I, RozBen, do not own Young Justice, or its charaters; all rights to their proper owners. :)
This is now story, since i have gotten good reviews, but it was meant to be a one shot. Gimme your advice, ideas, and i'll try to mix them in. :)
A/N: Well, i couldn't let my lil bird actually kill someone. I'd be horrified. :) This may very well be the last chapter or two. I may make a sequal to this. Maybe. Warning: Con/Rob Slash!
It was almost three days later when Kaludr returned from Atlantis. Megan was banned from the kitchen and everyone shared a good laugh, even Kal. He had to keep reassuring her that everything was fine, that he was okay, but that still didn't stop her from staying by his side and getting him everything and anything she thought would help him. It annoyed him to no end, but somehow he managed to keep a lid on his irritation.
Day 2
Lesson 4: Trading spaces.
"I have gotten clearance from our mentors. They are all coming in about an hour. We will train with our partner's mentor and go on seperate mission later tonight to put their training to the test." Kal paced in front of the team, looking at his ever handy clipboard. "Today's partners are Conner and Wally, Artimis and Megan. Dick and i will be paired. Any questions?"
"Will we be using the same materials? Or will they adjust it to our needs?" asked Robin.
"Since you use bataranges, i will use batarangs. Since i use water, you'll use water. No worries, they had thought ahead and have figured out some way for this to work."
"So, wait. Megan will be using my bow?" asked Artimis, already on edge.
"Yes." he looked up at her.
-X-
"Your aim is still too far off. Again."
"But my shoulders and fingers..." Megan groaned, slumping.
"Hey, this wasn't my idea. I told them it takes a couple of years of practice. Again." Queen's eyes were hard as he stood ridgid, arms crossed.
"I can't do that! I'm human!"
"Just try."
"What part of i'm human do you not get!" Artimis yelled as another crate was throw at her.
"You want me to do what?" cried an alarmed voice from several feet above.
"If you can't, you shouldn't be here." Batman glared down at the teen.
"You do realize that if i die, it is on your hands."
"It won't be my fault if your inadequate for this job." came a cold replie.
"Come on now, gupie. AquaLad can do this with both hands tied behind his back!"
"He also has gills!" coughed Robin as he gasped for breath, having surfaced just a moment ago.
"Oh, did i forget to give you your breathing pill? The one that lets any human breath underwater for a period of time...?" Robin glared at his teacher and growled low in his throat as AquaMan held a small pill bottle, shaking it.
"Robin i demand taht you stop right this instant!"
"Get back here, coward!"
"He can go how fast?" asked Conner, blinking at the screen.
"The speed of sound, kid."
"And i have to go that fast?"
"If you want to dodge a bullet, yes."
"Aw, hell."
"He can lift how much?" Wally cried dramatically.
"Two hundred ton, last time i checked." Canary shrugged, looking over the machine.
"But...but...but...but..."
"Come on, lets get you hooked up."
"But...but...but...but...Dude!" he looked up at Canary, eyes big and pleading.
-X-
"I'm really sorry about your bow. I..." Megan's eyes were moist with tears.
"No problem. I'm sorry about getting your uncle hit with that crate." she waved it off, tinckering at the bow on the isalnd, that lay in peices.
"My arms! They burn!" cried Wally dramatically, slouched on the sofa.
"How do you think my legs feel?" growled Supey, reclining on the armchair. They girls chuckled.
"Oh, yeah? I don't see any bruised or a sprained ankels on you." laughed Kal from his seat at the edge of the couch.
"Sorry about that. Bats is always pushin'."
"No worries my friend. I am Atlantian; i heal faster than humans. I will be up and walking in a few days. Now, how did you get my King to scream 'I am a Barbie Girl! Please don't kill me Kent!' while dancing in a grass skirt?"
"A smart man never reveals his scare tatcis."
"Moving on." Kal said, grabbing his clipboard.
Lesson 5: Game show.
"I will ask you questions about your team mates and you will answer. If you're right, you get points. If you're wrong, everone on the team will decide a dare you must do. Artimis, you're first. What is Megan's favorite color?"
"Uh...pink?"
"Correct."
"Megan, what is Artimis's favorite food?"
"Turkey snadwhich with lettus, tomatoe and mayo."
"Right."
"Hey, wait. Can't Megan use her mind thingie if Artimis says she can?" Wally asked.
"Megan. Did you?" asked Robin.
"...yes."
"Well, Kal never said we couldn't use our powers." Conner leaned forward.
"Its true. I never said.."
"Dude! No fair! They can link minds!"
"Fine. No powers, but we'll allow this point to pass."
"Wally, what is Conner's favorite TV show?"
"Uh...static?"
"No." Kal said, looking down at the answer in his sheet. "Its...that music channel. 583, without picture."
"Aw man."
After some discussion, off to the side so Wally couldn't hear them, the team came back.
"Well?" he asked, not wanting to know because of the glints in Artimis and Dick's eyes.
"We've decided, that on our next mission, you must wear a female version of my uniform. Meaning skirt, heels and the whole deal." Robin said slowly, watching his reaction. Wally let out a maly wail. (Screamed like a girl.)
"Conner, what is Robin's favorite color?"
"Uh..." Conner thought long and hard. He had to show he knew. He wanted Dick to know he paid attention to him, like a friend should. But he never told him what his favoirte color is! He thought back to his room. It was red. His uniform had a good amount of red. He always wrote with red pen. "Red?"
"Yes!"
Dick was pleasently surprised. He didn't know that Conner paid attention to him. He was kinda thinking the big guy didn't really cared he exsisted. But, this also sorta surprised him. As far as he can remember, he never told Conner his favoirte color. He smiled up at the clone, fighting against the strange warmth that had spread in his chest.
A beeping noise was heard, warning the team of an upcoming League announcemnt. They all began hurrying twoards the communications room.
"Batman to Mount Justice."
"Read you loud and clear!" Robin calledas they rounded the corner. Kaldur was all the way in the back, fighting with his crutches.
"Everyone is there; good. I am assigning you a mission."
"What kind of mission, Batman? It better not be another lame one where we have to..." Wally was already complaining, remembering their one mission that ended up being a dud...
"The Joker escaped from Arckam." he cut in, his eyes narrowing on the screen.
"Again?" groaned Dick, slipping on his sunglasses.
"Ivy has also escaped her holding cell. They broke out within mere minutes of each other." The Batman's screen went smaller as two more images joined his on the screen. The joker was there one minute and gone the next. Ivy fought her way out of restraints and disappeared.
"Too close together. Bats, i don't think this is coincidence."
"Its not. They've been put on Zucco's payrole."
Thanks for all of your reviews! ! I'll try to keep this story going as well as it started out and ideas are always welcome!
