Animeman; I hoped the message I sent helped you
Dalek; NO! That is just...suicidal. As to Gear...I might or might not, really depends. And again, if I need to kill Wally, I will do that (Or Mas Y Menos, I guess, they have the speed force too, and I wish I had an idea how to add those guys in too, I could say anything I want, but in Spanish)
Now then, to go over a very under thought of candidate. Black Canary. She chose to supervise them, which was a reason to suspect Red Tornado back in the day. She has no true explanation yet as to why, aside for Robin's comments in Schooled, and was there to know about Bialya.
But, let us not forget that the writers of Young Justice like Black Canary. One of them wrote part of an unreleased series on her. For that reason, it seems odd that they would make her evil.
Also, a new theory on Miss Martian. In the comics, she once fought a evil version of herself, who went justice lord in the future (Did I mention this already?). She defeated herself, but part of her consciousness took root in her own. Could this somewhat split personality also apply to Young Justice canon?
Well then, as its been a while, I will use a flashback to remind you guys of the ending. Now then, there are two mystery characters coming up, lets see if you know them? They have some infamy and have some showtime, and not just non speaking cameos, so lets see how it goes.
But for now, we read, and hopefully review.
Unknown Location
With Bizarro now at the Light's HQ, Lex Luthor now had the chance to figure out...why Bizarro came out like this, but Superboy didn't?
They also had to work on another plan; getting the large amount of captured supervillains freed. Hotstreak, Ebon, Count Vertigo, Atomic Skull, Icicle Sr...all operatives of the light.
What they needed, was a sufficient distraction to occupy the Justice League, and a way to protect their operative, Warden Hugo Strange.
Mount Justice 7:30 EST
Flashback to the last chapter's ending
"Its the Enchantress" Zatanna identified, as the woman smiled.
"Another of the Magical Arts...how rare. Zatara's daughter, I believe. You dress too much like the old coot" Enchantress noted her attire "While the skirt's a nice attempt, the Victorian era went out of style a century ago, tell your father to get with the times"
"And that is still in style?" Zatanna noted her corset. Enchantress chuckled.
"Oh, if you think its that kind, your mistaken. Its enchanted not to compress my internal organs...though its enchantment to get me a long term boyfriend is not working" she sighed...before a booming sound was heard.
Turning around, they spotted the huge forms of Holocaust and Black Adam.
"We are so whelmed..." Robin muttered.
Both missions had ended with only partial success... while Team Robin had managed to find the Cadmus location, they had to retreat, for they had no chance of defeating three Superman level villains; Bizarro, Holocaust and Black Adam, and Team Aqualad managed to stop the plot of Ultra Humanite, but the monkey man escaped.
And so, after Batman's chatsisment of their mission, they now had to find something to do with their time...such as movie rental (Bruce Wayne had bought an entire Blockbuster's worth of movies and had them in storage). And so Megan, who had recovered somewhat (though was paler than normal), got introduced to the new team members, she was actually quite fast friends with Terra.
"Wicked Scary!" Terra suggested. Power girl was a fan of horror movies, so she knew a lot of them as well.
"No!" Robin yelled "That movie...Batman saw it once...he says its more terrifying than all the villains he has fought combined" that included the Joker and related company.
"Star Wars!" Megan offered, but everyone had seen the series, or didn't want to.
"The Blue Lagoon!"
SLAP
"OW!"
Do I have to say it
"Free Willy..." Superboy offered with a smirk
"..." Aqualad was not amused.
"Hello Megan the Movie!"
Artemis shivered, she did not like that show
"Oh, what about Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone!" Zatanna offered
Wally scoffed 'Magic...'
SLAP
"OW!"
"You know, here's a question, Mr. Science, how do Zatarra and Zatanna do what they do if magic doesn't exist!" she hissed, the spitfire did.
"You see..."
Censored for extreme boring commentary.
...
"You know...we need a name for our team" Robin noted after a few more minutes of arguing over the movie.
"The team works fine" Superboy said in a minimalist fashion.
"What about, Young Justice" Rocket offered
"That sounds like we're just the junior justice league...its an insult that Red Arrow would use" Artemis scoffed.
"Teen Titans...its epic, its cool...and we're all teens" Wally grinned
"I'm 48"
"Teens...in human years?"
"Eh...we're think about it"
The Watchtower; again does Space have a time zone
In a meeting room, we find Batman, Icon, Wonder Woman, Power Girl, Zatarra, Martian Manhunter and Red Tornado in deep discussion.
"A mole?" Power Girl frowned, worried about the possibility. Could that put Terra in danger? She could tell Zatarra and Icon had similar thoughts.
"The rumor was brought up to Aqualad by the villain Sportsmaster, which was aided in validity by his information on the Biyalian mission"
"There was original suspicion about myself being the mole" Red Tornado noted "However, my departure was to track T.O Morrow...it was, not fully computed"
"The mole, if he or she exists, is part of the reason I had three new members join the team, members who have nearly no chance of being the mole. They will be able to possibly notice any behaviors that the others might not because of their history" and friendship. It is easier for an observer to spot things than someone who was used to them...
"Terra, is not a help then" Power Girl sighed "She's a Stratan, a race that exists underground who has practically given up negative emotion. She doesn't have...the youness to look for that sort of thing" she commented to Batman.
"Rocket, though, might..." Icon noted with a frown, as Martian Manhunter regarded him.
"You seem, troubled?"
Icon had the face on him with the seriousness that made him one of the most famous lawyers in the States "Its just, why go to so much trouble, to infiltrate a team of young heroes? What does it gain...how do the candidates make any sense? Robin is your ward, Batman...there is no way that he could have been coerced, or any 9 year old hide that from the world's greatest detective. Kid Flash is the Flash's family, even if the family wasn't so strong the Flash knows him far too personally. Miss Martian...Manhunter you and your niece are a telepathic race. It would be hard to hide that secret, and the reports on her I've read show off far too strong emotional caring to be a traitor. Aqualad, Aquaman has a lot of safeguards on the Conservatory of Sorcery to keep a magic powered aide to Black Manta or Ocean Master, and as a king, Aquaman knows how to read people. Artemis, if she was a mole she'd be too obvious. We all know her secret...and I suspect Robin might know it as well" He looked to Batman for confirmation, who nodded "And Aqualad has some idea. And Superboy...he doesn't have the ability to get any dirt on Superman, the old hard head barely talks to him" Icon shook his head at how his old friend was acting.
"Though Superboy being the mole is the kindest option, as it would be a program in him, a non willing betrayal" Red Tornado noted.
"And who else? Red Tornado is cleared, you guys have that sphere under intense surveillance..., Black Canary...there is no reason for her too, and then Batman..." who scowled
"Okay, Batman the mole is just...absurd" Power Girl sighed.
"Barring a traitor Black Canary, why not just infiltrate the Justice League" Icon noted with a disdained look.
"There is precedent, T.O Morrow wanted me to infiltrate the Justice Society of America" Red Tornado communicated.
"If they choose such a path to target the heroes that the team is mentored by...that's just Batman, Flash, Aquaman, Manhunter...and maybe Green Arrow. True, Captain Marvel, Red Tornado and a bar traitor Black Canary, but you still will have Superman, Wonder Woman, Captain Atom, the Lanterns...the risk does not seem to be worth it"
"Unless...they already have a plan against us in place" Batman concluded darkly as they gave him alarmed looks.
Dakota City 9:00 PM CST
The bustling Midwestern City has long been home to a strong mixed racial culture, that had no real evidence of major race related violence.
That's not to say, that gangs did not exist, but the gangs were of mixed membership; Whites, Blacks, Asians, Latinos, ect.
This got worse when the Big Bang affected many of these Gang Members, and some innocent, with a mutant gene that gave them powers. One of these heroes became one of Dakota's greatest heroes...and he's not even done with High School.
As now, a young Virgil Hawkins, AKA Static, was flying over the night. The young African was one of the premier heroes who was not of the general white skin tone, along with Rocket, Icon (Who was an alien), Hardware and non Dakota native Black Lightning, as well as the Cuban Kobalt and Asian Xombi.
Looking down, however, he spotted a motorcycle enter town, ridden by a hero, a hero who predated Superman.
Static noted the motercycle with a frown, before he flew away. He did have a curfew, after all.
The rider of the cycle briefly looked up at the flying form of Static briefly, before he allowed himself to drift back into his thoughts.
A few weeks ago, he had been asked by a group of heroes to join a new, Hero League, but he had declined. He was a lone wolf, a warrior of solitude.
However, when his town was threatened, he would do what he had to do, and there was a dangerous man in this city, a man who was worse than most villains...well not worse than the Joker, but worse than the mind controlling Gorilla Grodd, worse than the zombie Solomon Grundy, worse than the metal rampages of Metallo, worse than the eco terrorist Ra's al Ghul (He at least had standards and morals).
A villain, who fought the Justice League in their early days as efficiently as any major bad guy; Holocaust, Black Adam, Parasite, Wotan or any other.
His name...
Who is this hero? Who is he chasing? Find out, next time. I will give you a hint, the two of them have appeared in animation before...
