A/N: This takes place a year after the events in the prologue. Just pointing that out!

Gotham City
July 4
12:00 E.S.T

It was a beautiful day in the park. The sun was shining, kids were playing, and parents were barbecuing. Suddenly, an icy chill came over everyone. An ice ray shot across the park and covered a man in ice. Soon, everyone was screaming and running around as, one by one, people were getting frozen.

Mr. Freeze stepped onto a large rock and looked down at the family beneath him.

"Enjoying family time?" He asked. He then lowered his ray gun and froze them. "My family has other plans."

Mr. Freeze stepped down and raised his ray gun to shoot another group of people when something suddenly shot out and hit his gun, causing him to stumble and lose his aim.

"Batman." Mr. Freeze said as he started to turn around. "I was wondering when-" He raised his gun to find no one behind him. He looked around wildly as laughing filled the air. He looked up to see Robin come out of no where and jump on his head, causing him to fall onto the ground. As soon as Robin landed he shot out two batarangs at Mr. Freeze, breaking the glass on his helmet.

"Oh, Boy Wonder." Mr. Freeze said as he stood up. "The Bat sent you to drag me off to prison? Frankly I'm underwhelmed."

"Great, but, I'm kind of in a hurry here." Robin said.

"Kids, always in such a rush." Mr. Freeze said. "I prefer to preserve these moments, forever." He raised his gun at Robin.

"Not talking to you." Robin told Mr. Freeze.

Mr. Freeze widened his eyes and looked behind him as Batman jumped from a large rock and flew into him, his fist flying into his head.

Star City
July 4
09:01 P.S.T

Meanwhile, on a bridge in Star City, Freeze Boy jumped into the middle of all the traffic and created an ice wall. Cars, having no time to stop, smashed into it and flew over, hitting other cars as well. Freeze Boy laughed maniacally.

He stopped, however, as arrows flew into him and his wall. And they were beeping. They exploded, demolishing the wall but unfortunately did no damage to Freeze Boy. He looked to the top of the bridge to find Green Arrow and Speedy, already loading up more arrows.

"Finally." Freeze Boy said. "I was wondering what a guy had to do to get a little attention around here!" His arms grew spikes and he shot them toward the two archers.

"Junior's doing this for attention?" Speedy asked Green Arrow as they shot another exploding arrow towards the spikes. But there were too many of them and they jumped from the top to one of the metal rods connecting to the ground.

"I'm telling you now," He continued. "This little distraction better not interfere." He said as they dodged more ice spikes and shot more arrows.

Freeze Boy put up an ice wall in front of him but it was short lived as another arrow shot into it and it exploded. He shot more spikes toward Speedy. Speedy flipped over the spikes, grabbing another arrow. He quickly put it in his bow and shot toward Freeze Boy. It hit him square in the jaw and he flew backwards, getting knocked unconscious.

Green Arrow knelt beside him and chuckled. "Kid had a glass jaw." He said.

"Hilarious." Speedy said, unamused. "Can we go? Today's the day."

Pearl Harbor
July 4
06:02 H.S.T

Freeze Girl shot at Aquaman as he jumped down from the ice covered ship. She finally hit him and most of his body froze. He quickly broke it as Aqualad came up behind him.

"Don't tell me your not excited." Aquaman said as they both ran closer to Freeze Girl.

"Right now, my king, I'm more focused at the matter at hand." Aqualad said.

Freeze Girl continued to shoot at them and they both easily dodged it. Aqualad reached behind his back and grabbed his water-bearers. Freeze Girl shot at him again, this time freezing the water coming out of his water-bearers. Aqualad used this to his advantage and hit her with the ice, knocking her unconscious.

"Well?" Aquaman asked him.

Aqualad turned to him. "Yes I'm excited. Today's the day."

Central City
July 4
11:03 C.S.T

Flash and Kid Flash ran around Captain Cold in circles, disorientating him as he desperately tried to hit one of them with his ice gun.

"Stealing ice? Really?" Flash said. "Isn't that a bit cliche even for Captain Cold?"

"Come on!" Kid Flash said, exasperated. "I don't have time for this!" He lifted his goggles over his face and ran towards Captain Cold.

Captain Cold shot at him but it barely scraped against his shoulder and Kid Flash took his gun. Captain Cold started toward Kid Flash but Flash punched him, knocking him out.

"Calm down, Kid." Flash said.

"Oh, Pu-lease! You'll chat it up with the cops, with bystanders, with Cold even! No, no way! Today's the day!" Kid Flash said.

Washington D.C
July 4
14:00 E.S.T

Robin, Batman, Green Arrow, Speedy, Aquaman, and Aqualad stood outside the Hall of Justice.

"Today's the day." Batman told Robin.

"Welcome to the Hall of Justice." Green Arrow said.

"Headquarters of the Justice League." Aquaman added.

"Aw man!" Kid Flash said as he and Flash ran up behind everyone. "I knew we would be the last one's here!"

"Not quite." Batman said. "There's still someone missing."

At that moment Dark Angel melted out of the shadow of a nearby tree. She had short blonde hair that was styled in a kind of pixie cut. She was wearing a black zip-up vest and black shorts, both with dark purple stripes running down the sides. She was also wearing black, laced up boots that came up slightly past her knees and dark purple gloves that reached to her elbows. She was also wearing a black mask similar to the rest of the sidekicks.

"I'm so sorry I'm late!" She said, running over to them. "Traffic was horrible!" She joked.

The group started walking towards the Hall.

"Note to self: no joking." Dark Angel said to herself.

Kid Flash zoomed over to her. "Hey, you must be the new girl. I'm Kid Flash." He wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "You know, if you're still having some trouble getting the hang of crime fighting, I'd be happy to give you private lessons."

Dark Angel peeled his arm off of her. "Thanks for the offer but...I'm not interested." She turned and walked towards the rest of the group as they moved toward the Hall.

A/N: So what did you guys think? I know it's not much but I thought this would be a good place to end this chapter. Also, I'm just writing this by watching the episodes on YouTube and copying it down from there, so if there is any dialogue or something that I messed up then please feel free to tell me. Please review!
