It is a beautiful day in happy harbor; after beating the Reach and the Light and the Justice League were found innocent, everything went back to normal. Or has it?

Mount Justice

"WALLY! BART! WHERE ARE YOU?!" shout Artemis.

Wally and Bart enter the room with Artemis' green arrows and bow.

"What are you guys doing?" asked Blue Beetle.

"We're just messing with Artemis," said Wally.

"Don't you remember happen last time you did that Wally, it took five weeks for that bruise to heal," said Batgirl.

"Yes, but last time I didn't have Impulse," said Wally.

"It was nice knowing you two," said Conner.

"What do you mean Conner?" asked Bart.

"Cause Artemis will kill you both once she gets you," said Conner.

"Yeah now that I have you two," said Artemis as she grab her boyfriend and Bart by their shirts. "So gentleman are we going to do this the easy way or the hard way?"

"It was all Wally's idea," yelled Bart.

"Dude ratting me out," whine Wally.

"You do the same," said Robin.

"I do not!"

"Dude I've been your best friend for years and you rat me out all the time," said Nightwing.

"Ok maybe I do," said Wally, "Alright Artemis we'll give back your bow and arrows."

"You better," said Artemis as she let go of Wally and Bart.

"Come on team," said Nightwing.

The young justice team went to change into their uniforms and follow Nightwing into the meeting room. They took their seats and waited for one of their mentors to speak.

"To what do we owe this visit?" asked Nightwing.

"Are we getting a mission," ask Robin.

"No, but something is coming to earth," said Batman.

"What is it?" asked Miss Martian.

"Are you all familiar with the Hunger Games?" asked Wonder Woman.

"You mean the book; where one boy and one girl from twelve districts enter in a life and death competition and the winner is the last person standing," said Wonder Girl.

"Correct it turns out that they really is such a game," said Black Canary.

"Really?" asked Beast Boy.

"Yes, but this game is different," said the Flash.

"How?" asked Aqualad.

"Instead of picking one boy and girl from one location, they chose one person; boy or girl," said Superman.

"Also instead of districts they chose planets," said Aquaman.

"Let me guess earth has been chosen to participate in the game," said Bumblebee.

"Correct," said Martian Manhunter.

"So what's the problem?" asked Nightwing.

"The problem is that they only want the heroes of earth to participate," said Batman.

"And?" asked Nightwing looking at his mentor.

"They only want heroes between the ages 13-22," said Batman.

"So this means that the young justice team has to participate?" asked Batgirl.

"Yes," said Superman.

"What if we don't?" asked Kid Flash.

"They'll attack of planet," said Batman.

"So we have no choice," stated Robin.

"Correct," said Batman.

Everybody went quiet in the room; they were going to be force to play a game of life and death. And who knows if they'll be able to see their friends and family ever again.

"When will they come?" asked Nightwing breaking the silence.

"One week, they'll sent a ship to pick up the person; who has been chosen to represent earth in the Death Games," said Batman.

"Why do they call it the Death Games?" asked Zatanna.

"Because whoever wins the Death Games, is proclaimed to beat death itself," said Black Canary.

"So what do we do now?" asked Nightwing.

"We've decided that all of you will be training from morning to noon, then after training you can do whatever you want for when if one of you gets chosen," said Batman, "Team dismiss."

Everybody in the young justice team either went home or stay in the cave. Nightwing, Robin, and Batgirl follow Batman towards the zeta beams and went home.

Batcave

The heroes of Gotham enter their batcave, the first thing they did is remove their masks and cowls. They got out of their uniforms to become Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, and Barbara Gordon. Bruce went to the batcomputer, Barbara went home, Dick and Tim were doing some training.

Bruce would take a break from the computer to watch his two sons training.

Dick threw his fist, Tim dodge it and drop to the ground and did a spin kick. Dick fell backwards, but roll out of it. Tim charge at Dick and jump in the air with a kick ready to hit his older brother, Dick caught Tim's foot and swung Tim away from him. Tim hit the ground and started to breathe heavily, Dick walk towards Tim and lend him his hand. Tim grab Dick's hand and was help up.

"One of these days Dick, I'll win," pant Tim.

"Yeah, but not today little bro," said Dick as he ruffle Tim's hair.

"Hey Dick, are you scare?"

Dick knew what Tim was talking about and knew how serious he was about this, "A little."

"You are?" ask Tim with a little shock in his voice.

"Of course Tim, I mean one of us is about to enter a game; where we might not come back, but it's ok to be scare."

Tim then hug Dick, "Thanks Dick."

"No problem little bro," said Dick as he hug him back.

"Tim, why don't you go upstairs to the manor and get ready for dinner," said Bruce.

"Ok Bruce," said Tim as he made his way towards the manor.

Once Tim was out of sight, Bruce look at Dick. "Are you alright?"

"No Bruce, to tell you the truth I'm terrified."

"Me too."

"There's no way we can't back out of this right," ask Dick as he look at Bruce with some hope in his eyes.

"No, we've tried Dick, but we couldn't find a loophole," said Bruce.

"Hey at least you tried," said Dick touching Bruce's arm.

"Yeah, is there anything else you want to talk about before we go upstairs?"

"Well…," said Dick as he look at the ground.

"Dick?" ask Bruce resting his hand on Dick's shoulder.

"I got this feeling in my stomach and it's telling me that it might be me."

"I know how you feel, I have the same feeling but it's telling me that it's for you or Tim."

"I guess we won't know till the time comes," said Dick lowering his head towards the ground.

"Yes, in the mean time let's not worry about it that much, let's just focus on having fun with those we love and care about," said Bruce lifting Dick's head by his chin.

"Thanks dad," said Dick with a smile.

"Your welcome son," said Bruce smiling back.

With that said Bruce and Dick heads toward Wayne Manor, trying not to worry about the Death Games. But they don't know what danger lies in the Death Games.

I know short chapter, but I promise it'll get better. There are no crossovers, also I'm only using charters from season 2 of Young Justice that I know best. Don't worry Wally will stay alive in this story and Artemis and Aqualad are back on the team. I own nothing except my OCs.
