Young Justice Appreciation Month

[for young justice appreciation month day TWO - i know its so late! but also, to be fair, i really did not intend to write a seven thousand word au. it’s not my favorite and i might take it down a couple months to revise it, but anyway, here it is]

“What do you want, Crock?” he mutters. Her smile grows at how his eyes are indeed fixated on what’s inside the trophy case. For the first time in sixteen months, a headline about West the Best, home town hero, the Kid Flash, the best athlete to ever walk Gotham Academy’s hallowed halls isnt leering down at her. Artemis grins. “Oh, nothing, just came to gloat.” [an au]

Day 4: “what could possibly go wrong?”

Wally’s the one to say it to Dick. Next thing he knows Wally’s been gunned down. Bullets hitting his chest and redness splattering across the walls as Wally stumbled back, then fell. Dick doesn’t have time to react to Wally being shot before they start firing at him.

Dick rolls out of the way not glancing back at Wally as he tucks himself behind the walls that separate him from his shooters.

He doesn’t expect to hear the mumbling he does. Ekam eht llaw reappasid. His covers gone as soon as the words are finished.

Dick dives to the ground before crawling away from enemy fire. He’s reaching for his grappling hook when he hears the shifting in the air.

He’d forgotten about M’gann.

He feels the two bullets hit him in the back.

The PA system announces the victory for the enemy.

“THE GIRL’S WIN!”

Day 3: Age Reversal

-Dick’s the first one to get a sidekick. No one is really shocked by it, the dude had been considering adopting a kid after he and Barbara found out they couldn’t have kids. Nightwing (Dick) was out one night on partrol with Batwoman (barbara) when they stumbled across a small boy crying over his dead parents. 2 months later Dick brings 9 year old Bruce Wayne to the Watchtower with Barbara. Bruce doesn’t act all that happy around the team but everyonce in a while when Dick is teasing the little boy he’d crack a smile.

-Wally’s the next one. Some idiotic kid managed to replicate the lighting strike that gave him his powers. The most hallarious thing is the kid goes to the same school as his ‘aunt’. Wally was more her uncle then she was his aunt. The kid, Barry Allen, picked up the superhero thing pretty quick. When he introduces the kid to Bruce the two get in a fight. After that Wally and Dick secretly agree to never let the kids be on the watchtower on the sametime after that.

-M’gann’s 3rd. She’d come back from an excertion to Mars to visit her siblings. On her way back she heard clattering coming from the back of her ship. It turned out that one of her nephews had snuck on board, managing to density shift, an amazing capabilty for someone of such a young age in martian years.

-Artemis and Roy both pick up the same sidekick, rotating the young Oliver Queen between the two of them so that he gets more practice. Plus, both of them need date nices with their spouses, the altering schedule allows them to do this. Though they sometimes disagree on bow techniques and get in fights. Oliver’s the one who has to continue to brake them up saying that he’d be making his own tweaks to the techniques and they’re both wrong. This results in Oliver being forced to do watch duty and no patrols for a month. He never says they’re wrong again. -Conner is forced to take a new kryptonian under his wing by Kara.He’s reluctant and closed off from the young Clark Kent but eventually the two open up and get to know each other.

-Kaldar becomes mentor to the young king of Atlantis. In order to train the teen to one day take the throne Kaldar not only trains him in the way of royalty and ruling but also fighting for one day the young teen will have to defend the 7 seas.

@youngjusticeam day 2: sports AU (A rough Pitch AU) summary: Artemis Crock is making history as the first woman to play in Major League Baseball. In the span of a season, she comes to realize that playing in the big leagues isn’t half as hard as making her own place in the Gotham Knights clubhouse. [pt. 1 of ?] (1500+ under the cut)

Everyone has set their eyes, ears, hopes and dreams on hometown heroine, Artemis Crock, as she’s been called up to start for the Gotham Knights in their season opener against the Coast City Sharks. 

The Knights’ usual starting pitcher, Roy “Speedy” Harper, is still on the disabled list after that infamous fight and though they wish him well, the Knights management doesn’t seem to be in any rush to get him back on the field.

Crock’s been in the public eye for years, but never like this. She’s changing the game. The whole world is going to be watching history in the making when she takes the mound Tuesday night.

Let’s see what she can do.

Coach: Kaldur

Chasers: Wally (could have been Seeker, but prefers a role that lets him zoom around the pitch more), Artemis (excellent aim), Zatanna (fond of using not-quite-legal spells on her opponents)

Beater: Conner (STRONG but not very good at flying), M’gann (good at flying and stronger than she looks)

Keeper: Raquel (because force fields)

Dick jumped from roof to roof in Bludhaven. It was nice to be out of Gotham and back in his own city. Gotham was nice and all, but Bludhaven was his new home, his new start, his new everything. Pausing at the top of a church, he hook a hand around a metal pole at the top and leaned back to take a long view of the city. Lights were on and off, cars honked, people yelled at each other, you couldn’t see the stars, but it’s still home.

It had been almost two years since Wally died, only 6 months since the mystery Red Hood appeared in Gotham, 5 months since they figure out the Red Hood was Jason Todd. That. That had been a shock to them all, Dick wasn’t sure who was hurt the most about Jason being alive, him not telling them his alive, him trying to kill them, and now Jason missing once more. Tim was being guarded 24 hours a day, with trackers in all his clothes, and having to swallow one every few days. Him being kidnapped from the newly remade Cave had all of them on edge.

Day 2: Sports AU

Dick the Gymnast trying to get to the Olympics

Wally the track star w sweet tooth

Conner the boxer

M’gann the pentathlon champion

Artemis the archer that always competes against Roy

Roy always argues with the Archery Coach Oliver Queen who was nicknamed “Green Arrow during his Olympics time.

Kalder the Star Swimmer.

Zatanna the Ultimate Equestrian Rider.

They’re all a part of this prestigious school run by previous Olympians. The teachers are all nicknamed, but as a group, the students call them “The Justice League.” Because they’ve all crashed the Olympics and brought justice to the number of medals they wanted to bring back.

Dick trains under his adoptive father the famous Bruce Wayne. Dick’s talent with acrobatics was what originally caught the billionaire’s eye. Dick always says that Bruce is actually really nice but no one believes him because at the school the man always seems cold and cut off. Everyone calls him Batman due to a legend about Bruce staring down a bat and causing it to die.

Dick’s nicknamed Robin after once trying to do the same thing with a Robin.

Wally’s Uncle Barry is what inspired him to be a track star, running the 100m and 200m, and sometimes the 500m. He’s better at the shorter races. His nicknamed Kid Flash, taking after his uncle.

M’gann the obsessive baker of the group. She can always be found in the dorm’s kitchen baking cookies when she’s not training. Much like Wally she was inspired by her estranged uncle to compete. Her parents weren’t big fans of the idea, not having the time or money to support her training, most of the money was already being split between her and all her siblings. She started competing behind their backs, using the allowances she’d saved up over the years to fund herself. She eventually met her uncle accidentally at a competition. Her uncle took interest in her and helped her to continue competing.

Artemis came from a family of almost Olympians. Everyone in her family competed in sports but they didn’t work on just raw talent, they used drug enhancers to compete. It ruined the family’s life. First her parents then her sister. Her father forced her to compete in sports trying to correct his mistakes and finally get an Olympic medal. She refused to cheat her way to victory though and left to train on her own. She was eventually picked up by Oliver Queen and brought to the school.

Kalder was recruited for the school after competing at the national level at a striking young age. His best friends Garth and Tula competed alongside him and were offered a place at the school but turned it down unlike Kalder.

Zatanna’s the newer member of the group, joining the group after her father started bringing her to the school to use the ring for training. Though she doesn’t live on campus like the others she’s still considered a valuable part of the group.

Conner ‘trains’ under the legendary Clark Kent, aka Superman, the man who never lost a fight. Conner always gets the cold shoulder from his mentor he had no clue why, though it suddenly stops after his first major fight. After that Clark becomes a father figure to Conner, whose parents were never around when he was growing up. He later learned the reason why Clark was cold towards him was due to the fact his father was Lex Luthor, the man who almost ruined Clark’s Olympic career.
