Aqualad has just stepped into the place of leader again and is already exhausted.
With Connor and Megan back on speaking terms, Tim and Cassie together, an angsty Artemis, a pissed off La'gaan, Karen and Mal's upcoming engagement and Nightwing nowhere to be found, Kaldur has had his hands full. So, how much worse can things get when a bunch of problems concerning a Goddess, a rich girl and a misfit from a different universe appear? My own vision of Young Justice's 3rd season.

October 3, 2016- Mt. Justice
Aqualad had woken up with a bitter taste in his mouth and was reluctant to start the day, but the ruckus made from his fellow teammates forced him out of bed and into the living room.
Connor was standing in his corner of solitude along with Wolf, arms crossed and glaring at the ground. Aqualad began to walk towards him when Megan poked her head in the busy room from the kitchen.
"Kaldur, you're awake! Batman came in a few hours ago." The smile faded from her emerald skin. "He said you should contact him as soon as possible." She said and went back to the kitchen to help Virgil with the lunch preparations.
Kaldur sighed heavily and headed to the mission room, where the computer was located. He typed a few orders and the image of Batman appeared on the screen.
"Aqualad." The dark knight greeted gruffly.
The former nodded in return.
"I need two members of your team to serve as bodyguards." The Batman announced.
"Bodyguards? For whom?"
The image of a girl in her fifteens appeared on the screen. She had boyish short brown hair and blue eyes.
"This is Jannet Acer. She is the adoptive daughter of one of the richest families in Gotham." The dark knight paused." She is the biological daughter of Lex Luthor, but the mother is still unknown." Aqualad nodded, slightly surprised.
"We suspect she is one of Cadmus's projects, although she doesn't have a record or shown any signs of mutation." Kaldur nodded again.
"Luthor has been trying to reach her for the last few weeks. I want the bodyguards to keep her from him at any cost."
"I will consider my options." Aqualad said, quickly running over names and abilities in his head.
"Remember, Jannet has no idea about her biological father, and she must not learn. So pick two who are friendly enough to approach her." Batman said and hung up.
I watched as my friend fell to her death, golden hair dyed red with blood. I didn't let grief get the best of me- I couldn't.
Grabbing for the machine gun next to another corpse, I began shooting blindly, not wasting my precious time by searched for her killers. Or anyone else's.
I was born into a war, and had been taught to survive in one. You couldn't trust anyone, not even your friends, so a part of me- a large part of me- felt relieved.
In war you can have no permanent alliances. They're bound to either turn against you, or die from another. Vengeance is futile, as you can never know whether they were going to stay loyal.
Loyal.
That's what my siblings considered me. A soldier, a weapon- void of feelings or will, always by their side. That's where they were wrong.
I now stood in a field full of corpses, examining them stoically.
I threw the machine gun away and wiped the blood from my face.
The year is 3078. The year the war will end.
No words could describe how felt.
Bored.
That was one definition. I was staring at the clock, willing the hands to move, alas it was futile.
Mr. Pattson kept explaining the quotations, and was writing down another exercise on the board, as if we could solve it in the three minutes that remained.
But then again, time was so slow we could solve another ten of those exercises and still have time to chat.
I could hear the squeak of the chalk against the board, the Drama Queen whispering to her minions, and even the guys commenting on Scarlet Johanson's ass.
I wanted to get the heck out of there.
"Are you insane?" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
"You want me to disgrace my family?" My friend had smiled at me sheepishly.
"Think about it. You do what the man asks, and you ask for something in return." He stood up and held both my shoulders. "We could relive the old days of glory!"
"I can't! Besides, why would he come to me?" I asked, stepping away from him.
"Because you're the only one with the abilities he seeks! Or so he said…"
"I don't know…I suppose I'll try… if it's so important…" I bit my lip.
This was so wrong.
Okay, I tried my best with it and honestly have no idea if I'm gonna continue it or not. Please review and tell me if you like it or not.
Also, I have left of few clues to my OCs identities, but you will find out when (if) the next chapter comes out.
Until then, please try to guess which one is which and I'll read your stories if you've guessed right.
