A/N: So sorry for not updating on forever everyone! I've been really busy and I went to a beach resort with my friends for a week with slow internet. Anyways, please review if you want to, not pressure and I hope you enjoy the next few chapters. Something big is going to happen! :)
5:45 p.m in the Watchtower…
Some of the Justice League sat around the silver table. Batman was at the part of the table with the built in computer followed by: Nightwing, Kid Flash, Flash, Superboy, Superman, Miss Martian, Martian Manhunter, Red Arrow, Artemis, Green Arrow, Zatanna, Zatara, Aqualad, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Black Canary. "Right, you all probably know why I called this meeting. Thank you Aqualad, Miss Martian and Superboy for leaving your missions for this." Batman said.
"Anytime." M'gann said.
"We need to talk about the new Young Justice Beta team." Batman said. The other heroes nodded. "Nightwing, report?" Nightwing looked up from his computer and put the image of the team up.
"Okay, so today, we did basic ability training with them. First, Matthew, a.k.a Dash." He said, flipping to the picture of Dash.
"Dash had a great test, reaching his top speed, no problem. His oxygen intake was normal the entire time. The thing is, we need to make sure that he can control his speed all the time, working on going through solid objects and using his speed in other ways." Kid Flash said, taking over Nightwing.
"My protégés are always like this. Can reach top speed, break the sound barrier… takes after me." Flash said, smirking. Batman gave him a glare. "I was just joking!" Flash defended himself. He and Wally laughed. "In all seriousness, we just need to make sure that he doesn't go too far with his speed and well we haven't tested out other factors like strength." Nightwing said. Batman nodded.
"So, Dash is quite ready to officially join the team as he will not bring the team any danger. Any objections?" Everyone shook their heads.
"Okay, next, Owen, a.k.a Relic." Nightwing said, flipping to Owen's picture.
"Owen seemed like he could control his powers, but I don't know if he can manage to control the range and extent he uses them." Zatanna said.
"He can normally do it, he just probably thinks that his powers are not manly." Black Canary said. Batman nodded.
"He shouldn't be ashamed." Wonder Woman said to Black Canary.
"I know!" Black Canary said, appreciating someone thought the same thing. Superman coughed. "Anywayssss I'm pretty sure he'll be a good asset to the team, he seems like he is in good shape and we can help him adjust his powers." Zatanna continued. Batman nodded once again. "So, any objections to him officially joining the team?" Everyone shook their heads. "Okay, moving on. Niightwing, who's next?"
"Mika, a.k.a Kage." Nightwing said, flipping to Mika's picture.
"She did well, showing us how she can produce illusions etc. We just mainly need to work on her powers on a larger scale." Artemis said.
"Don't pressure her though okay?" Zatara said. Zatanna looked at her dad.
"Dad, relax. Don't worry she's okay with us." Zatara softened, remembering when Zatanna first joined the team. "So, we'll work on that. She has cool powers. She'd be great at recon missions." Kid Flash said. Batman nodded.
"So, any objections?" Everyone shook their heads. "Great. Next?
"James "Jimmy" a.k.a Gray Ghost." Nightwing said.
"Jimmy has awesome powers, I mean he has telepathy, slight super strength, he can become intangible-" Kid Flash started.
"Okay Kid fanboy, settle down." Artemis said. Kid Flash stuck his tongue out at her.
"Have you seen his ability to possess things?" Wonder Woman asked.
"No, we have not seen that yet, but we need to make sure he can master his telepathy powers first because it might give him too much mental stress." Artemis said. "Wait, he can possess things? YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THAT!" Kid Flash yelled. Artemis laughed at him. Wally sat down, muttering something along the lines of not telling him anything. "He has interesting powers. The team could use that." Aquaman said. Batman nodded. "We'll check up on how he holds up later on, but I think he would be a good asset. Anyone disagree?" No one said anything.
"Okay, we have two more. Dominick Carlyle, a.k.a Relic." Nightwing said, flipping to a picture of Dominick. "He's another archer. Pretty good actually. He'll be a good asset." Artemis said. "Yeah. Every team needs an archer." Green Arrow said.
"Unless that archer is annoying." Black Canary replied. Green Arrow looked at her with a face that said 'What did I do now?'. "Anyways, as I was saying, I agree with GA. A team needs those few friends without superpowers." Nightwing said. The Young Justice team nodded. "We'll help him with his longer distance accuracy and we'll teach him how to use specific arrows." Artemis added on.
"Good, well, anyone want to object?" Batman said. Silence… "Alright."
"Okay, finally, Aaliyah Trax-Wayne… a.k.a Delta." Nightwing said, looking down a bit. He knew what was going to happen next. "Delta has an amazing ability to make people feel emotions through telepathy. Although, during training today, she umm she…" Zatanna started.
"We know what happened. She almost killed Dash." Red Arrow cut her off. Nightwing stood up. "She didn't mean it! She just lost control!" He yelled at Red Arrow. Red Arrow stood up as well. "It's okay if she did, but what happens when she loses control is insane! This is Dash we're talking about! If she almost did that to him, what would happen if she lost control again? He's just lucky that you guys were there!" You could see the rage in Nightwing's face.
"She's going to learn how to control it! We just need time! We don't give up on people and I am not going to give up on my own sister!" He yelled. Zatanna, Kaldur and Artemis tried to sit both of the boys down, but it failed.
"She may be your sister, but it's clouding your judgment! How many people are going to get hurt until you realize that she is dangerous!" Red Arrow softened a bit, remembering how much time he used to spend with her. " 'Wing, I know that this is her alter-ego we're talking about, but it's going too far!" He yelled, a bit quieter. Nightwing looked at him. "I'll help her, she's a good person." Red Arrow looked down. "Listen, we can try our best, but we need to think about what will happen if she really can't control her powers. We can't risk someone like Joker finding out about what she can do."
"He won't don't worry. We can get her to control her powers." Batman said. This silenced the two boys. "We can get her to control her powers, but you two fighting will not solve anything." Aqualad said. The two boys sat down.
"Alright. We will keep her on the team until we think she cannot control her powers at all. If she can't… well let's not think about that." Superman said.
"On a lighter note, how's the team doing with each other? Do they all get along?" Black Canary asked, in an effort to relieve the tension. "Oh yeah. I mean, most of them have gotten along before, Matt and Jimmy have known each other since, well since I don't know and they all are really close friends." Wally said.
"Yeah and Oliver is settling in well. He and Mika have a lot of fights, but I think it may have been like Artemis and Wally. There's a chance they might like each other." Zatanna said.
"What?" Zatara asked. Zatanna looked at her dad and smiled.
"Don't worry dad, we'll keep an eye on them both."
"It's not that, it's more like if they do date then they better tell me unlike you and Nightwing." Zatara said, eyeing Nightwing. He blushed.
"It's okay dad." Zatanna laughed.
"Okay. And Matt and Delta are dating as you all know." Nightwing said.
"Yes, I approved of it, but Flash, I swear if he hurts her at all, he's dead to me." Batman said.
"Don't worry Bats! Flashes are the greatest boyfriends." Flash said. Batman eyed Flash. "Yeah and they're pretty much a dream team. She has those powers and the smarts and the fighting and he's got the strength and the speed. He's fast and she's flexible." Wally said. Nightwing and Batman glared at him.
"I didn't mean it that way!" Wally defended himself. Artemis laughed.
"Right, so the teens seem to be alright overall, we just need to keep an eye on Delta. I have a feeling they may have their first mission soon so we will see how they work as a group." Batman said. The heroes nodded.
"Nightwing, Zatanna, both of you to go back to them tomorrow. To check up etc." Superman said. They both nodded.
"Okay. Meeting adjourned." Batman said, standing up. One by one, the heroes left to go and live their 'normal' lives.
