Disclaimer: I do not own 'Young Justice'
'Super Problematic'
by Song Six
After a course of two years, it was no surprise new recruits would join Young Justice. It was actually more shocking it had taken so long for more members to join. However, their mentors had begun to realize three of them would be approaching the age of adulthood; therefore, it was time to start filling in the slots.
The team waited in the central room for their mentors to come. Kid Flash visibly vibrated in his spot getting antsy. Robin laughed at his friend trying to calm him down.
"Kid Spaz, you need to relax!"
"Are you kidding me? It's about time someone new came in! I hope she's hot!" he chattered quickly. Robin's eyebrow twitched annoyed at the older boy. Could he cool it on the hormones just once?
"We don't even know if it's a girl yet," Robin huffed showing his irritation, but Kid Flash failed to notice.
Miss Martian fidgeted with her hair worried about presenting herself well as Aqualad gave a comforting hand on the shoulder.
"I'm sure they will like you. You are a very sweet person," the alien smiled at him grateful for him. Artemis had her arms crossed patiently waiting, and Superboy simply did not care.
"I don't see what's the big deal." Superboy commented.
"Recognized. Batman. 02." Robin's head shot up, and he immediately gave off a delighted glow. Kid Flash stopped vibrating and had a sort of goofy smile. He would never admit he noticed, but whenever Robin acted like it was Christmas just at the presence of Batman and get all wide eyed, excited, and lit up like a firework, he did.
Superboy glanced over at the two and scoffed. It's been about a couple years since the team officially formed, and Superman still could not comprehend how he came to be.
"Recognized. Superman. 01." Speak of the devil
The two mentors stopped at the entrance of the portal. The team bent their heads in odd directions trying to see past them when they had a realized a young girl was trailing behind them. Even Superboy turned his head betraying his curiosity.
Batman spoke to the girl with his back to the team careful to make sure certain little geniuses couldn't read his lips. Robin narrowed his eyes at this. Superman openly spoke to her, and he even went as far as giving her a hug. Superboy felt his face freeze and his throat dry to this scene.
As the three of them approached the others, that's when they all got a view of a pair of sky blue eyes clear as day. Her uniform consisted of red knee boots, a blue long sleeve mid-drift, a blue mini skirt, all rimmed with gold, and of course the red cape. She had blonde hair that cascaded down her shoulders and back. Her tanned skin appeared blemish and scar free.
What was most noticeable about her appearance was the big ole red 'S' in the infamous shield across her chest. Kid Flash was in awe almost drooling. Artemis was unimpressed. Miss Martian felt a bit self conscience. Aqualad was glad to have a new teammate overall. Superboy…was not happy. An ill feeling entered the pit of his stomach. Robin noticed.
"Eh, I don't know about you Supes, but I'm pretty underwhelmed. A new member is cool and all, but I think you're still way cooler," he whispered. Feeling a little more confidence again, Superboy couldn't help but smirk back at the grinning boy while Kid Flash glared wanting in on the exchange. Just because another Super was coming in didn't mean the team thought he was any less 'cool', or more of important.
He tried to keep this in mind as Superman walked up with his hand on the small of her back.
"This, is Kara, otherwise known as Supergirl," Superman introduced with an all too happy expression, "She will be a new member of this team and you will work cooperatively."
The man beamed like the girl was his pride and joy. Once more, the sickly feeling returned. The girl immediately locked eyes with him and flew over. Great, she could fly already. He was just getting the hang of that ability quite recently.
As she approached him the others studied her with the same thought in mind, she was beautiful, "You're…Superboy…am I correct?"
He didn't know why but he already felt on defense. Crossing his arms he muttered , "…Yeah. What of it?"
"I'm your cousin."
Somewhere in his mind already told him she must have been related to him somehow, but actually hearing it still came as a shock. His forehead was still marred with wrinkles as he scowled sending a look over to the man of steel, whom avoided his gaze. Feeling small and insulted he said nothing and stomped away. Supergirl gasped in surprise and heat crept from her neck to her face feeling rejected.
"I think it's time we take our leave," Superman voiced coldly without giving Batman a chance to say anything as he flew out.
"Recognized. Superman. 01."
Batman gave a quick and gentle squeeze to Robin's shoulder as everyone else was distracted before giving their leader a knowing look. Aqualad nodded his head knowing now it was all up to him. He then walked out probably to go after the kryptonian to give him a piece of his mind.
"Recognized. Batman. 02."
"Conner!" Miss Martian was just about to go after him, worry across her face, but Aqualad grabbed her arm and stopped her. She looked at him questioningly, but he merely shook his head and she understood. She then turned to look at the girl of steel and flew over scratching the back of her head smiling nervously.
She frowned inwardly disappointed at Superboy's actions. The poor girl was fiddling with her fingers looking down probably feeling very alone. She knew exactly how that felt when she first joined.
"I'm sorry about that, he's not very good with meeting new people, but he's great really. His Earth name by the way is Conner," the blonde continued to stare at her feet, breaking her Martian heart,"Hi! My name is M'gann M'orzz, but you may call me by my Earth name: Megan."
Miss Martian stuck out a green hand, and Supergirl hesitantly took it, but gave a firm shake. The tips of her mouth begun to curve upward, causing the Martian to smile more sincerely. Miss Martian suddenly decided to make it her own personal mission to make the girl feel more welcomed than the boys did at her and Artemis' first arrival - Not that they were major jerks or anything, they were just very VERY awkward and slightly quick to judgments.
"I am Kaldur'ahm, the leader of this team. My friends call me Kaldur," the girl took hold of his hand as well studying it very carefully fascinated by the webbing. She must have not met an underwater dweller before.
"Artemis," the archer greeted walking up from behind placing a hand on Supergirl's shoulder and the other on her hip.
She smiled shyly at them, but she was beginning to feel way less alienated than five minutes ago. For a second there she almost thought that once again another team of superheroes would reject her just like all of her high schools. It seemed wherever she went she just didn't seem to meet expectations both in actions and socially.
Each of them had unique appearances. Miss Martian had green alien skin, red hair, and brown eyes. She could fly like her which made her very excited! Kaldur'ahm was quite handsome, had dark skin, crystal blue eyes, and apparently webbed. That would explain his lack of shoes! Artemis had the longest hair she has yet to see, and a quiver full of arrows. Her eyes seem to give off something oriental. Her cousin…he…he looked just like him.
"Now I know how the harpy and Beautiful feels," Kid Flash whispered to himself, referring to their fawning over Superboy; however, his young friend heard. His large ears burned red feeling kind of sort of really…disconcerted. Super uber heavy on the dis.
A boy clad in tight yellow and red spandex ran up to her. She assumed him to be Speedy, the sidekick to the incredible Flash. Red unrurly hair, a spray of freckles, bright green eyes, and a very friendly appearance.
"Hey Supalicious, the name's Wally West, otherwise known as the Kid Flash," or Kid Flash. That was a more appropriate name she guessed. He leered at her with a flirtatious grin. He was pretty attractive, plus she was flattered and all but than…
"More like Kid Idiot."
"DUDE!"
She looked over the speedster's shoulder and saw the infamous sidekick of Batman walk up. The first sidekick ever. And damn was he…
"Chill Wally! Not like I told her about your bloody noses when you vibrate through walls…whoops. Sorry man," Gorgeous.
A toned, slim body along with the black and red uniform; A head of shiney black hair, and a face with a sharp chin and nose; Huge ears, but adorable; he had skin that was of course filled with multiple scars, but it was a milky light color; best of all he had a dazzling white smile that made your heart skip a beat and a dreamy light voice.
Robin cackled his creepy laugh before swinging an arm over his best friend's shoulders. He was still shorter about two or three inches, but at least he was getting there.
"Do you have to do that in front of every girl I meet?" Kid Flash groaned, the boy was his bestest buddy in the whole world. But it was almost as if he made it his duty to humiliate him in front of the ladies. There was that time meeting Batgirl, then there was Miss Martian, and of course who could forget the Wonder Woman catastrophe.
Robin rolled his eyes. It was just like when they met Miss Martian for the first time, "Uh, we're all meeting her too y'know?"
Kid flash eye rolled in return. He really did not understand what was Robin's problem. He always seem to get in the way of his flow. The kid must be so attention needy he didn't want him to be stolen away by a girl. Yeah! That must be it, Robin was just really attention needy, probably due to Batman always being so-
"You're cute!" the two boys looked at the blunt girl with surprised faces. Kid Flash started to chuckle. The pretty blonde was actually taking notice of him despite Robin's attempts to…why was she flying over to Robin?
"What?" the young boy asked tilting his head in confusion. Kid Flash, gaped.
"What's your name?" Supergirl asked grinning with a boldness completely one eighty from the shy demeanor she had on before.
Wally's mood noticeably shifted into something much darker and downright cranky, "He's not allowed to give out his real name. Batman's rules," he answered for his friend crossing his arms in a huff. Supergirl completely ignored this attitude.
Miss Martian and Aqualad both looked on awkwardly while Artemis struggled to not crack up at Kid Flash's reaction. She was also pretty amused at Robin's lack of thereof ability to realize what it means for a girl to approach him this way. Shouldn't the boy be in high school by now?
"So you must be Robin I presume?" her light blue eyes were half lidded, and her pink lips were a darker shade. Kid Flash didn't know why, but he just felt really tense and really peeved.
"Y-yeah. Boy Wonder and all," Robin answered slightly confused and a little more concerned for why Kid Flash suddenly looked sour.
Maybe he was mad he took away the hot blonde from his friend for a bit. He could have her attention back if he wanted. Not like he wanted his best friend to be mad at him for embarrassing him. He just got really disconcerted, super uber heavy on the dis, whenever Kid Flash pushed him aside for girls. He couldn't help being a bit of a spoiler to his game plans.
"Boy Wonder Indeed," Supergirl pursed her lips and flew closer winking at Robin. Aqualad groaned knowing this was going to be trouble he would have to handle in the future. Miss Martian blushed at the girl's sudden daring attitude. Kid Flash was getting more irritated fidgeting in his spot. Artemis started to outright snigger.
"Come on Boy Wonder, we were going to play videogames in my room, remember?" Kid Flash bit out seething
"Alright sur-" the speedster grabbed Robin by the arm about to pull him away when Miss Martian took a hold his.
"Wait guys! We have to give her a tour of the cave! C'mon, it'll be loads of fun!" Her eyes were pleading. He never wanted to do anything to make the girl unhappy, but the new super chick was getting on his nerves and he had no clue why. All he knew was he just wanted to go and now.
"Beautiful, the first tour you gave us on your own was really…awesome, so awesome I think you alone will be enough," Kid Flash spat out in a rush giving a fake smile. Supergirl frowned at him feeling the dislike radiating off him, which she found strange. Wasn't this guy trying to hit on her seconds ago?
"Sorry Megs, but I'd rather go do something else," Artemis swiftly said picking at her nails
Aqualad decided to offer since he was the leader, "I will assist you Megan."
"Yay! Come Kara! Me and Kaldur will show you the place! It's really cozy and has a lot of utilities," she excitedly spoke, but that enthusiasm slowly died out into confusion as Supergirl still kept her focus on Robin, "maybe we could…find you a…temp room to…have…here?"
Supergirl nodded, but she still didn't break away her stare on the boy, "I'll see you later?"
"Yeah of course, We all always eat together," Robin responded in a all too 'asterous' matter for Kid Flash's taste. The boy was oblivious to the girl's attraction! Maybe that was why he was pissed. She wanted his best friend instead of him. Yeah! There we go!
"I'll be looking forward to it," Robin stepped back as he noticed the blonde scooted closer. At least she smelt nice…
"Er, I think we're having spaghetti and meatballs so I guess you will. I bet it'll taste pretty delicious. Emphasis on the 'de' if Conner helps Megan in the kitchen."
Kid Flash shook his head as he was quickly snapped out of his bad mood by his friend's vocabulary, "Really Robs, we're already starting with the mutilation of the dictionary so early in the morning?"
"How does that make sense?" Artemis agreed
"Well, if I knew it would taste gross than I'd probably would have said I bet it'll taste pretty alicious," the other teens just looked at him dumbfounded.
"I don't understand," Supergirl stated quirking an eyebrow
"None of us ever do," Artemis assured
Robin shook his head and groaned. These guys really needed to catch up like seriously. How could they not get it? It was so simple, "Like if attach is the opposite of detach or ascend to descend then alicious must be the opposite of delicious…wait, or maybe it's inlicious because independent is the opposite of depen-"
Artemis clamped a hand over his mouth interrupting the boy, "Or, OR you could just talk like a normal person and say the food will be yummy."
"Why?" it was Robin's turn to be dumbfounded
Kid Flash slapped his forehead, "Wow, this is the one thing the cow and I agree on."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Aqualad looked at the scene and contemplated if it was too late for him to walk away and escape the banter that was about to happen.
Supergirl started to giggle at their antics. Mostly towards Robin. Artemis sent her a strange look without the others noticing. She seemed nice enough, but the girl was a bit…unusual.
The speedster stomped his left foot and waved his arms in the air dramatically, "Dude! You have this weird obsession over words."
"Weird obsession? You want to talk weird obsessions?" the boy challenged
"Oh! Try me Robs, what weird obsessions do I have?" Kid Flash asked jabbing his thumb at his chest
"How about that weird thing you have about feet fu-" the red head grabbed the boy and flung him over his shoulder before he could finish.
"Ok! That's enough out of you!" Kid Flash decided covering his mouth as Robin struggled and squirmed in his hold,
The midget was not happy, "BAVMAM BILL MEEFT POU!"
"What's that? I don't understand," Kid Flash wondered if he said 'Batman will beat you' or 'Batman will eat you'. Either way, neither situation sounded too appealing.
"C'mon, let's give Supergirl here the grand tour," Artemis chimed in getting the other teens' attention.
"I thought you didn't want to Artemis?" Miss Martian asked with hopes the archer would be coming.
"Suddenly walking around showing off the place sounds a lot more appealing than staying here with Bert and Ernie," Artemis took Supergirl and steered her away from the boys. Aqualad and Miss Martian follow from behind. Unbeknownst to any of them Artemis still held a strange look on her face.
Kid Flash ran off to his room, Robin in his hold.
Author's Note: I'm just going to apologize now if there's alot of run-on sentences or choppy sentences because I usually never have a beta check my work because usually I'm confident I mostly have well done grammar; however, this time I felt like I regressed to my old habits of writing trying to get this out in a rush. I will return to fix anything weird or wrong or beef it up, but I hope this will suffice for something to read since I have not posted anything in a CENTURY!
Now I wrote this in response to a prompt on the 'Anon YJ meme' for someone who wanted a story about Kara (Supergirl) joining Young Justice and getting a huge crush on Dick (Robin) and Wally (kid Flash) getting super jealous. Somehow it turned into both a SuperboyxRobin friendhsip and RobinxKid Flash romance but ah well! I can't find the original post anymore anyways (but I will to post this eventually). Originally it was going to be a oneshot, but than it got complicated because no way Supergirl could join without there being more conflict with Superboy. I've been really wanting to write this for awhile because of Kara's huge obsessive crush on Dick Grayson. I mean come on! You all saw that infamous scene where she stole a kiss from him in front of his team and STARFIRE! Man was she pissed! So good! Despite the huge age difference of Grayson being twenty something and Supergirl being seventeen. I'm sorry if she sounds too Mary-Sue in here, but you gotta go read her wikipedia. They basically made her perfect. It's super lame. They even gave her an evil super hot double. Gah. But I'll find a way to down size her appeal.
I hope this is enough for now please REVIEW and let me know what you think so far and if I messed anything up. Please, it should only take a few minutes!
