Chapter 113: Young Justice (1):
Robin's POV:
Three Years Later.
My name is Tim Drake. Three years ago, I met the Justice League as they were keeping me safe from Lex Luthor. He was after a Mother Box I found. Anyway, now I'm the new Robin the Boy Wonder.
"Robin," says Batman, "we have to get going!"
"So, who we taking out," I asked.
Batman then takes a look. "Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, King Shark, Clayface, and... Dr. Psycho? I didn't think even Quinn would team up with that monster. Let's go."
. . .
We arrived as the five were stealing trophies from a high school. "You see," asks Quinn, "these are going to make us rich."
"Word of advice," I said, "don't let Harley Quinn be the mastermind."
"It's Batman and Robin," says Dr. Psycho.
We then faced the five.
"We got ya outnumbered," says Quinn.
"Do you," asks Batman.
Clayface then grabs King Shark and Dr. Psycho.
"Sorry, but I... kind of reformed and joined Batman," says Clayface.
"If ya can't trust a shapeshifter, who can ya trust," asks Quinn.
Batman faced Poison Ivy. "It's not too late," says Batman, "we can still help you, Dr. Isley."
"Dr. Isley's been gone for three years," says Poison Ivy as she has her plants attack Batman.
I took on Quinn. "You ain't nothin' like Nightwing," says Quinn.
"No, but I am smarter than you," I said.
"Why, 'cause I didn't know Clayface was a traitor," asks Quinn.
"No, because you're holding that mallet over your head." I then threw a birdarang and it cuts through the mallet handle, causing it to knock Quinn out.
"Harley," asks Ivy. Batman takes the opportunity to take her down.
"Let's go," says Batman.
. . .
We arrived at the old Secret Sanctuary. Remade after all these years after Joker wrecked the place. Though, before this thing called 'the Crisis', it was destroyed by Lex Luthor and Deathstroke. Speaking of Luthor, he's on the TV now.
"...that is why as President, I plan to make up for the crimes I have committed," says Luthor, "especially towards the Justice League."
"I brought Robin over," says Batman.
"Good," says Superman, "you can all come out now."
Conner Kent aka Superboy. Cloned from Superman and Lex Luthor. Created to be Superman's replacement, but now he learns from Superman. He has the same powers.
M'gann M'orzz aka Miss Martian. Martian Manhunter's White Martian Niece. Yeah, he's related to a White Martian. Weird, huhh? Anyway, she came to Earth and J'onn is teaching her. I also think she has a crush on Superboy.
Cissie King-Jones aka Arrowette. Her mother forced her to become a crimefighter, but Green Arrow's helping her.
Jaime Reyes aka Blue Beetle. Jaime found the mysterious scarab and it bonded with him. He's the third Blue Beetle and because he was friends with the second, Booster Gold's acting as his mentor... and is a surprisingly good mentor.
Bart Allen aka Kid-Flash. You saw him team up with the Justice League against Marionette Ventures. He's the future grandson of Flash, Mister Miracle, and Big Barda. He used to go by Impulse, but now he uses Wally West's name.
Courtney Whitmore aka Stargirl. She found the mysterious cosmic staff and now uses it to fight crime as the patriotic Stargirl. She's also the only one of us who doesn't have a mentor.
"Robin, Superboy, Miss Martian, Arrowette, Blue Beetle, Kid-Flash, and Stargirl," says Superman, "welcome to Young Justice. Here, we will train you. The Red Tornado will keep watch over you."
"So, he's our babysitter," asks Kid Flash.
"We just all felt you guys needed adult supervision," says Superman.
Then the Trouble Alert went off. Batman takes a look. "It's Deathstroke! He's back!"
"Let's get going," says Superman. The League then leaves.
"This is awesome," I said, "we might join the Justice League one day!"
"Great," says Arrowette, "I'm only doing this to get away from my Mom."
"But maybe I could convince you to stay," says Kid-Flash.
"Aren't you a little young for me," asks Arrowette, "you haven't even been born yet."
"I just want some action," says Superboy, "I don't do well if I get too bored."
"It would be nice to get out," says Miss Martian.
"I still want to know why this staff chose me," says Stargirl.
"Don't worry Guys," I said, "we'll all get our chance, right Red?"
"Affirmative," says Red Tornado, "you just need to wait for the right time."
"You see," I said, "now, if you excuse me..."
"You gonna spy on Cluemaster's daughter again," asks Blue Beetle.
"Maybe," I said.
Mirror's POV:
Plastique, Parasite, Livewire, Neutron, and I were invited to an unknown location.
"Greetings, allow me to introduce myself, I am Omega Knight! I have assembled you here for..."
"Stop right there," says Livewire, "I got news for you, Luthor, Lord Havok, Reverse Flash, Cheetah, and Toyman have all tried to villain team thing. They all failed."
"The difference is, I have a plan that actually works," says Omega Knight, "you're going to take a certain corpse for me."
"And what is this corpse," asks Plastique.
"Doomsday," says Omega Knight.
We were all shocked.
"You want us to find the dead body of the monster Superman died fighting," asks Neutron.
"Do this for me and you will be rewarded," says Omega Knight.
"This sounds a little crazy even for us," says Parasite.
"The Justice League won't be a threat," says Omega Knight, "I'm creating distractions to keep them busy."
"The reward," I asked, "is it that big?"
"Indeed, it is," says Omega Knight, "and it will be worth it. But you are free to leave."
"I don't see anyone going for the exit," says Neutron.
"Then welcome to the new Injustice League," says Omega Knight.
Robin's POV:
Red Tornado was giving us a tour of the Secret Sanctuary.
"This is where Superman and Wonder Woman sparred," says Red Tornado.
Then the Trouble Alert went off again.
. . .
We went to the computer and learned there were more crimes than usual.
"That's weird," says Miss Martian, "good thing the League's been expanding."
"Yeah, but something's not right," I said, "it's too much of a coincidence."
"Honestly, I always thought it was weird multiple villains don't attack at the same time more often," says Kid-Flash.
"I think there's something else," I said.
"Hey, there's a break in at the Watchtower," says Kid-Flash, "the Canary Sisters are going to check that out."
"Maybe they could use our help," I said.
. . .
We went to the Watchtower and found the Canaries on the ground.
"What did this," asks Stargirl.
"They seem to be alive," says Blue Beetle.
We then heard a sonic scream and ran to the source.
. . .
We then saw Mirror, Plastique, Parasite, Livewire, and Neutron.
"what's going on here," asks Miss Martian.
"Simple, you kids are dealing with the Injustice League!" Parasite then uses Black Canary's sonic scream, but we moved out of the way. Kid-Flash runs towards them, but Neutron blasts him. We all took them on. We may have then outnumbered, but they're more experienced. I then realized Mirror was missing.
Mirror's POV:
By taking the form of Batman, I was able to enter the League's evidence room and I found Doomsday's corpse. Now, how was I going to bring it to Omega Knight?
"Mirror," says Robin, "this room is off limits!"
"You better stay out of this, Kid," I said.
We then fought. This kid was no match for me. I got superstrength too. I knocked him down and then the rest of the Injustice League showed up. "I got Superboy's powers," says Parasite, "so I should be able to bring this to the Boss."
"Then let's go," I said.
Robin's POV:
We were back at the Secret Sanctuary.
"We should inform the Justice League," says Red.
"No," I said, "we can't tell them. This is something we should take care of ourselves."
"That is not the best idea," says Red, "we should..."
I then used my gadgets to shut him down. "Young Justice, we got work to do," I said.
