I do not own Young Justice or any DC/ Cartoon Network character.

Fourteen: Reunion Time!

Tim burst awake and began to cough hard while spitting out the black liquid from his lips. A headache gripped him hard and swore at the pain it was giving him. He glanced around at where he was at and saw that he was being watched over by Spoiler and Nightwing. He groaned at being violently put back in his body and looked to see Jason hovering above him in concern.

"Kid, what the hell happened to you?" He asked and Tim slowly got up, swinging his legs off of what he believed to be a couch.

"The black liquid had attempted to capture me and show me hallucinations." He replied and the two heroes blinked at this then sighed, knowing he must be talking to Jason.

"Tim, what did the black liquid show you?" Nightwing demanded and Tim sighed, running his fingers through his messy hair. He glanced away and shrugged, moving off of the bed to stretch.

"It was nothing. Don't worry about it, Dick." He said that caused everyone frown but know he was clearly off.

"You're clearly lying, dumbass." Jason muttered and he snapped around to glare at the ghost.

"Shut up." He hissed and thought abut the man, who claimed to be both him and Batman, chuckling at the fact he claimed to be Tim.

That was not him. He would not end up like that. The black liquid fooled him into believing so.

"Tim, lets talk about the-" Dick began but Tim silenced him by simply walking out of the room to get some fresh air. He ignored their calls for him to stop but he released a sigh of relief and began to see illusions of the man, grinning at him.

"I'm Timothy Drake. You are to be me in the future."

"Look at me, when I speak to you, you little sh*t. I'm you."

"I am what you feared. You have become Batman."

"You are starting to become nothing but a nuisance to everyone. You need to prove them wrong. You are different from everyone."

The man taunted him and he grind his teeth together before snapping out, "How about shutting the hell up? You all are illusions to try and provoke me into becoming one with the black liquid. I'm not friggin' stupid!"

The man's grin suddenly disappeared and replaced him with the black liquid's known figure with black liquid leaking down his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. It grinned at him and he swore at the sight of the figure, getting in position to fight him.

"You are being closer to be broken. What a day it is! You know what is wrong with you! You're breaking! Good! Good! Good! That is what we need! Robin always breaks and falls apart to be forced back together again! Forced together! Break down and brought together! Never ending cycle! You are destined to be broken, Robin! We all are!" The black liquid shouted at him while laughing at the process, the liquid gurgling too.

Tim wanted to scream back at him but continued to watch the figure as it inched towards him.

"We are meant to fall. Richard fell and began anew. Jason fell and ended up dead. Tim fell and…well, we'll see about that won't we?" The figure spoke and Tim narrowed his eyes before frowning. The figure reached towards him until Tim sealed his eyes shut to keep the figure out of his line of vision.

"You think of me so simple? I won't be gone so fast."

But once he opened his eyes, the figure was gone and Jason floated in front of him with a concerned look crossing over his face.

"Kid, you are really concerning me. What the hell are you seeing that is freaking you out?" Jason asked him and Tim sighed before sitting down on a bench, staring at the night sky. Stars glimmered down at him and he observed as he dug around in his pocket to find the packet of cigarettes that he bought. He narrowed his eyes at them before seeing Jason's horrified expression and moved to open the package.

"What does one little cigarette do?"

"What does one little cigarette do?" Tim stated and began to open his mouth to place it between his lips.

Something whacked it out of his hand and he blinked, before seeing Jason's face right up and close to his own. Anger covered his features and his hand showed that he had been the one to smack the cigarette out of his hand.

"It does a crap ton of damage, dumbass! I should know since I did it for seven freakin' years without quitting! It's done too much damage to my body! I already had lung cancer developing when I died!" Jason shouted at him and Tim didn't take notice of Jason's shouting but what had physically happened.

"Uh…how did you do that, Jason?" Tim asked him and Jason blinked at this, confusion written over his face.

"What do you mean? Are you an idiot? You don't need to be like me, dumbass." Jason said but Tim shook his head, staring at Jason with wide eyes.

"You smacked the cigarette out my hand. Physically." Tim stated and Jason blinked before doing a double take, staring at his hand for a second.

"How the hell did I do that?" Jason muttered and even Tim had no clue as to why.

"You're a ghost. It's not possible for you to physically touch something." Tim also stated and tried to think of some possible reason as to how Jason was able to do that.

"…Is it because of me already being partially dipped in the Pits?" Jason suggested but Tim continued to nodded 'no'.

"That wouldn't make any sense. You're a spirit. You're body is back where the Pits are. This doesn't make friggin' sense." Tim replied and Jason continued to stare at the cigarette before snapping his head in the direction of a footsteps. His eyes behind the mask widen at the sight of who walked towards them.

"No way…They all came." He muttered and Tim turned to see what had caught his attention. His eyes also widen at the sight and his mouth gapped open for a second before one figure launched at him.

"Oh my god, it's so nice to meet you!" The girl voice cried and pulled away so he could get a good look of the figure.

The figure happened to be a young woman about eighteen with ink black hair that shined bright in the light and sky blue eyes shined at the sight of him. A ruby lipped grin greeted his vision and she bore a glittering black tank top that bore a good amount of cleavage out with silver bracelets on her arms and silver belt around her waist. The outfit was form fitted to her body and silver moon earrings glimmered. A silver lasso was hung on her hips and she gave him a big smile.

"I'm Troia! My real name though is Donna Troy, Wonder Woman's duplicate! So I heard you've been letting Robin borrow you're body and that we'll be saving him from being resurrected!" The girl said and he nodded before she released her grip on him.

"You're gonna give him a heartache and nosebleed, Donna." Another girl said and he looked to see the girl with short brown hair up to her shoulders while her bangs were clipped back and blue eyes glaring at the girl. She looked around fifteen and held an unamused look on her face. She bore a Flash t-shirt with a jean jacket over it and capri jeans with holes on them along with black converse sneakers. Her arms were crossed over chest and Donna frowned at this before pouting.

"Whatever, Mary, you know you're jealous because you don't have a boyfriend yet." Donna said with a smirk across her face while the brunette, who Tim guessed was Mary, glared at her while also blushing.

"Ladies, you're both beautiful." A boy said who was probably sixteen by the looks of it, with black hair styled much like Elvis's back in the day, and blue eyes smiling bright. He bore a big smile even though he was in a wheelchair and his eyes held sorrow at his state. He bore a blue and white plaid shirt with the buttons undone to show the Superman t-shirt under it was baggy jeans to hide most of his legs.

"You haven't even introduced yourself, Mary. The poor kid has no clue who you are." The boy said and Tim blinked at this while also noting Donna staring up at the sky, now losing interesting in what they were talking about.

"Fine. I'm Mary Bromfield, also known as Sergeant Marvel. This idiot," she pointed to the boy in the wheelchair who waved at him, "is Freddy Freeman, also known as Lieutenant Marvel. He's a pain in the ass but he'll do what is needed of him."

Tim then took noticed of the last figure and gave him a small smile.

"I'm glad you decided to come, Garth." Tim said and Garth, also known as Tempest, gave a him smile while placing a hand on his shoulder. He looked exactly the same as he last saw him with his black hair pulled up and purple eyes holding sorrow after the death of his girlfriend. His outfit consisted of a skin tight red and black swimsuit that covered his entire body with black like boots. He stood much taller than he last remembered, at least a good five or six inches taller than Tim, and much muscle build gained on him.

"Thank you, Robin. I thought this would be a great time to get invested in Young Justice again." Garth told him and he nodded before glancing over Jason who held a large smile across his face.

"They all came back…and just for me too." Jason said and Tim nodded at this.

"Yeah, I'm glad you're happy." Tim told Jason which had the others blink at this, confusion written over their faces.

"Uh…Nightwing did not tell me that you talk to yourself." Freddy said and Tim looked back at him in chagrin before sighing.

"Sorry, I forgot that you guys don't know the entire situation." Tim stated and ran his fingers through his hair, "You see, Jason's body is currently in the hold of Ra's al Ghul and trying to resurrect him. Jason, appeared to me not long ago as a ghost and has been able to possess my body. Only, I have been able to hear him."

Silence took over them at his quick explanation before Donna slowly nodded and looked to him in determination.

"Can we talk to him?" She asked and Tim gulped at this, unsure if he should agree to this. Jason noticed the look Tim took before sighing and shrugged.

"Kid, if you don't want me to, that's fine. We don't want you to get stuck in black liquid." Jason said even though he wanted to go talk to them again but he would risk Tim's safety for his own greedy desires. Tim frowned at this while the others waited for an answer and he closed his eyes before releasing his control over to Jason. His vision went black and he knew that the black liquid took hold of him again but he wanted Jason to have some time to rekindle with his old teammates before he would not see them again.

Jason nearly spat out whatever he ate before hand then started a coughing fit that had the four of them freaking out. He held his hand up to show he was alright before glancing at them, noting that they reminded him of when he told them about his birth mother.

"Hey, I'm fine. Jeez, the kid really needs to give a warnin' if he plans on switching to me. Gives me friggin' whiplash." He muttered and watched as their expressions change. He gave a smirk at them and Mary then launched herself at him, gripping him in a hug.

"You idiot!" She hissed and tears flooded down her face, realizing that Jason was in control of Tim's body.

"I know that I'm one, Mary. I get called that all the time by the kid." Jason said to comfort her and returned the hug.

"So, it's really you." Donna muttered and Jason nodded, noting her expression change to happiness at the realization.

"Yeah…" He said and Freddy returned a smile at him, running his fingers through his hair, "I'm glad to see that you guys wanting to help out. We have a hell lot to talk about."

"Oh yeah, we do." Donna said and he nodded before glancing around to see if Tim decided to appear as a ghost yet was nowhere in sight.

"Son of a bitch," he muttered before noting that Tim must be with the black liquid, "That kid needs to talk with me before doing something this stupid again."

Tim glanced around to see that he could not open his left eye, as it was covered by the black liquid. He knew that if he were to open his eye, something terrible would occur to him. He released a breath and looked around with his right eye, seeing if the black liquid's physical form was anywhere near him.

"You know…by now…what is going…to happen…"

The familiar voice of the black liquid called out but did not show any appearance and left Tim questioning where exactly it was.

"We will…get our vengeance…"

"No, you won't dumbass." Tim hissed at the black liquid before it appeared right before him, its hands nearing his neck to wring him up yet do not wrap them around his neck. He smirked at the figure before it narrowed his eyes and grinned.

"The future…we showed….you…how was it?" It asked him and he blinked at this unsure what it meant by that. Its grin grew even wider and start dot cackle before wrapping its hands around Tim's neck, slowly cutting off the air trying to get into his lungs.

"Aren't you…dumb…? You really…don't know? That…was your…future." The black liquid told him but he instead glared at the figure for his assumption, "Don't believe…me? Fine, another trip…down new…memory lane…it is…"

And without another say, Tim's psyche disappeared yet again to be pushed elsewhere.

Jason paced towards the building that they were planning on getting back his body and saw Miss Martian chatting with Lagoon Boy, heading straight in her direction. He scowled and placed a hand on her shoulder before hissing, "Can you get the black liquid to take control of Tim's body?"

She blinked at this with confusion wrote over her face and Lagoon Boy raised an eyebrow at this.

"What the hell are you-?" Lagoon Boy began until Jason tapped his forehead.

"Tim decided to let me take control but was a dumbass. Now, he's stuck with the black liquid and god knows what the hell it will do to him. I'm worried that he is going to stuck. Make it trade places with me." Jason suggested and Miss Martian frowned at this.

"…I'm worried I might do damage to your's or Tim's psyche if we do this. We were lucky yesterday…" Miss Martian stated before looking behind him to see Donna, Mary, Freddy, and Garth chasing after him while screaming at him too.

"Where the heck are you-?!" Mary screamed before her eyes widen at the sight of Miss Martian and Lagoon Boy.

M'gann blinked at the sight of the four former team members before saying, "You guys all returned?"

Lagoon Boy looked shocked at the sight of Garth and muttered while crossing his legs, "You didn't tell me you were going to come."

Mary looked away before Freddy wheeled himself closer and said, "When we heard what happened to Jason, we knew something needs to be done. We weren't going to sit this one out. Anyways, how has everything been, M'gann? Still looking good as you always-"

Mary proceeded to hit him on the head shut his comment up and said, "Yeah but the important thing is to keep the kid's mentality alright. We don't need another incident."

Jason blinked at the last part being muttered before looking back at Miss Martian, hoping she would agree with him. She looked away and said, "I think we should talk about this with Nightwing."

He scowled and hissed, "We don't have time to go asking for Dickie Bird. Do this now, M'gann."

She narrowed her eyes at his response before asking, "Or what, Robin?"

He brought out a knife from a pocket and placed it to his neck, horror crossing over everyone's features. He knew the kid came prepared for anything and he was glad to have this advantage over everyone.

"The kid's body gets a good cut. Any of ya try to stop me, it'll be too late." He said and M'gann nodded before quickly shutting her eyes, traveling into Jason's psyche.

Without a second later, her eyes shot back open and telepathically shoved everyone away from Jason's body.

"Get back!" M'gann shouted before the black liquid quickly took its place and Tim's body grinned madly at them. The black liquid form coated over Tim's body and waved at all them.

"No…fun…." It spoke to them and M'gann narrowed her eyes as the four former Team members stared at him in confusion.

"What the hell just happened?" Mary hissed and M'gann quickly formed a telekinetic shield around the Team.

"Jason and Tim have a troubled essence that keeps on trying to consume both of their souls, or psyche. This, black liquid, as they call it threatens anyone in its way. It seeks to kill someone…possibly whoever killed Jason. We need to keep it from attacking anyone and hold it back until Jason or Tim returns." M'gann replied and Freddy blinked at this before noting the black liquid was having some of it oozing down its mouth and nose.

"Where do they return from?" Donna asked and the black liquid giggled before launching itself at the field, causing M'gann to flinch at the strength it had.

"The Pits! The Pits! That's where he is! Dead as a doornail! Timbo, is walking through memory lane! Reliving again and again and again!" It cried and attempted to use the knife to pierce the field yet did nothing against it.

"The black liquid's own psyche. It can become one of Tim's or Jason's own psyche in attempt to merge with them. We can't do anything to him because it harms Tim's own body and the psyche of whoever was in control." M'gann claimed and Donna brandished her bracelets, ready to fight.

"I can do that. Would you ask like to get some answers out of the guy too?" She asked and M'gann frowned at this.

"Are you sure you can handle it?" She asked and Donna nodded before the figure tilted its head at her.

"Duplicate! Duplicate! Nothing but a fake! Fake! Fake!" It cried and laughed at her, she narrowed her eyes while anger light up in them.

"Are you sure, I can't hurt a little more than I should?" She asked and M'gann sighed before the force field molded away from Donna to let her go fight.

"Just not to much damage, Donna." M'gann said before Donna headed in to fight the black liquid.

"No promises, M'gann." Donna stated before charging right at him.

Jason gasped for breath and glanced around to see where Tim must be but he was nowhere in his sight. He groaned and noticed that his left eye was covered by the black liquid, making him unable to open it. He scowled and slowly moved his way in any direction he could.

"Friggin' hell, kid. Where are you?" he questioned and before he knew it, the black liquid began rising quite quickly, passing his knees and heading up towards his thighs.

"Timbo, where are you?" The black liquid taunted him and he frowned at this, annoyance written across his face. He looked around find the source yet noting was in his sight.

"He's gone in memory lane. Don't be a pain. He's fine. Or not. Don't know. Do know. Don't care. Do care." It mumbled and he continued pushing his way through the black liquid.

"Go the hell away." Jason mumbled and the black liquid went silent for a few seconds before replying.

"Go the hell away. We don't want you here. We do want you here." It spoke and Jason sighed, confused at the black liquid spoke.

"You're confusing me with your weird ass talks." He said and it went back to silence. He tried to pull himself more out of the liquid yet it did nothing for him.

"JASON…HELP ME!" someone screamed and Jason turned in the direction of where he heard the voice, seeing Tim not to far from him. Only his left eye and mouth remained not coated from the black liquid, he struggled to rip it off but could not do so. He moved towards Tim and the black liquid chuckled around them, causing Jason to scowl even more.

"Damn it all," he muttered before grabbing Tim's struggling hand and pulled.

"Don't do it, Jason!" Tim yelled back which caused him to blink and stare at him for a moment before scowling even more.

"The hell, you talkin' about, kid?" Jason hissed at him and Tim took a breath before casually shoving him away from him.

"The black liquid…you need to get the hell out here, Jason. This…is just an illusion! Its trying to fool you into merging with it! I'm nearly all the way merged with it! Don't be a dumbass! I can figure this out! Just keep in control of my body and when the time comes to get your body back from Ra's, I'll pull back! Just get the hell out of here!" Tim shouted at him before the liquid that was around him began to form around him. Tim's mouth forming a sickening grin and the outlook known to be the black liquid's form.

Blood spilled out of its mouth, missing quite a few teeth and its hair falling out, cascading down to hovering above its eyes. The suit was teared apart with some due to the seas and others from cuts and scratches. It waved a limp broken hand at him and skin partially peeling off to realize black liquid leaking out from the wounds.

"Fooled…ya!" It shouted before launching itself towards Jason and his eyes grew wide, dodging the attack.

"Bastard. Give back, Tim!" He yelled but it began to melt into the liquid that was slowly rising at his feet. He looked around in desperation to find Tim but was only haunted by the black liquid's laughter.

"Timbo, is part of the gang now! Go have fun elsewhere!" It said and Jason sealed his eyes, knowing that this one battle he would have to give up for now.

"I'll get him back, bastard. You will regret everything you have done to the both of us, black liquid." Jason said and then was willed away, returning in control of Tim's body.

Donna smirked as the black liquid's grin slowly faded from its mouth and looked down to its hands, seeing then slowly drip away. It turned to them with a horrified look on its face before launching itself at Donna, screaming.

"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT THAT WE ARE DEAD! WE HAD SO MUCH TO DO BUT YOU KILLED US! WHY?! WHY DID YOU DO THIS?! HOW COULD YOU BETRAYAL US?!" It screamed while gripping her throat him and she struggled to shove it off but its strength overpowered her own. She scowled before it quickly released her and fell to its knees, the black liquid drooling out of its mouth before the suit disappeared into thin air while Tim's appearance returned to normal.

He gagged for breath as the black liquid dripped out of his mouth to form a small puddle and looked up to see the shield dropped. Everyone rushed to his side and Jason frowned at this while wiping the remaining black liquid from his mouth.

"Are you alright?" They asked him and he sighed before nodding, anger and annoyance written over his features. He gripped his fists tight and slowly pushed himself up, seeing the damage that had been done. He released a breath and looked to see M'gann's horrified face, knowing it had done some major damage.

"I'm fine…what did it do?" He asked and Donna ran her fingers over her neck.

"That thing is a beast." Donna responded and he began getting up until Mary stood in front of him, glaring down at him.

"Jason, are you in control?" Mary asked of him and he nodded before she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, "That was completely idiotic of you. Do you have any idea what could have happened? I know it wouldn't have been good. You need to get your crap together."

"You mentioned…another incident about mentality, earlier. What happened when I was gone?" Jason asked in response to her speech and she looked away, anger lighting up in her eyes.

"You remember Kit, right?" she asked and he blinked at this, not sure who that was. She looked away at this before scowling and turning to Freddy who held an angered gaze at her.

"Leave him out of this, Mary." Freddy hissed at her and she narrowed her eyes at this, ignoring his statement.

"Billy never really mentioned him and Freddy hid him from Young Justice. He had the ability to summon anyone he thinks of, Freddy thought that maybe, just, maybe, he could talk to you. Kit agreed because he didn't think anything of it. He summoned you back but you know what happened?" She said and he sealed his eyes, knowing it wasn't going to be good, "You didn't even appear before them. No, he couldn't because next you know, he's suddenly turned insane and shouting things he wouldn't say. He claimed to have seen something he shouldn't have and started wildly swearing. Next thing you know, he's summoning more spirits than he should-!"

Then Freddy shouted, "ENOUGH!"

They all froze at his tone and he looked away, a sadden gaze on his face.

"Leave Kit of this, Mary." Freddy mumbled and run his fingers through his hair, "He's better now. We need to focus on the situation at hand."

"I'm sorry…"Jason mumbled and Mary scowled, looking away, "But the sooner we get this done, you guys can return to your normal lives. All the trouble I have caused…I apologize but we can not allow Ra's al Ghul to resurrect me. The Lazarus Pits would twist my being into something of despicable and mad. And we need to get my soul out of Tim's body before the black liquid completely merges with him. He is willing to stay with it until we get my body back."

They said nothing but he knew they were agreeing with him.

Jason groaned in pain as he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, trying to see if he had done to something to it. He rubbed the aching spot before he remembered something when he was alive.

"Damn that hurts," he muttered and rubbed his aching shoulder while coughing too. He attempted to keep quiet but wasn't very good as Bruce appeared from behind him, staring down at him in worry.

"Are you alright, Jason?" he asked and Jason nodded, before coughing again. This time deep in the chest and blood trickled down his lips, dripping onto the floor. He scowled at this before Bruce forced his way around and frowned at this.

"Did Bane get your chest hard, Jason?" Bruce asked and he nodded, knowing that Bane had repeatedly gotten shots at his chest but it didn't seen like it was that.

"Yeah, I know what to do, Bruce." He replied and Bruce nodded before leaving him to fix himself up. As soon as he left, Jason removed his clothes to check his skin and saw no bruises on his skin. He scowled before swiftly looking up the few symptoms he had been dealing with on his phone and saw the results brightly bolded in the light.

LUNG CANCER.

His eyes grew wide at this sudden realization at how bad the situation was going to and whispered, "It's happening again. Oh my God."

They noticed what he said and Mary's eyes grew wide, instantly knowing what he was talking about.

"You're joking, right? Don't tell me that you're serious." Mary stated and he couldn't help but tremble a little at the sudden occurrence.

"It's gotta be wrong but I don't know." He said and the others held confusion on their gazes.

"Mind telling us what is going on?" Freddy asked and Jason bite his lip at trying to say the truth but Mary got to it before him.

"Jason is giving Tim's body lung cancer."
