Disclaimer: Is there a character called Dark Angel on the show? Then no.


The gang walked towards the Hall of Justice, surrounded by fans taking pictures and yelling excitedly from behind the red velvet ropes.

"Is that Batman?"

"I see Flash! And Flash Jr!"

"I thought his name was Speedy?"

"No, Speedy is Green Arrow's sidekick!"

"Well that makes no sense..."

Green Arrow leaned towards Speedy. "Ready to see the Inner Sanctum?" He asked.

"Born that way." Speedy replied.

"I'm glad we're all here." Aqualad said.

"Have all four sidekicks-and the newbie- ever been in the same place at the same time?" Kid Flash asked Robin.

"Don't call us sidekicks." Speedy growled. "Not after today."

"And I'm not a newbie. I do happen to have some experience you know." Dark Angel said defiantly.

"Sorry." Kid Flash apologized. "First time at the Hall...I'm a little overwhelmed."

"You're overwhelmed, Freeze was underwhelmed, why isn't anyone ever just whelmed?" Robin asked.

"Maybe because it's not a word?" Dark Angel muttered under her breath.

As they got closer to the Hall they noticed giant gold statues of the original Justice League over the entrance.

"Oh...maybe that's why..." Robin said as the sliding metal doors opened to reveal Red Tornado and Martian Manhunter.

"Robin, Speedy, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Dark Angel." Martian Manhunter acknowledged them. "Welcome." He turned and started walking back inside, everyone else soon followed.

"You know have unlimited access to the gym, our-" Martian Manhunter continued as the doors closed behind them.

"And of course," He said as they walked into the next room, "the library."

The library was a huge room with book shelves lining the walls and two huge glass windows above them, showing more fans taking pictures of everyone.

Flash turned to them and opened his arms. "Make yourselves at home."

Aqualad, Kid Flash and Robin quickly jumped chairs while Speedy glared after them and Dark Angel examined some of the books.

"Quick de-brief to discuss the coincidence of four ice villains attacking on the same day." Batman said to the other members of the Justice League. He turned back to the young superheroes. "We shouldn't be long."

He turned as a small scanner came out and scanned him. "Recognized, Batman, 0-2." It scanned Aquaman. "Aquaman, 0-6." It scanned Flash. "Flash, 0-4." It scanned Green Arrow. "Green Arrow, 0-8." It scanned Martian Manhunter. "Martian Manhunter, 0-7." It scanned Red Tornado. "Red Tornado, 1-6."

Metal doors that said "Justice League Members Only" slid open.

"That's it?" Speedy protested as they were about to enter the room. "You promised us a real look inside, not a glorified back-stage pass."

"It's a first step." Aquaman told him patiently. "You've been granted access few others get."

"Oh really?" Speedy gestured to the onlookers above. "Who cares which side of the glass we are on?"

"Roy," Green Arrow approached him. "You just need to be patient."

"What I need is respect." Speedy protested. He turned towards the other sidekicks sitting behind him. "They're treating us like kids, no, worse...like sidekicks. We deserve better than this."

They all looked at each other then back at him.

"You're kidding right?" Speedy asked them angrily. "You're playing there game? Why? Because you think they are playing fair? No! Today was supposed to be the day. Step one in becoming full-fledged members of the League."

"Well, sure." Kid Flash spoke up. "But I thought step one was a tour of the HQ."

"Except the Hall isn't the real HQ!" Speedy told them, shocking everyone around him. "I bet they never told you, it's just a false front for tourists! And a pit-stop for catching zeta-beam teleporters to the real thing...an orbiting satellite...called the Watchtower."

Green Arrow turned around to see Batman cross his arms and glare at him. "I know, I know," He said. "But I thought maybe we can make an exception?"

Batman's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Or not." Green Arrow said.

"You are not helping your cause here, son." Aquaman said to Speedy. "Stand down or-"

"Or what?" Speedy interrupted. "You'll send me to my room? And I'm not your son! I'm not even his." He looked at Green Arrow. "I thought I was his partner...but not anymore." He took off his hat and threw it down at Green Arrow's feet.

Speedy walked back towards the entrance and glanced at the three sidekicks sitting in their chairs. "I guess they were right about you three. Your not ready." He said to them. "And you," He looked over at Dark Angel. "I hoped that you'd come around, but I see your just as brainwashed as the rest of these sidekicks." He said it as if it were one of the worst things you could ever be. "I guess you do belong here." He finished acidly as he walked briskly out of the library.

Everyone looked after him sadly as one of the screens fired up behind them showing Superman.

"Superman to Justice League. There's been an explosion at project Katmus. It's on fire." He told them.

"I've had my suspicions about Katmus." Batman replied. "This may present the perfect opportunity to-" He was interrupted as another transmission came through.

"Zetaro to Justice League! The (insert unknown word here) is using the Amulet of (another unknown word) to block out the sun! Requesting full League response!"

Batman looked towards Superman. "Superman?"

"It's a small fire." Superman admitted. "Local authorities have it under control."

"Then Katmus can wait." Batman decided and pressed a button. "All Leaguers rendezvous at Zetaro's coordinates. Batman out."

Batman turned to see the four young superheroes walking up to him. "Stay put." He told them.

"What?" Robin protested. "Why?"

"This is a League mission." Aquaman explained.

"Your not trained." Flash added.

"Since when?" Kid Flash asked.

"I meant your not trained to work as part of this team." Flash explained.

"There will be other missions. When you're ready." Aquaman said.

"But for now..." Batman added. "Stay put."

"Glad you didn't bring 'you-know-who.'" Green Arrow said to Martian Manhunter.

"Indeed." He agreed.

The Justice League members walked through the metal doors and left the four kids alone.


A/N: Sorry it's been like a month! But I have a good reason! Yeah, I was...um...kidnapped...by...Starkid! It's true! I found it on YouTube and now I can't stop watching their plays and singing the songs! I also discovered this hilarious manga series called Ouran High School Host Club. And then I found the anime version of it on Netflix and had to watch that! So I have had a busy month...but I promise I will do better. So please review! XD

Another A/N: Sorry, these author notes have been REALLY long lately. But Dark Angel will be more involved as this story progresses but for now it's going to be more like the show. Again...REVIEW!
