To Catch a Predator Young Justice Style.

Chapter 1 Assignment

Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Portal, Superboy, Artemis, Miss Martian, and Zatanna walked towards Batman, who was waiting for them in the mission room.

"Team, mission briefing." Batman turned to the computer. A picture popped up. It was a Caucasian man, about 30, with black, square glasses. He had blue eyes and black hair.

"This is Aaron Haverage. He's a famed kidnapper. The League has been hunting him down for weeks. We finally have a clue to where he might be." A picture of a restaurant popped up. "This is Family Central. A family-friendly restaurant. You can see why he would be at a places like this."

"So why are telling us this?" Kaldur asked.

"It's simple. None of the League is young enough." The Team got the message.

"So who's the bait?" Kaldur asked. Five "Not it!" s were heard, leaving Zatanna and M'gann left out. M'gann was a little too happy.

"Wow! I've never been bait before!" The Team shot her "HUH?" looks.

She stopped. "Wait. Is that good or bad?"

Batman spoke up. "One thing: you can not use your powers. This is strictly civilian investigation."

The Team nodded.

"So what's the plan?" Robin asked.

"That's up to Kaldur. Oh, and for this mission, call each other by your secret identities."

"Batman. Are you sure?" Robin asked. Batman pulled his cowl down, revealing Bruce Wayne.

"Yes Dick."

Everyone but Kid Flash turned to Robin and stared in shock. Robin pulled off his domino mask, revealing Dick Grayson. Artemis thought for a second and remembered, 'We'll laugh about this someday!' It made sense now.

Kaldur said, "Okay. This is the plan. Zatanna and Megan will get a booth, and we'll get a booth across from them. When Haverage walks in, we will make sure he notices the girls. When he makes his move, we make ours."

All nodded.

Happy Harbor 7:00 pm EST

Zatanna and Megan were sitting at booth, looking at what to order. The others sat across from them. All of a sudden, table 2 was on alert as Haverage walked up to the girls. He spoke.

"Hi! My name's Aaron. Who are you girls?"

Megan immediately forgot who this man is, and got excited.

"Hi! I'm Megan! And this is Zatanna! Would you like to sit with us?"

Zatanna frowned at Megan.

M'gann! Focus!

Oh. Right. Sorry!

The man hadn't noticed their mental conversation, and said to Megan.

"You're excitable. I like you." Wally got up, thinking, I'll save you Megalicious!

Dick made sure Kid Fool tripped over himself.

"Woah!" Wally hit the floor face first. "Um," He looked at the man they were supposed to be trapping. "I need to go to the… BATHROOM! Um, yeah. I gotta go."

Wally got up and tried to compose himself. He walked to the bathroom, to go with the lie.

Zatanna kept staring at the man, her eyes appearing to be on the menu. The man pulled her menu from her. Dick gulped, his eyes full of rage under the sunglasses.

"You're quiet. I like you too." Haverage said. "So. You girls here by yourselves?"

"What do you think?" Zatanna said, clearly annoyed. Aaron's face went from a smile into a slight frown. The waitress, Marie, came to take their orders.

"I'll go first!" M'gann said. " I'll have the Happy Harbor Burger and Fries, with a Vanilla Milkshake."

Wally had come back by then. He looked at Artemis with a grin. She smacked him. Sam asked, "Really, Wally?"

Zatanna simply said "Same."

"Anything for you sir?"

"I'll have the steak. Well done. Side of steak fries. A Coke to drink please." Aaron handed over Megan's menu, and Zatanna handed over hers. Dick walked over when the waitress left. Sitting smugly, he noticed Aaron getting a disgusted look on his face. Zatanna said, "Who are you?" so cutely, she and Dick appeared to be on the same train of thought.

"Get out of here kid!" Aaron swatted at Dick. The Boy Wonder stuck his tongue out at the man.

"So who are you?" He asked Zatanna, winking at her.

"My name's Zatanna."

"Hmm. Zatanna. Sounds very long and formal. Like perfect for intros. Perfect for a name said when in trouble. But not a name you'd call a friend. How about Zee?"

"Mm, Okay! But what's your name?"

"Richard. But you can call me Dick."

All eyes at table 2 fell on Wally. Wally looked at them.

"What?"

Robin pulled Zatanna into a hug. "Love at first sight." He smirked. He and Zee clearly saw Aaron's annoyance. It made Dick's smirk bigger.

Mount Justice 8:00 pm EST

Superman walked up to Batman.

"Do you think it will work?" He said.

Batman thought. He replied, "Honestly, Clark? I don't know. The Team has proven itself in the past. But, now is different. If they fail."

Clark realized how bad it would be for them to fail, especially with Zatanna at risk.

"I promised her dad I would keep her safe. I now leave that promise in the Team's hands. They can't fail. Not now."

A/N: Hello. I'm trying my hand at something like this. This was difficult and fun to write at the same time. Especially Wally's bits. He so predictable. Anyways, this happens during season one. Until next time, Read and Review!
