This is my first Fanfic and please go easy on the flames, Young Justice and Xcom are own by their respective company and I own nothing

This story was inspired my Maelstrom by Crohn's Colitis,

As I watch the city below me I think of how far I have come, being chosen to lead the most elite military and scientific organization in human history, planning countless tactical battles, failing at defending earth, being captured and used to lead the invasion of my own planet, be freed to lead a rebellion with even less funding and facing the last of the elders combine might. It has to be a rough ride in my young life. My name is Michael Thrawn but nearly everyone knows me as the 'Commander' after leading the rebellion, fighting the elders chosen and leading the assault to the alien fortress, luckily my men and I defeated the chosen before assaulting the fortress. After beating the Elders we caught wind of an even greater threat than ever the Elders was scared of, and with the combined might of earth military and what left of the alien forces we were able to match and repel the great threat. During the final battle, the threat almost started a black hole that would be able to destroy us all, using the Avenger and all my remaining psionic to transport everyone back to earth I used the ships teleporting control to crash into the black hole to stop it.

Waking up after blacking out I look around to see not only myself still alive but my ship pretty much intact still running a diagnostic to see the full damage otherwise it fine although the flight controls a fired so it will take some time before this ship can start flying again. Still, I have a connection to the internet and was able to get commutations back up, only to find that none of my contacts even exited no Resistance, no Reapers, not even Bradford. Looking at the world map I see that the Avengers landed or crashed in Australia.

After a while researching what I read completely surprises me not only did I time travel I'm in a different dimension, alien heroes and enchase humans called Metahumans is insane even creating AI although I do find weird is if all these advances in technology and meeting friendly aliens (which I doubt) humanity still suffers from common things like hunger or politely disagreement. Even with the supervillains I still can understand why humans haven't advance higher than my old Earth before it was invaded.

Anyway, I still have to find a way back home and I don't have to worry about any major trouble with the justice league around even if some of them are x-rays but at least most of them are humans.

Hours later

It nice to just walk outside for once, good thing that the Avenger landed in Australia of all place beside the occasional crime here and there and bushfires in the summer it's way more tame compared to US with superhero and supervillains fighting on the street routinely such as Metropolis and Gotham another thing showing how I in a different dimension. But now I don't have to worry about that, for now, as I walk on the busy streets of Queensland a enjoy the fact that I can now walk outside the Avengers with Advent coming at my back and just enjoy the simple things in life that I truly missed, I know I have to return but I like to enjoy this for a while.

But as I walk on the streets I saw police cars driving by, been curiosity I followed them around the corner to see a hostage situation with arm gunman robbing a bank and using families at gunpoint. The police have set up a barrier of cars around the bank with all officers arm and a negotiator trying to talk down the armed gunman, now normally I just leave it to the police have there were train for this but as I was watching I saw something old about these gunmen as they seem more trigger happy than normal and look like they are expecting some kind of gunfight as they have some pretty advanced weapons not Laser weapons mind you but more on the lines of what Xcom or EXALT used to have before upgrading. Looking as this situations this might need someone with more experiences in these types of circumstances, so looking around I was able to find the chief Alex Hunter of the Police and with a little psionic technique call Soul Merge which is a mix between Inspire and Holy Warrior, this ability will not only help give me Chief Hunter my expertise and knowledge but it can also increase a human body natural limits.

Alex Hunter

Being an officer is hard work beside filing paperwork and doing patrols the hardest part is always going to where ever a crime happens, now that kind of thing is normal for an officer however when your average person is suddenly now bulletproof it gets harder has it goes. Although lucky these superpowers being are mostly in the US or more populated countries compared to Australia, still every now and that there is always someone that wakes up one day and suddenly he now can fly.

'Chief Hunter we have the front cover and all guns points at the doors' said Lieutenant Sara Cole showing me the situations we are in.

'What is the stasis of the hostages?" questioning looking throw my binoculars to see what does on.

'We got a meta leading 3 other criminals holding everyone hostage in the back, the meta has some kind of steel like body making him immune to all ours guns and the negotiator is about 5 mins away. Not to mention all the heavy weapons these criminals seem to have."

'why isn't shit ever simple, why can't it just be a normal robbery with smart people doing heist quickly without gunfire and we just have to find them afterwards, honestly with how the world is I am amazed people still think keeping money in banks this safe,' looking around the area with the binoculars, 'as lest there are no supers to make these things even more complicated', thinking in relief.

Looking through my binoculars I suddenly felt a boost in myself, like I just drank 5 soft drink without feeling sick, looking don my sights now I notice that none of the gunmen is looking at the back door and all of them are facing us while the hostages were close to the door. Feeling like a lightning bolt hitting my brain I saw that if we can get a few my men around the back we can quickly pull the hostages away and take out the gunman at the same time, however, the issues is that meta-human with the metal body making him more difficult to take done but then like another bolt to the head I realise that metal can conduct electricity, all we need is a few Tasers to knock him out instantly.

"Lieutenant Cole I have a plan" with determination,

Point of view change

Michael Thrawn

Looking at the officers arresting the stun Meta human and taking the hostages to an ambulance, I'm honestly surprised how well that turn out; normally I expect a wounded officer or two. Then again I'm using tactics mainly for fighting aliens not criminals so it works out in the end, seeing the families hugging and officers congratulating on a successful mission made me will good, just like in Xcom helping those not ready to stand on their own.

After watching Chief Hunter talk to the press I think about how all the training and experimenting with my psionic has worked for over the years. Although I should still practice more with my Avatar body, the raw power in Psionic alone can take nearly anyone with the Elders use their Avatar body more creatively nothing could have stopped them.

Months past

That what I've been doing for the past few months, saving people and inspire them to do better. It really helps with my psionics providing help from afar not to mention all the training I being with my psionics, now I can use Mind control, Stasis, Soulfire, Insanity, Inspire, Stasis Shield, Solace, Fortress, Fuse, and Phase walk without the use of a psi amp even learn some Templar abilities however I need one to use my other abilities not to mention that psi amp increases the power of all psi ops abilities.

I even got to try out my Avatar body more which is OP with all the gadgets and amps I put into it but in a world, with people like Superman and Batman, it might not be enough.

Any way very few people saw me, which would be a good thing but with things like the internet and the common practice of superpower hero nearly everyone believes them. Doesn't help that I used Stasis Shield, Stasis on people that were caught in many bush fires and more than a few times had to personally find and take them to safety with Fortress and Phase walk in my Avatar body.

Now everyone has been thanking me and calling me a hero, feels nice but some of the hero names they give me really give me a headache. Purple Angel and Doctor Mind, these people have no creativity.

Black Canary

Dinah cut into here barbeque steak and putting it into her mouth. Loving the taste, as this is one of the few times she left America and enjoying while she can. She rarely gets the time to travel as she was always business with the Justice League, even now she only here to investigate a strange new hero Australia.

For the past three days, she has been trying to find a strange new hero. As one of the topics that Batman brought up in their latest meeting. While she doesn't think much of it as long as the person is helping others however Batman doesn't trust anyone in the world especially ones with superpowers. Whether a villain, hero or civilian Batman would have a profile on you should you ever become a threat and although Dinah won't admit it Batman has saved many lives with his paranoia.

A chuckle comes from the gorgeous woman as she reads some of the names this hero received on the internet as she finishes her lunch. Reaching into the jacket pocket pulling out two pictures on the strange heroes? One picture showing what appears to be androgynous heavily armoured human in the purple facemask with a dark hood. The image is blurry as the hero shows the ability to teleport and creates barriers of some kind. The other picture is of a young boy who looks be sixteen but has a similar hood to the first and wearing a black face mask covering his face from the nose down. Has brown hair and wearing a brown vest under a thick light green jacket with dark jeans and combat military boots.

Batman saw a possible connection between the two as one show up around the time the other did. When there is a crisis one of them is are always there. Batman thought the armour one and the Cillian is the same person.

For the past week, she has been trying to look for either of the heroes but is not having any luck. She knew why she was spent on this mission was not only due to her degree in psychology but also her appearance to get the boy to talk more in be in her presence. As men mostly teenagers love the attention of an attractive woman and boys always make time to talk to sexy woman, no matter how sexist it is.

Sadly there has been no crime in the current area and no trouble around to draw her attention. She gives it a day or two than she leaving. Honestly, she has her own life and she not wasting it hunting down teenagers.

Later

The fire was spreading has the building was burning down and people everywhere were trying to put it out or getting others to safety. Dinah seeing the burning building try to help out by carrying those who got seriously burn. While carrying the person to safety she notices something different about the surrounding area, yes there was a fire but not everyone was as scared as others.

"Come on" someone yelled holding a little girl

"I call the fire department they should be here in five minutes," said a woman holding her phone

"Not enough time we need to get everyone out of here," said another person

And like that, she saw how people were organising, either suppressing smaller fires or carrying people to safety. Dinah was surprised these people were doing what they can instead of just standing by the sidelines. As some parts of the build were about to fall on a couple of kids and a dog than she saw a flash than a purple barrier appear around them protecting them. Then someone was able to come by and take them to a safe location. Just as the firetruck arrives to help put off the flames she notices how some of the people seem different than there were before.

Looking around Dinah saw a teenage more in the shadow at the corner of her eye. Following her instincts, she follows and tries to talk to the person. "Hey wait, I just want to talk to you" yells Dinah. Turning around the corner she meets with a dead end. Signing in defeat she suddenly felt a gun at the back of her head. "Don't move" says the teenage has she does so.

Now Dinah could take this teenager down but that would defeat the purpose of her recruiting. So she let him have full-on control of the situation. "Who are you and what do you want" question the masked teenager as he keeps the gun on her head. "I am the Black Canary, a member of the Justice League and I have come to meet with you."

"Black Canary aye, well this is a surprise so what being a leaguer around these parts" putting the gun down and letting Dinah turn around but still keep a finger on the trigger.

Has Dinah turn she sees who she was looking for wearing the same clothes he worn on the photos.

"I have come here as a representative of the Justice League. We have heard about your talents and wish to offer you a chance to join the League."

Michael was suspicious of this. How can the league now about his existence has he was always careful about people seeing him and even then this was a small and isolated country compare to more large countries like the US and whatnot. Not to mention crime is as high here than the US besides a few bushfires and the rare crime action.

"You want me has a full-fledged member?" question, Michael

"Well no, the truth is a team of young heroes is being created to help train future young heroes like you into one day being full-fledged members of the Justice League" explain Canary. "I promise it just an offer for you to join."

That makes more sense to Michael. Can't have superpower teenagers go rouge or anything so they have the young to secret mission away from the public. Now Michael like help out others and using these powers and tech to help but he not keen on working with an organisation like the Justice League. Mainly for their no-kill rule and how they don't really help the world. Sure they save people and all but still, nothing has changed in the long run and it always heroes and villains fighting over little things inside to see a bigger picture. But maybe this can only be temporary, with the resources and knowledge the league have I can find a fast way to fix the Avenger, create that portal and go home.

Canary looks at a boy patiently as he thinks it though, after a minute putting this gun away in the jacket pockets.

"Interested?' smiles Canary

"I'll give it a try, but if I don't like it in out," says Michael

"You are free to leave whenever you desire." She walks over to him. Giving a reassuring smile, she stops in front of him. "Do you have a name?"

"Michael Thrawn"

Canary smiles before walking out the alley. He pulls up his hoodie and follows the woman.

Later

Batman is doing one last check on the computer. Four ice villains attacking in the same day was too much of a coincidence for him to overlook. There is something going on in secret, but he has been unable to discover that secret. It is something that he will have to work on at a later time, at the moment he needs to prepare a new team. He has high hopes for this team of young heroes.

The Justice League needs a team that can operate outside the law. Criminals are proving to be more elusive and organized than in the past. This team will be able to take down those criminal organizations while the Justice League can maintain its public image.

He had been hoping to create a similar team with more experienced heroes, but this is even better than his original plans. These young heroes can be trained from scratch making them much more cohesive in the long run. An incoming message interrupts Batman's thoughts. Canary's image appears on the screen. "I found the boy. He agreed to join the team, but there might be an issue."

"What is it?"

"He is powerful and has an aura of power around him that give people around him a boost in energy however he was armed with a gun putting at my head but I was able to talk him down," says Canary.

Batman frowns at his; not liking guns however everyone has uses their own weapons as long as there no killing which this boy has to follow

Batman stares at Canary, "Any information at all on him?"

Canary frowns, "there is no existing record on him at all. I am at the hills and ran his name through every database in the world that we have access to." The information appears on a screen opposite her image. Batman's eyes narrow upon the name. Michael Thrawn.

"He didn't say anything other than it a telepath and telekinesis with some training. Michael says he got his weapons from an old friend who isn't around anymore and he an orphan and I believe him. I can tell that he is not giving me the full story, but we all have our secrets."

Batman runs his information in his profile "How is he adjusting to the new surroundings?"

"He's admiring the place and shown an application to the surrounding" smirks Canary, "Its funny how he comments how the surroundings match a person who likes to isolate themselves"

Batman doesn't see any humour in that statement. Still, his is better to have this unknown child working under the command of the Justice League than out there on his own. A child with a powerful telepath can inspire others and increase the base state of a human and have powerful weapons in his own right would make the likes Luthor or Rahj will desire as a pawn. Men like that are even able to sway experienced warriors like Batman to their side.

"I am on my way."

The screens vanish. Batman stays a second before heading toward the Zeta Tubes. There is much on the Dark Knight's mind.

Mount Justice

In a flash of light, Michael and Canary appear inside the mountain. "I need to contact a friend. I will be back shortly. Feel free to explore the cave." Then she walks towards the main computer terminal.

Michael looks around the cave then back at the teleporter, the Zeta tubes which Black Canary call it. Created by Star Labs in 1955 and primarily used by the Justice League only, one could imagine with the rest of the world know such technology existed. Not even the Advent could use is has successfully as the justice league has only the Elders and the Rulers could transport natural and even then required a large source of psionic energy to transport and yet the Justice league has this technology for more than 50 years to perfect it.

Makes sense how members like Canary can travel the world so fast. Michael looks around in amazement on how well carved out the mountain was, reminds him of his old base in Africa. Looking around see other well-known heroes such as Red Tornado and Hawk-Girl just to name a few before he saw an older boy walking toward him who looked exactly like Superman. Narrow hazel at the teenage Michael can see he is not Superman as Superman is a grown man while this one looks Superman in his late teens. Perhaps this was Superman son.

Superboy stares at the unknown boy looking at him analytically. Cadmus telepathically download all the information on basic of life and every hero in the world and yet he knows nothing about is this new guy.

"Recognized Aqualad, B02."

"Recognized Robin, B01."

"Recognized Kid Flash, B03."

"Oh yeah, time to go on some real missions. I am so psyched!" Kid Flash grins.

"This place reminds me of the Batcave," smirks Robin.

Aqualad's notices an unknown individual across from Superboy. "It is good to see you again Superboy." Superboy gives a small nod. Before facing the newcomer "I am Aqualad, it is nice to meet you." He offers his hand. Michael stares at the hand before shaking it with his own.

"Michael Thrawn nice to meet you" greeted evenly

Kid raises an eyebrow. "Kid flash never heard of you"

Robin frowns not knowing who his person is.

Batman steps forward drawing the attention of all the sidekicks.

"Welcome to the original headquarters of the Justice League. Since you are so determined to fight the good fight, you will do it under League terms. Red Tornado has volunteered to supervise the team, Canary will be the team trainer, and I will deploy you on missions."

"Real missions" Questions Robin

"Covert missions," states Batman. "The Justice League will still handle the big images."

Flash smirks, "there is a reason we have the symbols on our chest."

"But the bad guys are proving to be more resourceful," finishes Aquaman.

"The six of you will be a team." Batman gestures at Michael. "This is Michael Thrawn and he will join the team as the six-member." Michael nodding at this

Robin glances around, "wait who is the fifth member?" Batman looks behind the team. The team turns around to see Martian Manhunter and a pretty girl wearing a similar outfit standing next to the Justice League member. She is very pretty with long red hair falling down past her shoulders, green skin, and developing curves. The girl wears a white top, blue cape, a blue skirt, and matching blue boots.

"Hi," greets the girl. "It is an honour to be on the team."

Wally nudges Robin. "I am liking this gig more and more." Giving a charming smile, he starts to talk to the girl. "Hey, I am Kid Flash. That is Robin, Aqualad, and Superboy but feel free to forget their names." Robin and Aqualad follow Kid Flash over to the new girl.

"Hey Superboy, Michael come and meet Miss M," waves Robin.

Superboy walks over to the group. While Michael turns to face Batman. Someone Michael certainly respected as Batman has no powers other than his wit, training and discipline. "I will be staying at Australia when I'm not on mission or training," says Michael

Batman shows no emotion. "The mountain has plenty of rooms."

"Thank you but I prefer to live on my own."

"Very well," Batman reaches into his utility belt drawing a watch. He tosses it at Michael; Michael places the watch around his wrist with a small click. "That watch will issue an alert when there is a training or mission."

Michael agrees than turns walking toward the Zeta Tubes.

The computer activates as a bright light fills the cavern. "Recognize Michael Thrawn, B06." The commander vanishes from the cavern.

Aqualad frowns. This is supposed to be a team yet one of their teammates doesn't seem interested in getting to know them at all. He never heard of a Michael Thrawn or even a code name relating to him. That doesn't mean much as his interaction with other sidekicks was limited to Robin, Kid Flash, and Speedy. He knows that the world is filled with heroes of all ages, but he never met a sidekick that acted so unsocial other than Batman. He is starting to worry that this team might not work.
