Naruto x Young Justice fanfiction

Authors notes

Hey guys and welcome to the third instalment of this story

Thank u guys for the kind reviews and right now I don't really have anything major to explain about the story concerning the reviews

But I did want to clarify something that came up when I was writing this chapter

I was looking through the young justice wiki fandom and the list of chapters and the order of chapters are different of what I remember them being so when I was figuring the story I did it non in the real order of the chapters but in what I remembered

What does this mean, it means that I will play with the order of the chapters of season 1 of young justice, trust me this is so the story can make sense and that shit

This is mainly for the guys that keep up and know which chapter goes first and shit

I won't say what chapters I'm going to move so I don't spoil the story but I am warning you so you don't get surprise by this fact.

Well, that was all I had to say with that in mind enjoy the new chapter

Chapter 3: The first day of the rest of your life

"This fucking place again" Nate thought as he stood up "It's been a while since I came here"

As he stood up a drop of rain fall on his face making him look up seeing a storm brewing in the sky but what stood out was that the sky didn't have its normal blue color or even its greyish color that sometimes it took when there was a storm, no this sky was blood red as rec clouds gathering and Nate could see thunders in those clouds.

He looks down as he saw mist forming around his legs reaching his knees as he bent down to touch the floor, he felt water in the floor which reached his ankles, he stood up again and look towards the horizon.

There in the outskirts of where Nate was located stood a massive and imposing 50 meters long castle whit a bigger tower in the middle, he couldn't distinguish anything more as he was to far and he couldn't move so for now he could only distinguish the height and not the details.

"Every time I look at it, it takes my breath away" A voice behind Nate said as he heard footsteps approaching him "Such a great piece architecture" the voice said as he stood next to Nate.

Nate saw the voice stepped into his vision and saw the man he used to be, a man dress in black soldier armor and with knives on his pants and as he looked at the voice's face, he saw his same face staring at him but what was different was the eyes, the dull dead eyes he got when ever he was being controlled to do a mission, he hated those eyes.

"Hello Naruto" The voice said causing Nate to focus on what it was saying "No you change that didn't you? You go by a different name now, don't you? What was it again? Nathaniel?" The voice said with amusement on his voice

"Nate, I go by Nate" Nate replied as he turns to looked at the castle

"Huh, and why is that?" The voice asks as it too turn to look at the castle

"I needed to lay low, and Naruto isn't a common name in Gotham, Nate on the other hand, could blend easily" Nate said as he sighs remembering the first days after the doctor save him.

"How very resourceful of you" the voice said chuckling while keeping the same dull eyes.

"Why did you bring me here?" Nate said as he turns to look at the voice with a serious look "It's been a year since I came here why now?"

"Me? You think I brought you here?" The voice said in a mock shock voice "while I can manipulate certain things around here, like making us more comfortable" he said as he created two chairs as he sat on the one closes to him and order Nate two sit on the other chair "But I do not hold any power over you, I don't know why you are here, something new happen?" he asked in fake curiosity

"I joined this group of aspiring heroes a week ago, other than that nothing changed" Nate said as he took a sit at the remaining chair.

"So, you're chasing our forgotten dream, aren't you?" The voice asked

"No, I'm chasing the people that took that away from us" Nate replied in an angry voice

"Ah yes, the higher fuckers you called them" The voice said, "And you believed this people can help you?" The voice asked

"As I said it's been a year, and I haven't found anything" Nate said as he leaned back on the chair "The only lead I had was Cadmus and that went to shit, that doctor's tablet didn't have anything, I figure that by joining this team somehow I'll find a new lead"

"Clever, so you're just using them to find those bastards?" the voice asks in curiosity

"No!" Nate exclaimed in anger "I am not, these are good people I like them, and I don't trust the league to keep them safe from those fuckers"

"And you will?" the voice continued asking

"Yes!" Nate shouted "I-I don't know, I thought at least I'll could keep an eye on them, with the stunt they pulled on Cadmus, they will know who they are"

"Indeed, the will" The voice replied in affirmation of Nate's comments "but they won't act so quickly, they are patient men playing the long game Nate, for now those kids are safe"

"Yeah, I know" Nate said with a sigh

"So, tell me and don't lie" the voice said as he leaned forward "Why did you stayed?" the voice asked making emphasis on the word did

"Because of Cadmus" Nate said which caused the voice to raise an eyebrow "I never liked fighting, well when I was fighting I wasn't in control so I couldn't feel anything, but I hated it, every single mission, I hated what I did, what my fist did and what my kicks did in every single mission, and then I got saved and started fighting in Gotham protecting nameless civilians but I still hated it." Nate said as he took a breath to continue talking "but when I was fighting blockbuster with the guys, I was having fun" he said with a small smiled "I didn't know why but for the first time in my life I didn't hate myself. That's why I decided to join them" Nate said as he looks towards his look at like in conviction.

"That's good" The voice said leaning back to the chair "But, you don't trust them"

"Huh?" Nate said in confusion

"You don't, you may like them, but you don't trust them." The voice explained

Nate took a few moments before he started talking again "You're right" he said "But you can't judge me, the last time we trusted someone it didn't end well for us"

"I'm not, don't worry" The voice said looking at the eyes of Nate "Trust is earned not given we learned that in our little adventures, but if you want to find those bastards and more importantly protect those kids, you'll have to start trusting them at some point"

"Maybe I will, but not right now" Nate said

"I hope you do for both of our stakes" The voices said as he looked towards the castle "Something big is coming, I do not know what or when, but something is going to change you need to prepare yourself"

"What makes you said that?" Nate asked in curiosity

"Look at the castle" The voice said making Nate look at the castle "See how now we can see some windows and doors of it and now we can se a gate slowly open itself"

Nate nodded as he saw some broken windows on the castle and an enormous gate cracking itself open "Yeah but what does that have to do whit why you said?" Nate asked not knowing the point of this.

"Don't you see?" The voice said with a sparkle on his dead eyes "Either the castle is getting closer to us o we are moving towards it"

Nate look at his counterpart in shock as he realizes what the voice said was correct the castle was getting closer

"It leads me to believe that something is going to happen when we reach the gates, I don't know what but it's going to be big" the voice said as a thunder sounded in the sky making him look up "Its time for you to wake up, remember Nate, remember what our trainer used to say, only when we protect the people we love its when we become our strongest self"

"Wait" Nate said noticing his figure fading out of existence slowly "What does all of these means? I don't understand"

"Neither do I Nate" The voice said standing up "But I hope we figure it out on time, I shall be expecting you soon"

"Wait!" Nate shouted throwing his arm forward fading out of the world.

The voice then looked at the castle and spoked out "I'm sorry Nate I lied, I know what exactly is happening, but you wouldn't believed me, not now at least, I still don't believe it myself" he said as he looked at where Nate was just moments ago "I only hope you be ready for it" the voice said disappearing from the world

Mount Justice Nate's room

Nate suddenly woke up and it took him a few seconds catch his breath and figure where he was, as he got up, he managed to get his breathing under control as he did that, he looked at the mirror in his room he saw his eyes turning purple for a moment as he blinked returning them to his usual bright blue

"The fuck?" he thought as he stared at his reflexion for a moment to see if his eyes changed color again, but nothing happen "Great I'm going crazy and seeing shit, lets fuckin go" he thought as he gout out his bed heading to the bathroom to wash himself up, as he let the water run down on the hand sink, he processed everything he just dreamed

"I shouldn't think too much on this, I don't even know what that was, and it only makes my head hurt" he thought as he poured water in his faced turning the water off "I should probably get some exercise done before Megan or Sups wake up" he thought as he put a grey tank top and some red shorts as he headed out of the bathroom he brought some black Jordan's out of his closet and sit down on his bed to put them on as he took some air pods from his night stand and also his new cellphone courtesy of the league "I guess working for the league has its perks" he thought in amusement as he stared at the phone.

He took the air pods and the phone and tuck them in his right pocket as he got out of his room. He started walking towards the gym admiring the hallways and the mountain rocks "This is way better than my apartment that's for sure" he thought as he enters the hallway leading to the gym and saw a camera on the wall "Although, they sure as hell don't know the meaning of privacy" he thought as he smiled at the camara before he entered the gym.

As he entered the gym he whistles in appreciation "Were moving up on the chain Nate, we are moving indeed" he thought as he saw a brand-new state of the art machines, there were treadmills and bikes for cardio, some weights and machines that could hold up to a thousand kilos.

Only he had used the gym as Superboy with his genetics didn't need to work out and Megan refuse to do so saying that her species didn't need to work out to stay fit so for now Nate had the gym all for himself which he planned to take full advantage of the place, as he puts his air pods on his ears, then he turn on the morning news of central city.

"Hello ad good morning" he heard on his air pods as he started to get up the treadmill "This is Iris West coming at you live with your daily news "

"In recent news Gotham's crime is still increasing every day reaching an astonishing 20 robberies per 25 stores, armed shootouts happen every day in the city streets and the rate of people are being murder is reaching at concerning number, Mayor Gordon spoke to the people this morning concerning these topics"

"People of Gotham" Mayor Gordon said as he stepped up into the podium in the city hall of Gotham "We are going through a rough time these past few days but I guarantee you that our office and also the Gotham city police are working together to bring down these concerning times I beg of you to be patient and look out for yourself as you rummage the streets" he said as the program turn back to Iris.

"You heard him guys" Iris said as the camera focus on her "keep yourselves save and don't go alone at night, in other news in Metropolis city Lex Corp reached an accord with Palmer industries saying that they will now share their technology with Bayla so they can help them built new city plazas"

"And in star city a gang was arrested yesterday as Speedy, green arrow's former partner stopped an illegal business transaction where the criminal brick was apprehended, the former Green arrow's protégé didn't offer any comments on why he wasn't working any more with his mentor, it makes me wonder if he still doing these things under the leagues watch or are we witnessing the forming of a new vigilante" Iris said as she looked at the camara in concern "That's all for now, we have to take a break and when we return we will look at the situation of North and South Rhelasia as the summit between both leaders is soon approaching:"

Nate grab a towel as he finishes his morning workout noticing the news going into a commercial break so he decided to turn off his phone as he put it on his pocket along with his air pods as he prepared to leave the gym "Mayor Gordon should know by now there's no stopping Gotham's crime" he thought as he proceeded to leave the gym "Every time I do these workouts makes me hungry I should go and grab something to eat" he thought as he headed towards the kitchen.

As he neared the kitchen the sweet smell of pancakes enters his nostrils and as he enters the kitchen, he saw a red headed figure cooking something which by the smell he could figure what.

"Megan?" Nate asked as Megan turn around in surprise but calmed down when she saw her friend's face "What are you doing?"

"Oh, hi Nate" Megan said as she turned around "I'm trying Grammy Jone's recipe from episode 6"

"Grammy Jone's?" Nate ask in confusion as he took a sit at the kitchen table "Isn't that a cooking show here on earth?"

"Yeah, I used to watch it a lot on mars" Megan said as she flipped the pancake.

"Huh, how does that work?" Nate said

"My uncle used to talk to many things of earth and then h brought me the recordings of the shows for me to watch" Megan said as she took the last pancake from the pan and put it on the plate where all the pancakes were as she levitate the plate towards the table and took a sit in front of Nate

"That's a pretty good trick" Nate said as he saw the pancakes arriving at the table and an empty plate and a fork and knife arriving in front of him

"Thanks" Megan said as she saw Nate grabbing one pancake "Please tell me what you think"

"Sure" Nate said as he put butter and honey on the pancake and he cut a piece and eat it he chews tasting the piece of pancake "Holy shit" he said as he swallow the pancake as Megan looked at him in concerned thinking he didn't like it "This has to be on the best pancakes I ever had, you sure this is your first time preparing these?" Nate asked as a big smile formed in Megan's face

"Really!?" Megan asked in full cheerfulness "I'm so glad you liked it" she said as she took a pancake for herself

"Yeah, I mean if this superhero thing doesn't work for you, you could make a career as a chef" Nate said which drew a laugh from Megan

"Morin'" a tired voice said from the hallway revealing Superboy who looked as he just woke up

"Morning sunshine" Nate said as he took a bite of his pancake which caused Superboy to growl at his comments "Did the pancakes woke you up?" he asked as he saw Superboy sit at the table greeting Megan in the process

"Maybe" Superboy growled out as he took a pancake and started eating it "These are good" he said as Megan smiled and continue eating

They finish their breakfast in silence as Nate offer himself to wash the dishes as started to wash the dishes he started speaking again

"Did the guys told you what they were up to yesterday?" Nate asked as he scrubbed the firs plate not looking at the other two people in the room

Superboy shook his head as he didn't know but Megan on the other hand, she knew so she started explaining Nate what the remaining proteges were doing the day before.

"Aqualad told me they were trying to get their friend Speedy to join the team" Megan said from the table as Superboy looked at her in confusion

"Really?" Superboy asked her as Nate look at the plates in deep thought "Did it worked?" he asked

"I don't know, I haven't spoke to any of the guys since then, they don't come here much" Megan said with a sigh

"It won't work" Nate said as he finished washing the dishes causing to bring the attention of the other guys to him

"What do you mean?" Megan asked Nate as he cleaned his hands

"I know his type" Nate said as he dries his hands in a towel "Short sighted people, who think the world owns them something". He said as sat on the table. "I don't trust their types, and he still will be sore from what happened at the hall so I don't think he would want to work under the league watch any time soon or ever for the matter"

Superboy and Megan look at the table in thought, but they were interrupted by Nate who stood up and walked towards the exit of the kitchen

"I'm going to take a shower, sorry for bringing you down with my comments" Nate said as Megan and Superboy shook their heads saying it was fine "Promise something, don't tell the guys about this would you? They don't need to get their hopes down so soon you know" he said as he saw Megan and Superboy nod their heads.

Nate headed for the exit but stopped as he put his hand at the door's frame turning to look "You know in my mind heroes are the people that save other people no matter what, the question here is what type of heroes do you want to be?" Nate said as he looked at the guys exiting the kitchen.

Nate entered his bathroom as he turned the shower, he took a black tank top some black tight jeans some black socks "Simple but effective" he thought as he entered the shower in thought of todays news "The world is turning into shit" he thought as he pours shampoo on his head "I hope this team works, the league is definitely losing their touch" he thought as he finished washing himself turning off the shower and getting out of it.

He dried himself and started to dress himself as he saw his phone ringing and saw the screen showing the contact number "Markus" he thought "Wonder what he wants" he proceeded to answer as he put the phone on his ear

"Markus?" Naruto asked

"Kid I finally reached you" Markus said from the other side of the phone "It's been a while, hasn't it?"

"It's been only a week Markus, miss me that much?" Nate said at which he heard Markus scoffed "How did you even got this number?" Nate asked as he left his bedroom walking towards the living room

"I have my methods" Markus said which caused Nate to scoff now

"Yea no shit, you're methos are know all around underground Gotham" Nate replied in a sarcastic voice

"I'll take that as a compliment then" Markus replied in an amusement voice but turned serious "But I didn't call you for that"

"Yeah, I figure" Nate said as he entered the living room next of the kitchen noticing some cookies baking in the oven "You're not the type of person that does chit-chat or some shit like that. So, what's up?" Nate asked as he sat on one of the couches of the living room

"I been hearing some concerning stuff here in the underground" Markus said as Nate leaned back taking a serious look on his face "The shadows are appearing more often in the borders and if my sources are right, they are messing with some gangs in Gotham"

"The shadows? You know as well as I do the top guys in the underground would sooner turn themselves in before letting the shadows into their territory" Nate said

"Yeah, I know, but whit them moving around of Gotham makes me believe they're preparing for something, and I hate not knowing what" Markus said with a sigh

"I wouldn't concerned myself to much with the shadows" Nate said in amusement "Ever since that fiasco with Gotham and Batman 6 years ago they have lost what it means to be unnoticeable. I mean for an organization that prize themselves for working in the dark they sure as hell don't know how to do that, they will reveal themselves before they do anything, and in the underground that's a death sentence"

"Yeah, you're right" Markus said with a chuckle "I'll probably let that stuff to the big bosses"

"But you didn't call me to talk about the shadows, did you?" Nate asked knowing his friend wouldn't call him for something he could handle himself

"Yeah, I called you for something else" Markus said as Nate hear a door opening and closing in the background "Do you know what Mk204 is?"

"Yes, is the metahuman drug that runs around in the streets of Metropolis, isn't it?" Nate said, "Lets you access your metagene for a few minutes or some shit like that, don't tell me its on the underground?" he asked in concerned knowing what that drug could cause in that place.

"No, it hasn't the big ones don't like when something that isn't from Gotham enters their streets" Markus said

"So then, what's making you concerned?" Nate asked as the smell of fresh cookies invaded his nostrils noticing that the cookies that where in the oven were done already as he headed to take them out before they burn

"Well, what you may not know its that Mk204 had a predecessor that was used a lot in these streets" Markus said as Nate took out the cookies and grabbed one as he started eating it "They called it shimmer because of its pinkish glow"

"Shimmer?" Nate asked as he finish his cookie "I've never heard of it"

"Yeah, you're a recent addition to the underground so I don't expect you to know stuff from 6 years ago" Markus said from the other side of the phone as Nate heard him taking a drag from a cigar "The drug was nasty it let you do amazing stuff don't get me wrong but the side effects where awful your veins started to pop out, you'd become weak and falling in the streets not being able to walk and your eyes, that's how every one new you where taking it, your eye's iris became pink with black eyeballs surrounding them, that's when you knew you were fucked."

Nate stood there in shock at the comments of Markus, these comments had brought a memory to Nate's head

"Nate you there?" Markus asked bringing Nate back to the real world as he didn't answer for a moment "You alright?"

"Yeah, it's just that I used to know someone that was addicted to that drug" Nate said remembering his childhood.

"Shit" Markus dragged out knowing what sort of things seeing a shimmer addict could do to someone "Who?" he asked in concern

"My father" Nate said in a sad voice remembering the fond memories he had with that man "I remember how one day he came at night and woke me up saying that everything was going to be alright, what stood out to me was that his eyes were glowing in a pink color, that's the last time I ever saw him"

"Shit kid, I'm sorry" Markus said with a sad voice "Anyhow, some guys told me that they saw people with bright pink eyes in the outskirts of the underground, that's all I know, and it has me concern"

"It's okay I got over it" Nate said as he heard footsteps approaching the living room "I'll research one my own see what I can find in the league database, keep me posted on what you find please"

"Will do kid, be safe" Markus said as Nate heard him enter the bar again from the other line "Talk to you later kid"

"Yeah, see you later old man" Nate said as he hangs up hearing the footsteps closer now, turning to his right he saw Megan flying into the kitchen followed closely by Robin, Kid flash and Aqualad as Superboy hanged a little bit farther from them

"And this is the kitchen which its connected to the living room for us to eat" Megan said noticing Nate in the living room looking at them curiously "Hi Nate" she said

"Hey guys" Nate asked from the couch as he put an arm on the top of the couch "The hell are you guys doing?"

"We're having a tour around the base" Megan said cheerfully causing Nate to raise an eyebrow as he looked at Aqualad

"We wanted a mission from red tornado, but he said no, so were doing this as a team bonding exercise" Aqualad said as the other guys nodded at his comments, Nate saw Kid flash devouring in a blink of an eye the rest of the cookies in disgust

"Isn't batman in charge of the missions?" Nate wonder out loud

"That's what Tornado said!" Robin exclaimed in a loud voice

"But we thought that maybe he could give us something to do" Kid flash continued as he finished the last cookie in the tray

"Huh, making the league break protocol, how bold of you guys" Nate said with a chuckle "Hey kid leave some for the rest of them"

Nate said as he saw kid leaving no trace of the cookies making Robin and Aqualad chuckle at the sight of kid flash

"Hey, I have a serious metabolism" Kid flash said in mock anger at Nate making Nate laugh

"Don't worry guys, I'll make more" Megan said in a happy voice appreciating the fact that someone liked her cooking

"That was sweet of you" Aqualad told her

"Thanks, Aqualad" she replied embarrassed

"We're off duty, please call me Kaldur'ahm." He insisted "In fact my friends call me Kaldur if that works better for you"

"I'm Wally" kid flash speaks up as he leaned on the table "See? I already trust you with my secret identity unlike Mr. Dark glasses over there" he said making Robin glare at him for the comment "Batman forbid Boy wonder here to reveal his real name"

"You can call me Nate I don't really have a hero name to be honest" Nate said from the couch as he looks at the guys in the kitchen

"Well, mine's no secret" Megan said bringing the attention of the guys to her "Its M'gann M'orzz, but you can call me Megan it's an earth name, because I'm on earth now".

Nate saw Superboy heading towards the kitchen's exit looking bored at the conversation and as he saw him nearing the exit, he saw his figure tense and looked towards Megan in shock and fear as making Nate wonder what was going on

"Get out of my head!" Superboy shouted bringing the attention of the remaining guys to him as they looked at him in confusion

"What's wrong? I don't understand" Nate heard Megan talking on his head and the sensation invaded him forcefully making him grab his head in pain. He saw the other guys doing the same making him realize that the others heard her to "Everyone on mars talks telepathically" she continued speaking on the guy's heads.

"Megan stops" Kaldur order making her stop as she looks at the guys in concern "Things are differently her on earth, what you did is consider an extreme invasion of privacy"

"Besides" Wally intervenes trying to lighten the mood "Cadmus creepy gnomes left him a bad taste on his brain" he said putting his hand over his mouth trying to keep Superboy from hearing these comments

"You alright Nate?" Robin asked as he saw Nate still rubbing his head with his fingers

"Yeah, she just took me by surprise that's all" he said throwing Megan a reassuring smile but didn't work as she still looked slightly depressed.

"I-I didn't mean to-" Megan tried to apologies but was cut off by Superboy

"Just stay out" here growled as he took a sit next to Nate and cross his arms in anger

There where a few seconds of awkward silence which was cut off by Megan speaking "Hello Megan!" She exclaimed as she hits the to of her head with her hand "I know what we can do" she said as she flew into the hallway being followed by Kaldur, Wally and Robin

"You alright?" Nate asked the boy next to him who nodded "Come on, she messed up don't hold her against her, lets go look what she wants" he said as he stood up feeling his right pocket to feel if his pocketknife was there "Just in case" he thought as he felt the knife in his right pocket.

He saw Superboy nodded and stood up as both headed into the hallway noticing Megan flying towards them, she saw them and smile and Nate notice Superboy look at the floor in embarrassment causing Nate to smile in amusement.

They arrived at the base hangar and in the middle of it was a big red egg-shaped thing, Nate looked at in confusion as he turns towards Megan as she started talking

"This is my Martian Bioship" she said as she pointed at the egg-shaped thing

"Cute" Wally spoke out in amusement "Not very aerodynamic, but cute".

"Its asleep silly, I'll wake it up" she said as she makes a waving motion as the egg-shaped thing started to change into a big red spaceship and Megan wave her hand again making the spaceship turn around as a gate open in the ship generating stairs for them to get in "Well, are you coming?" she asked as the guys could only stared in shock at what just happened.

They enter the ship nervously into the ship as the approached the front of the ship revealing one chair in the middle one two chairs next to it and three chairs in front of them.

Wally and robin jumped and sat in the chairs next to the captain's chair as Nate took the one in front of Wally's and Superboy took the one in front Robin's leaving the one in the middle for Kaldur.

As everybody sat on the chairs out of nowhere seatbelts appear strapping the guys in the chairs as Megan took the captain's chair which cause the appearance of two pillars connected to two big spheres, this was the ships wheel for Megan to navigate the ship.

"Red tornado please open the hangar bay doors" Megan said as she strapped into the captain chair putting her hands above making the ship float.

Nate saw the bay doors open as the ship started to levitate and as soon as the doors finish opening the ship took off making Nate fall back a little bit until the ship stabilize itself on the air, Nate run his hand on the chair feeling the texture in amazement as he ignored the conversation between Megan, Robin, and Wally.

"I may not have psychic powers, but I can guess what you are thinking" the voice of Aqualad brought him back as he turns and saw Aqualad talking to Superboy "You overreacted, and you don't know how to apologize. In my experience just saying sorry works" he said

"He is right you know" Nate said as he leans towards the guys "Talking works trust me" he said as Superboy looked at the floor in deep thought as he nodded and looked at the views outside, he then hears kid flash talking but couldn't distinguish what he was saying but by the tensing figure of Superboy he knew Superboy could.

"Hey, can you show us some shapeshift stuff?" Robin asked Megan trying to change the topic as Megan stood up drawing the attention of the guys in the front. She put her arms down as her clothes started to change and her skin and her hair started to change also, revealing a feminine looking Robin in costume she then saw Wally smile which make her smirk as she changed into a feminine looking Kid flash in costume.

"Is it weird that I think I'm hot?" Wally asked as he stared at his feminine look a like

"Yes" Nate deadpans as Wally dropped his head in shame as Megan turn back to her original form

"Impressive" Robin said looking at Megan "But you're not exactly fooling anyone with those"

"Mimicking boys is a little hard for me" Megan said embarrassed

"And your clothes?" Aqualad asked since he saw how the clothes of Megan changed too earlier

"They are the same material of the ship" Megan sad as she grabbed the top of her clothes stretching them "Organic I mean, they respond to my mental commands"

"As long they are the only ones" Superboy said angrily still looking outside

"Can you do the ghosting through walls thing that Manhunter does?" Wally asked trying to lighten the mood

"Density shifting?" Megan asked although a smile didn't appear on her face as the comments from Superboy still affected her, Nate noticed this and shook his head in disapproval "No, it's a very advanced technique…"

Robin leans forward as he started to speak "Flash can vibrate his molecules right through a wall" he chuckles as he pointed at Wally "When he tries it, bloody nose" he said causing Wally to turn red in embarrassment

"Dude!" Wally exclaimed in anger as Nate tried his best not to laugh as he chuckles slightly at the sight of Wally

"Here's something I can do" Megan said helping Wally get out of his embarrassment "Camouflage mode" she said as the ship started to turn invisible to the naked eye

Before anyone could speak about what just happen a voice sounded on the ship "Red Tornado to the team. An alert has been triggered at the Happy Harbor power plant, I suggest you go and investigate it covertly, sending you the coordinates" he said as Megan nodded

"Received, adjusting course" Megan said as the spheres glow for a moment turning the ship to the right.

"Great" Robin spoke up sarcastically "Tornado is keeping us busy again"

"Well," Megan said optimistically "A simple fire led you to Superboy. Wonder what this might bring" she said

"I think I know what" Superboy replied as he looks outside looking at a tornado that was heading towards them. Megan tried to swerve around the tornado but couldn't dodge it fully, so the ship entered the tornado making the ship spin around causing the teenagers to grab their sits in panic as Megan pulled the ship out of the tornado.

"I think we can all agree to never try that again, right?" Nate asked as the others nodded as Megan parked the ship in front of the factory as the teenagers exit the sip.

"Robin are tornados common in New England?" Aqualad asked Robin as soon as the exited the ship but wasn't meet with a response only when he turned around, he notices robin wasn't there as he heard a childish laugh on the background

"I got to ask him to teach me that" Nate replied as he run towards the factory followed closely by Superboy

As soon as Nate and Superboy enter the factory they saw Robin being thrown into a pilar by a mini tornado as they saw a big red figure with blue tubes on his back and arms and big black hands and a brown scarf creating the tornados.

"Who is your new friend? Superboy askes as Nate helped Robin get up

"Didn't catch his name" Robin said as he nodded at Nate thank him for the help "But he plays kind of rough"

"The good type or the bad type of rough?" Nate asked him

"The bad type" Robin replied as he got ready to attack again not really knowing what Nate was talking about.

"Why can it never be the good type?" Nate asked under his breath as he stared at the bad guy grabbing an explosive from Robin without anyone notice him.

"Apologies" the exoskeleton looking guy said addressing the teenagers as he saw three more of them arriving the scene "You can address me as Mr. Twister" the bad guy commented.

He then started to create a wall of air as he saw Superboy approaching him, Superboy manage too travel a few meters before he was thrown into a nearby wall making a dent in the wall. Nate run towards the bad guy pulling his pocketknife as he came with an idea on how to approach Mr. Twister "I have to watch for when the gloves turn blue" he thought as he saw the right glove of Mr. twister glow ducking to the floor as he planted the knife on the left glove as he twisted his body throwing a mighty kick at the side of the face of Mr. Twister

"Impressive" Th bad guy said in a monotone voice that froze Nate in his tracks "But not good enough" he said as a mini tornado lift Nate up and throwing away a lot of meters into the woods as some doors were open in the factory. Nate rolled trying to embrace and reduce the impact as he crashed into some threes on his side bruising his ribs and cutting his right side of the forehead slightly as blood started to fall on his right side of the face.

He stood there for a few moments checking mentally if anything was severely damage, he sat up leaning against the tree wincing slight at his hurt side as he run a hand toward his right side of his face noticing the blood falling to his chin.

"Why do this always happen to me?" he spoke out loud "Yeah throw the guy with impenetrable skin at the wall but the guy with a knife throws him out of existence, I fucking hate bad guys" he said as he got up and headed out of the woods.

As he neared the end of the forest he saw Robin, Wally and Kaldur approach Mr. Twister "What the fuck are they doing?" he thought as he saw how the teens were confronting Mr. Twister angrily, that gave him an idea "I'm sorry guys I'll have to use you as bait" he thought as he bent down and put the sticky explosive of Robin at the end of his pocket knife "Its been a nice ride little buddy but it ends here" he said to his knife as he prepared to run waiting for the right time to strike "And I'm talking to my knife, great, no more hits to the head Nate or I'll go insane" he thought as he saw his chance and run towards Mr. Twister

He approached a striking distance as Mr. Twister turn noticing him as he prepares to launch him again but that was all Nate needed as he ducks und planting the knife on the arm of the robot as he pressed the explosive and took a few steps back.

"I thought I got reed of you" Mr. Twister said not noticing the beeping sound coming out of his arm as he was focused on the arriving teen "It doesn't matter you'll face the same fate as these other guys" he said as he started to generate lighting on its arms "Any last words?"

"Yeah, just one" Nate said as he smirked at the robot "Boom" he said as Mr. Twister noticed a beeping sound increasing rapidly, the explosive turns on exploding the some of the arm of the robot creating a cloud of smoke.

As the cloud of smoke disperse itself Mr. twister was barely affected by the explosion as the only thing showing the impact was some exposed wires "Fine you kids have some power I'll grant you that" he said as he searched for the teens not finding them. As Megan was protecting them placing the camouflaged ship on top of them "But playing hide-and-seek with you will not help me achieved my objective" he said as he stared right at Nate but he couldn't see him "So I advise you to stay hidden, I will show no mercy if you decide to face me again" he warned them as he took off towards the town of Happy Harbor creating some lighting as to emphasize his point.

Nate sigh as he sat on the floor processing what just happen as Wally took the chance to speak.

"You alright?" Aqualad asked Nate as he saw the blood on his face

"Yeah, I'm fine its nothing" Nate said as he reassured Aqualad

"What happened? Why didn't he see us?" Wally asked trying to figure what just happen

"I put the bioship on top of us" Megan explained

"And that's supposed to make it right?" Superboy shouted in anger as he punched a nearby rock taking his frustration out, Nate saw this which caused his left eyebrow to twitch "You tricked us into thinking Mr. twister was Red Tornado" he continued as he glared at Megan, Nate grabbed the top of his nose in annoyance

"She didn't do it on purpose" Aqualad said trying to calm the situation and even if Nate didn't know what had happened, he knew Megan wouldn't do anything to harm them intentionally.

"I-It was a rookie mistake" Robin agreed "We shouldn't have listened" he finished as Nate look at the faces of the guys "Enough" he said under his breath but went unnoticed as Wally spoke up.

"You're pretty inexperienced" he said as Megan turns at him in shock which caused Wally's head dropped slightly "Hit the showers, will take it from here" he said

"Enough" Nate said a little more forcefully but only Aqualad heard him as the other ones where focus on their conversation not hearing what he said

"Stay out of our way" Superboy said as he passed her preparing to leave to chase Mr. Twister, he was going to but was stopped by angry Nate as the last comments of Superboy made his blood boiled

"ENOUGH!" Nate shouted in anger grabbing the focus of all of the teens who looked at him in shock and slight fear as the sight of him made him look more menacing. "That's enough, the fuck is wrong with you guys?" he asked in anger

The guys looked at him in shocked, but Superboy took an angry look as he spoke to Nate

"She screwed…" he started to say but was interrupted by Nate

"She screwed up boo fucking who" Nate said in anger looking straight at Superboy "For what I gather she thought that that guy was Red Tornado didn't she?" he asked at which everyone nodded "It was a mistake there is no doubt about that Megan" he said causing Megan to dropped her head in shame "But that doesn't give you the right to berate her for that, or what you where fucking perfect on your first missions with your mentors?" he asked the proteges as they shook their heads.

"And you" he said at Superboy as he stood up wincing at the pain on his right side "I want you to calm yourself down and think for a second here" he said as he pointed a Megan "She isn't from earth you fucking idiot, let me get this through your thick headed skull" he said as he had the full attention of everyone present "I don't know how things work at mars but I can guarantee its not the same as here, so I don't know, when Megan met Red tornado she probably tried to read his thoughts right?" he asked the guys as the nodded remembering what happen in the base

"So, know she knows she can read robots thoughts, so when she met Mr. Twister here and couldn't read his thoughts, she thought that he and red tornado where the same, after all she only knows of one red robot who can shoot tornados out of his hands, and why shouldn't she? No one told her otherwise, no one told her that someone could make more Red Tornados, did you?" he asked the guys who dropped their heads

He turned to Megan "You made a mistake" he said bringing the attention of her and the guys to him "We all did in fact, we weren't ready" he said as the proteges looked at him in anger, but he put his hand up stopping any comments from them "We needed to get to know how we work individually first before we tried to go on a mission as a team"

"I don't know why the league has gone radio silence on us both they should've had us doing some teamwork building exercise first so we could trust one another before they throw us at the wolfs" Nate said as a look of understanding took the proteges faces "But now its to late so we'll have to work with what we have. I'll give some advice, so this doesn't happen again got it?" he asked Megan who nodded in affirmation

"How to be a hero 101, rule number 1, if someone or anything is endangering civilians life's you treat them as hostile, you take them down first and ask question later" Nate said as Megan nodded taking the advice to heart "Even if you where right and that was tornado o the guys mentors in disguised, we prioritize the civilians first, remember what I told you in the morning?" he asked Megan as she nodded

"A hero is someone who saves lives no matter what" Megan said reciting what Nate had told her and Superboy in the morning

"That is some wise words" Aqualad said as Robin and Wally nodded

"Sorry I yelled at you" Superboy said as he looked at the floor in embarrassment "Here and at the cave earlier"

"Don't worry about it" Megan replied with a smile on her face

Nate smile at the guys and nodded "Good, now that we are all the same plan, I have an idea on how we could defeat mister copycat" Nate said as they teens turn serious and had their full attention on him "I always hate when fans don't get to meet their heroes" Nate said with a smirk as he nodded towards the ship ordering to enter the ship.

As they entered the front of the ship in the same seats, they had earlier Nate asked at Megan if she had the location of Mr. twister, Megan turned the computer on as she tracked the location of the bad guy and when se had it she nodded to Nate.

"Good, so here's my plan" Nate said as he leaned forward "We drop Aqualad at the ocean with ship on camouflage as me and the remaining guys grab the attention of Mr. twister, we don't need to defeat him there, Megan you will key for that later"

"I will?" she asked in shock

"Yes, we will make him think we couldn't defeat him and then you arrive in disguised as Red Tornado, you will have his full attention there and I don't know what he wants from him, but there is going to be a moment where he lets his guard down, that's when you Superboy punch him throwing him into the water, which should allow Aqualad to fry its cables making him useless"

The guys and girl nodded as they all got ready for the incoming battle

"Let's kick some ass, shall we?" Nate said as he saw Happy Harbor town being destroy by some mini tornados "Lets kick some fucking ass"

The flew near the ocean as Aqualad dropped preparing for thew plan to work as Megan flew the ship back into the edge of town as the guy's minus Megan got out of the ship as they prepared to face Mr. Twister

They approach Mr. Twister as they came face to face at him, the robot turned as he notice the young heroes enter his line of vision

"I told you what will happen if I saw you again" Mr. Twister said as he faces the young heroes

As soon as he finished Superboy took off with a jump as he attacks the bad guy but Mr. .twister grabbed a boat with a mini tornado and threw it at the falling Superboy meeting him in mid air as he was thrown a few meters away.

Mr. twister couldn't stare to long at Superboy as he saw a blond teenager approaching him. Nate managed to get in a striking distance without getting noticed as he jumped and landed a flying kick at the right side of the robot's face, he saw a left hook coming towards him, he dodges as he threw a right punch at the stomach of the villain, but Mr. Twister wasn't affected by it as he grabbed the left arm of Nate.

"Oh shit" Nate said as Mr. twister grabbed his arm and threw him at a nearby building as he rolled trying to reduce the movement as he slowed down before he came crashing at the walls preventing further damage "No one ever told me this hero thing was going to hurt so much" he said as he rubbed his back, he then saw Robin and Kid flash hiding behind a rock arguing about something as Superboy fight the villain.

He approaches the scene but stopped as he saw red figure entering the scene coming face to face at Mr. Twister.

"Hit the showers boy's, I'll take it from here" Red tornado said as he landed on the ground "I thought you could handle this but clearly I was mistaken"

"But we got a plan now" Robin protested as the other guys stand in the back of the android agreeing with Robin.

"This is subject is not up for debate" he said in a monotone voice as the guys dropped der head and spread out preparing to leave.

""I was beginning to think you'd never show up" Mr. Twister mock Red Tornado

"I'm here now" Red tornado replied as he put his arms back and forward creating a mini tornado but was met with a mini tornado from Mr. twister as they both cancel each other.

Mr. Twister send another tornado towards the league's hero, but Red Tornado disperse it with one of his owns as he put his guard up preparing for another attack.

"We're evenly match twister" Red tornado said as he put his hands back creating a mini tornado and sending it forward to the villain as Mr. twister disperse it with one of his tornados evading the attack.

"No, we are not" he emphasis as he punches a nearby rock creating an air pressure which he grabbed and threw it at Tornado generating lighting in the process, Red Tornado evaded the attack, but twister wasn't aiming at him, he aimed at a nearby boat creating an explosion which caught Red Tornado as he started spasming and turning off from the impact.

Mr. twister approached the fallen hero as he brought his hand up "Stand till android" he said as red treadmills came out of his fingers connecting to the head of the hero "The reprogramming process won't take long"

Red tornado woke up and grab the treadmills as a feminine voice replied to the comments of the villain "Longer that you might think" Megan said as she changed the head of Red Tornado too her own in an instant as she threw him away with her telekinesis ripping the treadmills in the process.

The villain could only look at the girl in shock as he was thrown into the air as a mini tornado met him causing him to stop and redirect him into a waiting Nate, he saw that the tornado stopped revealing the figure of Kid flash as he was creating the tornados by moving in circles really fast.

Nate saw the villain heading towards him as he grabbed the arm of Mr. Twister and flipped him into the floor causing him to bounce as Nate did a 360-spin kicking the side of the villain with all his might throwing him into Superboy making a dent in the armor where the kick strook.

Superboy catches the robot by his left arm twisting his arm as he threw three punches into the stomach of the robot making a few holes revealing the cables of the robot as he threw a final punch sending the villain towards the ocean ripping off the left arm in the process.

He fell into the ocean as he saw a dark skin teen approaching him, Aqualad threw a hammer at the villain's stomach as his arms glowed blue sending electricity towards the hammer and into the villain's stomach frying him in the process as the robot rendered useless because of that making an explosion in the process that threw him into the surface again.

Megan grabbed him with her telekinesis in mid air as she ripped his remaining arm and threw him into the floor as Robin jumped into the scene throwing explosives at Mr. Twister's chest which cause him to fall back by the explosion.

As the smoke disperse the robot started to get up, he saw the heroes standing facing him with their guards up prepared for any sort of attack from him.

Nate saw as the red yes of the robot turn of as the machine open up as he saw an old skinny man in a green skintight suit with white in the middle and then Nate saw him falling at the floor.

"Foul, i-I call foul" he said as he looks up towards the teens, Nate was so focused on the old man, so he didn't saw what was going on with Megan until Kaldur spoke out

"Megan no!" Kaldur shouted trying to bring Megan's arms back as he tried to stop her as Megan dragged a big rock on top of the old man as he let it fall on top of him

"Holy shit" Nate exclaimed as he saw the shocked look of the other guys as he was surprised that a bright girl as Megan would be sou ruthless

"What the hell Megan?" Robin asked her in anger "I don't know how things work on mars, but we do not kill people here " Robin said making emphasis on the word kill word

Nate frown at Robin, while he didn't agree with what Megan had done, he knew in some situations killing wasn't off the table "Batman has kept him safe from the horrors of Gotham" he thought as he saw Robin saying those words with full conviction.

"Please Robin, calm down and trust me" Megan said as she lifts the rock revealing that the old man from earlier was a robot as they saw metal parts destroyed instead of blood "That's why I couldn't read his mind" she said as she looked at the broken android

The guys looked at the android and the proteges let a breath out now knowing they hadn't killed anyone, Wally looked at the one of the android's eyes and grabbed it as he spoke

"Cool a souvenir" he said as he looked at the eye.

"We should've trusted you more" Aqualad said as he put his hand on the shoulder of Megan.

"Yeah, you totally rocked this mission" he said as he pointed towards the rock that Megan used to crush the android "Get it? Rocked" he said with a smile

"You're an idiot" Nate deadpan causing Wally to look at him in hurt as he ignored him and look towards the Martian girl "You did a good job" he said as he put his hand sideways on her left shoulder "Welcome to the team" he finished as he put the same hand on her other shoulder mimicking what knights used to do when they knighted other people as Megan smiled brightly at Nate's comments, he turn to Robin "We need to get a ceremonial sword for initiation purposes"

"That's a good idea" Robin said with smirk "I'll talk to batman about that" he said as Nate nodded, then Kaldur took the opportunity to speak up

"For now, let's grab the android and head back to the mountain" he said looking down at the android as the other guys nodded

Back in the cave of Mount Justice the young team had arrived and put the android on the table as Red Tornado was checking it to figure out where it came from

"It was clearly created to sabotage you or destroy you" Aqualad said to Red Tornado as Nate took over

"He said something about reprograming process, so I suggest you watch your back" Nate offer to Re tornado as he leaned on the table where the android was place

"I agree" Red Tornado said as he looks down at the broken android.

"Is that why you didn't help us?" Megan asked Red tornado in curiosity

"No, this was your battle" he explained simply as the remaining guys looked at him "It's not my job neither my role to solve problems for you. Nor should you with my own problems" he said as Megan looked at him shock

"But if you are in danger…" She started to say but was interrupted by Tornado

"Consider this matter closed" he said as he turned to leave the area

"Batman, Flash and Aquaman they all would've jumped right in to fix things" Wally comments out loud as he saw Red Tornado leaving

"I guess if we're going to have a babysitter, a heartless machine exactly what we need" Robin offered at Wally's comments

"Dude!" Wally exclaimed as he hit the arm of Robin with the back of his hand "That's harsh" he said in a whisper

"And also, inaccurate" Red tornado said looking at the teens "I have a heart, made out of carbon steel alloy and I also have excellent hearing" he finished causing the two boys to drop their heads in shame as they heard a laughter coming from behind them

"Busted" Nate said as he laughs at the two embarrass teenagers

"Right sorry" Robin said in shame as he addressed "I'll strive to be more… accurate" he said

"And more respectful" Kaldur said as he grabbed the shoulder of Robin as the boy nodded

Red tornado said nothing as he leaved the room and the young heroes gather around together

"Speedy was so wrong" Wally offered getting out of his embarrassment "This team thing…" he started to say

"Might just work" Kaldur finish for him

"What exactly did he told you guys yesterday?" Nate asked as he saw the proteges in concern "I didn't want to say anything but clearly you were affected by it"

The three proteges look at the floor in deep thought s Robin decided to speak up

"We asked him to join the team, he declined" Robin said as he looked towards Nate who nodded as he digested the information "He told us he didn't want to work under the leagues eye's and called us Justice league junior" he finished as Megan and Superboy eye's winded in surprise as the realized what Nate had told them in the morning was spot on.

Nate nodded as he took a moment to formulate his thoughts "So, that's why you were confronting Mr. Twister outside of the factory because you didn't want to be that did you?" he asked as the proteges nodded

Nate nodded as he was preparing to continue speaking but he looked down at the destroyed android.

"How about we move to the living room? I really don't feel like talking these topics in front of that" he asked as he pointed at the android as the young heroes nodded.

They arrived at the living room as Nate took out a few can sodas giving one to each member he sat next to Aqualad as Robin and Wally took the couch in front of them and Megan and Superboy took the remaining couch

"This is much better" Nate said as the other guys nodded "Right where was I? right the twister thing" he said as he put his feet on the table to address the situation at hand "I already talked about why confronting the bad guy was a bad idea, so I won't talk about that"

"I will say this though" he said as he crossed his feet "In my experience you have to make the best of the things that are given to you" he said as he saw the proteges look at the floor in thought "And even if your friend Speedy was right, which in this case he wasn't, he and no one else cant tell you what to do o what not to do" he said as he looked at Kaldur "What did you said at Cadmus?" he asked him as Kaldur look at him in confusion until he remember what he had said to the league

"That we could make good work, that we did good work" Kaldur said at which Nate nodded

"Exactly" Nate said as he looked at the others "I don't know what type of missions they will give us but even if they are shitty missions, we need to accomplish them at the best of our abilities, so when speedy or any other guys who dare to judge this team will see that they got nothing on us"

He finished as he saw the guys smiled at his comments, he then grabbed his can soda and raise it in the middle as he stood up "So here's for our first accomplish mission as a team" he said as the other guys smiled and grabbed their cans putting in the middle as the cheer together.

"We should make this a habit" Nate said to them as he sat back in the couch

"What do you mean?" Robin asked as he also sat down like the rest of them

"We could all gather here after the missions to discuss them and what we could've done better" Nate said as he looks "If everyone agrees that's it"

"I like the sound of that" Kaldur said as he addressed the young team "All in favor?" he asked them as they all nodded "So, with that in mind, what thoughts do you have on this mission?" he asked as the young heroes started to discuss the problems and how they could fix them with a smile on their faces

Later in the night Nate was on top of his bed as he prepares to go to sleep looking at the ceiling in deep thought as he had his hands behind his head as he analyzes today's events in his head

"What happen today and in Cadmus can't happen again" he thought as he run a hand towards his side where he was injured earlier "The enemies here are stronger than common Gotham thugs, I need an armor and better weapons"

Nate continue to stare at the ceiling in deep thought as he imagines on his head the armor he wanted and realize what he needed to do "I need to go and see Fred" he thought as he remembers the blacksmith of the underground "It's time I collect that favor he owes me" he thought as he rolled to his side

"I'll visit Markus too see what he found about shimmer and the league" he thought as he drifted into slumber hoping he didn't end on that landscape again.
