This story is a fusion between my version of the Young Justice world and the world of Generator Rex I previously created. Their will be cannon elements from both shows, but should be considered AU. To read previous YJ stories click my profile. Thank you and enjoy!

It was late and the moonlight shimmered across the Temple grounds. Most of the residents in Haven were asleep dreaming peaceful thoughts, but inside members of the Council were frocked with worry about the present dangers of the world. It seemed that old threats refused to stay down.

Mage sat in a mediation pose next to the alter praying for guidance. Inside her body, the spirit of Luna reached out; trying to connect with her people to find a solution to botheration that was plaguing not only the magic users, but the world in general. It had been almost seven months since the day Rex sacrificed himself; to prevent the failsafe in nanites from executing everyone on the planet. Although he succeeded in his mission, the dream of true symbiosis with the nanites was still out of reach. In the following months since then, unexpected complications and unforeseen dangers had put the world on edge. As it was, Haven's residences were worried that a global catastrophe unlike anything ever seen was about to occur, with one stroke of a match.

"This is not the kind of world my people envisioned when we first came to this planet. How quickly the gifts of elders can turn and change," Luna thought to Mage who had to agree. She opened her eyes and sat up worry showing in her eyes. A migraine was starting to form in her head. "What can we do? The world is getting closer and closer to the brink of destruction. The fear of the unknown is causing widespread panic. How can we avoid the lost of so many innocent lives?"

"Are you alright? You seem extremely troubled tonight. Is there anything that we can assist you in this time of uncertainty?" Tawret questioned the young avatar. The High Priestess was joined by, Bevin and Rory, who also looked concerned for the avatar of their Goddess.

"Your emotions are all over the place Mage. The fear you are sending out, is only matched by the concern tethered to it. Believe us, we share in your emotions. The world is reaching a critical moment in its evolution," Bevin remarked kindly to Mage.

"That would be an understatement Bevin. The world has not faced such a critical juncture since the days of early manna manipulation. Consort Rex saved the whole planet with his sacrifice, and was given the second chance at life, in order to see that the results of his sacrifice. Instead of being grateful and understanding, the world is in a near state of panic. The fear of another failsafe shutdown or worse, even more dangerous EVOs has humans scrambling. The symbiosis dream of the nanites has yet to fully take place. People can still go EVO by random chance or unintentional thoughts. Mindless animals and plants still walk this planet. Because of that, the future of the nanites, along with the balance created by their Nanite Nexus, is irresolute," Mage responded with a passion. Inside Luna agreed with her assessment.

"It's true that symbiosis has yet to reach the level of complete understanding between man and machine. The nanites, even after six and half years of conscious, are only children struggling to understand the world around them. They are easily confused and naïve about the real world. Even Naniqueen, though an effective leader, is immature when it comes to understanding the inner workings of biological creatures," Bevin added.

"The world of the nanites is a complex one. Our allies speak of changes to the Nanite Nexus internal structure. The team has never fully understood its nature and how it affects the reality we live in. Governments are demanding answers to satisfy a restless public. Fear of the unknown coupled with paranoia has made society impatient for answers. Answers that the public might not like," Tawret added. "Mortals have forgotten that it takes time to reveal all that is to be known. Sometimes they mysterious of the world can't be unraveled at all. The impatience of society will be its undoing."

"Not only the impatience or fear, but being mislead and taken advantage of by those who wish to control the masses. To rebuild the world in their own image without care for the damage they inflict," Rory spat angrily. His thoughts turned to the leader of the newest threat.

"You're talking about Hunter Cain and his movement. The Humans Against EVOs and Allies movement is a menace to anyone who doesn't fit a particular mold of normal. That movement is growing stronger ever since Cain got out of prison on a technicality. In past times, charismatic leaders have always been able to trick the simple minded to become sheep. Yet this is not just a handful of people who have an opinion on an issue. It's a political group, with a precise agenda, that has been popping up in countries all over the world. Cain preaches about the purity of the human race and that EVOs and nanites are mistakes that need to be eliminated."

"I've watched his recent broadcasts. He and his followers are making it difficult for High Priestess Circe and the rest of Abysus to work with the UN. The HAEA has been demonstrating against EVOs and blaming the nanites for a variety of issues plaguing society ranging from famine to issues with sexuality. The wake of chaos has made it next to impossible for, Aoife and Sloan to locate and invite magic users, to come here in fear that they will be targeted next. The internal fire inside that man will not rest until it becomes a raging forest fire consuming all who gets caught in the blaze."

"I agree with Rory. Cain is an extremely loose cannon who will attempt to undo all that we've strived for. It's not enough for him to cause trouble for Abysus and undermine the benefits of the nanites; he wants to have all EVOs locked up. Dr. Holiday told me about an experiment going on in the jungles of the chupacabra, an experiment that if successful, could sway the opinions of both governments and the public; that those who chose to stay EVO are not dangerous and that they can actually benefit our world. The next three weeks will be critical due to the circumstance of tying together the three separate issues into one bundle."

"True, the fates of the world are tied with one another. I've attempted to divine the future, but the world is still very uncertain. The bones and sand I've used all say that a great change is coming and that the future of our world could either be death or life."

"Bevin, are your sure your divinations can't be more accurate?"

"You know as well as I do, that discerning the future is always going to have its difficulties. I can't perceive exactly what will occur next, but I can promise you this. The sands say that our fates will be aided by the help of great heroes of impeccable character. Unfortunately, I don't know any of the five Ws. All I know about them is that these strange icons," the empathic woman said, showing the group her drawings hoping one would know what the symbols would mean.

Tawret was wise and old, but she had never seen such symbols before. There were twelve in all and each was very different. Some of them were letters like a giant S in a shield or a stylized A. Others were pictures of things like a lightning bolt and a green arrow. Some had double symbols like an ankh and tanto or a question mark around and arrow. Whoever these symbols were connected to, the people of Haven hoped they would be friendly.

In Providence, Circe was working late while Rex was conked out in bed. Their beautiful little girl, Eilonwy, who was now 14 months old, was sleeping in her crib not making a sound. Circe knew she should be resting for tomorrow's workload, but she was restless so instead she worked. She had a lot to do tomorrow starting with planning for the upcoming UN meeting. It would be a very important one determining the rights and legal dealings of EVOs in countries all over the globe. She really needed to get her arguments together. There were also some legal issues still to iron out with Abysus as a whole country that Van Kliess and Dr. Hansen had asked her to look over. It was her duty as the country's UN representatives and Ambassador at Large.

"Checks and balance of governmental powers, issues with creating and using our currency, and proposals for treaties and citizens rights. Ugh, when I joined the model UN back when I lived at home; I didn't think I'd be using those skills so soon. This is so much for someone so young to deal with. How am I supposed to figure this all out?" Circe wondered as she signed some paperwork about budget ideas. She rubbed her arms ignoring flair of pain. Last week she had to deal with an unpleasant confrontation between Hunter Cain's followers when she had gone to D.C. to talk with the President regarding the possibility of forming a treaty with the USA. A member of HAEA had hit her with a rock nearly breaking her arm. One of the protesters had nearly struck her daughter down. It had been nearly an all out frenzy and it taken all her powers over hypnotism and persuasion to prevent retaliation.

"We've come so far. The next meeting with the UN could make or break all the work I've put into building a better future for Rex and Eilonwy. The problem will be convincing anyone at the UN to listen after hearing all that propaganda against us." Circe looked over at her daughter. She was so precious and cute. She was far more advance then most babies her age and she was already a master basic manna skills. Tawret and Mage had given her several books and scrolls on how to handle a magical child, but it was a lot of work. Sometimes she wasn't sure she could be a good mother, but she was determined to do the best she could.

Circe walked over and pulled the blanket over her child. She then wiped the drool off of Rex's face and got him back under the covers. She would do anything to help protect them from harm. She loved them so much, but wasn't sure her powers would enough. There had to be something more she could do to keep the people she loved.

A crash caused Circe to jump and her family to stir a bit, but not wake. Thankfully, Eilonwy inherited her father's ability to sleep through almost anything. She scurried back to the desk and saw that it was one of her spell books that had fallen. It had fallen open on a page titled "Spells of Kismet and Foresight." Deeply intrigued, she started skimming the page reading the details about the ritual and spells to allow one to perceive their fate, and use the knowledge to protect someone they loved. This seemed to be an answer to her prayers. She wouldn't be getting any sleep that night as she studied the spell and prepared to perform the ritual.

Unbeknownst to her or anyone in, that particular reality's multiverse, in a completely different reality multiverse, a young samurai mage in training was visiting his inherited magical abode, The Tower of Fate, with his boyfriend to explore the rooms and secure it whilst he is away on a training trip. The place was full of surprises and you never knew what you would encounter in its bizarre twisting halls and crazy rooms.

Taji was in the garden room, tending to the flowers and trees ensuring they were healthy. Much like his ancestors he enjoyed learning the art of patience by tending to his garden. He loved this room having discovered it during his first visit. The spirit of his father told him this was one of his late wife, Ingza, favorite rooms. He could tell why, with its large fields and tree groves with the roaring waterfall nearby, it was a wonderful place.

Taji had just finished tending to some stubborn orchids when he heard the footsteps of his boyfriend behind him. His footfalls were extremely quick and the faint sounds of screaming could be heard. Sighing he dusted himself off and stood up. He saw Dick launching himself from tree to tree, trying to avoid being turned into mulch. "Flora Halta! Resuma Blossoma" Little gold anhks appeared on the roots and human eating pitcher plant. There was a flash of gold and the plants settled down. "Sorry I forgot to disable this room's defenses. I told you to stay close."

"Ugh, no wonder Wally and the others don't want to come back here for a visit! This place is crazier then Arkham when it comes to security.I thougtht you told me that the Tower regonized me as a friend not plant food for the garden. This not hool!" Dick remarked dusting off his pants and adjusting his shades. This was only his second visit to the Tower. Taji came here often to practice his magic and preserve the hidden treasures inside. The more time he spent here; the stronger the bond between the Tower and its mage grew unlocking rooms and secrets lost for decades. Still, there were rooms that were even hidden from Taji and his father's spirit. The Tower would use all its power to protect its contents from those who would missue the magical artifacts.

"As long as you remain by my side, the Tower should not view you as a threat. Once you've spent enough time here I'm sure that it will connect with you seeing that you are not a threat. That's how my father welcomed his wife to the Tower."

"Yeah, and how often has it attacked your mom? Once, twice?"

"Kaa-san was, regrettably, injured during her last visit. I have much to learn when it comes to securing my inheritance from the Lords of Chaos. Klarion did a lot of damage when he was here last. The Tower still is recovering."

"Seems stable to me. How many more rooms do you have to lock up before we can get out of here? You have to get up early tomorrow to catch your plan for your training trip," Dick remarked. The boys left the garden and entered the library. Taji ran his fingers across the molding pressing in sequence on the decorations. This would deactivate the traps for now so he could make sure the inventory was up to date. "I'm actually a little jealous you get to go on vacation. Terry and I have been begging Batman to take some time off and have fun. I really wanted to go to a waterpark and Ter has his heart set on riding a roller coaster this summer. Personally, I think that we deserve it. Both of us scored straight As on our reports cards."

"My kaa-san and I are not going on vacation. We are spending two and half weeks reconnecting with my cultural heritage and training by the ancient swodsmasters. Its strictly a coincidence that her old team, the Outsiders, is currently helping with relief efforts and we'll be meeting up with them. Well it is!"

"Sounds like vacation hero style. The team is going to miss you while your gone. I heard that Lucas and Shania had plans for fun team building exercises," Dick joked.

"Ha ha, I forgot to laugh. It wouldn't be June if you didn't try to make me crack a smile. If you trying to convince me to stay, you're going about it the wrong way." Before either of them knew it they were making out in the middle of the library. The two were passionately kissing each other about to go French style when Taji bumped into a bust knocking it over. It crashed to the floor splintering into several pieces.

"Oh no my Dad's going to kill me! No worse, is Nabu's going to string me up and never let me go!"

"Hey, it was an accident. Just explain to him it wasn't entirely your fault and what the hey!" Dick fell on his butt, as Taji found a strange gold and silver key that floated in front of his face. The sword weiling mage cautiously touched the artifact knowing the risks. Both mage and key glowed brightly as different colored magic formed an ankh shape door on the far side of the room. Ancient seals glowed threatening to come to life. Taji drew his tanto, touching the door, and screaming as he got zapped.

Dick quickly flicked two of his birdarangs breaking the connection. He rushed to Taji side who was panting. Frantically he checked his boyfriend over for injuries. "Are you okay? Do you need a doctor? Talk to me please!"

"I'm fine, just a little magical jolt. Okay a big jolt! There's something very important in that room. Something that Tower wants to be kept safe at all costs."

"Hey, I like adventure as much as the next kid, possibly even more, but maybe in this case we should avoid trouble. No reason to start our summer vacation trying to unlock a magical lock."

"No, fate revealed this door and I need to know what's inside. I can't explain it Dick, but I have a very strong hunch that we need to find out what's behind the door. Its calling to me in a way that I haven't felt since I first put on the Helmet of Fate."

"You're not serious?"

"I am very serious Dick. We need to find out what's behind the door. Where's the League?"

"Off in space dealing with some pirates and smugglers. They're not going to be back for awhile. What about your mom?"

"In the University archives without her cell. She's not expecting me back for a another hour or so. I think its time to convince the team to have another test of fate. Give them a call and ask Megan stop by my house and retrieve the Helmet from the safe in the basement."

"You left the Helmet at the house? Why didn't you bring it with you?" Dick grumbled as he started making the call. Meanwhile, Taji grabbed a few books off the shelf and started researching the symbols on the door trying to understand what the mysterious room could be.

Taji was getting ready to perform a magic ritual when the rest of his team arrived. They appeared a bit battered in their civilian wear, but overall they were relatively unharmed. Each of them was carrying their costumes in their packs. Wally was glancing around nervously as Megan kindly handed him the Helmet. "Thanks Meg."

"No problem, so you found a new room? This place is even more mysterious than we originally thought."

"Yeah, the string theory of how all the rooms are connected and keep moving is nuts."

"Do you still deny the power of magic after all this time?"

"I reserve my right to question the ability to perform parlor tricks! I still want to question our friend Zantana about her supposed magical origins."

"Okay that's enough! Really, we have all summer to train and fight with each other. No reason to get started now. So what's the deal about this room? Why are you so interested in getting in? It was hidden for a reason from you," Connor said.

"But now its been revealed and I'm sensing great power emminanting from that room. Whatever that room is; its very important and its contents should be handled with care. The reason I'm determined to get in is because of a feeling, an overwhelming need. I just sense I need to get into that room."

"We believe you Taji. What can we do to help you out? Have you tried using that key" Zairia asked examining the curio in her hands.

"The key only reveals the door. I have to crack the code and perform the right magical passage if I want to gain access. I would ask Nabu if he or Dad knew the right one, but I fear that they will tell me to walk away from this."

"Which is something you can't do can you? The compulsion is to strong. I'm beginning to feel it to the longer I stand in this room. Your certain that this is not a trap by the Tower?" Lucas asked.

"Positive. I've been trying to make sense of these symbols, but none of the books in the library match what's on the door. I've tried simple spells to reveal what their meaning is to no avail. I fear if I cast one more spell wrong the door will vanish."

"Let's take a look at the symbols. They may not have a human origin or maybe they belong to a hidden race," Shania speculated as the twelve teens started looking at the symbols on the wall and then his books. They symbols didn't appear to be in any language that any of them were familiar with. They were truly stumped until a light bulb went off over Wally's head.

"You got a mirror in this place?"

"I can conjure one, why?"

"Because I think the symbols are in reverse. Maybe if we see what their reflection is we can get into that room."

"You actually have a brain don't you?"

"Don't even start you two," Kaldur warned. The archer and speedster quieted down. Everyone held their breaths as Taji conjured a mirror shining it on the door. The symbols flipped and suddenly he knew how to get into the door. Chanting ancient charm he walked right through the door vanishing from sight. The others followed him and suddenly the group found themselves in a completely different chamber.

Connor let out a low whistle, "I don't think were in Kansas anymore." The room was a mix of brick and rows of wooden shelves that climbed to the ceiling. On each shelf, sitting on a small rounded pedestal under a bell jar, was an orb of dazzling colors that images flicked across. A plate with beautiful script labeled each orb containing what appeared to be a name, number, and designation on it. There appeared to be an ancient ringed portal in the back next to an altar.

The teens jumped, as single bell jar, floated off a single shelf planting itself in the slot. The gateway flickered and the team saw images of a young Hispanic boy, doing battle with monsters. Then an image of a girl with black and red hair talking fiercely. The images stopped and the machine powered down.

"Okay, I'm officially freaked. What the heck is this place and what is going on? What are these orbs?" Athena demanded.

"I'm not sure, but from the throbbing in the Helmet, I can hazard a guess. Nabu once let it slip that the Tower was a terminal access to other Earth's in our multiverese, maybe even others. This could be the portal room."

"It would make sense. All these orbs must be magically tuned to a different world. The host of the Helmet duty would be to guard the contents to prevent accidental crossings. What we glimpsed in that gateway was probably images from another Earth. We should leave this place and lock back up. The probability of inevertinally causing harm is to great," Kaldur advised his team. The others nodded and started to leave when they noticed Taji wasn't following them. Instead Taji was in a trance walking towards the altar. "Taji! Stop what are you doing!"

"I don't think he can hear you. Come on we have to stop him before he does something we'll regret," Terry snapped as they raced towards the altar trying to stop him. They shouted at him to stop, but his eyes were glazed over. He was casting a circle with his tanto slicing his palm causing drops of blood to spill over the orb. His gold tinged manna formed a ribbon in the air snaking through the air that entrapped his teammates

Young Justice found themselves unable to move as the ribbon went through each of them taking a bit of their life force before turning into half a knot that came to rest in front of the portal. The portal flashed and second ribbon of manna, this one silver, shot out tied the other half of the knot.

Taji started chanting in mix of languages cutting into the air with his glowing tanto. His words seem to activate the orb opening a path through the portal. Before they could protest the ribbon wrapped all twelve teens into its gentle embrace dragging all twelve teens through the portal. Once the last of them was through the portal the room shut down leaving very few clues as to what happened as the Tower became invisible once more.
