Chapter 4: Getting Reacquainted

The two speedsters zipped down the halls in a matter of seconds, arriving in front of Robin's infirmary room with a screech as they dug their feet into the ground, stopping their momentum. Flash raised an eyebrow as the door did not open, reaching up to enter his access code into the keypad, "Batman must have locked it... I don't see why. He was hurt. Where was he going to go?"

Kid Flash didn't comment on how any member of the Bat family who was free to go where he pleased was probably more dangerous than letting a hundred lions roam free in the station. The door let out a small beep as the word 'unlocked' flashed across the keypad's screen in big, bold green letters. Flash grinned down in triumph at the younger speedster but quickly changed his expression to one of surprise when smoke poured out of the room. Both speedsters backed away as a large black mass shot out of the room and into the hall, performing a perfect combat roll before standing up straight.

The speedsters raised their fists in a guarded stances on instinct before realizing what it was that they were looking at. It was none other than the Boy Wonder himself, covered completely by his soaked cape, probably to shield himself from the smoke and what was probably a fire inside the infirmary. The sprinklers were already on inside, pouring down heavily into the room and having extinguished whatever was on fire.

As Robin lowered the soaked cape from around his face, he glanced curiously at both Flash and Kid Flash standing side by side with what appeared to be raised eyebrows.

"Hey Rob. Everything...alright here? Got something to say?" Kid Flash waved his arm at the smoking and now slightly flooded infirmary for emphasis, a small smirk on his lips as he approached his equally soaking wet friend.

Robin was about to speak when two green figures rounded the corner, one calling out in a worried voice, "What happened?" M'gann flew right up to her two teammates, landing down next to them while J'onn landed a few feet away, glancing into the infirmary before looking at Flash questionably.

Flash gave the Manhunter a small grin before shrugging his shoulders, "Hey, I don't know what happened, I just got here myself. Just like everyone else. We were about to ask the kid how...this happened." Flash pointed his thumb at the flooded infirmary, the smoke having died down and the alarms shutting off with the sprinklers, a few of the electrical equipment inside sparking.

Nodding his head, J'onn turned to look at Robin who was quietly talking with M'gann and Kid Flash, the two catching him up on what transpired. As they started to finish up, Zatanna rounded the corner, closely followed by Superman, Green Lantern, and the rest of the Team. The later gathered around the young Bat, relief flooding their features and postures.

"Robin!" Zatanna wrapped her arms around the young Boy Wonder, pulling him into a tight hug which made his cheeks turn slightly red but a smile formed on his lips regardless.

"It is good to see you up and well my friend, but what exactly happened here?" Aqualad kept his calm expression on his face as he crossed his arms, glancing briefly at the slightly flooded infirmary and smoking mess the medical table was.

"I would also like an explanation as to why thousands of dollars in medical equipment is now ruined, and the brand new infirmary we just installed is flooded and charred." Batman's stern and menacing voice cut down the hall and made everyone freeze, including the older heroes. M'gann let out a small squeak and hid behind Superboy as Robin and Kid Flash visibly gulped.

The Boy Wonder slowly turned towards the older Bat, an uncharacteristic sheepish smile on his lips as he shrugged his shoulders, "Idle hands do the devil's work, so I decided to preoccupy myself with...training. Yeah...training, you know?"

Everybody, aside from Batman, raised an eyebrow at the young boy, some glancing at one another in confusion. Letting out a small scoff, Green Lantern crossed his arms, "Enlighten us kid, how exactly did you train in the infirmary, and cause this?" for emphasis, Green Lantern gestured towards the ruined infirmary room with his left arm.

Robin gave one of his infamous smirks, letting out a small laugh, "Well... My mechanical skills are still in need of improvement you know? So I figured, what better way to improve than by hands on experience. Since the only viable machine in the infirmary was the medical table, I decided to take it apart and then put it back together again. Just the way I found it."

Kid Flash slapped a hand against his face, shaking his head, "Let me guess, the medical equipment was more advanced than you initially estimated. When you tried to put it back together, you crossed some wires. When you tried to turn it on and test if it was properly put back together, it exploded?"

Robin spared Kid Flash a glance before letting out another laugh, "Well, it didn't...explode. Just kind of...sparked and ignited. It was an honest mistake, I must have crossed the A4 and B7 wires by accident. If it didn't catch fire, I could have put it back together perfectly."

Everyone, including Batman this time, looked into the charred and soaked room before simultaneously looking back at Robin. The Boy Wonder had the decency to look repentant, scratching the back of his head, "...Sorry?"

Green Lantern merely let out an exasperated sigh, running a hand down his face as Batman glowered at the young boy. Sensing another scolding, argument, or both, Superman stepped forward between the Boy Wonder and Batman, "Alright, can I please ask all of you not to...take apart or mess with anything on the Watchtower from now on? Batman is stressed enough as it is, getting this place up and running and expanding the League. Robin, was it?" the Boy Wonder nodded slightly, "You may not feel it because of the anesthetics given to you, but you are still severely injured. You need to take it easy. Please refrain from...training."

Robin grinned slightly, nodding his head again. Just as Superman was about to continue, the double doors on the other side of the hallway opened, Wonder Woman flying through the corridor and landing a few feet away, "I heard the alarms as soon as I docked. What happened?"

Flash grinned and zipped up in front of the Amazon Princess, waving his hand at a high speed over and over again, "Oh it's nothing, just a small fire. The sprinklers got it. Come on, meet the mini heroes!"

Diana glanced at the young heroes, an eyebrow raising before looking at the older heroes. Batman silently glared, brooded, whatever he did. No surprise. Superman gave her an encouraging smile, as did J'onn while Green Lantern just shrugged. Seeing as no one, aside from Batman, seemed to disapprove of the young heroes, Diana walked up to them, "Greetings, I am Diana of Themyscira, Princess of the Amazon. It is an honor to meet you all."

Few of the young heroes actively interacted or even spoke with their world's Wonder Woman aside from a congratulations or thanks for stopping Vandal Savage's plot to control the Justice League. She seemed like a stern woman, not too easy to approach. Though seeing the warm smile and eyes of the Wonder Woman of this world, the young heroes could not help feeling a bit more relaxed.

Aqualad was the first to respond, bowing his own head low in response, "I am Kaldur'ahm of Atlantis, former protege of Aquaman."

Superboy merely crossed his arms, "Superboy." Diana raised an eyebrow at that, glancing at Superman who shook his head.

M'gann quickly spoke up before anyone could ask, moving forward to offer her hand, "Hello, my name is M'gann M'orzz, but you can call me Megan if you like. It's an honor to meet you Wonder Woman. Or I guess...it's nice to meet you again."

Wonder Woman once again raised an eyebrow in puzzlement this time. Flash took this opportunity to interrupt, zipping up next to Diana, "Long story short, they are from a different dimension. A dimension where the League is good and exists, but also had young sidekicks we trained to kick butt along side us."

"Partners! We were your partners! Seriously, why is that so hard for people to understand?!" Kid Flash threw his arms into the air, shaking his head with a frustrated groan. This in turn, caused Flash to let out a big laugh, shaking his head, "Sorry Kid!"

Kid Flash scowled slightly at his alternate uncle, earning him another hearty laugh from the older speedster. Before he could speak however, Artemis stepped up besides him, elbowing him in the gut while introducing herself to the amused looking Amazon Princess, "I'm Artemis by the way and this is Kid Flash. It's really nice to meet you."

Zatanna stepped up next to them, her hands behind her back and a smile on her face, "I'm Zatanna, the soaking wet one back there who flooded your new infirmary and caused all the trouble is Robin." The Boy Wonder in turn yelled 'Hey I resent that!' from behind, earning a small chuckle from some of the older heroes.

"It is wonderful to meet you all. You say you are all partners of our counterparts in another dimension? I believe I can guess who some of you are partnered with but a few I am unsure about..." Wonder Woman smiled slightly, some of the other older heroes nodding in agreement.

Kid Flash grinned, nodding his head, "Oh yeah, I guess it would be a little difficult to figure out some of our connections with just the names for a few of us. Well with me, Aqualad, Superboy and Miss Martian over there, it's pretty obvious. I'm Flash's partner and Aqualad is Aquaman's partner. They trained us and mentored us. However Miss Martian and um...uh Superboy's situation is a little different." He gave off a small nervous laugh, scratching his cheek after mentioning Superboy, especially after the scowl that formed on the half-Kryptonian's face.

A few of the older heroes once again raised an eyebrow, glancing at one another while the younger heroes looked at each with slight worry, coming to an unspoken but telepathic agreement. Robin stepped forward, grinning slightly, "Yeah well...for the past two years we have all been working together and the League as a whole has been taking care of us all. The one in charge of our hand to hand combat and kind of...welfare is Black Canary and our caretaker has mostly been Red Tornado."

A few of the older heroes were a bit familiar with other heroes around the world and had heard of the two heroes Red Tornado and Black Canary but the one who was most familiar with them was Batman, since he always kept tabs on who was who and was in charge of gathering their dossiers for potential membership into the League. He had a pretty good idea why Black Canary would be chosen to handle their hand to hand combat but he was truthfully a bit unsure why Red Tornado would be chosen as their caretaker. The circumstances in the other dimension was probably much different from their own, he still didn't have enough information.

Batman focused back on the conversation at hand when the one named Robin started to speak again, "Zatanna over there is actually the daughter of someone in the League, Giovanni Zatara. A magician hero called Zatara." Zatanna froze slightly at the mention of her father for a split second before relaxing, her shoulder's drooping slightly. Robin put a hand on her shoulder, the young magician looking back at the Boy Wonder with a grateful smile.

Batman's eyes widened slightly under his cowl for a moment. He thought that the young magician looked familiar. Zatanna...a teenage Zatanna who was apparently in the same age group as the young kid heroes almost two decades younger. He briefly wondered how Zatanna would react to her own younger counterpart. That would be amusing to see.

Hoping to distract the older heroes further from asking too many questions, Artemis stepped forward with a smile, "I'm Green Arrow's partner. M'gann over there was introduced to us through Martian Manhunter but she wasn't really his partner in crime fighting. She is actually his niece who I will mention, actually hid on his ship when he came back to Earth after visiting his relatives on Mars."

M'gann suddenly squeaked, waving her hands rapidly and pushing them over Artemis's mouth, "Artemis! They don't need to know that!" Quite a few of the people around M'gann let out a low chuckle, a blush appearing on the young Martian's cheeks.

Wonder Woman looked at Robin, tilting her head, "How about you? You have yet to say who your own mentor is."

Giving the Amazonian a mischievous smirk, the young Boy Wonder crossed his arms, letting out his signature laugh, "I'll give you a hint." He then stood up straight, grabbing his cape and wrapping it fully around his body before giving everyone his best scowl. A few of the younger heroes did their best to hide their laughs while Flash outright howled, his hands grabbing his sides.

Wonder Woman just blinked, staring at the young boy with surprise as Batman actually scowled, glaring at the Boy Wonder. Superman and Green Lantern actually couldn't help smiling themselves as they actually noted the similar scowls the two members of the Bat family actually wore. Glancing between Batman then back at Robin, Wonder Woman let out a small chuckle, "I can see the resemblance. Are you Batman's...?"

Robin stopped his scowling, opening up his cape and shaking his head, a small grin on his lips, "Nope. I am not Batman's actual son. Though I guess I come pretty close." He smirked, purposely choosing not to say anymore. Even if they were in a different dimension, secrets were secrets after all. Including their identities.

Before anyone could say anything more, a loud rumbling sound filled the hallway, causing everyone to look at Kid Flash. The young speedster smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head, "Ah yeah...sorry. Still running on empty. Haven't had a decent meal in way too long..."

Flash grinned, zipping up to Kid Flash and patting his shoulder, "I totally understand, why don't we all head to the cafeteria, I am sure you could all use a good hot meal after the things you have been through." A few of the others nodded in agreement. Having the chance to relax after a long while, their tired bodies were finally able to feel the extent of their fatigue and hunger.

"Come, let us all go get something to eat then." J'onn smiled at M'gann before starting to walk down the hallway, the young heroes following curtly.

Kid Flash glanced at his alternate uncle who grinned and gave him a short nod, "Think you can keep up?"

Kid Flash grinned back at him, swiping his finger across his cheek, "You betcha." Flash laughed, his body vibrating with energy as he then immediately zipped away down the hall, passing the others, Kid Flash hot on his tail.

The other, older heroes made a move to follow them when Batman reached out and grabbed both Superman and Wonder Woman's shoulders, making the two turn and face him. Green Lantern stepped up to the three, crossing his arms. Superman raised an eyebrow at the Dark Knight, "Bruce?"

Batman scowled slightly at Superman, "We need to discuss how we are going to handle the situation. As soon as they are all fed, tell Flash to show them to temporary quarters and to lock them in. Then tell him to meet us all in the meeting room." Batman then curtly turned and walked down the hall towards the monitor room, cutting off any further conversations.

Superman shook his head, rubbing a hand down his face as Green Lantern let out a tired sigh, "This situation is just...too much. I mean alternate dimensions, different world with different situations, kids with powers and being heroes. I just don't know what to think or how to deal with all of this."

Wonder Woman glanced at the two heroes before looking down the hallway Batman went before speaking, "For now, let us do as we are told. It is useless for us to contemplate right now and try to decide what to do without all of us talking together about it first. John, Clark, you both go join Flash and J'onn. I'll go see that Bruce does not do anything...drastic."

Giving her a grateful smile, Superman nodded before walking down the hallway towards the cafeteria, "Thanks Diana." Green Lantern followed close behind, running his hand over his head.

The Amazonian in turn walked down the opposite hallway towards the monitor room, wondering just what Batman had planned for the young heroes.

/0/

"Whoa... The cafeteria you guys have is much, much bigger than the one on our own Watchtower. Why is it so big anyways?" Kid Flash glanced at Flash who was pressing a few buttons on different machines, starting the automated food makers. He glanced at Kid Flash curiously before going back to what he was doing, "Let me ask you kid, how many members does the Justice League in your dimension have?"

Kid Flash blinked before thinking for a few moments, "Well they just added a few new members so currently I'd say there are about...maybe seventeen members. Why?"

Flash nodded as he worked, the other heroes making their way into the cafeteria now, "Well you see, our Justice League? For a while now, since we started, the only members are the people you see now, minus Hawkgirl. Seven of us started the Justice League together and we were the only members until now."

Kid Flash blinked, a hand coming up to grip his chin, "Only seven of you make up the League? How long has it been?"

Flash glanced at Kid Flash before grinning, "A few years, we've been able to handle things pretty well if I say so myself. But yeah, the reason you see all these upgrades and the reason we rebuilt the Watchtower this way, is because we plan to expand the League."

Kid Flash tilted his head, "Expand the League? You mean invite more members right? Who do you plan to invite?"

Flash grinned a little wider as he finished what he was doing, turning towards the younger speedster, "Everyone." Kid Flash blinked, "Um...what do you mean, 'everyone'?"

Flash crossed his arms, the wide smirk still on his face, "I literally mean, everyone. Every hero that is out there that we can find and contact, we are literally going to invite every hero out there that Batman has found, gone over their background, and we all approved. Do you know how long that took? Months, including the rebuilding of this Watchtower."

Kid Flash's jaw dropped, his mouth wide open as he stared at the older speedster, "But that means...that means you'd have like...fifty or so members!"

Flash nodded his head, "Exactly, we would have almost every hero out there in the League, working together to defend not only their own cities and areas, but to deal with conflicts all over the world. If our villains ever give us any trouble, or team up to try and defeat one of us? The League responds. Even Batman with his whole Dark Knight of Gotham thing will have help from the League. If he asks of course..."

Kid Flash was still staring at his alternate uncle, "You'll all be like a small army of super powered beings... An army of heroes who deals with every situation on Earth. That's...awesome but very scary at the same time."

Flash blinked, tilting his head to the side, "Scary? Why would that be scary? We are heroes, the good guys."

Kid Flash shook his head, crossing his arms, "Uncle Barry, don't you get it? You'll literally be a small army full of super powered humans. Even one of the members alone could probably take on the army of a small country. Heck, Superman alone could probably take on the whole of the US army. From what I can tell, you guys don't have a Hall of Justice. You said you and the others we met just now started the League a few years ago? That means you are recent, do you even have a relation with the UN?"

Flash blinked, staring at Kid Flash with confusion, his grin now gone, "Um...well. We were thanked by presidents and country leaders for things we have done before."

Kid Flash shook his head, "No I mean, do you guys have an official tie with the UN? Do you guys officially exist in the body of the world governments?"

Flash blinked again before slowly shaking his head, "Uh, well. We technically aren't really part of any government. I mean we will help the UN if they ask us, but we aren't like...working for them or really with them. We just protect the innocent and fight evil villains if they try anything all over the world."

Kid Flash shook his head again, slapping his hand over his face, "Didn't you all think about what you would all look like? I bet they don't even know you guys have a giant orbiting satellite over their heads! Do you know how scary you guys would look, with all this technology and not to mention, all the super powered people working together in one place?"

Flash scowled, crossing his arms, "Look kid, we are the good guys. We protect people, we are defending the Earth. Everyone knows the Justice League exists and everyone knows we are here, and I am sure governments know about the Watchtower. Why would anyone be scared of us!?"

Kid Flash shook his head, waving his hand all around him, "Uncle Barry look at all of this! Look at yourselves. We all have super human abilities. Heck, one of us could substitute for almost a hundred or maybe even a thousand soldiers. Superman could be a whole country's own army for crying out loud. Do you know how scary you guys would look if someone in the government thinks you guys would turn and be your own army or try to take charge? And trust me, someone in any government will always think like that."

By now everyone was gathered around the two speedsters, silently watching the two talk, looking back and forth between the two. The older heroes present honestly hadn't really thought about such things like any official relations with government bodies aside from the trust placed in them as heroes. Perhaps Batman had some plan but it was never openly discussed before.

The slightly tense atmosphere was broken by the sudden dings of various machines, a variety of different types of food being dispensed hot and steaming. A rich scent of different foods filled the room, causing Kid Flash's stomach to growl like an angry lion. This caused some people to smile and a few to let out a small laugh.

J'onn stepped forward, a small smile on his lips, "Come now everyone, why don't you all grab something to eat. I am sure you have all had a hard journey, don't hold back and feel free to keep ordering more food."

Glancing at one another, the young heroes nodded and immediately grabbed a few plates, moving among the various machines to grab different foods here and there. Seeing he was falling behind, Kid Flash quickly grabbed a few plates and started zipping around, grabbing what he could.

Superman walked up behind Flash, placing a hand on his shoulder, "Come on Barry, let's all grab something to eat. We can all talk about...what we need to deal with later. For now, lets all eat and get to know our new heroes."

Flash looked at Superman and nodded, a small grin forming on his lips as he moved to grab a few plates as well. Green Lantern walked up next to Superman, crossing his arms as he looked at the young heroes with a strange new expression, "It seems there are a few things these kids can teach us as well, huh?"

Superman nodded, keeping his eyes trained on the young heroes walking around, talking and laughing among themselves, "Everybody has something they can teach somebody. No matter their age. It seems we still have a lot of work to do inside and out."

Green Lantern let out a small sigh, running his hand down his face, "There is always something to do, huh?"

At that, Superman just smiled.


I honestly have no idea how the TV series Justice League in Justice League Unlimited handled their relations with official governments or the UN. I mean I know they helped out all over the world but that wasn't made clear like in Young Justice where they have an official relationship with the UN through the UN Charter. So I just made it so they did not have one. The reason is because in Justice League Unlimited, the Justice League was started pretty recently by Batman and Superman and the other five members of the League while in Young Justice they have a kind of long history with older heroes and even a Hall of Justice. Take that however you all wish.

I will say this for the last time. I know Barry Allen wasn't the Flash in Justice League Unlimited. But I changed that because I will always believe the first Flash in the modern Justice League should have been and always should be Barry Allen. Just a personal choice is all.
