Sorry I haven't done anything in forever but after school started I was kinda like, I can't handle this. Way too much work but since school's out now (well, for me anyway) I can have a life (well, if video games, tv, and my computer count as a life) and update more often. Hope you guys like this one!

Disclaimer: If I owned Young Justice it would still be on and the next season would have Darksied as the villian, *sigh* but I don't so...

Five Years

It was one simple mission, but it went so wrong.

It was midnight and Jay was sitting on the rooftop of her house, the house she shared with her two best friends even though she was only thirteen. She was thinking about what had happened earlier that day

-Flashback-

Jay was at Mt. Justice, sitting on one of the couches in the common room (main room? Whatever). She was on her laptop but she wasn't actually hacking anything at the moment, just checking email. Robin walked in, sat on the couch across from her and got out his laptop. Jay didn't think anything of it since he was on his laptop a lot. A few minutes later a message popped into her inbox from an email address she didn't recognize. She opened the email, "Hey."

She looked up at Robin, now sure of who had sent it. He just grinned at her mischievously, what was he up to? She sent back "Hey yourself."

"I've had a question I've been meaning to ask you."

Jay was a little confused, why didn't he just ask her in person and why did he look so nervous? And why was her heart beating so fast? Hesitantly she sent back, "Shoot."

As Robin typed his response he was visibly shaking now. She'd never seen him this nervous before, what had happened? Finally, her laptop received the email, "Do you want to go to a movie this Friday?"

Jay felt butterflies rise in her stomach. She looked up and saw Robin blushing deeply. She smiled mischievously before sending back, "What movie did you have in mind?"

Robin smiled with relief when he got her response. "Are you guys emailing each other?" came a joking voice from behind Jay.

Jay screamed when she heard Anna behind her. She slammed her laptop shut and whirled around to face her. Anna had heard Jay scream multiple times before but never like that, if she didn't know that Jay would kill her for saying so she almost would've called it a squeal, or maybe a squeak.

"Wait." Anna thought, "Jay reacted when I mentioned her emailing Robin, but I was just kidding, could they have been? No way!" then she said out loud, "So you were emailing each other!" seeing Jay's reaction she smiled, "What were you talking about that was so secret you had to email each other?"

Jay blurted "Hacking!" at the same time Robin yelled "Movies!" They looked at each other before saying what the other had just said.

"It's a movie about a hacker, it's really good." Jay said, feeling stupid the moment she said it, normally she was so good at lying.

"He asked you out didn't he?" she said with a huge smile on her face, then she turned to Robin, "You asked her out didn't you?" Robin opened his mouth to respond but Anna didn't let him, "EEEK! I knew it! You guys are perfect together!" she squealed before darting off to tell everyone, leaving the two lovebirds alone, both blushing furiously.

-End Flashback-

Jay smiled, she and Robin were going tomorrow night to see the movie and she was super excited, she wouldn't miss it for the world. She heard the window open behind her and turned her head to see April and Anna climbing out onto the roof. "Excited for tomorrow night?" asked Anna.

"Yeah, what are you going to see?" asked April.

"I don't really know what we're going to see yet. Robin said he's already bought the tickets and he's going to surprise me."

"I knew you guys would get together sometime!" said April.

Jay sighed and smiled as she layed back and stared at the stars. "You like him don't you?" said Anna.

Jay waited a little bit before answering, "Yeah, I really do." Suddenly, her watch started beeping, she looked down at it, "Bank robbery, let's go."

Jay darted back inside to put on her costume with April and Anna following.

They reached the bank and entered through the roof. The bank robber had somehow opened the vault but the contents still looked undisturbed. The robber turned around as soon as they reached the floor, looking completely unsurprised and maybe even happy about their arrival, though it was difficult to tell as he was wearing a ski mask. He turned and ran out the back door, not even the slightest bit worried about the money. "Quick! Let's get him!" yelled Anna.

"You guys go ahead, I'll be right there." Jay said before April and Anna flew after the thief.

Jay walked over to the safe, she inspected the door seeing no damage whatsoever. She searched around for any equipment he could've used to open it. There wasn't anything so she went inside the safe. Sure enough, nothing had been touched, weird. Why would someone break into a bank vault and then not steal anything? And how was he able to open the vault without equipment? They would have to question the employees later. Jay chased after her friends, the vault would have to wait, she had a thief to catch!

Jay met up with the others outside of a massive old warehouse, in faded letters at the top it read "Black Enterprise Storage" then above the door "warehouse no. 13"

"Hey, I remember this place." Jay said quietly.

"Ironic isn't it, my little Jaybird, that we should meet here, at a warehouse owned by the legendary Black family."

Jay's eyes widened as she heard her name but she quickly hid her emotions as she said "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Of course you don't, but your friends might. You share everything together, even a house. Isn't that right Anna?"

"How do you know my name!?" yelled Anna before clapping her hand over her mouth. April and Jay glared at her.

"I'll tell you, but you have to catch me first." he taunted.

April saw the black-clad figure running into the warehouse, "There!" she pointed and the three girls darted into the warehouse, stopping as soon as they got inside. It was pitch black and boxes and crates were stacked everywhere. Anna spotted the figure as he disappeared behind a particularly large stack of crates, "Come on! He's getting away!" she flew after him with Jay and April tailing her.

As soon as they stepped behind the stack of crates the saw him descending a staircase that had been cleverly concealed by the tower of wooden boxes. "Clever." Jay thought.

"Let's go!" Anna said, April following directly behind.

"Wait! It might be a..." they were already down the staircase, "trap." Jay finished with a sigh before chasing after her friends.

Once she got down she saw her friends collapsed in the middle of the floor. "Shimmer! Sunstroke!" She ran into the room, her instincts telling her that it was a trap, it had to be a trap, but she ignored them, letting her feelings get the best of her.

Suddenly, the man stepped out from the shadows and pointed a strange looking gun at her. Jay's eyes widened as he pulled the trigger and Jay tried to dodge as she saw the ray of light pulsing toward her. She wasn't fast enough though and the beam grazed her left arm. Instantly Jay felt exhausted, as if she had been hit by a car, she couldn't stand as she felt light-headed and dizzy. She fell onto her hands and knees and then to the floor as her arms weren't able to support her weight. "What kind of weapon was that?" Jay thought.

Anna watched as the figure walked over to the far side of the room and picked up April before placing her in a large glass cylinder, then he did the same with Jay. Anna felt herself start to panic as he crossed the room to where she was, she was shocked as he gently picked her up and carried her to the third chamber where he carefully set her in and fastened the restraints around her wrists and ankles. "Why is he doing this?" she wondered, her panic slowly fading a little. The man went to the opposite wall where he was hidden by the shadows, "For this to work all of you must be fully conscious." he said, "The effects of the paralytic gun only last for a few minutes so we shouldn't have to wait long.

Anna felt her panic coming back full force, what would he do to them? Would she ever see the team again? The team- "Aqualad." she thought, "Will I ever see him again?"

-Flashback-

She was on a date with Kaldur at the local ice skating rink, they had been skating for almost an hour and they finally decided to take a rest. Now they were sitting beside each other on one of the benches. Anna shivered a little and Kal took notice, wrapping his arm around her shoulders, she snuggled closer thinking, "He's such a perfect boyfriend" then saying, "Thanks Kal." She looked up at him, staring into his stormy grey eyes. They leaned closer together, their breath mingling in a frosty cloud, "You're welcome." Kal whispered, and then the space between them disappeared as they kissed.

-End Flashback-

She might never see her boyfriend again and the thought made her so sad and heartbroken that, even though she was paralyzed, a single tear slipped down her cheek. "I don't just like him," she thought sadly, "I love him."

"Just a few more minutes." said the shadowy figure, he had taken off his ski mask but April was still unable to see his face as it was cloaked in darkness.

"What's he going to do?!" April thought, she desperately tried to think of a plan, "Maybe I can freeze him!" she tried to but nothing happened.

Seeing the confused look on her face the kidnapper realized what she had been trying to do and explained, "Trying to use your powers? Don't bother, the pods use the same tech as inhibitor collars and are able to negate any of your special abilities."

That would take so much power and that's way too advanced, tech like that shouldn't even exist yet. Could it? Was it scientifically possible? She wished Wally was here to help her, he was way better with all the scientific stuff. Wally...would she ever be able to tease that annoying speedster again? He wasn't just any speedster anymore though, he was her boyfriend.

-Flashback-

It was April's birthday, the team had thrown her a surprise party earlier that day but now the cake was all gone, the presents were unwrapped, and the party was almost over, almost but not quite. April was standing off by herself, just thinking, when Wally came speeding up, "Hey Beautiful, I got you something." he grinned widely as he handed her a small, badly wrapped gift. April gently tore off the paper and tape, mostly tape, revealing a box. She looked up at Wally, who was practically vibrating with excitement, "Open it." he said.

April cautiously opened it, revealing a pair of earrings with a beautiful aqua blue gem in the setting. Her mouth dropped open in amazement, then she saw something in the lid, it was a piece of paper. She took it out and unfolded it, "Will you be my girlfriend? Check yes or no." there were two boxes under it marked yes and no. "How cheesy." she thought.

April saw a pen setting on a nearby table and grabbed it before checking a box. She handed him back the note and watched his face light up as he saw she had checked yes. "Really!?"

"Did you even have to ask?" she said as she walked over and laced her fingers through his.

-End Flashback-

"Oh Wally." she thought, "I don't think I could ever live without you."

Jay was just beginning to regain feeling, as her mouth became less numb she demanded, "What do you want with us?!" furious at how her words slurred together.

"The effects of the ray are wearing off I see." commented the villain, not answering Jay's question, which she pointed out.

"You didn't answer my question." she said threateningly.

"And I don't intend to." he replied sharply. Then he walked over to a small control panel and pressed a few buttons, "But I will tel you this, it will be a long time until anyone finds you." The machines started humming and a strange fog started to fill her capsule.

"You're wrong." said Jay.

"Am I?"

"Yes. We have friends and they'll come looking for us, they'll find us!" she looked down at her feet and thought, "Robin will come for me." then she said to herself in a voice that was a bit too loud, "He'll come."

"He?" asked the villain.

"Robin." she said, looking back up at him, "He will come for me!"

The man almost seemed sad, "I'm sorry but he won't be coming."

"Yes he will!" Jay yelled, she pulled against the restraints. Then she tried to pull her wrists out of the clamps, but they were too tight and she felt herself getting tired. She pulled harder before finally giving up, "He'll come." she whispered, then, through her blurred vision she saw the shadowy figure step up to the glass and place his hand on it, "I'm sorry, but the future needs you more than the past."

5 years later...

"Alpha team here." said Robin.

"Go ahead Robin." said Nightwing over the com.

Robin, Beast Boy, and Blue Beetle were chasing a criminal who had broken into the Central Falls bank and had just fled the scene. The weird thing was that he hadn't actually stolen anything even though he had managed to open the safe with seemingly no difficulty whatsoever. Nightwing was monitoring them from the cave. "Remember, it's just a bank robber so no deadly weapons, no ferocious animals, and NO plasma cannons!"

"Noted." said Beast Boy.

They saw the criminal flee into a long-time-abandoned warehouse it had the words "Black Enterprise Storage" at the top with "Warehouse no. 13" printed above the door. "Criminal has entered an abandoned storage building." said Robin.

"Proceed with caution Alpha Team."

the three entered the warehouse and saw the criminal run behind a huge stack of crates, "There!" Blue Beetle pointed.

When they rounded the corner behind the crates the man had vanished.

"Aw, he got away." said Beast Boy sadly.

"Maybe not." said Robin as he looked at a single massive crate in the middle of the floor.

"Huh?" said Beast Boy, confused.

"Blue, can you move that crate."

"Sure." he said. "Plasma cannon activated." responded the scarab inside his head. "Wait, no! Not the cannon, just move it!" he yelled at the armor.

Too late, the crate was blasted into splinters. Jaime sighed as the suit stated, "Obstacle removed.

"I said move it, not blast it!" yelled Robin, then he stopped as he saw a trapdoor inside the floor.

He walked over to the handle and pulled, opening the door and revealing steps leading downward. It looked dusty, as if no one had used it for a long time. "Let's go." said Robin.

Beast Boy followed eagerly and Blue Beetle walked behind cautiously. The steps led to a small, dusty room, "Anyone see a light switch?" asked Beast Boy, then he morphed into an owl, "Oh, there it is." he said as he switched back to his normal self. He walked over and flicked a switch, illuminating the room with a soft, dim light. Once the room was lit up they could see three large cylindrical containers, each covered with a thick layer of dust, making whatever was inside completely concealed. The thief had disappeared but the three boys had completely forgotten about him anyway. "Hey! What are those?" said Beast Boy, running over to the containers.

"Don't touch those!" said Robin.

"Why not?" he said, rubbing away a small area in the layer of dust on one of the tubes. "Whoa!" he stumbled back when he saw a face behind the glass.

"What is that?" asked Blue Beetle.

"I think the better question is who." said Robin, wiping away the rest of the dust, revealing a teenage girl with dark hair. She had pale skin and was wearing a mask with the eyes just slits, indicated that her eyes were closed, along with a black jacket over a brown shirt and black pants. She also had a utility belt, gloves, and boots, all black. "Nightwing...we have a situation."

"What is it Robin?"

"Well, it's probably easier if I just show you." he said as Blue Beetle and Beast Boy wiped off the other two cylinders. He activated the video feed on his holo-computer.

He heard a slight gasp from Nightwing's end, "That's impossible." he whispered. They had been missing for years! Everyone thought they were dead! "I'll be right there but for now, don't touch anything!" then he deactivated the link.

"So what do we do now?" asked Beast Boy.

"You heard Nightwing, we wait." said Robin.

"Aw, but waiting's boring!" he complained, "Besides, I bet you could figure out what all these things do!" then he looked at Blue Beetle, "Or you! You speak machine! What's it say?"

"Oh no. Leave me out of this!" he said quickly, really hoping that now wasn't one of those times his armor decided to randomly disobey him, it was. "Translating..." said the scarab "Suspended animation control panel." "Suspended animation?" said Blue Beetle, confused.

"Suspended animation? What's that?" asked Beast Boy, staring at the girls in curiosity, "Whoa! I think they're breathing!" he said, nearly falling off the table he was perched on in surprise.

"He's right." said Blue Beetle quietly, then the armor added annoyingly, "Life signs stable."

"They're alive." Robin gasped, "Blue Beetle! What do the controls say?"

"What are you going to do?" he asked nervously.

"They're alive, we have to let them out."

"But I don't even know how! Besides, Nightwing said-"

"C'mon Blue! Your armor thingy can read the controls and you heard Robin, they're alive! We can't just leave them trapped!" argued Beast Boy.

"Fine." he gave in and let the scarab translate the controls, "That's the release button." he pointed to a small blue button.

"Noted." said Beast Boy as he scampered over to press it.

As soon as he did he ran back over to the capsules, which opened with a whoosh of air. Blue Beetle and Robin stepped closer. "Restraints disengaged." said a computerized voice, then the restraints retracted and all three girls fell forward, still unconscious. Robin caught the blonde girl wearing blue and lowered her to the ground before stepping back and Blue Beetle caught the girl in red in his arms. Beast Boy was a little less graceful, he wasn't expecting the small, dark-haired girl to fall so when she did he was caught completely off-guard and she landed on top of him, knocking them both to the ground. The blonde girl's eyes started to flicker open and so did the girl in red's, Beast Boy pushed the girl on top of him aside, thoroughly embarrassed. When the two were fully awake the smaller girl in black also started to wake up, though the effects were taking longer to wear off on her. "Where are we?" asked the blonde-haired girl, obviously confused.

The girl in red looked around as if in a trance, "Who are you?" she asked as she looked at the armored face of Blue Beetle, who set her down as she regained her balance. Then she saw a familiar costume, "Robin! You found us!"

The small girl got up and rubbed her eyes sleepily, as soon as she moved her hands she froze, "You're not Robin." she said, instantly suspicious, then her eyes narrowed as she didn't recognize either of the other two, "Who are you?"

"We're the guys who rescued you. Who are you?" asked Beast Boy, clearly not seeing how delicate the situation was.

"Triple Threat." the girl said, looking ready to bolt at any second.

"No way! You guys are dead!" he blurted.

"Beast Boy!" said Robin harshly, "We're here to help." he turned to the dark-haired girl who seemed, surprisingly, to be the leader.

"Thanks but we have to leave." said Jay, her suspicion slightly lessening.

"Sorry but we can't let you leave." said Beast Boy.

"Try to stop us." said the girl as she and her teammates sprang into action, quickly taking the boys down and darting out of the warehouse in a matter of seconds.

"Next time, let us do the talking." Robin told Beast Boy.

"Noted." he groaned, holding his side.

"I knew we should've waited for Nightwing." said Blue Beetle.

Aw...poor Triple Threat. Yep, sorry but the first chapter (and really all the chapters after it) is a bit sad but the other chapters have humor in them, well, most of them. I'll try to get the next one up as soon as possible.
