was a normal day. At least it was supposed to be a normal day. They had just gotten back from Graceland Academy and were hanging out in Elle's mansion as they talked about the newest episode of Young Justice Invasion.
"So what was your reaction to Artemis's 'death'?" Elle asked, taking a sip of her coke.
"WELL!" Zoey drew in a deep breath, "When Wally and Artemis were talking abouthergoingonthemissionand Artemiswaslike'whatcouldpossiblygowrong'andtheyshowedherdeadIreallythoughtshewasdeadbecause-"
"Zoey, calm down!" Elle commanded, giving Zoey a glare that could give Batman a run for his money, "I can't understand a word you're saying."
Zoey sighed, "Well excuse me for being too fast for you! Willthereeverbesomeonethatwi llunderstandmymiseryasaninja speedster?" She quickly forgot her friends commands, speed-talking again.
Before Elle could try to convince her to calm down, a bright flash of light surrounded Elle and before Zoey could blink, her best friend was gone.
"Elle!" Zoey exclaimed in shock.
It wasn't too long before she felt a shock ripple through her body. It was an odd feeling, Zoey briefly wondered if this was what zeta beams were like. When this feeling stopped she fell to the ground with a thud and groaned. She could not see where she was because of the black spots the bright light left in her vision. As she was blinking out the spots, she heard Elle gasp out loud.
"What? Where are we?" Zoey whispered, rubbing her eyes.
"I think we're in Mount Justice, THE MOUNT JUSTICE!" Elle excitedly exclaimed, looking around.
It appeared that they were in THE mission room of THE team in THE Mount Justice. Zoey quickly got up to look in awe for herself. She made a dash around the headquarters, finding no one there. She immediately returned back to her friend's side.
"But wait a minute, isn't how did we get here exactly? Isn't Young Justice supposed to be a cartoon?" Zoey said, rubbing her chin.
"That's what I was thinking…" Elle pondered out loud, "If we're here, that means that we must have been sent to a different dimension-"
"Where the team exists!" Zoey interrupted Elle's thoughts.
"But are we in season one, or two?" Elle asked to no one in particular.
"OHMYGOODNESS! IF WE'RE IN SEASON TWO THAT MEANS WE SEE IMPULSE! ILOVEIMPULSE! WAIT
DIDIJUSTSAYTHATOUTLOUD? YOUDIDN'THEARTHATELLIE!NOTATALL!"
"Oh, but I did," Elle smirked, taunting her best friend, "Bart and Zoey, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-"
"LALALALALLALALNOTLISTENING!LALALALLALLA!" Zoey exclaimed, sticking her fingers into her ears
Elle rolled her eyes at Zoey's immaturity, "You're so like the Flash family. Hey, maybe you're Wally in a different dimension! I mean, you both have red hair, green eyes and freckles, the speed, personality, you're also a science nerd like him!"
"Oh yeah? Maybe you're an alternate version of Dick Grayson! I mean, you both have black hair, you're both rich, you're both cocky and are like little ninjas, except you actually have powers!" Zoey said, blushing madly.
"Are you blushing? Oh, you're blushing alright! Does that mean you like Wally too? Well, it would make sense for you to like someone older. I mean, he hit on girls older than him before," Elle replied, looking away.
"Okay, can we stop arguing and figure out what season we're in? Because we've been arguing for hours and I'm not going to spend my time arguing when we could be pulling pranks!" Zoey countered, zipping over to where she knew the computers would be in the mission room.
Elle followed after, flying slowly on purpose to annoy her speedster friend.
"Okay, which one of us can hack?" Zoey said, slightly grinning at her friend, "Come on, you're the daughter of a billionaire who creates high tech weapons and computers! Surely you know something!"
"Come on, didn't your dad teach anything but fighting? Surely you know something!" Elle mimicked Zoey, giving the speedster a look.
"Fine, fine, I'll try," She mumbled as she pulled up the holographic computer.
After trying hard for what felt like hours to the speedster, Zoey finally gave up, "I couldn't hack into the computer. It's much harder than my parent's computer."
"Of course it is, 'it's the same system as the batcave!'" Elle muttered under her breath, purposely quoting Dick from season one, episode one, "Here, let me try."
"Fine, but you're not going to… 'whoa, how are you doing that?'" Zoey said, her vibrant green eyes wide in shock. She had just accidently quoted Wally from the same episode.
"Like I said, 'same system as the batcave!'" Elle answered grinning, "Kidding, kidding. How would I possibly know how to hack into the batcave? I just typed in-"
"I don't care what you typed in, just tell me which season we're in!" Zoey impatiently interrupted eager in anticipation.
"Well, we're in season two, just after the latest episode-"
"Great! That means Bart Allen's here!" Zoey said, gleaming in excitement.
"You and Bart, I can't imagine what would happen. You know what? I really don't want to know." Elle said, rolling her eyes.
"You know what we should do? We should totally prank the team!" Zoey explained in excitement, being the usual prankster that she was.
"Are you kidding me? They're superheroes! I'm not pranking superheroes!" Elle argued, waving her arms in exasperation.
"Oh come on! You're telling me we're not considered superheroes? I have super-speed, you can fly and throw fireballs! Fireballs, Elle!" Zoey exclaimed, copying Elle's fireball throwing movements, "But… If you won't help me, I'll just have to do it myself," She tauntingly said, looking away with a slight grin.
"No way I'm letting you in on all the fun!" Elle declared, laughing a bit.
"That's my girl," Zoey chuckled, patting her friend's shoulder, "Now I was thinking something along the lines of…" Zoey explained her plan to her friend, who nodded in anticipation.
