"Lucy," Ethan called out as he roamed the halls. He had just picked up the girl from the zeta tubes and was going to show her around when she suddenly disappeared. "Lucy!" Ethan shouted in a irritated tone.
"Boo!" Lucy attempted to scare Ethan from behind by phasing through a nearby wall.
Ethan jumped and felt his spirit leave his body as his heart pumped rapidly. "Ah!" Ethan turned around to see a mischievous smile on Lucy's face. "Don't do that!"
Lucy shrugged as she stretched out her arms. "I was bored."
"We just started!" Ethan protested.
"And it's boring." Lucy replied by saying boring slower then usual.
Ethan placed a hand on his heart as his face started to puff up.
"You look like you're going to explode." Lucy said as she looked at his puffed up face. She poked his cheek and it seemed like steam came out of his ears. "What are you? Some kind of cartoon character."
"No, I'm fictional. I don't really exist." Ethan retorted.
"Hardy, har, har." Lucy replied as she rolled her eyes.
"I'm serious. There is some guy writing a story about us."
"How do you know about that?"
"The internet." Ethan replied with a smile.
"Really?" Lucy asked skeptically.
Ethan nodded vigorously. "Yeah. Want to see?"
Lucy shrugged. "Sure."
Ethan walked back toward the zeta tubes and placed himself in front of the computer everyone uses. Lucy watched as Ethan started typing on the computer and she raised a eyebrow as she noticed his fingers got bigger for some reason. While Lucy was distracted, Ethan typed in the name of the website and started searching for this writer.
"FanFiction?" Lucy repeated what was on the front page. "What kind of website is this?"
"It's where people go to write about stuff they like. Like, I write about a show named Justice. It lets you write about the characters of a show, book, movie or you can even add your own characters." Ethan explained with a smile as he looked at her.
Lucy had a bored expression on her face. "Seems kind of nerdy."
"Yeah, well." Ethan said, trying to come up with a comeback. "You have no memories!"
Lucy gave Ethan a blank stare of disbelief. "Really?"
"Anyways," Ethan stated to get back on point. "Here's the guy."
"Punisher164." Lucy said as she read it on the screen. "It says he's from New York." Lucy looked at Ethan. "Ever chilled with him?"
"One time. He's a cool dude."
"Really? Is he cute?"
"Not as cute as me." Ethan replied with a wink.
"So, not that cute." Lucy replied which made Ethan frown.
"I don't like you." Ethan stated as he looked at her.
"I'll grow on you… Eventually." Lucy replied with a smile. She looked back at the screen. "So he writes about us?"
"Yeah."
Lucy read was on the screen and she raised a eyebrow. "How does he know about our fight with the Five?"
Ethan shrugged, "Omnipotent?"
"That's impossible. What is he? God?"
"Anything is possible, my dear." Ethan said in a snotty tone.
"I'm not your dear." Lucy stated with a bored expression.
"So yeah, there goes our writer. We're not real."
Lucy rolled her eyes. "I don't believe that. Maybe this guy is some kind of reporter."
"With superpowers?"
"Maybe."
"I know what his power is."
"Oh?"
"Omnipotent."
Lucy scoffed and walked away from Ethan. Ethan caught up to her and started laughing. "I'm kidding."
"Of course you are." Lucy replied as she continued to walk.
"Still need a tour of the base? It's your first time here."
"Not my first time."
"Ok. You're first time here consciously. Because, you know, you were knocked out the last two times you were here and was rushed out as soon as you woke up." Ethan explained as they once again roamed the halls.
"Whatever. I already put my bags in my room. What else is there too see?"
"Everything!"
"What are you? Some kind of tour guide?" Lucy asked as she looked at him.
"Yeah. Since the real one, Tyreese, is kind of busy."
"Doing what?"
"Being, Tyreese. Duh!"
Lucy resisted the urge to smack Ethan behind his head. But she willingly followed the boy around as he showed her around the base. It was much bigger then she anticipated. He showed her the living area/kitchen. The basketball court, the weight room, the training room. But they got to this one particular room that was just empty. Lucy had no idea why this room was empty but she saw a tall boy with black hair and a white wolf next to him and she was curious.
"Who's that?" Lucy asked as she pointed at the boy.
Ethan looked at the boy she was pointing at who had a red S on his chest. "You don't know Superboy?"
"Hello, I was in cyro stasis for god knows how long. Of course I don't know who he is."
Ethan nodded. "Right, stupid thing to say."
"Very."
"But yeah, that's Superboy. From what I hear, he's a clone of Superman and Lex Luthor. He was in a tube," He looked at her. "Just like you. Except, you're a original and he's a clone."
"Thanks for pointing that out, Sherlock."
"You're welcome, Watson."
Lucy shook her head and walked toward Superboy who had one knee on the ground and was petting the wolf. Superboy noticed Lucy making her way toward him and he looked at her as he stood up.
"Hey, I'm Lucy." Lucy said with a smile as she put her hand out for a handshake.
"I know." Superboy said as he looked at her hand.
"It's called a handshake."
"I know."
"You know everything, huh?"
"Mostly.' Superboy replied with a smile as he shook her hand.
"How do you know my name?" She inquired.
"I saw you on the news."
"Wasn't me."
"I know."
"Man of few words, huh?"
"On occasions. I actually have to go on a mission with Alpha."
"Oh, really? Doing what?"
"Taking on a guy named BlockBuster." Superboy explained.
"Alright, well, don't let me keep you from your job."
Superboy nodded and walked past her. "Nice talking to you."
"Ditto!" Lucy shouted as Superboy walked away.
"Lucy's got a crush. Lucy's got a crush." Ethan whispered from behind Lucy.
"No I don't. I'm just curious."
Ethan raised a eyebrow. "About what?"
"About his experience in the pod."
"Oh… Well, want to go to the training room?"
"Why?" Lucy asked as she looked at him.
"I don't know."
Lucy sighed. "I don't got anything else to do. Lead the way."
Ethan nodded and headed back toward the training room with Lucy following him closely. He had a idea for the team since they looked depressed after losing to the Five. They should be, five people single handily defeated them. Knowing Beta, they would be off doing their own thing to cope with the lost. Once Lucy and Ethan entered the training room, the firs thing they saw was Alex sparring with Artemis, except Alex was holding a bow. Looked like Artemis was teaching him how to fight with a bow.
"Hey, guys." Ethan greeted with a small wave.
"What do you want?" Alex asked without looking as Artemis blocked one of his attacks with his bow.
"Be nice." Artemis scolded as she kicked him in the chest and dropped him to the floor with one of Alex's arrows in his face, in between his eyes.
Lucy was impressed. "Nice."
Artemis turned her attention to Lucy and wondered who the girl was. "Who's the new girl?"
"Her name is Lucy." Ethan announced.
"Hey." Lucy greeted with a smile and a small wave.
"Hey." Artemis greeted as she observed the girl.
"Artemis, you're on my chest." Alex managed to say as Artemis's knee was on his chest.
"Sorry." Artemis said as she stood up and helped Alex up.
"Can you teach me some moves?" Lucy asked Artemis.
"Don't know how to fight?" Artemis questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Not as good as I used to be."
"You used to be good?" Ethan asked skeptically.
"I'd like to think so." Lucy replied as she looked at him.
"I can give you some lessons." Artemis said as she placed her hands on her hips.
"What about me?" Alex asked as he looked at her.
"What about you?"
"My training."
"I can train both of you." Artemis declared as she walked over to the bottle of water and towel she had on a table nearby.
"You sure I won't be a burden?" Lucy asked as she fiddled with her fingers.
"Of course not. Besides, Alex has a lot of training to go through."
"I do?" Alex asked.
"You do." Artemis replied without looking at him. "Don't think just because Dante can learn anything in a day that you can learn the same way. Archery takes years to master."
"I don't have years!"
"That's why I'm training you, doofus."
"Oh…"
Ethan laughed lightly but quickly got glared at by Alex. "It was funny." Ethan said with a shrug.
"What are you doing here?" Alex asked Ethan as he stared at him.
"I was thinking of something that can probably get our minds off the Five."
"Like?" Alex asked as he crossed his arms and was open for suggestions.
"Why don't we go to New York?" Ethan asked with a smile.
"I'd love to go there!" Lucy stated enthusiastically.
Alex was initially going to shut it down but once he saw Lucy get excited about it. He thought it might actually be a good idea. Of course, he'd never tell Ethan that.
"Alright, we can head out there now."
Ethan shook his head. "No. We need to go at night."
"At night?" Lucy asked.
Ethan nodded. "New York is at it's best at night. Trust me."
"Alright, we'll head over there when it hits night time." Alex agreed.
"Awesome! I'm going to get prepared." Lucy said excitedly.
Ethan looked at Lucy. "But it's tonight."
"Duh! It takes girls a while to get prepared." Lucy replied as if Ethan was stupid.
"She's right. Hope you guys have fun." Artemis said with a smile.
"That's enough for today?" Alex asked her.
"Yeah. Go have fun."
Alex nodded and the three Beta members left the training room and headed to their own rooms. Well, besides Ethan who had to spread the word about the group trip to the city that never sleeps. A hour or so later, the team met in front of the zeta tubes but were waiting on Madison and Lucy.
"Where were you?" Ethan asked Tyreese.
"I was busy." Tyreese quickly replied.
"Doing?"
"Me." Emma replied but before she can go on. Ethan's mouth opened wide.
"What?!" Ethan exclaimed in disbelief.
"It's not what you think." Tyreese said with a shake of his head.
"I know what it means." Ethan replied with a wink.
Emma's eyebrow twitched as she looked at Ethan with a annoyed look on her face. "You didn't let me finish!"
"That's what she said." Ethan erupted in laughter.
Emma clenched her fist and punched Ethan in the face as hard as she could. Ethan went flying across the room and his head hit the wall that lead to the hallway where everyone's room were. Ethan felt dazed and felt like little birds were flying around his head. He rubbed his head and looked up to see Madison's disapproving look, staring at him.
"Hey, Madison." Ethan greeted as he used his free hand to wave at her.
"Loser." Madison grumbled and then walked away.
Ethan sat up and watched Madison walked away. He looked at the little outfit she put on and he thought she was cute. If only she wasn't so mean and sad at the same time. As Ethan was about to stand up, a bag hit the back of his head hard which made him rub it. He noticed that Lucy was walking up to the team and the thing that hit him was her purse. What did she have in there? Bricks?
"Lucy, what the hell!" Ethan exclaimed as he slowly get up.
"What?" Lucy asked as she spun around.
"You hit me with your bag."
"Sorry." Lucy said sincerely.
"What the hell is in there? Bricks?" Ethan asked as he walked up to her.
"Maybe." Lucy replied as she stuck her tongue out at him.
"Just watch where you're swinging that thing." Ethan warned.
"That's what she said." Lucy retorted with a burst of laughter.
Ethan made his way back toward the group and cautiously stood away from Emma, who was glaring a hole into him.
"You going to let me finish?" Emma asked with a scowl.
"Yes, ma'am." Ethan whimpered.
"He was doing me a favor."
"Whatever you say, ma'am." Ethan mumbled.
"Don't be a girl." Hector spoke up as he observed Ethan.
"What is that suppose to mean?" Emma asked Hector as she clenched her fist once again.
"Nothing, ma'am." Hector quickly replied.
"Who's the girl now?" Ethan asked as he looked at Hector disappointed.
New York City
8:00 pm est
It was still bright outside as the team made their way toward Times Square. During day or night, Times Square is always full of New Yorkers or tourists. The flashing lights were guiding the team to the central area of Times Square. Where everything was happening. The kids walked around as Lucy stared at every store they passed by. As if she never been to the Big Apple. Madison observed everyone that passed by and was listening to every conversation around her. She was like a hawk stalking her prey. Tyreese and Emma enjoyed themselves, especially when Tyreese took her into Toys R Us and they rode the ferris wheel that is for little kids. The twins… well, they tried talking to any girl that was around their age. Hector was somewhat successful but due to his 'loser' brother, the girls walked away from them. Alex on the other hand was mellow and had his hands in his pockets. He thought he can take his phone out and take some pics of the beautiful area for Ella but he didn't know if that was a good or bad idea.
A hour later, the team met up once again in the central area of Times Square. On one street where cars can drive by, there was a bunch of red chairs and tables for people to rest or sit on. The team sat at the area and looked like one big, diverse group of teens.
"Did ya know Times Square was named after the New York Times?" Ethan asked his group of friends. Well, most of them was his friends.
"You really are a tour guide." Lucy retorted as she looked at him.
"It's a common fact." He said as he pointed across the street to a business that was next to a Mcdonalds. It said 'Times Square Museum' and on moving headline it says what Ethan pointed out.
"I'll admit, this was a pretty good idea." Alex admitted, though he didn't want too.
"I agree." Tyreese said after taking a bite of his Mcchicken.
"You're no longer standing around me." Hector told his brother.
"Why not?" Victor asked.
"Because you chase the girls away." Hector said harshly.
"You sure it's not you slick?" Ethan asked Hector.
"Of course it's not me."
"Prove it." Ethan challenged.
"Alright, let's have a contest. Whoever can talk to a girl the longest, wins."
"Wins what?" Ethan asked curiously.
"A date with me." Lucy spoke up.
"Really?" Hector asked as he looked at Lucy.
"Of course not." Lucy erupted in laughter. "I was just kidding."
"Damn your sense of humor." Hector mumbled.
"Are you guys seriously having this contest?" Tyreese asked as he looked at the two boys.
"I disapprove. Women aren't trophys or a part of some contest." Emma pointed out.
"We're still doing this Emma." Ethan retorted as he looked at her.
"Ok. I pick the girls then." Madison said with a evil look on her face.
"On the other hand…" Hector barely whispered.
"Scared, Hector?" Madison asked.
"No!"
"Good." Madison replied as she started looking around for girls that would never talk to these two losers in front of her.
She finally pointed out two girls for the boys to talk too. The two boys stood up and headed toward the girls while the team looks on from afar wondering how this was going to turn out. Hector started out by greeting the girl but she continued to walk away from him while he walked and talked. Then, he heard the fated 'I have a boyfriend.' From the girl. Hector sadly made his way back to the team. Ethan on the other hand greeted the girl by walking backwards which made her giggle. They talked for a while and it seemed like Ethan was doing good until he asked for her number. She said he wasn't cute enough and for him to talk to her when he loses a few pounds. That seemed to break Ethan's confidence and he slowly made his way back to the group.
"Well, that was awful." Alex grinned.
"Thanks for pointing out the obvious." Ethan said as he took a seat.
"It wasn't too bad." Lucy tried cheering them up by patting them on the back.
The boys crossed their arms and muttered to themselves. They then started hearing loud music near them and they turned their chairs to see a bunch of people gathering around in a circle as a couple of street kids started dancing.
"That looks cool." Lucy said as she stared at the people dancing with enthusiasm.
"Want to go check them out?" Ethan asked the group.
They stood up and shrugged as they started making their way toward the group of people. They had to walk around the circle to get a good view but once they did, they watched as the group of teens started dancing to a remix of Frank Sinatra's New York, New York. The crowd started cheering as the teens danced to the hip hop mix.
"Cool, huh?" Ethan asked Lucy.
"Very." Lucy replied as she couldn't get her eyes off the dancers. "I love New York." She muttered.
Ethan smiled and looked back at the seats where the team was sitting. There was one young adult sitting on the chair Ethan was sitting on. He stared at the team with a smile on his face.
Ethan elbowed Lucy and pointed to the young adult sitting on the chair. "There he is."
"Who is he?" Lucy asked as she looked at the guy.
"Punisher164."
"How did he know we were here?" Lucy asked as she stared at the guy.
"I told you, Omnipotent."
"More like, creepy stalker." Lucy said as she looked back at Ethan who was gone. She then looked ahead to see Ethan was now dancing with the teens. It surprised Lucy how good of a dancer Ethan was. He would stretch himself out a couple of times to make moves look flashy but it was barely noticeable.
Lucy looked back at the location the guy was at and he was no longer there. The crowd cheering was overwhelming so Lucy shrugged and looked as Ethan danced with one of the teenage girl dancers. Everyone stopped moving once all of the lights in the area turned off.
"Black out?" Tyreese asked the group as he looked around at utter darkness. People started to panic and run around in fear.
"Not possible." Ethan replied as he looked at the once flashy screens that are now dark. "Except for that one summer a bunch of years ago."
"Guys, look!" Lucy exclaimed as she pointed at two figures that illuminated the way with each step they took.
The team knew who these two were, they got their butts handed to them by these two. On the right was Drake who had electricity cackling all around him which illuminated the area. And on the left was Reno, the leader of the Five. He was covered in fire and he too also illuminated the area. A mix of red and blue light illuminated the area thanks to the two gentlemen in front of the team.
"Looky here Drake, we found us some Beta players." Reno taunted as he and Drake made their way toward the team while civilians ran away.
"What are you doing here, Reno?!" Alex shouted as he looked at the leader.
"How did he even find us?" Tyreese muttered. They were in their civilian clothes, there was no possible way they could know who Beta was outside of their costumes. Unless Aiden told them who they were. But how would they know where to find them? Tyreese looked at Lucy and wondered if they can somehow find where she is like how Lucy can find where Natasha is.
"We're here to have some fun. I mean, that's why people come to New York. To have fun." Reno explained as a fireball appeared in his hand. "Let's see if you can handle two of us."
Reno threw a giant fireball at the team while Tyreese activated his magma armor. Victor stepped up and extended his arm with his palm up as a blast of ice pointed at the approaching fireball and froze it in mid air. Victor felt victorious for a moment but it quickly faded as Drake electrocuted Victor. Victor knelt to the ground as he was being electrocuted but Tyreese stood in the way of the stream of electricity knowing it wouldn't affect him thanks to his armor. Tyreese extended both of his arms with his palm up as a huge stream of fire headed toward Drake. Reno stepped in front of the fire and absorbed it which made his own fire grow more larger. With a smirk on his face, he didn't even notice Emma flying toward him from his right. Emma's fist connected with his face and sent him crashing into the nearby McDonalds. Glass shattered and customers screamed as Reno entered the building and made his way all the way to the other side of the counter.
"Heck of a punch in that girl." Reno muttered as he slowly got up.
Reno had bone spikes come out of his back and arms. Reno flew out of the McDonalds and into the sky, he spun around and a tornado of fire formed in front of the team as it slowly made it's way toward them. As the team ran away from the flaming tornado, spikes started shooting out of the tornado. One headed toward Lucy but luckily she phased through it. Unfortunately, once she went back to normal, Drake electrocuted her. As Tyreese went to help Lucy out, a volley of spikes hit him and affected him as they broke upon impact with his armor. Tyreese stumbled backwards and stared up at the fire tornado. How is it those spikes hurt him? Only super powered punches hurt him.
Alex felt useless, he didn't have any of his gadgets or anything. He couldn't help his friends at all. What kind of leader can't help his team members? Alex then noticed a nearby fire hydrant. Maybe that can cool Reno down. He ran over to it and after a couple of seconds of struggling with it, he managed to open it wide enough for it to hit the tornado of fire. The fire cooled down and the water hit Reno with great force that sent him flying into one of the billboards they had for a Broadway play.
The twins felt the earth beneath them shake, as if it was a Earthquake. But there wasn't any Earthquakes in New York City. Not for a long time at least. They looked at Drake who seemed to stop electrocuting people and he had his eyes rolled up for some reason. It then hit Victor that Drake can control earth as well. A huge wave that felt like a earthquake knocked the twins back into they bumped into Madison.
Ethan ran toward Drake and jumped high into the air as a wave headed toward him. He wrapped himself around Drake and started punching him.
"Can't electrocute me!" Ethan proclaimed.
"Sure about that?" Drake asked in his serious, deep tone.
Drake started surrounding himself in a aura of electricity and the lights around Times Square started flickering on and off. It didn't seem to affect Ethan but Ethan underestimated Drake. All of the lights went back on and a stream of electricity came from each monitor in the area. All of the electricity from those monitors headed toward Drake and like a thunderstorm's lighting hitting somebody, it hit Drake with full force. It may not kill Ethan due to his rubber like body but it would hurt him… a lot. The electrocution managed to get Ethan off Drake and Reno flew down and pinned Ethan to the floor with his bone spikes.
"This is too easy, Drake. Maybe we should go after Alpha. I hear they're more better." Reno taunted as a weak Beta looked at the two.
"We don't even need to call backup." Drake added.
"I don't see how Natasha couldn't handle these weaklings." Reno pointed out with a grin that looked like Dante's.
"Shut up!" Alex threatened.
"Is that suppose to scare us? You can't even do anything. Just give up. Let your friends with powers do the talking." Reno retorted.
Tyreese spun around as he held on to Emma and he sling shot her at rocket speed at Drake. As Emma flew toward Drake at rocket speed, Drake put up a rock armor that would protect him from the hit. Or stand up to it. As Emma's fist was about to connected with Drakes' face, he extended his arm and grabbed the fist. The force was enough to create a shockwave that knocked Reno and the remaining members of Beta away from the two. Emma was about to use her other hand to attack when Drake punched her with a rock encased fist. It staggered her and when she looked back at Drake, she noticed the rock armor wasn't up. Only because he had to make it disappear in order to do what he was about to do. Drake grabbed her in a tight hug and started electrocuting Emma. Emma screamed out in pain as she was being electrocuted, as if Zeus himself was punishing her for something she may have done.
The twins tried running toward Drake to stop him but Reno was quick enough to surround Drake in a circle of fire. Victor was unable to go through it but Hector was able too. Reno quickly stopped him in his tracks by accurately firing bone spikes that would pin him to a nearby wall. Once Drake was done with Emma, he activated his rock armor, spun around and threw her into the museum Ethan mentioned earlier. Four down and four to go.
"We should go." Drake spoke up.
"Why?" Reno asked as he looked at his comrade.
"We've done what we came to do." Drake pointed out as he pointed at the destruction the two caused in their fight with Beta.
Reno looked around. As much as he didn't want to agree with him, Drake was right. But he knew Drake only said it because he didn't like what they did. They were created to cause havoc but for some reason Drake was the only one who didn't like it.
"Fine." Reno gave in as he stood next to Drake. He looked at the remaining members of Beta. "See you next time, losers." Reno taunted and with a lightning strike, the two were gone.
Mount Justice
11:00 pm est
Alex stood near the super computer awaiting Batman who said he was coming to check on the team. Alex has seen Batman too many times already. He didn't like it.
"I heard about what happened. How's the team?" Batman asked as he walked toward Alex.
Alex looked stressed out. Twice in a row the team has lost to the Five. The first time against all five and this time against only two of them. They were too powerful and they had this kind of link with each other to know when the other is in danger. They worked like a family instead of a team.
"Emma and Lucy are unconscious and Hector and Ethan are ok. Just getting a check up." Alex explained as he rubbed some sweat off his face.
"They just attacked you?"
"Yeah. As if they knew who we were and where we were."
Batman thought about it for a moment. "Well, Aiden must have told the Light who you were. Then, the Light programmed your names into their heads."
"And they must have found us because Lucy has a link with one of them."
"Precisely."
"Maybe it was a mistake bringing her on board. If they are going to keep attacking us…"
"No. They only did it today as a publicity stunt. This whole attack was to show heroes are reckless. In this case, those two members, Reno and Drake are supposedly heroes. And by picking a fight with civilians with meta like powers shows that heroes are dangerous. It's all a chess game to get everyone to fear us."
"Why?"
"So they can get rid of us. It's the only way the Light can work without any distractions. To get heroes out of the way. That was their plan from the beginning. And it all started since the new President stepped in."
"The one we think works for the Light? The one that said we killed the former President?"
"Yes."
Alex clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "Those bastards!"
"Calm down, Alex."
"Don't tell me what to do, Batman! You lost that privilege a long time ago."
Batman was silent as he looked the young boy in the eye. "You're right."
Alex looked down as his anger grew. "What do we do now?"
"Why don't you let the League handle this one."
"No!" Alex shouted as he looked at his former mentor. "The Five is our responsibility. We'll take care of them."
"You sure?" Batman asked as he looked at the confident looking Alex.
"I'm sure." Alex replied seriously.
On the next episode of Young Justice:Beta...
It's the last day of school for Alex and Ella and they get a suprise visit from one of Alex's old enemies. Back before he put on his Crow costume. Meanwhile, Madison finds out that Ethan knows her little secret.
