Hey guys. So this chapter might be a little bit shorter than I would like it to be, but my brother got married yesterday, and as family of the groom, there was a lot to do. And then I haven't even seen the new episode you know, only the newest one from the new season, Young Justice: Invasion.

MY MIND IS EXPLODING. Oh well. At least it comes on tomorrow. So depending on what the new episode and the new season holds, I may or may not follow the series. Cause I had an idea of what was going to happen, but then I did some more research based off of the promos. So yeah, I'll just see based off of the episode. So here you go, chapter two!

Reasons and Results

Whoever had the bright idea to lock the team up in the cave "until further notice" should be dragged into the street and shot with an arrow. At least, that's what Roy thought. It had been almost four weeks since the Justice League put the team on house arrest, with their only supervisor being Roy Harper, the only 18 year old and member of the Justice League on the premises. But as much as Roy disliked being locked up in the cave, he did have to give the League credit for their reasons, because they were pretty true.

For one, there is a huge suspicion that all of the team's secret identities were given away to the Light, making it dangerous for them to be out and about in costume and in civvies. Two, with a new member and all of the crazy revelations that the team have found out in the past week or so demands some major team bonding of the highest degree. Three, the League was going to be fighting the biggest of the baddies in the next few weeks, and they didn't think "the team could handle it" (But Roy knew that was just they were saying they were worried about them.) And four, the REAL Roy Harper still has yet to be found, and he could be released at any point in time with who knows what kind of Cadmus programing. All in all, the League figured it would be best for the team to be out of harm's way (and out of their way) for a while.

But while the archer understood their reasons, he still didn't like it. Being on the same team was one thing. Staying the night after a particularly tiring night was another. But living together for an extended amount of time with no way to socialize with the outside world? That was a whole thing on its own.

The first week could be summed up in one word: awkward.

There were several reasons the first week was majorly awkward. The first of the reasons was the fact that the team wasn't used to living with each other and their living habits. Or their living habits when they lived with others. Each member had one or two things that they did that grated on each other's nerves, wither it was intentional or not.

Connor's snores were so loud that it could be heard throughout the dorm halls. They were so loud that Wally had come to calling him Supersnore. Artemis sang in the shower, at the type of her lungs. That wouldn't be so bad—surprisingly, the archer could sing really well—if it weren't for the fact that she showered at 5:30 every day. Wally's eating habits had been bad before, but now that he was living there, he left wrappers and plates everywhere, leaving messes where ever he went. Zatanna spent half an hour to an hour every day in the bathroom, doing only Batman knows what. Despite M'gann and Artemis's protests, she refused to shorten the time, saying she needed the time. Kaldur dripped water all throughout the cave after swimming, and then made the showers smell of fish afterwards. Raquel made the bathroom smell of hairspray and perfume after her turn, and would snap at anybody who touched her food before noon. M'gann liked to try reciepes whenever she had spare time, and it always ended with either the kitchen being unusable for a few hours, something burning/exploding, excess amounts of food that took up the entire fridge, or cooking supplies over everything and everyone. But Robin took the prize for most obnoxious living habits. If you weren't up by 8:30, he used a blow horn next to your ear. The boy trained for about three hours and then gave sweat hugs to anyone who interrupted him on his way to the showers. And that was where the list began with the little bird. Roy could go on and on about all the little things Robin did. But that would take a while.

But it wasn't like they were fighting or anything. Ever since they had returned to the cave, there hadn't been a single fight between any of the team mates. Roy figured it was because of all the insanity or recently, no one was ready to turn on each other. Even if It was about food or who got the next shower. And Roy didn't mind so much.

The second of reasons was the fact that there were two newly formed couples. Robin and Zatanna would disappear for several hours at a time, and would either be seen later with ruffled clothes and hair or be found in a closet somewhere. The two raven haired kids seemed to be the more, rambunctious? Physical? Public? Well, they were certainly the more obnoxious of the three couples in the cave. Wally and Artemis weren't nearly as obnoxious. They were pretty much the same now. Only now, the two would sit next to each other, Wally would put his arm around her, or kiss the top of her head every now and then. And their relationship seemed to improve the tension in the cave. Now whenever one of them would get upset, the other would shut them up with a kiss.

Where Robin and Zatanna would make out on the couch, Wally and Artemis would make out in their room. Where Wally and Artemis would sit next to each other with Wally's arm around her, Zatanna would sit in Robin's lap. It's not like it was a bad thing that Robin and Zatanna were so… public with their affections. It just made it more awkward for everyone else.

The second week of house arrest was a million times better than the first. Where the first week was awkward, the second week was a party. The week long party started on Sunday, when Wally attacked Roy with a large pillow at three o'clock in the morning. This resulted in the archer beating Wally into the hallway with his own pillow, and then the rest of the team walking out clutching their pillows in fear to the fighting red heads. And this resulted in a massive pillow fight between the team.

The next three days were spent doing similar crazy activities. They had a boys versus girls paint ball war, which resulted in the cave walls going from a boring grey to splatter paint rainbow. And then when they were done, they used the rest of the paint to draw their mentor's and their own symbols all over the walls, among other things. Then one night they played Sardines (Hide and Go Seek in the dark) from the time the sun went down to when it rose. Robin obviously won by hiding in the rafters of the training room, wrapped up in his cape like a bat. They even played Indoor Ultimate Frisbee, which may or may not have resulted in 3 lights being broken, the couch being tipped over and a Superboy-Sized dent in the wall.

The rest of the week was more of the calmer days. They had a day long baking contest, with Roy being the judge because he was the adult. (Hey, he wasn't complaining. He got to eat all the food.) Unsurprisingly, it was M'gann who won most of the contests. But Artemis and Robin came in pretty close on some, and even won a few of them. (Who knew Robin could make such fantastic lemon bars?) then the team had movie marathons. They watched everything from Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings to the Bourne and Transporter Trilogies to the Notebook and Titanic. And that lasted a long time, but once that was over, they had karaoke night.

Karaoke night was certainly, interesting. I mean Artemis, Robin, Zatanna, and Roy could sing pretty decently, but everyone else…. Well, Wally could sing pretty well in the girl's opinion. But Roy thought he sung like one of those One Direction boys. And to Roy, they couldn't sing.

The second week was by far the best week of Roy's life. He hadn't laughed so hard since he was still Speedy, and he hadn't seen Robin that carefree since he had first met him. And the romance between the couples had died down, since the never ending competitions and games left no room for alone time. Roy wouldn't complain if the next week was similar.

Oh, if only that were so. The third week of lockdown had everyone at each other's throats. Everyone's nerves were so high strung that if you so much put a toe over the line you got an earful—especially if it was one of the females in the group. Well, M'gann didn't really cry so much. It was more like she cried until you felt bad. But Artemis, Zatanna, and Raquel weren't afraid to scream at you.

Wally and Artemis's fights went from being every now and then to over every little thing. The two of them got into a screaming match almost every other hour. Sometimes it ended in a very public display of affections, or it ended with both of them not speaking to each other until their next fight. At first, it was kinda funny how they found ways to make an argument out of everything. ("You couldn't have just passed the strawberry syrup when I asked you to?"… "Why are you in such a mood? I haven't said anything to you in an hour?" … "Why are you so stupid? I swear it's like I'm dating a stupid little puppy!"

But then it got annoying. But they weren't nearly annoying as M'gann and Connor. Every time they got into an argument, Connor had to practically restrain himself and you could see him visibly trying not to scream at the Martian. While on the other hand, M'gann had no problem with screaming at the Kryptonian. But she didn't scream the way Artemis screamed—full on voice power with a clear, angry face—she screamed while she cried, blubbering at an extremely high pitched level. And that scream-crying voice that M'gann had somehow managed to produce drove Roy up a wall. Once she got going, the only person who could calm her down was Zatanna, and if she was busy screaming at someone else, the green skinned girl tended to just go on and on until she had run out of tears to cry.

But it wasn't like the tensions were nothing but lover's spats. Wally and Robin argued just as much as Wally did with his girlfriend, and Raquel and Zatanna practically had cat fights when they go into it. And Roy wasn't afraid to admit that he got into it with the other team mates. In fact, the only person who didn't get into a screaming match all week was Kaldur. Sure, he had people scream at him, but he never responded back with the same ferocity. The Atlantean desperately tried to be the peace keeper that week. But he failed.

The only good part about that week was when Artemis, Zatanna, M'gann, and Raquel got into a huge catfight. And to be perfectly honest, the boys just sat back and watched. Well, Wally, Robin, Connor and Roy watched, until Kaldur walked in and broke it up. But Roy could have watched it for little bit longer.

Not that he would have told any of them that.

The next half week of lockdown was almost as bad as the third. Only this time, everyone was feeling it: homesick. Even Roy was a little homesick for the little apartment he had some to call home. And even though he wouldn't admit it, he even missed Ollie.

But he wasn't the only one who was missing their mentor. Wally had worn his Flash hoodie every day, and Robin wore his Batman pajama bottoms to breakfast every day. Artemis had spent more time in the archery range than she had in the past three weeks, and Zatanna had spent hours trying to do spells that only her dad could do. M'gann kind of just cried about it, and both Kaldur and Raquel had taken to silence and only talking when they need to. But out of all the team, Connor was feeling the worst of it.

Superman had finally accepted his clone, his son, and now Connor wasn't allowed to see him. The Kryptonian wasn't taking it well. Let's just say that there were more than a few dents in the wall in the training room.

I was Wednesday night when something finally happened. The team was sitting around the dining table, picking at their food, when they heard something they hadn't heard in weeks—the zeta tubes.

Automatically, the entire team leapt up from the table and bolted from the room towards the zeta tubes. At that moment, the team wouldn't have cared if it was Batman or Plastic Man, they just wanted to see someone from the league.

By the time they got there, the zeta tubes had stopped recognizing people, and the team was faced with the most glorious sight ever—their mentors.

Wally was the first one to reach his mentor, but super speed might have had something to do with it. "Uncle Barry!" Wally said, crashing into the red clad speedster. The two fell on the ground, laughing as they did so. Robin was the next one to reach his mentor, running towards Batman at full speed. The young bat jumped into the air when he was a feet away from the older bat, and twisted and flipped onto the caped shoulders of the Dark Knight. But instead of throwing him off like Roy thought he was going to, Batman smirked and gave an approving nod to his protégé.

Soon everyone was reunited with their mentor. Even Artemis was hugging Ollie with all her archer strength. Roy would have liked to sit back and watch the sappy reunions—perfect blackmail—but instead he made his way over to his fellow archers.

Technically speaking, Oliver Queen was, is Roy Harper's father. Roy would be lying if he said he didn't love his adoptive father, but over the past few months, the Cadmus programming had kicked in and the two had drifted. But that was going to change. Roy threw his arms over the already hugging archers, and pulled the two of them close.

It was an archer family reunion. True, he and Artemis had never really been close; in fact, he had felt a tad bit threatened by her at first. But after getting to know her on the team, and then the things she said to him when he was overwhelmed made him… whelmed. There was just a sibling connection between them, and then considering they both had found a father figure in the arrow. So in a way, they were siblings.

"I take it you guys missed me?" Ollie said, laughing as his protégés hugged him. Roy could see Artemis grinning up at her mentor, and he found himself grinning. "You bet we did, Oldie." Ollie laughed at his nickname, and gave the kids another squeeze before pulling away, but keeping his arm around Artemis.

And that may or may not have been a result of Wally being a mere few meters away. Oh, DaddyArrow.

"So, I'm guessing you kids might have had a little bit of fun." The Flash said, whistling at the cave surrounding them. The aftermath of their paintball war was still on the walls, and there were several dents in the walls, as well as several broken lights and a few arrows in the wall. And that was just that room.

The team chuckled nervously, afraid that their mentors were going to have a fit about how they trashed the cave. But instead they just looked amused. "I don't know, I'm kind of liking the new paint job," Ollie said.

"And we can always fix those dents in the wall. How did you manage to get human sized dents in the wall made out of steel." Superman said, raising an eyebrow at the wall.

Robin laughed from his perch on Batman's shoulders and pointed at Connor. "Ask the Boy of Steel. He's the one who dived for the Frisbee headed straight towards the wall."

"Did you guys really play Indoor Ultimate Frisbee?" Flash said, giving the team a look of mock disappointment. The teens nodded, and grinned to each other. Thank goodness they had gotten the couch fixed.

"Hey, at least my team won," Connor said to Superman, raising an eyebrow at the elder Kryptonian. And then to everyone's surprise, Superman laughed at the boys comment and placed an approving hand on his shoulder while he laughed. Connor's team (Robin, Artemis, Raquel, and Roy) high fived each other while the other team grumbled about the unfair advantage that they had.

"So now that you guys are here, where have you been? We haven't been able to contact you guys since you left. And watching the news is boring." Wally said, crossing his arms and glaring up at his uncle. The older speedster chuckled a little bit and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Sorry about that, Kid. But we've been busy." Suddenly the atmosphere in the room changed, from the warm and welcoming reunions to cold and down to business. Robin flipped off his mentor, landing perfectly in front of him. The young boy stood and assumed the position Wally was in, showing no fear to the Dark Knight.

"Too busy to call and check in on your partners?" The entire team held their breath as Robin glared up at Batman, terrified that man would lash out at Robin for back talking. But no such thing happened. Batman's shoulder's suddenly drooped, and he sighed. The Caped Crusader ran a gloved hand over his masked face, and placed the other on his protégé's shoulder.

"The League was on a covert mission that required radio silence. We were over in England as our secret identities while doing work at night suited up. If we had called, the Light would have found out and known where we were, blowing the entire mission. And before you ask, they didn't even know that our alter egos were there, so Bruce Wayne couldn't have called Richard Grayson." Batman explained, giving Robin a look that told him to accept the facts and not question it.

But if that happened, it wouldn't have been Robin he was talking to. "What kind of covert mission?" Batman glanced at the League members before walking over to the computer. After typing for a few seconds, and glancing over his shoulder to the heroes that had gathered around him, he pulled up a picture of a building.

"We had reason to believe that this building is being used by The Light. The local officials had reported unusual activity around that area and unlabeled trucks entering the premises. We thought that it might have been the new location for—"

"Cadmus." Roy's voice wavered slightly as he spoke, but it was only noticeable to him. His voice rang out in the cave, and silence followed. The archer knew he was right by the way his mentor as well as the other Leaguers looked anywhere else in the room.

Batman turned towards Roy, the white lenses of his cowl trained on the young archer. "Yes, Cadmus."

There was a stilled shock from the team as all of them froze; their eyes wide and staring at the bat.

"What are we going to do about it?" It was Artemis spoke up, her hands on her hips, glancing around at the elder heroes. To be honest, the team was expecting their mentors to tell them that they were going to handle it or had already handled it and that they were supposed to sit back at the cave like the good little children that they were supposed to be.

But that's not what they got.

"You will fly to England with us as your alter egos to a conference we will be attending. The conference is being held with the queen of England and several members of the Light. While the conference is being held, you will infiltrate the building and rescue Roy Harper."

"What about Match?" Everyone's eyes trained on Connor, who looked uncomfortable with the sudden attention.

"Match?" Batman's eyes narrowed at the boy. But Connor's gaze held strong against the batglare.

"Match. Superman's other clone. He's full Kryptonian, and kinda feral. But he's human."

"Wait, wait, wait a second," Wally said, stepping closer to Connor, "You're saying that you found another super clone that acts like you when we found you only 24/7 and worse?"

"Pretty much,"

"Why didn't you mention it before?"

"You didn't ask,"

"Regardless of how you came across this, if you can find a way to contain him without damaging the mission, there is no reason you shouldn't," Batman interjected before the speedster could speak again.

"Tonight, all of you will go home with your mentors to pack your things. We will fly out separately on Friday."

With that, Batman closed out the computers, and dismissed the team to go pack their bags to go home. Soon the entire team had filed out of the room, and all of the League as well. All save but two. Batman and Robin.

"So the Waynes are going on a vacation, huh?" Robin said, raising an eyebrow at his father. Normally, Batman would have simply nodded at Robin. But this was Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, so instead the bat smiled and pulled Dick closer to him.

"Come here you little twerp." He said, unceremoniously locking his adoptive son in a head lock and giving him the ever classic noogie. Dick laughed and struggled against his grasp, only to escape and pull him into a hug.

And even though the results of the lock down were not so asterous, Dick did have to give Bruce and the League credit for their reasons for keeping them out of the way: to protect the ones they love.

Tada! There you have it. This one was kinda just me having fun with a filler, or a build up of what's going to happen next chapter, when they go on their mission. And of course, as allways, I really didn't expect to take that turn on their mission, but I think it will be fun. And I think I had a little bit TOO MUCH fun with this chapter and making them do crazy stuff. But at some point in time, I hope to do a spin off story about their three and a half weeks of lock down, with a day to day log on what they did. Let me know if that's something you guys would be interested in.

And let me clear something up about the couples. I may have sounded like I was kinda bashing Robin and Zatanna (do they have an officail couple name?) but truth be told I love them just as much as Spitfire and Supermartian. The way they acted in this is just how I think they would act as a couple, and the same for Spitfire.

But Spitfire's my favorite. Wally and Artemis for the win! :D

Well, I've got nothing else to do today, so I'll probably get started on the next chapter.

Fairfarren! :)
