AUTHOR'S NOTE! PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING!

So I got a lot of reviews asking what was going on. It was explained last chapter, but since a good half dozen or so people asked, I'll repeat it here.

Klarion the Witch Boy set a trap for the Team that catapulted our beloved

heroes into the vast reaches of the multiverse. Their first stop was in the

home of a team of heroes called the Avengers. After a bit of a misunderstanding, the do-gooders of the Young Justice (plus Phantom) find

themselves on the run, resulting in many battles on their five day visit. In

the last of these altercations, the teens suddenly find themselves spiraling

yet again through the multiverse.

Arc 3 pt 2 : Flames of the Dying Will

BOOOMM!

Robin's head spins as he tries to make sense of the sudden change in location. He had been about to land on that spear wielding sorcerer, and then he was here, all alone, in the middle of a war-torn street in what appeared to be somewhere in Italy.

It was havoc, with the buildings all around him in ruin, the vehicles all either crushed or flipped over, and fire everywhere. And he meant everywhere. Whether it was a small blaze (like the one in the pothole to his left) or a full-blown bonfire (like the one in the car halfway down the street) everything seemed to by on fire in some way or another.

What surprised Robin most was that there were no people around, not even firemen to try and put the street out.

It was just... deserted.

The sharp rat-a-tat-tat of gunfire split the air, close enough to be barely a block away.

Well, at least Robin had a target now. His teammates would probably make their way to the fight if they were nearby as well, so hopefully he could kill two birds with one stone and stop that battle that was ravaging this city and find his friends at the same time.

The teen hero sets out toward the sounds of the gun fight, running down the street while dodging what of the wreckage he can.

As he turns the corner, the building above him groans. Robin looks up just in time to see a large chunk of it falling towards him. He twists, planting his feet and jumping away from the downfall of concrete and shrapnel.

Not fast enough.

The wreckage lands on his (thankfully reinforced) boots and traps him in place, causing red-hot pain to rip up his legs.

He slowly catches his breath and forces the pain into a box in his brain, just like he was taught to. Once he's able to think clearly again, he contorts himself the best he can to take a look at the damage.

He knows just by looking that he's stuck, and that if the concrete debris had landed any other way, he would have probably have had to amputate at least one of his legs. As it is, he will have a fractured leg at worst. Not that he can tell how bad it is at the moment, considering both of them hurt.

A shout in Italian (Italy, yep, called it) draws his attention forward, where a group of men, looking weary and worn in their torn up suits is heading towards him. Despite their beaten appearance, they're all wearing nasty grins, obviously liking the easy target the trapped Boy Wonder makes.

One of them snaps something at another, too far for Robin to make out what they're saying. The second man raises the gun he has in his hand, and Robin's eyes widen.

He wouldn't be able to escape this.

"Sistema C.A.I.!"

The bullet that no doubt would have been the teen hero's end is blocked by what looks like a giant targeting reticle that has red flames coming off it.

A man walks into Robin's field of view. He's dressed impeccably in a well tailored suit over a red dress shirt, which is at odds with his pierced ears and roguishly styled silver hair.

Across from them, the group of men begin to panic, yelling about the Vongola Tenth Generation and the Storm Guardian – though why they're so scared of a clam*, Robin has no clue.

The man in front of him abruptly moves, swiping his arm across his waist and raising it to reveal a suddenly there weapon now on his arm that he points at the group who started running away as soon as he moved. "Flame Arrow!" he shouts, and a red beam of energy leaves the thing on his arm.

Robin doesn't have time to figure out if those people were hit or not, as the silverette turns toward him.

"Can you understand me?" he asks, walking to stand next to the trapped boy.

"Yes." Robin stares up at him wearily, not sure what this person was doing.

The stranger reaches out, placing his hand against the rubble keeping the youngest Bat-kid captured. There's a red flash, then the concrete block disintegrates from around him.

The man grabs Robin's arm and slings it around his shoulders.

The teen immediately begins to struggle. "Wait, what are you – ?"

He glares down at him with pale green eyes. "Stop moving!" he snarls. "We have to get out of here before more of the Infetto* Famiglia* show up. Or do want to face them in your state?"

He has a point, Robin admits to himself. He allows the stranger to situate him on the silverette's back and start a brisk pace down the street. They walk for three blocks, ducking into every other alleyway to make sure they're not being followed.

Finally, they reach a car that's engine is idling. The man helps Robin inside, then gets in himself, turning to the driver that the teen hadn't noticed and barking at him to go.

Robin worriedly looks out the window as he watches the ruined city fly by. He hoped his friends weren't in there somewhere.

They leave the city, driving into the country side until they get to a large mansion and drive through it's gates.

"Why are we here? Why have you brought me here?" Robin looks searchingly at his rescuer/abductor.

"You'll see in a minute," he grunts.

They reach the front door and are allowed out of the vehicle, the stranger carrying him piggyback again up the staircase and inside. They head up another staircase and, once at the top, down a complicated series of hallways that Robin memorizes, just in case he needs to make a run for it. Not that he'd get far, but it's the principle of the matter.

Robin perks up slightly. That sounded like KF's voice. Was he here?

The stranger walks to a pair of doors at the end of the hall, which are opened by two servants, allowing for voices to spill out, and for the Boy Wonder to see in.

He feels relief flood through him at the sight of his teammates already in the room.

As the walk in, the other teen heroes turn toward them.

"Robin!" Miss Martian shouts and leaves her seat to rush over, the rest of the Team following. "Are you okay? Hello, Megan, he's being carried. Of course he's not okay! Where are you hurt? What happened?"

The teen opens his move to answer, but the stranger interrupts, this time in slightly accented English. "If you would move so I could put him down!"

The Team moves, allowing the man to set him down on one of the couches and backs off. Another man, also with white hair and wearing the same type of suit – except for the fact his shirt was yellow instead of red, took his place to look over Robin's legs.

A throat clearing attracts everyone's attention to a young man, who appears younger than the others. He has fluffy light brown hair and orange eyes, and is also wearing a suit, just with an orange shirt. The stranger who protected Robin stands to his right.

To his left stands a black haired man with calming grey eyes. He wears a blue shirt with his suit and has a sword resting on his back.

The orange wearing one begins to speak, in accented English, while gazing calmly at Robin. "My name is Tsunayoshi Sawada. This is Takeshi Yamamoto, my Left Hand," he motions to the black haired man. "That is Ryohei Sasagawa," he points to the man looking over Robin's legs, who's hands are now glowing yellow, which seems to be speeding up the healing process. "And you've already met Hayato Gokudera, my Right Hand." The silverette who brought him here nods. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Robin."

"You, too, uh..." Robin trails off, not really sure how to address him.

Thankfully, he understands. "Please, call me Tsuna."

Robin nods as the man at his feet, Ryohei Sasagawa, stands and walks away to lean against the wall by the door.

Tsuna studies them all, his eyes landing on Aqualad, who was standing next to the couch Robins sitting on. "I promised you an explanation once your team was whole, so I will begin now.

"The first thing you need to understand is that we have a... tentative ally who can see into different dimensions, and another who can see into the future. They both warned us of your arrival, as well as your situation.

"We do not have magic in our world, not in the same way you have in yours' but we do have technology for dimensional travel, so while we cannot break the curse you are under, we can guide you to a dimension that does.

"And before you say anything, yes we know the transition to our world was a surprise to you, but our allies were quite confident that you would have five days here before you are forced to move on.

"That being said, you are more then welcome to remain here with us until that time is up and we are able to light your way. The only thing I ask is that you do not venture outside, as we are the middle if a crisis and would prefer if you stayed out of it."

The Team exchange looks, then all turn to their leader for his verdict.

"Very well," the Atlantean says. "We will abide by your rules."

~! #$%^&*()_+

The next five days are spent in the company of Tsuna and his men, meeting and talking with the technicians in charge of the R&D Department, or (when they could sneak away from their minders) exploring the manor and learning a bit more about this dimension. All they'd been to discover is that the entire world had been thrown into chaos because of the Infetto Famiglia, the same people Robin had encountered when Gokudera – who would not let them call him by his first name – had found him.

They did obey the order to not leave the mansion, though that was just because the teens were afraid of losing their chance to go home, and that they would end up a burden if they did leave.

Finally, just before the end of the fifth day of being in this world,the Team gathered in the lab where the portal was with Tsuna, his two second-in-commands, and the three techs in charge.

"It was a pleasure to meet you all." The brunette says gently, shaking Aqualad's hand.

"The pleasure was ours," the Atlantean returns.

Tsuna smiles, radiating a soft warmth with the simple gesture. "I wish you a safe journey."

FLOOOOSSHH!

(AN)

That's chapter nine.

For those not in the know, this was a crossover with Katekyo Hitman Reborn, an Anime that I absolutely adore, and would definitely recommend it.

PhantomGoat13 : Yes, he is.

kimcat : I would love to include the Secret Trio, but I wouldn't be able to do it justice, since I never really watched AD:JL or RC:NGN.

reader238 : I guess? I mean, I didn't really have a back story for that, but that works.

cool : Here's what happens.

*Vongola means Clam in Italian.

*Infected in Italian.

*Family in Italian.

Thank you all for reading.

Can anyone guess which universe we're going to next?
