So yes, I am officially the worst person on the planet when it comes to keeping up with fics. BUT I just finished re-watching all of YJ so I could get my inspiration back for this one and the other continuous one I'm writing. I'll try to update more frequently. Also sorry this chapter is so short but I hope you like it nonetheless!

"So when do we get to go into the field?" Wally asked over a mouthful of cookies. It was much later in the day – everyone had finished their testing, and the teammates were all standing in the main cave with Batman and Black Canary, awaiting their results.
"Not so fast, Kid," Black Canary smirked at him. "I admire your eagerness, but you're not quite ready yet. Though all of you did pass your tests within the highest percentiles, there are still some things we need to cover before we can assign you your first official mission."
"Combat training begins tomorrow morning at six a.m.," Batman said somberly, and Wally groaned inwardly to himself. "Black Canary will teach you basic maneuvers and moves, and once you've each taken a turn with her, we'll split you up into teams and have you spar with each other."
"And then we get to go out in the field?" Wally leaned forward excitedly, and Artemis, on the other side of the room, scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"No, idiot," she snapped. "Then we have to do weapons training."
He glared at her while Black Canary spoke.
"Artemis is right," she said. "Weapons training comes after combat. After that, we'll put you through a few practice exercises to see how well you work together."
"Hey, what about a team leader?" Dick spoke up, stealing one of Wally's cookies. "Don't we have to elect one or something?"
"I was getting to that," Black Canary smiled at him. "During each practice exercise you go through, each of you will take turns as leader of the team. At the final end of the testing, you will all unanimously vote on a leader amongst yourselves."
"Sounds fair," Artemis said, already forming a plan in her mind to figure out how to lead the team. She wanted to prove herself, and being elected was the best way to do that.
"And then we get to go into the field?" Wally was practically bouncing on his feet.
"Yes," Batman nodded. "At the end of the month, when your training is complete, I will assign you your first mission."
"However, you're all done for today," Black Canary said. "Congratulations all of you on passing your tests. You should relax and rest up for tomorrow. You're going to need your energy."
