"This is Lois Lane from The Daily Planet, recording to you live from the US-Justice League Peace Summit hosted by Wayne Enterprise in New York. We are just arriving on scene where various members of the Justice League Elite are just now arriving."

As she announced this, the cameraman panned his lens upward where several members cloaked in uniform could be seen descending from the sky. Lois grimaced at the sight of Superman. Job aside, Superman didn't deserve to be here. Having been saved by him on multiple occasions, she couldn't help but feel a soft spot for the man of steel. She cleared her throat, quickly hiding her own displeasure as she continued with her story. "The conference was called to discuss superhumans and what regulations should be put upon them to ensure public safety. Since the creation of the Justice League, superhuman-caused crime and destruction has increased exponentially. Countless lives have been lost, such as the unfortunate Darkseid Invasion and the notable Washington Elementary School Incident, where a group of school children were tragically lost in the wake of battle. The fights between superhumans have also cost the government millions in clean-up, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. The subject of superhumans has been the topic of controversy for years since they first appeared. The first sightings of superhumans began in the early 20th century and they have long since remained a mystery until recent years. Now, more and more superheroes, and villains, have become more public with their abilities. While most begin as lone vigilantes, in recent years, superheroes have banded together and formed the Justice League to combat world-wide threat. And though, many people will say that these heroes you see today are the saviors of humanity, many, some of which have lost family members to said heroes, will beg to differ. We'll head out now to ask the crowd their opinions on the matter. As you can see, there are many people gathered around. The people range from supporters to protesters-"

"Turn it off."

"I understand your displeasure, however, we must watch this all the way through."

"Are you kidding me? Just so we can watch how much people hate us?"

"Believe us. We already know."

"It is important to understand their sentiments," Aqualad announced sternly, his clear voice resonating through the tiny room as he attempted to cool the four glaring superhumans before him. He continued, "This is a dramatic defining point for the future of the world, and for ourselves.

"Stuff it, fish breath. You live down in the ocean where they can't touch you. You have no idea what it's like up here," a girl with long, brunette hair pulled back into a ponytail snapped at him. She crossed her arms and turned away from him, frowning deeply. Her brown eyes found a protester on screen and glared at him vehemently.

"You're right, Green Lantern. I don't," Aqualad allowed her comment to pass over him as he stepped a bit closer. "But I do understand your anger when you see your mentors being yelled at and ridiculed like they are."

The room went silent as the five, young heroes agreed and simmered in their anger. Aqualad breathed deeply, trying to keep his cool as he too became annoyed by the taunts of protesters on screen.

"What do they know? They never fought for their life like we have. How do they expect us to put down villains if they start restraining us with laws? Do they think people like the Joker are just going to play along?" Robin sneered, working himself up as GL finally clicked the television on mute.

"They're cowards," Red Arrow fumed in a corner with his arms crossed. He stared away from the group, out a rusted window of the apartment they were in and glared down at the people he could see from the alley way.

"For good reason," Aqualad spoke up again, releasing the fist he had unconsciously made. "While I can't help but resent the opposing public for their harsh criticisms, and I personally reject the idea of superhuman reforms, I cannot ignore the fact that heroes have killed in the line of duty. Shouldn't their fear, then, be justified?"

"We save their butts all day," Kid Flash countered angrily, curling up into a hunched ball of anger from where he sat. Though he had much more to say, he went quiet with the rest. Despite the public criticism they all endured the past year, they all knew Aqualad had a point, and they all shared a sense of guilt for the lives unjustly lost.

Silence lapsed between them for a long time, each within their own thoughts and musings on the matter. Finally, with a grunt of disgust, GL threw her arms down and stomped towards the front door. "Forget this. I'm not staying here and waiting for the adults to make a decision.

"Green Lantern, wait. Where are you going?" Aqualad asked before she could make it outside.

"Out? Blow off some steam or something," she said, gritting her teeth and frowning as she tightened her hand into a fist. She didn't look back at them as she wordlessly opened the door to leave.

"I'll go with you," Red Arrow volunteered and pushed himself off the sill of the window.

Robin joined them quietly, re-adjusting his sunshades since the five them were currently undercover. KF also joined them the next second as they gathered in the doorway. The four of them looked back to Aqualad, expecting him to come along.

"So that's it then," Aqualad sighed and resigned himself to go with them. The five headed downstairs, the shabby, stain-filled stairs creaking below them. They walked out into the lobby and towards the door, immediately smelling the scent of discarded alcohol and piss as they opened the apartment gate. Brushing it off, they set out around the block where a convenience store shown like a bright light in the dark and empty streets.

They entered the store silently, breaking off to buy drinks and snacks, whatever their heart desired. They paid together quietly and walked out with their goods. They went around the corner to the side of the building and huddled together in a group, diving into their spoils.

"This blows," Kid huffed in between bites as he dug into his bag of chips.

"No one's saying we like it, Kid," Green Lantern shot back, as she leaned against the wall, sipping a green soda through a straw.

"Then can we really do nothing? Is the only thing we can do just stand here?" Kid vented from where he sat against the lot.

"No," Red Arrow said, opening up a can of beer with a pop and chugging down about half. "We can start preparing for the worst possible outcome."

"Which is?" Robin asked pointedly, raising a hand in question.

"Superhumans become outlawed. We'll be forced to lead normal lives," Red Arrow hypothesized, sending the group on edge at his analysis.

"No way," Robin stood up with a defiant expression. "Batman would never let that happen."

"It's not up to him," Red Arrow countered and sipped more of his beer. "But I agree with you. A lot of members of the League, including me, wouldn't give up fighting, even if it was outlawed. But to do so would make us criminals. Are you willing to do that? Become an enemy of the state just so you can fight crime?"

"If it means taking down bad guys? Yes," Robin narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms in reply.

"Like they could even catch me," KF chimed in drearily.

"I hope you keep that in mind then," Red Arrow shrugged, internally congratulating the two for their determination.

"Hey kids!" a rough voice interrupted them then. The group turned, spying six men approaching them from an alley with less than good intentions. "You lost?"

Red Arrow laughed and stood up upon their arrival. He chugged down the remainder of his beer and tossed the can aside as his colleagues circled around him, getting ready for a fight. He smirked and started punching his fist into his other hand, staring down the hoodlums as they came closer and brandished weapons. "You boys just made our day."

"So how'd your little peace summit go?" Red Arrow taunted as Batman entered the apartment, instantly drawing everyone's attention. The summit lasted much longer than expected, running two days later than planned to have everything discussed. The dark knight narrowed his eyes at Red Arrow, but ultimately, let the comment slide.

"Two things have been decided. One, a new section of government will be formed to regulate superhumans and their abilities."

He held up a hand, halting their chorus of protests. "Secondly, a school for superhumans is to be made so kids like you can learn how to control their powers."

"Do they think they can control us with a school?" Red Arrow scoffed.

"It's meant to register superhumans and study their powers. I suspect they intend the school to work as try outs, for superhumans capable of carrying out their own agendas, and for getting rid of potential threats," Batman revealed darkly.

"Just who do they expect is going to join this school?"

"The League has stepped in to teach students and combat personal agendas of the government. Red Tornado and Black Canary will be joining the school as teachers. As of now, the school is non-mandatory. Only superhumans who volunteer to attend are being enrolled. For you five, that is a different story."

"No way," Green Lantern said, her draw dropping in disbelief.

"Don't say it, Batsy," KF warned, scooting as far away in his seat as he could.

"To show our good will and hope to work together towards a better future, the five of you will be attending the school's opening."

"Not happening," Red Arrow announced, almost red in his anger at the news.

"Superhero school? We're already superheroes," KF argued, receiving agreeing nods from his teammates.

"The discussion of the matter is closed. You're each to report back to your mentors. You can take your grievings out on them. Dismissed."

Jan. 10, 2017. 10:30 pm.

"Dad," a tall, slim-toned girl said as she stood in the doorway of their small cabin. She stood silently against the door frame, a troubled expression on her face as she watched her father sit up quickly upon her arrival. The news was on and she could tell by his posture alone that he was deeply troubled. He turned at the sound of her voice, his countenance betraying everything he was thinking. Frankie inwardly flinched at his expression. He was scared for her.

"Hey, chipmunk." He cleared his throat and tried to recover himself. Frankie looked down guiltily, but smiled to herself all the same. He gave her that nickname when she was kid. Her parents told her that when she was very young and they would go hiking, she had such a natural affinity among the woods unlike anyone they had ever seen. One day, they said a chipmunk had come right up to her, They said it didn't leave her side until they got back to the city. Since then, they called her chipmunk.

Her father quickly turned off the TV, wanting to shield his daughter from the chaos going on in the outside world. The room fell silent between them, neither knowing what to say.

"You hungry? Explore any cool caves today?" Her dad started weakly, hoping to ease the tension in the room.

"Dad, I need to talk to you about something."

Her father closed his eyes, stopping in the kitchen doorway. He felt a weight in his chest as he instantly knew where this was going. He bit his lip, biting back an immediate 'no' from spilling out. Every bone in his body wanted to reject what she was about to say and take her back home to the reservation where she grew up, where he knew she was safe. But he knew his daughter better than that.

"Don't tell me. You fell in love and now you're running away and getting hitched?" He joked, again trying to lighten the situation.

Frankie clenched her teeth hard, steeling her resolve in her decision. "I'm leaving, Dad."

He flinched as if he had just been slapped. Even though he knew what she would say, he couldn't hide the stricken look on his face. Avoiding his daughter's burning green eyes, he shifted uncomfortably in the doorway. "Damn, I was really hoping it was the other one."

"Dad," Frankie said, hoping he would start taking things seriously soon, She clenched her fists tightly, feeling tears begin to well up in her eyes. Normally, she was nothing like this. In fact, the only time she had shed her rough exterior was when her mom died and her dad moved them to California. She was being completely uncharacteristic, but in this moment, she only felt scared and weak.

"There's nothing I can do to stop you, is there?" Her dad guessed in a defeated tone, finally meeting her gaze.

Frankie could only nod, afraid if she opened her mouth, he'd here the trembling in her voice.

"It's dangerous out there, Frankie. Especially now. There's talk of internment camps for goodness sake!"

Frankie looked away as her father raised his voice. He was just as scared for her as she was for him. Since her mom died, the two of them were all they had. They lived in the mountains, far away from any foreign contact. The idea of leaving her sheltered life, and leaving her dad alone, gave her great pain, but she had made her decision.

"Frankie, I don't get why you can't just stay here in the park and lead a simple life. There's no heroes and villains here. No news outlets, no press. You could grow old here and use your powers freely if you wanted. Why reveal yourself to those vultures now? You're too young to go out into the world by yourself! You're in highschool, you're graduating in a year."

"Dad. I thought a lot about this. The school will teach me things I can't learn on my own. If I'm going to make this world a better place, I'm going to need that kind of knowledge. And if this whole superhuman issue is going to get resolved, people will want to see a person like me subtly making the world better for mankind without going around destroying buildings!" Frankie pleaded and took a deep breath, steadying herself. She felt her confidence grow, now that she was able to put a word in.

"Frankie, it's too dangerous!"

"Dad, I'm not trying to be a superhero!" Frankie shouted back, determined to defend her position. "I only want to make the world a better place like you and Mom. My abilities and the knowledge you gave me can help with that. I'm not going to run around in brightly colored tights and fight supervillains. I'm just going to school."

Her dad sighed angrily, turning away from her and slumping his shoulders in defeat. He groaned a little, his hand grazing over the silver-spattered hair as he rubbed his head roughly. "I don't know where you get it from, Frankie. Your mom was a bit of a spitfire herself, but her flame never burned as brightly as yours."

"I'll be careful," Frankie replied, her nerve falling as she began to say goodbye. "You just take care of yourself, okay?"

Frankie's dad smiled slightly and moved forward to scoop his daughter into a giant hug. "What do you think is going to happen in these woods? I'm safe as can be."

"That's not what I mean," Frankie mumbled into him, her face pressed somewhere between his chest and arm as she hugged him close.

Her father sighed again and hugged her tighter, resting his chin atop her head. "Alright, Chipmunk. I'll be careful. The same goes for you too. I don't want to hear about my wild daughter running loose on the streets in a cape, you hear?"

"Ugh, as if. Do you really think I'd be caught dead in one of those outfits?"

He smiled. "Well you never know."

The two parted slightly, her dad keeping his hands on his daughter's shoulders while she stepped back to wipe a stray tear. He smiled down at her, his heart swelling with pride for the girl he had raised. He was damn sure if her mother were still around, she'd be proud of their daughter too.

"I'm only two hours away, just down the coast," Frankie said, as if that would make him worry any less.

"I know. I'll be sure to visit soon and see how you're adjusting," he nodded, before adding, "Frankie, do me a favor and make a friend or two on your first day? Don't be too rough with them."

Frankie turned away, her cheeks turning a soft pink against the tan of her skin. "Alright, I'll try."

"You will," her father reprimanded sternly. Frankie simmered quietly before repeating him.

"Fine."

"Good girl."

"I'm going to miss you, Dad." Frankie's scowl quickly became a frown as she struggled to push down her tears.

"I'm going to miss you too, Frankie." He pulled her in for a hug one last time. He felt her pull away and looked down at her. She was keeping her head down, using her bangs to cover her undoubtedly, sniveling face. She sniffed quickly, readjusting her bag before turning towards the door of their cabin. She threw open the door and ran outside without another word, slamming it shut behind her. And then, she was gone.

"Helllllloooooo, YouTubers! How are my Summers family? It's your boy, Dorian, coming at you with another video where I react to the US-Justice League Peace Summit and the reforms that came out of it."

"Before I continue, like and subscribe my video and become part of the Summers family. Please, for me?"

The boy in the video laughed and winked at the camera. He was cute, undoubtedly, with dirty blond hair and electric, blue eyes. He smiled charmingly at the camera before continuing on, "So, as you guys all know, I'm a superhuman. I have the power over water. Its pretty cool. I should probably just show you-"

The video cut to him playing with a water gun with some of his friends. It was clearly meant for comedy, which he proved when he laughed and turned to the camera, joking, "Just kidding."

The video then cut to the boys out in the woods where Dorian could clearly be seen controlling a surmountable amount of water. They had expertly filmed the scenario where it looked as if a real battle was going on. While his friends choreographed false attacks against him, Dorian displayed grand displays of tricks which he used to 'eliminate' his enemies. Accompanied by some upbeat music, and Dorian actually looked like he was a star in a hit movie.

The video cut back to the boy alone in his room as he went on to explain his thoughts. "Yeah, so I don't have a secret identity. I don't have anything to hide. My name is Dorian Summers, just turned 16. I live way out in Wisconsin."

He laughed, "Definitely no supervillains here. But I am a superhuman and all the things in the news recently are really going to directly affect me, so I'm going to talk about it right here, in this video."

"Personally, I feel heroes are heroes. They saved the world and a lot of lives countless times. Their whole existence is amazing. Yeah, people get hurt in the process, but when you're going up against villains like Joker and Darkseid, casualties are bound to happen. I think people should be thinking about what would happen if heroes weren't around to stop these villains. A lot more people would be dead. And just trying to stop them by placing laws around them, it's like- weakening the greatest weapon mankind has. It's just- it doesn't make any sense to me."

He laughed and shook his head, giving the camera a bright smile. "I'm sorry guys. I'm trying not to say anything to offend anyone. Like I said, these are just my opinions."

"So yeah, now the Justice League and US government have agreed to work together to build a section of government for the regulations and control of superhumans, and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I mean I trust the man in blue a lot, but giving people like politicians and senators power over what we do makes me a bit worried. Don't get me wrong, I think some great decisions have been made by these people and I trust them- I mean they run our country right?- but as to who will be running this section of government, it has yet to be announced. So I'm probably going to make another video on this subject when more information gets released. I'll link it in the video whenever that happens."

"Moving on, the other thing that came out of this conference is that a school for young superhumans like me is to be established. The goal for that is to register young superhumans and teach them how to control their powers, which I think is awesome. Actually, you guys, I have a surprise for you. I actually enrolled in the school. Starting in a week, I am going to be a student at the League Academy! I'm so psyched for this guys! It's going to be awesome! I can't wait! I'm going to take a little time off from my channel to move and settle in, and then I'll tell you guys all about the school, what it's like, who's there! It's going to be awesome. Check my channel. I'll be uploading it soon. Thank you guys so much for watching. If you liked the video, please give me a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel. I'll see you guys next time!"

A/N:

Hello all, I hope you enjoyed the second chapter. I was able to introduce three new heroes! Since I didn't receive any Japanese branch OCs yet, this chapter is for the American's side. Also, I'm quite interested in writing for new villains as well, so if you have a great villain in mind send them in.

For Dorian's OC I wanted his introduction to be as if you were watching a Youtube video because that's a key point to his character since he is an internet celebrity, hence why his introduction is mostly dialogue.

In other news, I'm also trying to keep events and DC universe villain reference down to a minimum right now. I do want this to be more based on Young Justice television line, so if I make up something or say an out of place cameo it's because I'm trying to avoid DC storylines the best I can haha.

And yeah, that was the second chapter. Next time, I'll be happy to introduce new characters in the school and hopefully I'll get some OCs so I can write for the villain and Japanese line. Thank you guys for reading! Send in your OCs!
