Here's Chapter Two 'Part One' of the story. Not much, but well…

Enjoy.

.

Within the City of Metropolis, one of the many states that make up the US of A, people were running for their lives in fear - or at least they tried to - until their fleeing forms were hit with an Icy Blue wave of energy that - when it came in contact with its target - froze their entire forms completely; and as for the culprit of this form of terror?

"I gotta say, there's nothing better than a little chaos to take your mind off of a really bad day." Well, look no further than the frosty blue skinned, icy white haired, muscular male garbed in a short sleeve, one piece, black, form fitting shirt and shorts. "Maybe I should have some of those more often; it sure as hell would make things a lot less boring around here!"

Glacier was this Ice themed villain's name and as he was about to fire another wave of energy at fleeing civilians, an orange blast of energy hit near his leg causing him to jump back in fright and then, as a voice spoke out from behind him, look up.

"While I support making things a bit less boring..." he traced the new voice to its source. "...doing that at the safety risk of others is something I'm sure that many, myself included, would appreciate; doing that in Metropolis is just plain stupid."

And as he spotted the spiky, scarlet red hair, blue eyes, light skin, and the athletic build of the teenage looking male with an arm stretched at him - which revealed that he was the one responsible for the shot from earlier - Glacier's eyes narrowed in recognition.

"Well now, if it isn't the peepsqueak who thinks he can roll in with the big leagues; what's your name again? Something with an 'S'?" the ice themed villain then smirked. "And speaking of an 'S', does you being here mean Boy Scout's on his way? I'd rather face him than an unknown runt."

As for the person who stopped him: who he was, you ask?

"First of all, it's Sentinel, a name you'd do well to remember 'cause it's the name that's gonna kick your ass so bad you wish you'd stayed in bed today." Well - as he'd just introduced to the ice themed villain - Sentinel was the name of this being; and while his appearance was new to Glacier, to the people of Viltrum City, he was a hero. "Second, I'm 18; and as far as I'm concerned, that's far from being a runt. Also Superman's busy with something off-world at the moment and asked me watch over his city for a while so you're gonna have to deal with me Mr. Walking Popsicle."

Glacier's shoulder sagged.

"What, so he's not coming then?" he stated, sighing in what could be described as disappointment. "Well, that sucks; and here I was hoping to try out a new trick on him." his look then shifted, with a smirk forming on his face. "But seeing as you're here in his place, I guess you're gonna have to take his place in my plans."

"Um... yeah." Sentinel aimed his stretched hand and flexed his fingers; in response, what looked like an orange, transparent, bubble suddenly appeared around Glacier, trapping him in place. "How about… no?"

"What the-" Glacier looked around. He punched the construct hoping to break it apart and when he saw that it wasn't working, he switched to firing ice projectiles. That option did not work either. "-alright, what the hell's going on? Last I checked, you're not some off-shot Green Lantern."

"It pays to not throw all your cards on the table..." Sentinel stated smugly. "...as you can obviously see; also, you tend to pick up a 'few things' when you spend most of your childhood years living on Mars. True story. Care to guess what else I picked up?"

"Oh yeah?" Glacier sneered. "Well, in case you've forgotten, you're not the only one with new tricks!"

Then the Ice Villain spread his arms and legs with a loud yell and before the eyes of Sentinel, an aura of Ice and Snow exploded out of the trapped Glacier, causing the prison around him - much to Sentinel's shock - to freeze and then break apart before extending and covering everything within a hundred mile radius before he, aka the red headed hero, could respond.

Yes, even Sentinel was frozen.

And as he walked toward his frozen target, Glacier's face shifted as a smirk formed on it.

"Like it? I call it 'white Out'." he shoved a hand in his pocket, and threw the free one around the human sized ickle. "And like I said, this attack was created to stop someone as tough as the likes of Superman and seeing as you're not him, I doubt you'll be getting out of this anytime soon; that is..." then, he brought out his pocketed hand and cocked it into a fist. "...if I let you live."

However, before he could strike the ice thus shattering both it and Sentinel, his hand was grabbed causing Glacier to pause, blink and then widen his eyes as they spotted the smirking visage Sentinel looking back at him.

"Well shit." Glacier glanced at the ickle, and then frowned as he looked at the smirking figure. "I'm right fucked, aren't I?"

Sentinel tightened his grip on Glacier's hand.

"Right in the down under." the redhead formed a fist and cocked his hand back. "Oh and by the way, I can clone myself too."

With that, Glacier was swiftly transported to the 'land of unconscious souls' courtesy of a rather severe and humiliating beatdown.

.

Moments later, the redheaded form of Sentinel landed in front of the entrance of the Hall of Justice, ignoring the crowds around him as he looked up at the blood red eyes of the green skinned, bald headed male standing in front of the door.

"Uncle J'onn." the said man smiled at the younger, just arriving male, in response. "Am I late? If so, then blame it on the jackass who thought freezing everything within a hundred mile radius would be 'fun'. He's lucky had the right skillset to undo his idiocy."

"No, you are not late Sentinel." he, J'onn, aka the Martian Manhunter, had stated. "Batman and the others have not arrived yet."

"Wow, really?" Sentinel blinked, before shrugging. "Okay I guess; lucky me. Speaking of which, what's up with him asking me to show up?"

"Metropolis was one of 5 states attacked by members of the Ice Clan." the Manhunter stated, and at the young male's look, he elaborated. "Batman believes that it is more than a mere coincidence that these attacks appeared simultaneously in Metropolis, Star City, Central City, Amnesty Bay, and Gotham and wants you, along with the others and himself, to see if the various ice villains left any clues that might discern the bigger picture which he believes this may lead to."

"Well," Sentinel crossed his hands over his chest. "I guess he isn't Batman if he isn't trying to look 'Underneath the Underneath' and trying to solve a mystery." then he frowned. "Huh. I wonder why my mind thought of a dog with one red eye, a face mask and spiky, silver hair when I thought of that."

"A matter, I believe, that is for another time my friend." J'onn stated, before looking over the redhead's shoulder. "Because the others are just arriving."

"Oh, really?" and in response, the redhead turned around. "Ugh. Finally! Now we can go somewhere."

And as that was said, Batman, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Robin, Aqualad and Speedy had arrived, surprisingly simultaneously.

"Two are missing." Sentinel pointed out as he noted the arriving group. "And judging by their skillset, I'm surprised that they weren't the first ones here."

"According to Flash, think of it as a foil to his Super Speed." J'onn commented. "Super Tardiness."

"Well," the redhead frowned. "At least he's not Two Hours late and doesn't come up with ridiculous excuses like 'getting lost in the road of life' or 'a black cat crossed my path so he was forced to take the long way around' or something."

Sentinel ignored the look J'onn gave him as he said those words.

To Be Continued.

Author's Note: Decided to post up to this part because, admittedly, I was getting a bit of writer's block on future scenes. Should the sidekicks Know about Sentinel? Should he be part of the quartet friend group? How long would Sentinel have been a hero prior to YJ? Should he be a member of the Justice League? Did he join when they formed or was he a member a bit after they did? Yeah. Those kinds of questions would make my brain start to steam and delay the update of the chapter so I decided to give you this.

PS: There's a little bit extra hidden information to Naruto's backstory that far surpasses the fact that he's from a long time in the past, and the fact that he's the son of three races - two little extra hidden pieces of information - and one of them will involve why he's going to be one of the strongest heroes in the YJ universe. Plus he landed on Mars, rather than Earth, as he emerged from the black hole and for the first few years of his life, he was living on Mars so of course he's going to feel a bit like the White Martians do because of his appearance.

PPS: A little extra, while this chapter was indeed short, I feel like it got a few points across. And also, Glaicer is an OC I created for this story because, as you know, a single butterfly flap could mess, or improve, things up in the long run. Naruto is that butterfly. What else does his appearance change?
