Chapter XXI: First Impressions.

Last Time.

"This is crazy!" Virgil said to the others. "I mean against the rules crazy! Right, Naruto?"

"Yes, but I'm not their parents. I advised against it but they wanted too. Bart's from I guess now a different future fighting the Reach where no one hid their identity. And Jaime for pretending to be controlled and had to give away his identity." Naruto said before seeing Wendy speak to Perdita.

"Your man… He's pretty great."

Naruto smiled as that was the first time she's talked without being talked to since her accident before turning to the others. 'Hope they know what they're doing.'

"Those hero boys are pretty cool, Mon.

Looking back, he saw the other Meta-Teen girl talking beside Virgil with a Jamaican accent.

"R-Really?" Virgil asked flustered.

"And not just cool… Hot."

"Well you know I'm a… A friend of theirs."

"Sure you are." She said before walking away as Virgil groaned and facepalmed.

"You gotta get a girlfriend," Traci said as she crossed her arms.

Now.

Atlantic Ocean December 01, 04:26 EST.

At the bottom of the ocean, an alien insect-like warship suddenly turned on.

The Watchtower December 04, 19:09 EST.

Kage stood with Aquaman, Superboy, Troia, and Miss Martian as Beast Boy stood in front of them with the Team with two small button speakers on his collars.

"OK Garfield, you called this meeting." Miss Martian said to her brother.

"And I appreciate you hearing me out." Beast Boy said before turning to Aquaman. "Kaldur, though the Justice League's ranks are divided, you stand center stage defending a world seemingly committed to stopping your good works." Beast Boy then turned back to her sister and brother-in-law. "M'gann and Naruto, you lead the Team against our adversaries while avoiding the spotlight. Despite all obstacles, all three of you are making a difference. But something is missing."

"OK, I'll bite," Stephanie said looking to the others before turning to Beast Boy. "What?"

"A public version of the Team. Young heroes rebelling against the system to fight the good fight in clear view of the public."

"No!" Aquaman said as Naruto turned to him. "We do not put those kinds of targets on our underage heroes. That is what the Justice League is for."

"You all said the same to us eight years ago," Naruto said, getting Aquaman to turn to him. "I guess it comes full circle now. Just hear them out, we did for you."

"Have you seen the headlines lately?" Beast Boy asked as holograms came up showing protesters for the League or Meta-Humans, the trafficking problem, and multiple reports on Lex and the U.N. restricting the League. "Lex's grip on the U.N., the public fear of the Meta's. Bad guys like Granny Goodness and Baron Bedlam are capitalizing on it!"

"We've lost the hearts and minds of the people we're trying to protect. Demigods and fear mongers have caused folks to give up on the heroic ideals. The reason the Justice League was formed in the first place!"

"Great! Now I'm thoroughly depressed." Steph said with a sigh.

"Don't worry, I got you covered!" Beast Boy said before turning back to the others. "We're gonna break the rules the League can't. We're gonna connect with people in ways that can't be blocked by governments. We're gonna quiet the fears of the public terrified by the Meta-Gene Generation. And we'll do it all by inspiring that generation, because we are them, raised alongside them in the fallout of a scary meta-human world. We can be the ones that can have them conquer their fears!"

"That's a great speech Gar, sincerely." Miss Martian said to Beast Boy. "But how's that different from what the League's trying to do now?"

"The League and the Light are fighting spin campaigns and the Light's winning! That's not what I'm talking about. Look at this." Beast Boy then brought up screens of photos that fans took of them at the Meta-Human Youth Center and the photo of the fangirl that he, himself, helped a while back. All of the photos have millions of likes and thousands of shares on social media.

"Without even trying, these actions have generated something organic. Something beyond spin. Something that could never emerge from under the thumb of Luthor or Granny. It's something relatable. It's something we can build on. By giving people something they can brand. Something they can own on social media. Something that makes them part of the story!"

Beast Boy then turned to them. "We're going to be highly mobile, and accessible. And together, we're going to start a revolution!" He finished with a fist pump. "A-A small one anyway."

"You have given us much to consider," Aquaman said as Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle, Static, Geo-Force, and Kid Flash walked up to stand beside Beast Boy.

"No, we haven't. Get on Board or get out of the way!"

Superboy rolled his eyes at that before being elbowed by Troia.

"You all heard the story!" Kid said arms crossed.

"You guys built this Team." Beetle followed with a smile.

"It's time to take it to the next level!" Wonder Girl finished hands on her hips.

"Are you sure you're ready for this kind of spotlight?" Stephanie asked them.

"Green skin, can't hide." Beast Boy said with a shrug.

"The Reach outed me two years ago." Beetle said from behind Beast Boy.

"Kid Flash is out too from back in Wally's day." Kid said with a smile. "The public doesn't always get I'm a different person. Plus, I never rocked that whole secret ID thing anyways you?" He asked the others.

"Markovia and the world already know what I've become, now I want to show them who I've become." Geo-Force said with a sigh.

"And there was no way I was going to let this be a no girls squad!" Wonder Girl said looking back to the new team.

"The group needed a little color," Static said with a shrug as well before Beetle turned to him.

"Hey, brown skin here."

"Might as well be blue skin with that faceplate." Static replied tapping Beetle's armor.

"The rest of you?" Miss Martian asked the others.

"Not ready, not yet," Halo said as Miss Martian nodded.

"That's just fine. I was beginning to think I was losing my entire Team."

"Wouldn't if I was leading," Naruto said under his breath before being elbowed by his wife.

"And I guess we're too old," Steph said with a chuckle before sighing. "Wow, when did that happen?"

"So it is decided," Aquaman said as Naruto stepped forward.

"Then the Covert Team is Halo, Thirteen, Tara, Superboy, Troia, Miss Martian, Black Bat, and Forager. And the Public Team led by Beast Boy is Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle, Static, Kid Flash, and Geo-Force but still will answer to me."

"You?"

"Yes, I'll supervise you and give you any missions that I think will be better suited for your Team. I'll also help with training you since Black Canary will no doubt be busy for the moment. Agreed?"

"Agreed, Oh! There's one more thing I got covered." Beast Boy said before pointing to the Zeta-Tunnel. "Our living arrangements."

Hollywood December 04, 17:48 PST.

"Welcome to the Premiere Building."

Naruto looked around the room of the top floor of a building Garfield brought them to via Bio-Ship with a helipad outside. Naruto looked to see a Kitchen and eating area, overlooking the city. Several spacious separate bedrooms above the room they're standing in, enough for everyone including those not in the team and living with Naruto and Superboy.

And finally the room they're in with a holographic computer interface and a spot that's being built for a Zeta-Tube.

He looked to see not only both teams but Helga and Victor as well. Naruto brought a hand to his ear as he walked away while Beast Boy was explaining the base to the others after calling the place, 'The Hub'. He walks them through each room showing them the holographic interfaces, secured links to the Watchtower.

And when they're not out on missions, the place also works as living quarters for its members that don't have a place to live. He also explains they will also have a science lab, Gym, and Med Bay as he motioned to empty rooms on the bottom floor.

"This is all really nice, but who's paying for this?" Steph asked as a camouflaged Bio-Ship floated to the street.

"Gretchen Goode. She may have me locked in a contract but she doesn't control my off-hours and she does have to pay me. I used that money to fund this."

"Now that's what I call a payback!" Wonder Girl said before turning to Static for a fist bump. "Eh?"

"Yeah, this is a sympathy bump." He replied unenthusiastically fist-bumping with her.

"The new place is great Gar, but I don't feel comfortable leaving all these teens without adult supervision." Miss Martian said as Steph grinned.

"Yeah, you never know what will happen." She said reminding the Martian of the times she and Naruto had sex in Mount Justice.

"I would be happy to volunteer," Helga said as she explained she was tired of living in a hotel room.

"And I've got help," Naruto said as the others turned to him. "Look, you won't be hidden like Mount Justice technically as the villains thought we stopped using it after the Joker attack. Or up in space like the Watchtower. And since most of us can't stay here as the world knows us. So, in case of a major villain attack, I got the next best thing to help." He finished as the Bio-Ship opened its hatch revealing two robots. (1.)

Both bear a striking resemblance to Red Tornado. The first is a tall red male robot with no ears or nose. Both his mouth and eye sockets are red. He has a yellow inverted trident symbol on his chest and another on his forehead.

This is Red Torpedo.

The other resembles a female. She is mostly red with a yellow stripe going down the middle and another yellow stripe on her left thigh.

This is Red Inferno.

"Gang, these two are Tornado's siblings, He's Red Torpedo and she's Red Inferno. They'll live here in case you get attacked." Naruto said standing between them. "I trust them. They're like family to me!"

"How are we family? We were not born nor are you a robot created by our 'Father'." Torpedo said to Naruto who sighed before Inferno spoke up after her brother.

"And I know I resemble a female but I'm not part of your side harem."

"Great you two usually take things literally but that… That one joke you get and you're a comedian." Naruto said with an eyebrow twitch as a sad Forager leaned on the camouflaged Bio-Ship.

Brooklyn Maine December 07, 22:35 EST.

(A/N: These Brooklyn scenes will be canon, feel free to skip.)

A Caucasian teenage girl walked down the street of a small town looking at her smartphone. She has blue eyes and brown hair past her shoulders. She's wearing mostly black-themed clothes, with a coat, white gloves, and a black hat.

A sheriff's car pulled up beside her before the window rolled down. And revealed a Caucasian man with short brown hair and mustache with blue eyes and wearing a sheriff's uniform with a jacket, badge, and white cowboy hat.

"Evening Gabby, need a lift home?"

Gabrielle smiled before shaking her head. "No thanks, Sheriff Maguire. I was just on my way to study with Big Words-I mean, Antonia."

Suddenly, they hear a noise before Patrick jumps out of his car and pushes Gaby down as a laser is fired from the sky, blowing up his vehicle.

BOOM!

"What, what is that?!"

"I don't know, but we're getting out of here!" Patrick yelled A small insect ship flies out of the sky and pursues him and Gaby as they run. Gaby then takes a live video with her phone.

Hollywood December 07, 19:37 PST.

"Got it Kaldur." Shinobi in his Dark Wear said through his commlink as he sat in the living room going over the screens to get them set up.

He turned to see Kid Flash is busy playing holographic air hockey by himself as Beast Boy watches before seeing a live feed pop up.

"Gar, look at this."

Beast Boy turned to see Gabrielle filming the alien attack before putting the camera on her. "It-It just showed up and started shooting the town! If anyone's seeing this, please send help. Send-AAH!" She stopped as the ship shot near her.

"Is that a Reach ship?" Wonder Girl asked as Kid sped over.

"Looks like it." Miss Martian said, floating down.

"This… Is so modded."

"Oh man, this could be it!" Beast Boy exclaimed before a holographic screen with a red button appeared in front of him. "I'm hitting the Troub-Alert!"

He pressed the button having a very loud alarm ring through the floors as a red light blinked.

"Mother of God! That ridiculous alarm is even louder up here!" Geo-Force yelled as the other Outsiders walked out.

"This better not be another practice," Static said walking from the kitchen with Beetle.

"No drill, the Reach is back!" Kid yelled to the heroes.

"No."

"Hold on, Aquaman's there," Naruto said as Gabrielle turned to show Aquaman fighting the ships with his water swords before being hit.

"Oh no! Aquaman's hit!" Gabrielle said as the Squad left via Boom Tube.

Brooklyn Maine December 07, 22:45 EST.

The Squad flew/ran to Aquaman as Gabrielle looked to them. "Whoa! It's Kid Flash! And there's Blue Beetle, a flying girl, and a green bird… Oh my God! I think that's Garfield Logan! Garfield Logan is in Brooklyn!

"Blue, can you confirm they're Reach?" Garfield asked Beetle, his voice coming out of the two small speakers on his collar.

"Scarab confirms it I can deactivate them on contact But only one at a time." Beetle replied.

"Great!" Beast Boy exclaimed. "I'll distract them while you-Whoa!" They dodged lasers that were shot at them.

Wonder Girl blocks their missiles with her bracelets, but one gets through, blowing Wonder Girl through a glass window and into a library where a girl is studying.

She is a Caucasian teenager with brown eyes and slightly curled brown hair. Her clothes are green-themed, with a big yellowish hat with flaps, along with fingerless gloves. She also has large, round glasses.

She ducks as Wonder Girl hits a bookcase, knocking her glasses off and she starts crawling around on the floor, looking for her glasses.

"(Groan!) That stung!" Wonder Girl groaned holding her head.

"My spectacles!"

Wonder Girl stood up and handed the girl her glasses. "Here you go."

"Oh! Gratitude!"

"Stay calm citizen. And stay inside while we swat these bugs!" Wonder Girl exclaimed before flying off as the girl ran to the broken window with her phone to start live recording as well.

"Well, I'll be super amalgamated!"

She saw Static luring one of the Reach ships into the woods where Geo-Force is waiting. He melts the ground, forming it into a series of shards. The Reach ship hits the shards and hits the ground sliding to another teen girl building a snowman.

She is a Caucasian teenage girl with short blonde hair and blue eyes. Her clothes are mostly white with dark blue scarf, gloves, pants, and earmuffs.

She notices the Reach ship skidding towards her. She hides behind a tree as the ship comes to a stop. Looking out, she also starts to live record with her phone as Blue Beetle lands on top of the disabled ship and deactivates it by placing his hand on it having it and the spot glow light blue.

Gotham City; Naruto's Penthouse December 07, 22:49 EST.

Stephanie, Violet, and Tara are watching one of the videos on a laptop in their kitchen. Violet and Tara cheer as they watch Beetle shut down the ship.

Hollywood December 07, 19:50 PST.

Helga Jace, Miss Martian, Forager, and Victor Stone watch the battle from their video monitor. Helga smiles.

"Careful Beast Boy, there's one behind you!" Naruto said through his comm as he watched the video with a holo-keyboard in front of him.

Brooklyn Maine December 07, 22:51 EST.

Aquaman is pulling Sheriff Maguire and Gaby to safety.

"I think one went down in the park!" Gaby said, still taking video with her phone.

"Please miss, you must get to cover," Aquaman says to her.

Gaby ignores him as she watches Kid Flash lure another ship away from the city. "And Kid Flash is leading another one away!"

The ship chases Flash right into Wonder Girl's lasso. With all her might, Wonder Girl pulls the ship down from the sky.

"That was flabbergastingly fabulous!" The girl in the library yelled out as Blue Beetle lands on Wonder Girl's grounded ship and deactivates it.

"Antonia!"

Antonia looked to see the blonde girl running to her. "Salutations Tommi!"

Central City, December 07, 21:51 CST.

An elderly man sat beside a hospital bed holding the hand of a very sickly looking elderly woman watching the Outsiders video.

He's a remarkably well-preserved Caucasian male with brown hair and blue eyes. Despite graying around the temples, wearing jeans and a red polo shirt.

She is a Caucasian female with short, white hair and blue eyes.

Taos December 07, 20:52 MST.

Ed is showing the live video feed of the battle to Wendy, Mist, and Livewire on his tablet.

Brooklyn Maine December 07, 22:54 EST.

The last Reach ship chases Beast Boy, still a bird. Beetle comes up from behind the ship and deactivates it. "Shut down complete-Oh, maybe deactivating in mid-air wasn't smart!" Beetle yelled as the ship plummets to the ground.

"Coming in hard!"

Beetle tries to slow it down as Wonder Girl arrives to assist and the lower the ship gently.

"Gotcha covered!"

Gaby, Antonia, and Tommi all celebrate the Team's victory. Beast Boy turns human again and smiles for the cameras as the girls go crazy.

Gotham City; Naruto's Penthouse December 07, 22:55 EST.

The girls watched cheering before Steph spoke up. "Feels weird seeing the Team's mission televised. I guess I'll have to get used to it. And we'll have to get used to not having you two around as well."

"I thought you said the house was too crowded," Violet said to Stephanie.

"Yeah, but we like it crowded. Naruto and I never really had a family with our parents dying or being in prison, and Jade and Artemis didn't have a happy one either. We're really going to miss you guys." She then picked up a metal ice cream scoop. "One last sleepover, with ice cream?"

"Yeah, that'll keep you up."

Looking to the living room, they saw a clone of Naruto walking in after putting his kids to sleep

Brooklyn Maine December 07, 22:56 EST.

"Thank you, Garfield! For saving us!" The teen girls are thanking Beast Boy for saving them.

"Call me Beast Boy and don't thank me, thank my squad. Geo-Force, Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle, Static, and Kid Flash."

As he introduces them to the girls his Team takes the three pilots, all women wearing bodysuits with helmets out of the Reach ships. "I knew this didn't feel right. They're not Reach at all. Look!" Beetle said, pulling the helmet off of the pilot he picked out.

She is a Caucasian woman with very long red hair and pale white skin. "Whisper A'Daire! She works for Intergang!"

The others pulled the helmets off revealing human women as well.

The first is also Caucasian with short black hair and blue eyes. "Scorpia A'Daire." Beast Boy said scanning them with his contacts.

The next woman has olive-colored skin with short white hair. "Cairo DeFrey."

"Intergang?" Maguire asked as Beast Boy turned and exclaimed they're a criminal gang that specializes in selling alien tech on the black market.

"And we would've scored big time! If you heroes hadn't gotten in our way!" Whisper yelled before another man ran up all missing a red light blink in the ship.

He's Caucasian with graying black hair wearing yellow-tinted glasses with a suit under a trench coat and long scarf.

"Sheriff! Arrest these costumed delinquents! The Justice League did not go through the proper channels to be in Brooklyn.

"Excuse me, but these young heroes are not members of the League."

"Oh, so they're vigilantes?!"

"They just saved the town!" Gabrielle exclaimed.

"Saved it?! Look what they've done to our library!" He pointed to the broken window as Tommi turned to him.

"Dad, uncool!"

"Don't 'Dad' me Tommi Tompkins! It's time your little 'News Girls Legion' woke up and smell the maple syrup! Lex Luthor warned us about your type, and Brooklyn listened!" The man turned to the Squad as he pointed at them. "Passed strict laws preventing vigilante justice! Laws designed to protect us from exactly this kind of mayhem!"

"Mr. Mayor, you're making a mistake," Maguire said to the mayor.

"Sheriff, if you value your badge, you'll arrest them!"

Admitting defeat, Sheriff Maguire handcuffs Beast Boy as Gaby, Antonia, and Tommi all take pictures with their phones. Beast Boy orders his Team not to resist who all hold out their arms as well.

A few minutes went by before the large warship started to fly over and fire on the town.

"Get to cover!" Beetle yelled as everyone got behind the small ships. "Scarab said it's locked on us but it won't target Reach tech. And it's reacting to a distress signal"

"We didn't do it! We didn't know the ships had them! Call in the League!" Whisper yelled as the Mayor shook his head.

"No need, I called in the United States Air Force!" He pointed up at two jets that flew and shot at the warship.

Only for them to get shot with large beams and disintegrate. The Mayor still refused to call in the League even after the Outsiders explained the best-case scenario is the Military blows up the ship having it crash into the town.

"Squad, jailbreak!" Beast Boy said transforming into a bird as the others used their powers to break or phased out of their cuffs and flew up to the ship.

Gotham City, Naruto's Penthouse December 07, 23:05 EST.

CRACK!

Lightning cracked as Naruto was in Violet's and Tara's room with Steph before Lian ran in and up to Naruto crying. "Baby girl, it's alright," Naruto said, picking his daughter up as he saw his other wives comforting their kids. "Daddy's here. I won't let anything happen to you."

Lian sniffed as snot came out of her nose and tears ran down her face. Naruto bounced her in his arms as Tara looked on, and remembered climbing into her parent's bed when she was younger.

CRACK!

Lian flinched as Violet hid under the sheets of her bed. Naruto shushed Lian as he continued to rock her and held her against his chest and rubbed her back. "It's OK, it's OK."

Brooklyn Main December 07, 23:09 EST.

The Team boards the Reach warship and Beetle begins to deactivate the ship just as a warning is set off announcing the approach of Air Force fighter jets.

"I can cut the warship's weaponry, but only by deactivating the engines, which would cause the ship to land on the town."

"Then turn the ship around to land safely outside of the town." Beast Boy orders Beetle who turns the ship and lands it in the lake at a nearby park in a frozen lake.

Aquaman and all the Brooklyn residents arrive at the edge of a lake just in time to see the Team exit the warship safe and sound. In the sky, the fighter jets turn and head back to their base. Gaby, Antonia, and Tommi all cheer as Aquaman smiles.

The Squad walked up to Maguire who shook his head. "That won't be necessary."

"What? Why not? They broke the law!" The Mayor yelled as Maguire turned and quotes the Good Samaritan Law.

"They did more good than harm. They're free to go."

"So if you're not the Young Justice, who are you?" Gabby asked as she and the gilts walked up to the Team.

"We're something new… Here to help people. We don't answer to bureaucrats, and bad guys try to twist what we do into crimes against the system. Those types can get on board, or get out of the way!" Beast Boy explained.

"Sounds like a revolution!"

"Maybe, we're definitely not playing by the insiders' rules… We can't! We are all Outsiders!" Beast Boy exclaimed as Gaby posted the video with a hashtag.

#WeAreAllOusiders

Gotham City; Naruto's Penthouse December 07, 23:25 EST.

Stephanie takes one last look at Gaby's photo before closing her laptop. Violet is sleeping beside her. As she left, Tara opened her eyes from her bed and picked up her phone before typing.

Outsiders part of Team & League. Your orders?

A few moments went by before she saw a response.

Relax, your time will come.

Gotham City December 08, 00:01 EST.

Aquaman is meeting in the Batcave with Batman's team and Wonder Woman. He explains to them that he received a tip, last week, from Lagoon Boy about the lost Reach warship being salvaged by Intergang. He explains that they did a raid and shut down Intergang's operation, but not before Whisper and her team escaped with the three War Bugs.

Miss Martian then explains that they found out that Whisper was planning on selling the ships at a black-market auction. But first, they wanted to test them out in Brooklyn. She explains that Aquaman showed up to throw the fight until Gar and his Team could get there. And that Nobody expected the warship to launch as well, but they all believe that Gar and his Team did well.

Miss Martian then brings up all sorts of posts showing how far the Outsiders popularity has reached.

"As their leader and supervisor, should Beast Boy or Kage be included among us?" Aquaman asked Miss Martian who sighed.

"No, I don't think Garfield's ready for this, and I don't think Naruto would do it. They have their own mission."

"Which is most promising, for our mission as well," Aquaman said crossing his arms.

To Be Continued.


A/N: Thanks for reading and let me know of any mistakes.

Beta: Jebest4781 and Chaos-PSD.

1. I, of course, saved them in the original story by having Naruto download their A.I into new bodies after melting Red Volcano.

IDK when my other stories will be updated as I have a huge writer's block on my USM story and waiting for Beta on my anime/RWBY stories The next Ch. for this story might be late as well since 2 weeks go by and I'm going to try and at least have stuff happen during that two-weeks and of course a little stuck on what to do for it.

Nothing else to say.

Talk To You Later,

Lone Wolf Out.
