"It seems like our plan is working, Wonder Woman." Batman said with a sadistic grin. "It looks like they've given up on their little team."
"Perfect, even if our plan to control League Justice failed, we still have the key to taking over. You're daughter is absolutely brilliant. Getting rid of Team Justice was perfect, give her my regards." Wonder Woman cackled.
Zatara gave a scoff. "Of course she is; she is my blood."
"Still her idea to get rid of them was great; I'm thinking we should replace Aqualad as team leader." Wonder Woman suggested. "Maybe we need a female running the team."
The door opened. "You shall do no such thing, as King, Aqualad must be in charge. There is a reason for that."
She scoffed, "Besides the fact, he's the oldest?"
"You hear that, I should be leader, Robin." Zatarra purred against Robin. Zatanna had found him in his little hiding place and pulled him against her chest. "After a few years as leaders I can't wait for us to get married."
"But I'm only thirteen." He cried. She twisted his arm. He cried out.
"We're getting married! Why else did we kiss on New Year's? It was for good luck!"
"More like you pulled him against you and kissed you. I bet he only kissed you back because you threatened him" Wally darkly laughed.
"Fuck off, Kid Flash, stop bitching just because Artemis screws Red Arrow in your bed. Oops, you didn't know." She smirked. Wally growled and sped off to his room and opened the door. To his horror Artemis was on top of Red Arrow moaning. He closed his door and decided to leave.
"Kid Flash, don't you dare leave!" Flash caught up to his partner. "Are you willing to lose your life because of some slut? The League Justice is out for your head. Where are you going to go? You can't leave."
Wally pushed him away carrying his bag on his back. "I'd rather be dead then here." He vibrated through the door and ran.
The Flash turned into the Martian. "He's running, Superman."
He ran and ran until he found himself back in the hideout. "What are you doing?" He looked up to see Superman.
"Kid, I'm not letting you ruin our plan. You're staying. All of you are staying." Superman grabbed Wally's collar and placed him in a room with Flash.
"What's going on?"
Flash sighed. "The jig is up, they know."
"Took them long enough to figure out we're the traitors." Wally laughed. "But seriously putting us in a room-"
"That's made of magic and is combined with the power of the Green Lanterns. Kid, it's indestructible." Flash stated. "I've tried so don't waste your energy. You're going to need it considering what they're going make us do."
"Run? We run all the time."
"Yeah we didn't run enough to ignite the speed force."
"What are they planning?"
"Kid, they're trying to get rid of League Justice."
"That's impossible!"
"Not when they have all three Green Lanterns, two powerful magicians and the smartest guys doing it. I should have pulled you out after the incident with Team Justice. Kid, I didn't want to do this to you but Red Hood wanted an inside job with Young Injustice"
"That's why you persuaded me to come back. It's because they're blackmailing you, isn't it! I knew you didn't want to turn to crime anymore."
"Wally, they have Iris and that's why I convinced you to join Young Injustice and why we're back to this old gig. I quit for Iris and now I'm back for Iris."
Since Wally had obtained his powers like his uncle, they were partners in crime but then Aunt Iris found out and pleaded for them to quit. They had gone cold turkey for a few years. Barry was doing well until a few months before; Iris had gotten kidnapped and was held for ransom until the job was done. Wally had never wanted to quit so he didn't care why his uncle suddenly wanted him to live a life of crime. "You should have told me, that way I could have found out where she was!" He punched a wall. "I care about her too. She's the only woman to not abandon me."
"Wally, look at how you're acting now? You would act like this if I had told you sooner, endangering Iris's life even more. Iris still goes to her job and has a special apartment but she's being tailed by an assassin every minute. We have to stay calm alright." He had given Wally a look and his shoulders relaxed.
Hands slammed against Red Hood's desk. They belonged to a man wearing yellow spandex. "Why didn't you tell me that we had an inside man? Why Flash?"
"Because of Iris West Allen, Flash was desperate about saving her so we set up a deal. He spies and I help him save Iris." Red Hood explained.
The members of Team Justice were waiting for a new mission. It was a month since they finally arrived in this different world. Vortex had conquered Klarion in simulation training and found herself in the hands of Zatanna. Catgirl had developed a few new gadgets to take home after a brief session with the dynamic duo. Pyro finally figured out how control himself. The rest had found some new skills to use besides their powers. KZ had decided to try to use bit of martial arts that he learned from Robin and Artemis with some archery combined. Poison used his new love of acrobatics and flexibility to his advantage. Catgirl and Icy began one on one sessions along with Black Canary. Now Icy could officially whoop butt without a sweat. Catgirl had even developed a new piece of weapon for Icy to use.
However Batman and the league decided that Team Justice could not perform any missions while on this Earth.
"Right so we are not going to be cleared for any missions even though we're ready?" KZ asked for the third time.
Batman glared. "You guys seem ready but since you're from another universe. It's possible that you could disturb the order of our world. We have no clue who yourselves are in this world. It's possible that if they do exist, it could create chaos. From now you are not designated to leave unless accompanied and given permission." He finished.
Team Justice left while Batman briefed Young justice.
If was the day after and the kids were still complaining.
"I want to fight, it's so not fair!" Pyro complained. "They're just like League Justice; they completely just treat us as kids
"I know we've work hard!" Poison agreed with Pyro for once.
The others nodded except the girls.
"Quiet!" Vortex stated. "We will listen and obey, okay? We may be ready but they aren't' ready to us. Catgirl will explain."
Catgirl pulled out her arm and pressed a button allowing a hologram to appear. "We've been here a month and I realized that we've arrived here a couple months prior then our location back at home."
The guys blinked not understanding.
Icy sighed. "She means that it's December here. We haven't exactly looked at a calendar and we just ate Thanksgiving. "
"What? But when we left, it was February. Wouldn't that mean we would be in the future?" KZ theorized.
"It would but I checked the year, we're technically in the past. During the fight with Young Injustice, Zatanna must have wanted us anywhere not caring if we were in the present. Apparently it seems that since our world is parallel to theirs, most everything that happens to our team will happen to theirs. They aren't telling us everything either. They have a mole." Vortex continued.
"A mole, but that means that their mole must be-" Pyro butted in.
The door whooshed. Wally appeared. "Hey, what are you guys doing here?"
They stopped talking. "We're not designated in missions while we're here. Batman is worried that we'll ruin the order of the world." Icy said. "Why don't we go eat something?" She ushered him to the kitchen.
The others decided to finish in the girls' room.
"Hey Catgirl, did you hack into the system?" Vortex asked preparing another spell to block interference and sound proofing the room.
Catgirl grinned but started typing in codes. "Of course, I've placed an image of us doing our usual training in all the cameras. This room is completely safe."
The guys sat on Icy's bed since it wasn't covered in spell books or parts.
"Explain, now." KZ said seriously.
Icy was helping make some sandwiches with Wally.
"Why aren't you on the mission?"
"What mission?"
"Well Robin, Megan, Artemis, Red Arrow, and Conner left for some mission before." Icy informed him already done with some sandwiches.
"What and they didn't take me?"Wally asked. "Hold on, I'll talk to Red Tornado."
"No problem, I'm going to bring this to the guys they would want some. Catgirl can only make Pizza. They'll be starving." Icy brought the sandwiches with her. Kid Flash just scratched his head before running off to find Red Tornado.
Icy knocked on the door three times and it opened. She passed KZ the sandwiches. "Do they know?"
"No you interrupted and hey I know how make other foods, pizza is just my specialty." Catgirl mumbled.
Icy rolled her eyes before pushing Poison off her bed while laying her feet in Pyro's lap. "I had to make something up or else he would expect for me to stay."
"Please we know how much you want him, Icy. What about Robin, we know about your little private sessions?" Catgirl hissed.
Icy hands started to generate ice. "You're one to talk considering how much time you put in working with Superboy and Robin and Aqualad?"
"Ladies, stop, we have a mission to brief." Vortex ordered. The girls stopped and waited for vortex to finish. "In our world, Spitfire exists, robin and Zatanna are together. Young Injustice has a new member. It's obvious what's going to happen here. We've had a mole problem and then we learned the truth. We discovered that our mole was Icicle Jr. Here Artemis and Wally aren't together but there's obviously something there. The same is for Robin and Zatanna. They have a mole problem like us. Soon they're going to discover everyone's secrets like we did. I already know who the mole is but I can't say anything."
Icy sighed. "We didn't exactly tell them everything in order to not jeopardize their actions. There's a reason why he left."
"Yeah but then there's more. Icicle Jr. was being controlled and we found out how." Catgirl continued. "It seems that they broke into Cadmus labs and stole some technology a few years ago. That was how Superboy was created. They must have extracted Superman's and created Superboy."
KZ was about to interrupt. "Yes, KZ, I know that they had created one with the combination of Superman and Luthors. The league hasn't found that one yet. But I found out that Poison Ivy and Catwoman have been studying Icicle's DNA, right Icy?" Catgirl said.
The team looked Icy who had her hands covering her face. "I can't say not now. You'll have to continue without me." Icy left.
Vortex pulled out her spell book. "I've found something that could help. It would allow us to go back home but we need the treadmill."
Poison interrupted." How are we going to get one?"
"Easy, their world is somewhat parallel to ours, so it should be in the Flash museum."
"Alright, let's go!" KZ said.
Catgirl pushed him back onto the bed. "There's only a fifty, fifty, chance, we'll even get back."
"What?"
"We have to get home at the exact time. This world is a few months behind us. If we used the current information based on this world, we would arrive around the time it is now."
"So?"
"We would be a world with two of us. It could ultimately destroy our world. " Catgirl explained looking at the sullen looks of the team.
"Of course there is one other way, but it's the ultimate sacrifice." Vortex added. "We would have to leave someone here. By combining science and magic, I could create a timeline ensuring that only five of us would get home. The sixth member would be the link. They would ensure that the rest of us got home safely and pull us back here if anything goes wrong."
"We don't want to rip the time space continuum. This is why the league has decided not to use the treadmill. They have our coordinates but ensuring that we get there at the right moment would be risky." Catgirl said showing them a timeline and the charts and numbers.
"Then they know we'-
"Yes but they don't want our help. We weren't supposed to be here and we need to get back home." Catgirl said. "This is our only safe option. We have families except Icy."
"I'm not leaving her, behind, Cagirl!" KZ yelled already knowing what they were planning and zoomed off.
"Hey still making sandwhi-, that's a big sandwich!"Icy exclaimed. "Split, it?" Then she thought about the times she split sandwiches with her clone friend.
"Sure, you okay? You seem down." Wally asked giving her half.
"Nothing, I'm homesick, that's all." Icy smiled taking a bite.
"Still you never told me, do you think my eyes are sexy?" He flirted.
Icy paused. "Yeah but I have to go right now." I can't do this. This isn't home and if what I think is going to happen is going to. Then I shouldn't interfere and lets things run its course. I can't let myself do this. It's for the best and for the team. She left Wally bewildered.
A boy in black wearing a red cape and mask hacked into the computers of the League Justice. He was almost done downloading the information when he stumbled upon the live video. He zoomed in.
"How could you do this? We're mortal enemies!" Zoom cried.
Red Hood only continued loading his computer files. He sighed. "If you paid attention for once than you would notice that Flash has just recently returned to crime. Besides I've learned a few things that could help us."
"Like what?" Zoom asked.
The masked vigilante pulled up a program. "Their kids have gone into hiding and they're planning something big."
Icy was stopped by Vortex and Catgirl. The rest of the team had started training and KZ got distracted by the sandwich that was left behind.
"Look we talked and we don't want you to be left behind." Catgirl forced out of her mouth.
"There are other ways to get home but we'd rather have all of us than five. We're sorry." Vortex apologized. "It's just that after we found out about you and Robin. We freaked."
Icy nodded. "I get it I'm friends with him and-'
"Wait, you're friends with him! He nearly killed Ace." Catgirl fumed.
"No he didn't alright, I stopped him."
"You stopped him; then it's just fine for him to prance around and stab people!" Catgirl mocked.
Vortex stepped in between the two. "Stop, but she has a point. You're friends with our enemy. What happens when you have to choose between us or him? Icy?"
She couldn't answer and left. She heard Catgirl mutter 'traitor' and Vortex sigh.
Icy passed by the kitchen. Wally had said hi but she ignored him. She went to the training room. Wally was about to go after her but Zane stopped him. "Don't she's in a real foul mood. I've only known one guy to survive her wrath and he's my best friend."
"Are you sure, she's been like this all day? I mean what if she wants to talk about u-"
"Dude, she's taken by my best friend." KZ said.
Wally almost choked.
Zoom was about to go to sleep when a shadow appeared. He screamed.
"Calm down, it's me." Damian pulled himself into the light. "I know you want to bring them home."
"You're too young and your mother would have my head. Besides I haven't even come up with the formula to start."
"I can help."
Icy decided to sleep on the couch considered she found the door locked. However Megan and Zatanna found her a room to stay in for the night. They could feel the tension during dinner. Icy just slept with a sinking feeling in her stomach.
"Cameron, look destroying-"
"I'm not Cameron; I don't even know who I am anymore!" Ice yelled holding the picture of Ice, KZ, Poison, Vortex and him back in the younger days. "My whole life is a lie. It's my fault that they're gone. I was the mole! I told them everything! They knew everyone's weaknesses and how to hack the system. I let them take them away!" He smashed the picture. "I let down Icy the most. I promised I would stop by that day and I didn't. Look what happened!"
