*Batman, 52, Red Arrow, 21, Flash, 54*

"Authorize access Designation D01 through 3," Dick said as he Bart and Will entered the cave. Cave Justice, the second cave dug by the League was designed for the Team when the Watchtower got crowded in the 2020s.

The Team chose to leave the Watchtower as Bruce Wayne would say, but in actuality he all but presueded them to pack up and find a new base. Politely of course.

*Robin, D01, Corvus, D02, Impulse, D03*

Instantly Impulse started running around the common room inspecting every inch. He went to the far East wall first. 150 inch wide screen, flat television. Retro. Neato.

He dashed for the couch, the 16 piece, black leather, U-shaped sectional that sat around two feet away from the TV.

"Crash!" He exclaimed. He then ran for the North wall. Where there sat a bookcase the entire size of the 44 foot wall, and nearly up to the top of the 11 foot ceiling.

"IIiad, 1731, written by ah who cares he's dead!" Carter said, putting the Ancient book down and bolting for the South wall, or the half wall and two arches to the kitchen.

"So this is the cave?" Robin said, looking around in awe. Batman smiled at him and put a hand on Justin's shoulder.

"Don't be intimidated, this isn't the Watchtower." He said. This group of protegees knew of the Watchtower. Unlike Dick and his team who found out from Will. The League tried not to keep the basics secret anymore.

Justin nodded to Dick's advice. And walked over to the kitchen, followed by the others. They saw Carter digging through the fridge. He held an empty milk carton in one hand and a bag of berries in the other.

He looked up and smirked at Corvus. He threw the berries at him and Asher caught it.

"You look like the kinda guy who like fruit," Carter said, winking at the boy. Asher only rolled his eyes and placed the bag on the island.

"Carter save some food for the girls when they get here!" Bart exclaimed, Carter gazed up at his mentor.

"Girls! No more sausage fest!" He shouted. He threw the milk carton away, closed the endlessly deep fridge and ran out of the room. He came back in a few seconds later. His golden hair combed to the right and his mask pulled off.

"You have the attention span of a second grader," Asher remarked bluntly. Carter smiled and ran over to him, giving him a tight hug.

"Thanks man!" He said, pulling off of Asher but leaving an arm around his shoulder. Asher's eye started twitching very visibly. He crossed his arms and started fuming at Carter's well.

Carter.

Will and Bart smirked at each other and Bart shookhis head and walked over to Carter and pulled him off of the other boy. He then pushed Carter under his arm and head locked him and rubbed a fist on his scalp.

"I hope we aren't late," A familiar voice said, all the boys then turned around to the Zeta Tubes and smiled. At Miss Martian, Red Robin and their sidekicks.

Next to M'gann was a young Indian girl, around 15 in age from Justin's observation of her. She stood around five foot. Small girl. Her skin was deep brown as were her wondrous eyes. Scanning the room in wonder as Justin did as well.

She wore an all-black two-piece, long-sleeved and full-length, with padding on her elbows, knees, and shoulders, midriff bare. She wore her brown, waist length hair in a tighter, higher braid at the top of her head, and a simple black mask over her eyes.

And next to Tim was a second teen girl, standing in at 5'6'', much taller than the first girl. Justin knew her. Robyn, not to be confused with his alias. He foresaw problems here.

She had neck length red hair that fell loosely around her shoulders. She wore a suit that consisted of. Black short-sleeved leather jacket, light blue armored chestplate worn underneath and a short-sleeved black compression shirt under all of it. Black fingerless gloves reaching halfway up forearms. Black, form-fitting leather pants, with her bandana tied above her left knee. Black combat boots.

To Carter she looked like a female Nightwing cosplay. Especially in the hip region.

She caught him staring. She shot him a spiteful glance and he stopped. Face turning red.

"Team, meet Bina and Robyn. Or Wraith and Firefly." Batman said, introducing the girls to the boys.

"Sup," Robyn said, raising a hand up, Carter liked her. She had a demeaner of cool.

Then Bina interrupted his gawking.

"Hi, I'm Bina! Or Bean! Call me that," She said, running up to Impulse and hugging him, "You are really cool I saw you on the news 'Impulse fastest boy alive!"'

Carter laughed. Asher sighed. Two Carters. Two Carters! God help he thought.

"Oh and you, all heroic and stoic, pretty cool," Bean said pointing at Corvus. Who tried to hold in the smile. She seemed nice, and didn't jump on him like Carter.

People like Carter had clear boundaries. Nonexistent. Carter could literally run up to a man or woman he didn't know and ask them for a freaking piggy back ride! Or give them one!

Asher, the exact, polar, complete opposite. He had walls, not out of insecurity or nothing, just that he doesn't really know Carter. Why would he want to spend time in the boy's arms.

Bean could see it. How these two were different. She liked the diversity of personalities in the room. She was bubbly, Carter was eccentric, Asher was closed off, Robyn was cool, and Justin was shy. At least that was her barest observation of her new team.

Not using her telepathic powers. Although her empathy could feel each of their emotions. Carter was excited, but you didn't need to read minds to see that.

"Carter, that's the name, that boy is Asher," Carter said, pointing at Corvus, who never revealed his ID to him. "I know you never told me that but I kinda snuck a peek at your drivers license!"

What the. When?

"And I don't know about boy wonder, his name is a mystery to me that I'll solve," Carter said. Bean smiled.

"His name is Justin," Robyn said, peeking up from her phone. Justin's jaw hung agape and he glared at Robyn. Carter gave her a thumb's up. She returned it.

"What's today?" Dick asked Will, leaning into his friend's ear. Will smirked and glanced at Dick.

"The Day, Today's the Day." He answered. And the five Justice Leaguers smiled at the new Young Justice.
