Chapter 3: Unexpected Visit

Arsenal had just gotten back from his mission, and he was tired as hell. Dumping his quiver, along with his crossbow and mask on the table, Roy groaned and collapsed onto the slightly worn out couch in his –their – living room.

There had been fifteen krakens and seven giant white sharks to deal with, along with detonating a bomb at the bottom of a sunken world war 2 submarine in the middle of nowhere under the sea, with no backup other than Aquaman.

And now he owed the underwater King a drink.

Just...

Fuck.

And he'd been locked out of his bedroom by Jade. Again.

The wooden door leading to his normal sleeping place, that contained a huge, comfy bed, had been slashed with a 'C' with Jade's old Sais, and it had been stabbed into the wood next to it.

Blame him for falling in love with an ex league of shadows assassin.

The sun was already up, and he could hear Cheshire waking up in their room, although he knew she wasn't coming out soon.

But before he could fall asleep, the doorbell rang.

It rang.

And it didn't go away.

Oh God.

How he wanted it shut up.

Rolling off the couch and snatching open the door, he greeted the people outside with a hostile "Yes!"

And was surprised to find them at his door.

Them, who the Justice League had used to replace the original 7. All of them tested and selected based on their abilities, just to create another clone of the original. It was so Cadmus-like that it made him regret joining them for a while.

There was the new robin, Jason Todd. Wondergirl, Blue Beetle, Beast Boy, Lagoon Boy, Arrowette and Bumblebee.

He'd never really met them in person, though he knew about Robin and Arrowette. Queen had taken a liking to her, though he never took her in. He guessed Oliver finally kept to his promises.

After a short pause, it was Robin who spoke up. "We're here to speak to… Roy Harper?"

"Arsenal." His voice was harsh, slightly from lack of use. He didn't know what they wanted from him and knowing the bat family, it was probably up to no good if it wasn't Batman himself at his door. "What do you want? Did the whole Justice League fall in the hour I was inactive?"

They didn't laugh at the sarcasm in his tone.

Dick would've. Might've. Could've.

If they'd still been here…

If he'd never left them or Oliver. If he'd taken care of them better, not neglected them and showed them a bad example…

Well, no use talking about crap like that anymore.

Bumblebee looked unsure. "…No. We just wanted to ask you a few questions."

"Can we come in?" Arrowette demanded. Impatient. Exactly like Artemis.

Arsenal sighed, before opening the door wide and stepping back. The whole of the New Young Justice crowded inside his small apartment before he slammed close the door and double locked it. Turning around and crossing his arms over his chest, Harper gave them an expecting look. "Well?"

And he hadn't missed the looks they'd sent to his shredded bedroom door either.

"So…" Blue Beetle started, but was cut off by Beast Boy.

"We wanna know who the previous Young Justice was, what they did and what happened to them. I remember them saving me, but I can't remember their faces or anything else. It's driving me crazy!" Garfield said, throwing his hands up. Arrowette rolled her eyes, but patted him on the back.

"…Why do you even want to know?" the archer raised a brow. "You've gone on perfectly fine without knowing who they are. It doesn't seem necessary."

Jason crossed his arms to match Roy's position, scowling slightly at the older vigilante. "Listen up. We were taught by rotating superheroes until a week ago, when Canary came over and started teaching us as a full time instructor. She started acting really weirdly the last few days while sparring with us-"

"Wait wait wait wait…" the previous protégé of Green Arrow leaned forward, dropping his arms. "You said Canary was in Mount Justice. Training, you, of all people… Black Canary."

Lagoon Boy nodded. "She's strong. She was the previous team's full time mentor, wasn't she. Back in the day, I've heard she was almost unstoppable."

"That's nothing compared to…" Arsenal drifted off. "But that's… that's impossible. Canary can't have been there."

"Well, she was," Jason stated, continuing. "We would have asked the other Justice League members but you were the only one on the team previously that hasn't disappeared."

Arsenal shrugged. "Figured."

"So are you gonna tell us?" Wondergirl asked, placing her hands on her hips.

"Depends on exactly what you're asking." Roy explained, leaning on the wall. "Young Justice was formed 12 years ago, disbanded 10 years ago. Made up of Team Leader Aqualad, Kid Flash and the First Robin as original members." At that, he sent meaningful glances at the new Aqualad and Robin. "On their first ever mission, they found Superboy, in Cadmus. Next came Miss Martian, the supposed niece of Martian Manhunter. Artemis was tracked when she saved the team with an arrow. Lastly, Zatanna joined the team. I was there with them, but chose not to join until a later part, so I was only a member for a little while before I was inducted to the league."

"So they were disbanded. By the League?" Beast Boy questioned.

"No." the former Red Arrow shook his head. "By themselves. One day, they just packed up and left. Every single one of them."

"But why? They seemed to have been doing very well, so much better than this team." Bumblebee gestured to herself and her team, who nodded seriously.

"You don't understand." A husky female voice commented. Startled, the team turned around to see Jade walking out of the bedroom. She looked almost exactly like Artemis, though her hair was jet black. It had changed from the previous wild tangle from their younger years to long wavy strands, pulled back by a sequined green hairband. "The team had many secrets. Much more than any of you do, and many different sources that drove them to do good."

Harper's eyes narrowed at his wife. "This is Jade, my wife."

Cheshire walked next to her husband, and then circled around them again. the team watched her every smooth, elegant step. Like a cat.

"They were the first batch of sidekicks that the League used for their own. The rough experiment. Don't you realize how much you resemble the first team?" She purred slightly, her eyes narrowing into slits and the corners of her mouth perking up slightly. "You're their successors. You're meant to be better, a perfected team with no secrets between yourselves so history won't be repeated and your little team won't be ripped apart at the seams like the first team."

"Jade, stop." Arsenal growled softly.

She continued. "The first team was so close they were like a family. But they didn't even know the true identities of some of their members. It might have been the secrets they had… or maybe they just couldn't stand being in the League's shadow anymore." Jade all but hissed, spitting out her next words. "You're a better version the league created. To replace them when they grow old. To replace those that disappeared. You're replacements."

"Jade!"

It was silent, the wind blowing in through the open window shifting the curtains.

"All of you, out." Arsenal demanded. "Out!"

It had already been ten years.

He was already twenty-eight years old.

Oliver was already forty-two.

Soon enough, they'd all grow old.

And when that happened, they would need… replacements.

Before they disappeared for good.

And that team was their best bet right then.

Unless, of course…

Mysterious ending ;]

I'm planning this as I go so I'm still thinking about when the original YJ members will appear, though I have a rough plan already!

Please Please Review!

Tell me what you think! :]
