Hello you nerds and geeks, your man is here with a new story, this time, a Young Justice story. Now, if you read the date and it's like 13 years ahead of season 1, don't panic, I changed the dates a bit to fit in with modern times. And now, I'm done with college and on summer break, finally. So y'all are gonna be seeing more of me now.
Date: August 20th, 2023
Location: Houston, Texas
A lone warehouse supposedly abandoned.
In a lone warehouse in the middle of Houston, stood the base of operations for a human trafficking ring. This particular one had been lucky to have kept its operations going for as long as it has for the past year and a half. However, their luck had just run out, for they have become prey, for the predator that protects the city.
One of the goons was guarding the… "Merchandise", which consisted of boys and girls no older than 16.
Goon 1: "Shame we can't sample the merchandise, I'd love a taste of one of you pretty, little things."
The creepy goon then brushed his hand against a young girl, licking his lips, making the girls whimper in fear.
Goon 2: "Hey man cut it out, you know how the boss is."
Goon 1 then turned to Goon 2 and rolled his eyes.
Goon 1: "Yeah yeah, whatever, I'm just messing around."
The boss in question was Luis Delgado. A known trafficker who has connections with the Gulf and Sinaloa cartels. He's been on the FBI watchlist for years now, with no chance of success in catching him. He's responsible for shipping out thousands upon thousands of trafficked boys and girls, of all ages, all over the continent. Little does he know, his reign of terror is about to end.
All of a sudden the power cuts out, all the lights go dark. Confused, Delgado stood up.
Delgado: "What the hell is this?"
Goon 3: "I don't know boss."
Soon they heard crashing and gunfire, as well as the panicked screams of his men. With the men, they were being completely wrecked by three unknowns.
The first unknown was a big man, at least 6'3", and over 200 lbs of pure muscle. He was easily tanking any blow the thugs made against him. This was the vigilante known as "Tank". Super strength and hyper durability, he could, "Tank", any hit that came his way. His real name was Kevin Walker. He's the muscle of the team.
The second unknown vigilante was a sharpshooter who knew their way around a gun well. He could shoot the nutsack off a bull at 200 yards, just eyeballing it. This was the vigilante known as "Crosshairs". High precision with his M24A3 rifle, he's able to pick off some of the other goons who were trying to attack his teammates. This was Carter Anderson from Australia. He was the brains and weapons expert of the team.
The final unknown vigilante was also the youngest one, but also the most brutal. He was around 5' 8" and very athletic. However, he's got the acrobatics of a gymnast and the skills of 2nd-degree black belt in Tang Soo Do. This is the vigilante known as "Blackhawk". Donning a full face mask, body armor, dual grappe gauntlets that double as retractable blades, and flamethrower/cutting torch. He also has a few more projectile weapons such as Remington R5 GCP, Remington M10, and dual sig saur m18s. This was the leader of the team.
The two vigilantes then made their way to the up to Delgado's office, after killing the last goon. Tank kicked open the door, sending it flying into one of the bodyguards, knocking him out. The other bodyguard tried to fire at Tank, but Blackhawk shot the man dead. Then, the younger vigilante walked up to Delgado who was reaching for his own handgun, to which Blackhawk cut the man's hand off before grabbing him by the throat.
When Blackhawk spoke, it was a modulated voice
Blackhawk: you wanna know what I do to scumbag traffickers like you?
The terrified trafficker shook his head.
Blackhawk: First… I do some castration… then… after 10 miniutes of your screams, I drive this blade, through your fuckin' Jaw.
Delgado was terrified at the figure holding him.
Delgado: P-P-Please… h-have mercy…
Blackhawk: God is merciful… I'm not…
You could hear the terrified and pained screams of the drug dealer from the brutal torture the merciless vigilante puts him through.
The next day…
Location: Happy Harbor, Rhode Island
Time: 9:00 AM
Word had gotten around quickly about the bust of the human traffickers. What stood out was the FBI finding Delgado's corpse. How they found him… well… it wasn't pretty. Delgado was stripped naked, his cock and balls severely mutilated, and his head with a stab wound going from the bottom of his jaw and out the top of his head.
Thankfully, all the boys and girls were unharmed in the encounter, just the traffickers. However, something was strange, as all the money that had belonged to the traffickers was gone, not a dollar anywhere.
Soon, the media got ahold of the death of the human traffickers, and eventually made its way to the League, on Batman's desk. Bruce Wayne looked over the news article and the report made by the State troopers. Narrowing his eyes, he was interested in the group who took down this ring so viciously, with much vengeance.
He then made his way to meet with the team residing in Mount Justice. This group consists of Kaldur'ahm as Aqualad, Dick Grayson as Robin, Wally West as Kid Flash, Artemis Crock as Artemis, M'gann Morzz as Miss Martian, Connor Kent as Superboy, and Kara Danvers as Supergirl.
Batman: As you know, we got reports of a human trafficking ring being taken down swiftly and efficiently.
Robin: yeah usually the police do things like this.
Batman: only this wasn't the police. This was the work of a new group of vigilantes.
Kid Flash: Big deal, so who are these new wannabe heroes?
Batman: I believe this is the work of a group that calls themselves the Renegades.
Robin: you mean those vigilantes that protect Houston, and basically have the criminals scared straight? Bruce nods.
Batman: This is a situation where we can't just stand by and let this continue. Their intentions are good, but the way they go about doing them. In the past 3 months, they have killed dozens upon dozens of cartel members, human traffickers, drug dealers, mafia members, and other dangerous criminals. Even outside criminals quickly realized that Houston is not the place a criminal would like to reside in.
Aqualad: What do you want us to do?
Batman: I want you to bring these members to us, so I can give them an ultimatum. Either cease their brutal methods of crime fighting and become a part of the League, or be arrested and put on trial for their crimes.
Aqualad: It will be done, Batman.
Batman: Be warned, they are extremely territorial, and don't take too kindly to other members of the league treading on their territory.
The team nods and prepares to head out. As they were preparing, KF was annoyed that this was gonna be easy.
Kid-Flash: I thought we were supposed to fight villains and go on actual missions, not find common criminals in a city in the south.
Robin: Yeah but apparently these guys have become such a big problem to the point that we have to be involved. It's only a matter of time before an innocent gets caught in the crossfire.
Aqualad: Agreed. These vigilantes may be doing good, but they're also taking lives while doing it, which isn't right.
Artemis: But they did save all those girls and boys from the traffickers, right? I mean they're not all bad, except for the whole… brutal attacks part.
Robin: Well it's like Batman said, we either convince them to join us and change their ways, or we bring them in.
Supergirl: Besides, what's a couple of regular guys gonna do against us?
The team nodded and then loaded up into the bioship, and set course for Houston, Texas.
-Scene Cut-
Date: August 22nd, 2023
Time: 10:00 PM
Location: Montgomery Texas
Lake Conroe Marina
After returning from the takedown of the trafficking ring, The Renegades then stashed the money in an underground vault they had at their business used as a front: a marina. After a celebration of taking down criminals, the leader, Anthony Meyers, Richard's Father, sat down with the three of them.
Anthony: So, what's the final total from the raid on those scumbags?
Kevin: around… 300k.
Richard: Damn… that's enough to last us a good while. But… how the hell are we supposed to take this to a bank?
Anthony: Leave that to me, son, I'll take care of it. For now, just continue the patrols as normal.
Carter: Just glad those cunts got what they deserved, and it was satisfying to see you thundercunt one of them outta window mate.
Kevin: chuckled it felt pretty damn good.
The four then stashed away all their gear along with their patrol vehicle, a Tahoe, away. Little did they know, a certain ship was making its way to Houston, housing the Justice League's covert ops.
Date: August 23rd, 2023
Time: 9:30 PM
Location: Houston Texas.
Richard was overseeing the city, geared up as Blackhawk, listening to the radio about any possible crime worth his time. Then, something caught his eye, a strange-looking ship that was descending upon the city. His eyes narrowed, wondering who was this and why they were entering his family.
Blackhawk: hm… Crosshairs, you getting this?
Crosshairs: Just got it mate, and now… Ah… lookie here, it seems those Justice Wankas got themselves a covert ops team.
Blackhawk: I thought that was just a rumor. Who's supposed to be in this covert ops team?
Crosshairs: The sidekicks of Batman, Green Arrow, Aquaman, and Flash.
Blackhawk: A junior justice league? Scoffs and why are they in our city?
Tank: Prolly from the us taking down the traffickers, and you did make one hell of an example of Delgado, Kid. So maybe that's why they're here, we generated enough heat.
Blackhawk: Sumbitch had it coming, Tank.
Crosshairs: still, you're one of the craziest yanks I know, mate.
Blackhawk: chuckled I aim to please, Crosshairs. Blackhawk out.
Blackhawk then signed off and observed the bioship pass over him, unaware that he knows of their presence. He decided to glide after them, not using his booster as to not alert the one he's tailing.
With the team, they landed in a nearby forest and exited the ship, putting on their stealth modes. KF was out and eager to catch the Renegades, and eat some Texas BBQ.
Kid Flash: Oh man… I heard they got some of the best BBQs down here.
Robin: chuckled maybe when we're done, we can try some out.
Aqualad: Focus you two. Miss Martian, mind link.
Miss M nodded and put up a mind link for everyone.
Miss Martian: The mind link is up. Let's find them.
The team then made their way into the city, not knowing one part of their objective was following close behind. Blackhawk observed through his mask, which had enhanced vision, who all was in the team.
Blackhawk: Crosshairs, I thought you said there were four, I count seven.
Crosshairs: groans bloody hell, just get me glimpses of the other three.
Blackhawk did just that, scanning all of the remainer's faces that were on the team. Crosshairs then ran their faces through facial recognition to figure out who they were, and see what connections to the Leauge they have.
Crosshairs: Hm, the green sheila looks like she's the niece of that Martian Manhunter bloke. And the cunt wearing the superman shirt… looks like he's a clone of superman, but can't fly, use heat vision, or freeze breath. Oh… and the blondie is Kara Kent, the cousin of Superman.
Blackhawk: hm… this might be a problem. Good news, I have a way to deal with Martians, as a last resort. As for Kryptonians, I hope we don't have to use what we found at Lexcorp against the Kryptonians.
Crosshairs: Mate if you hurt one of them, the league will be on our ass in no time, all because you decided to be a dumb cunt.
Blackhawk: don't worry, It'll just be a warning. Blackhawk out.
The vigilante then kept on tailing the four heroes, who then decided to split up in the city. Humming to himself he decided to find the one that matched his skills the best: Robin. Unfurling his wingsuit, he decided to make his presence known, and to lure Robin in.
With the Boy Wonder, he heard the engine of the Blackhawk's wingsuit, flying over the city.
Robin: I think I found one of our renegades, tailing him now.
Aqualad: Acknowledged Robin, as soon as you got a lock on him, tell us where.
Robin: Copy that.
He began to pursuit the vigilante, who's plan was working just fine.
Blackhawk: chuckled just as I planned…
Richard then led Robin to a warehouse just beyond the limits of the city and landed on the roof.
Robin: he just stopped, sending the location now.
Aqualad: copy that. Everyone get on Robin's location now.
Robin then walked into the building, aware that he knows that a potentially dangerous vigilante in the building. Then… all of a sudden, he heard a deep, modulated voice.
Blackhawk: Boy wonder… walked out to show himself in front of Robin What a pleasant surprise… wanna tell me what the hell you and the rest of your Junior Justice League is doing in my city?
Robin: Because you're a vigilante that needs to be kept under control.
Blackhawk: Hard pass kid. I'm only gonna say this once. This is my turf. Leave now.
The rest of the team then showed up, with Richard smirking under his mask.
Blackhawk: Ah the gang is all here… Now I can tell the rest of the kids that Houston is under my eye.
Aqualad: We came here to talk.
Blackhawk: what's there to talk about? I'm doing my job, taking care of criminals like you are.
Robin: Except we don't murder anyone.
Blackhawk: They're just paying for their penance against those that they hurt. This way they can't harm anyone else more than they already have.
Kid Flash: Look, just come with us alright? This way no one gets hurt.
Supergirl: Besides, you're severely outnumbered, just give it up
Blackhawk: Hell will freeze over before that happens speedy gonzales.
With that, he threw a flash bang and hopped out of the window before taking off in his suit. As the team got their bearings back together, Kid flash then rushed out to chase after the vigilante, with Supergirl right behind them.
Blackhawk: Blackhawk to the nest, I got the Junior Justice league on my ass, I need ideas.
Crosshairs: hm… who's currently after you?
Blackhawk: looks back I got Supergirl and Kid flash on my ass. I got an idea for Kid flash, but for supergirl, I'm hesitant about using it.
Crosshairs: Mate, ya may not have a choice. The only option I can give to you is to find a place to make sure she won't be hurt too badly.
Blackhawk: understood.
With supergirl on his ass, Richard descended to an area over Lake Houston. When Supergirl got near, he quickly turned around, and opened a pouch, revealing a small crystal of kryptonite that was stolen from Lexcorp.
This shocked Kara and immediately crashed into the water as she was weakened by the radiation of the rock. Richard then closed it up and flew away. Kid Flash then noticed Supergirl crash into the water and panicked.
Kid Flash: Supergirl is down, she fell into a lake. I think she got hit with kryptonite. I'm on him.
Richard then landed in a forest where Kid flash ran around looking for him, frustrated that he can't find someone who's supposed to be a regular guy. Then he heard cackling.
Blackhawk: Waaaaaalllllllyyyyyyy…
KF was shocked that this guy knew his name. He then ran around trying to find him. Getting more and more frustrated by not finding him, along with the vigilante taunting the speedster. He kept on running and then stopped. That's when he heard this.
Blackhawk: sleepy night night, speedy… used anesthetic gas on KF
Richard then used this opportunity to escape and head back home, as he knew the team would be recuperating after the encounter.
-Scene Cut-
After waking up from the anesthetic-induced sleep, Wally woke up in the bioship surrounded by the team. Groaning he sat up.
Wally: What… What the hell happened?
Dick: He somehow got the drop on you, that's what, on both of you.
Kara: He had… Kryptonite… but how?
Artemis: I think it has something to do with that Lexcorp break in months ago. Apparently someone stole a lot of tech from the place matching the description of our mystery men, the Renegades.
Kaldur: Well whoever they are, they're now confirmed to be dangerous and not be taken lightly. Last known direction the vigilante was heading was Northwest. That's where we head.
The team nodded and flew the Bioship in the direction. Meanwhile, the Renegades were tense.
Anthony: We all knew this was gonna happen eventually, but never this soon. We are still trying to nail the Gulf Cartel and now we gotta worry about these wannabe heroes trying to round us all up. looked at Richard Right now… you're a liability, good news is they didn't see your face or hear your real voice.
Richard: right but they're no doubt searching for someone in a black bodysuit flying around carrying a bird name.
Carter: Mate, I agree with Anthony, you need to be benched. Let me and Kevin deal with this. We got more experience with this than you.
Richard: sighs Understood.
Anthony: tomorrow, will be the same routine as normal. Don't engage them if you spot them.
The three nodded and went back to their homes. When Richard got ready for bed, he sat in silence, contemplating about what had occurred. He then pulled out his cross, asking for guidance with a prayer. Richard then made a note to go to his priest for a confession and wisdom tomorrow.
Outro song is "I don't care anymore" By Phil Collins.
Well you can tell everyone I'm a down disgrace
Drag my name all over the place
I don't care anymore
You can tell everybody 'bout the state I'm in
You won't catch me crying 'cause I just can't win
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore, d'you hear?
I don't care what you say
I don't play the same games you play
'Cause I've been talking to the people
that you call your friends
And it seems to me there's a means to an end
They don't care anymore
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind
I don't care anymore
I don't care no more
I don't care what you say
We never played by the same rules anyway
I won't be there anymore
Get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
Well, I don't care now what you say
'Cause every day I'm feeling fine with myself
And I don't care now what you say
Hey, I'll do alright by myself
'Cause I don't
'Cause I remember all the times I tried so hard
And you laughed in my face 'cause you held the cards
I don't care anymore
And I really ain't bothered what you think of me
'Cause all I want of you is just to let me be
I don't care anymore
Do you hear, I don't care no more
I don't care what you say
I never did believe you much anyway
I won't be there no more
So get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore
Do you hear, I don't care anymore
I don't care no more
You listening? I don't care no more
No more
Oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah
You know I don't care no more
Don't care no more
No more, no more, no more
Don't care no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more
So that's it for chapter 1. It may be a bit wonky, but I promise it will get better. I hope all of y'all have a good day/evening and God Bless!
