Heylo!

I'm back again :]

Hope you check out my other Young Justice stories, Switching Sides and In Blackest Night. Thanks for your Support!

Dextra2: I'm not really sure...

Kairan1979: Chill, its not the same as her costume now. Her uniform covers the entire torso except for a 55mm space where her belly button is, and i know the concerns you have since this is only the early 20th century.

Water Breather: Maybe. I think its gonna be mostly canon pairings though. Please tell if you want any specific pairings, though it isn't confirmed.

Hope you enjoy this new chapter. A 'new' character already in the series will be introduced.

Please Review!

It brightens my day :]

Chapter 3: A Captain Introduced

Washington D.C., America

July 11, 19:00

Captain Nathaniel Adams, or Captain "Atom", had been working out in the gym, after a day of researching a new prototype weapon, when trouble walked in unannounced. He'd done as per the protocol and saluted immediately.

'Trouble' was Lieutenant Colonel Dinah Lance, and she'd saluted back.

He knew she brought trouble the second she walked through the door – it was a gut feeling – but he'd never expected what she'd requested for him to do.

"Do… what?" His ears were deceiving him, weren't they?

"I know you heard me, Atom. And it isn't a favour; it's an order from Bruce." Dinah crossed her arms over her chest. She was The Black Canary – a deadly legend amongst the enemy.

Atom resisted the urge to groan in front of a superior officer. "So his orders are for me to… baby sit a couple of kids?"

The Canary rolled her eyes. "Just for a while today. I guess you didn't read to memo, huh."

Atom hesitated, looking back at Dinah. "I came back from a mission yesterday and I was researching you-know-what today."

Dinah sighed. "It's about the new team. I don't know what you've heard about them but they're certainly not kids. They're teenagers, and they've already gone through a few missions successfully. I was appointed as their den mother but I have a meeting to attend in a few minutes. Back up was supposed to be Marvel, but he's on a mission in Hawaii. You just need to walk them through dinner without any interference from the main army and that's it."

"Got it. Now just tell me who they are." The captain gave her a look after gulping down some water, rolling his eyes when he saw the look on Canary's face. "You can't expect me to run into a mission headfirst blind!"

"Conner Kent. Wally West. Zatanna Zatara. Artemis Queen. Richard Grayson-Wayne. Roy Harper-Queen. Megan Morse. And Kaldur Curry, their leader." Canary listed smugly, enjoying the look of surprise on Atom's face. "That's all you need to know."

"Those…" He trailed off, eyes widened. Dinah nodded understandingly- she had reacted the same when Bruce first briefed them on his proposal. Standing up, Atom made a face. "Maybe I'll have fun after all."

The canary just shook her head, chuckling. "Maybe. Now go, before I revoke your right to the labs."

Atom smiled, saluting, before walking out of the room, slinging his army coat over his shoulder.

This… would be interesting.

Washington D.C., America

July 11, 19:30

Team Alpha followed behind Captain Nathaniel Adams, chattering to each other in typical teenager fashion. No matter how mature or seasoned the team was, they were all still teenagers at heart.

Zatanna and Megan were talking animatedly about a new television show that had just come out, with Conner and Kaldur trailing behind, while debating on the newest fitness machine in the gym, produced by S.T.A.R Labs. Roy and Artemis were bickering, and Wally and Dick were walking behind them, thoroughly entertained, though by different things.

The captain was wearing a dull green singlet with long, standard issue military pants and a dog tag that hung low from his neck. His outer military blazer was worn loose and open at the front, so half of his badges were covered by his collar.

Dick knew his name sounded familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on exactly where he'd seen it before. He must have been too tired out from the last mission. Dinah Lance, The Black Canary, was supposed to be their guide and direct superior other than Bruce and the other generals, and Richard knew Billy Batson, Captain Marvel, was supposed to be their other caretaker.

This man leading them towards the cafeteria wasn't either of them. Was he part of the main army? Or maybe in their sector? Who exactly was he?

The bird was shaken out of his thoughts by a hand draping over his shoulder – Wally West, his best friend since they were kids. The Speed demon's voice was lowered to a whisper. "I know that look. Is he that hard of a puzzle to crack? I'll just ask him."

Richard, or Robin, as he was fondly called by his mentor and his friends, rolled his eyes with a smile, nodding his go ahead towards the Captain.

Kid Flash shot him a grin before turning his attention towards the man at the front of the group. "Hey, Captain. Who are you? Are you in the main army?"

He stopped walking, turning around while crossing his arms over his chest. He was wearing a small, knowing smirk. "Nathaniel Adams. Isn't it clear?"

"You know what we mean," Robin made a face. "Just tell us so we can all get traught again."

The captain made a face at the mystery word but shrugged, with a knowing smile. "I'll give you a clue."

A bright light suddenly erupted from his chest, blinding the young soldiers temporarily. When it subsided, they were surprised to see that all of the captain's clothes were gone, instead replaced by a white skin tight suit, which seemed to be his skin, with red gloves and boots.

"Woah." Wally's mouth dropped open. The others stared at the transformed captain curiously.

"Oh! I knew I knew you from somewhere!" Robin cackled, smacking his forehead. "Captain Nathaniel Adams, otherwise known as Captain Atom. Expert in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Nuclear Physics and Quantum Physics."

"Hit the spot, Sport." Captain Atom chuckled slightly before another bright flash of light filled the room again, and when it disappeared, the Captain was back to his normal human self.

"Lucky your clothes stay on." Artemis stated, crossing her arms as she gave the captain a once-over. Roy rolled his eyes at her. "Wouldn't you like to see-" But was cut off by a smack to the head from Artemis.

Nathan rolled his eyes as they neared a pair of doors with a sign saying "Cafeteria" above them. "Alright, now there will be other military personnel in the cafeteria, including ones from the main army. So, to upkeep your reputation so far and help them trust you, I suggest you maintain at least a minimum amount of sound-"

He was interrupted by KF, who, delighted by the sight and sound of food, shouted out, "Food!" And ran forward, beginning to collect food from the buffet supplied by the military chefs.

The Captain was pleased to see that he was, at least, not using the superhuman speed he possessed that granted him, and his legendary uncle, their codenames. But, he was not pleased with the fact that the entire cafeteria had turned around and was watching them with hawk eyes.

Dick shrugged when Nathaniel groaned, and went to join his best friend at the buffet table. "Oi, Wait up, Wally! Don't finish everything." The others followed behind, queuing up and slowly going round the buffet table.

Sighing and trailing after them slowly, the captain couldn't help but groan.

It was gonna be a long dinner.

And the rest of that dinner, told from a different perspective, will be up next!

Please stay tuned, and Review! :]

It makes me happyyyyyyy!

Thanks! :]
