Y.J.C.

Chapter 1: Wyvern

-Past; 7 Years Ago; Metropolis; May 2- A dark shadow arises from a dark alley and looked around. It looked young and scared. It wore a cloak around its small body as it slowly walked down the sidewalk.

"Are you lost, young one?" a woman's voice called to the figure. The figure stopped as it turned to a woman wearing a blue blazer over a black vest and white shirt with gray tights underneath.

"…" the figure didn't respond as it walked backwards away from her.

"I won't hurt you… I promise. I'll take you somewhere safe," she told the figure. The figure stopped and removed his cloak hood from his head. His face was semi covered with red scales and his eyes were green.

"What happened to you?" she asked him as she knelt in front of the boy.

"…" the boy didn't respond.

"Ok… Let's try this. My name is Black Canary," she told him, "What about you?"

"I… I don't have one," he told her, "I have nothing… No mom… No dad… They're gone."

"Poor thing… Are you hungry?" Black Canary asked the boy. He nods as his stomach rumbled.

"Hmm… How about we get you something to eat?" she told him as she held out her hand. The boy looked at her hand and slowly reached out for it. He stopped when he looked up at Black Canary. Something was coming towards them at high speeds.

"Look out!" he called as he points to the sky. She looked up and gasped. A small plane was nose-diving towards them. She turned to the boy and grabbed him. She raced to an alley and dove into the alley. The plane crashed and engulfed into flames. Black Canary stood up and lets the boy go.

"Stay here… I'll be right back," she told him as she raced out of the alleyway and towards the plane. She lets out a hyper screech and doused the flames on the plane. She then raced towards the plane and pulled open a door on the left side. She pulled an unconscious and bloody man out of the plane and dragged him off to the side.

"Ugh…"

"Don't move too much, ok? Your plane crashed over there," Black Canary told him.

"You… You're Black… Canary… Wow… Big fan… Ugh! My body… hurts so much," the pilot groaned.

"Calm down, sir… I'll get you someplace safe," Black Canary told him. She then looked back at the boy and motioned for him to follow her. She picked up the pilot and led them to a hospital nearby.

-Later- The boy sat next to the woman and looked up at her. She gave him a hot dog to eat and he quickly took the hot dog and ate it in 10 seconds.

"Wow… You must've been really hungry. I thought of a temporary name for you… How about… Brandon?"

"Brandon? Umm… I like it," he said as he looked up at the woman.

"My name is Diane… And, I'll raise you from now on," Black Canary told him as she pets Brad on the head, "Understand?"

"Okay," Brandon told her as he nods his head.

-Present; 7 Years Later; July 4; Jump City- Black Canary and a young male about 16 was chasing a middle aged female that was dressed in a harlequin costume.

"Ya can't catch me, pigeon!" the woman smirked as she looked back at her. She cartwheeled over a car and tossed out several small bombs with smiley faces on them right at Black Canary. The male leaped at Black Canary and pulled her out of the way of the bombs. 15 foot red dragon wings shot out of the male's back and he flew up as the bombs detonated and green smoke hovered around the street below.

"God damn it, we don't have time for this crap!" the male snarled as he flew down to a safe area and sets Black Canary down, "We're ending this now! Today is the day!"

"Oh, right… Almost forgot about that. We'd better wrap this up, then," Diane said as she looked at the male, "Well, what are we waiting for? Come on!" She and the male raced after the woman and they caught up to her.

"Caught you, you clown! Now, you better come along quietly," the male told her as he glared at her.

"Daww… Did I make the lizard mad?" she taunted him.

"You back off, Harley… He's my prodigy," Black Canary told her.

"Look, if you're done making the king laugh… We have someplace to be. So, make with the surrendering," the male scoffed as he folds his arms across his chest.

"Ooh… Someone has an attitude," a younger female called as a girl with light blue and amber brown hair tied in a long braid that went down her back walked up to the woman's left side, "And, that someone is cute… Ooh, dibs!"

"Hallie, he is the enemy," Harley told him.

"Boo! He's soo cute, though! Ooh, I wanna cuddle with him all day and night!" Hallie squealed as she hugged herself. She wore a checkered red and black blazer over a red blouse, a black skirt with red lines that ran up and down her skirt with red and black tights underneath as well as red and black shoes. Hallie looked to be about 15 years of age and also had a left red eye and a right green eye. The male blushed as he looked away.

"Ooh! He's blushing! He thinks I'm cute, too!" Hallie giggled as she swayed her hips side to side and points at him while she also blushed, "Hey, Auntie? Can I have him?"

"No… He is Black Canary's prodigy," Harley taunted.

"So? I never really liked being evil…" Hallie pouted as she kicked a pebble across the street.

"What was that?" Harley asked seriously.

"N-nothing!" Hallie panicked as she held her hands up.

"Now!" Black Canary called as she unleashed a hyper screech and knocked Harley back into a bus. Harley slid down the bus and held her head as she looked down at the ground.

"Auntie!" Hallie gasped.

"Nothing personal… Today's important," the male said as he lands in front of Hallie, "By the way… Name's Brandon Masters." He grabbed her wrists and threw her towards Harley.

"Ouchies…" Hallie whined as imaginary birds flew around her head as swirls appeared in her eyes.

"Done… Now, let's get going," Brandon told Black Canary.

"Do you know that girl from anywhere, Brandon?" Black Canary asked him as he stood over Hallie.

"My memory of my childhood before I met you is kinda hazy… So, I'm not sure if I do," Brandon told her, "I'll figure this crap out later… Come on. We need to get to D.C. like right now."

"I know, kid… Come on," Black Canary told Brandon.

"Ohh… Bye, cutie. I'll miss you," Hallie pouted as Brandon carried Black Canary away, "Let's talk later, k?!" Brandon looked back at Hallie and sighed.

-Hall Of Justice; Later That Day- Brandon and Black Canary lands in front of a large hall and saw several well known heroes waiting for them. Then, 2 figures sped up and stopped behind them.

"Aww, man! I told you we were gonna be last!" the younger male said as he folds his arms.

"Calm down, kid… Do you know how far a distance we had to cover?" the older male said.

"So, everyone's here," the man in black said.

"Whoa… Batman and Robin in the flesh!" Brandon gasped as he looked at the fabled Dynamic Duo.

"Black Canary, who is that?" Batman asked Black Canary.

"My prodigy," Black Canary said as she looked at Batman, "Brandon Masters, aka Wyvern."

"Wyvern?" Robin asked, "Really?"

"What's wrong with my name?" Brandon asked curiously.

"It sounds weird when you think about it," the male wearing a tight yellow and red costume said as he rolled his eyes.

"Oh, stop with that! My name is another way of saying Dragon!" Brandon told them, "I am freaking part dragon, for Christ's sake!"

"Ok, stop… We'll be here all day if we stick around here," another male said as he glared at Brandon.

"Sorry…" Brandon muttered as he shook his head. He and Black Canary followed the group as they walked towards the large hall.

"This is gonna be so cool!"

"Calm down, Kid Flash… We have a lot to cover," Flash told him.

"So… Let me get this straight… We're gonna be part of the Justice League, right?" Brandon told Black Canary.

"Well, yes… But, not exactly," Black Canary said softly. Speedy looked back at Black Canary and glared at her.

"Okay… Have no idea why he's so angry," Brandon thought as he shook his head.

"Listen… We'll talk more inside. Let's get a move on," Batman said.

"I'll admit… I'm a little overwhelmed," Kid Flash said.

"You're overwhelmed, Freeze was underwhelmed… Why isn't anyone just… Whelmed?" Robin asked seriously as he shook his head.

"Whelmed? Really, now?" Brandon chuckled.

"Yeah… Not over or under. Just in the middle," Robin said as he glanced over at Brandon. The group arrived at the hall and the massive doors opened to reveal Martian Manhunter, the man of Mars… And Red Tornado, the robot superhero that can control wind.

"Robin, Speedy, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Wyvern… Welcome," Martian Manhunter told them as he led them inside the hall, "You have unlimited access to the gym; the food-stocked gallery; and, of course… Our library." They stopped in a room with a large door that read, "Justice League members only.", a couple of bookshelves, and a large computer on the far side of the hall.

"That's it?" Speedy asked as he glared at the Justice League members.

"Who crapped on your waffles, pal?" Brandon asked Speedy.

"What is your problem?" Black Canary asked.

"We deserve an actual look inside, you guys! This is a backstage pass, from the looks of it!" Speedy told the students of the Justice League.

"This is a first step, kid… You've been granted access not many others get," Aquaman told Speedy.

"Oh, really?" Speedy argued as he points to some tourists taking photos on another side of a glass panel high above them, "Who cares which side of the glass we're on?!"

"Roy, you just have to be patient," Green Arrow told Speedy calmly.

"What I need is respect!" Speedy argued as he glared at Green Arrow.

"Dude, you have serious issues," Brandon told Speedy as he stood up and glanced at him.

"So, you're playing their game?! Today is supposed to be THE day! The day we become the members of the League!" Speedy growled as he glared at the shook his head.

"Well, sure… But, I thought step 1 was a tour of HQ? Right?" Kid Flash asked.

"Except the Hall Of Justice isn't their HQ!" Speedy retorted as he looked at the others.

"Wait, this isn't their HQ?" Brandon asked seriously.

"Wait, you're not serious… They never told you?!" Speedy asked in shock, "This place is just a false front for tourists and also serves as a pit stop for Zeta Beam teleporter tubes to the actual HQ! An orbiting space station called the Watchtower!"

"…" Brandon was beyond shocked at Speedy's explanation. He glanced at Black Canary and shook his head.

"Oliver! Why did you tell him that?!" Black Canary scolded Green Arrow.

"Hey, I thought we could make an exception," Green Arrow said with a small smirk. Batman narrowed his eyes at Green Arrow.

"Or, maybe not. Sorry?"

"Diane… Why? You told me you would never keep secrets from me," Brandon told her as he backed away.

"Brandon… I wanted to tell you…" Black Canary said. Brandon shook his head and raced off.

"Brandon, wait!" Black Canary called.

"Let him go..." Batman sighed as he shook his head and placed a hand on Black Canary's shoulder.

"And, what? I have never lied to that boy… I need to make things right," she told Batman as she pulled away from him. She glanced at Speedy and rushed out after Brandon.
