Okay! So, I edited all the chapters and changed a few bits, and just so people know, this universe is a working meld of Teen Titans and Young Justice, with a few alterations, like, the Speedy got into drugs is different. Kaldur grew out of Aqualad and became Tempest and Garth became Aqualad. Oh. And Lian's alive because I like her, and is Clone!Roy's daughter. This story takes place a year after Trouble in Tokyo.~Flamyangelwings
This is talking in superspeed
The next day, four teenagers in various parts of the USA were each awaiting a particular guest. Speedy was in the archery range behind Titans East's tower taking his irritation out on some Green Arrow shaped targets. Aqualad was sitting at the shoreline, staring vacantly at the sea. Wonder Girl was sitting on top of her Tower thinking, And Kid Flash was sitting on the sofa in the Wire City Titan's Tower. Robin had informed them that the Justice League had no issues with their continued working with the Titans, but their mentors wanted to talk with them.
KID FLASH
It felt like he'd been sitting here for HOURS, sure, he knew it had only been about ten minutes, but he was really nervous. He was seriously considering leaving a note and running off when he heard the familiar sound of somebody running at superspeed. Less than a second later his uncle Barry was sitting beside him on the couch in full costume. Kid looked down at his hands; The Flash just stared at him, not saying anything.
"So...um...Hi...um...I know you must be pretty upset...I know I should have said goodbye or at least left a note...but you know me, I get so caught up in the moment and don't stop to think...Robin just needed me for like a week and he's like my brother so I couldn't say no and I was gonna call but then I met Jinx, and she was so cute , and then Robin was forming teams and I forgot to call and you and aunt Iris were probably really worried and it was stupid and childish and I'm so sorry!" by the end, Kid Flash was rambling at a speed at which only his Uncle could follow him and he was starting to hyperventilate Flash just smiled and pulled him into a hug
"You took the words right out of my mouth Kid, the only thing you left out was the fact that Iris is gonna give you the lecture of a lifetime next time you see her, it was pretty damned stupid of you to just disappear like that, anything could have happened to you, I kept thinking we were gonna find your body in a ditch somewhere or something!" Flash pulled off his cowl revealing the stern blue eyes of Barry Allen; Kid Flash looked over at him and sighed, pulling off his own mask to reveal Wally West
"I'm sorry Uncle Barry, I know you must be furious, I'm so stupid sometimes but-"he was cut off as Barry cuffed him lightly on the back of his head
"You are not stupid Wally; you just don't think things through a lot of the time. Like the time you, Robin and Kaldur'ahm went to Cadmus labs on your own, but no, I'm mad at you, not that much, but just as a warning, the rest of Young Justice is, they were pretty upset you didn't say goodbye and Batman's decided that it would be an asset to introduce the two teams" Wally's eyes widened and Barry chuckled at his nephews face before smirking
"Anyway, off of that topic, tell me all about this 'Jinx' girl, what's she like?" Wally blushed and sunk into the couch
"Uncle BARRY!"
SPEEDY
Speedy was furious, who did he think he was? He couldn't seriously think he was just going to waltz back into his life like that! Speedy let off another barrage of arrows at the stupid target, he'd gotten a few raised eyebrows at the Green Arrow mannequin, but he didn't really care, the green-clad doll finally tore under the stress of all the arrows, sending sand pouring across the floor. He tossed the dummy into a pile of them he had already destroyed that day and had just set a fourth one up when a voice came from behind him
"Ouch, glad that wasn't really me" Speedy didn't turn around and just kept firing at the target in a rapid volley of arrows
*Twang, Thump* Arrow in the left forearm
*Twang, Thump* the forehead
*Twang, Thump* Right calf
*Twang, Thump* heart
*Twang, Thump* stomach
*Twang, Thump* between the legs
"Roy listen, I just want to talk" Speedy didn't even pause in his assault
"We have nothing to talk about Arrow, now leave before I stop using this dummy" He couldn't see it, but Green Arrow winced at the cold tone in his voice
"Roy, please, I messed up, I know that, and...I'm sorry." To say Speedy was shocked would be an understatement; he was so surprised, that the arrow he had been firing at that moment went flying through the window of the Tower, peedy turned around, eyes wide, and stared at the emerald archer
"Did...did you just...just say..." Green Arrow took off his mask to reveal sad blue eyes
"I'm sorry. I was stupid and hard-headed and a complete and utter arse and I'm sorry" Speedy dropped his bow in shock, one thing he learnt living with Oliver was that he NEVER apologized, he made excuses, so for him to be doing so now was almost as extraordinary as if he revealed his secret identity to the world, Speedy took off his own mask and looked at the man in front of him
"Ollie...I..." Oliver took a few steps and put his hand on Roy's shoulder
"Yeah...well...do you want to hit me?" Roy blinked, confused and Oliver chuckled
"Bruce let Dick beat the stuffing out of him as an apology, I'm making the same offer" Roy tilted his head and thought it over, before punching Oliver in the jaw so hard that he fell backwards. Roy offered him a hand up and smirking
"I've wanted to do that for years, ever since the fight. You didn't even listen to my side of the story." Oliver blinked before sitting down on a rock and sighing
"Well, I'm listening now...why'd you do it Roy?" Roy glared at him before sitting beside him, staring blankly at the training dummy
"I was out doing my rounds, when I caught wind of a drugs bust, I figured 'hey, why not help out?' so I dropped into the site and took out about eight of the guys, before these three steroid-packed thugs got behind me, two of them pinned me down, and the third figured 'Hey, let's get the kid addicted' and shot the junk into one of my veins, and it worked. I wanted to die, I hated myself for being so weak, I tried stopping, I really did, but I couldn't. I would have gone to you for help, but I thought I could handle it on my own, I was going to go to Red Arrow for help, but then you showed up...and well you know how that turned out." Oliver closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he hated himself, he should have gotten the whole story, and not just made assumptions. He reached out and put his hand on Roy's shoulder
"Kid...Roy...I'm SO sorry...I..." Roy shrugged and looked at his feet
"Forget about it Ollie, I'm not perfect, neither are you...hell, everyone thinks Superman's perfect and look at how he used to treat Superboy" Oliver chuckled and looked Roy over again
"So…back to being Speedy, huh?" Roy laughed and rubbed his prosthetic forearm
"yeah…I thought about changing to something else like Arsenal or The Red Ranger, but I'm...kind of attached to Speedy to tell you the truth." Oliver smiled and looked at Roy fondly
"So am I kid, so am I...Do anything else I should know about?" Roy paused and his eyes widened and he looked towards the Tower
"Well, actually..." Roy was cut off by the door into the tower opening and a little girl with red hair in what looked like a miniature of Speedy's old costume, hat included, came running out shouting
"Uncle Speedy!" Oliver's eyes widened and his head snapped from Roy to the girl and back, Roy bent down to pick her up and turned to Oliver smiling
"Ollie, I'd like you to meet Lian Harper, my daughter…well, my clone's daughter. I'm babysitting."
WONDERGIRL
Donna was beyond nervous; Diana was going to be furious with her, she knew it, she should have never left like that. She heard a noise behind her signifying that somebody who could fly had just landed and turned around to face her sister.
"Hello Wonder Woman" she looked up at her older sister, who just stared at her with an impassive face
"I know, I should have never left, and Mother must have been extremely worried about me. I should have at least written and I'm tremendously sorry. It was a juvenile and imprudent thing of me to do, just leaving and joining a team like this, I am immensely sorry. But all the same, I would not trade it for anything; I would sacrifice my life for these people as they would for me." Wonder Woman didn't move from her position, standing in front of her little sister with her arms crossed for about a minute before she smiled
"Why did I even come out here to scold you if you can take my entire lecture and shorten it into a half-minute speech?" She opened her arms and enveloped Wonder Girl in a hug
"I have missed you greatly, little sister, now come, you must to speak with Mother." Wonder Girl nodded and both Amazonians flew off.
AQUALAD
Aqualad wasn't that nervous, his king had allowed him to roam free among the ocean helping others for almost a year before he met the Titans, if Kaldur was allowed a team, why couldn't he join one? He had kept up with his duties in both worlds after all. Just then an enormous wave rose out of the ocean to reveal King Orin, Aquaman. He respectfully got on one knee
"My king" Aquaman gave a deep chuckle and put a hand on Garth's shoulder
"Rise Garth" Garth stood and looked at his king, who smiled back at him
"I must admit, I was surprised to be informed that you were among the youths that had joined this team, I had noticed nothing different about your schedule, and you never failed at your duties" Aquaman gave a smile and placed a hand on Aqualad's shoulder
"Had you mentioned this team I would have undoubtedly given my blessing, it is...a fine team" Garth gave a small bow
"Thank you, my king" Aquaman laughed, and clapped him on the back
"Now come swim with me, Mera misses you, as does Tula, and Kaldur'ahm will surely wish to ask about these Titans, as Batman has decided that they should be introduced" Garth nodded and joined his kingnas they headed towards Atlantis
Tada! Sorry I'm such a slow updater
