I don't own the Secret Saturdays or Young Justice. If I did I would be traveling the world right now.

Saturday Residence-2010 Friday 5:00 P.M.

Zak was a cool and laid back person most of the time. He could get a bit reckless but he still meant well. So when Batman walked through the doors saying he had questions and wanted answers, Zak could only thing of one thing. Tor run.

In hindsight, that wasn't the best idea. Batman didn't run after Zak for a good few moments, choosing to give him a head start. But when Zak felt something tie around his legs, he tripped over the nearest person. Or in this case, cryptid.

Komodo hissed as Zak pulled both of them to the floor as a loud clank sounded through the room. Zon laughed at their awkward position. "Knock it off Zon." Drew scolded the pre historic bird as they watched Komodo and Zak try to unravel the rope around his feet.

"I'll cut it off when you answer my questions." Batman's gruff voice sounded close to Zak, scaring the poor boy.

Drew placed her hands on her hips as Batman crossed his arms across his broad chest. Drew didn't have her sword with her, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to give the world's greatest detective a piece of her mind.

"Who do you think you are-" Batman cut her off.

"As I stated earlier, my name is Batman. There was news from Australia about weird creatures terrorizing the populace. You wouldn't know anything about that would you?"

The Saturday family froze. They shared a look before Zak shrugged his shoulders.

"What can I say? Coincidences happen." He placed his sweet smile on, trying to dissuade Batman, but Batman being Batman, wasn't affected.

"Have you told anyone about this?" Doc shook his head.

"Have you?" Batman shook his head as well. Batman tossed Zak a batarang, watching the boy clumsily catch it. Doc walked over to both of them, rubbing the back of his head. Drew signed.

"Maybe it would be better if we discussed this in another room."

Saturday Residence-2010 Friday 11:45 P.M.

Batman sat quietly in the main control room with the Saturdays minus the youngest member. The family had informed Batman about Zak and his abilities but Batman had already suspected that the boy was a metahuman. The Saturdays had conveniently left out the part about Zak being the evil reincarnation of Kur as well.

Batman was introduced to the Secret Scientists, who were less than thrilled to hear of the Saturdays latest "screw up." Silence ranged through the room for a good five minutes.

"I would like to invite Zak to join Young Justice."

Young Justice?" Doc and Drew shared a look.

"It's a smaller and quieter version of the league. They do missions with us and we help them develop their abilities."

"You think Zak can't control his powers?" Batman nodded.

"How long would he be away?" Doc asked.

Throughout the night, the Saturdays and Batman argued back and forth on Zak, never realizing that the teen in question was hiding in the next room. Of course Batman knew the boy was listening, but that was beside the point. No matter what the Saturdays had told him, they'd never explain why or how Zak had gotten his abilities.

Being the paranoid man he was, he doubted the story they had concocted. It was possible that Zak could've been simply born with his powers, or had gotten into a chemical accident like Kid Flash, but there was something missing. They even seemed nervous as they told their story.

He made a mental note to himself to check out the boy through his sources when he returned to the batcave. It was dawn by the time they had come to some kind of agreement, but there was still one question.

Would Zak want to join YJ?

Saturday Residence-2010 Saturday 8:00 A.M.

Even though the Saturdays had one of the world's greatest heroes in their home, the atmosphere wasn't tense like people would have expected. It was quite the opposite.

Doc and Batman were discussing something about radiation in the West; while Drew was cooking her famous cheese omelets. Zak and Fisk were making the rolls; when they weren't dousing each other in baking flour. And before coming downstairs, Zak had fed Zon her breakfast outside. Komodo was the only one laying down in the sunlight, enjoying its warmth.

It was only till after breakfast did tension settle in. Zak tried to keep a straight face as his mother took his hand like he was five again. "Zak. We have something important to ask you." Zak nodded keeping his mouth shut for once.

"Zak Saturday, would you be willing to join Young Justice?" Batman asked him. Batman had an impassive face as he took in the teen's seemingly shocked expression.

"What? You're asking little old me-to join Young Justice?" Batman nodded.

"What's Young Justice?" Doc smiled, giving Zak a sly look meaning "we know you know".

"This is so sudden Batman. I need a moment."

…

"Yeah I'll join! I accept!"

Batman allowed a small smile to appear on his face as Zak and the Fiskerton "Fisk" hugged each other in their excitement. It kind of reminded him of when Richard first began Robin.

"Welcome to the team." Was the only response he gave Zak.

?-2010 Saturday 8:30 A.M.

The room was dark. The windows were closed, and old. The room smelled of an odd mixture of iron and sweat with a dash of urine on the side. The first being was feminine, but that was the only distinctive feature about her, except for cat-silted pupils. Her eyes glowed a bright green color as she asked the question on her mind.

"How is the young Kur doing?"

Her voice had a southern tone to it as she kept her face impassive. Her companions kept their heads bowed as she surveyed the area. The women stroked the sleeping feline in her lap as she relaxed in her chair.

"Fine. Batman has offered him a spot on Young Justice as predicted." The voice was feminine as well, but it had a younger quality to it. She wore a shorter cloak, with only her arms showing that they were covered in mesh. The women nodded her head, petting the cat harder.

"Excellent. Keep watch over the boy. And inform Argost I want to see him."

Saturday Residence-2010-Saturday 10:00 A.M.

Like any other teenager, Zak felt that he was getting old for the "did you pack your stuff right" speech, but since Drew was a mom, she just had to triple check to be sure.

"Got your toothbrush?"

"Yes mom."

"Got extra clothes?" Zak signed deeply.

"Yes mom."

"Do you have everyone's number in case of an emergency?"

"Yes mom."

"Got the claw?"

"Mom! I have everything ranging from the Claw to extra clothes. And extra toothpaste. I'll be fine. Stop worrying." Drew pulled Zak against her chest, ruffling his hair.

"As your mother, it's my job to worry. Just promise me you'll be careful, alright?"

…

"Well promise me you'll try to be careful."

"I promise mom." Mother and son embraced each other as Batman and Doc walked in Zak's room. Batman cleared his throat.

"It's time."
