Chapter 2

+++++++THE WATCHER TOWER++++++

Floating in space , embedded in an asteroid orbiting around the Earth was the headquarters of the greatest heroes the world had even seen, the Justice League. Holographically hidden from prying eyes, the members of the Justice League secretly dispatched from this location to save the world on an weekly basis. Rarely do they see most of the members gather in one location, a testament to their devotion to their job.

Unfortunately what had occurred a few hours ago forced a gathering to discuss what to do next.

In the Justice League conference room sat the founding members of the Justice league; Batman, Flash, Martian Manhunter, Hawkwoman and Wonder Woman, along side veterans members such as Red Tornado, Aquaman, Captain Marvel , Zatara,Green arrow and Hawkman. Missing from their ranks were their resident intergalactic allies the Green Lantern Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Jon Steward due to their job.

Also absent was their leader and founder member of the league, Superman. His absence related to what happened hours ago.

"How is Superman?" Batman asked Martian Manhunter, their resident expert on alien physiology.

"Thanks to Zatara spell work, Superman skin are no longer saturated with harmful magical energies and had begun to heal normally. With his krypontian physiology, I estimate he would be back to optimal condition within 2 hours." J'onn J'ozz , the Martian Manhunter said. He shuddered when he saw the condition Superman was found in by Hawkman. The man of steel was to put it properly, charred no blackened and charred, his hair burnt and his eyes almost welded shut from the cooked fleshed.

"And the...creature?" Batman question looking over to Hawkwoman and Zatara.

"Sent to Belle Reeve and place in an isolated area, the constant stream of liquid nitrogen being pumped into his cell have kept his powers subdued." Hawkwoman said. Belle Reeve penitentiary was the premiere super villain housing complex, having something like that whipped up in a matter of minutes was common. You never knew what strange villains might be coming through the area.

"Zatara, are sure that creature was the only one of it's kind?" Batman stoically asked , his eyes darting to their two resident Thanagarian before back to the magician. If there was a whole planet full of those creature like Shayera and Katar...his grimaced at the thought.

"Positive Batman, the Phoenix Lord is well document amount the supernatural population." Zatara said confidently looking at his fellow leaguer. "Although , now that Jusenkyo has been destroyed, I am not sure of the old magical treaty of old will hold up anymore. Others might seek out it's remnant and try to harvest whatever residual powers they could fine."

Batman eyes narrowed and his jaws clenched, he hated dealing with the supernatural forces, they were always so unpredictable. "Is there anything left for them to harvest?" he asked.

"Beside the mystical stave's known as the Gekkaja and Kinjakan, the magic in the area has been completely depleted. The runic array that powered the entire area was completely destroyed in the battle." Zatara answered. The runes that had encompassed the entire area had been broken, it's ley line shattered by the Phoenix king and his opponent.

Batman nodded , the two weapons have been 'stored' at the watch tower for safe keeping. "Which now bring us to our next order of business." He said tapping a few button .

Moments later a holographic screen winked into existence showing the two Japanese teenagers in the league cafeteria. The boy had been given new clothing , jeans and a t-shirt , due to the deplorable state it was in when they found him, while the girl had opted for a bathrobe.

"It's easy, just send them back," Flash said simply not sure why the civilian was in their secret watchtower. "Why did we even bring them here in the first place?" He sent Batman a questioning look as did most of the league members. It had been upon Batman insistence that the two Japanese teens was brought to the Watchtowers, something their protege have yet to even been granted the privilege of..

"The girl will go soon enough," Batman said pointedly. "The boy however we need to talk about."

The league members looked at each other then waited for batman to continued. "What more is there to talk about?" Aquaman voiced for his teammates. "We saved them, we send them back."

"We did not save them." Hawkwoman said making the other league member looked at her in surprised. "I am not sure what happen but by the time we go there, the...being was already beaten. I simply subdued him." she explained much to the other surprised except for the two that were there with her.

"But you three went down there," Flash said not understanding. Hawkman, Hawkwoman and Zatara made a powerful group.

"Yes but , what is that expression you like to say my friend ah yes, we were late to the party." Zatara told Flash.

"Are you telling me, that boy stopped a being who took out Superman?" Wonder Woman asked incredulously.

Batman did not even answer her, instead he tapped a few buttons making a second screen winked into existent for the league member. The screen was filled with the picture of the Japanese boy with various information highlighting his frame. "Ranma Saotome, Japanese, age 16, Born of Genma and Nodoka Saotome. Engage to ten girls, all of them valid, pursued by two more girls, for affection . Is afflicted with a magical curse that turn him into a female version of himself. " Batman said as he displayed another screen this time of a short red-head.

The league members looked curious.

"He went on a martial arts training trip since he was five years old , returning ten years later to Nerima Ward where he was yet again engaged to marry a practitioner of his sister school one Akane Tendo." Batman continued.

"Do this various circumstances regarding the area, Ranma now has the following abilities. Super strength, Super Speed, limited invulnerability to blunt force trauma and magical attacks, the ability to fire energies from the palm of his hand, the ability to make a tornado like Hawkwoman team encountered and many many more." Batman rattled off.

The Justice League members watched on with earnest as a videos of Ranma punched through a concrete wall was on displayed, follow by one of him his fist blurring, another of him getting punched through a wall by another human and then shrugging it off, another of him fighting some supernatural entity, short video feed of him cupping his hand together and firing a yellow beam of energy from his hand and finally of him creating a tornado like wind sucking in some people. All of these recording were on continuously loop over and over again.

"Is he a meta?" Captain Marvel asked in awe as he watched the feed. It would explain the boy ability. Metahumans were humans with a mutation in their DNA that grants them various powers.

"No, he's a martial artist." Batman explained."And completely meta-gene free."

"Umm-Bat's, sorry to break it to you but those type of things only exist in like kung fu movies." Flash said chuckling to himself. Of course the kid had to be a meta. "Are you saying this kid can leap tall trees in a single bound or do fancy attack?" he chuckled remember Crouching Tiger and Hidden dragons.

"Among other things, Up until now, martial artists prefer solitude and often go out of their way to avoid the general world." Batman looking at Flash. Flash looked surprised by Batman answered. "That all changed a year ago when Ranma Saotome showed up in Nerima, martial artists from all over gathered in that area to fight this boy causing untold property damages among other devastation."

"Wait, that's not possible, if something like that happened, the Justice League would have been notified." Aquaman voiced. If there were that much damages , the league would have been there to quell the disturbance.

"The Japanese are an incredibly private people, they would not talk if someone came in to clean up the damages free of charge." Batman gave the founder league members a meaningful glance.

Wayne Enterprise had taken an invested intrest over the area and had pick up the tab for repairing the the area from battle craze martial artist. As long as they did not talk about it of course, the Wayne Construction would be more then happy to continue and provide jobs thus ensuring everyone was happy with a healthy economy.

"So the boy is skilled, you still haven't explain why bring him here." Wonder Woman voiced bringing the conversation back on point. She had to admit, from one warrior to another he was impressive.

"It's because this boy is skilled that I brought him here, the boy went toe to toe with a mythical creature. I have been keeping tabs on him. Even among martial artist he's a prodigy." Batman said flatly but to those that knew him best there was a hint of respect in his voice. Then he display a chart of Ranma and his known powers along with the time date stamp. The Justice League read his dossier and noticed an incredible leap in power in just a year alone. He Also included a graphical chart of potential growth. "If he keep on growing in abilities at this rate..." he said causing the people around him to gasped.

"But-but that'll mean , that, if he's not a meta then he'll be- " Flash started trying to find the correct words. He did the math in his head, it didn't seem possible.

"A human...Superman." Green Arrow said with a note of pride in his voice.

J'onn J'ozz didn't have to read Batman thoughts to know what he was thinking. Since their inception, the humans of Earth were consider weak. Superman , J'onn, Hawkwoman and Hawkman were aliens, Jon and Hal were armed with intergalactic space powers. Flash gained his power via an experiment gone wrong while Captain Marvel was a being of magical power. Red Tornado was a machine, and Aquaman an entirely different species altogether. The humans among the League were Batman, Green Arrow and Black Canary. Yet despite all of their skills , all of their hard work to hone themselves, if it came down in terms of pure strength and naturaly ability, any of the extraterrestrial or strength type meta humans could overpower them with their natural strength.

"You want to recruit him to join the others," Red Tornado CPU processed it's only logical conclusion.

Batman nodded. "He'll be good for them." Looking at the others to let them know how serious he was about this.

Wonder Woman was beginning to understand but then a thought occurred to her. "If this..Nerima area has such capable martial artists, why single out this one?" she asked pointing to the videos of Ranma on display.

"Because, despite everything he has been through, everything he had endured and suffered, he have something the others do not," Batman growled out.

"And what would that be Bat?" Flash asked puzzled. He wonder how Wally would deal with this new inclusion into their ranks.

Batman looked at every Justice League in the eye and answer them. "A firm sense of right and wrong."

++++++++++Justice League Cafeteria+++++++++++++

Ranma was too busy chowing down to notice Akane discomfort at being in space. The Youngest Tendo was kept glancing out the window nervously afraid that she would suddenly be sucked out in the endless void.

'I can't believe I am still up here!' Akane thought to herself.

"Hey Kane, ya gonna finish that tray of yours?" Ranma asked pointing to her untouched tray of food.

"Ugh, you pig, that's like your tenth tray!" Akane said but pushed her tray toward her fiancee. Then she gestured out toward space behind the glass window. "WE're in space! Shouldn't you be freaking out or worried?!"

"Chill 'Kane, " Ranma said as he destroyed Akane tray. I.E eat like a pig. "Not like we can do nuthing bout it." he shrugged. He had been worried at first but these were heroes he looked up to, they fought for truth and justice. If there was one spot he could feel absolutely safe in it would be here with them.

Just then he sense several presence outside the cafeteria door and watched as the skimpy clad Wonder Woman, the scary Batman and some green guy- on right, the martian man stalker guy, walked in.

Of course, busying stuffing your mouth rarely make for a good impression among these great super heroes. Batman just stared at him while Wonder Woman looked at him questionably. The martian guy appear to not be fazed at all.

Gulping and swallowing it all without chewing, he slowly put the tray down wiped his mouth and bowed to the three entrant. "Thank you for your hospitality." he said respectfully. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head before it faded away.

"Ranma Saotome," Batman said in English making Ranma eyes widen in surprised at understand him. " The man hunter implanted the English language in your brain , to make it easier to communicate since I am the only one here that speaks Japanese."

Ranma started to protest but nodded as that made sense to him. "Next time warn me at least, don't need nobody rooting through my head..." he said a bit miffed at his invasion of privacy.

To the present leaguer shock Batman nodded. "My apologies, I will inform you the next time." he said.

Wonder Woman and J'onn exchanged an incredulous look behind Batman's head at his apology. Batman NEVER apologize. Ever.

"So ...when can we go home Batman-san?" Ranma asked looking at the Justice Leaguer. As cool as it has been and it HAD been, he still wanted to go home.

"Akane Tendo can return home immediately," Batman said and saw Akane head perked up recognizing her name. "You on the other hand, we need to have a talk with."

Ranma had started to perked up but heart sank down as he felt he was in some sort of trouble. "Umm...what do you want ta talk to me bout?" he asked. Maybe his dad engaged him to Wonder Woman? Nah! He couldn't be that lucky!

Batman saw the distrustful look on Ranma face and mentally went over the file obtain from various sources, including one Nabiki Tendo. Rephrasing his request. "My apologies, you are not in trouble, we actually have a proposition for you." he said.

Wonder Woman and J'onn shared another look and started to doubt if the Batman in front of them was the real one. That's twice now he had apologize!

"Proposition?" Ranma asked , his mind working a mile a minute. "Umm sure I guess."

"How would you like to join the Young Justice League?" Batman asked never taking his eyes off Ranma.

"Join the Young Justi-" Ranma then remembered, these heroes sometime had side kicks that were with them. Ranma eyes widen to dinner plates at the implication.

"HEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~!
