Good *Palpatine voice* Suffer! lol Oh! That Virgil. I was like, who the hell is Virgil? If you meant him then I would have understand. Why would Virgil be in the Five? lol. By that time, he wouldn't even have his powers... I think. Yes, I'm so awesome I had to put myself into the story. What creator doesn't do it? If Stan Lee can do it then how come I can't? Beta is my baby and I'm watching over them in a creepy stalker way. I liked breaking the fourth wall in that chapter. Yes, I live in New York. It's pretty cool, well the city is. But the other boroughs ain't that great. Yeah, Conner and Lucy are pretty different which is probably why Lucy is so curious and stuff. Weird-ish cool makes perfect sense to insane people like us. Oh Yeah! you didn't check out the Team yesterday. Go check it out after this!... please? lol.
Lia, The Five will get their asses kicked in the future. Eventually Beta will win... With some help.
Overlord Susanno, Yep, thats what I'm about. Epic fight scenes and breaking the fourth wall by putting myself in there :)

Ethan entered the base via the zeta tubes and noticed Hector and Victor standing in front of the computer Batman and others used. Ethan was curious so he headed toward the computer to see what the twins were up too. As he got closer to them, he heard what they were saying among each other.
"You're such a loser." Hector stated as he looked at the computer screen.
"You're just jealous." Victor retorted with a smile on his face.
"What's going on?" Ethan asked the two as he looked at them.
Hector turned around and looked at Ethan. He pointed at his brother, "My brother is a loser."
"No, I'm not." Victor protested.
"Why is he a loser?" Ethan asked as he looked at Hector.
"He's on this online chatroom thing and he thinks he has a girlfriend." Hector explained.
"No, I don't!" Victor protested again. "We just started talking, you idiot."
Hector rolled his eyes. "Whatever. She's probably not even a real girl. Probably some old guy that's a perv."
"How do you know that?" Ethan asked with a curious look on his face.
"Have you been on the internet? Or seen movies or watched the news. It's usually a old guy."
"Not all the time." Victor defended.
"Why are you on a chatroom anyways?" Ethan asked Victor.
"Because I'm bored."
"And he's a complete loser. He can't make friends by himself. He needs a computer to meet them." Hector pointed out.
Victor snarled, "Shut up, Hector!"
"Make me!" Hector shouted as he clenched his fist.
Ethan stretched out his arms and placed his hands on the boys chests to push them away from each other.
"Hold on guys, no need to fight over this." Ethan stepped in, trying to calm the two down.
Hector scoffed as he glared at his brother. "Whatever. Don't come running to me when you find out the girls a guy or you want to meet her and she kills you or something." Hector stated as he walked away from the two.
"I swear, I have no idea how I'm related to him." Victor said as he turned toward the computer to continue to chat with the girl.
Lucy yawned as she sat on the bleachers in the gymnasium area of the base where the guys or girl (In Emma's case) come to play sports. She sat and watched as Tyreese and Emma played a game of basketball. Ever since Tyreese taught her how to play, she has been addicted to it. Mostly because of her competitive side. Tyreese kept winning but with each defeat, Emma got more better. Tyreese on the other hand, didn't mind playing basketball with a girl. It was definitely different but he couldn't guard her properly because it felt wrong. Well, it kind of felt right because he liked Emma but he didn't want her to think he was being some kind of perv or something.
Lucy noticed Superboy pass by the door that led into the gymnasium. She got off her seat and made her way across the court as Emma and Tyreese were playing. She received some complaints but completely ignored them as she walked. She finally made it out of the gymnasium and looked both ways to see which way Superboy had gone. She watched as Wolf ran past her and looked as if he was heading toward Superboy. Lucy decided to follow Wolf toward Superboy's location.
Once Lucy did, she heard a argument in the room where Wolf headed into. The argument stopped once Wolf entered the room. Lucy heard footsteps heading toward her direction from inside of the room. Lucy had to do something so she phased through a nearby wall that led into the kitchen area of the base. Once she deemed it was safe for her to go back the other way, she phased through the same wall to appear in the hallway where she previously was.
Lucy continued to hear the argument and she can hear Superboy's voice get more madder and madder as he talked. He also heard a female voice in the room who was trying to defend herself in the argument. Lucy decided she had to get a closer look because she wanted to know what it was all about. Curiosity got the best of her but she also wondered if eaves dropping was a good thing to do. Especially when they are having such a heated argument. Lucy stood there for a few minutes contemplating whether she should do it or not. In the end, she decided to eaves drop.
Lucy phased half of her body through the wall that led inside of the room and she seemed to be invisible. Thankfully, no one could see her but the lower half of her body was still in the hallway so anybody could spot her. That would actually be kind of awkward now that Lucy thinks about it. She watched as Superboy argued with a girl that was green just like Martian Manhunter. This must be that Miss Martian girl most of the boys and girls talked about. The one with the same powers as Martian Manhunter. They even said that was his niece.
"You can't just go into peoples heads like that Megan! It's wrong!" Superboy argued as he looked at the girl in front of him with anger in his face.
"It was a accident!" Miss Martian protested as she looked at Superboy with the same expression.
"No, it wasn't. I know when it is and when it isn't a accident. You did that on purpose. Nightwing and the others may have not noticed it but I did."
"It doesn't matter Conner. He deserved it!"
"Do you hear yourself? Who are you?" Superboy questioned as he looked at her.
"I'm still Megan."
"Not the one I used to know. I don't know what happened to you but your not the girl I fell in love with." Superboy stated sadly.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Megan asked with a sad expression on her face.
"I think… We should take a break."
"Take a break? Like… break up?"
Superboy nodded. "Yeah. I mean, I'm not getting older and you…. Changed."
"Conner, it doesn't need to be like this."
"I think it does…" Superboy said as he looked away.
"I-If… that's what you want."
"It is."
Miss Martian nodded. "Ok…" She walked away from him and then turned around to say something but Lucy got distracted.
Ethan watched as half of Lucy's body was inside of the wall. Ethan looked at the lower half with a grin on his face. He was still a guy and it wasn't that bad of a picture. He shook his head and snapped back to reality. He poked Lucy's side which made her flinch as if that was her tickling spot. Ethan watched as Lucy's top half came out of the wall and Lucy was now in front of him.
"What are you doing?" Lucy asked him in a hushed tone.
"Why are you whispering?" Ethan asked in a normal tone.
Lucy placed a finger on Ethan's lips. "Not so loud, they can hear us."
"They?" Ethan asked as Lucy's finger muffled his voice.
"Superboy and Miss Martian." Lucy explained.
"Were you just eaves dropping on a private convo." Ethan questioned with a raised eyebrow.
Lucy looked away embarrassed. "Maybe…"
Ethan waved his finger in front of Lucy's face. "Shame, shame, shame, Lucy. You know that's not right."
"Shut up, I know that." Lucy whispered.
"So why did you do it?"
"I was… Curious."
"Curiosity-"
"Killed the cat. I know."
"So what's the 411?" Ethan asked with a raised eyebrow.
As Lucy was about to say something, Miss Martian stormed out of the room and walked in the direction Ethan and Lucy were talking from.
Ethan watched as Miss Martian walked past him and he turned his head to look at her back. He then looked back at Lucy. "You think she's available?"
Lucy rolled her eyes. "You're unbelievable."
"I don't follow."
Lucy scoffed and walked away from Ethan so she can head inside to talk to Superboy. Ethan shrugged and started walking in the direction Miss Martian was going. Once inside, Lucy observed Superboy who was sitting on the chair with a sad expression on his face.
"Hey…" Lucy greeted from the door.
"Hey." He replied sadly.
"You ok?" Lucy asked in a concerned tone.
"Not really."
"Want to talk about it?"
"Not now."
"Is there anything I can do?"
"Just… leave me alone."
Lucy nodded and frowned. "Ok." Lucy turned around and walked out of the room.
As Lucy was walking away from the room she left Superboy at, someone snuck up behind her and started choking her. Lucy started gasping for air as someone kept choking her. She tried hitting the person but she kept missing or the person dodged it by moving the body part Lucy was aiming for. She tried reaching for the assailants eyes but she couldn't find them. As her world was turning black, she noticed the assailant loosened the grip on the hold and then threw her to the ground. Lucy started coughing and gasped for air for a minute or two. When she regained her composure, she looked up to see Artemis standing above her with a frightening look on her face.
"What the hell?!" Lucy finally managed to scream out.
"You don't even know how to defend yourself from a choke hold. You definitely need work." Artemis explained as she extended her arm and hand for Lucy to grab on to.
Lucy snarled as Artemis pulled her up and as soon as she was on her feet, she punched Artemis in the face. Surprised, Artemis took the punch and started rubbing her jaw afterwards.
"I sure as hell know how to hit somebody." Lucy remarked as she scowled.
Artemis nodded. "Fair enough. Sorry about that, just needed to see how much training you needed."
"Do you do this to all your students?"
Artemis shook her head. "No."
"Why not?"
"Because I don't have any. Well, except for Alex but he doesn't count." Artemis explained.
"Who taught you how to fight? A drill sergeant?" Lucy asked as she rubbed her neck and had a hard time swallowing.
"He was worse than a drill sergeant."
"Sounds rough."
"It was."
"So am I going to expect the same thing?"
"A little bit. But not too rough. Wouldn't want to kill you or anything."
"Your training kills?"
Artemis shook her head and chuckled. "No. Just messing with you."
"You're awful." Lucy retorted with a look of disbelief.
"I know." Artemis replied proudly.
As Ethan was following Miss Martian around the base like a creepy stalker, he noticed that once again, Madison's room was slightly opened. Ethan made his way toward the room and leaned against the wall near the doorway that led into the room. Ethan stood there, waiting for somebody to talk but nobody did. As if nobody was in the room. Ethan raised a eyebrow because of how quiet it was. Ethan stretched out his neck so he can stay in his current spot but also peek inside. His neck and head extended toward the door and Ethan could now look inside of the room.
"Told you he would come." The mean one told the real Madison.
Madison turned her head and looked at Ethan. "Ethan!" She yelled in anger as she quickly got up.
"Aw, dinkle butts." Ethan randomly said as his eyes widened as Madison headed toward his head.
Before he got a chance to get his neck and head back to his body, Madison quickly grabbed his neck and glared into his eyes.
"What are you doing here?!" Madison asked in a shout.
"I was just passing by." Ethan replied as he got his legs working and moved his body toward his extended neck and head.
Madison watched as Ethan turned back to his normal, chubby self. He looked at her with a worried look on his face while she scowled and seemed like she wanted to rip off his head.
"You were the one that told Black Canary. How dare you!" She said and smacked him.
Ethan's eyes widened due to the smack and he rubbed his cheek. "I only did it because I was worried about you."
"You don't even know me!"
"I don't care! I'm trying to help you. Talking to your clones ain't going to help you. You need to realize that."
"I just realized I can't trust you. You didn't need to tell her."
"But I did. Because we're concerned about you. If you would just open up instead of hiding in your room all day. You would be fine!"
"You know nothing! I don't want to see your face around here anymore." She pushed him against the wall. "You understand." She asked as she kept her hand on his chest.
"Whatever." Ethan replied as he smacked her hand off his chest and walked away from her.
Gotham City
2:00 pm est
It seemed like Alex and Ella were the only ones in school. Can you blame the other students? It was the last day of school. Hardly anyone went to school on that day let alone stay the whole day. The halls were empty except for the random appearance of one of their teachers or some teacher's pet. Alex and Ella decided to go to school that day because they thought it would be the last time they would see each other until school started in the fall. With Alex having to deal with his hero thing and the Five and with Ella doing… what Ella does. They feared they wouldn't see each other during the summer. They kept promising each other they would call or attempt to hang out with each other but both didn't know if they can fulfill those promises.
"Well, this was fun." Ella said sarcastically.
"Yeah it is." Alex retorted.
"Best day ever."
"Best school day ever." Alex corrected.
"So what are you doing this summer?" Ella asked for the first time.
Alex shrugged. "I don't know. Probably hang with my friends. You know?"
"Yeah, I don't'." She chuckled.
"Don't have friends?"
"Not many."
Alex smiled. "You have me."
"That's just wonderful." She replied sarcastically.
"So mean." He stated with a frown.
"Only to you."
"That's reassuring."
"What about you and Frank?" Ella asked.
"He would be busy at work. I swear, it's as if he has another adopted boy he's hiding from me."
"You never know." Ella smiled.
"So what are you doing this summer?" Alex asked, also for the first time.
"Probably go to Metropolis."
"With your adoptive parents?"
"Who else?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I don't know. I mean, you say you're not that close with them. I'd assume you would go with… someone else."
"Like?"
"I have no idea."
"That seems to happen often."
Alex punched Ella's arm gently. "You and your little jokes."
Ella punched his arm harder. "You and your wimpy punches."
"Only because you're a girl!" He yelled as he rubbed his bruising arm.
"Wimp." She repeated with a wink.
Alex and Ella continued to walk through the halls of the school. There hands would touch and one would always reach for the others hand so they can hold hands but one would always move their hand away. It was like a confusing game for them. They didn't know whether they wanted to hold hands or not. What would that symbolize? That they were great friends or girlfriend and boyfriend. They were both clearly confused with how their relationship stood.
"Half-Pint!" A much larger voice shouted from behind them.
They both stopped walking and just stood there wondering who was talking to them. Or who that person was talking too.
"Who is he talking too?" Alex asked without looking behind him.
"Probably you."
"Why me?" Alex asked as he looked at her.
"Because your smaller then me."
"Only by a inch."
"Still a half-pint in my book." Ella replied with a smirk.
Alex turned around with his hands in his pockets looking as chill as he can though his heart begged to differ. "Yes?" Alex asked in a calm tone.
"You remember me?" The very tall somewhat chubby and muscular man asked Alex.
"Uh, no." Alex replied as he gulped. He could deal with villains but for some reason, in his civilian life, he couldn't handle bullies. Or people taller then him.
The man huffed and snarled. "You should. You're the reason bad things have happened to me."
"You sure?" Alex asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm positive." The man said as he got closer to Alex. "I'm going to destroy you for what you have done." The man said with anger in his voice. He punched a nearby row of lockers and left a huge dent on it.
Alex's eyes widened at what was displayed in front of him. Was this guy a meta? And was his power super strength? If it was… Then Alex is in trouble.
"Calm down fella. I think you got the wrong guy."
"Oh, no, I'd remember that face. The face that kept me from getting adopted."
Ok, so this guy was in the same foster home as Alex. But which one? And how come Alex can't remember him.
"Maybe we can just talk this out. You know, man to man. Or in your case, very big man to very small child." Alex said and chuckled nervously.
"No, I'd prefer to let my fist do the talking."
"Typical." Ella said as she watched from afar.
"What?" Alex asked as he looked at her.
"Men always let their fists do the talking."
Alex frowned, "So not helping right now."
Ella shrugged but her eyes widened as the man started running toward Alex. "Look out!" She shouted but it was too late. The giant man grabbed Alex by his head and threw him against the lockers.
Alex's back hit the lockers hard and he slid to the floor with his back in pain. He felt himself getting lifted up and he was now face to face with his attacker.
"I don't know who you are." Alex said in pain.
"You're going to remember. I'm going to make you remember."
The man slammed Alex's back against the wall several times and threw him through a door and into a classroom that was not occupied. Alex slide on the door he smashed through and his head hit the teachers desk. Alex looked up as the man stomped toward him. Alex had to do something, but what? He didn't have any of his gadgets and he couldn't reveal all of his moves in front of Ella. That would just be weird. But what other choice did Alex have? Getting killed by the giant in front of him. He had to improvise, but how?
Alex noticed some scissors that dropped from the teachers desk when his head hit it. He grabbed the scissors and waited for the giant to come toward him. As Alex expected, the giant picked Alex up once again.
"Now do you remember? Do you remember what happened to me?"
"No…" Alex replied weakly.
"Maybe I should freshen your memory."
"Maybe I should freshen your breath with a tic tac." Alex retorted as he stabbed the giants hand which made the giant lose his grip.
Alex landed on the floor as the giant grabbed his hand in pain. Alex took this opportunity to stab the man once again but his leg this time. The giant fell to one knee as he started to feel double the pain. Alex punched the man several times until he finally fell to the ground. Alex limped toward Ella who looked at him with a shocked expression.
"See, everything is fine." Alex said with a cheesy smile.
"You don't look fine." Ella said as she observed his face. She placed a hand on his cheek and started touching a cut he had on it. "We need to get you to the nurses office."
Alex placed his hand on hers and smiled. "Ok."
Just then, the Giant ran toward Alex and grabbed him. He then spun around and threw Alex out of the two story window.
"Alex!" Ella shouted as she looked out the window to see a lifeless looking Alex on the grass of the front lawn of the school.
"He's not dead. Not yet, at least." The giant said as he walked over to the window.
"You monster! Leave him alone!" She shouted as she started punching his back. She didn't want to do anything that would reveal her powers but she had to protect Alex.
The giant turned around and back handed Ella which sent her flying toward a nearby row of lockers. Her back hit the locker and she fell on her stomach.
"Don't touch me again. Stay out of this." He said. He then jumped out the window and landed in front of Alex.
Ella started coughing and winced as she felt her back was in serious pain. She also felt as if she broke some ribs. Now she really had to do something. Not only did he attack Alex but he laid his hands on her. She wasn't going to allow that again. She knew nobody was around and since Alex is unconscious, she can take care of this guy. Now all she had to do was get up and head downstairs.
Ella slowly managed to make her way outside. She leaned on a wall and watched as the giant started talking to a unconscious Alex. Ella limped her way toward the giant and she watched as he picked up Alex and seemed like he was going to deliver the final blow.
Ella's eyes widened. "Let him go!" She yelled in pain.
The giant looked at her. "I told you to stay out of this."
Ella extended her arm with her palm up. A blue orb started forming in her hand. "And I'm telling you now. If you don't leave him alone. I'll kill you."
The Giant laughed. "I'd like to see that."
Ella leaned against a nearby wall so she can balance her arm properly so she can have a good shot. She aimed her palm at the giant and released a blast of blue energy that knocked the giant down and made Alex roll away from him. Ella knew that blast would leave a white stripe on her hair and she would definitely need to make a excuse for that. But she would have to think about it later.
The Giant screamed out in pain as the blast burned a hole in his shirt and left a burn mark on his chest. Ella limped toward him and was now standing above him.
"Any last words?" She asked as she extended her arm and had her palm aimed at his head.
"Please, no. I don't want to die." He begged as he put his hands in the air defensively.
"Pathetic." Ella muttered. She pulled out a bat she found in the classroom Alex fell into.
She hid it with her other hand which looked like she was reaching behind her back because she was in pain. She lifted the bat and hit the man on the head with it. His eyes closed and his breathing slowed. Ella smiled as she looked at the unconscious giant. From the corner of her eye, she noticed Alex waking up and groaning. She dropped the bat and ran over to his side. She knelt down and lifted his head.
"Alex? You ok?" Ella asked in a concerned tone.
Alex rubbed his head. "What happened?"
"Giant threw you out of the window." Ella reminded him.
"Right. Did I win?" Alex asked with a sheepish smile.
"No, silly." She retorted with a smile.
"What happened to him?" Alex asked as he slowly got up.
Ella stood beside him. "I knocked him out."
Alex looked at her in disbelief. "How?"
She pointed at the baseball bat. "Played baseball."
Alex observed her closely. "You got another white stripe." he said and touched it to show her.
"I do?" She asked innocently. "Didn't notice."
Alex looked at her suspiciously but decided to leave the questions for another time. He looked back at the giant. "What happened to his chest?"
Ella shrugged as if she didn't know. "I don't know."
Alex knelt down in front of the giant and observed the burn marks on his chest. "Seems like burn marks."
"Maybe he was tortured. And the glass up there," She pointed at the window he jumped out of. "Ripped up his shirt."
"Seems like recent burn marks. As if it just happened."
"What are you? A detective?"
Alex chuckled. "Sort of."
"Alright, Batman. How did he get burned?"
Alex shrugged. "I don't know.
Ella walked up to Alex and stood beside him. "Now do you remember him?"
Alex nodded slowly. "Sort of. I was in this foster home in the south side of Gotham. He was about to get adopted but he used to bully me. So, during his interview with potential parents, I played a prank on him to make him look bad. Since then, he never got adopted. They thought he was a trouble maker because I showed his true colors. He shouted he was going to kill me and everything. He dropped his act and the potential parents saw who he truly was. A jerk."
"So he came after you for that?"
Alex shook his head. "Had to be something else. The guy has superpowers so maybe he's a meta or got experimented on."
"If he got experimented on, that explains why he's so mad at you."
Alex nodded and frowned. "I could have never predicted this. Him growing up to probably be sold off to a laboratory that experimented on him. Who knows what he has seen."
Ella placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "It's not your fault. You couldn't have seen this coming."
Alex nodded. "Yeah…" He looked at her. "Let's get out of here before the cops or teachers come."
"I am definitely not paying for this."
Alex smiled. "Exactly."
The two walked away from the giant with small smiles on their faces. While walking, the two touched each other hands and decided to hold each other hands. They linked their hands together and continued to walk while holding each other hands tightly.
On the next episode of Young Justice: Beta...
Ethan suggests the team goes to the beach for Fourth of July. They invite Alex but he is really reluctant. He then comes up with a idea to bring Ella along so they can enjoy a day out in the sun. Little does he know how much they actually would enjoy that day. Tyreese and the others enjoy their little vaction in the sun. Basically a fluff episode of them getting to know each other better and just relaxing and having fun. Ella and Alex might do something memorable on that day. Stay tuned and find out :)
