So while I was recovering, I took the time to watch Young Justice on Netflix. Man I can't believe I never watched the show before now! It was freaking awesome!

Plus, it's given me a couple ideas for this story. So bonus!

I'm going to be one of those hoping for a third season of Young Justice in the future. (Glad it happened) Hopefully with Raven, Starfire, or Cyborg being added in. Although I think Guardian is a lot like Victor Stone in some ways. So I really wouldn't mind Cyborg not making an appearance in a new Season Three. Sorry bud.

Anyways, I'm hoping you all like this chapter! I'm kind of introducing the Justice League at last! Along with a few other key elements that I'm going to either be blunt with, or hints at. Also, I took a look at how many people have looked at this story so far. *Claps hands* Way to almost give me a heart attack here!


Mailbox Time!

TheDemonAndTheBeast139: Eh, just wanted to leave it all to your naughty imaginations. I'm kind of evil that way if you haven't figured it out already.

that guy too: That kind of is my style, now that I think about it. I can try to limit myself in the future though if you want. As to that idea, I'm not entirely sure about the losing of his animal forms. Although a fusion of the Beast to himself could be done. That's something I'll have to remember for the future.

RPGPersona: Dude, I've watched the show countless times over. I could never see that beginning part happening at all. Raven just doesn't seem to feel that way about her leader in my eyes. Nor does she seem like the person who'd want to step on others feelings, like Starfire's for example, in doing that. As to the rest, I'm glad you were able to once again summarize it in a way I didn't realize I did. And yes, I am feeling a lot better, although this liquid diet I'm still on is killing me (Saw an Olive Garden commercial, almost cried).

Thedas743: Don't worry, I myself could never see Raven ever doing that to Robin, or him to her. So in all honesty, I would never put something like that in a story. Even if it would have increased the plot dramatically. Because despite most of my writing, I try to write the different characters as much into their own character as possible. Taking from both the show, and their comic personalities. I'm glad you like the writing style and comedy, I have to edit the chapter like five to ten times over to get it right at times. And you have better English than you realize.

HornedGoddess: Great! Hope you can say the same for this one! It's kind of dark if you look closely at it.

Bluedog197: Again, it was a pleasure to my eyes to look upon your review. You have me smiling and laughing my good friend. Two things I shouldn't be doing with my now broken jaw, yet the pain is so worth it! I'm looking forward to your kind comments to this chapter! And wishing you a very wonderful day.

Hairul The Nightrage Beast: Oh you have no idea wonderful reviewer. You have no idea at all what is in store for both parties.

Chapter Three: Demoness of Destruction


About 22,300 miles above Earth

We set the scene in a large satellite orbiting the Earth.

The satellite itself doesn't look like much. Just a big heap of malformed rock, with what could pass as an alien tablet sticking out near the top of it. The tablet had strange alien writing on it. The color of the whole satellite was a dull, casual gray.

To the casual observer, it would look merely like a weird shaped asteroid. The only thing that would really stick out to them was the tablet with the strange long blue lines in it's face. Other than that, it looked unimportant.

However, this was no asteroid. Not even close. In fact, it even has a name that most people would recognize in a heartbeat. A name known in most of the households of the world as it is the name of the headquarters of what is supposed to be the best, and biggest league of popular superheroes known to mankind.

The Watchtower.

The Headquarters of the Justice League.

I'd try to give you a detailed description on the whole thing itself, but let's just say our interest lies in a rather large room at the top where the scene we need to see is at. So forgive me if I don't give you greater detail on what lies inside this great heap of rock that is the main headquarters of the Justice League.

The room we set our scene in is a rather strange room. Because of the fact that in three directions, there doesn't appear to be any walls. Just four light tan pillars in the corners, with glowing blue stripes traveling up them. And what appeared to be space rock from the asteroid was running up the backs of these pillars on the outside. Doorways carved in the pillars led to elevators, that in turn led to other parts of the Tower. Now, because there was no walls in between three of the pillars, you could clearly see Outer Space and the Earth in those three directions.

Yes. It was wide open to Outer Space. Don't ask me how they keep the Oxygen (or other gases the alien members of the Justice League breathed) inside. I don't know. Normally, being about 22,300 miles above the Earth, you might think it'd be idiotic of the Justice League for not making their headquarters pressurized from fetching Outer Space. You know, to keep essential things such as air and heat in. Two of the basic things we need to stay alive. Not to mention, keeping out harmful things like ultra strong radiation, space debris, and powerful villains. Again, to keep them alive and all. Finally, to keep everything from being sucked out into the cold heart of space. Again, something to keep everyone alive.

My best guess is an invisible Martian force field. Or maybe magic, or an ancient powerful relic, or whatever other crap the writers can come up with to explain the unusual phenomenon. But I guess it allowed the heroes to have a great view…

...

Anyways, as I said, three sides of the room were wide open to the elements. While a fourth side did have kind of a wall on it. I say kind of because of the fact that it looked more like the side of a rocky mountain of space rock than a normal wall. And because of the fact that there were three advanced pieces of equipment inside it. All in the shape of a tube.

The bottom of each tube was flattened out, making a floor like surface. The height of each at the top of their arches looked to be at a little over ten feet. And looked to go about fifteen feet into the rock.

For those of you that didn't know, these tubes are actually important to the Justice League. They are well known by the name; Zeta Tubes. Developed by scientist Adam Strange. Who came across the technology when an alien from Rann accidentally grabbed him by way of Zeta Beam. Long story short, he was able to set up basic communications and implemented the technology for use of the Justice League. He also kind of fell in love with that alien's daughter, but that's another story.

Zeta Tubes are what the Justice League uses for the members who can't fly up to the station. Like Batman, Flash, you know, those that are mainly human to begin with. And yes, some of those members that could fly up to it use the Tube network at times as well when they're in a hurry. Or if they're just feeling lazy.

You see, their purpose is to teleport a member from one point, to another. Zeta-Beam is another name for this kind of transportation. Although it's basic name is well known as teleportation. They can be used to get from one place to another, as long as that other point has a Zeta Tube for them to walk out of. And if the person using them has the access to use them. Don't want any villains appearing in Headquarters afterall. (It happened once before)

The Justice League has these Tubes hidden all throughout the world. From the Hall of Justice, a well known location, to deep within the jungles of Africa. Heck, they also have them on other worlds in other galaxies. At least, on most of the planets in the extensive Green Lantern database. So the Justice League could go wherever they were needed to protect people and beings.

The only downside they do have is this annoying tendency to announce whenever someone arrives really loudly in a feminine voice. Meaning you can't catch anyone off guard on the other side if they're near the Tube. The pranksters in the League are still trying to find a way to circumvent that little issue...

They also say something like 0-3, or A-0-6 after the name. And your body doesn't exactly reappear until after it's done announcing it. Meaning if any villain was on the other side of the Tube when you came through, you were very likely to be hit literally on arrival. Thus, the location of these tubes remains a closely guarded secret.

All three tubes had the same series of white steps sticking out in front of them, that ended at the bottom of the room about eight feet below. The floor at the bottom of these stairs was mainly light blue in color. And stretched from one side of the room to the other. There was dark blue curved lines etched into the light blue floor here and there. Including one that looks strangely U-shaped in the middle of the room. The curved dark blue lines ran about twenty feet around this U.

Finally, the roof of the huge room appeared to be over a hundred feet up above. Giving one plenty of room to fly around.

And that is the basic description of the room that I can give you. (For a more accurate look, search up Watchtower Young Justice)

Now, those dark blue lines on the ground may only look like part of the decoration. But they do have a purpose I didn't disclose. And for that reason, was the tall dark imposing figure in the room at this moment.

He wore a gray skin tight unitard over his body from his neck to his ankles. He wore black boots that went halfway up his calves and black gloves that went halfway down his arm to his elbow. He wore an extra black armor piece that wrapped around his waist area. With a yellow utility belt resting right above it. He wore a black cape that ended a few inches above the ground, and was connected to a black cowl that covered everything above his neck except his nose and mouth. Two white eyeslits above his eyes was what allowed him to see. His body was also tensed, as if he was holding great amounts of stress inside.

The biggest feature, however, was the black bat emblem on the middle of his chest.

Right now, this figure was standing in the room. His dark gloved hands were barely able to be seen as he typed at near inhuman speeds on a large holographic keyboard in front of him. There was four holographic computer screens side by side in front of him at eye level. Each one located over the dark blue lines from before.

Each screen may have had something different showing on its holographic display. But each different screen had one thing in common. In that what they were all showing were the different worlds on the Green Lantern database.

The things that were being shown on the screens was constantly changing under the masked eyes of this figure. As he captured the information being shown on them faster than what a person would think would be possible.

One second, one of the screens showed what looked like the surface of Mars. Either that, or some other red dust planet in a different galaxy was on the screen. The next second, it was showing what looked like a completely jungle planet. After that, it was showing a view of a planet that looked a lot like Tamaran. And so on, and so forth.

Some of the planets looked mainly unchanged from their original form. This didn't really look like such an important job. Why would this figure be seeming to be looking at all these planets of the Justice League when all of them looked normal?

Then, planets started to show up that were definitely not in their natural form. As in they looked as if they had been devastated by some great unknown force. Even though most of the views were from space, you could clearly see the great fires burning on these worlds. Whenever one of these planets appeared on the screen, you could see the figure pause briefly in his work to push a button far to the right on the keyboard, and then continue with his job.

On some of these planets, it looked like a large hemisphere shaped battle had taken place. As in a portion of the planet was in ruins, but had been spared total destruction. Whenever the cowled figure came across these, he'd again pause in his typing to hit a button to the right of the first. Followed by another button which pulled up a report on the planet's status. Which would then be put in another folder on the far right screen before he continued working again.

Finally, there were a few times were it looked like the planets were in the middle of facing this aggressive enemy. On those planets, you could see beings of every shape and size. Either using weapons of great power to fight back against the flying fiery invaders, or running away from the trail of destructions the ethereal beings left in their wake.

Sometimes, you could even see what looked like members of the Justice League locked in battle with these creatures. From Wonder Woman flying around with her golden lasso wrapped around one. To the Martian Manhunter density shifting in order to avoid what looked to be a large fiery blast.

In one of the last images I'll describe, it showed an image on the surface of some desert world. In the view it gave, it showed a close up of a finishing battle. In it, you could see a large young man, who looked oddly young to be wearing the big S on his chest, jumping high into the air with his fist out in front of him. His fist blocked a fiery blast that was sent his way, before it made contact with the last three fiery beings in the air. The guy on the screen landed on the ground breathing heavily. He took one last look around the area to see where the next group was at, and then took a mighty jump out of view of the screen.

Those things he was fighting, along with the other members of the Justice League, had appeared barely sixteen whole hours ago on these worlds. And in that time, these untamed beings had wrought so much death, destruction, and devastation as to be simply incomprehensible to the human mind. All in the space, of sixteen short hours.

What was capable of causing all that? In such a short amount of time?

Trigon's fire demons.

It seems that even without a master, they are perfectly capable of laying destruction to the universe. The ones the Titans faced before under Slade had merely been holding back. Those ones, out there attacking these planets, weren't holding anything back.

The dark cloaked figure let out another sigh of frustration as another of these planets showed up on a screen. As he paused in his work yet again to do what he felt he had done hundreds of times by now. Which indeed, he had.

Recognized, Superman, 0-1

The dark caped crusader looked over his shoulder at the sound, pausing completely in his work as he did so. He was just in time to see the Zeta Tube on the left in the wall glow a bright yellow. The Man of Steel came stepping out of the Tube. His whole uniform covered in a light layer of ash. You could barely see the S that was supposed to be on his chest.

"The people of Jotunheim?" Batman asked.

Superman shook his head. "I'm sorry to say this. The demons wreaked a great deal of destruction before I arrived. Casualty estimates range somewhere in the hundred millions as of right now. Half the planet will remain completely uninhabitable for the years to come…"

He paused, before he continued. "I did, however, manage to destroy every last fire demon on that piece of rock. None of them were able to escape to other worlds like the last few. And though it may take a long time, the people of Jotunheim will recover." Superman spoke in a firm, yet tired voice.

The dark masked man nodded his head. His body still looking tensed. "While I don't have good memories of the place, it's sad to hear they suffered so much loss. Even if the people we met on it tried to kill us. I wouldn't want to wish their kind of fate on anyone." Batman said in a deep monotone.

Superman took a glance at the screen. "What's the toll so far?" Superman asked him.

The man turned around to pull up a hidden icon he had on the side of the far right screen. Several different numbers could be seen on it when it opened. The dark man started to speak in his monotone again.

"From what I've found, and from the reports and updates I'm receiving from other members, there has been about forty worlds that have been completely destroyed... After your report, that makes 349 planets that have repelled Trigon's forces. Of the destroyed planets, all of them were either colonies, or had colonies elsewhere. So fortunately, their civilizations aren't completely wiped out." The caped man said. Before he paused, and shook his head from side to side.

"However, based on the rough estimates from the reports I've read though, at the bare minimum we're looking at a death toll of a little over one trillion. Another one trillion unaccounted for. And about ten trillion with severe injuries. They still don't know how many are lightly injured or refugees now..."

...

Both of them remained silent for a moment. Superman's mind absorbed the news he had received. A single tear fell down his face, the only thing showing how this news had truly affected him. The dark man seemed to be lost in his own world. Thinking over how useless he felt for having to stay behind to coordinate everyone...

Finally, Superman took a look around the room. He realized something he hadn't seen before. "The others aren't back yet?" He asked.

The dark man seemed to snap out of it, and shook his head. "No, from what I saw, they're still fighting back against what remains of Trigon's forces on other worlds. There's so many that need our help, that I sent most of the Young Justice team out to aid them."

As Batman said this, he got an orange blip on one of his screens. He turned around and let out an irritated sigh. These came up now and then when one of the planets he checked sent an alert. He quickly clicked on it to see what was going on. "There appears to be a large army of these demons entering Rann. *Types on the keyboard* Nobody's in the vicinity to intercept them, and the planet is in the middle of evacuation efforts." He said in his monotone. "Great, just great."

Superman had wanted to ask how his son (or half clone of him, you know, complicated issues and all that) was doing. But at the news of yet another planet in danger, he knew he'd have to wait till later to find out. "I'll go. Their sun is a lot like Earth and Jotunheim's. My powers shouldn't be affected there."

Batman seemed to relax a little out of relief, but almost as quickly he continued typing away. His body tensed back up again. "Good to hear. Report to me when the damage is done." He said monotonously.

The Man of Steel proceeded to float towards the Zeta Tube. Even he looked tired, yet he was ready to finish off a large chunk of what remained of Trigon's forces. Who knows, maybe it could be the last group the League would have to deal with, and they could return and...

Superman stopped, a sudden thought hit him. He turned around to face the tensed dark man. Who was still bringing up more locations on the screen. Now that he thought about it, his friend didn't look stressed as much as he looked to be holding in his anger. He didn't need his X-Ray vision to tell him this. Superman just shook his head at the sight as he remembered why this problem had started in the first place..

'I'm sorry Bruce. I know how much you think this is your fault that you couldn't stop this. I promise you, that after we deal with these demons out there, we will bring the person who is the cause of all this, along with her protector to justice.' Superman thought to himself, before he walked into the Tube. A bright flash of light later, and he was gone. Leaving the dark figure alone in the room again.

There was silence for another thirty minutes. Since typing on a holographic keyboard made no sound. The man identified as the very Batman continued in his work in tracking the destruction, and coordinating his fellow members and young team in spearheading it.

Finally, Batman stopped completely in his work. He had gotten through the whole list of all the known planets that the Justice League knew about, and had alerts set up for every last one of them in case they were attacked by those fire demons. If they were to escape to any of those worlds now, he'd be able to tell immediately, and a Justice Leaguer could be there in less than five minutes.

Still, there was no sound, no movement, no anything, as Batman stood there. He stared unblinking through his masked eyes at the screens, almost daring them to anger him more. Now that his arms weren't moving all over the keyboard, he was shaking. Almost as if he was holding something in…

...

Suddenly, he stormed away from the screens. With no one in front of them, the holographic screens and keyboard flickered in the air before disappearing. If an alert came in, you wouldn't be able to tell until someone activated the screens again. Yet Batman didn't seem to care anymore as he stomped his dark boots on the ground. Making a loud ringing sound as he stormed towards the pillar in the far left corner of the room.

"Roargghhhhhhhh!" BAM! BAM! BAM!

With a roar of rage that contrasted with his normally calm demeanor, he brought his dark gloved fist up and smashed it into the light tan pillar. Over, and over, and over again. Despite the reinforced alloy on the pillar, it started to dent under the force of his infuriated blows.

Batman was enraged. He needed to get this out.

"So many people, dead!" Dents

"So much destruction and chaos!" More dents

"So many innocent people harmed!" How the heck are his human hands doing this!

"And for what!?" Pillar looking like a hammer was pounding on it.

"To satisfy the bloodlust of some demon and his daughter!" I wonder if he can even feel his hands anymore.

"To force us to give up Earth!" Chips of the pillar flying through the air.

"Our homes and families destroyed without them knowing it!" Are his hands bleeding yet?

"And if that weren't bad enough!" Good thing this pillar is thick.

"MY OWN APPRENTICE HARBORED THE VERY DEMONESS ON HIS TEAM THAT SUMMONED THAT DEMON! THE ONE PERSON CAPABLE OF STARTING ALL THIS **** IN THE FIRST PLACE AND HE DID NOTHING TO STOP IT! " One last pounding with both fists at the same time. A groan was heard from the infrastructure.

The dark man collapsed onto the ground. His whole body shook, and tears leaked out from under his mask. Massive waves of guilt was coming off the adult hero now.

This wasn't like him...

"I could have done something. I should have done something. But I just stood off to the side, and trusted my protege with the fate of the universe. Now there's been so much loss…" He barely whispered out.

He didn't openly sob, yet he still silently cried behind his cowl. He let his tears of guilt run down his cheeks onto the floor below.

This was certainly not normal for him.

But this wasn't normal. No one should have to feel the blame for so much.

It was nearing 3 when Batman finally stopped. He calmly got back up off the ground, and brushed himself off before cracking his knuckles. His face was emotionless once again. It was like looking at a robot. It was as if the past thirty minutes or so had never happened, besides the beaten up pillar.

He walked back over to a different dark blue line. He set his hands in front of him in the air, and a holographic keyboard and screen appeared in front of him. Not four, but one. He only typed in a few things, before a video clip was shown.

It was the Teen Titans, when they had been fighting back against Trigon's fire demons. Raven hadn't been in the group. He fast forwarded it until he reached a point where he stopped it completely. Showcasing one part of the battle that held the most interest.

It was the Beast. The demoness's chosen protector. Fighting savagely against the fire demons with a look of bloodlust in its eyes.

Not much was known about demons. Even less was known about half-demons. But what was known, was that when either one was in the real world, they'd choose one person either as a familiar, an anchor in the world, or a protector. Their bodyguard. In some cases, their mate if they happened to fall in love with them. Other than if they chose a familiar, it didn't have to be the moment they first entered said realm. It could happen long before their arrival, or even long afterward. A protector though, like a familiar, acted as an anchor to the realm. If they were somehow cast out of the dimension, they could use their protector's connection to allow themselves access back to it.

When Trigon had came into this realm, his protector had been Slade. But being the foolish idiot he was, he had fired Slade right before his arrival. And then turned all possible recruits on the planet into stone. Leaving no one to protect him when he had been defeated, so he was out. For good.

Raven hadn't chosen anyone before her arrival into this realm to be her protector. Heck, it had taken months before she found the other members of the Teen Titans. During that time, she hadn't chosen anyone as a protector.

She had been aware she could choose a protector, but she didn't want to form that kind of attachment with anyone. That would mean they'd have to get close to her. And getting close to her would risk making her feel. Besides, she didn't need a protector. She was the strongest member of the Teen Titans. No villain, even Slade with the nanobot trick, or Terra when she tried to drown her in mud, had made her body choose a protector.

The change came when the Adonis Beast attacked her, inside the Tower, the place that felt most like home to her. That night, when she had almost been killed in her home, her demon side had made up its mind, and had chosen itself the strongest protector that had been in the vicinity. A protector it knew it could trust at last.

The Beast.

The rest, history.

Batman, however, could have cared less about their history. All he cared about was one thing, he had the identity of her protector. It had taken some research (and some hacking of security in Titan's Tower), but he was sure.

He didn't care that the people of Earth were all fine and unharmed. He didn't care that no one had died on Earth. He didn't care that life was going on normally for their families and other loved ones. He didn't even care that it was the demoness who was responsible for banishing her father from this dimension.

He didn't care. And he wouldn't let the others know either. He'd kept secrets from them before. Why not now?

Many people on other worlds were harmed. There was over a trillion dead, with the number rising. Those that survived would be in the worst of circumstaces for weeks, maybe even months. There was hardly a family on those other worlds that hadn't lost somebody to the demons.

And the demoness had made it all possible. No action, no matter how grand on her part, would sway what was coming next.

"Beware demoness, no one escapes the grips of hell forever." Batman said ominously into the air. Before he turned back around, going to his original position in front of the original four screens. There was no more alerts, and most of the reports from the other leaguers were already starting to come in. Meaning they'd be home soon.

Meaning they'd be able to finally deal with the problem back on Earth. "And that, my damn demoness, is where you and your protector are going to be when all is said and done."

He continued in his work again. Unaware of what he had barely missed hitting on the pillar from before.

A tiny little nanobot. With a small S on it's back.


Author's Notes:

I think this is an appropiate way to end the chapter. So as to all that stuff I talked about on other planets and major battles, that was inspired when Trigon opened that portal and told his demons to go conquer the universe. They never really went into detail about that part, so I thought I could put my own twist on it. How even with Trigon gone, his demons still carried out his orders to the best of their abilities.

Also, I know some of you were wondering why Beast Boy, or more specifically the Beast, would be important to this story. Why the Justice League would be after the both of them. Well here you are, another theory that could have some validity to it. Could also explain why the Beast thinks of Raven as his mate.

Anyways, I'm hoping you guys liked this chapter. I'm hoping it receives plenty of hype from you guys. Thanks for all those who are favoriting or following this story! And again, thanks to those who take the time to write their thoughts in a review! You guys just have no idea how special those things are to us authors! Continue being awesome wonderful readers!

Till Next Time
