Security system has been compromised. Shutting down now.
Martian Manhunter blinked, and then simply sat in utter shock for five seconds, staring at nothing. But that was impossible! These systems had been designed by Batman!
Robin, sitting at his laptop, idly pressed a few keys.
By the time the Martian Manhunter thought to reach for his communicator, all of the communication systems were out, too.

"Queen Mera?" Kaldur said, respectfully standing outside her doorway.
Mera turned halfway, startled at his sudden appearance. "Oh. Kaldur, come in! What do you need?
"Queen Mera, I was wondering if you would help me in a plan to get King Arthur to quit bothering you for some time." Kaldur said.
Mera looked up, interested. She was currently heavily pregnant, and Arthur was, of course, rather worried about her and took every opportunity to bug her. A break from his constant worry sounded... Nice. Peaceful.
"What do you suggest?" She said carefully, hiding her interest.
Kaldur smiled fractionally. "Well, you see..."

Sophie Christianson went about her grocery shopping idly, lost in thought. She had a party later today, but that wasn't for a few hours yet, and as of right now, she had little else to do. In fact, she'd rather get home a bit later, right now, because her mother was in a snit and it was always best to avoid her, when she was like that.
Sophie was just picking up a gallon of milk when the most beautiful song began playing through the speakers. She looked up, entranced, and started wandering vaguely towards the exit. Suddenly, standing threateningly at the door of the town hall with a large mob seemed like the best idea...

"You have to surrender to us now!"
The President blinked at the young boy currently standing in his office. Kid Flash hadn't been there before, had he? Maybe his secretary was right. He was getting tired.
"Mr. President?" Kid Flash waved a hand rapidly in front of his face. The President blinked. No, still there. Definitely needed more sleep. Perhaps the paperwork could wait till tomorrow?
"Mr. President!" Kid Flash pouted, looking oddly adorable for a hallucination. "I said, you have to surrender now! Aren't you even gonna ask why?"
The President smiled tolerantly. Apparently his hallucination wasn't going to go away. Well, what harm was there in playing along, then. "I'm sure you have a very good reason." He said. "Get on with it, if it's so important to you. I'm going to go home and take a nap."
With that, he left the room, leaving several flabbergasted secretaries and guards and one very annoyed speedster. "It's not even fun if he doesn't even argue!" Kid Flash pouted, indignant, dodging a tazer with careless ease. "And you can't do that, minion, because I'm the President now, he even said so, and besides I'm a hero, and besides we're taking over the world! So there." He flopped into the large, comfy chair behind the desk with all the pouty indignation he could muster.
The guards traded looks, nonplussed, and then one darted out into the corridor.
"Code 428. I repeat, we have a Code 428."

By the time Batman actually heard about the plan, Robin and Kid Flash were cackling madly from the top of the Oval Office while Kaldur stood by awkwardly.
He had to admit, it was quite good for a first attempt.
"Robin. Kid Flash." He said, menacingly. "Get down from there."
"But we haven't even gotten any candy yet!" Kid Flash said, petulantly. "Besides, you can't make us." He added. "Or else we'll tell everyone who you are!"
One of the reporters made as if to push her microphone into his face, interested in this tidbit about their new world leaders.
"No. You won't. Or else I'll ground you both until you're fifty." Batman said, calmly.
"You're not even my mentor!" Kid Flash protested.
"Yeah, but I am," Flash said, quickly coming to a stop beside Batman, "And I agree entirely. Stop it, kids."
"Maybe we should – " Kaldur began, but Robin preempted him.
"Oh, fine. If you're gonna make a fuss about it..."
The three conspirators quickly went into a huddle.
Five minutes later, various nukes had been returned to their original launch codes, Atlantis was under King Arthur's control once again, and the armies threatening any town large enough to have radios had subsided back into very confused citizens.
Five weeks later, absolutely everyone at school refused to believe that Wally West had conquered the world over the summer.
Five months later, the entire world seemed to have forgotten its brief unified rule.
The next summer, Wally West turned to Dick Grayson after losing yet another game of Mario Kart. "I'm bored." He stated simply. "We should take over the galaxy."
So a couple of things. I haven't watched Young Justice in forever. I stalled out about halfway through the first season. As such, this is probably pretty inaccurate in many ways. I was just going through my fics, and it seemed like it deserved an end. Also, all my scene breaks disappeared when I first posted this, so I just fixed that but it may have been hard to read at first. ...And then that failed, too. Sorry, people! Hopefully it's fixed now.
