We Get That A Lot

Saturday 3rd December 2016 00:01AM A/N: This is actually the reason I stopped writing on FF.N, all my stuff got deleted and I didn't have the motivation to rewrite all the plans and half finished chapters that I had for all my ongoing and unpublished fics:

The old A/N: My computer broke down and destroyed literally everything on my laptop so yeah, a lot of rewrites to complete! YAaaaaaa*trail into sarcasm*aaaaaay. I'm really sorry!

KAREN BEECHER POV

So this was my life now. Sitting in my living room drinking tea with the Batman and his sidekicks, who knew having powers could open so many doors.

Robin leaned over "Red Robin here may be a sidekick but I'm a protégé, a partner even."

I covered my mouth embarrassed "Did I say that aloud?"

He grinned mischievously "No but I've been called a Sidekick enough times to know the look."

"Huh, that must get annoying."

"Yeah well now I'm on a team with a bunch of super sidekicks soooo."

"Yeah what's that like?"

Robin smiled happily "Well the team was founded by me, Kid Flash, Aqualad and Superoy. Aqua lad's our leader and it's pretty damn great."

"I'm sorry what? Superboy?"

"Right I forgot he wasn't exactly public knowledge. He's Superman's clone that was created by Cadmus; KF, Aqualad and I busted him out and founded the team. M'gann AKA Miss Martian, Martian Manhunter's niece then joined the team and then Artemis, Green Arrow's second protégé, and Rocket joined. Then of course there's my little bro Red Robin here, the newest member."

"Shouldn't one of you change your name so Robin and Red Robin don't get confused?"

"I'm planning to I just don't have a good one yet."

Karen thought for a second "What about Bat Boy?"

Robin glared at her and growled coldly "I said a good one."

Tim started smirking as he silently laughed at his older brother "I don't know Rob, I kinda like Bat Boy and every person you've asked has suggested Bat Boy."

"I'm not calling myself that. I may as well be asking for the Joker to make more bad puns and jokes about my name. I already have to deal with Boy Blunder and Dickie Bird."

Karen snorted "Dickie Bird?"

"Oh yeah sure laugh at the guy in a Robin suit."

Karen laughed again "You know, for side k-uug protégés of Batman you guys are surprisingly fun."

Tim and Dick said simultaneously "Yeah we get that a lot."

A/N: The first new material in like how may years!

"How do you do it?" she asked suddenly.

"Do what?" Robin queried, not understanding her question.

"Be such great superheroes without any powers?"

"Training, hard work, determination and some great back up. Trust me I've messed up more times than I can count but I always have someone watching my back whether it be Batman, Kid Flash or Batgirl I can trust them."

Red Robin nodded in agreement "Trust is key when you're out in the field for real."

"You guys are really selling me on this whole Young Justice thing but... I'm just a cheerleader. I just wanna go to school and hang out with my friends and be disgusted by cafeteria food and forget to do my homework. I don't want to give up my life because of this."

"Oh the people who can work much more normal hours than us bats. I'm a straight A student-"

"-I'm an A and B student-" Red Robin chimed in.

"-Kid Flash alternates between tanking his classes and getting A*s, Artemis is..." He hesitated for a second talking about Artemis, he felt Tim send him a look "Artemis and I actually go to the same school, she gets Bs and As too. Being in Young Justice doesn't mean giving up your life. Think about it as sort of an extra curricular activity that you won't get extra credit for."

"Instead of Chess Club I'll join Junior Superhero Club huh. Why not? That is if my parents agree."

The three teens tuned back in to the adults conversation and found them talking about school grades and how best to manage time between school and Young Justice-ing.

Dr Beecher nodded thoughtfully "Well I guess that all sound pretty reasonable, if your boys can keep good grades and still protect Gotham I'm sure my Karen could train- if she wants to of course. But that's where I draw the line, I don't want my baby girl-"

"-daaad!-"

"-risking her life to fight crime! Help her to control her powers, sure! Go ahead! But she is not some sort of masked vigilante running around in spandex and kevlar beating up villains!"

Batman nodded "Of course I can respect that."
