A/N: The story should be read all the way through or the story up to this point will not make much sense. I do not own anything from Harry Potter or Young Justice. As Giovanni Zatara wasn't taken over by Dr. Fate, he will not be introduced to the world as a new Justice League member at this point in time. Just a reminder Queen Bee can only use her powers to control humans.

METROPOLIS
DECEMBER 29, 7:16 EST

Luthor had finally started to relax as he still had yet to get pranked again after he had been able to get out of Bell Reve. Klarion being the immature boy he was had found the whole pranks on the villains situation hilarious. Luthor like the other leaders of The Light had really wanted to show Klarion who's the boss but was weary of Klarion (this is a being able to kill with merely a thought). Regardless Luthor had thought that after such a long period between the last prank and now that the mysterious prankster might have been satisfied with their revenge.

As Luthor was so deep in thought about the situation he didn't notice one of the windows to his privet office open on their own and let in a fake billion dollar bill. The window then closed on its own loud enough that Luthor was unable to ignore the sound. The villain then noticed the billion dollar bill that hadn't been there seconds ago and went to grab it (there may have been a very powerful compulsion charm on it). When the villain grabbed the fake billion dollar bill it disappeared from his grip with an extremely bright flash of light.

When the flash of light died down enough for him to see again Luthor realized that he was now buried in several dozen pounds of fish. The fish had a strong smell that indicated that they were starting to rot, and it took several hours for Luthor to get rid of the fish smell. Later when Luthor put on a fresh set of clothes he watched as right before his eyes in front of the mirror his clothes changed into a cheap Batman costume.

With a flash of light Luthor disappeared from his home and reappeared right in front of Ra's Al Ghul. The two fellow leaders of The Light looked at each other for several seconds before Ra's Al Ghul beat a surprised Lex Luthor into unconsciousness. It was only after Ra's Al Ghul realized that the person had a really cheap Batman costume on and that the parts of the face he could see didn't look like Bruce Wayne's (it was revealed that Ra's Al Ghul knows the identity of the man behind the Batman mask).

Ra's Al Ghul leaned forward and went to pull of the mask only to find an unconscious Lex Luthor underneath the cheap Batman mask. When Ra's Al Ghul saw that it was his ally Luthor under the mask he got worried about the repercussions from this. The criminal assassin then thought about it and decided he could claim it was an accident and proceeded to get some medical attention for his fellow leader of The Light. While Ra's Al Ghul was in contemplation about Luthor Hook walked up to the doorway that led into the room his master was in. When the assassin saw the situation he walked right back out without a sound and decided to talk to his master later.

Ra's Al Ghul was about to attempt to arouse Lex Luthor out of his unconscious state when a cream pie appeared from nowhere and hit him on the face. The villain grumbled about this and went to the restroom to clean up the mess. When he felt the whole mess was off of his face he looked up to see how he looked in the mirror. Ra's Al Ghul was horrified to find that his face had every kind of makeup in the world on it. It looked like he had put makeup on in the dark while a massive earthquake occurred. What made the problem worse was that his daughter Talia found him and accused him of taking her makeup for some crazy experiment. After Ra's Al Ghul successfully convinced his daughter that he didn't take her makeup he went to try and get the makeup off.

By the time Ra's Al Ghul got the makeup off his face had been rubbed raw and was a bright red and Luthor had come out of his unconscious state. To Ra's Al Ghul's further dismay he found that all of his facial hair had fallen out while the hair on his scalp had turned tie-dye in color. The two had called Klarion who fixed the changes after he spent half an hour in laughter at the two.

WASHINGTON, D.C.
DECEMBER 30, 09:16 EST

A press conference had been called right in front of the Hall of Justice by the Justice League. At this press conference all of the Justice League members were on one side of the podium while the ones that were to be inducted were on the other side. From behind the lectern Superman introduced Atom, Plastic Man, Icon, and Red Arrow as the four newest members of the Justice League.

Meanwhile from inside of the Hall of Justice the team plus their newest member Rocket (civilian name is Raquel Ervin) as Cat Grant reported live on GBS news. At the moment the entire team was clothed in their civilian attire.

Wally said "I'm glad they didn't kick Billy out," and then after a pause to take a bite from his apple added "and I love that there's a ten year old on the league."

Rocket didn't know that and Robin then painfully elbowed Wally and said sarcastically "way to keep a secret genius," and Wally responded with "hey she's on the team now right?"

Cat grant was then heard to continue the report where she talked about how Superman was now handing out official Justice League membership cards to the newest members. Superman handed the membership card to The Atom first, and the guy nearly fell over as he was at a diminished size at that point. The distribution of the membership card to Plastic man went without hassle, but when Icon was handed his Rocket complained about how it was her that convinced the man to become a superhero. She then added that she should be out there celebrating out there with her mentor not inside watching the scene from afar.

Aqualad then said with a smile "welcome to our world."

When it came to Red Arrow he was personally given his Justice League membership card by his former mentor Green Arrow. The scene of Red Arrow as he received his official membership card caused several members of The Team to express their joy at Roy being the first protégé to make it to the big leagues. Rocket was surprised by the distaste these members of the team had about being a sidekick.

She said "wait since when is being a sidekick a bad thing; you sidekicks were my inspiration."

Robin then explained with "well see six months ago it…"

Robin didn't finish his statement as at that point the portable computer Harry and Hermione gave to him went off to notify him about something. At the same time on the GBS news the news conference came to a close and most of the members of the Justice League proceeded to disperse. Superman, Green Arrow and Aquaman stayed behind to continue to interact with the members of the press.

Meanwhile Batman, Black Canary, and Red Tornado proceeded to prepare three of the new members of the Justice League (Red Arrow, Icon, Atom, and Plastic Man) for transport to the Watchtower. Before the new members of the Justice League were to be shown the Watchtower they went to talk to the team who had stayed inside of the Hall of Justice. They opened up the one of the doors to the room where The Team was only to find the room empty much to Icon's surprise.

SMOKEY MOUNTAINS
DECEMBER 30, 10:48 EST

On the bioship Dick Grayson had just debriefed the team on the recent airport security footage there had been of Cheshire with the team all in their superhero attire. Artemis wanted to be sure that it was Cheshire and reluctantly confirmed what facial recognition software had already done. Aqualad said that while it was Cheshire what was more important was what she had in her hands. It was the case that Artemis saw in New Orleans that Cheshire was able to get away with.

Rocket then said "Okay, I'm guessing from the mug shot that this Cheshire is the bad guy, but what's so important about the case."

Dick brought up the Injustice League and how they were put in prison but that their allies were still out there to cause trouble.

At that point, Harry decided to interject and said, "You know the fact that the villains are still operating when the Injustice League is still locked up tight in prison is quite suspicious."

"The fact that the villains are still operating with efficiency with their supposed leaders unavailable makes me think that the real leaders they are following are still out there," said Hermione

Aqualad in response said, "regardless of who it is that is behind this it is still important that we get that briefcase as it seems to be important. Despite that I do think your thoughts to have much merit to them, so we will explore the possibility after we recover the briefcase from Cheshire."

Miss Martian at who was piloting the bioship at that moment said "approaching Cheshire's jet."

Megan's expression then changed to surprised when they saw the wreck that seemed to be what was left of the plane.

The rest of the team was also surprised and Megan said "looks like there were no survivors."

Artemis for a moment had a sad look on her face due to her belief that her sister was dead (she might not have gotten along with her sister but she still didn't hate the woman).

The team had disembarked from the bioship and was inspecting the wreckage from the plane crash. Wally was curious as of to why neither homeland security nor NTSB weren't all over this.

Robin in response said "Cheshire's ID was a league alert; authorities didn't pick it up and her jet didn't follow a flight plan. It flew under the radar literally, but the Watchtower auto-tracked the jet and recorded the crash."

Rocket wanted to know why the league wasn't there if the Watchtower tracked the flight, but Zatanna said it was because Robin had some impressive hacking skills. Aqualad added that the team felt like this was their business and not the Justice League's.

Superboy then said "Where are the bodies?"

Out of seemingly thin air Cheshire became visible as she stood on a rock outcrop as she answered Superboy's question with "Here's one. And it is stunning."

The recognizable voice of Riddler was heard as the villain said "I am flora, not fauna. I am foliage, not trees. What am I? Come on, you can get this. I am shrubbery, not grass. What am I? I..."

As Riddler said this several pylons rose up from the snow and then combined to form what the villains obviously thought was an impenetrable force field.

Robin completed the sentence when he said "Ambush."

In between where the team was and where Riddler was were what had to have been at least five dozen mercenaries with technology from Apokolips. With Riddler were Shimmer and Mammoth to help with the ambush.

Neville then tauntingly said "Arkham Asylum (A/N: previously Riddler was transferred from Belle Reve to Arkham Asylum) should really be fixed I mean it's a revolving door for the mentally insane patients at this point."

Riddler seemed to have been peeved at what Neville had said, but continued with "didn't you think we would be tipped you were on Cheshire's trail? We're tired of your interference kiddies, this is the end game. Ordered from above, and executed by their master strategist, mwa."

Harry and the other's thought that it was a miracle that this delusional guy was able to fit his attire on today with how bloated his head was.

Aqualad then thought 'Miss Martian is everyone linked?'

When he got a positive answer from Megan, he told the team to attack.

While the rest of the team went on to attack the villains, the first thing Zatanna said was "Ekahs siht ebolgwons!"

This spell caused a local snowstorm to pick up within the area of the force field that provided excellent cover for the team to attack (especially with several of them able to see through most solid objects). The team started to take down the mercenaries quickly and Aqualad told Superboy and Supermagus to take down the pylons that kept the force field up. While Supermagus simply flew and burned the pylons with his heat vision, Superboy leapt to them one at a time and broke then with superstrength.

While the two Kryptonians worked to take down the force field the two sisters (Cheshire and Artemis) began to fight each other. Cheshire commented on how it was like old times when their father (Sportsmaster) would pit the two girls against each other.

In the meantime, Wally took down large swaths of the mercenaries with his superspeed while he privately thanked Harry and Hermione for the speed upgrade. Graviton and Kid Lantern worked well in tandem with each other, with Graviton using her powers to immobilize teach mercenary before Neville would swoop in and with an oversized boxing glove construct knock them out. While the two worked together, Neville kept up his force field around the two of them as a tight layer, so any attacks that came their way were harmlessly adsorbed.

The full team besides the two Kryptonians was in the middle of taking down the mercenaries, when one of them managed to get a hit on Rocket with some tech that clearly caused the girl fall unconscious. Aqualad was about to help his fellow teammate when heat vision came from where Harry was and burned the tech into a puddle of hot metal. Before the dangerously hot metal could hit Rocket a beam of magic (again from Harry) hit the puddle and turned it into a wet sponge (Aqualad quietly thought to himself that this was another attempt of Harry's to be humorous) that managed to bring Rocket out of her unconscious state.

Back with Superboy he figured that the rest of the team was occupied and wouldn't notice if he used his heat vision due to the snowstorm. Mammoth then landed right behind Superboy just as he was in the middle of melting a pylon and punched Conner, which sent the teen Kryptonian into an unwilling flight. Superboy looked up to see Mammoth coming at him with his arms above his head like he was about to put Conner into a literal dirt nap. Superboy preempted that and charged forward to grab a hold of Mammoth while he hovered in the air. Unfortunately for Superboy Robin managed observed Superboy's flight and commented on it over the psychic link.

Over the psychic link Harry then said to Superboy 'bro I think we're going to have to explain this soon to the team.'

Superboy saw that part of his hidden ace had been revealed to the team and figured it wouldn't hurt to use his other powers in front of the team. So after Superboy roughly pushed mammoth into the force field and then let the villain drop to the ground he started to use his heat vision on his foe. Superboy then used his superspeed to punch Mammoth at rapid speed. Superboy was so busy with his foe he didn't notice as he brought down a piece of the cliff. Harry who had finished the destruction of the pylons that supported the force field came up from behind Superboy and sent a stunner at Mammoth. Superboy looked up when he saw his villain had suddenly went unconscious to see his brother hovering there with a look that said he was not happy (if the facial expression and the crossed arms were anything to go by).

Harry then sent to Superboy over the psychic link 'I told you that you need to be aware of your surroundings when you use you powers.'

Harry then pointed his hand at the avalanche and said "ehcnalava raeppa evoba eht s'thgil gniteem ecalp!"

LOCATION UNKNOWN
DECEMBER 30, 11:16 EST

In their top secret location leaders of The Light was in the middle of one of their meetings when a large amount of snow appeared right above them and buried them. The heads of the seven leaders of The Light popped out from beneath the snow and one by one started to swear profusely. Klarion tried to vanish the snow and dry them all off with a wave of his pinkie finger. When he tried the snow melted all at once and soaked all seven members of The Light, so Klarion tried again and managed to dry the group off. While most of the group was pissed, Klarion thought that whoever had done this prank was his kind of person (provided that it wasn't Supermagus or the team).

Back with the team the avalanche was about to bury Artemis when Cheshire knocked her out of the way. When Artemis looked back she saw the big chunk of snow missing that had been there minutes ago and Harry who hovered over it. She quickly surmised that Cheshire knocked her aside just as Harry vanished the snow to (at least to her) an unknown place. The biggest surprise was that her enemy and sister had tried to save her.

Cheshire then said as if to answer "Ok, fine, we're sisters. I don't actually want you dead."

Cheshire then managed to vanish off as Artemis wondered if her sister was really so bad.

In the meantime Robin tossed a baterang at Shimmer that put a petrificus totalus onto the villain upon contact. Shimmer then fell to the ground stiff as a board, and in the meantime robin caught the baterang he had used.

Riddler then looked at the boy wonder at surprise just as from behind the crazed villain Zatanna said "Tekcajtiarts!"

This caused bindings to appear and wrap themselves around Riddler, who when he saw what happened began to talk incessantly about how he was not meant to be in a straightjacket. Zatanna had obviously got annoyed at Riddler's nonsensical talk and added a gag with an uttered "Gag mih!"

A recovered Raquel then flew and landed to stand next to Zatanna before she said "is it always like this?"

Zatanna answered with a nonchalant "yeah pretty much," and then after a sigh said "Hguone htiw eht ebolgwons."

This caused the snowstorm Zatanna had summoned to die down, and the team then brought the villains (minus Cheshire who managed to escape) into custody.

MOUNT JUSTICE
DECEMBER 30, 15:45 EST

Batman was at the cave as he talked to the newly expanded team about their recent actions.

Batman said "tell me if this sounds familiar; you league systems, disobeyed protocol, and endangered your lives. And your initiative resulted in the capture of two (A/N: In my opinion Riddler was way too much of a nut-job to not be in Arkham Asylum) escaped felons, proving warden Strange runs Belle Reve as a cover for criminal activity. Well done!"

Harry was about to pretend to faint from the shock at the sight of a smiling Batman (while Robin who had seen this hid his amusement) until Hermione smacked him. The rest of the team looked as if they felt satisfied about Batman's compliment.

In an effort to move the subject onto more serious matters Batman then walked over to the briefcase the team had recovered and said "and then there's this…"

The shot showed what was in the briefcase as Batman continued with "…biotechnology integrated with Nano-circuitry."

Icon added his thoughts as he picked up a sample of the biotechnology with "though I am unfamiliar with this species, the bio-component is clearly not of earth."

Batman then shut the briefcase and said "well take it to the Watchtower for further study."

Batman and Red Tornado then walked over to the Zeta-beam terminal as Icon went to join his new teammates, but Icon was temporarily stopped by his protégé who congratulated him on getting onto the Justice League. Black Canary then reminded Icon that they should get going if they didn't want to miss the privet Justice League initiation ceremony on the Watchtower. The two Justice League members then joined Red Tornado and Batman who had teleported to the Watchtower just moments before.

After Black Canary and Icon joined their fellow members of the Justice League on the Watchtower Robin then decided it was the time to talk about how he believed how the ambush was set up. Aqualad then added that as it seemed that the bad guys still knew their moves that it was evidence that there was a mole still on the team. Artemis showed she was tired that there were some on the team that still believed there was a mole on the team while Rocket showed she was unaware of this Intel. Superboy then said how it kept coming up that the mole seemed to be himself, Artemis, or Megan.

Aqualad then said it was more complicated than that but he was still concerned about the recent changes Superboy had gone through. In particular he was concerned about how the recent attack Superboy committed against Mammoth could've gotten Artemis killed. Superboy was in the middle of walking away when both he and Harry heard another message from Luthor (A/N: the message was the same as it was in canon). Aqualad expressed his concern that both Superboy and Supermagus all the sudden got a look on their face like they were in pain. Superboy then said there was something that he needed to do.

SANTA PRISCA
DECEMBER 30, 17:57 ECT

Superboy and arrived at Santa Prisca through his use of Sphere for transport. There he was met by Lex Luthor, who introduced the young Kryptonian to Queen Bee.

Queen Bee at the introduction then said "my pleasure," and Lex Luthor then continued his introductions when he talked about Sportsmaster, Mercy, and Blockbuster. Luthor commented on their new 'friend' Bane whose island they were currently using for the meeting.

Superboy then said "so the Injustice League was just a distraction, which means Wonder Girl and Supermagus were right. You two are part of the group that have been behind everything from the start."

Both Luthor and Queen Bee frowned when they heard that someone had figured it out, but the frown went so fast that Superboy didn't notice it.

Luthor then gave a laugh and said, "A flattering notion son, but we have many friends."

At the same moment that Luthor said that a helicopter was heard overhead that landed to reveal Artemis with Cheshire were inside of the machine. Artemis and Superboy then looked surprised to see that both of them had seemingly defected to the side of the villains.

When Superboy in particular showed surprise, Artemis as if she knew what Superboy was thinking said, "The superhero gig wasn't working, this is where I belong."

Just as Artemis finished saying this, the bioship arrived and Queen Bee said, "It's a fast growing club."

A hatch opened up at the bottom of the bioship and Megan slowly levitated down to the ground with a hoodie on.

She showed surprise when she saw that Superboy and Artemis were there, and then said to Queen Bee "why are they here? You promised."

Queen Bee with a sneer that would have made Severus Snape proud said, "I've kept your secret and my promise, now you keep yours."

When Miss Martian lowered her head in apparent obedience Queen Bee then said to Megan "good girl."

Superboy then said, "I'd like more of the shields before I pledge my allegiance to you."

Luthor gave Conner one look and then said, "My boy, you're a terrible liar," and just as Superboy looked like he was about to attack Luthor said "red son."

The code word made Superboy freeze in his tracks, and after a few moments Artemis said "so what do you want from us?"

Luthor sent a nod to Sportsmaster who then said to Megan and Artemis "you two follow me."

Megan then said "What about Superboy?"

Queen Bee said, "Superboy will be fine, he's just receiving a few adjustments."

The second half of Queen Bee's answer had a subtle taste of sinister intentions that made Megan and Artemis want to shutter.

Flashback

In the cave Superboy didn't go directly to Luthor when the villain sent his message to Conner. Instead Superboy decided that it was time to reveal his secret that his brother had kept for him.

Superboy said "last month on thanksgiving, I went back to Cadmus, found a few things out. When I was cloned only half the DNA was Superman's, the other half was from Lex Luthor. That's why until last month I didn't have full Kryptonian powers."

Robin then said "you sure? Cause you sure seemed to have them today."

Superboy then said that Luthor had given him some technology that suppressed his human DNA and gave him the ability to use his full Kryptonian powers, but he got rid of them.

Harry felt this was a good time to intervene, and grabbed the group's attention by clearing his throat and then said, "I was the one that got rid of the shields that Luthor gave to Superboy."

The rest of the team besides Hermione and Superboy turned to Harry and clearly conveyed that they were surprised at about this.

Harry decided to explain further and said to Robin "you know that present Hermione and I were working on for Superboy in the Batcave?"

After Dick sent an affirmative nod Harry continued with "well it was supposed to change Superboy's DNA into a fully Kryptonian genome, which it did successfully when I gave it to my brother. That's why he now has the full array of Kryptonian powers instead of what he started out with."

Superboy then said "Due to half of my DNA being from Lex Luthor before that present Luthor could have been technically called my father. At this point Luthor has no idea that I haven't used a single shield, nor that I no longer have any of his DNA in me. What I heard just now and I assume Harry also heard (Harry nodded at this to confirm it) was Luthor sending me another message ordering me to meet him at Santa Prisca if I want more shields."

Superboy paused for a moment before with shame in his voice he said, "I'm sorry I hid this information from the team. I was worried that if you knew that half my DNA came from Luthor you'd think I was a villain."

After a few seconds, Harry said, "Truthfully bro, I think you underestimated your friends, after all the DNA you inherit doesn't determine whether one is good or bad."

After the rest of the team showed that they agreed with that statement, Hermione added, "Besides that you no longer have his DNA. Regardless I think you should hide that you no longer have his DNA or the shields he gave you a secret for now."

End of Flashback

As the motley group went to leave for their destination, Luthor said "Blockbuster, bring the boy along with us."

Just as Blockbuster was about to take Superboy Artemis sent an arrow at the villain in an attempt to halt the villain in his tracks.

Flashback

In the cave, Artemis went next after Superboy as she figured it was time to come clean with her secrets too.

She said "guys I have something to tell you as well," then paused and sighed before she brought up some pictures on the computer for them to see.

"My father is Sportsmaster," said Artemis, "and my mother is the former villain Huntress. My sister got into the family business and is known as Cheshire. Both of my relatives that are currently supervillains want me to also go to Santa Prisca to meet them."

Wally in a moment of realization said, "So that's why you acted so strange whenever a mission involved Cheshire or Sportsmaster!"

Robin added his thoughts when he said "I already knew about your relatives," and when he saw the look Artemis gave him he added "hey former sidekick to the world's greatest detective here! Regardless of that who your relatives are makes no difference to me, and in case you're wondering I didn't tell anyone about your secret as I figured it was for you to tell."

Artemis smiled as the other members of the team nodded in agreement with Robin's last statement, before she turned to Harry and Hermione and said, "So how do the two of you know?"

Harry took this one and said, "Well I've got what was considered one of the brilliant scientists on Krypton for a father and Hermione is simply scary brilliant. As for why it doesn't matter to either of us we already have met my godfather who is about as far from his family in beliefs as one can get."

End of Flashback

The flashback ended and the arrow that Artemis shot at blockbuster hit the villain and formed a high-density foam that temporarily trapped the monstrous looking beast.

Artemis then as if to explain why she did that said to Sportsmaster "sorry dad, wanted to play you like you tried to play me, but I can't let him mess with Superboy's head."

Queen Bee then telepathically ordered Megan to take Artemis down for her. Megan used her telekinesis to lift Artemis into the air just in time to get her out of the way of Sportsmaster's attempted attack.

Flashback

In the cave after Superboy and Artemis revealed their secrets Megan decided that it was time for her to also come clean with the team. She revealed that Queen Bee had been blackmailing her with the knowledge of Megan's true form as a white Martian. She also said that Queen Bee also wanted her to meet in Santa Prisca like the other two. Megan then shifted into her true form, but was surprised to find out that the team didn't look at her with disgust. She was highly gratified to find out that the team didn't reject her over the revelation of this new information.

End of Flashback

Back with the action that occurred on Santa Prisca Megan used her telekinesis to harshly throw Queen Bee into a tree and knock the disgusting woman out. At the same time at the apex of her telekinetically assisted jump, Artemis sent an explosive arrow that forced Cheshire and Sportsmaster to scatter.

Megan then sent a telepathic message to Superboy along the lines of 'Superboy, Queen Bee is down, you can stop faking your inability to operate.'

Superboy then started to walk with deliberation toward Luthor and Mercy while he said, "I may not be much of a liar, but I certainly fooled you."

As Mercy walked in from of Luthor to protect him Luthor said "and I'm so proud, I take it Miss Martian cleaned red son from your mind."

Superboy figured it was best to let Luthor think that for now and added that he was checked for any other mental programing and was found to be clean.

To keep up the charade Superboy said "and confirmed that you didn't have any time to add more programing before I was rescued from Cadmus and Psimon."

Luthor said, "All true, personally I blame Dr. Desmond and Psimon," and just as he finished that statement, Blockbuster (real name Mark Desmond) shattered the foam that imprisoned him.

Blockbuster then charged at Superboy and nearly knocked the Kryptonian off of a cliff. Luthor then told Bane to order his minions to attack the three heroes, but sphere rose from the ground and countered the weapons fire from the minions with its own. Sportsmaster and Cheshire started to walk threateningly towards Artemis, who then called for the rest of the team for reinforcements over the psychic link.

The rest of the team then came in and quickly took down Bane's minions with their combined might. Bane got an angry look on his face that changed to surprise when he saw that Vandal had been telling the truth about Kid Flash's vastly increased speed. Kid Flash was moving so fast that Bane only knew KF was there from the strong gusts of wind, and the momentary afterimages that appeared when KF slowed to his former top speed. It seemed that Bane decided he needed it, as he activated the pumps on his body to inject Venom into his system. The villain then buffed up grotesquely from the steroid as a result.

Meanwhile Luthor decided it was time to go and told his android to follow him and he carried an unconscious Queen Bee in his arms (A/N: did I hear a sarcastic 'how romantic').

Aqualad at that point seemed to have foiled this idea when he got in front of them with a water sword pointed at them, and said in an angry tone "neither you nor Queen Bee is going anywhere."

Luthor then said "Young man, if you expect to detain me, please contact my attorney."

Mercy then walked in front of Luthor where the robot attacked and knocked out Aqualad, which cleared the path for Luthor to escape with a still unconscious Queen Bee.

Meanwhile Robin was taking out the minions when Zatanna said "Emoks dna srorrim!" followed by "Egnahc sehtolc otni sgnidnib!"

This had the desired effect of taking care of about a dozen of Bane's minions.

At the same time this occurred Superboy was getting repeatedly punched by Blockbuster who knocked the Kryptonian clear off of the cliff. Superboy stopped and hovered in midair before he flew up and started to beat the crap out of Blockbuster. With a dozen moves Black Canary taught him he knocked the villain out cold.

Aqualad had just come to only to see that Luthor, Mercy and Queen Bee were now in a helicopter as they attempted to make their get-away. Rocket told Aqualad that she would handle this and flew after the helicopter to attempt to stop their get-away. However, the girl had to put up a shield to protect herself from several missiles that were fired from the helicopter. Just as it looked like Luthor was going to get away Hermione flew up next to Rocket and sent a beam of magic that quickly caught up to the helicopter and turned the blades into dirt.

A blur of red yellow and blue then was seen by the two girls that resolved itself into the recognizable shape of Harry. Supermagus caught the now nonfunctional helicopter with one hand and brought it down with a little more roughness than was necessary. When the helicopter was safe on the ground Harry ripped the door off and flung it to the ground. Mercy attempted to shoot Supermagus to protect Luthor, but Harry just waved his hand and caused the android to vanish.

Luthor then pulled out his last resort (kryptonite) and tried to get Supermagus to back off, but Harry just stood there and said "Luthor you're going to prison where you belong."

Luthor obviously thought that Supermagus was faking his immunity to kryptonite as he tried to punch the Kryptonian, but found out Supermagus was not faking his immunity when several bones in his hand broke from the action. Supermagus' eyes then started to glow red with heat vision as Luthor held his broken hand in surprise.

Harry then waved his hand and healed the broken bones and with his eyes still glowing red said "you're lucky I never kill or you'd have been dead for what you tried to pull with my brother."

Luthor looked up after his hand was healed only to wet himself in fear from the sight Supermagus gave him. Luthor now knew of someone who could be far scarier than Batman could ever hope to be.

Luthor apparently saw he wasn't going to win here and pulled out his father-box only for a blast of magic from Harry to turn it into an adult diaper. Luthor quickly saw that he wasn't getting away and held his hands up in surrender.

Harry then said "sepor dnib xel rohtul dna neeuq eeb" which caused ropes to bind both of the villains tightly just as Queen Bee was coming out of her unconscious state.

Harry then said "Oh and Luthor if you think you're going to get away with this I've got multiple recordings and records that go into detail about you're illegal actions."

At this point Luthor knew he was at the very least going to lose any respect he had left from the general public, and at worst was going to spend a long time on the run.

Back with Artemis her father managed to knock her to the ground and was about to kill Artemis when Graviton, Kid Lantern and Kid Flash came to her rescue. Wally managed to surprise Sportsmaster and with a punch at superfast speed knocked the villain down for the count. Cheshire found herself having to dodge multiple green constructs when suddenly she felt like her weight had increased by a factor of three. The now immobile Cheshire was now an easy target was knocked out cold from a green boxing glove construct that was supplied by Neville.

Robin was in the middle of a fight with Bane when Zatanna who had just come around said "Etaerc Nibor snoisulli!"

The Robin illusions were quickly destroyed by Bane, but this gave Dick enough time to cut the tube that supplied Bane's body with venom. Dick then used one of the baterangs he had gotten for his birthday to stun Bane into unconsciousness. When Zatanna saw this was handled she walked over to an unconscious Blockbuster and sent a stunner at him to make sure the villain wouldn't be getting up any time soon.

Meanwhile Harry had flown back to the main group and carried a tied-up Luthor and Queen Bee in his hands. He saw that Sportsmaster had just woken up and was about to knock the villain out when Artemis beat him to it and viciously kicked the villain's head once, which was apparently enough to knock out Sportsmaster. Harry then conjured ropes and tied up Sportsmaster and Cheshire while Artemis took Cheshire's mask and gave it to Kid Flash for his souvenir collection.

The team was now back together as they had been able to quickly subdue their enemies. Rocket commented on how Zatanna was right and that it was always this interesting when it came to the missions the team went on. The team then had all of the villains carted off to prison after they all had inhibitor collars put on their necks.

THE WATCHTOWER
DECEMBER 30, 23:46 EST

Batman was in the process of investigating the biocircuitry of the items the team had recovered from Cheshire when Red Arrow came in to talk to Batman. While Batman was busy with his investigation into the objects Red Arrow stealthily stuck one of the objects onto Batman's neck, and the object then sunk into Batman and mentally enslaved the man. Batman then joined the rest of the Justice League whom Red Arrow had already suffered from the same fate. Batman then walked over to the holographic computer and used his membership to override the security of the Zeta-beam. Vandal Savage was then teleported via the Zeta-beam onto the Watchtower, and the whole Justice League besides Red Arrow bowed to the despicable man.

At that moment Red Arrow seemed to come out of a trance, and when he saw what the situation looked like he said "I...I was the mole?"

Vandal Savage seemed ready to gloat as he said "Yes, Yes you were."

However, before Vandal could gloat any more the computer said, "Warning Vandal Savage detected, protective measures activated."

Vandal Savage was then thrown back into the Zeta-beam terminal at high speed and teleported out of the Watchtower. As the villain flew through the air laughter that sounded exactly like Robin's could be heard. Red Arrow stared at what had just happened for a few seconds before he gave a short laugh and used the opportunity presented to make his escape. He figured that this was something Harry and Hermione had done as it had their signature all over it. It was a good idea too, as just a few minutes after he had left through the zeta-beam a portal opened up, and a very angry Vandal Savage stepped out along with a highly amused Klarion.

What Vandal didn't know until he tried to gain entry onto the Watchtower through usage of the zeta-beam, was that Harry and Hermione had put a ward up to provide a backup security system. The ward would send the intruder into uncontrolled flight back into the zeta-beam, and through magic would teleport the intruder to an undesirable location. In this case an angry Vandal found himself teleported right into the sewers below Metropolis. Vandal arrived just as a load from a side pump came and dumped the load right onto his head. The outraged villain tried to use his father-box to transport himself onto the Watchtower only to find that it gave him an error. Vandal then had no choice but to call Klarion, who teleported himself and Teekl to Vandal and then spent a minute laughing his head off at the situation Savage had found himself in.

After Klarion got his chuckles out he waved his hand which cleaned Vandal Savage of the stink and grit, and then formed a portal that took the two of them into the Watchtower. When Klarion did a quick sweep of the place he found a ward that sent unwanted visitors who used the zeta-beam an undesirable location.

Klarion then said "while it will be easy to remove it there's also a ward that's blocking all boom-tube transport both onto and off of this satellite, and it will take a while to overpower that ward."

Teekl then mewed at Klarion who said in response "yes I tried to find the ward stones so they could be removed you idiotic cat, but there seems to be some kind of magic on the ward stones that is preventing me from finding them."

Vandal then asked how long it would take to bring down each ward, and Klarion in response said "it will take minutes to remove the ward from the zeta-beam, but at least a few hours to remove the one that is blocking boom-tube transport."

When Vandal Savage heard this he started cursing up a storm in response to this news as it would set their plans back several hours. After a few minutes where the villain swore in multiple languages (including several dead ones) Vandal asked Klarion to remove both wards as fast as possible. Vandal also sent several of the Justice League members under his control (Flash, Green Arrow and Aquaman) to pursue Red Arrow and bring him back to the Watchtower. After the three were teleported to the location that Red Arrow went to Vandal started to contemplate on how he was going to put the teenage superheroes under the control of The Light.

To Be Continued…

A/N: Well that is the end of the chapter so please review. The next chapter will probably be up by the end of next week and will wrap up season one of Young Justice.
