And here's the next chapter of Lazarus. I'm proud to say that, while not yet written, this story is pretty much completely planned out, and I'm already working on the mainframe for a sequel. Sadly, nobody guessed the first six members of Young Injustice, so nobody got the harem list. Although some people got really close, a few only missing it by one member. However, there's a little surprise for you guys in this chapter, you'll know it when you see it. Now then, nothing else to discuss, so let's jump on in!

Wally West was a boy with many... quirks. Impatient, excitable, quick to anger, and about as perverted as a 15 year old boy could be. As such, when Red Tornado came down from the ceiling hole that led to his room, he was quick to act.

"Do you have a mission for us?" Wally asked, despite the fact that it had been less than a week since they had been on their last mission to solve a cold case from the Vietnam War (1).

"Mission assignments are the Batman's responsibility." Red Tornado responded robotically.

"Yeah, well, 'The Batman' is doing the dynamic duo thing with 'The Robin' back in Gotham..."

Robin's Case Notes, Part 1:

Wally was half right. I was doing the Dynamic Duo thing, but not in Gotham City.

Robin slammed his gloved fist into the face of a nameless shadow, knocking him back. A few yards away, Batman disposed of two of his own opponents, while more Shadows ran forwards as back up. Behind them stood a large rocket, prepping to be launched into orbit.

"I need to get to that rocket." Batman grunted, nailing a Shadow in the face with a kick behind him.

"Roger that! I'll run interference!" Robin yelled, jumping up onto the heads of the Shadows Batman was fighting, distracting them long enough to allow Batman to run towards the rocket. "Happy hunting!

As Batman ran around a parked fuel truck, Ubu stepped out and blocked his path.

"You will not interfere with the Master's desires." He growled out. Lifting his fists into the air, he slammed the down upon Batman, the dark knight barely jumpng out of the way in time. Hit with a snap kick, Ubu was sent stumbling back.

"The Master must learn to live with disappointment." Batman was cut off as Ubu's hand wrapped around his neck, slamming him against the side of the truck.

'Hold tight, Batman! Got your back!' Robin's voice crackled in his cowl's radio. Next thing Batman knew, Ubu was being dragged off by a run-away fuel truck, his foot tied in the truck's nozzle, roaring in anger all the way.

"I love my job." Robin muttered to himself as he watched Ubu get dragged away.

Batman found himself at the base of the large metal tower that held the rocket in place. Before he could do anything, a bullet impacted the metal girder next to him with a loud 'KLANG'.

"That was simply to prove I'm serious."

"Hello Talia"

XxXxXxX

Inside the rocket's launch command center, employees ran around frantically in a panic.

"Tom, shut it down! Shut the launch down!" Carol Ferris, the launch's director, yelled out.

"I can't, sir, uh, ma'am, uh, Carol... Our systems are hacked, we are not in control here. In less than six minutes, that bird's going airborne." Tom stuttered out, pointing at the launch time displayed on the screen. Carol ran her hand through her hair in frustration.

"And I'm guessing its payload isn't for measuring the ozone layer anymore..."

XxXxXxX

"You can't stop me, Talia." Batman's mouth was set in a thin line as he stared down the business end of Talia's gun, his cowl's built in sensors identifying it as a FN Herstal FNP-9.

"I beg to differ, Bruce." That caught Batman by surprise. Since when did Talia stop referring to him as 'Beloved'?

"It's not that I approve of all this, but I cannot risk a confrontation between you and my father." Batman pointed his grappling gun into the air, firing it so that it latched to the top of the tower.

"Then you'll have to shoot me." Talia thought for a moment, then shrugged.

And fired.

Batman lurched to the side, that being the only thing to save his life. The bullet buried itself into his shoulder, and he cried out in pain. Pushing the retract button on his grappling gun, he shot into the air, Talia's bullets missing him by inches.

'What the hell was that?' Batman thought to himself.

Burying the thought, Batman arrived at the top of the tower and ran over to the rocket, doing his best to ignore the pain in his bleed shoulder. Spraying an acidic liquid onto the locking mechanism, he opened up the nose cone, revealing a large crystal. Alfred, who'd been watching the entire mission through a camera in Batman's cowl, spoke up.

'A diamond lens, sir?'

"Yes. Destroying it won't be easy." Batman grumbled.

"Neither easy nor necessary, Detective." Batman whipped around and scowled.

"Ra's al Ghul." He practically spat out the name. Ra's was unfazed.

"Such contempt. And yet I've always admired you. Believed you the only man worthy of my legacy." At this point, Ra's' neutral face turned into a frown. "At least, I did until you broke my daughter's heart, and she found someone better." Batman's eyes narrowed, but he didn't respond.

"Nevertheless, why must all our encounters be so... adversarial?" Ra's continued.

"Something to do with your disdain for human life." Batman could practically feel the monologue coming on.

"Granted, the human race is destroying the planet. You tolerate it. I cannot." Ra's began. "But I believe I've finally arrived at an equitable compromise. By now you've no doubt surmised my satellite focuses the rays of the sun into a weapon, yet the key is it's capacity for surgical strikes. Only large population centers will be targeted... to eliminate the human surplus. Rural and natural areas will be left untouched." Ra's grinned at Batman. "I'll even spare Gotham, since you've developed such an unhealthy attachment to the place. All this is possible, Detective. If only you'd join me." Batman's answer brought a large scowl to Ra's' face.

"Pass."

"There's just no pleasing you." Ra's growled. Reaching into his robe, he pulled out a trigger. "This remote will launch the rocket now. You see, Detective, I've failed in the past by underestimating you. Not this time." A boy's laugh echoed through the air, and Batman smiled.

"This time, I'm not the one you underestimated." Robin dropped down next to Batman, the diamond lens in hand.

"Gotcher nose... cone lens!" Robin joked.

"No..." Ra's muttered.

"Why do the bad guys always say 'no?' They see me standing here with the thing and they still say no." Robin tossed the lens over the edge. "You're in denial, Ra's. Ever thought of trying 're-nial' instead?" Ra's let out a yell and jumped off the tower after the lens. "Wait! I didn't mean for..."

Ra's hit the ground at his daughter's feet, killed instantly. Talia looked at her father's body, then back up at Batman and Robin. Whatever she was thinking was interrupted by Ubu, he had escaped the run-away truck and wrapped his master in his own cloak.

"Mistress, we must hurry!" He cried out to Talia. "The master requires The Pit!"

"Of course..." Talia muttered. "How else would this conflict continue?" With that, she and Ubu made their way to a helicopter that had just landed down, Batman and Robin watching them leave.

'Master Bruce, Master Dick, I have an emergency alert from Red Tornado.' Alfred's voice cut into Batman's and Robin's radios. 'A member of the family has passed.'

Robin's Case Notes, Part 2:

Turns out while Batman and I were facing Ra's, The Team recieved it's own mission. Rescue Kent Nelson, who was once the hero known as Doctor Fate. Results were... mixed.

The Team, some personal friends of Kent Nelson, and a few members of the Justice League stood in pouring rain around a large tombstone. Printed on it were two names.

Kent Nelson. Husband. Hero.

Inza Cramer Nelson. Beloved Wife.

"Kent Nelson did not require a magic helmet to be a hero." Spoke Red Tornado. "Kent dedicated his life to safeguard this world from evil. May he finally rest with his beloved Inza." After his small speech, the rest of the heroes bowed their heads in respect for a few minutes before finally breaking apart. As the funeral ended, Batman and Green Arrow approached the newest member of the team, a blonde haired girl named Artemis.

"Artemis." Green Arrow said, getting her attention. "We'd like to place you under arrest."

"Our master is ready to emerge." Sensei spoke as he, Ubu, Talia, Naruto, and Cassandra stood around the Lazarus Pit. After a week of soaking, Ra's al Ghul should revive fully soon enough. "He will be whole, but he will be weak."

"The master is never weak, Sensei." Ubu snapped.

"My Father lives. Nothing else matters." Talia spoke, only to feel Naruto's hands wrap around her waist and pull her against his chest.

"Are you saying I don't matter, my dear?" He teased. Talia simply sighed, but allowed a small smile, while Cassandra let out an unnoticeable huff at the lack of attention. So what if she'd had Naruto all to herself while Talia was in Cape Canaveral? It still wasn't fair.

The liquids of the pit bubbled, and Ra's burst from the tub with an anguished yell. Ubu immediately ran forward with a robe to clothe his master, and received a punch to the face in a bout of Ra's' brief insanity.

"Not as weak as I thought." Sensei muttered. Ra's stood up, rubbing his head.

"My apologies, Ubu. Resurrection can be... disconcerting." Ubu wiped the blood that leaked from his busted lip away.

"It is I who must apologize, Master. I failed to stop the Bat and his brat."

"Recriminations are useless. But preparations must be made." Ra's turned to Sensei. "The Garden. The Serpent. Prepare, but do not activate."

"Yes, Master." Sensei responded.

"The Serpent? That's pretty ballsy, Ra's." Naruto said.

"True, but there may be a time when only Eden will suffice." Ra's made his way up the stone stairs. "Ubu, attend me."

Sensei, Talia, and Cassandra turned to leave as well, but stopped as the saw Naruto watching the Pit.

"Beloved? Is something wrong?"

"No, not exactly, it's just... did we ever take Matthew Hagen out of the Pit?" As though on cue, the waters bubbled once more, and a second Ra's emerged from the pit. The difference between this and the original was that it was a sickly brown all over, and it's body seemed to drip like mud. As it stumbled down the steps, it changed forms to mimic Talia, and then once more to mimic Naruto. Finally, it's body began to bulge and grow, and it achieved a final form.

Eight feet tall, white eyes, jagged teeth, and a body made completely out of clay, the monster roared. Sensei turned to Naruto.

"I blame you for this."

Infinity Island

The monster had been surprisingly easy to subdue. Although he had his new form, Matthew Hagen was still a Shadow, and as such followed the orders of Ra's al Ghul and Naruto. A simple command to sleep, and it immediately destabilized, becoming nothing more than a large puddle of mud on the floor. Ra's, still embarrassed by his latest defeat, decided to send it to the Batman as a 'gift' for his interference. And so, the newly named Clayface was sent to Wayne Industries in a metal barrel, where he broke loose and terrorized the city for nearly 24 hours. The Team held off the monster long enough for Batman to arrive and destabilize Clayface with a tazer tuned to a specific frequency. Artemis, however, was sent undercover to a local police station in Star City, where she managed to weasel a few hints out of childhood friend Cameron Mahkent, a.k.a Icicle Jr., implying some sort of operation that would be taking place at Belle Reve Penitentiary in the near future (2).

Naruto sat at his laptop, the Gotham Evening News playing in the corner of his screen, detailing Clayface's attack. However, Naruto's attention was on the 'Young Injustice' file opened on his desktop, and the multiple criminal bios that zoomed past his eyes, being organized in two stacks. While his original six members would be a great start, their powers, if they had any, did not show much diversity. Not to mention it would be a few weeks before Psimon could completely stabilize Project Match's mind enough for him to join their team. In the meantime, he was reading over the bios of nearly every young villain known, examining their powers, their psyche, their personalities, and either moving them to the left as possible members, or to the right if they were denied.

His thoughts were interrupted as a slender hand reached over his shoulder and closed his laptop. He felt a large pair of breasts press against his back as the hand and its twin wrapped around his chest, and a woman's voice whispered in his ear.

"Hello Beloved." Talia breathed into his ear. "Do you know what today is?"

"August 27th?" Based on her sigh of exasperation, he doubted that was the answer she wanted.

"Yes, but not what I was looking for. Try again." She purred the second sentence, trying to bring back the emotion.

"Um... Saturday?" Her forehead dropped onto his shoulder, and he knew he'd said the wrong thing again.

"It's our anniversary." His blood ran cold. That couldn't be right. It was only August. Their anniversary wasn't for another two months! "We first met exactly one year ago."

"Don't most couples celebrate their anniversary on the day that they first became a couple? I'm pretty sure we didn't get together until October."

"Today is still important to me." She mumbled into his shoulder. "It was the first time I met you." Naruto sighed, stood, and turned turned around. The moment he saw her, he immediately wished he'd done so sooner.

Talia al Ghul was an absolutely beauty, that could never be denied. However, dressed as she was, she looked absolutely divine. All she wore was a see-through black halter babydoll that extended barely past her crotch, which was covered by a matching black thong that was tied on the sides. Her ample bust was completely visible through the thin fabric, and her nipples stood hard and only added to the eroticism. Naruto immediately felt bad at how he'd been acting a moment ago, because despite her beauty, Talia looked like she was about to cry. Naruto reached out and wiped at her unshed tears, caressing her face.

"I'm sorry, my dear. I've been neglectful to you because of my work. Let me make it up to you." Naruto leaned down and pulled Talia into a tender kiss. A squeak of surprise escaped Talia and she stiffened slightly as Naruto's hands ran over the small of her back, shooting sparks of pleasure down her spine and leaving goosebumps in their wake.

Naruto grinned into the kiss as she squeaked. One of his hands made it's way firther down to her rear and squeezed it softly. Talia stiffened further and pressed up against him, her large breasts and hard tits pressing against his chests, the soft fabric of her lingerie being the only thing between them. Naruto's other hand glided up her back, rubbing the area between her shoulder blades.

Talia finally relaxed and deepened the kiss, their tongues wrestling for dominance in each other's mouth. Her own hands roamed Naruto's body, lifting his shirt up and rubbing his chest and abs. She moaned as his hands ran up her body, cupping her breasts from underneath her babydoll and rolling her nipples in his palms. Talia broke the kiss and looked at Naruto with hooded eyes and a sultry smile.

"You truly know how to pleasure a woman, my lord." She purred, stepping back towards the bed and pulling Naruto with her.

"You've given me plenty of chances to practice." Naruto responded.

Naruto turned Talia around and pulled her flush against him. She could feel his member through his pants, ten inches of her lover throbbing in excitement. Naruto leaned in and licked at Talia's earlobe, before taking it in his teeth and pulling slightly, forcing a hiss of pleasure to escape her lips. His hands lifted the baby doll up and over her head, allowing her marvelous globes to bounce free. He immediately grabbed each in a hand and fondled them, rolling her nipples in between fingers and his palm. Naruto laid kisses on the crook of her neck and shoulder, reducing Talia's legs to jelly as he stimulated her. Eventually, it became too much for Talia.

She whipped around and pushed Naruto back onto the bed. Within an instant she was upon him, unbuttoning his pants and fishing out his large cock, ten inches long and thick enough that she couldn't fully wrap her hand around it. She sucked air in through her teeth in excitement as it popped free, hot and throbbing. No matter how many times she saw it, no matter how many times they made love, no matter how many times they fucked, she felt her cunt grow soaked at the mere thought of what he would do with it in just a moment.

Brushing her hair behind her ear, she leaned down and blew on the engorged head lightly. She laid light kisses from the top of the head to the bottom of the shaft, only to lick back up the shaft and take the head into her mouth, sucking lightly. Naruto let out a rolling groan as she sucked on the head of his dick, and his voice hitched as she began to bob up and down slowly. Within only a few bobs, all ten inches of Naruto's dick was disappearing down Talia's throat. Naruto grunted in pleasure and rested his hand on the back of her head, wrapping her hair in his hands and lightly guiding her ministrations.

"I'd almost say you enjoy this too much, Talia." Naruto grunted out. Talia looked up at him as she bobbed, and Naruto was sure she'd be smiling if her mouth wasn't otherwise occupied. After a few more minutes of pleasuring Naruto, she pulled away with a small 'pop'. Before Naruto could say anything, he found Talia's legs on either side of his head and her soaked panties hovering over his face. A moment later, his dick was engulfed in the hot orifice of Talia's mouth once more.

Needing no instructions, Naruto pulled Talia's panties to the side. Spreading her lower lips, he dove in, his tongue darting and swirling the inside of Talia's dripping pussy. He grinned as he tasted Talia's sweet juices on his tongue. Naruto felt more than he heard Talia moan around his dick, and he shivered as he felt the first beads of pre leak from him, only for Talia to lap it up immediately. Pulling himself from Talia's cunt, he instead focused on her erect clit, kissing, licking, and sucking on it. Within moments, Talia pulled off his dick with a loud 'pop' her back arched and her mouth in an 'o' shape, moaning as she orgasmed. Naruto immediately dove back into her pussy, lapping up any juices he could get. As Naruto enjoyed her juices, Talia regained a bit of her mentality and went back to work on her lover's dick, this time sucking only on the head while she jerked off the rest of him, dancing her tongue over the head in complex 's dick throbbed in Talia's mouth, and she could practically feel his urge to cum. With a mental grin, she took his entire dick once more and hummed at the base, setting him off.

Naruto tensed as his already large dick expanded a bit, before shooting down Talia's throat. Shot after shot of his baby cream was launched into her throat, only to be swallowed immediately. For a full five minutes she swallowed his load until his orgasm finally finished. Turning back around so that she faced him, she grinned sultrily at him.

"How was that, Beloved?" He could only grin back.

"You get better every time my dear." Naruto responded. "But surely you don't think we're done?" Sure enough, she could already feel his dick was already hard again, and pressing against her rear. She grinned at him and sat up, subconsciously puffing out her chest.

"Wouldn't dream of it." Straddling his waist, Talia sat up and lined herself up with Naruto's cock. Slowly, she sank onto him, moaning as Naruto filled her to the brim. For a moment, she simply sat there, enjoying the feeling of him inside her. Soon enough, though, she began to bounce on Naruto's lap. Both Naruto and Talia moaned as their bodies met, flesh slapping against flesh. Sitting and taking Talia by the hips, Naruto began to thrust up as Talia came down. A rhythm began to form between the two of them, and it wasn't long before both were panting in pleasure. Naruto leaned in and whispered into Talia's ear.

"What am I to you, Talia?" Her answers came between soft moans that she let out with each thrust.

"My lover."

Moan.

"My Beloved."

Pant.

"My lord."

Moan.

"My liege."

Moan.

"My master."

Pant.

"My king."

And finally, she said the two words that sent them both over the edge.

"My God."

With a lustful mix between a moan and a roar, Naruto came inside her. Talia moaned to the ceiling as the feeling of her Beloved's warm essence filled her, making her whole. Her eyes rolled back and her tongue lolled out of her mouth as his hot seed filled her to the point of overflowing, and her muscles grew so limp that she had to lay against his chest.

Naruto laid back onto the bed, pulling Talia with him. Moaning at the slight movement, Talia shifted so that she was comfortable on Naruto's chest, draping an arm across him. Smiling, Naruto laid a kiss onto Talia's forehead.

"Happy anniversary, my dear." She smiled as he humored her. They sat there for a moment in complete silence, until Talia spoke up.

"I can't give you a child, can I?" Naruto quirked an eyebrow.

"What?"

"For so long, we've had this relationship, yet not once have I gotten pregnant. I don't think I can give you a child." Naruto sighed.

"It's not that you can't give me a child, it's that it's unlikely." Talia looked at him questioningly. "My genetic make-up is not purely human. The easiest way to put it is that most of me is not compatible with you. Almost like a horse trying to impregnate a dog. Whatever small percent of me still is human must be the part to impregnate you. So far, that just hasn't happened." Talia laid back down next to him, thinking.

"...Did you just compare me to a dog?" She asked.

"...Yeah, not my best metaphor." She chuckled lightly.

"What're the odds that I will get pregnant?"

"...I don't know." They laid in silence for a few more minutes. Naruto began to rub her back, causing her to sigh and snuggle up closer to him.

"...I don't deserve you."

"Yes you do, Talia. If anything, I don't deserve you."

"You're just saying that."

"No, I'm not. And I'll prove it. Talia?"

"Hmm?"

"Will you marry me?"
