Alright, here is chapter four. Enjoy!
Oh and I did my research and made a mistake with the Earth-16 Timeline; this story will take place in the year 2018 instead, again, one year after the events of "Young Justice; Invasion."
Chris and Martin had their eyes shut; they never traveled via zeta transmission before. They kept their eyes closed, unsure they were, until they heard a female voice speak.
?: Hey, you're... out of the Zeta portal, you can open your eyes now.
The two opened their eyes. The first thing they was a beautiful sunrise in what looked like Metropolis. They were looking through a window from the second story of a building. They turned around and saw the room they were in it was a fairly large room. The walls were the pale warm tint of the sunset color. Three of the walls had two medium sized windows and the fourth wall had a large computer terminal and a mirror. Next to the computer was a young woman standing there.
She looked like she just turned 21, two years older than Martin. The Kratt bros. assumed that this was Miss Martian; She had green skin, short red hair (short in terms of female hair; it went town to just above/near her neck), red eyes, and freckles on her cheeks below her eyes. She was wearing a black uniform with a red fabric that formed an "X" around the chest (Similar to the Martian Manhunter) as well as a belt. She walked up to them.
M'gann: You two must be the Wild Kratts, right? I'm M'gann, a.k.a. Miss Martian.
Chris: (A little shy talking to a popular superhero) Um... hi.
Martin: (A little more shy... She was cute.) (This [] Means thoughts) [Martin, you have a girlfriend. Martin, you have a girlfriend. Martin, you have a girlfriend.] N-nice to meet you.
M'gann: So... you two will need some clothes before you leave right?
The two looked down and felt embarrassed; they forgot that they were only in boxers.
Chris: Uh... yeah.
Martin: heheh.
M'gann don't worry ill handle it. (She took out two pieces of cloth that looked like they could be worn around the neck) Just put these around your necks, okay? (The boys each took one of the cloths and placed them around their necks) Okay stay still.
She looked like she was about to use her powers she looked at Martin and stopped, wearing this speechless expression on her face. Chris was confused until he looked at Martin and had this weird look on his face.
Martin: What?
Chris: I didn't really notice it until now bro., but you look different.
Martin: huh? (Chris took him to the mirror and he was shocked about.) whoa...
He knew he felt something weird with his face as he traversed the harvester ship, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Now he could see it, his face looked different.
Chris: You look... kinda like Superboy.
Chris was right about that. Every feature on Martin's face matched Superboy's. Even his hair, though still blond, matched Kon-El's hair pattern.
Martin: this is... kinda...
Chris: ...Freaky.
M'gann: (she managed to get out of that little shock) Okay... anyway, back to getting you clothed...
M'gann's eyes began to glow green, implying that she was using her powers. Then the cloth around Chris and Martin's necks began to expand, changing shape and form. Suddenly clothes began to cover them.
Chris was wearing a Green T-shirt with a pair slightly darker green camouflage pants that reached to just past his knees. He was also wore what looked like brown combat shoes.
Martin was wearing a Blue T-shirt with some aqua-colored, baggy cargo pants. On his feet were fresh white sneakers.
Chris: (looking at his new attire in the mirror.) This is pretty cool.
Marin: Yeah. Heheh... by the way, where are we?
M'gann: What do you- ? (realizing that the didn't really know what was going on, just what they heard from Oracle, M'gann does what people call her "trademark facepalm") Hello! Megan! (to the Kratts) okay, so right now we are in a rest room in the MPD (Metropolis Police Department) 3rd Precinct building which is one of the buildings we use as safehouses throughout places like Gotham and Metropolis. (The martian girl then took their hands and taking them out the door. The door led to a hallway that had three more doors as well as an elevator. She then pressed a button and they were going down.) The room we just came out of will be you room if you want. Oh and I almost forgot. You don't have to worry about your tech crew anymore.
Chris: Huh?
M'gann: It was weird but the Zeta signal from the New York HQ actually lured the Tortuga HQ there. The crew over there is helping you friend, Aviva, make a few adjustments to the ship. When they are done they will be on their way here.
Martin: (Sigh) that's a relief.
M'gann: Anyway here is the first floor (the door of the elevator opened revealing what looked like an office room. For those who played the DCUO game its the first room on your right when you enter the MPD Little Bohemia Safehouse from the front door. Unfortunately the office was in shambles it 's do horrible to describe all I can say is that it involves pieces of destroyed furniture.) … or what's left of it... WALLY!
A blur appeared out of nowhere. The next thing the Kratts knew they were looking directly at Kid Flash, wearing his signature yellow costume (This is Earth-16 Based so Wally is still the Kid Flash in this.)
Wally: Hey M'gann, if it's about the mess then there's already a cleanup crew on their way over h- (He caught sight of Martin and clearly thought he was someone else.) Uh dude, since when did you dye your hair Blond?
Martin: Huh?
M'gann: Uh... Wally (resigned tone) that's not Kon-El. This is Martin. You know... (smiles as if she was expecting a typical reaction from wally) Martin Kratt?
Wally: Huh (he looks at Martin for a sec and realizes it not Superboy) Oh... sorry man I just thought- wait. Martin? As... in...
Wally looked at Martin with a near-black expression then stared at Chris. Then it dawned on him. His face slowly beginning to show that fan-meets-idol kind of expression.
Wally: No... way... y-y-y You're the W-Wild Kratts! I can't believe it I-I... (he immediately left with his super speed and then came back with a clipboard and pen) C-can I have your a-autographs?
Funny isn't it? The bros. Just stood there shocked.
Chris: You want...
Martin: OUR autographs?
Wally: (gaining a little confidence to talk) Well y-yeah! We maybe Justice League members, but you guys are famous to us.
Chris: W-wow. I had no idea.
Wally: (Wally's earpiece began to beep, meaning he was getting a call he answered it.) Yeah? … What? Where? Alright I'll be there! (he ends the call) Heh, I guess those autographs will have to wait; I'm needed at the Queensland Boardwalk. Later! (and with that he ran out of the room at breakneck speed).
M'gann: (sigh) And that was Wally. Anyway moving on.
M'gann showed them practically ever inch of the MPD building the main area, the prisoner area, the mailbox room (complete with mission holograms, holoscreen mailboxes, and a teleporter to the Justice League Watchtower) and a medical area (behind where the vendors from the game would be.
Several minutes later they were back in the main area on the first floor.
Martin: This place is pretty cool.
Chris: Yeah, it really is.
?: Martin!
Martin: huh? (He turned around and immediately felt the urge to gasp for breath) Whoa!
Kitty just appeared out of nowhere and hugged Martin like there was no tomorrow.
Kitty: I just got a call from that Oracle woman that you would be here. Are you alright? A-Are you hurt? Are y-?
Martin: Kitty, I'm happy to see you too, but I can't breathe!
Kitty: (Realizing she was suffocating her boyfriend) Oh! (lets go) Sorry.
Martin: It's okay Laura. Heh.
Kitty: (noticing Martin's face) Uh... Martin?
Martin: It's my face isn't it? (putting on a goofy grin... if you can imagine that kind of expression on Connor's face) I'm gonna look like this from now on... heheh.
Kitty: Oh... okay...
Martin: What (playfully) you don't like it?
Kitty: Well... (smiling back at her beloved) it does make you look a bit cuter.
Chris just stood there and smiled at the two. That's the thing about these two. They almost always seem to put a positive backspin on bad situations or at least mild ones like this. The two moved their heads closer... they were about to kiss...
?: M'gann!
That interrupted their kiss. The turned to see some sort of weird, humanoid, fish- thing. It walking towards them. Chris and Martin immediately recognized him as La'gaan a.k.a, Lagoon boy Miss Martian's boyfriend.
La'gaan: Babe, Kid Flash just called. He says he want back up ASAP. (That got the Kratts attention, alright. Especially considering that they were just talking to him a half hour ago.)
M'gann: What? But we can't send any backup. Everyone we would have available is out on missions.
Martin suddenly began to smile.
Kitty: Martin? What's with the smile?
Chris: … (just realizing what Martin was thinking) Martin, what are you about to do?
La'gaan: (Martin take one step closer so as to get their attention) What about Impulse? (He can't leave right? The time machine he came with was a one-way trip.)
M'gann: In Central City, dealing with Captain Boomerang.
La'gaan: (Martin stepping closer) Artemis? (In this timeline of mine, when the team stopped the Light, Kaldur'ahm a.k.a the second Black Manta was able to drop his double-agent role and go back to being Aqualad. Artemis no longer needed to pretend that she was dead.)
M'gann: In Gotham with Nightwing tending to the new heroes there.
La'gaan: (Martin now standing next to them) Well we need to send in someone. (Noticing Martin) Hey, were busy.
Martin: [Jeez what a jerk] (Lagoon boy is just desperate. He usually just acts like a jerk). Oh for the love of fudge! Pick us! (pulling Chris toward him) We'll go and help Kid Flash.
Chris: (frowns) [And that answers that]
La'gaan: Uh... I admire your enthusiasm, but-
Martin: (frustratingly determined) Please! I mean, we just destroyed a Harvester Ship for God's sake!
M'gann and La'gaan just stood there, thinking long and hard about their possibilities at the moment. The Justice League had placed the Young Justice Unit in charge of overseeing all of the new heroes. All of the Juniors were busy elsewhere in the world. Not only that, but if they didn't do something soon. They may end up loosing Wally to one of his foes.
Then at long last they nodded.
M'gann: Alright
Chris/Martin: huh?
La'gaan: We'll send you two to save Kid Flash.
The Kratts and Kitty couldn't believe their ears.
Martin: Really?!
La'gaan: Yes.
M'gann: But if you guys are going to play the roles of superheroes, your going to need an alternate attire to wear so that you don't end up revealing who you are to the public.
Chris: Wait, no one knows what happened to us?
M'gann: the official story that was given to the public was just that the Wild Kratts were abducted by Brainiac and that Superman went in and saved them from an otherwise horrible fate.
La'gaan: Only the League, their allies, and your technical team know the truth.
Martin: So... (smiling like a child who's happiest dream just came true) we're going to get our own costumes?
La'gaan: (taking out a pair of iPads and handing them each to Chris and Martin) Start designing.
The bros. Began to choose colors and patterns for their superhero costumes as well as Superhero Names. It took quite a while but they finally found designs that just clicked for them.

M'gann: Alright if you're done you can give those to me, and I'll make your suits.
Chris: Wait a sec. You mean you are going to just make our suits right now?
Martin: How?
M'gann: The same way I made your current clothes (Her eyes glowed green again)
The organic cloth that Chris and Martin were wearing was shifting shape and form again. Slowly but surely, the clothing was turning into what the Kratt bros. knew to be the costumes they just designed. Then they were done M'gann took out a shard o\f what seemed like organic glass and, with her mind powers, turned it into a full length mirror for the Kratt brothers to see their new attire with. The Kratts were really happy with how their costumes came out. Martin actually did these superhero poses in front of the mirror.
Martin: Cool.
Chris: Yeah these costumes are great! (He turned to M'gann, only to find her holding his Creature Pod.) Hey!
M'gann: I'm only using it to contact superman. (holding it up to her ear like a cell phone) Hey there, it's me. I have these two new heroes, the ones who helped destroy the Harvester Ship... yeah they want to go and back up Kid Flash... No you don't understand the rest of the team is two busy to be sent in, and these guys already have costumes on... okay... wait really?! Thanks! (pressing a button on the creature pod, or Cpod for short, and a hardlight image of Superman appeared.)
Superman: Hello Chris. Martin.
Chris: Superman!
Superman: Are you really that surprised to see me again?
Chris: (Smiling with modesty) well...
Superman: Anyway, let me just bring you up to speed. Gorilla Grodd has launched an attack on Metropolis' Little Bohemia district his forces are centered near the Queensland boardwalk. The streets there have been overrun by his gorilla army, and both devolution units and neural arrays are being installed throughout the area so that Grodd can transform the populace into his personal mind-controlled ape servants. I want you to go to the beach just near here and there and fend off the troopers attacking the area. Do that, and await further instructions. Superman, out. (and with that the transmission ended)
M'gann: (handing Chris back his Cpod back) Alright you know what to do. (pointing toward the exit) the door out is just through here. Good luck.
Martin: (to Kitty) you'll be here when I get back right?
Kitty: Off course. Please be careful you two.
Chris: Don't worry, we will.
Chris and Martin proceeded to the exit. The two were wondering what was behind that door; they have never been to Metropolis before. Kitty went back to the office area. M'gann and La'gaan began to talk via mental link. (From now on I will be using these {} for telepathic conversations.
La'gaan: {Are you sure about this?}
M'gann: {Not really, but what choice do we have?}
La'gaan: {You've got a point there Angelfish. (The cute little pet-name La'gaan calls her)}
M'gann: {Besides I think that they will be able to save Wally.}
La'gaan: {… I hope your right.}
Authors Note: Good Chapter right? Anyway... review review REVIEW!
