"We're going to ask you a series of questions and you will be answering them efficiently, is that clear." Batman growled at the teen in front of him.
"Yes, Mr...Batman." Jaune responded to the older hero.
'How did I even get here? Wait where even is here? How am I even supposed to answer this Bat dude.' Jaune thought.
It all started after Jaune had fainted on the Watchtower in front of Batman and the Martian Manhunter. They had brought Jaune to a medbay and once they found out he was ok, they then took him to a room that was probably where they had meetings and then handcuffed him to the chairs. Now they were interrogating him just for being here.
"What is your name and where are you from." Batman grunted startling the blond teen from his thoughts.
"I'm Jaune Arc and I'm from Remnant." Jaune stuttered.
"Where is Remnant?" The Martian questioned him.
"I don't know, I was banished from Remnant and I ended up here." Jaune told the Manhunter.
"What type of world is Remnant and how did you get banished." The Manhunter asked him.
'I can't tell him the truth, they'll probably throw me into space or something.' Jaune panicked inside as he thought about what could have happened but then thought of an idea.'I know I can tell half truths.'
"Well it kind of revolves around fighting and survival, they are creatures called Grimm that actively try to kill everyone on Remnant. In Remnant there are colosseum matches to train warriors to fight the Grimm and I'm one of those warriors. I was banished because I falsified the documents required to enlist because my parents didn't sign, but why would they? They hated me the most." Jaune told the two heroes.
'I guess the part about my family disliking me the most isn't false. When I was disowned they never helped me, not mom or any of my sisters, I would have thought Saphron of all people would understand and help but she didn't. Saphron was also disowned because she didn't want to marry who mom or dad wanted her to marry and because she was a lesbian. My parents weren't accepting of anything but they're beliefs, they hated those that weren't straight and Faunus.'
"If you could stay here on Earth what would you do?" Batman questioned him.
"I always wanted to be a hero and Earth can be my fresh start." Jaune replied.
"Do you have powers or special abilities?" Batman questioned him with a little too much interest.
"Yea, I can heal myself, My skin and muscles are dense and hard to penetrate or injure, I have super strength, I can manipulate electricity, wind and water, I have heightened senses and I can amplify my abilities at times." Jaune responded.
"If we could give you a choice to be part of a group of heroes around your age, would you take it?" Batman questioned him.
"Yes...wait what do you mean my age, you don't even know how old I am." Jaune retorted to a smug Batman.
"You're a teenager, probably sixteen to eighteen judging by your appearance and voice, your mostly likely seventeen because you comment about falsifying legal documents because of a lack of permission indicates that and I'm guessing your eighteen because you were caught over a period of time since the falsification of the documents." The smug Batman retorted
"Wait how did you even do that." Jaune asked in shock.
"I'm the greatest detective alive." Batman replied.
"Anyway the group of heroes is a group of our proteges that are around your age." Batman said before releasing the cuffs around Jaune's Hands.
"You're releasing me?" Jaune questioned the pair of heroes.
"Yes under some conditions though. First don't tell the other proteges about the tower and second we need to test your physical levels." The Martian told the blond knight.
"Test?" Jaune questioned the green hero.
"Yes, at STAR Labs they will test your abilities. I hope you have something to cover your face when you do field work" Batman interjected.
"Yea my armor and cape have a stealth feature like that." Jaune responded.
The stealth features were a hidden part of the armor that Jaune had built in to protect his identity. The first thing that helped with stealth also ties in with the second part, that was the armor could change color to black if the cape's cowl was up. Second was the cowl that came with the cape, the cowl also turns the cape to a dark blue and could hide his face by creating a one sided mirror cloud in front of the face to protect his identity.
"Good, follow me to the Zeta-Tubes." Batman said as he got up and went to the Zeta-Tubes and after yelling out "STAR Labs" he was gone.
Throwing his cowl over his head, Jaune's armor turned black and the cape became a dark blue. After that the next thing Jaune knew was the Zeta-Tube opening up and he went through it and was met with the faces of several scientists in long white lab cloaks.
"Greetings we here at this particular STAR Labs are a special group of scientists that specifically cater to heroes and their needs. We help with training, suit design, naming and gadgets. If you need our help feel free to stop by." A bald scientist told Jaune.
"He'll by doing a simple physical and will need help with a codename." Batman told the bald scientist before leaving via Zeta-Tube.
"Let's start with a physical for now, follow use here to the strength test." A female scientist spoke up as they headed to a room with a large amount of weights and a large hydraulic press.
"Alright we're going to need you to start with anything you are comfortable with. The largest weights are the 500lbs over there and if you can lift that and feel confident with doing something larger than the weights then the hydraulic press over there is available. The hydraulic press measures at increments of 500lbs, so if you can do that feel free." The bald scientist explained to an impressed Jaune, not that anyone knew he was impressed with the smoke cloud blocking people from seeing his face.
Starting with the 500lbs weight, Jaune was easily able to lift it up and so he moved onto the massive hydraulic press.
"I'm ready for the hydraulic press, start it." Jaune told one of the scientists working the hydraulic press controls.
"Beginning hydraulic press, 500." The scientist read out the numbers.
"1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 3500, 4000, 4500, 5000. Still no strain, 7500, 8000, 8500, 9000, 9500, 10000, 10500, 11000, 11500, 12000, small signs of strain, 15000, high levels of strain shut it off, 17500. Good job kid, 17500lbs isn't something to scoff at." The bald scientist congratulates him.
'I could probably do more if I used my powers.' Jaune thought to himself.
"Moving on to speed." The female scientist told him as she practically dragged him to a room with a large treadmill.
"Alright we're going to start the treadmill once you're on it and it's your job to run as fast as you can for a minute without your powers and then if your powers can work on it, then we will test it. So when you're ready to begin feel free to start. " The female scientist told him as she took out a clipboard and started working on it.
Jaune stepped on the treadmill and felt it begin to move so he ran as fast as he could without his powers which got him thinking about his armor, cape and cowl.
'So glad I made my armor immune to lightning, not that it could hurt me though. Wait wouldn't my cape and cowl go flying all over the place? Nah I can just disconnect the cape and the cowl is very secure.' Jaune thought to himself.
As swiftly as the speed measurement had begun it had ended and Jaune had stepped off the treadmill.
"Congratulations 153.45 mph thats pretty good, would you care to try using your powers this time." The bald scientist told him.
Jaune went back onto the treadmill but this time he activated his powers and when he was told to begin a loud BOOM shook the room as Jaune had just broken the sound barrier and was getting faster at an alarming rate. By the time the minute was up the scientists were left in shock because of the difference Jaunes powers being used and not being used had shown.
"11509 mph thats 15 times the speed of sound." The bald scientist told Jaune before congratulating him.
'Too bad I can't turn when I use my powers to boost my speed.' Jaune inwardly sighed at the thought.
Last time Jaune had tried to see how fast he could go on a scale from slow to woah. When he tried turning around he was sent flying of course because of his powers.
"Well then I guess it's time for a superhero identity now." Jaune announced to the group of scientist
After three hours of constant bickering and arguing between every occupant of the room and the occasional snack brake, a superhero codename was finally agreed upon. That codename was Storm.
All was said and done and Batman had come to pick him up and bring him to the Watchtower to discuss living arrangements and Jaune meeting the other four proteges.
"You have some impressive stats according to STAR Labs, but that isn't why I'm talking to you right now. You don't exactly have a place to live right now or money, So tonight you're going to be staying with Red Tornado, an android member of the Justice League. He will be watching over you while I have someone buy you new clothes. How tall are you? Batman questioned him after a long speech.
"6'4 out of armor and 6'6 in my armor." Jaune responded.
While Jaune was in Remnant he may have been 6'1 but during the year at the Afterlife Resort, Jaune had grown a total of three inches and he was more bulk than in Remnant.
"Very well, Tornado will pick you up in around three hours. I'll have your clothes dropped off at the Cave." Batman told him before leaving again.
"What am I supposed to do anyway?" Jaune wondered aloud.
For three entire hours Jaune had no idea on what to do so he improvised. The first half hour he meditated to work on his aura control, the next hour and a half he worked out by doing pushups and situps and the last hour he went back to meditating until Red Tornado would get him.
"Hello, are you Jaune Arc also known as by the aliases Storm?" A red robot asked him.
This apparently was Red Tornado, A tall red robot with no ears or a nose, his mouth and eye sockets were pitch black. Red Tornado also had a yellow T symbol on his chest and blue cape.
"Umm yeah, I'm Jaune nice to meet you." Jaune greeted the red android.
"I am satisfactory, my job right now is to get you settled into the Cave and to explain some of the basic rules that apply to any hero." The android told him.
"Firstly, you should always aim to avoid killing anyone even if they are villains. While they're are accidents, we strongly discourage murder. Do note that your sword is in your room and the only condition we ask that you follow in regards to it are to use it only for anything but murder and causing severe injuries purposely. Do you understand?" Red Tornado told him before ending off with a question.
"Yeah." Jaune replied.
"Very well, Secondly we ask that you do your best to uphold proper values of a hero and to act accordingly. This is to make sure that you not only do you not slander your own reputation but ours as well, your actions will affect us as well and the faith that the civilians have in us." Red Tornado listed off the second rule.
"Lastly, we ask that you never betray any member or secrets of the Justice League or a protege. This includes, family, secrets, identity, locations and abilities. Do you understand Storm?" Tornado listed off the final rule and ended it with a question once more.
"I promise to follow the rules." Jaune repeated back to the android hero.
"Very well, follow me to the Cave." Tornado beckoned Jaune to follow as they both went through the Zeta-Tube.
Jaune had just exited the Zeta-Tube when he took in the site of the Cave. A large hollow space with some highly advanced equipment that Jaune would never understand, a small body of water and some hallways that led elsewhere. There was also a large pile of clothes in bags and some that were falling out of the bags, the pile had an envelope in the middle that read "Jaune".
"I do believe those belong to you." Red Tornado quipped.
'Jeez how did you figure it out, I never would have guessed.' Jaune inwardly thought.
"Yep those are mine." Jaune retorted as he started piling them together.
"The living quarters are down the hall, feel free to take your pic at which one you would prefer. Also the rooms that you should probably take note as the most important besides the living quarters are the kitchen and the showers. You should probably get ready for bed now, Batman will want to see if you can fight and what your current level of education is." Red Tornado informed Jaune before walking away.
Jaune decided that he should make multiple trips to the living quarters to deposit his clothes. When he first arrived near the living quarters, Jaune had chosen a large blue room to call his own, the many clothes that he put in the closet were finally all there after many trips around the Cave and getting lost.
Jaune had eventually fallen asleep after his final trip of getting lost in the name of finding his room. It truly seemed like he would become a hero after all.
A.N Chapter 4 is up. Sorry this took so long to upload.
I'm going to confirm that Jaune will return to Remnant briefly after the first season of young justice.
Hope you guys like the chapter and the story so far.
