Chapter Four:

The League...

For most people, a weekend outing usually consisted of going to the park or a nice restaurant, but Artemis' family wasn't like most families. For them, it meant making sure she everything for one set of twins while keeping the other set calm and keeping the oldest 'child' from freaking out. The drive to the Zeta Tube felt like it took forever, but it was worth it once they finally arrived at their final destination: the Justice League Watchtower.

As they walked away from the Zeta tube, Artemis could tell that Karen was anxiously waiting for something.

"Ok Karen," she said with a light laugh, "Go ahead."

The young redhead smiled before flying up into the air.

"Oh she is going to be 'fun' to get down." Wally said, watching the girl fly around.

"Not if you know how to," Artemis said kissing his cheek.

"Since when did Mouse learn how to fly without her wings?" Bart asked, appearing next to his cousin.

"About the time you learned not to call her that, Bart." Wally said before a construct hand Gibbs slapped the younger speedster.

"Morning, Target Practice." Kara said sounding annoyed.

Bart's gaze shifted from Kara to her twin and back before asking, "Why are there two Karas?"

"Long story, but the one flying isn't Kara." Wally replied.

"Ok, then who is it?" Bart asked as Karen silently flew up behind him.

She leaned forward and whispered in a gruff voice, "I'm Batman."

The speedster let out a startled yell before zipping behind her twin. He barely had time to glare at the girl before he heard the sound of a baby crying.

"What did I tell you about waking my little brother and sister while they're napping?" Kara asked as she slowly looked over her shoulder at him.

"Five second head start." he quickly said before running off.

"I'm sorry." Karen apologized as she landed on the ground.

Kara looked at her twin and asked, "Why? Nicholas and Reina were watching you fly around when he got here."

"She's right," Artemis said before picking Reina up, "If anything, all you did was startle Reina a little."

"Granted I think Nicholas needs to be changed." Wally said before picking his son up. He grabbed the diaper bag and gave his wife a quick kiss before walking towards a hallway.

"Bathrooms are that way?" Karen asked watching her father for a few seconds.

"Those and the changing rooms," Kara said before something was placed on her head,

"Hi Wolf." She turned around and hugged the venom enhanced animal.

Then they heard a familiar voice say, "I was wondering when you would get here."

"You try corralling four kids and a husband, who is still a kid at times, Conner," Artemis said as the Kryptonian clone walked up, "How's M'gann?"

"She's good, and is going to be excited you brought the twins," he said before looking at Karen, "So you're the other Earth version of Kara."

"Yup," Karen said smiling brightly.

"Out of curiosity, how different is this world from yours?" he asked.

"There was some differences, but not many," she said as Wally walked up, "Does Superman still have the suit that makes it look like his underwear is outside his pants?"

"Yup," he replied before looking at the former team archer, "I like her."

"Wait till you see her in action," Artemis said with a knowing smile, "Kara, you and Karen go gear up and meet us over in the training area."

"OK mom." Kara said before the two girls ran off to the changing area.

"Do you really think it's a good idea to let those to team up?" Wally asked as he carefully put his son back in the stroller.

"According to Diana, they never said a word to each other when she was their substitute gym teacher, yet they worked together like Batman and Robin." Conner said looking over at the speedster.

"Not just that, Wally," Artemis said as they started walking towards the training area, "The League wants to see what all Karen can do. I just hope they don't have her face Jamie."

"Why do you say that?" Conner asked a little puzzled.

"Her nickname for him was Cannon Fodder," Artemis said as she noticed that almost the entire League was present, "I have a feeling there is more going on then what I was originally told about."

"It got decided that Karen is going to face three people to get a full sense of what all she can do," the said before pointing over at a familiar redhead, "And before you ask, it was Barbara's idea." Artemis gave a slight nod before walking over to her friend.

"Karen is facing Nightwing, isn't she?" the blonde asked trying to stay calm.

"To determine hand to hand combat skills," the redhead said not sounding too happy, "Otherwise, she'll be facing Captain Marvel and Blue Beetle to measure her abilities and weapon skills since it makes more sense to have her face them than the training drones per Batman."

"And he just put three people on the injured list," Artemis said sighing. She walked back over to her husband and placed her daughter in the stroller as he asked, "So who's Karen facing?"

"Three people that made Karen mad back on her Earth." she said as her other two girls came walking up.

"Why is everyone here?" Karen asked softly as she looked around the room.

"I think it's to see how much you and Kara are alike," Wally said looking at her, "Interesting look kiddo."

"Thanks, but it's just a white version of mom's gear when she was part of the team as an archer." Karen said started to stretch.

"Minus the goggles," Artemis said looking at her husband, "Those are based off her father's Kid Flash days."

"So this is Mouse 2.0 that everyone has been talking about, huh?" Nightwing asked walking up.

"What did you call me?" Karen asked as she slowly glared at the former team leader.

"He'll never learn." Artemis muttered while hanging her head.

"You're first, Less." Karen said before walking to the center of the training floor.

"This is going to be bad isn't it?" Wally asked as his best friend walked to the training floor.

"She hates being called mouse as much as Kara does, so yeah," Artemis said looking towards the young girl, "Funny as all get out for us, but bad for Dick."

All eyes turned towards the two as they got into their stances. White construct numbers appeared above their heads and began to countdown to the start of the match. It was Nightwing that went first once the match began by sending a kick directed towards her head. Karen turned to her right as she grabbed his foot and shoved it behind her with one hand as the other smacked his leg in the opposite direction while she dropped to a knee.

A loud collective groan echoed from the League members as Nightwing's crotch slammed down onto the girls bent knee.

"That's for calling me mouse." she said before locking her arms around his waist and throwing him at Bart. The two collided and hit the floor with a dull thud.

"Remind me to never call her mouse." Wally said as he watched the girl get to her feet.

"Only family is allowed to call her that or any other name like Pixie and such," Artemis said with a slight smile, "And I think that just made her mad."

"If you're going to send someone without powers against me…" Karen said looking towards Batman, "I suggest you act like a man and face me yourself instead of being a bully hiding behind a mask that makes others do his dirty work for him because he's afraid women won't want him because he broke a nail….or his pretty face got messed up."

The dark knight's eyes narrowed slightly before he said, "This exercise is to find out the current limits of yo-"

"You want to know my current limits?" she asked cutting him off and the anger was apparent in not only her stance, but her voice as well, "I'm as strong as Wonder Woman, I can fly like Superman, plus I have his x-ray vision, different members of my Earth's Justice League taught me how to use my surroundings to my advantage, and I know how to stop someone with one hit….as you can see from Less. The only thing that Batman taught me was how big of a dick he was. For three months straight after mom died, he had me dodge baseballs that Captain's Marvel and Atom were throwing at me while trying to not only fend off attacks from him, but trying to slice metal chess pieces with my sword that Black Lightning was rail-gunning at me; but none of that matter in the end; because it was the 'mighty' Batman that ordered the League to stand down when Savage and Darksied attacked. And just why did he order that, you might wonder? Darksied made Batman believe he captured and would kill Wonder Woman if the League didn't stand down. Not only did he lie, but he and his 'team' slaughtered all but five members of the League and team while broadcasting it worldwide. So you tell me why I wouldn't want to take any anger I have for that Batman out on you? Now either grow a pair and step onto the training floor so I can give you the beating that coward deserves, or activate the training drones so I can take out my misplaced aggression on them. The choice is yours."

The room was quiet for a few seconds before the dark knight brought up a holo-screen and pressed a few buttons.

"Training program active: Level Batman." a computerized voice said as a number of robots rose up from the floor.

"Guess you're not as stupid as you dress," she said looking over at her new opponents, "Henshin."

Karen started working on the drones slowly at first.
