The Arrows and the Bats walked into the Watch Tower arguing, the rest of the main Leaguers (Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash {Barry Allen}, Green Lantern (Hal Jordon), Martian Man Hunter, Hawk Girl and Aquaman) and Young Justice ( Aqualad, Rocket, Kid Flash, Miss Martian, Superboy and Zatanna) were already there, they stared as the usually calm clan of Bats yelled at the aggravated family of Arrows. Their words were impossible to hear because they were all talking at the same time, after about a minute Superman stood up from his seat at the head of the table and screamed "Enough!" everyone froze and fell silent looking at him "How are we supposed to protect the world if you guys can't even settle a simple matter!"
"SIMPLE!" yelled Artemis in outrage "This is anything but simple!"
Roy grumbled loud enough for everyone to hear "It would be a lot simpler if the Bats were straight with us for once."
Green Arrow continued "You act like a heartless man who has no feelings and I'm not sure if you've notice but it's transferred onto Robin!"
Robin looked offended "Excuuuuse me! I will have you know that he's not transferring anything to me! I just grew up, something you obviously never did."
Flash made an 'oooh' sound and received several glares.
GA without thinking cried "I get it you're all lone wolf avengers of the night but you need to get off your high-horses and quite your holier-than-thou attitude because you're the same as us! There's no big reveal where you reveal you're an alien sent here from another planet or you're part of some green space police! You're just humans, like me and the rest of the Arrows!" The entire Justice league gasped unsure of what to do in the presence of a yelling matched between a 30-something man and a 15 year old kid.
Robin yelled "You're right, we're not magical or super powered or from the future, but here's what makes you and me different, you became a vigilante because you could, I became a vigilante because I had to! My parents were killed-slaughtered- right in front of me by Tony Zucco, he didn't have any problem with my parents but just because he didn't get what he wanted he murdered them! I ended up in a freaking Juvie because Gotham is so crime-ridden that all the orphanages were full, do you know how many orphans that would take? Too many! If Bruce hadn't taken me in I would probably have ended up as one of the criminals you guys are constantly trying to bring in. I didn't become a hero because I could, I became a hero because I didn't want any other kid to have to watch their loved ones die to the hands of criminals!" And then he stormed put of the room.
Robin left the room not looking at anyone. Batman looked at the Arrow family "So Artemis, everyone, are you happy now?" he hissed as he followed after his son with a whoosh of his cape.
Kid Flash could only say "So that's why he had a momentary lapse in character last time I called him a dick-" he looked at Superman who was giving him a stern Boy-Scout look "-tator, a dictator."
Green Arrow put his face in his hands tiredly "I feel bad."
"Yeah, you should!" Barry exclaimed which shocked Oliver seeing as they were practically best friends.
"You're taking his side?"
"I'm not taking anyone's side but as a guy who's mother was murdered when I was a kid I can understand where he's coming from, it really does feel sometimes that the only way to feel better is to make everyone else feel like shit just so you know someone's having a worse time than you."
"Well you weren't a secretive asshole vigilante when you were a kid."
"Yeah, because I had Joe and Iris and my dad was still alive even if he was in jail. That kid had absolutely no one, he didn't even speak proper English and they shoved him in Juvie." And with that Barry Allen left the room too.
Oliver sighed at the ceiling before banging his fist against the wall in frustration "Damn it! I'm such an idiot!"
Artemis turned around to the her mentor and sighed "Maybe we should apologise."
"You were the one-" Oliver started indignantly
"I'm a child!" She exclaimed in self defence
"You're 17! You're adult enough to fight crime whilst showing your entire stomach so you're old enough to go apologise."
Roy and Dinah huffed at the two green-clad Archers and dragged them into the hallway saying that they would all apologise. Today could not have gone worse.
A/N: I stole that dictator thing from Iron Man 3 I'll admit it.
