So to get things started I would just like t thanks all the people that have read and reviewed my story, as well as favorited and followed it as well! I don't want to put all the names down cause it would take too long but everyone on the review list and that have favorited and followed; THANK YOU! So let's get things started here for the next chapter in my story, "Independence Day Pt.1"*

-Past-

-1st POV-

It's officially been five months since I was taken out of my home and mentored into training with Wonder Woman. At first I thought that what was happening was a dream that I was going to wake up from, but safe to say that it was best thing that ever happened to me in my entire life! But enough about that, I should at least explain what's been going on since that fateful day. First of all, I thought that Diana (man that's so cool to say her real name!) and I would be staying around my own town or in New York or someplace o get to know one another and to train and such. Sadly, we weren't going to any of those places but instead, she trusted me enough to take me to the most secret location she knows; her home, Themyscira. It was this giant invisible island in the middle of the ocean that had only women, which was actually a nice change to all the bullies at my old school. I meet Diana's sisters, who actually weren't related but call each other by the bond that they share as women, as well as Hyppolita, Diana's mother and queen of the Amazons that lived on the island. I was happy to report that they accepted me with open arms, and offered to let me stay there during my training, which I gladly accepted. They had many customs that I had to get used, such as no men, worshipping the greek Goddess Hera, who was the creator of their people, and their island, as well as figuring out that they had no electronics anywhere on the island. The amazons explained to me that they stay back in the Greek methods of time, such as Coliseum battles and using fire as the main source of light. When they first asked about my necklace that I had possessed now, I couldn't really tell them what it meant or how it has it's powers. I let them examine it, and in shock they told me that an engraving on the back was a sign of the Greek Gods and Goddesses that their women worshipped. Over the months, they had come to the conclusion that the necklace was made by Hephaestus, the Greek God of blacksmithing and crafts-work who had forged the necklace, and was then blessed with the strength of Hercules, beauty of Aphrodite, wisdom of Athena, speed of Hermes and the use of magic from the Goddesses Hecate. All of this was pretty new to me and I couldn't really believe most of it, but the engravings in old Greek lettering was proof. What didn't make sense was how the amazons didn't know of this necklace from any tales or stories in the books they had read; so how did it come to be, and how did that old woman have it in the first place? Whatever the case, Hyppolita explained that for now as I use the necklace, I'm technically a Demi-goddesses for the time being. More months then went by, and the woman had taught me so much about their history, as well as a few math skills on the side. But the most fun I had was getting use and learning to control my powers from Wonder Woman, as well as learn combat skills from the other women of the island. It was all so much fun, laughing and learning of new things and of my strange powers; but unfortunately it had to all come to end eventually. On the last day of my final month of training, Hyppolita called me to her throne along with all the other Amazons, and told me that my training was finally over. After all the things that I had learned, as well as my powers and my abilities thanks to them, she proclaimed that I had become an official Amazon of Themyscira, and that I could come back any day that I wished. Hyppolita then presented me with a gift; my own lasso and a pair of gold bracelets to use in my days as a hero and true Amazon. I cried a few tears, and then gave Hyppolita a hug and waved goodbye to my sisters. I then ran down to the shore of the islands shore, seeing Wonder Woman in my sights.

-Present-

-3rd POV-

"There you are Katherine, my jet is ready for use to depart to Washington D.C.; are you ready to see the Hall of Justice?" Diana asked, a smile on her face as she looked towards Katherine.

"I was born ready!" Katherine said back, a light smirk on her face. She was so excited to finally see what the Hall of Justice looked like from the inside, and not for tourists either; the places that only members of the League could get into. "I wanted to thank you again Diana. If you hadn't spoke to me that night five moths ago, I wouldn't be here today; I'm honored that you mentored me." Diana walked over to her protege and put a hand on her shoulder, a smile on her face as she nodded

"And I'm honored that I could have such an amazing student." Katherine smiled, grinning as she flew towards the invisible jet in a hurry, laughing happily.

"Come on then, let's get going! Today's the day!" The two then quickly boarded the jet, making their way towards Washington, and to the Hall of Justice where they would meet their friends, and teammates.

Wonder Woman's jet made it to the Hall, landing near the distance as she and Katherine, now transformed as Anarchy, made their way out. Anarchy hovered a few feet off the ground as she looked at the Hall of Justice, completely astounded.

"Wow..." Anarchy could only stare, at a loss for words as she stared at the humongous building that she would be entering in a few mere moments. She saw Wonder Woman make her way towards the entrance, but Anarchy could only plant her feet to the ground, immobilized. What if she made a fool out of herself?! She was going to be in the prescience of some of the GREATEST Leaguers of all time! She suddenly jumped slightly as she glanced to her left, seeing Wonder Woman next to her with a concerned expression.

"Anarchy? Is something the matter?" Anarchy could only look at her feet, nodding a little. She shuffled her feet a little, kicking at the ground lightly beneath her.

"I don't...I don't know if I can do this. I mean five moths ago I was just a normal girl getting bullied about someone's homework not being done, and now I'm here in Washington D.C. with you, about to go into the Hall of Justice. What if I don't live up to to the League's expectations or I make mistakes?" Katherine had been thinking about this for a long time, during her whole training sessions back on Themyscira and even during the plane ride there, and it had been nagging at her for he longest time. Wonder Woman took a breath, looking at her sidekick with a hopeful encouraging smile.

"Katherine, you are the most bright, hopeful and most amazing girl I've ever met. It's ok to make mistakes, they exist so you can learn and grow on them to become a better person. I know that doing something like this can feel tough and terrifying, but I know in my heart that you won't disappoint the League, or myself." Katherine looked up towards her mentor, smiling as she wiped away a few stray tears that had fallen.

"Thanks Diana, I won't let you down; I promise!" Wonder Woman nodded, nodding her head towards the Hall as she and Anarchy made their way towards the entrance of the Hall.

"It seems the others already made it inside; no matter, we're only a few seconds behind." Wonder Woman said with a smile, looking towards Anarchy as she smiled back at her mentor. The two walked into the Hall as Anarchy stared up, seeing the giant statues of the original seven members of the Justice League right in front of her.

"Yeah, no pressure." Katherine said in her mind as she and wonder Woman walked towards a metal door with a sign that said, "Authorized Personnel Only". Wonder Woman quickly typed in a code as the doors then opened in front of the two women. Wonder Woman then gestured her hand towards the door towards her protege.

"After you." Anarchy hesitantly nodded, taking a few cautious steps as she then made her way in, taking a deep breath as she saw that they were now in a small library. She turned around as she looked at all the books as she gave a sound of surprise, but stopped when she suddenly bumped into someone from behind. She quickly caught her footing as she turned around, apologizing quickly when she saw who she had bumped into; Speedy, the sidekick to Green Arrow.

"U-uh, sorry; I didn't mean to bump into you, I swear!" Anarchy exclaimed, a bit nervous as she took a few steps back in order to give the man some space. Speedy quickly looked up ad down at her, as if inspecting her as he gave a short nod.

"It's alright, you didn't mean to. Who are you anyway?" Anarchy jumped slightly, what was she supposed to say?!

"I-I...I-I'm-" "This is my protege and partner, Anarchy." Anarchy felt a hand on her shoulder, knowing it was Diana as she gave a short breath of relief. "Anarchy, this is Speedy, Green Arrow's sidekick. Everyone else is here as well." Anarchy listened as she looked around the room, seeing Aquaman and Aqualad, Batman and Robin and The Flash and Kid Flash, along with Red Tornado and The Martian Manhunter.

"Uh, nice to meet you all." Anarchy said, a small smile on her face as she walked over to Kid Flash and Robin. "Uh, hi; I'm Anarchy." Katherine then let out a hand as she shook robin's hand, the boy smiling.

"Nice to meet you too, I'm Robin, and next to me is Kid Flash." Katherine's hand was then taken by Kid Flash, the boy smiling flirtatiously as looked at Anarchy with a smile.

"I can introduce myself; Kid Flash at your service, if you need anything, just call on me." Anarchy gave a confused look, blushing lightly from the attention she was getting and was certainly not used to. She then gave a smile and a nod, laughing a bit.

"I'll, remember that." Anarchy said when she heard Martian Manhunter speak about what exactly they sidekicks, including her, could do such as go to the kitchen, the gym and even look up books and records.

"Make yourselves at home." Flash said to the group, as Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad took a seat as Anarchy and Speedy stood. Wonder Woman made her way towards the other heroes near another metal door, the sign that quickly read as, "Justice League Members Only".

"We'll be making a quick debrief on the coincidence of four ice villains attacking on the same day. We won't be long." Batman said towards the sidekicks, as another small scanner checked and verified the Justice League members. However, before they members could head out, Anarchy and the others heard an exclamation of protest from Speedy.

"That's it?!" He exclaimed, sounding clearly unhappy. "You promised us a real look inside, not a glorified backstage pass." Anarchy looked towards the ticked off archer, trying to figure out why he was so angry.

"It's a first step. You've been granted access few others get." Aquaman said calmly towards Speedy. "Oh really?" Speedy exclaimed in sarcasm, swiftly gesturing a hand towards a glass window that showed tourists taking pictures of the Leaguers and the sidekicks. "Who cares which side of the glass we're on?!"

"Roy, you just need to be patient." Green Arrow said calmly, walking towards his sidekick with a calm expression. Speedy glared, hands balled into fists, "What I need, is respect." Speedy turned to the sidekicks, including Anarchy as he glared more. "They're treating us like kids. Worse, like sidekicks; we deserve better then this!" Robin and Kid Flash looked towards each other, then at Aqualad then towards Anarchy with a blank look. "You're kidding, you're playing their game? Why? You think they play fair?" Anarchy could tell that Speedy was only getting more angry, but she didn't know what to do; could she do anything? "Today was supposed to be the day! Step One into becoming full fledged members of the League!" Kid Flash looked towards Robin once more before speaking quietly towards Speedy.

"Well sure, but I thought Step One was a tour of the HQ?" That's what Anarchy believed too, but was that not the case?

"Except the Hall isn't the Leagues real HQ!" Anarchy gave a look of disbelief; that couldn't be true, no way. "I bet they never told you that it's a false front for tourists, and a pit stop for catching Zeta Beam teleporter tubes to the real thing; an orbiting satellite called The Watch Tower." Wonder Woman looked towards Green Arrow with a look of disbelief, along with Batman.

"You're not helping your cause her son, stand down or-" "Or what you'll send me to my room?!" Speedy exclaimed, cutting Aquaman off as he gave a hard glare. "And I'm not your son! I'm not even his..." Speedy said, turning to look at Green Arrow, "I though I was his partner, but not anymore." Speedy then took his hat, throwing it on the ground in anger as her turned to storm out. He turned to look at Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad with a glare as he stormed out, "Guess they're right about you three, you're not ready." Anarchy was simply watching in disbelief as she saw Green Arrow's sidekick, Speedy, basically quitting in front of her and members of the League. She took a breath, her hands in fists as she side stepped to quickly get into the teenager's way. Speedy glared at Anarchy, "What, you got something to say to me too?" Anarchy held her round, looking at Speedy with a small glare.

"You shouldn't be quitting, it's not right to you or the others." She said, a sound determined and nervous at the same time. She heard Speedy scoff, looking straight down at her.

"Let me guess, you're new aren't you? Well here's a little tip, quit while you're ahead." With that, Speedy roughly pushed past her, hitting her shoulder to get out of her way as he then stormed out, leaving the room in silence. An alarm suddenly sounded off, as the library screen came on to show Superman, the Man of Steel.

"Superman to Justice League, there's been an explosion at Project Cadmus; there's a fire." Anarchy could see the other Leaguers talking about the fire, when another transmission came on, showing Zatara.

"Zatara o Justice League, the Sorcerer Waton is using the Amulet of Aten to blot out the sun. Requesting full League response!" With a few buttons pushes and small choices of words, the mission was decided by the Leaguers. Anarchy saw Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad walk towards the Leaguers as Anarchy soon followed behind.

"Stay put." Batman said calmly to the four, Anarchy not liking the order. "Why?" Robin exclaimed, not happy and clearly wanting to help.

"This is a League mission." "You're not trained-" "Since when?!" Kid Flash exclaimed, cutting off Flash with annoyance. "I meant you're not trained to work on this team." Flash explained, meaning as with the Justice League. "There will be other missions, when you're ready." Aquaman said, Batman walking forward.

"But for now, stay put." With that in hand, the three made their way into the Zeta Tube with Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman and Red Tornado close behind. Anarchy gave a low growl, not happy with how the group was being treated. Weren't ready?

"When we're ready? How are we ever supposed to be ready when they treat us like..like sidekicks?" Kid Flash said, not in a good mood either about the whole situation.

"My mentor, my kind, I thought he trusted me." Kid Flash quickly turned to Aqualad, disbelief written on his face, as well as slight annoyance and anger.

"Trusted you? They don't even trust us with the basics! They've got a secret HQ, in space!" Kid Flash exclaimed, holding his hands up in the air for emphasis. Anarchy walked towards the group slowly, taking a small breath as she tried to gather her thoughts as well.

"What else aren't they telling us?" Aqualad asked, as Robin looked towards them. "I've got a better question, why didn't we leave with Speedy?" The group looked at a loss as Anarchy decided to speak, softly, but speak.

"What is Project Cadmus anyways?" She asked, looking towards the boys with a confused look. The three turned to her, not knowing when Robin spoke.

"Don't know, but I can find out." Robin said, a smirk on his face with a mischievous glint as he walked over to the main computer and quickly started to reroute it to give the group the info that they needed. Anarchy could see the Boy Wonder hacking through the computer as if it was nothing, the sidekicks surprised.

"Access denied." A computerized voice said, with Robin quickly retorting with, "Wanna bet?"

"Woah, how are you doing that?" Kid Flash asked, sounding slightly freaked out by his friend's antics.

"Same system as the Batcave." Robin simply said, finally getting to the files on the Project Cadmus building. "Ok, Project Cadmus, genetics lab here in D.C., that's all there is. But I'm sure if batman's suspicious, maybe we should investigate."

"Solve their case before they do; it would be poetic justice." Aqualad said, a smile starting to form on his lips.

"Hey, they're all about justice!" Robin exclaimed, grinning as he laughed. Aqualad then sighed, turning to the Boy Wonder.

"But they said stay put." "For the blotting out the sun mission; not this!" Kid Flash then looked over with a grin. "Are you going to Cadmus? Cause if you're going I'm going!" The two best friends then both nodded as they both looked towards Anarchy, something that she wouldn't had expected. "What about you Miss Anarchy? Wanna join us in a perilous mission to found some answers and get some respect?" Kid Flash exclaimed towards the girl. Anarchy looked down for a few moments, thinking to herself. She felt she was ready to be a leaguer, but after what had just happened, she felt that she had to do this.

"Yeah, I'll join you. I need to show Wonder Woman that I'm capable of being my own hero and at least be trusted with a simple secret like the Watch Tower." She then walked over as she smiled towards the two boys, as she then turned to Aqualad. "Are you going to come with us too?" Aqualad looked at the three, giving a serious stare.

"Just like that? We're a team on a mission?" He asked, Robin smirking. "We didn't come for a play date!" The Boy Wonder exclaimed, seriousness in his voice he saw Aqualad smirk as well, signaling the start of their new team. Anarchy then walked over to Aqualad, grinning towards him. "Well, it's nice to meet you Aqualad." Aqualad nodded, smiling as he shook Anarchy's hand. "Likewise. Now, let's get to Cadmus."

The four had made it the Cadmus building, seeing that it was on fire was one of their main goals, as well as getting an civilians out of the building. Anarchy made her way to see that Kid Flash had gone ahead and rescued the two scientists, but was now stuck on hanging onto the ledge of a window.

"So smooth." Robin said, laughing as Aqualad and Anarchy looked at the building. "we''l need some type of plan in order to get in. if we don't it could end badly like what happened to Kid Flash." Anarchy said, turning to look at Aqualad.

"I agree, we need a plan. We-" Aqualad was cut off however due to turning to Robin, but the Boy Wonder was no where to be found. "Robin?" Anarchy looked around as well, but could see now trace of the younger boy, anywhere.

"Robin? Where'd you go we need to think this through." Anarchy said, suddenly hearing laughter as she and Aqualad both saw the Boy Wonder grapple onto the fire truck and towards the window as he helped Kid Flash up and into the building. Aqualad quickly ran over to help the scientists who were trapped as Anarchy quickly flew near the building. She flew close to the flames as she wiped her brow from the extreme heat. With precision and concentration, she began to blow ice cold breath onto the smaller flames, making them turn into icicles as she flew in to save a scientist who was trapped within the rubble. Anarchy quickly grabbed her and flew out, setting the woman down as she then flew off into the building where Kid Flash, Robin and Aqualad were.

"You know you could have helped." Anarchy said towards Robin with a hint of annoyance. She saw that Aqualad felt the same way, though it was too late for apologies. Aqualad walked down a hallway but stopped, seeing someone, or something, go through the elevator and down. "There's someone in the elevators." He said, the others quickly rushing to see what was wrong.

"Elevators should be locked down though." Kid Flash said, confused and suspicious. Robin looked towards the elevator and began to scan.

"This is wrong; I knew it. This is a high maintenance express elevator, it shouldn't be on a two story building." Anarchy looked at the elevator, pushing the button.

"Well there's only one way to find out what it's doing here." Anarchy said, cracking her knuckles as she then put her hands in between the elevator doors. With enough concentration, she ripped the two elevator doors clean off, the sound of metal tearing loudly as she threw the disgruntled metal off towards the other side of the room. Anarchy then slowly looked down the the elevator shaft to see a long dark tunnel of floors, longer then the two story building claimed to be. "Guess it's now or never."

*Well I hoped you liked Independence Day Part 1! I will be making more chapters soon but I don't know when I will because of school and stuff. Please read and review so I can be happy and write more!*
