#dcpool

Shortly after the League was found after being missing for 16 hours, DCpool had casually mentioned about going solo soon.

Something that had taken the entire team off guard.

DC makes sure to clarify that this was something they had been thinking about for a while.

It might be something they need after all of what happened.

There isn’t much the others could do, so they helped him get situated.

DCpool is in front of the Zeta Tube with his bags ready. The team is standing by his side. M’gann gives him yet another hug. M’gann: “Are you sure you have to go?” DCpool hugs her back. DCpool: “Oh c’mon M’gann. You’re acting like I’m leaving forever. I’ll still be around.” DCpool finishes the hug before pulling out some burner phones and passing them to the team. Connor: “What are these for?” DCpool: “Just a way you can get a hold of me. If you guys ever need an extra hand in something, I’m just a phone call away.” Robin: “I could find you faster.” DCpool ruffles his hair. Robin swats it affectionately. DCpool: “I know you can, but I am not going to be waking up at 3 in the morning to see you eating my food.” Artemis: “That would be Wally.” Wally: “Hey—You know what that’s accurate.” DCpool laughs before giving everyone one last hug. Kaldur: “You will be missed my friend. May your journey be safe.” DCpool: “Speaking like I go looking for trouble Nemo? Don’t worry about me! See ya later or whenever the author decides to put me back in the team!”

DCpool was scares to find after he left the cave.

Staying true to his word as to stay on a low profile and only coming when needed.

So far, the only person who seemed to have tags on him was Dick.

DC was the first one he called after moving to Bludhaven after the fight with Bruce.

DC had originally gone to Gotham afterwards to stick it to the Bat, but plans of vengeance changed after meeting someone.

Someone by the name of Jason Todd.

Any of Batman’s ‘No Meta human rule’ means nothing to DCpool when it comes to Dick and Jason.

He would eventually give DCpool a free pass into the city after Jason…

DCpool climbs up Jason’s room. DCpool: “Hey Jay, you know that burner phone only for emergencies, right? I don’t think a plant funeral counts.” Jason: “But you always said that if I needed to hide the body to always call you first.” DCpool crosses his arms. DCpool: “You’re really twisting my arm on this one kiddo.” Jason: “I just need to get rid of it before Bruce finds out.” DCpool: “… Give me 5 minutes to dig the hole, I have a shovel in the car.” Bruce kicks down the door. Jason jumps up in surprise, holding a dead plant. DC immediately tosses Jason over his shoulder and jumps out the window. DCpool: “FREEDOM!” DCpool is running on the lawn with a laughing Jason in his arms. Bruce is grabbing an emergency grappling hook and swinging down to catch them. Bruce: “DCpool! Give me my son back!” DCpool: “No! He’s my son now! I just need to get the Batadoption papers you have and sign Dick and Jay as my kids!” Bruce: “DCPOOL!” Meanwhile in Bludhaven… Dick: “…Something just happened… and I don’t know how to feel about it…”

Timeskip to season 2…

DCpool came back to the team in an unexpected way.

He would have eventually come back, but someone sped up the progress.

Thanks to one time traveling speedster, Bart Allen.

The speedster had been messing around with this weird looking thing that was in Wally’s bag.

Most of the old team had decided to do a reunion and were talking about boring mission things.

Unbeknownst to him, he accidentally pressed the silent SOS button.

It was 1 in the morning where DCpool was when he received the SOS.

He immediately puts the suit on and goes to Wally’s last known location.

Good news for him, its in the cave.

Getting into the cave was the easy part… besides accidentally setting off the caves new silent alarm.

The team is spread out and ready to face whatever intruder came in. Tim is with Cassie, Jaime, Lagan and Bart. Bart: “I still don’t know why I can’t just go speeding around and nab the guy. It’ll be done in less than a minute!” Jaime shushes him. Jaime: “Not with your ankle like that.” Cassie: “Shh! I think I hear something.” All the teens stand on guard ready to face the corner. Lagan: “I’m ready when you are Robin.” Tim looks over before he gets a foot to the stomach and sent onto his back. A sword is pointed straight at his face. Cassie, Jaime, Lagan and Bart: “Robin!” Tim looks up at his attacker… a very familiar attacker… Tim: “DC?” DCpool squints before lowering his sword. DCpool: “Timbers? What in the—Oh I know that high caffeine smell from anywhere!” DC helps Tim onto his feet before giving him a noogie. DCpool: “It’s been forever! How’s everything in old dark and broody Gotham?” Tim: “DC! We’ve talked about this!” DC just laughs before turning to the new teens. DC: “Huh?” Tim: “DCpool, meet Wondergirl, Blue Beetle, Lagoon Boy and Impulse. We are some of the new recruits to the Young Justice.” DCpool: “Good to know, but I’m kinda looking for Walls right now. I got an SOS on the burner and…” The senior team rounds the corner. Team: “DC!” DCpool: “You’re alive!” DCpool launches himself at the closest person, which just so happened to be M’gann. La’gan: “M’gann! Let my girlfriend go land lover!” DC’s neck turns so quickly at M’gann in his arms and Connor. DCpool: “…What in the name of Magneto’s helmet happened when I left!?”

After the surprising reunion, DCpool makes it clear that he would be staying to help the new recruits out.

Plus, he wanted to know what these new heroes had.

The recruits were not prepared for the storm known as DCpool.

…Well, Tim had some preparations.

He was more exposed to DC’s strange methods and often acted like a mini translator to the others.

Though that didn’t stop the other from expressing their distaste to the senior team members.

All complaints that could be summed down to one sentence.

That’s how he shows he cares.

The others aren’t convinced… until a certain event that happened on the Watch Tower.

Random new Leaguer: “Do we really need a bunch of children running around doing our jobs? I mean, look at them! They are messing up more than the villains and giving us more work than—” SHINK! CLANK! A knife was lodged right beside the Leaguers head. DCpool is glaring at him with another knife in his hand. DCpool: “Talk about my team like that again, I Dare You.” Random Leaguer: “How dare YOU even think on pulling that stunt! Do you know who I am!?” DCpool: “No. Who are you?” Random Leaguer: “I’m—” DCpool looks down, like they were searching for something on the floor. Random Leaguer: “Umm?” DCpool: “Don’t worry, I’m just looking for who cares. Hmm… There seems that one here does. Not even the Author wanted to give you a proper name, how sad.” Random Leaguer: “Now you listen—” DCpool: “No. You listen here!” DCpool steps to the Leaguer until he has cornered them. DCpool: “Talk like that about my team again and that knife will permanently replace your sternum. Got that?”

That talk was supposed to be an in-Watch Tower incident.

Too bad Batman filmed the entire thing and sent it to Nightwing.

The team saw it.

DCpool is a bit surprised seeing how much the new recruits started acting towards him, but doen’t ask many questions.

Much like the old team, DCpool is quite protective of this team as well.

He is not going to let anything happen to them as long as he is there.

No matter what kind of injury they have to recover from.

Speaking of injuries, the first time he got injured badly in front of the new team, it was certainly a day.

DCpool had just been torn in half by a huge icicle. Cassie: “DC!” The new recruits surround the body of the red vigilante. Jaime: “No…” Bart: “This can’t… But…” Tim looks sick. Dcpool’s lenses widen a bit. DCpool: “Ow… this is going to hurt in the morning. Oh. Hey kids—” Recruits: “AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” DCpool: “Calm down. Can someone pass me my legs, I kinda can’t feel them right now.” Back at the cave… Tim is sitting with Nightwing. Tim: “How do you work with this guy?” Nightwing has several flashbacks to the team and his personal adventures with DCpool. Nightwing: “You’ll get used to it eventually.”

If DCpool had known he'd be reuniting with the person who was responsible for activating his meta gene, he would have called in sick.

Or some excuse not to go.

Yet here he was.

At the Watch Tower with his team to identify a man for the League, supposedly being a target they had captured in the past.

DCpools body is immediately locked up when he sees those eyes.

Staring right into the eyes of that sick, twisted , poor excuse of a human being.

He didn't know he had started hyperventilating and mask was getting wet, and it wasn't just sweat.

DC didn't remember what was being said around him.

His sole focus was on that sick man in the other side of the glass.

His Francis as Wade would call it.

Team that doesn't know what to do with DC

These members are more in shock than anything. They had all seen DC express different emotions before, but this? Pure panic and hyperventilating? It just didn't seem possible. DCpool doesn't do panic attacks and fear... Right? Will stick back as the others try to calm DC down. Maybe acting as a wall between DC and the man. These are also the first ones to throw a punch at the man when DC mentions the torture he endured.

Connor

Artemis

Team that tries to calm DC down

These guys see the signs of a panic attack and spring into action. Whether that is taking him out of the area, holding him, talking, breathing, etc. These members are shocked to see such a strong emotion coming out of DC. It's unsettling to say the least. If DC is freaking out by just seeing this guy... What did he do? When they do find out, they are also ready to launch a fist to the guys face.

Robin

Wally

M'gann

Aqualad

Team that is ready to beat DC Francis to a pulp after getting some knowledge of what he did

Everyone (Including some of the Leaguers)

If you had asked the Young Justice that a few years in the future DCpool, their strange tank comedic relief member, would end up being a leader of a team, they would have laughed.

Not just laugh, they would have made a bet on how long it would take for something to burst into flames.

That last one would have mainly been for Robin, Kid Flash and Red Arrow.

DCpool had ‘retired’ from the team years ago in order to ‘find himself’.

He did keep in contact with the team in his own odd way.

Whether that be random visits during patrol or randomly raiding their fridges at 3 am because he needed something sweet to eat.

The new hero Nightwing was sitting on the edge of a building, looking down at Bludhaven below. It had been a couple of weeks since he started patrolling the place. So far, everything had gone smoothly. Suddenly someone covers his eyes. Nightwing instinctively twists around, punches and tackles the person down. DCpool: “Ouch…” Nightwing: “DC?” DCpool: “Who did you expect Deadpool? And when did you stop pulling your punches? It felt like I was being hit with Daddy issues and attachment problems.” Nightwing chuckles a bit before helping the red and black clad hero up. Nightwing: “Same weird DC I see.” DCpool pulls Nightwing into a noogie. DCpool: “And still the same angry bird I left at the cave—Oh no this will not do!” He starts poking at the younger hero’s new costume. DCpool: “This is a no no. How did Bats let you leave the house with that revealing outfit!? That V neck is too low for you mister!” Nightwing: “The suit is fine. And you’re not my dad.” DCpool: “First off, I think I can agree with the fans that this is an atrocious piece of fashion. Second, I’m not your dad yet. Give me a month or two to break in and get the adoption papers.” Nightwing: “What?!” DCpool: “Don’t worry I’ll make sure Jason comes too.”

The visits, however, became a bit more scares after 2 years away from the team.

They would have some random text saying he was alive, but nothing else.

No one had an eyes or ears on the ex-teammate.

That was until recently.

The new recruits for the Young Justice had recently gone on a ‘recon’ mission that ended up with them capturing 3 metas and bringing them for questioning.

A young woman that looked a bit similar to Lagoon Boy, minus the big water helmet on her head.

Another person who looked innocent enough, but Blue Beetle had told everyone that there was something living inside them… something alien.

And the last person was dude who was swearing up and down about messing up his ‘arms’.

All three of them refused to tell any of the Young Justice members anything on why they were doing at the recon sight.

But they all told them that their leader was going to find out where they were sooner than later.

Beast Boy: “Should we worried about the whole ‘our leader will find you all’ thing? Cause I’m still creeped out how that dude said it.” Impulse: “Relax! No one is going to find out the cave’s location.” Robin: “Even so, we should still keep on the look out for these guys boss.” He turns to Nightwing, Super Boy and Miss Martian. Robin: “Have any idea on who it could be?” Super Boy: “Not a clue.” Miss Martian: “I could just take a peak—” Nightwing and Super boy: “No.” Nightwing: “… Maybe—” CRASH! The alarms started blaring. Someone had breached the base. Beast Boy: “What was that about relaxing?” Impulse: “I still stand by my statement. We just need to catch the guy and that’s it.” Wondergirl: “yeah. He’s in our territory. We have the home advantage!” Lagoon Boy: “Then what are we waiting for!” Robin: “For a plan—” The wall behind them explodes. An angry DCpool comes out of the rubble. Nightwing: “DC?” DCpool: “Nightwing… you have 3 seconds to explain WHAT IN THE ABSOLUTE UNIVERSE WERE YOU ON WHEN YOU TOOK MY TEAM!” Young Justice: “YOUR WHAT?!” Oscar: “Took him long enough.” Olive inside his head: “That’s mean Oscar, you know he is trying his best.” Brie: “Oh thank goodness, I thought I was going to have a stroke if he didn’t come…” Vice from inside Brie’s head: “Brie you know I wouldn’t allow that.” Brie: “That’s an expression buddy.” Annie waved from the glass. Annie: “Hi DC!” DCpool waves back happily. DCpool: “Hey Octi! Brie Brie! And hello sugar bear!” Robin: “Mc excuse me?!” DCpool: “Zip it, Timmy or I’ll ground you.” Robin: “You’re not even my dad?” DCpool: “Not until your parents kick the bucket by the end of the year.”

Yeah… DC was not happy to hear that his team got nabbed mid mission.

It was supposed to be a simple recon mission—wait, was this how Bats and the other superdorks felt during his time in the young justice?

…He was going to have to make SO many apology baskets…

The reunion came as soon as the rest of the Young Commandos were released from their interrogation cells.

Proper introductions were made.

The team’s brains, Dr. Octopi, aka Oscar and Olive.

It causes a bit of a confusion on the name thing until DC explained it a bit like how Beetle operated except without the alien bug bit.

The team’s muscle, Vice and Brie.

Which was also explained as Beetle without the bug bit.

The teams moral support and cryptid expert Annie.

A bit of confusion about her being Atlantean, which was quickly derailed when the girl started fangirling around Lagoon boy and Aqualad.

Finally, the team leader was yours truly, DCpool.

While the teams were making polite conversations, their respected leaders were having more a more serious talk.

DCpool: “What do you mean you’re going after them? Wing, you know those are high class villains with even higher ties. I don’t even mess with them.” Nightwing: “I know but I’ve got a plan.” DCpool looked over at Kaldur. DCpool: “And you green lit this plan?” He nodded. Kaldur: “We just need some more time in infiltrating the area. Once we have our information, we should have our plan more solidified.” DCpool: “This is a serious gamble you two… how can we help?” Nightwing: “What?” DCpool: "It’s been a bit of a slow time for the team and besides, it looks like you two are going to need all the help you can get.” Kaldur pauses for a second. Kaldur: “Leadership has changed you, my friend.” DC looked over briefly at his team. Brie was showing Jaime their symbiote, Vice. Oscar was talking nerd to Tim. And Annie was happily chatting with Lagoon Boy and Miss Martian. DCpool shrugged. DCpool: “Yeah, well I’ve matured a lot.” Nightwing: “You’re still threatening to adopt Tim and I.” DCpool shushes the younger hero. DCpool: “That isn’t a threat Boy Wonder, it’s a promise… as soon as I figure out Batsy’s password…”

DCpool with Annie

DCpool is wandering around a duck pond. DCpool: "I need to start sending out those fliers for the team. It worked for Wade--" He hears crying and goes to investigate. Annie is crying on the water's edge. DCpool: "...Thank you plot convenience!"

DCpool with Olive/Oscar

DCpool is wandering around a scrapyard this time. DCpool: "There has gotta be some cheap flex tape or glue around here... Margret from the convivence store is Not getting my money today..." He hears scuffling and thinks its a rat. Instead he sees a pair of feet sticking out a pile of scrap. He goes over and pulls one of the legs and lets the dangling team in the air. Olive: "Put me down you insufferable--" DCpool: "Hey! Watch your mouth!" Olive scowls before his eyes roll back. DCpool: "What in the multiverse--" Oscar: "Oh! I'm sorry if I caused any trouble here. You see I was looking for some spare parts..." DCpool internally: "I came here looking for tape, I'm leaving here with a fusion of Doc Ock meets Moon Knight. Two for the price of One!"

DCpool and Brie/Vice

Like many of the others, DCpool was left in the dark about the undercover situation.

He remembered clearly seeing Kaldur stabbing Artemis.

He remembered screaming and running to catch her as she fell to the ground.

He remembered shaking as he tried to give CPR with Nightwing.

He remembered hearing Connor saying there was no heartbeat.

He remembered clutching her body and sobbing hard as Connor and M'gann tore him away screaming.

DCpool tried to stay strong for the younger recruits and for his fellow senior team mates, especially for Wally. Training hard, barely sleeping, beating himself up for not being faster, not being enough...

DCpool didn't mean to walk in on the secret meeting. He was just trying to get to the location of his emergency ice cream pint when he saw everyone there.

When he saw Kaldur and a very much alive Artemis.

DC is DEMANDING answers in a shaky voice.

To say that he was livid was an understatement. DC is torn and wants to tell the others to stop mourning because his so called friends decided that faking one's death was the right move.

It does come down to a compromise.

If anyone got severely injured then DC was aloud to snitch.

Finally! It's time for DC to meet the Terrans!!

Since there is a good chance that the kids have read of DCpool through comics, it's a big surprise to see this hero in their world.

DC is making jokes and showing off his stunts.

DCpool only knew it was a matter of time before he met Henny and James.

Of course he is going to know a bit more about them than what they let on. He's DCpool! he is going to know this stuff!

James thinks he is going to have a blast with DC, but goes into shock seeing how Henny grabs his attention first. He thought that meta to meta connection would happen.

Henrietta is just as surprised as James, but isn't complaining to much. DCpool's teasing is light hearted and subtle self esteem boosters.

DCpool knows what he is doing.

And he knows WHY he is doing it.
