Hey y'all, here's the next chapter. Though I forgot to put the translations in the last chapter. Here they are.

Pacing around his office, Dr. Mark Desmond paced his office in thought, waiting for an audience with the group that was in charge of the happenings at Cadmus. His small Genomorph staring intently at nothing as he did so. Suddenly, the lights in the office dimmed and seven screens descended from the ceiling. All of the screens flared to life, each of them showing a figure, concealed by an intense white light.
"Dr. Desmond" said one. "You require an audience with the light?"
"Yes" said Desmond. "So sorry to disturb you at this late hour, but-"
"Just make your report" said another of the obscured figures, cutting Desmond off.
"Of course" replied Desmond, clearing his throat. "Well, we had a small fire here at Project Cadmus. The origin of the incident is still unclear, but it seems to have attracted some, uh…unwanted attention. Three sidekicks, Robin, Aqualad, and Kid Flash, as well as one other unknown masked figure, breached security. They found, and released, the Weapon, the Superboy. Of course the clone is under our telepathic control, and as ordered, turned against his would-be liberators. The four are contained, and we don't believe the League knows they're here…Uh…What should I do with them?"
"Clone them" said one of the figures.
"The substitutes will serve the Light" said another. "And only the Light."
"And, the originals?" asked Desmond.
"Dispose of them" concluded a Light figure. "Leave no trace."
Deep in Naruto's mindscape, Naruto was in the middle of a conversation of his own. "Damn it" he said, slamming a fist into the wall. "He's under some kind of mind control. We can't let him be used as a puppet for Cadmus."
"Too true" replied the Kyuubi, tired eyes looking down at Naruto from the cage, which remained even though the seal did not. "But what exactly do you plan to do? You have yet to master my powers outside of form-shifting. You cannot even fight with your tails as of yet. You must work harder if you are ever going to become proficient in my power. Without the knowledge and training, it doesn't matter how much power you have. You'll still be nothing more than an above average human."
"So what, so you're saying I'm not ready either?" asked Naruto. "You sound just like the Justice League."
"Yes, but unlike those idiot in tights, I speak only what is true. You have a long way to go, so I suggest you get to work. Strength is not enough, nor is agility or speed. Your mind is the most powerful weapon that you have. I suggest you use it. Otherwise…"
"Otherwise what?" asked Naruto.
"Quiet boy" said Kyuubi. "Listen." Taking Kyuubi's advice, Naruto began focusing. After a moment of silence, he heard it. A voice in his head that belonged to neither himself or Kyuubi.
"Time runs short" said the strange new voice. "You must awaken…you must awaken NOW!" Naruto suddenly found himself pulled from the mindscape, opening his eyes to the outside. Looking around, he noticed that he, along with the others, were strapped into strange glass pods of some sort, each looking as confused as him. Looking down, he saw Superboy just looking up, staring at them.
"What?" said Kid Flash. "What do you want?" Superboy merely narrowed his gaze. "Stop staring, it's creeping me out!" shouted the young Speedster.
"KF" whispered Robin, getting the yellow-clad boy's attention. "How 'bout we NOT tick off the guy who can fry us with a look?"
"I agree with Robin, let's not piss this guy off…again" said Naruto, sighing.
Outside the room, Mark Desmond was walking toward the door to Project Kr. Next to him was the scientist woman who Flash had run into earlier. "Prepare the cloning procedure for the new Project Sidekick…NOW" he ordered, and she ran off, as Desmond walked up behind Guardian.
"Almost done here Doc" said Guardian, and Desmond looked at the progress. They were fixing the door after Superboy had ripped it off after his battle with the sidekicks. Several genomorphs were making the repairs. When Desmond got closer, he made a startling discovery. Superboy was not in his pod.
"Where's the weapon" he growled out.
"Superboy?" asked Guardian. "He carried the intruders to the cloning chamber."
"We have GENOMORPHS for that!" shouted Desmond. "Get the weapon back in its pod, NOW!"
"I don't see the harm in letting the kid stretch his legs" said Guardian.
"Don't you now?" asked Desmond, obviously irritated with all these developments. The genomorph on his shoulder began to come to life, its eyes and horns glowing a bright red. On Guardian's shoulder was a similarly glowing genomorph, feeding telepathic thoughts and images to the man with the golden helmet. His eyes widened before narrowing in anger.
"That clone belongs in a cage" he growled out, stomping off to the cloning chamber. Desmond followed shortly after.
Back in the cloning chamber, another conversation was going on.
"We only sought to help you" said Aqualad.
"Yeah" said Kid Flash. "We free you and you turn on us. How's that for gra-"
"Kid, please" said Naruto. "Just shut up for once. Superboy wasn't in full control when he fought us. I know it."
"What if I…what if I wasn't?" asked Superboy.
"He can talk?" asked Kid Flash, obviously surprised as Superboy clenched his fists in rage.
"Yes…" he said angrily. "HE can." Naruto, Aqualad and Robin all looked at Kid Flash.
"What?" he asked. "It's not like I said It."
"The genomorphs taught you" said Aqualad. "Telepathically."
"They taught me much" confirmed Superboy. "I can read, write…I know the names of things…"
"But have you ever SEEN them?" asked Robin. "Have they ever actually let you see the…sky? Or the sun?"
"Images are implanted in my mind" said Superboy. "But no, I have not seen them."
"Do you know what you are?" asked Aqualad. "WHO you are?"
Standing up straight and tall, Superboy began speaking as though reading from a book. "I am the Superboy. A genomorph. A clone made from the DNA of the Superman. Created to replace him should he perish. To destroy him should he turn from the light."
"To be like Superman is a worthy aspiration" said Aqualad. "But like Superman, you deserve a life of your own. Beyond that Solar Suit. Beyond your pod. Beyond Cadmus." Superboy frowned before shouting in anger.
"I live BECAUSE of Cadmus. It is my HOME" he yelled.
"Your home is a test-tube" said Robin. "We can show you the sun."
"Ahh, pretty sure it's after midnight" said Kid Flash. "But we can definitely show you the moon."
"We can show you…introduce you…to Superman" said Naruto.
"No. They can't." The five occupants of the room looked toward the opening door to see Desmond entering the room, along with Guardian and the other scientist woman. "They'll be otherwise occupied." Turning toward the woman, he gave one order. "Activate the cloning process" he said. She walked up to the control panel and began typing in commands.
"Pass" said Robin. "Bat-cave's crowded enough."
"And I'm good in the clone department, but thanks for your concern" said Naruto.
"And get the weapon back in its pod" said Desmond, and Guardian walked forward, putting a hand on Superboy's shoulder, but the Superman clone shrugged it off.
"Hey, how come he gets to call Supie an it?" asked Kid Flash.
Superboy looked to the four in their pods. "Help us" was all Aqualad said.
"Don't start thinking now" said Desmond, his genomorph jumping onto Superboy's shoulder, its eyes and horns glowing red. Superboy suddenly straightened and began walking from the room. "See" continued Desmond. "You're not a real boy, you're a weapon. And you belong to me…well, to Cadmus, same thing."
The woman looked at Desmond, and he nodded, giving her the signal to start the procedure. Suddenly, several mechanized rigs came to life in the pods, stabbing into the four young heroes, drawing genetic material. As it did so, it began delivering them all large electric shocks, causing them all to scream.
"Where's Dubbilex?" asked Desmond, shouting in shock when the humanoid creature from earlier made its presence known. "Ahh, lurking as usual. Get the G-Gnomes downloading their memories. When that's done, and you're sure the clones are viable…delete the source material."
"Superboy" whispered Aqualad. Being able to generate electricity himself, he was able to keep his focus more than the others. He just hoped that the clone boy would hear him with his super-ears. "You, live. That gives you the right to follow your own path. A weapon, or a person. The choice is yours, but ask yourself…What would Superman do?" Luckily, even with his clouded mind, Superboy had heard every word. His eyes narrowed before he through the G-Gnome of his shoulder and turned around.
Suddenly, there was a great noise outside the cloning chamber, causing those inside to look in time to see Superboy rip the door off. As he did, he ripped out several wires, shutting down the processes in the pods, stopping the shocks.
Desmond, Guardian and the Scientist rushed at Superboy as he walked into the room. "I told you to get back to your-"Desmond couldn't finish the sentence as Superboy used his strength to shove all three into the walls of the room.
"Don't give me orders" growled Superboy, before continuing to walk up to the cloning pods.
"You here to help us or fry us?" asked Kid Flash. Superboy narrowed his eyes slightly, before his mouth curved. Not quite into a smile, but certainly not a frown.
"I don't seem to have heat vision, so it looks like helping you is my only option" he said casually. Suddenly, there was a click and Robin dropped down from his pod, his shackles open.
"Ahh, finally. It's a good thing Batman isn't here" said Robin, rubbing his sore wrist. "He'd have my head for taking so long."
"Seriously?" asked Naruto. "That's what you're worried about?"
"The whole League will have our heads after tonight" said Kid Flash. Robin pressed a button, opening to glass doors of the pods, before turning to Superboy.
"Free Aqualad and Kitsune. I'll get Kid Mouth" said Robin.
"Don't you give me orders either" said Superboy, before leaping up to the pods to help free Naruto and Aqualad.
"Thank you" said the Atlantean, getting a nod from the Kryptonian clone. As they ran out, they heard Desmond speak to them.
"You'll…you'll never get out of here. I'll have the five of you back n pods by morning" he said Angrily, trying to stand.
"That guy is not whelmed" said Robin, throwing several projectiles into the pods they were in a few moments ago. "Not whelmed at all."
"What is it with you and this whelmed thing?" asked Kid Flash as they started running again. As they ran, they heard the weapons thrown by Robin explode, taking out the cloning pods with them.
Desmond shook with rage, as his personal G-Gnome hopped up on his shoulder. "Activate every genomorph in Cadmus" he said.
As the five would-be heroes ran through the halls, they vaguely noticed that several portions of the wall had begun to glow bright red. "We're still 42 levels below ground" said Naruto as they ran. "But if we can make the elevator…" He didn't even finish, as in front of the elevator they were running to, two of the larger creatures from earlier came into view, blocking their path. Several more of them came out as well, from every connecting hallway. Stopping, they turned to find the glowing red portions of wall spawning more Genomorphs.
Superboy turned to the giant genomorph beasts and quickly began slamming his fists into them, knocking several of them over. Naruto, Kid Flash, Robin and Aqualad all made it past them, but Superboy continued to fight. As he fought, slamming the genomorphs into the walls, the cavernous hallways began to shake and began to start collapsing.
"Superboy" shouted Naruto. "The goal is escape, not to bury ourselves."
"You want escape?" shouted Superboy, taking one of the large genomorph beasts and throwing it into the last two, taking them down. Running back down the hall, the four reached the elevator and Aqualad ripped open the doors. The elevator was not there, revealing the dark shaft. Flash began using his speed to dash back and forth along the walls. Robin fired a line up and began pulling himself upward as Naruto used is surface walking to run up the shaft. Grabbing Aqualad, Superboy jumped up the shaft, fully preparing to fly them out. There was a technical issue however. He began to descend.
"I'm falling" he whispered in disbelief. Seeing just that, Naruto whipped a Kunai into the wall which Aqualad grabbed to keep himself and Superboy from falling to their deaths.
"Superman can fly" he whispered to himself. "Why can't I fly?"
"Got me, but it looks like you can still leap tall buildings in a single bound" said Kid Flash. "Still pretty cool."
"Thank you" said Superboy, more to Aqualad for grabbing the thrown Kunai.
"Guys" said Robin, pointing up at the lowering elevator that was coming straight at them. "This is going to have to be our exit." Rearing his fist back, Superboy blasted the door out, allowing the five to escape the elevator shaft a moment before the elevator would have come down and crushed them. Looking down the hall, they saw that there were several genomorphs already on their tail. They quickly picked a direction and ran down another hall.
Naruto was keeping watch on Superboy, and noticed his eyes widen in surprise. "Turn left" said the clone, and the four others complied. Again, he seemed to be in thought. "Now right." Once again they followed his directions to find themselves in a dead-end hallway.
"I…don't understand" said Superboy in confusion.
"Great directions Supie, are you trying to get us re-podded?" asked Kid Flash.
"What are you talking about, this is perfect" said Robin, pointing toward a grate high on the wall. Leaping up, Naruto ripped the grate off, revealing the ventilation ducts that were easily large enough to crawl through.
Running through the halls, Desmond and Guardian along with several genomorphs ran down a hall on the floor. "Someone, Robin I'd wager" said Desmond. "Hacked our systems, deactivating internal security cameras. But, he neglected the motion sensors. The genomorphs are closing in."
Running into the Men's bathroom, he continued. "They're all coming out in here…we have them cornered." Looking between his scanner and the vent, he waited, hearing the telltale signs of someone crawling through the ducts. Suddenly, the grate burst off and several genomorphs shot out, toppling Desmond. He shoved them off with a growl. "He hacked the motion sensors" he said angrily.
"I hacked the motion sensors" said Robin, he and the group in another part of the building completely.
"Sweet" said Kid Flash, high-fiving the Boy Wonder.
"Still plenty of them between us and out" said Naruto.
"But I've finally got room to move" said Kid Flash, lowering his goggles and dashing through a doorway into the stairwell, bowling over any stray genomorph in his path. The rest of the group following behind, bringing up the rear.
"More behind us" said Robin. Superboy turned and once Naruto and Aqualad had passed, he stomped down on the stairs, hard, collapsing them, cutting off the following genomorphs. When they finally reached the top, the lights turned red and alarms blazed, followed by several hallways to be cut off.
"Oh crud" said Kid Flash, trying to stop in time, but he ended up slamming into the strong metal panel blocking the hallway.
"We're cut off from the street" said Aqualad as the other four arrived.
"Thanks, my head hadn't noticed" said Kid Flash, rubbing the side of his head. Superboy and Aqualad tried to open the door, but to no avail. It wouldn't budge.
"I can't hack this fast enough" said Robin.
"Out of my way, all of you" said Naruto. They all looked to see a strange sphere of some type of energy in his hand. Running at the door, he slammed it into the center with a cry of "RASENGAN." The attack began literally drilling into the metal door, before exploding, causing the door to creak and warp, but it didn't break it. Preparing another, Naruto's mind was suddenly assaulted by a horde of genomorphs that had gathered behind them. He and the others dropped to the floor, barely conscious.
As they lay motionless, Dubbilex stepped forward, his horns on the side of his head glowing red. Perhaps for the sake of ALL genomorphs, our brother Superman should make up his own mind." The five boys on the ground could each hear the telepathic voice of the tall genomorph. Superboy's eyes widened in realization.
"It was you" he thought in reply.
"Yes brother" thought Dubbilex. "It was I who set the fire and lured your new friends to Cadmus. Woke them when they were in danger…"
"And guided me" thought Superboy. "Why?"
"Because you are our hope" replied Dubbilex. "The genomorph hero. You will blaze a trail for all our brothers. Showing us the way to freedom."
"Uhh, what's going on?" asked Guardian, also in the room, after being freed from his mind control. Slowly, Superboy, Naruto, and the others stood.
"What is your choice brother?" asked Dubbilex.
"I…choose…freedom" said Superboy, each word said clearly and deliberately.
"Good for you" uttered Naruto quietly, smiling slightly under his mask.
"Guardian?" said Aqualad, and the golden-helmeted man just nodded.
"Go" he said. "I'll deal with Desmond."
"I think not." Many of the genomorphs parted to reveal Dr. Desmond standing behind them, a deadly glare on his face. Holding up a vial of blue liquid, he continued. "Project Blockbuster will give me the power to restore order to Cadmus." As he finished, he downed the entire vial. The reaction was instantaneous. His form began to quiver, and he writhed as though in pain. Dropping to his knees, the man's glasses fell off and shattered on the floor.
His form began to grow and increase in muscle mass. He became so large that his shirt and lab coat were torn to shreds from the strain. He looked up and let out an inhuman roar as his facial structure changed and his eyes became two glowing red pupils in a field of black. His skin began to tear, before much of it ripped off completely. What lay underneath was a putrid grey color. On this…creature's face was what was left of the true face of Dr. Desmond. Breathing deeply, the creature looked at itself before staring down the five junior heroes, a predatory grin etched into its face.
"Everyone back" said Guardian, rushing the creature that had once been Desmond. However, his attack was wholly ineffective as he was swatted away as though nothing more than a fly. He smashed into a wall, knocking him unconscious despite his helmet.
With a war cry, Superboy leapt into action. Jumping into the air, he came down with a brutal punch to the Blockbuster creature. It seemed ineffective and Blockbuster countered with a downward punch to Superboy's face. The teen of steel merely glared up at his transformed creator, before sending a flurry of punches to Blockbuster's face, each hitting their mark, but barely phasing the creature.
Blockbuster sent a powerful hook to the side of Superboy's face, sending him skidding and bouncing on the floor. Leaping back to his feet, Superboy leapt into the air once more. As he was about to send a downward strike at Blockbuster, the creature leapt up, catching the boy in mid-air and sent them both through the ceiling up to the street-level facility.
"Ok, that's one way to bust through the ceiling" said Robin, firing a line up and grabbing Kid Flash, retracting it.
"You think lab coat planned that?" asked Kid Flash as they went through the gaping hole left by the two titans.
"I doubt he is planning anything anymore" replied Aqualad, though it was more directed at Naruto than Kid Flash. The boy nodded in agreement.
"And if that's the case, then that leaves us to do the planning" he said, before leaping up through the hole as well, followed by Aqualad.
They got up to see Blockbuster holding Superboy in a crushing bear-hug. Snapping his arms and legs out, he broke free, but Blockbuster grabbed him by the ankles and spun around, throwing him over to the Cadmus front desk. As he flew in, Naruto shoved Aqualad out of the way, and because of that was hit by the flying clone in his place.
Dashing toward them, Blockbuster roared and threw a punch at Kid Flash, who slid beneath his feet and came out behind him, hunched over. Leaping at him, Aqualad and Superboy threw two devastating punches at the beast, causing him to back away and trip over the hunched Kid Flash.
"Learned that one in Kindergarten" said the speedster, as Robin and Naruto leapt into the air. Robin threw several exploding disks, while Naruto threw several kunai with exploding tags. Blockbuster merely knocked them away like they were nothing, causing them to explode harmlessly away from itself. Turning, it saw Superboy and quickly got up and slammed him into one of the concrete support beams. Superboy threw a few punches in retaliation, but Blockbuster threw his own punch, nearly sending Superboy through the column.
As he reared back for yet another blow, Blockbuster was caught by a whip that Aqualad had fashioned out of water. Pulling the Atlantean towards him, Aqualad kicked Blockbuster in the face, before rebounding off the support column and forming his whip into a mace, slamming down, only to have it be caught by Blockbuster and thrown away.
"Superboy" shout Naruto. "Think you can send him my way?" As he spoke, he formed his hand into a cross shape, forming four clones, each of which put their hand in the middle of the semi-circle they had formed. "I've got a new move and this guy is just begging to see it."
"Right!" shouted the clone, rearing his legs back and kicking them out, sending Block buster skidding back. Leaping up, Aqualad water-maced the mutant-Desmond in the face, sending him back even further. Next was Robin's turn, throwing an exploding disk at Blockbuster's feet, causing him to be blown back and turn in the air to face Naruto.
"Here we go guys" said one of the Narutos. The other four young heroes looked on amazed. In his hand was an incredibly large version of the strange attack he used on the door earlier. Each of the copies with the original were using their free hands to keep it stable. Blockbuster's eyes widened when he and the attack connected. "FIVE-WAY RASENGAN!" shouted Naruto. Blockbuster's stomach was steaming, the super Rasengan tearing away his mutant flesh. He was suddenly blown back, upward into the ceiling, causing it to crack all over. He seemed to stick for a moment before falling, hitting the ground with a large amount of force. As he was about to get back up, a chip of cement hit his head. Looking up all six in the room widened their eyes as the ceiling began to collapse.
"Run, now" said Aqualad, before he and their makeshift team did just that, the roof caving in on Blockbuster just as they escaped the building. Just as they exited the building however, Naruto collapsed, being caught at the last moment by Aqualad.
"Kitsune, are you alright?" he asked, concern evident in his voice.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just realized I shouldn't have left my clones inside" said Naruto. "Kamisama, sore wa mesu-ken no yō ni itai."
"Dude, what's the deal with leaving the copies in there?" asked Kid Flash. "When you used them earlier they all went up in smoke and disappeared."
"Yes, but when they do, I receive their exhaustion as well as their memories. Do you know what it's like to feel and see a roof collapse on you five times over at once?" he asked. "Sore wa, subete no jigoku no yō ni itai."
"Come again?" said Robin.
"I said, it hurts like all hell" replied Naruto, this time in English.
"I don't doubt you dude" said Kid Flash. As the smoke cleared, Superboy looked upward. With realization, the other four remembered it was the first time he had seen the sky. The first time he had ever seen outside.
"See" said Kid Flash. "We told you we could show you the moon." Looking hard, Superboy's eyes widened when he saw a speck in the moon, which slowly grew larger. As it got closer, Naruto smirked.
"And Superman" he said. "Man, can we keep our promises or what?" Slowly, all the members of the Justice League, Kakashi included, arrived at the scene. Nobody said a word as the teens all looked down at their feet. Hardening his gaze, Superboy stepped up to Superman who rose in eyebrow in question. Lifting up the front of his torn solar suit, the teen of steel revealed the famous S-shield. Superman widened his eyes.
"Is that what I think it is?" asked Batman.
"Um, he doesn't liked to be called an it" said Naruto, but Superboy didn't need anyone defending him.
"I'm Superman's clone" he said. Batman stepped forward with an appraising eye while the rest of the Justice League sans Kakashi and Red Tornado all looked shocked.
"You need to fill us in" said Batman darkly. "Now." The five looked at each other and then began explaining themselves.
Several members of the Justice League began overseeing the moving of Blockbuster, taking him to a secure facility. He was taken away by the two Green Lanterns, Hawkman and Hawkwoman, as well Captain Atom. Superboy looked off to the side, seeing Superman speaking with Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter. Looking back toward him, Superboy looked away as Superman walked up to him. The Man of Steel began to speak.
"We'll figure something out for you" he said. "The League will, I mean. For now, I'd better make sure that Blockbuster creature gets squared away." Naruto sighed, recognizing the tone. He was avoiding the question. Before Naruto could call on him though, Kakashi put a hand on his shoulder. Looking up at his Sensei, he saw the silver-haired man shake his head as Superman flew away.
"Cadmus will be investigated." They turned to see Batman step forward with Flash and Aquaman. "All fifty-two levels. But let's make one thing clear."
"You should have called" interrupted Flash. Naruto nearly facepalmed. Apparently Flash was as quick to but in as his kid counterpart.
"End results aside, we are not happy" said Batman, ignoring Kakashi's quiet 'Speak for yourself.' "You hacked Justice League systems, disobeyed direct orders, and endangered lives. You will not be doing this again."
"I am sorry" replied Aqualad. "But we will." The Leaguers seemed shocked for a moment. They had expected a bit of protest, but not such an adamant statement from Aqualad of all of them.
"Aqualad, stand down" said Aquaman, in a commanding tone.
"Apologies my King" said Aqualad. "But no." Aquaman raised his eyebrows. He seemed to be a mixture of irritated and impressed at the same time.
"Your protégé is right" said Naruto. "We did good work here tonight. The work you trained them to do. The work I was trained to do."
"Together, on our on, we forged something powerful" continued Aqualad. "Important."
"If this is about your treatment at the hall" said Flash, "the four of you-"
"The five of us" corrected Naruto. "And it's not."
"Batman, we're ready to use what you've taught us" pleaded Robin, walking up to his mentor. "Otherwise, why teach us at all?"
"Why let them tell us what to do?" demanded Superboy, also stepping forward. "It's simple. Get on board, or get out of the way." Batman merely glared, but Naruto and the other four noticed that Kakashi was behind the other heroes nodding his approval.
Mount Justice-July 8, 08:04 EDT
Standing in a large room inside the mountain, the five, now wearing civilian garb, looked in awe at the heroes setting things up. Naruto wore a black t-shirt with his usual red spiral, but on his chest instead of his back. Around his neck hung the necklace he had gotten from Tsunade, and he wore a pair of blue jeans.
Kid Flash now wore a blue shirt with a white, long-sleeve undershirt and brown pants with sneakers. Robin wore an orange hoodie with a brown coat. He wore a pair of dark sunglasses to conceal his eyes in place of his domino mask. He wore a pair of black pants to finish the outfit. Superboy now wore a black t-shirt with the classic S-shield on it, along with a pair of jeans, and Aqualad wore a blue and black sweat shirt with a pair of black pants.
"This cave was the original secret sanctuary of the Justice League" said Batman. "We're calling it into service again. Since you five are determined to stay together and fight the good fight, you'll do it on League terms. Red Tornado and Inu have volunteered to live here and be your supervisors. Black Canary, as well as Inu will be in charge of training. I will deploy you on missions."
"Real missions?" asked Robin.
"Yes, but covert" replied Batman.
"Which is perfect for you Naruto. Train your stealth more" said Kakashi. Naruto nodded. He could deal with this kind of work.
"The League will still handle the obvious stuff" said Flash. "There's a reason we have these big targets on our chests."
"But Cadmus proves that the bad guys are getting smarter" continued Aquaman. "Batman needs a team that can operate on the in secret."
"The six of you will be that team" finished Batman.
"Cool" said Robin. "Wait, five?" Looking past them, Batman indicated for them to turn around. In walked Martian Manhunter, along with a green-skinned girl about their age. She had red hair and freckles, wore a white shirt with a two red bars over it, forming an X shape. She wore a red belt and blue skirt, and had a blue cape with a hood.
"This is the Martian Manhunter's niece" said Batman. "Miss Martian."
"Hi" she said with a little wave.
"Liking this gig more every minute" said Kid Flash, before stepping up and speaking to the Martian girl. "Welcome aboard" he said. "I'm Kid Flash, that's Robin, Aqualad, it's ok if you forget their names."
"Bakadearu koto o yameru" said Naruto, but instead of Kakashi hitting him, this time Naruto slapped Kid Flash over the head. "Sorry about him. He gets excited meeting new people, but don't worry. He's house-broken. I'm Kitsune, and this is Superboy" he continued, introducing himself and the teen clone as the young speedster had forgotten.
"I'm honored to be included" said Miss Martain, blushing slightly in embarrassment. As Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad made their way over to the new team member, Naruto and Superboy stayed back.
"Hey you two, come meet Miss M" said Robin, and Naruto and the clone eventually made their way over. As they did, Naruto saw Miss Martian's shirt change. Fading from white to black, the spot where the bars connected in a X expanded to form the same spiral that Naruto had.
"I…I like your shirt" said the Martian girl, blushing a bit. Naruto blushed slightly too, and Robin and Aqualad smirked at the two's reactions to each other.
"Today is the day" said Aqualad, and the other heroes all smirked.
