I do not own Young Justice or any of the characters. I only own this story and the characters that are in none of the DC comics.

Nightwing, Tigress, Miss Martian, Superboy, and Aqualad and stood before Batman in the meeting room of the Watchtower. The future heroes had been allowed in the meeting room, gaining entrance by convincing the Dark Knight that they had information that would help them on their mission.
Typing in a few commands, a holographic screen appeared before the young heroes. There was no image on the screen, only a single red line cutting horizontally through the holographic screen. Suddenly, a voice came in on the screen, a voice every hero, past and future, recognised.
"Watchtower, come in. This is Kid Flash. Repeat, this is Kid Flash. Where is everybody?" said Kid Flash.
Batman shut off the holographic screen.
"This came in a few minutes ago. Voice recognition confirms that it is Kid Flash. I'm sending you all on a retrieval mission to get him." began Batman.
Batman's gaze turned towards the future heroes.
"I'm allowing five of you to go on this mission. I'll allow you to choose who goes, but the rest must remain here at the Watchtower." concluded Batman.
Archeress looked at her team. The second-in-command of the future Justice League knew exactly who to send. She chose the five heroes that would accompany the past heroes on this mission.
"Quick Arrow, Lightspeed you'll be going on this mission. Willpower, I'm counting on your strength to be of help. Nightflyer, I want you to accompany them. Aquagal, you will also be going." ordered Archeress.
The future heroes all turned to their respective friends and family members. As they did before every mission, the ones assigned to the mission said goodbye to those they were leaving behind.
The Tornado Twins glared at Quick Arrow and Lightspeed. The archer and speedster twins smiled at the Twins, trying to look as calm and innocent as possible.
"Don't give us that look." said Don.
"We know what you two are thinking. And don't even think of doing it." warned Dawn.
"Follow the mission leader and don't go off on your own." reminded Don.
"Don't even think of going against orders." stated Dawn.
"And stay together." said the Tornado Twins together.
Quick Arrow and Lightspeed were unfazed by the Tornado Twins' attempt at a shake down. The two had endured far worse from Archeress and Bats, and even worse, their mother, so they were immune to the Twins' feeble attempts at a scolding.
"Give us a break. We've been going on missions since we were seven. Quick and I can handle this. You don't have to worry." assured Lightspeed.
"Lightspeed and I were trained by our parents, the third Flash and Artemis the Archer. We are both League members and heroes. We can handle a simple retrieval mission. Don't worry. This will be as easier than surviving Willpower's cooking." reassured Quick Arrow.
The four cousins laughed and embraced. Even when they were stuck nearly two decades in the past in another universe, they still managed to joke and laugh like they did back home.
Robyn tightly hugged Nightflyer. The small female bird felt the older female Bat protectively wrap her own arms around the younger of the two.
"Stay safe Nightflyer. Bats would kill us if anything happened to you. You know how overprotective he is of his beloved protégé." spoke Robyn.
"I haven't been Bats' protégé since I joined the League. You on the other hand Robyn are still my protégé. And, I will not stand for you having so little faith in me." teased Nightflyer.
Nightflyer playfully gave Robyn a noogie. The small bird ran from her mentor, hiding behind the magic user. Zan was less than impressed when Robyn decided to hide from Nightflyer behind him.
"I don't mind if you two have the typical mentor and protégé jokes, but don't get me involved." grumbled Zan.
The female Bat and the small bird looked at each other. Both had identical mischievous grins on their faces. Bat and bird turned to the magic user, and lunged. Zan found himself on his back, Nightflyer and Robyn on his chest. The magic using boy tried to escape his two female cousins, but all his attempts were in vain.
Nightflyer and Robyn tortured the great Zan the Mystic in the best way they knew how. Moving their fingers alongside Zan's ribs, the two female Bat Clan members madly tickled the young boy. Despite his best efforts, Zan let out a loud laugh that echoed throughout the meeting room. The more Zan laughed, the more Nightflyer and Robyn tickled him, and the more he was tickled, the more Zan swore vengeance upon his cousins.
Aquagal looked away from Tsunami. The young Atlantian girl was in no mood to talk to her friend. Tsunami sensed the frustration radiating off of Aquagal. He tried to put a hand on Aquagal's shoulder, but hesitated and put his hand back down.
"Come back alive, Aqua. I don't wish to lose anymore of my friends." softly spoke Tsunami.
"I'll try my best to stay alive, Tsu." flatly replied Aquagal.
Marsboy hugged Willpower with a strength able to crush bone. Being a fourth Kryptonian and half-Martian, Willpower did not feel the excess strength her brother put in his embrace. The half-Martian girl made a telepathic link with her brother, who gladly allowed the conversation to occur.
"Don't be so worried, Mars. I'll be fine. I've survived worse. What can go wrong?" mentally said Willpower
"That's what you Uncle Garfield said before he died. I've already lost Mom, Dad and Uncle Gar. I don't want to lose you too, Lara." said Marsboy.
"Lay off the future information, Marsboy. We are amongst actually trained telepathy users. I already felt Miss Martian listening in on our conversation when we were eating. The last thing we need is Archeress lecturing us because we let out information by accident." reminded Willpower.
With all their goodbyes said, the past Team and four of the future heroes went to fulfil their mission.

North Pole

Wally stumbled through the blinding snowstorm. The twenty-one-year-old didn't know what was going on. He didn't even know how he was still alive. Wally had felt his entire body be ripped apart, molecule by molecule. All the calculations told him he should have died, but here he was, still alive and breathing, for the moment.
The cold winds continued to blow at Wally. It penetrated through his uniform, even though he had activated the polar stealth, chilling him to the bone. Frost had begun to stick Wally's red hair. It became harder and harder for Wally to keep his green eyes open. If he didn't find some shelter soon, Wally wouldn't have to wonder why he was still alive.

North Pole

As soon as the past and future heroes had taken a Zeta Tube from the Watchtower to Earth, Lightspeed had literally run straight towards the North Pole. From the records of the even from their own time, the future heroes knew that Wally wouldn't be able to survive the harsh Arctic weather for long. Quick Arrow, who Archeress had given charge of the future heroes on the mission, had given Lightspeed permission to run on ahead.
Everyone else had climbed into the bio-ship and followed after Lightspeed as quickly as they could. They were still left far behind though. That meant Lightspeed would be the only one there to help Wally when she reached the North Pole.
Upon reaching the North Pole, Lightspeed activated the organ tech she had been given. With the organ tech in place, Lightspeed made mental contact with Willpower and the rest of the heroes.
"Lightspeed to Willpower, do you copy?" sent out Lightspeed.
"We read you, Lightspeed. But I'm having a hard time retaining the link, even with the organ tech. Miss Martian is assisting me, but the connection will go dead soon. Nightflyer is sending you Fl—Kid Flash's location." replied Willpower.
"Coordinates received. This is Lightspeed, over and out." said Lightspeed.
As soon as the mental link went down, Lightspeed once again began to run. The gray clad speedster ran to her limit. Lightspeed knew she was pushing herself. She hadn't run this fast and this far since the War. The female speedster was just glad she had learned to suppress the sharp pain of hunger that always when she ran, otherwise she would have died a long time ago.
Lightspeed stopped when she was getting close to where the coordinates said Wally was. Her green eyes scanned the landscape, looking for the slightest sign of movement. Something in the distance caught Lightspeed's eye. Gathering up the last of her remaining strength, Lightspeed ran in the direction of the distant movement.
What Lightspeed saw shocked her more than when she had been told that the League had been sent to the past. The gray speedster saw the form of a young man dressed in a white version of the Kid Flash uniform (most likely Wally) standing before a spaceship. The spaceship door opened, and out stepped a form Lightspeed knew all too well. Out of the spaceship walked someone who saw not a friend or a foe, only an Enemy.
Sorry about the late update and the shortness of the chapter. I'll try to update sooner. Same drill as always. Leave a comment if you like the story and comment on my other stories as well.
