A World Without the Justice League

Summary: Takes place during season 1. One day, the team sleeps and wakes up in a dark place in the presence of a giant glowing lady. Apparently, they all died from undetectable poison. They have two options, go to heaven or be put in a world without the Justice League.

I do not Young Justice.

Enjoy!

"Where am I?" Kaldur'ahm aka Aqualad said as he stood in absolute darkness.

"WHY ISN'T MY TECH WORKING!?" Suddenly a voice yelled and he recognized it instantly as the voice of Robin.

"ROBIN?" He said, yelling and moving towards the voice.

He soon found the teen in his normal clothes.

"Aqualad?" Richard "Dick" Grayson aka Robin said, before smiling and saying. "Am I glad to see you. For some reason, my tech isn't responding"

"That makes four of us," Said, a female voice and they both looked to find M'gann M'orzz akaMiss Martian who was being followed by Artemis Crook.

Miss Martian was walking!

"For some reason, I can't fly," Miss Martian said, "Boy, am I glad to see both you"

And then all four of them heard.

"HELLO!?" Suddenly a voice said, that they all recognized as Wallie West aka Kid Flash. "Where is the light switch? It's so dark here!"

"That's Wallie!" Miss Martian said, as they all ran in his voice's direction and sure enough they found the teen who was shocked to see them.

"Woah. You guys are here as well?" Kid Flash said, surprised and wearing his regular clothes. "I've been looking for a light switch for ages!" was this a dream because the last thing he remembered was going to bed in his own house and feeling unusually tired.

Just then they heard the sound of a moody teenager known as Super Boy.

"I KEEP WALKING BUT THERE IS NO END TO THIS DARKNESS! WHY CAN'T I PUNCH MY WAY OUT!?" Yelled the teen.

"And that would be Superboy," Robin said, and they all ran in his direction and sure enough they found the teen who didn't look pleased to be trapped in darkness.

However, the moment they reunited with Superboy, they heard.

"I'm impressed. You all managed to find each other"

Immediately, they were all on high alert and activated their ability or weaponry.

And that's when they all noticed they were completely defenceless.

Artemis did not have her bow or arrows.

Aqualad couldn't summon the water he always kept on him.

Kid flash could not feel his power flow through his leg's.

All of Robins gadgets that he never took off with or without his costume, were like dummies.

Superboy could not feel any supernatural strength flow through his body.

They were defenceless.

The voice sighed and said. "Why is it, that when a Superhero first meets me, they all have the sudden urge to attack me? My voice is designed to make them feel relaxed but for some reason, it doesn't work."

"WHO ARE YOU!?" Superboy said. "SHOW YOURSELF!"

"Teenagers these days. Your father Superman was a lot calmer when he first met me."

The piece of information made all their eyes widened.

"But very well then. I will show myself to you all" said the voice.

And then all eyes widened as what could only be called a giant woman with glowing long blond hair in a warrior dress code, sat on a throne in front of them, appeared before them.

"I go by the name of X9. I am surprised to meet you all so soon" Said, the woman. "I am the person that all superhero's meet when they die. Nice to meet you all"

Her statement was met with understandable shock.

"Die?" Kid Flash said, snorting. "Look lady. Can you just give us back our superpower's and we'll forget that this whole thing ever happened!"

"Just because I don't have my arrow's, doesn't mean I can't kick your butt!" Artemis said, for once they were on the same page.

"She's telling the truth" Robin suddenly said, making them all turn to him in shock to see that he had pressed. "I have no pulse and I'm not breathing. Either, I'm really dead or this is a really strange dream."

"What!?" Superboy said.

Aqualad did his own test as well and sure enough, after some time, he couldn't feel a pulse.

"I-I can't feel my pulse, either" Aqualad said, freaking the other three out.

If Aqualad and Robin can't feel their pulse, then...

Miss Martian immediately tried to feel hers, but the look on her face said it all.

Superboy went to check his own reluctantly and yet from his frowning brown they could tell, he couldn't feel a thing either.

"Y-Your all dead!" Kid Flash said, shocked, he didn't want to admit that he could be dead too.

However, Artemis suddenly jumped him and pinned him down to take his pulse, she knows he was as stubborn as a maul.

"You have no pulse. You're dead too" Artemis said once she let him have his shoulder back.

"Why didn't that hurt even though you twisted it?" He said.

"It's because dead people don't feel pain," Aqualad said, before turning the large woman in front of them and saying. "At least tell us how we died."

"Poison," X9 said.

"What?" Robin said, "That's impossible. We do body scan's daily. The system would have picked up if we were poisoned, heck, Aqualad has immunity to Jellyfish poison. We couldn't have all been done in with Poison."

"Normally yes but this Poison seep's out of the desert of Bialya," X9 said, much to everybody shock. "It's harmless if you stay in the Desert for a few days at a time but you were all exposed to it for 6 months. It's had more than enough time to become deadly not even an immunity to Jellyfish can help you, when your exposed it that long and to make matters worse, Aqualad was without water for 6 months so his immune system was done for it to easily sneak in. So, the poison took you all in your sleep. And here you all are."

Of course, none of them liked hearing how they all died.

Because of one, really bad mission, they were all poisoned.

They all thought they would die in combat one day, not of poison in their sleep.

"You have got to be kidding me! I'm not even alive for a year and poison gets me!?" Superboy said,

Meanwhile, Kid flash was screaming and crying.

He had so many thinking's he didn't get to do!

Like date Miss Martain!

Everybody rolled their eyes at his overreacting, they couldn't take their death seriously because of him.

Meanwhile Miss Martian was wondering why she wasn't in her true form in death, what she didn't know what that this was the image she viewed herself in, down inside.

"So, now what?" Aqualad said, "We met you for a reason. Are you going to send us back?"

His statement had given them all suddenly hope.

"Yes, send me back," Artemis said, "My mother would be all alone if I die."

They all had reasons why they shouldn't die here, however...

"The reason why I sent Superman back when he died was out of necessity," X9 said, shocking them. "The world needs a Superman. He is a symbol of what all people strive to be. The reason why I sent Batman back when he came to me, is because the world needs a Batman. He shows the world that even a regular person can be a superhero without any powers. He gave hope to a city that was run on the blood of its citizens and was a haven for criminals. What do you all stand for? Why should I send you back to be none other than replacements for when the True Hero's retire?"

Her words struck a chord in all of them.

"If you all die here, one day, there will be people to take your place and you will be forgotten. However, the true heroes are the ones who earned the title of irreplaceable" X9 said. "The name 'Robin', can be given to anyone without powers. Aqualad. How many Atlantean can take your place? Aquaman is special because he is the bridge between a lost city and the world. Kid Flash. There are approximately 17 people who have super speed in the world, how are you going to stand out from the rest? Miss Martian. There is a whole planet full of people just like you. Superboy, you were created in a test tube, a human being could easily make more of you. In fact, there is actually another you out there with all of Superman's powers. What makes you special?"

Her statement stunned them all, especially Superboy.

Was there really another version of himself out there but with all of Superman's powers?

Wouldn't that make him unnecessary?

Wouldn't that make him a complete failure?

"However," She said, making them all look at her. "Even though each of you can be easily be replaced. I've watched you try to stand on your own despite the Justice Leagues wish's and I found it entertaining. So I will send you back because I like you guys."

"D-Do you really mean it?" Kid Flash said, although what she said hurt his feeling's, he just wasn't ready to go to heaven yet.

"However," Robin said.

"Yes, However." She said she knows he would get it. "Going back would mean putting you all in an environment where you will always be overshadowed by the Justice league until you managed to prove your worth. To grow to be true heroes, I will place you on another planet without a Justice league."

"What?" Miss Martian said and she wasn't the only one shocked and surprised.

"The Earth is overflowed with Superhero's that are all fighting to be different from the rest. If something happened to the Earth, the Justice League and other Heroes could take care of it easily. Earth is extremely lucky to have so many True Hero's" X9 said, "That's why I'll be placing you on another planet, somewhere where there aren't that many superheroes on it."

"Wait a minute," Artemis said. "I can't go to another planet. I need to be on Earth"

"If you insist on reviving are you willing to pay the heavy price for it?" X9 said, surprising all of them. "When a body knows it dead, there's backlash when a soul is forced back into it. For instance, you might revive and become crazy. You might lose an important ability like a superpower or the ability to speak. What about the price is losing a part of your history? Everybody loses something when they revive, nothing comes free. Which of you is ready to go and pay the price? Please, step forward and I'll revive you."

Silence.

They looked at each other.

Nobody wanted to step forward because they were afraid.

What about if they revive and what is taken, means that they couldn't be superhero's any more or there was a huge chunk of them missing?

Could they really take that risk?

The blow would be especially heavy on Superboy considering all he went through.

Then she said. "How about you Kid Flash? Your price is your ability to stop. Once he starts using your Superspeed, you won't be able to stop running and will only get faster and faster until the day you die"

The price shocked Kid Flash.

Sure, it was fun having SuperSpeed but to not be able to stop until he died?

He didn't want to die like that!

Even he knows that once he reached a certain speed, he would pass through objects and his body wouldn't be granted immortality. Sooner or later he would starve to death.

His revival would only be delaying his death for a few more days, all he could promise to never super speed again.

Which he didn't want to do.

"So... does that mean, we're all going to be reborn?" Robin said, if reviving was that terrible then he didn't want to know what his price was.

"So, I'm going to stay dead?" Artemis said before she realizing staying dead was a release from all the pain she had to go through because of her parents.

"Each of you will be reborn into a loving family with Super power's. Even the ones who don't will receive one." X9 suddenly said, stunning them all.

Both Robin and Artemis looked shocked and so did everybody else.

Superboy was quiet, no doubt he was remembering the relationship he wished he had with Superman.

If Superman wasn't his dad...

There honestly wouldn't be any love lost there.

"Does that mean, I'll be an Alien?" Kid Flash said, finally seeing something in his despair. "That will be so cool! I've always wondered what it would be like to call people 'Human' or 'Humanoid'. And can you imagine all of that cool alien technology? I going to be in science heaven! I'll go to a place to place where Human beings had never gone before!"

"You know that's an unhealthy stereotype when we have an alien on our team," Artemis said, as Kid Flash suddenly noticed Miss Martian.

"Oh, sorry," Kid Flash said.

"It's okay," she said. "Before I came to Earth, I had unhealthy stereotypes as well from T.V"

"See. It's T.V fault" Kid Flash said, "And besides, I can always find a spaceship and head to Earth and visit my family"

However, X9 decided to talk at that moment and say.

"None of you will have your memories when you're reincarnated," X9 said

"What?" Miss Martian said, "What about my Uncle?"

And she wasn't the only one who did not want to forget a loved one.

"What in the past must stay in the past. Unless it's too big to ignore." X9 said, "The point of reincarnating is that you become a new person. Everybody here is not important enough to have a rebirthed where you keep your memories. One day, I'll make sure you meet each other and can choose to form a team. You might even meet your past lives friends and family again. It may produce an echo but you won't remember them at all."

"And what if we don't let you mess with our minds?" Superboy said.

"Then you go to Heaven and just wait for all the True superheroes to meet you in a few decades." X9 said, "Ask yourself this, how bad do you want to be heroes? If you don't want it bad enough then quit being Hero's now. This is my only offer. Not many Hero's gets to choose so think wisely because you can't take your choice back."

Her words made them all looked at each other.

Which of them was ready to go to Heaven especially when they promised themselves that they would no longer just be sidekicks, only under a year ago?

#Morning#

"Where is everybody? Why aren't they here for morning practice? It's Saturday!" Black Canary said.

Usually Aqualad and Robin would be dragging the rest for practice right now, however no sign of them.

"Robin. Isn't picking up when I signal him.l" Red Tornado said.

"Don't tell me, they all slept in?" Black Canary said, not impressed. "I'll go dump some cold water on their heads and I don't care how long it will take me to do it!"

And then Red Tornado suddenly received an alert from Batman which he put up.

"Yes?" Red Tornado said.

However, instead of Bruce, it was Alfred who appeared, much to both of their surprise.

"Sorry to bother you, but is any of the team present?" He said the man seemed a bit shaken up.

"Everybody in the base is asleep" Tornado said, showing the man Superboy and Miss Martian fast asleep.

"Please check that they are really asleep," Alfred said, much to both of their confusion. "Master Dick isn't waking up and he has no pulse. We put him through all the top quality medical technology money can buy and found unknown poison in his system."

What the man said, shocked them both.

Who could have successfully poisoned a boy who could afford everything and had the smarts to check himself every day?

And if he was poisoned, what about the others?

What about if the reason why nobody was showing up, was because they were unable to get up?

"I'll make phone calls," Red Tornado said.

"I'll go wake up everybody in the base" Black Canary said, they both had a sinking feeling that something wasn't right.

Unfortunately, several hours later, that sinking feeling turned into mourning.

Every single one of the team was found exactly like Robin, Poisoned.

They were gone.

Their sidekicks and whatever Superboy was to Superman, were gone just like that.

It was a day of mourning for the Justice League.

However, on that same day, life was born.

On a faraway planet, stood a cavillation that housed people who looked exactly like humans, in 6 houses was a small tree that had not even a single bud on it.

All six of them suddenly developed a bud that pulsed with life.

And scene!

Next chapter follows the life of the Reincarnated Superboy to the day, fate decides to kick in and he encounters people who make him have a very strong sense of familiarity and he isn't the only one feeling the bazar connection between them. Review/fav and follow!
