Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ or Young Justice just my OC and even that's debatable considering her origins.

Summary: After defeating Demigra in the Crack's of Time, the last thing Janet expected was to be stranded on another Earth filled with people reminding her of Gohan's Saiyaman issue. However she soon finds that she didn't come alone and must fight to protect that world while looking for a way home. Who said being in the Time Patrol was easy?

Chapter 05: Independence Day Part 1

Gotham City, The Batcave

June 25th, 20:40 EDT

Batman frowned watching a video on the computer inside of the Cave.

On it showed a video of Demigra.

It took him a good week or two after placing the tracer in there before he could bypass the security in that device that the Saiyan had, enough to let him see what it does as he had to be careful to not tip her off, unsure if it would give her a notice if it detected him or not.

It's what allowed for him to track down the energy that Janet exhibited with her Ki as she called it and add it to the database on the Watchtower for further analysis.

Not only that but it also recorded a meeting with Demigra after the Saiyan met Diana showing how the two interacted with each other.

There was clear loathing between the two but it also revealed quite a few things.

Demigra mentioned them being on 'this' Earth and dimensions.

So it would seem that both the Saiyan and Demigra aren't just from another planet, but another plane of reality all together-makes sense given the traces of energy detected by Zatara the day Janet first appeared as well as how there's no trace of Demigra if he's really been around for so long.

Typing to add to the files he made for the two, Batman pondered what his next move should be.

He could confront the Saiyan about this as this was showing she was definitely keeping a lot more secrets, but that could create a rift between her and the League as it would reveal his tracer.

In the end he decided to wait it out as he could get more information that way and he couldn't afford to make an enemy of the Saiyan. Plus it would be hypocritical of him to call her out on that as he would've done the same thing in her position.

Still he did discover three weaknesses the Saiyan had during the last few months.

The energy she exhibited for her attacks wasn't infinite, it came from her extreme metabolism much like Flash's speed does or like how Superman takes energy from the Sun.

If he can make something that attacks her metabolism he'll have a way to take her down if she goes rogue or another Saiyan shows up that isn't friendly, after all that happened with Superman when Zod showed up.

With the power she showed he'd rather be prepared if something like that does happen than not have it when it's needed.

The second weakness was one he was used to dealing with.

Her arrogance, from all of the recorded fights there were from Janet fighting Parasite to Grundy and even Killer Croc there was a hint of excitement and she underestimated all of them to a degree, even Diana she underestimated in their first spar, chances are she underestimates him as well given how they communicated on their first meeting and if it came to it he could use that to his advantage if he does make a device that attacks the metabolism.

The third one is more of a guess than anything but it was possible she's vulnerable to telepathic attacks leaving for J'onn to be their biggest chance against her as he's just as powerful as Superman with the added ability of Telepathy and Shapeshifting.

Turning his attention from the Saiyan's file, Batman looked at the one with Demigra.

There was still not a lot they knew of him, but he did learn that not only can he use his Dark Magic to control and empower a person, he is also capable of making illusions that seem to reflect his physical state which meant there was the possible chance they could be made tangible to attack others.

The only person he knew who could counter that was Doctor Fate but Nelson is currently retired, he might bring it up with him to see if he would consider coming back for this particular problem but he won't force it if there was another way.

Then there were the terms that were used.

Dragon Balls. Kais. Super Saiyan. Beerus.

Just what were they talking about?

"So this is Demigra?" Robin's voice came from behind Batman, the latter not flinching as he heard the boy coming over.

"You finished your exercise?" Batman asked referring to the training program he had Robin undergo that utilized his stealth.

"Piece of cake." Robin said with a grin knowing that Batman would add more of a challenge next time for saying that before looking closer at the picture of Demigra. "Wow that guy doesn't look whelmed at all."

Instead of answering, Batman just pressed a button before getting up to leave. "Stay here." He ordered walking to the Batmobile.

Robin frowned in annoyance at that as his mentor left before he smirked and turned on the holographic computer in his gauntlet. "Let's see where you're going." He said, knowing the systems of the Batcave like the back of his hand at this point, so unless Batman went to update the security system he wouldn't notice the small intrusion that Robin was doing.

It didn't take too long to see that Batman was heading to Jason Blood's place, most likely to speak with Etrigan the Demon to see if he could track this Demigra.

"Heh, Wally would get a kick out of this." Robin mused knowing his friend's stance on Magic, Demons and Sorcery.

New York

June 26th, 10:30 EDT

Janet sat on a park bench dressed in the clothes that Diana gave her, looking a bit bored.

Yet another month has passed and she's still no closer to finding both Demigra and a way home. In fact she was beginning to wonder if she ever will. Then again what does she know? She isn't an expert on traveling to realities.

'Maybe I should tell the League about that part.' Janet thought as she has continued to get to know them through Diana a bit more.

She even got in a few more spars with Diana which helped her improve her abilities a bit, but it was still slow progress. Then there were the talks in which they traded information.

Diana told Janet how the League works and things to watch out for on this Earth while in return Janet told her more stuff she knew of Demigra in terms of how strong he was and some weaknesses to exploit if they ever fought him.

They also traded some stories about some stuff they got into with their own adventures.

Although Janet did have to refrain herself from scoffing when she learned that no one in this League finished off their opponents, they let them live… Okay sure she can see why they do that as people do change given the chance.

Piccolo was proof of that as well as Vegeta, Android 18 and Majin Buu.

But not everyone deserves that same mercy as images of Frieza, Cell and Demigra flashed through her mind.

Still that was how the League worked and this was their world after all. She wasn't going to make an enemy of them by breaking that rule no matter how much she disagreed with it. Although that won't stop her from ending a threat permanently if she had to.

Giving a sigh, Janet looked up at hearing a kid shouting and saw a few kids chasing each other in excitement, playing one of those Earth games, tag was it?

For a few seconds Janet watched wondering idly what her own childhood was like. Certainly it wasn't as relaxed as theirs were given how the Saiyan race was.

Goku, Trunks, Gohan, Goten. The Saiyans that grew up on Earth had a childhood close to that-well maybe not Goku but they were a little lucky in that regard.

Truth be told she found herself a little jealous.

The closest thing she got to it was the times she and Trunks got to just relax after the work in the Time Patrol.

"You seem troubled." Janet perked up as she heard Diana's voice and smiled when the disguised Amazon sat next to her.

Even if the first person in the League she made contact with was Superman, it was Diana that she got along best with.

"What gave my location away?" Janet asked curiously. "I haven't used any Ki except for Instant Transmission to get to New York."

"I told you that I can sense emotions right?" Diana began with Janet nodding.

"Yeah you said it was some sort of blessing from-... You called them Greek Gods right?"

Diana took note of how Janet's tone was. "You don't believe in them?"

"Well no I do, I met some Gods-two in particular," Janet muttered thinking back to that painful fight with Beerus before that mess with Demigra. "I don't particularly care for any sort of religion."

"Don't the Saiyans have any Gods they worship?" Diana asked curiously.

"Nah, most Saiyans just revere strength and battles," Janet said, shrugging in response to her question. "Truth be told just about every Saiyan would find the thought of placing their fate in the hands of anyone laughable."

Although the Saiyans did have a healthy respect for Beerus and even they would avoid antagonizing him unless they were idiots. And she knew first hand how scary he can be.

"I see." Diana said seeing what she was getting at.

Janet would rather make her own fate then pray to anyone.

"So you tracked me with my emotions?" Janet asked, getting the conversation back on track.

"More like you put out a beacon, you wear your emotions on your sleeves a bit so it would've been hard not to notice." Diana explained surprising Janet by that.

"Huh never knew that." Janet muttered, rubbing her hair a bit irritably.

Then again it sounds like it resembles when anyone back home could sense Ki, so maybe there were some similarities between them.

It also made sense as she never did hide her emotions or learn to, it just wasn't something that benefited her when she was in the Time Patrol. Especially since she never did hide anything like she tried to in this reality.

"Still you did seem troubled, is something bothering you?"

Janet just chuckled with a smile. "Nope."

Okay that was a big lie, but she wasn't one to complain when something unfair was happening or when she was feeling down as it would be nothing more than a waste of time.

Just give her something to fight and she'll be good as new.

Diana however looked as if she didn't believe Janet.

"That emotion sensor you have just isn't fair." Janet grumbled, earning a slight chuckle from Diana.

An explosion made Diana pause and look forward before she took off using the speed gifted to her from Hermes to move quickly.

Janet blinked before using her Instant Transmission to get back to her cave with a giddy expression as she grabbed her Gi.

There's no way she was missing this.

Making it back to New York where Diana's Ki signature was, Janet landed on the rooftop wanting to see the type of people Diana usually fights. From hearing stories that she usually deals with myths and Gods from her culture it just made the Saiyan's blood pump from the thought of fighting them.

What she saw was Diana as Wonder Woman fighting what looked to be a female bipedal Cheetah with shoulder-length red hair and wearing a black midriff and black shorts much to her confusion.

Turning her scanner on, Janet was surprised when she saw the power levels matched Diana's and looked closer to see that this 'Cheetah' was on par with Diana's in terms of hand to hand combat.

She was also faster than her and Janet saw Diana get a cut on her shoulder surprising the Saiyan even further.

This was the first time she saw Diana bleed as even her attacks never really hurt her.

So she shot in there, holding her hand out after using her Ki to sense if anyone was close to the fight. "Masenko-Ha!"

Cheetah quickly moved as the two beams blasting from Janet's hand quickly slammed into the ground between her and Diana who calmly floated back. "Too scared to fight me yourself Diana?" She asked, annoyed that their fight was interrupted.

Instead of rising to the bait, Diana glared. "What are you doing here Minerva?" She asked with Cheetah smirking.

"To kill you of course, it's always about killing you," She said flexing her claws before glaring at Janet. "Get out of here kid, this is a private matter."

Janet just cracked her knuckles with a grin. "I never run from a good fight." She said.

Diana didn't say anything knowing that Janet could handle herself in a fight while Cheetah frowned. "Your funeral." She said running at both of them.

Diana easily blocked the claws with her bracelet while Janet flew in to tackle Cheetah only to be caught off guard when the tail wrapped around her neck to try and choke her.

Not liking that and deciding to channel Goku, Janet grabbed and bit the tail making Cheetah give a cry of pain and surprise that someone actually did that, allowing for Diana to sucker punch her.

"Pft," Janet spat hair out. "Yuck that's nasty."

She's going to be spitting hair out for awhile.

"Look out." Diana warned with Cheetah back on the move putting the two on defensive.

Cheetah was extremely agile and was actually holding her own against both Janet and Diana, something that would've impressed the Saiyan if it wasn't for the fact that she was still holding back.

After all, where's the fun in the fight if it's ended too soon without seeing the opponent's full potential?

Apparently Diana didn't share that sentiment as she quickly used her Lasso to wrap Cheetah's legs together and pulled using her strength to send Cheetah into a wall making it collapse-keeping the lasso around the feline's legs.

"Submit Cheetah." Diana warned her as Cheetah attempted to push herself up.

"Now where would the fun in that be?" Cheetah asked quickly, doing a handstand and pulling, actually making Diana fly toward her but the Amazon used that to her advantage to deliver an uppercut sending Cheetah into the air.

Seeing that Cheetah was still conscious, Janet used Instant Transmission to appear above her, giving a cheeky grin to purposely infuriate her before hitting her with a light Ki blast, sending Cheetah right into the ground the combined forces of the two attacks knocked her out.

"I have to say I fought a lot of people and aliens but a cat lady was a new one." Janet said floating back down while Diana wrapped her lasso back up, not missing the look of regret on Diana's face. "You alright?"

"I will be, Minerva was a friend of mine from when I first entered Man's world," She said, making Janet blink. "Of course that was before the Cheetah's curse took a hold of her."

Diana said she left her island sometime in the early 1940's.

Man that sounds like a lot of history between her and this Cheetah person.

A flash of light made Janet turn to see some people taking pictures as they came out of hiding while an armored truck pulled to a stop with some guards getting out with a collar that they placed on Cheetah's neck and to her surprise she saw the fur on her receding back to show a young woman.

"Inhibitor Collars, they nullify powers." Diana explained seeing the bewildered expression that Janet was showing. "It works pretty well for Magic as well."

Janet stared at the collars a bit on edge.

Would they nullify Ki?

Ki counted as a power if you think about it so it was something to be wary of-.

Janet took a step back when people began to swarm them, the camera flashes were really beginning to annoy her and there were a lot of people shouting, a lot of them were at Wonder Woman in the form of questions.

But she didn't listen to them as some of the questions seemed to be aimed at her.

"Are the rumors of you being an Alien true?"

"Why have you come to this planet?"

"Is there any chance that you're joining the Justice League?"

"What exactly is a Saiyan?"

"Why do you shout out your attacks?"

"Are you currently seeing anyone?"

"How old are you?"

Countless more followed as Janet tried to take a step back, not sure how to handle this. There were no reporters in TokiToki City as it was the base for the Time Patrol, it literally existed outside of time so there was no need for them and she always disappeared when the timeline was fixed, so she never had to deal with something like this.

So it was a surprise when Diana took to the sky giving Janet a look saying she should to which she eagerly accepted flying off.

"D'in m'yo," Janet said, earning a confused look right as the Saiyan groaned and messed with the translator. "I said thank you, I swear I need to get this thing fixed."

"I take it that was the first time you dealt with the Press?" Diana asked as she felt Janet's emotions going all over the place.

"Yeah, never really stuck around long enough for them to show up." Janet said, a bit embarrassed. "Are they always like that?"

"You've been making the News quite a lot since your first appearance." Diana said knowing how she felt as that was something she had to deal with when she first appeared. "I'm actually surprised it took this long for them to approach you."

"... Why did they ask about me joining the League?" Out of all the questions that one caught her off guard.

"Whenever you were seen by other people it was always in the presence of a member of the League," Diana told her. "It was even reported about Flash taking you to the Hall, so naturally people are curious about that."

Diana then looked over her shoulder.

"Are you interested in the idea?"

She knew that Batman, Green Arrow, Flash and Aquaman were going to have their proteges come to the Hall at the beginning of next month, even though it was in their own words to keep an eye on them. Diana could put in a word to have Janet join them if the Saiyan was interested.

Janet however shook her head. "It's not for me, I'm not a Hero," She said with a sigh. "I'm a warrior."

That brought a nostalgic smile to Diana's face. "Have I ever told you about the Justice Society of America?" She asked, earning a quizzical look. "It was a team of heroes I joined back when I entered Man's world."

"They like the League?" Janet asked curiously seeing as they both had the word Justice in it.

"It was in the early days of Superheroes as some people would call it, back when heroes started appearing." Diana said looking like she was having a few flashbacks to some good days with them. "I should really think about visiting some of them."

"So what about them?"

That brought Diana back to the present. "When I first came to Man's world I was offered a position on that team, at first I turned it down, I was pretty prideful and naive about the world back then," Diana came to a stop far above New York, eliciting for Janet to begin floating in place. "Then World War II began and the Justice Society became the All-Star Squadron to fight in that war, I joined then at the behest of Green Lantern and Flash."

"Wait, they were around back then too?" Janet asked in surprise.

"No I meant their predecessors," Diana said as she kept in touch with Jay Garrick through the current Flash, but hasn't spoken that much with Alan Scott all that much as the man kept to himself after he retired. "It was with them that I found comradity before I returned to Themyscira once the war was over."

"Not that this isn't interesting but why are you telling me this?"

Diana never went into detail quite like this in their past talks.

"You remind me of how I was when I first came to Man's world," Diana said with a smile. "I think you would fit in well."

Janet hesitated, still a bit unsure.

Would she fit in well?

Even in the Time Patrol she was a loner not really teaming up with anyone save for her mentor Trunks even when he tried to get her to socialize with the other Time Patrol Members. She just wasn't really sociable.

"You don't have to answer right now," Diana assured her as she didn't want to pressure Janet into making the decision. "Just give it some thought."

Forest Outside of Metropolis

June 26th, 23:13 EDT

Janet couldn't sleep that night, staring up at the ceiling of the cave, her Gi off to where she only wore her dark bra and leggings due to the current heat. Diana's offer was still going through her head.

Joining this League?

Should she do it?

... Could she?

Since this world wasn't connected to theirs theoretically she should be able to without breaking any time-space laws as it wasn't affecting time in her world. But the Time Patrol was her life and she couldn't just turn her back on it.

Sitting up, Janet exited the cave and sat near the lake with a frown. "Trunks, what should I do?" She muttered wondering what advice he would give before looking down. "Are you even looking for me?"

Janet shook her head.

What was she saying?! Of course Trunks was looking for her, he was the closest thing she had for family. She missed him.

She missed home.

Forest Outside of Metropolis

July 4th, 8:43 EDT

'Nine Hundred and One... Nine Hundred and Two... Nine Hundred and Three.' Janet thought, sweating a bit as she was doing pull-ups, upside down on a tree branch, trying to get her mind off of everything, not even feeling the strain.

This was ridiculously easy without the Gravity Chamber, but it did keep her in shape.

Diana's offer kept going through her head the last ten days and she found herself going over the cons and pros of it.

So far the Pros outweigh the Cons, especially if they can help her get back home. But it was because of that reason that she hesitated in accepting.

She didn't want to become too attached to anyone when she had to leave.

Janet was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't sense Diana's Ki until the woman landed next to her. "How long have you been doing that?"

"Since I got up, I'm almost done." Janet answered, not pausing. 'Nine Hundred and Twenty-Eight.' "So what can I do for you?"

"I came to see if you came to a decision." Diana said considering that was the day the other Proteges were inducted into the League and the Amazon figured Janet might benefit from being around other heroes her own age. She brought it up with the others and they agreed given how Janet has done nothing but helped them so far and figured she deserved a chance if she accepted.

That made Janet pause before she unhook her legs and floated to the ground, biting her lip with indecision.

"Look I appreciate the offer but I'm not a hero." Janet said but her voice gave away how unsure she was about this along with the emotions she was feeling.

"Then how about a trial-run?" Diana offered surprising Janet. "Batman, Flash, Green Arrow and Aquaman are bringing their partners to join the League, you could go as well to see how it is, if you don't like it then you don't have to join."

'A trial-run.' Janet repeated in her head mulling it over before she gave a nod.

She can do that.

Washington, D.C.

July 4th, 14:00 EDT

Janet landed next to Diana to see Batman, Robin, Green Arrow, Speedy and two others she hasn't met but heard enough from Diana to take a guess.

Aquaman stood there in his orange scale armor and dark green leggings with blonde hair and a beard standing next to Aqualad who had dark skin and bleach-blonde hair wearing a skintight red and blue swimsuit that exposes his arms and feet, eel-like tattoos on his arms.

"Today is the day." Batman said, placing a hand on Robin's shoulder showing some affection for his protege.

"Indeed it is." Diana said, making them turn towards her to see Janet with her.

"Huh so she agreed?" Green Arrow said with a smirk looking at Batman. "You owe me five bucks."

Batman just gave him a look saying 'not now.'

"Uh hi." Janet said, sounding a little awkward as she wasn't completely on board with this idea, looking past them to see the Hall of Justice. 'Been awhile since I've been here.'

"Hey Janet," Robin greeted with a grin, remembering that she didn't like being called the Saiyan. "You psyched to be here?"

Janet just raised a brow not answering that while Speedy sighed and messed with Robin's hair a bit, eliciting a hey from him. "Just ignore the shrimp." He said in a joking matter with Robin glaring at him. "Haven't seen you since Grundy."

"Been busy." Janet said with a nod remembering that moment.

Aqualad stepped forward politely. "I do not believe we have met," He said, showing a respectful manner. "I'm Aqualad."

"Nice to meet you." Janet greeted him with a nod. "As bird boy said, I'm Janet."

Robin looked a bit irked at the nicknames he was receiving, but didn't let that bother him as the wind kicked up with two more individuals showing up.

"Aw-man I knew we would be the last ones here." Janet turned to see the speaker to be a fifteen year old boy with spiky red hair showing as a pair of red goggles kept the bangs up as he wore a yellow armored costume with red pants, gloves and boots a lightning bolt emblem on his chest while the mask showed he had green eyes and freckles.

Janet guessed this was Kid Flash as he was standing right next to the Flash who looked at his student with amusement.

As he grumbled, Kid Flash noticed Janet and perked up before he was suddenly next to her. "Hello there I don't think we met, beautiful." He said with a sly grin. "Names Kid Flash, fastest boy alive all-time hero."

Janet heard Robin snicker in the background as the boy wonder lightly elbowed Speedy. "Five bucks that he fails."

"No deal." Speedy said in amusement.

Kid Flash ignored them resisting the urge to glare before Batman intervened sounding annoyed. "We're wasting time."

Hearing the annoyed tone, Kid Flash quickly backed off not wanting to anger the Bat and because he was pretty excited about the chance they had.

They were joining the Justice League.

With that said, all of them began to walk towards the Hall of Justice, Janet hesitating because she saw people with cameras but decided to follow.

"Is that Batman?"

"I see Flash and Flash Jr."

"His name is Speedy, duh."

"No, Speedy is Green Arrow's sidekick."

"... Well that makes no sense."

"Hey isn't that the Saiyan with Wonder Woman?"

"Wow I guess she is joining the League."

"Ready to see the inner-sanctum?" Green Arrow asked curiously.

Speedy grinned at his mentor. "Born that way." He said, excited to have this chance.

"I'm glad we're all here." Aqualad said to his fellow young heroes while Kid Flash grinned.

"Have all four sidekicks ever been in the same place at the same time-?"

"Don't call us sidekicks." Speedy interrupted with a look of distaste. "Not after today."

Kid Flash winced. "Sorry, first time at the Hall, I'm a little overwhelmed," He said to Robin before his eyes looked over to Janet who was walking nearby. "So you doing anything after this?"

Janet blinked, not sure what he meant. "Uh what?"

"You were overwhelmed, Freeze was underwhelmed, why can't anyone just be whelmed?" Robin asked in annoyance right as they entered to see large statues of the Founding Members of the League. "Oh maybe that's why?"

"Whelmed?" Janet asked not hearing that word before.

A metal door with the words 'Authorized Personnel Only' opened up to show Martian Manhunter who was a Martian with green skin wearing a black bodysuit with a red X going across his chest and a blue cape while next to him was the Android known as Red Tornado who had a T emblem on his chest and a blue cape along with a yellow arrow on his forehead.

Janet looked at Red Tornado in interest, not sensing any Ki, so she knew it was an android.

"Robin. Speedy. Aqualad. Kid Flash. Saiyan." Martian Manhunter said, getting their attention, the latter looking annoyed by the name she was given, but looked about ready to give up at that point. "Welcome."

With that said they followed him inside, the door closing behind them.

"You now have unlimited access to our Gym, our fully stocked galley and of course our Library." Martian Manhunter explained as they passed by each area, Janet's eyes lit up at the mention of the first two while she nearly groaned at the third one.

"Make yourselves at home." Flash said with them in the Library as Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad did just that with the nearby chairs looking happy at this while Speedy frowned in annoyance as if waiting for something.

Janet just looked around, seeing people looking at them through a glass window taking pictures. 'Why do I feel like I'm a zoo exhibit?' She thought looking away.

"Quick debrief about the coincidence of four ice villains attacking on the same day." Batman said looking at the League before the teenagers. "We won't be long."

'Wait are they leaving us here?' Janet thought a bit disappointed but then realized they were going to be having a meeting.

Maybe she could spar with one of the others at the Gym?

A camera came out and began to scan the League Members while Janet mused to herself.

"Recognize Batman 02, Aquaman 06, Flash 04, Green Arrow 08, Martian Manhunter 07, Red Tornado 16, Wonder Woman 03."

The doors opened but Speedy spoke up before they could leave. "That's it?!" Everyone looked at him as the archer crossed his arms. "You promised us a real look inside, not a glorified backstage pass."

"It's a first step, you've been granted access few others get." Aquaman said calmly with a hint of authority in his tone.

"Oh really?" Speedy threw his arm out towards the windows where the tourists were at. "Who cares about which side of the glass we're on?!"

"Roy, you just need to be patient." Green Arrow said with Spe-Roy frowning at how his secret identity was just revealed like that-sure the others knew but Janet was the only one who didn't.

"What I need is respect." Roy said not liking this as he turned toward the others. "They're treating us like kids, no worse like sidekicks we deserve better than this."

No one said anything as Robin, Aqualad and Kid Flash exchanged awkward looks. Janet however arched a brow, finding it funny at the idea of her being anyone's sidekick.

But Roy took their silence as something else. "You're kidding right? You're playing their game? Why?!" He asked looking at them. "Today was supposed to be 'The Day', step one in becoming full-fledged members of the League."

"Well sure, but I thought Step One was just a tour of the HQ." Kid Flash said not sure why Speedy was making a big deal out of this.

They were in the League HQ, so that was something right?

"Except the Hall isn't the League's real HQ!" Roy let out surprising everyone while Green Arrow grimaced, the other teenagers looking at him in surprise. "I bet they never told you that it's a false front for Tourists and a pitstop for catching Zeta Beam teleporters to the real thing. An orbiting satellite called the Watchtower."

Green Arrow slowly turned to see Flash and Batman giving him a look, the latter crossing his arms. "I know but I figured maybe we could make an exception?" He asked the response was Batman narrowing his eyes. "Or not."

"Huh that's pretty smart." Janet muttered as she did find the whole tourist HQ to be weird, but having them have a hidden HQ behind it was a nice touch.

"You are not helping your cause son, stand down or-." Aquaman began but Roy got in his face.

"Or what? You'll send me to my room? And I'm not your son," Speedy said before glaring at Green Arrow. "I'm not even his, I thought I was his partner."

With that said he took his yellow hat off and threw it to the ground.

"Well not anymore." With that he walked off, looking at the others. "Guess they're right about you, you're not ready."

'Well that went well.' Janet thought right as a small alarm went off and she saw the computer turn on to show Superman.

Instead of listening she used Instant Transmission to appear behind Roy before he could leave the authorized personnel area.

"I'm surprised you didn't punch anyone."

"What do you want?" Roy asked, giving a glare at her.

"Just to talk." Janet said with a shrug not bothered by the glare. "Don't you think you're being a little bit hasty?"

"Hasty? They're treating all of us like kids." Roy walked until he was looking down at her as she only came up to his chest. "Are you telling me you accept that?"

"Hell no, I'm not anyone's sidekick," Janet scoffed, crossing her arms. "But you're walking out on your family."

"Green Arrow isn't my family." Roy said to her his anger rising a bit.

"Yet he trusted you with the information on this… You called it Watchtower right?" Janet curiously asked, the question actually making Roy pause. "None of the others did that, doesn't that show that he viewed you as more than a partner?"

With that she went to walk off back towards the others but paused and looked back at Roy.

"And just because Green Arrow isn't related by blood doesn't mean he's not your family," Janet told him. "My partner back home was like an older sibling to me."

With that said she walked off as Roy turned to leave but he held a contemplative expression on his face.

"They don't even trust us with the basics," Kid Flash's voice could be heard as Janet walked back in the Library. "They have a secret HQ. In space!"

"What else aren't they telling us?" Aqualad asked while Robin sighed.

"I have a better question, why didn't we leave with Speedy and Janet?" Robin asked with Janet blinking as she realized they thought she left as well before she coughed.

"I didn't leave, just had to talk with Speedy." Janet said with Robin blinking as he didn't hear her come in.

Guess he was a bit distracted with what happened.

"... What is Project Cadmus?" Aqualad asked curiously as a silence descended upon them.

'What did I miss?' Janet thought in confusion while Robin looked thoughtful.

"Don't know but I can find out." He said a grin on his face as he walked over to the computer where she saw Superman on and began to type in it.

"Access Denied."

Robin scoffed. "Want to bet?" He asked typing in a few more keys as the screen changed to show him actually hacking the Justice League computer system.

"Whoa," Kid Flash had wide eyes. "How are you doing this?"

"Same system as the Batcave." Robin explained with a gleeful grin.

"Access Granted."

"Huh not bad." Janet said knowing it was impressive as while she never learned how to do anything like that, she could appreciate the skill.

"Alright Project Cadmus, Genetics Lab here in DC that's all there is," Robin said looking it over. "But if Batman is suspicious maybe we should investigate."

"Solve their case before they do?" Aqualad questioned curiously. "It would be poetic justice."

"And they're all about Justice." Robin joked poking fun at the name.

Aqualad smiled but sighed. "But they said stay put."

"For the blotting out the sun mission not this." Robin pointed out the loophole in their orders.

"Blotting out the sun?" Janet asked in surprise but Kid Flash quickly placed a hand on Robin's shoulder.

"Wait, are you going to Cadmus? Because if you are so am I." Kid Flash said with a grin as the two of them looked at Aqualad who hesitated because this was starting to feel like peer pressure.

"Sounds like fun, count me in." Janet said cracking her knuckles hoping they would find a good fight.

"Great to have you beautiful." Kid Flash said with his sly smile back.

Janet just took two steps to the side away from Kid Flash unsure of how to respond.

"Just like that we're a team on a mission?" Aqualad asked, looking at the three of them.

"We didn't come for a play date." Robin answered with the teen Atlantean giving a smirk in reply.


Cadmus, being a two story building, was pretty small with an even smaller fire ravaging it, a few scientists being trapped on the top floor waving frantically for the firefighters below to save them.

A huge explosion however knocked them out of the window as they were hurtling towards the ground when a yellow and red blur ran up the building grabbing them. However, grabbing them added weight that made it hard for Kid Flash to continue going as he got them to the rooftop when he fell and grabbed a second story window that was open.

"Hey look it's, what's his name… Flash Boy!"

"Kid Flash," Kid Flash called down in annoyance before muttering. "Why is that so hard to remember?"

"So smooth." Robin said across the street from where he and Aqualad stood while Janet floated.

"Does he always run ahead?" Aqualad asked before frowning. "We need a plan-."

He stopped on noticing that Robin wasn't there, even Janet was gone.

Giving an annoyed look, Aqualad saw Robin use his grapple to get into the window while Janet just flew in making him sigh.

Great.

Moments later Aqualad was in the building after using his abilities to get the scientists off the roof and helping with the fire. "Appreciate the help." He said annoyance in his tone while Kid Flash and Robin were on the computers, hacking away.

Janet however had her eyes closed with a frown.

"Hey you had it, besides we're here to investigate." Robin reminded him.

"And we're right to do so," Janet said, catching their attention. "I'm sensing at least hundreds of Ki Signatures and a lot of them aren't human."

"Hundreds? This is a two story building, where would they be hiding?" Robin asked curiously while Aqualad stepped into the hallway in time to see the elevator close with something in it.

"There was something in the-." Aqualad began but Kid Flash zoomed past him.

"Elevators should be locked down."

Robin ran by and looked at it. "Wait a second," He muttered, tapping his gauntlet showing a holographic computer on it. "Thought so, this is an express elevator, this doesn't belong inside of a two story building."

"Neither is what I saw." Aqualad said with certainty as he forced the doors open to show a long, deep drop.

"And that's why they need an Express Elevator." Robin joked taking a grapple out as he attached it to the ceiling and jumped, grappling downward at a fast pace.

Aqualad and Kid Flash jumped, grabbing the cord to slide down on while Janet just flew after them.

None of them noticed Demigra appearing behind where they were an interested look on his face. "Hm, I wonder what all of this is." He mused doing his own investigation.

The floors sped by fast until Robin came to a sudden stop at Sub-Level 26. "I'm at the end of my rope."

With that said he swung off and began to hack the elevator door as he detected alarms on it while Kid Flash and Aqualad jumped to the ledge, Janet floating behind them.

"You want me to check deeper?" Janet asked curiously with Robin thinking about it, but Aqualad shook his head.

"Until we know what's going on we should stick together down here."

"So stay close, beautiful." Hearing that made Robin roll his eyes at how his best friend gets girl-crazy at times.

But instead of telling Kid Flash to focus he managed to finish hacking the doors giving a nod to Aqualad who forced it open to show a dark hallway.

"Welcome to Project Cadmus." Robin muttered looking around when Kid Flash took off running to explore.

"Kid wait!" Aqualad tried to no avail.

"Is he always like that?" Janet couldn't help but ask with Aqualad sighing.

"You should see him when he gets caffeine." Robin joked before Janet flew off after Kid Flash, Robin and Aqualad moving quick behind her.

Just as they caught up with Kid Flash about to cut a corner, he quickly came to a stop sliding in the middle of the hallway falling down to show that while he can run well, stopping was an issue.

Barely getting out of the way to get back to the others they were all treated to the sight of huge hulking behemoths that walked past them as if watching a parade.

"No, nothing odd going on here." Aqualad said sarcastically.

"What are they?" Janet asked, never seeing them before, none of them noticed a small one who looked right at them as its head glowed.

"If I knew I would tell you." Robin said looking very surprised by what they found, his computer beeping as he typed in it showing a point of interest across the hall. "Come on I can hack their database at the computer I found."

Seeing the large doorway, Robin just hacked it open and all of them were shocked at what they saw.

"Okay I'm officially whelmed." Robin said looking around seeing various creatures resembling the behemoths at smaller sizes in tubes all around them, all of them having electricity coming off of them.

"Jeez this is starting to remind me of Cell and the Androids." Janet said remembering that piece of history well enough.

"Who?" Kid Flash asked in surprise before shaking his head as the sparks showed a bit more. "Whoa, this is how they hide this massive facility from the world, the real Cadmus isn't even on the grid. It generates power using these things."

"Is that what they're made for?" Janet curiously asked, floating near them.

"Even their name is a clue," Aqualad spoke up. "The Cadmus of Myth created life by sowing dragon's teeth into the Earth."

"And this Cadmus create's life as well."

"But for what?" Janet asked looking down at them. "Why would they want to make life?"

"Let's find out." Robin said seeing the computer his gauntlet detected and he quickly plugged himself in as he was in pretty quickly. "They call them Genomorphs."

"Weird name." Janet landed next to them deciding to quit wasting her Ki with flying.

"Whoa look at the stats on these things," Robin suddenly said in shock. "Super Strength, Telepathy, Razor Claws, these things are living weapons."

"It really is Cell all over again." Janet said with Kid Flash frowning.

"Seriously who is that?"

"A Super weapon whose abilities worked like Parasite's, he tried to destroy the world back home." Janet explained making Kid Flash grimaced. "And he used his tail to eat people to absorb their energy."

"Okay that's just wrong." Kid Flash said now looking like he was going to puke. "So they're building an army but for who?"

"Wait there's something else, Project KR." Robin muttered looking at the encrypted file. "Ugh it'll take me time to get through this."

"Wouldn't that mean it's most likely heavily guarded." Janet pointed out her curiosity getting the better of her. "So if they don't want anyone finding out about it-."

"Then we should totally look into it." Robin said, easily seeing what she was saying.

"Don't move." They all turned to see a man in blue armor with a gold helmet and various dog-sized Genomorphs coming in. "Wait, Robin? Kid Flash? Aqualad? The Saiyan?"

"Least they got your name right." Robin joked to Kid Flash as he continued to hack.

Janet however noticed something odd.

"I know you Guardian, you're a hero." Aqualad said, Guardian giving a nod.

"I do my best."

"Then what are you doing here?" Kid Flash asked, looking at him.

"And why do you have Speedy's Ki Signature?" Janet's question surprised them.

"His what?" Guardian asked, caught off guard before he could say he was the Chief of Security.

"No one has the same Ki Signature, so why is yours so similar?" Janet asked not sure what to expect using her scanner on the Genomorphs to see their powers were pretty high without Ki, nearly in the triple digits.

Robin frowned and filed that down as something new they learned about Janet.

So each Ki Signature was unique but Guardian matches Roy? That should be looked into.

Despite being curious about what she was talking about, Guardian shook his head. "Forget that, why are you here? I'm the Chief of Security for Cadmus, is there a reason or should I call in the League?"

"You think the League would approve of you making weapons?!" Kid Flash asked, gesturing to the Genomorphs.

Guardian looked genuinely confused. "Weapons what are you-?" He stopped when the horns of the Genomorph on his shoulder glowed red making his pupils dilate a bit before anger came across his face. "Take them down hard! No mercy!"

"Finally!" Janet quickly shot in, intercepting one Genomorph by grabbing its tail to spin around to throw at the others while Robin threw down a smoke bomb to grapple to the rafters and out the door.

Kid Flash used surprising maneuverability to wall jump and tackle a few before he took off after Robin. Aqualad meanwhile was engaged with Guardian in hand-to-hand combat showing he had a gold shield before he seemed to have an upper hand.

Seeing that Janet was about to shoot in to help before Aqualad's tattoos glowed as electricity sparked off of him, blasting Guardian back.

"Come on." Aqualad said to Janet as she casually slammed her fist back sending a Genomorph back.

Janet gave a nod and flew after him as they ran out, catching up to Kid Flash who came to a stop at seeing Robin hacking the elevator. "Way to be a team player Rob."

"Weren't you right behind me?" Robin asked right as the elevator opened to show that he called it up to them. "Come on."

Piling inside of the Elevator, Janet sent a Ki blast to knock a Genomorph back before it could get in.

'Tch too easy.' Janet thought at how weak the Genomorphs seemed, none of them even put a scratch on her.

"We're heading down?" Aqualad asked at seeing the number of the Sub-Levels rising instead of decreasing.

"Dude out is up." Kid Flash agreed with Robin as they needed to go.

Robin shook his head. "Hello, Project KR?" He reminded them. "It's down on Sub-Level 52."

Aqualad rubbed the back of his neck. "This is out of control, perhaps we should call the League."

The three went silent while Janet shook her head. "Hey you guys came to prove yourselves, if you call the League now you'll never be able to do that."

Besides she felt the four of them were capable of doing this, in fact she was pretty sure if it was the three of them without her they would be able to do this no problem at all.

The elevator opened showing they reached their destination and cutting the conversation off.

They prepped for a fight only to see a hallway that was straight out of a horror film. It was a cavernous hall covered with pustules filled ooze that looked like it was organic.

"Anyone else finding this a tad bit disturbing?" Kid Flash expression told volumes of what he thought while Janet flew and poked the wall.

"No pulse or Ki, it's not organic that's for sure, just looks that way." Janet muttered with Robin running ahead.

"Huh okay that makes this better," Kid Flash said a little relieved before looking at Aqualad. "And since we're here we might as well check it out."

Letting out a sigh, Aqualad followed and soon the four of them were at a fork in the hall. "Which way?" The Atlantean asked looking both ways.

"Yeah bizarre looking hallway number one or bizarre looking hallway number two." Robin agreed.

"Hold!" A sudden voice caught their attention as they saw yet another Genomorph, this one was tall and lanky wearing a white lab coat with large horns.

Robin threw a Shuriken while Janet fired a Ki blast but to their shock the Genomorph stopped both and sent them straight back with his mind. "Telekinesis, great."

"This way!" Aqualad ordered down the free hallway.

Rounding the corner they saw a massive door that opened as a woman walked out, who Kid Flash ran into, making her fall over as he slid into the room before grabbing a nearby canister and placed it in the way of the closing door to keep it open when Aqualad, Robin and Janet came into sight. "Hurry!"

Seeing that, Janet grabbed both Aqualad and Robin before flying in there as fast as she could leaving Kid Flash to use his speed to kick the canister out letting the door slam shut.

Quickly using his computer after Janet let him go, Robin sighed. "There I just bought us some time," He said, messing with the door locks. "We're safe in here."

"You mean trapped." Aqualad said before Janet grinned.

"Actually we're not. I can use Instant-Transmission to get us out of here and back at the Hall in no time." She said surprising them.

"You can do that?" Robin sounded impressed. "So it's teleportation?"

"No it's just instant."

"Uh guys you might want to see this." The shocked tone in Kid Flash's voice caught their attention.

Approaching him they saw him standing at a console staring at a pod with wide eyes.

Inside of it was what looked to be a teenage version of Superman wearing a white solar suit with the emblem on it, his eyes were closed as three small Genomorphs were positioned above his head.

"Big K little r, the Atomic Symbol for Krypton," Kid Flash said looking at the others. "Clone?"

"Robin." Aqualad looked at the youngest of them breaking him out of his shock.

"Right, hacking."

As he did that, Janet flew near him. "So basically it's Superman's son?"

"That's one way to put it." Kid Flash wasn't even flirting as this was quite the shock. "Oh man this is huge."

"Weapon-Designation Superboy, a clone forced grown in-Sixteen weeks?!" Robin said, sounding shocked. "From DNA acquired from Superman."

Aqualad narrowed his eyes in anger. "Stolen from Superman."

Kid Flash gave a nod. "No way the big guy knows about this."

"Solar Suit allows for him to absorb yellow sun radiation 24/7." Robin continued.

"Sun Radiation?" Janet asked not getting that part.

"And these creatures?" Aqualad asked pointing to the three ones above Superboy.

"Genomorph Gnomes, telepathic force-feeding him an education."

"And we can guess what else." Kid Flash said with Janet's face darkening. "They're making a slave out of him."

"Then let's get him out of there." Janet was about to rip the capsule open.

"Easy, we don't know how ripping it open will affect him." Robin told her knowing what she was about to do.

"Now we contact the League." Aqualad said as they began to try and do so but nothing happened.

"Crap we're in way too deep, literally."

"Janet you said you could use your Instant Transmission to get us out of here?" Robin asked with Janet giving a nod.

"Yeah but it will require him being out of there, and I'll be honest I never did it with more than one person." Janet said with her arms crossed.

"Then we'll do that. Robin, wake him up." Aqualad said knowing they needed to do this.

It would be wrong to leave Superboy here.

Giving a nod, Robin messed with the controls as air hissed out of the pod and it slowly opened, none of them noticed the Genomorph Gnomes glow because it died down in a second.

Everyone watched as Superboy's hand twitched before closing in a fist with his bones popping right as his blue eyes snapped open seeing the four of them.

Without warning he lunged and tackled Aqualad to the ground and began to wail on him.

Immediately Kid Flash and Robin grabbed him by the arms. "Easy Supey we're on your side." Kid Flash got out before Superboy easily broke free and uppercutted Kid Flash making him crash through some equipment knocked out.

"Sorry about this." Robin shoved something in Superboy's mouth that turned out to be a smoke grenade.

As that happened, Janet came down and swung her leg, catching Superboy in the face, knocking him into the wall where he looked shocked that something actually hurt him before his eyes narrowed.

"Is Kid Flash-?" Aqualad asked but Robin beat him to it.

"He's knocked out, worry about us for the moment." Robin said pulling out a taser that shot Superboy but he grabbed it and pulled sending Robin into the wall the force of the blow knocking the breath out of his body and disorienting him right as Superboy grabbed him and threw him into the door making it dent and the boy wonder was down.

Aqualad rushed forward grabbing the bearers from his back bringing Janet's attention to his backpack that he had before seeing him form a mace out of water that Superboy broke and punched Aqualad into the ceiling leaving him out.

'Okay this guy is tough.' Janet thought, although she would be lying if she said she wasn't excited.

Clone or not this guy has Superman's strength and her scanner was showing his power to be off the charts.

She will enjoy this.

"Alright, show me what you have." Janet shot at Superboy who yelled in anger and rushed at her with their fists meeting to have a bit of a shockwave erupt, breaking the glass and equipment around them.

Janet ended up winning that strength fight as she pushed and sent Superboy back where his feet skidded across the floor creating sparks.

'He's not as strong as Superman though, and he lacks experience.' Janet thought to herself a bit disappointed. 'Plus he seems to be a brawler instead of a fighter.'

She could easily win this-.

Pain flooded her senses however as the Genomorph Gnomes began to attack her mind making her grab it in agony as she cried out, that gave Superboy the chance he needed where he delivered a barrage of punches not holding back where she was sent right through the door skidding across it and landing right below some of the huge Genomorphs as Guardian and a few scientists who tense as she pushed herself up, coughing some blood out as Superboy began to walk towards her.

Ignoring the pain in her mind, Janet smirked. "Okay you asked for it." Launching herself she tackled Superboy into the ceiling and axe-kicked him to the floor making it crack.

"Enough!" The humanoid Genomorph said, assaulting her mind again, shutting it down to where she fell unconscious, falling to the floor with enough force to crack it.

"You should've done that to begin with Dubbilex." A brown haired scientist said in disdain as he fixed his glasses before looking at the unconscious sidekicks inside of the room with a smirk, one that got bigger as he turned towards Janet. "Still to think she was able to hold her own against Project KR and almost win."

Snapping his fingers he looked at Guardian.

"Take the sidekicks to the cloning chamber, but place the Saiyan in Sub-Level 23 and keep her heavily sedated, I want to run some tests."

"Doctor Desmond these aren't your average meddling kids, you don't want to get on the wrong side of the Justice League."

"I believe I gave you an order Guardian." Desmond said as the G-Nome on Guardian's shoulder began to manipulate his mind once more.

"You heard him." Guardian said with no remorse.

Desmond walked over as they had one of the Genomorphs pick Janet up and followed it, just excited about all the experiments he could run to see how different her cellular structure was compared to others.

To Be Continued…

Wow this chapter has definitely taken quite the turn huh? The YJ timeline has officially begun and there were some changes with Janet's involvement, as expected and she was taken down because of the telepathic assault considering she never received training against it in Xenoverse I think it would work on her in this story.

Without the telepathic attack she would've won against Superboy who is only half-Kryptonian and about zero actual combat experience.

Alright let me answer the reviews.

DannyPhantom619: Yeah that's pretty much a kick in the balls for her pride right there.

Thunrady: Well it allowed for me to do it in Xenoverse, but I could have it be a strange mutation from birth with the Saiyans.

Uberch01: That was the plan right there because if that didn't do it nothing would.

Anime hotty lover. 18: Haha yeah it was fun to type just as this one was, hope you enjoyed it.

Guest5: Well he will make things much more interesting as the next chapter will show. As for his time travelling well something will be explained on that one later.

SSGSS Drakus: Thanks and sorry for the wait.

Elvisfonz23: Thank you, typing the insight of Janet and how her thoughts worked along with her history was the best part of that chapter, the sparring match as well as the interaction with Wonder Woman and Demigra just added to it. I think Vegeta stole the show however with him being the lovable bastard he usually is. Hope you enjoyed this chapter.

JimmyHall24: Thank you and I hope you continue to enjoy this.

Slade42: Yeah but I'd like to think she would take it slow and get to know Janet while getting information, allowing for her to both get actual information and to learn more about the Saiyan.

Guest6: Sorry for the wait.

Mike21: I uh actually forgot about that, my bad. I'll try to fix it soon.

Warmachine375: Haha yeah the fight was fun to type but it ended in more of a tie-although Diana does have much more experience than Janet so the Amazon might've won that one (I'm kind of biased here :P). The whole thing with Demigra just adds to the story showing she needs to be careful along with making things harder for Janet and yes Batman did get that part of the recording, giving him more information to work with. Glad I got Vegeta's personality down pat, that was one thing I was worried about. As for her eyes, well it's more of a strange mutation from birth like how some humans get an extra toe or something like that-the Xenoverse game let me make the eyes that color so I did that. Oh the whole world will feel it when she does become Super Saiyan. I figured having Diana treat Janet would be something she would do and fun to type. I might do the adoption thing later on-it would be great to do. I will do the Kaio-Ken DBZ abridged moment, but it will be much later with a bad guy who can take it-not saying who but I think everyone will laugh. As for the dark side of the Saiyan race well that will show in the story.

Velzon: Thanks, it's fun typing Janet's characterization so far in this story although the power curve is the hardest hurdle because I want to try and make it equal to keep things interesting. As for Hal calling Batman 'Spooky' well I got that from his New 52 counterpart where he did that in the animated movie, they didn't really show his personality in the YJ show so I'm doing a bit of a combination of his original and New 52 personality. Arrow was informed by the League because he was in it but not there when it happened that was what I meant.

Guest7: No just took a bit to type.

Guest8: Sorry for the wait.

As for the poll well here are the results for the pairing.
