Hello all! We've made it to the end! Thank you for everyone who read, favorited, and reviewed. This was a lot of fun, and I may use these three in the future.


"She told us she was leaving her house almost a half-hour ago, and she's late," Chris complained, leaning against a brick wall in the MPD 3rd Precinct.

Vi just shook her head at her companion's impatience. They had only been waiting thirty minutes, which wasn't very long in Vi's books. For Chris however...

"Do you already miss her?" Vi teased.

Chris flushed and sent her a look of disbelief. Vi smirked, crossing her arms.

"You're supposed to be the quiet, serious one in this group," Chris accused.

"In battle, perhaps," Vi replied with a one-shoulder shrug. "But we're not in battle. Besides, you're acting like you miss her."

"I'm annoyed that she is making us wait this long. If I knew she'd take forever, I would have left at a later time," Chris explained. "I do not miss her."

Vi rolled her eyes, not believing a word of it. The sound of running footsteps from close by ended the conversation. Both tensed, wondering if there was something going on that would require their assistance, but a moment later, Gwen ran in, doubling over onto her knees as she breathed heavily. After a few seconds of catching her breath, she stood up, giving them an apologetic smile.

"Hi guys!" she greeted happily.

"Where the hell have you been?" Chris demanded.

"Sorry, it just took me a while to get here," Gwen explained.

"How? You can move faster than a normal person now," Chris replied.

"Well I didn't want other people to know, so I ran like I used to," Gwen responded. "And do you know how hard it is to not run at my new speed? It took a lot of energy not to!"

"And why did you not want other people to know?" Chris questioned with a raised eyebrow. He himself honestly didn't care if other people saw him running at super speed, so it begged the question on why did she?

"Because now that I'm a superhero, I have to keep my secret identity a secret," Gwen responded.

"A secret ide- You idiot! We're in a war with Brainiac. Why would anyone care about a secret identity?" Chris argued.

Gwen pouted and crossed her arms.

"Batman has a secret identity," Gwen argued.

"That is completely different," Chris replied.

"Ahem," Vi coughed, gaining their attention. "Now that we're all here, let's go to the Watchtower, alright?"

"Fine," the two replied, following her to the teleporter.

"Do we do it one at a time?" Gwen asked as they got to the teleporter.

"We'll try it that way," Vi answered.

"You go first Vi, and then I'll go and then Gwen," Chris instructed.

"How come I have to go last?" Gwen whined.

"Because you arrived last," Chris answered.

Gwen whined a little, but ultimately agreed. Vi stepped on the teleporter first, disappearing from their eyes in a flash of bright light. Chris stepped on the teleporter next, disappearing just as Vi had. Gwen took a moment to take in a deep breath before walking onto the teleporter and feeling it do its thing. When she appeared, she found Chris and Vi waiting for her in a large, open area with a man that was part man and part machine. Gwen instantly recognized him as the hero Cyborg.

"Welcome to the Watchtower," Cyborg greeted. "Oracle informed me of your arrival, and asked that I'd come and greet you."

"Hi," the three teens greeted.

"Now normally the Watchtower wouldn't be open to a tour, but since you're all part of the new batch of heroes, we're opening up the Watchtower for you to use as headquarters. You're all not technically part of the Justice League yet, you'll have to prove yourself first, but you are members of the League, just not official ones," Cyborg explained. "Does that make sense?"

The three teens thought over his explanation and nodded.

"Alright then. Now before your tour starts, which will be given to you by Oracle via your communicators, I'm going to guide you over to one of our stations for you three to design your superhero costumes," Cyborg said. "If you'd follow me."

The three new heroes followed Cyborg over to a station located against one of the walls. Each of them took one of the stations (there were six in all) and waited for Cyborg's explanation.

"Since you're going to be fighting against Brainiac and his forces, and probably other villains since I doubt they're going to cooperate with us just because of Brainiac, you're going to need a superhero costume," Cyborg explained. "This here is our brand new costume-designing station console. I've uploaded it with some clothing items necessary. Once you've picked them and the color of them, the nanites will form the costume and it'll be accessible for you to wear. Once you've finished, go over to that tube," Cyborg pointed to a human-shaped tube that was propped against the wall, "step inside, click on your costume, and you'll switch into it. Sounds easy enough, right?"

The three teens nodded.

"Alright then, get designing," Cyborg replied with a wave of his hand.

Gwen was the most eager of the three to design, and she practically flew through all the selections, already having a costume in mind. The other two were taking their time, going over what they thought would look good on them. Cyborg was a little surprised when Gwen finished first, rushing over to the tube and stepping inside. The tube glowed brightly for a second before it disappeared, and the tube slid open.

Gwen stepped out in her new superhero outfit, looking it over with a giddy squeal. Chris and Vi looked at the youngest member, and immediately recognized the outfit.

"You dressed up like your doll?" Chris questioned.

"No!" Gwen snapped. "My costume's inspired by Vav!"

"How is that different?" Chris complained.

"Because it's based on the superhero, not the doll!" Gwen argued.

"Alright you two, settle down," Vi broke in. "Chris, we still have a costume to finish."

"Fine," Chris sighed, going back to his console.

Gwen stood beside Cyborg, watching the two teens continue making their costume. Vi was done next, and she stepped into the tube, coming out with the costume on.

"You look so pretty in blue!" Gwen exclaimed when Vi stepped out.

Vi smiled at the youngest member.

"Thank you," Vi said. "And don't mind Chris. I think he's jealous that you finished quicker than him."

Gwen grinned at Vi's words, sticking her tongue out at Chris' back. Chris gave off a disgruntled sound, finishing up his costume. He stepped into the tube, and a second later, stepped out with his new outfit.

"You look like a superhero," Gwen exclaimed. "I didn't think that was possible."

Vi chuckled a little while Chris sent her a glare.

"Cute," he grumbled

"Why yes, I am," Gwen replied back with a smirk.

"Now that you three are all done with that, Oracle will guide you on your tour," Cyborg said. "She should already be in your contact list. You should be able to go off of one."

Vi pulled out her communicator and contacted Oracle, who's face appeared as a hologram.

"Ah, there you are," she greeted with a kind tone. "I was wondering when I'd get a call from you. Ready to start your tour?"

"I'm super excited," Gwen giddily replied.

Oracle chuckled lightly.

"Well then, let's get started."


Oracle's tour had been informative, and took them through everything in the Watchtower. She had taken them through the Meta Wing before going through the other three wings: Tech, Magic, and Main, along with the War Room. She explained everything that was important, like the mail system, the bank system, the world system, and more. Along the way, they came across various Justice League heroes and new recruits. Gwen made it a point to greet all of them, although a few did not return the sentiment. She would pout at them, but move on.

At the end of the tour, the group found themselves in the Main Wing of the Watchtower. They stood on the bridge, looking down at the Monitor Womb with the Hall of Justice above them.

"Now that our tour has ended and you've seen everything that you need to see, it's time for you three to pick your mentor," Oracle explained.

"Our mentor?"

"Yes. You are all new to the world of superheroes, and we've decided it would be for the best if new recruits had a mentor to provide them with tasks and advice," Oracle answered. "You may choose from one of the three: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. I've sent each of you an email with the names of the three. Simply click on one of them and I will keep the data on hand. Good luck."

She ended the conversation, and a moment later the three heard dings from their communicators, indicating the email had been sent.

"For a war that started only yesterday, they seem to have everything under control," Vi commented.

"They're the Justice League," Gwen commented. "They always get things under control."

"So I guess we get to choose from one of the three trilogy members," Chris commented. "The question is who?"

"I'm going to go with Superman," Gwen stated.

"You chose so soon? You didn't even think about it," Chris remarked.

"No, I did," Gwen replied. "I like all three, but Superman seems like a mentor I could work under."

"I think I'll work under Batman," Vi said, reading the email Oracle sent them. "I've always enjoyed things technological, and since Batman is an expert with technology, I think it would be for the best to work under him."

Chris looked over the three listings, mulling over each option before deciding.

"I'm going to go with Wonder Woman. Although I'm not into magic, she's a fighter, and I'm sure she can assist me with my sword skills," Chris explained.

"So we've all chosen?" Vi asked, earning nods from the other two. "Then let's send the information to Oracle."

The other two agreed, clicking their mentor choice and sending it off to Oracle.

"Soooo...is that it?" Gwen asked her two companions.

"I guess so, until someone sends us off on a mission," Vi commented.

"Hmmmm..." Gwen muttered. "Would we go on the same mission together?"

Vi and Chris looked to their youngest member with a shocked look. For the first time since they've been with her, they've never seen her look so serious as she gazed at the holographic world below them.

"To be honest, you guys are the only people I've felt closest to, which is strange since we only met this morning, but it's true," Gwen replied, continuing to be serious. Her eyelids lowered a fraction as she continued to speak. "To tell the truth, I'm a little afraid to do this alone. I know I was excited on the harvester ship, but that's because I was with you guys. But doing this alone...it really scares me."

Vi and Chris shared a look with each other, one of concern this time instead of surprise. Chris stepped over to the young girl and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"You're not in this alone," Chris said. "We started this as a group, and we'll finish this as a group."

"We're in this together," Vi continued, stepping over to the girl and wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "No matter what, we'll stick together. Sure, we may have to be paired with other people, but we'll always try to have one of us in that group, okay?"

Gwen smiled at them and nodded, feeling much better, and even going back to her cheery self.

"Yeah," she agreed. "That sounds like the best idea ever."

"Hey you guys," Cyborg's voice broke through, catching their attention. "How was the tour?"

"Informational," Vi answered.

"That's usually the response. Oracle is always detailed oriented when it comes to the Watchtower," Cyborg replied. "Now, there's one last thing before you three are left to your own devices."

"And that is?" Chris asked.

"Your identities," Cyborg said. "What do you want to be addressed as?"

"You won't be using our real names?" Chris asked.

"Not all the time. It's better to go by a hero name. But you can always use your real name if you want," Cyborg explained. "Just tell me your name and I'll link it up with our supercomputer."

"You can call me Vav Girl!" Gwen exclaimed.

"Of course," Chris sighed. "How about you Vi?"

"Hmmm... I'll go with Techvi," Vi replied.

"Alright, and how about you?" Cyborg asked Chris.

Chris sighed as he thought it over, coming up with, "Hothead I guess."

Gwen stifled a laugh, but it failed and she giggled out, "It suits you."

"Whatever," Chris shrugged. "It's the best I could come up with."

Cyborg chuckled.

"I'll have your profiles updated before you leave. For now, the League is handling a majority of Brainiac's army, but when you're needed, we'll let you know. For now, you can look around the Watchtower, or head down to the War Room and train against some of our holographic training dummies," Cyborg suggested.

"That sounds like a good idea," Chris mused. "Getting some training time in can better prepare us for our fights."

"We don't need training, we're naturals at this," Gwen responded confidently.

"Are you delusional!?" Chris nearly shouted. "We need all the training we can get."

Cyborg watched as Chris and Gwen fell into bickering, smiling to himself as he watched them go at it. They were certainly a lively group of three, and Cyborg had an idea that with their help, and all of the new heroes, they could turn the tide in the heroes favor.

It gave him hope for the turn out of the war.
