Hi people of the Young Justice Fandom, Dragonfairy16 here and ready to give YJ a try. I have wanted to do a YJ fic for a while now but I couldn't decide what to write about. Well I finally got some inspiration from the YJ comics I bought (TV show versions of course) and so here it is.

Disclaimer: Young Justice is not mine and all belongs to the DC Universe and the show was created by Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti

Chapter 1: Not How They Remember

A room swallowed in darkness lit up blue as seven screens turned on at once. A door leading to the room slid opened and a shadow of a man walked in and took his place in front of the TV's.

"You rang?" he asked slyly a hint of a smile upon his lips.

"Time Catcher. How nice of you to join us," one of the members of the Light announced.

"I aim to please…so what can I so humbly do for you today? As you know my time is precious to me," the man said now coming into the light revealing himself to have black hair and a black goatee. He wore a light blue tuxedo with a matching top hat and carried a black cane with a large sapphire on top.

"Yes of course, we will get right to it then. We want you to get rid of a member of the Justice League for us."

"Just one?" the man asked.

"Yes, someone who most people would deem unimportant but with their existences altered will allow us to further our work." As the voice said this a small part of the ground opened up and a stand appeared from the floor. Time Catcher walked over to it and lifted a picture from the stand and he looked at it with a frown.

"This person is merely a child and it would be a waste of my time. Just get one of your lackeys to deal with your pest problem," he said turning to leave.

"You will be rewarded with over a million American dollars' worth of sapphires."

Time Catcher turned around slowly.

"That would last even you a life time would it not," the voice said.

"What do you want me to do exactly?"

"Nothing so drastic, just make sure that they are to never become a protégé of the Justice League…to any of them understood?"

"Perfectly, I just need to know the place and time of the event you want to change."

"All the information will be sent to you. I hope this won't be too much of a problem."

"Of course not," the man said before the lights turned off leaving him in darkness once again.

"This is all you're faulty," both Artemis and Wally shouted at the same time. They glared at each other with pointed fingers and each holding half of the ripped bag of chips. Next to them stood a silent Superboy covered in the snack food as M'gann tried to wipe them off quickly.

"Why do you always have to ruin everything," Wally shouted.

"If you just gave me the chips to begin with then we wouldn't have to clean this mess up," Artemis shouted.

"This is my bag of chips. I need it all to keep up my metabolism."

"I give you something else to keep up your metabolism," Artemis threatened pulling her arm back but was caught by Aqualad before she could throw the punch.

"You both need to stop now," he said in a low voice. The room was silent except for the sound of Wolf eating the fallen snack on the floor.

"Why can't the two of you ever get along?" Superboy said finally taking a chip out of his hair.

"Because she doesn't belong on this team," Wally retorted.

"I make a better addition to this team then you. At least I have my skills down instead of slamming into walls all the time."

Before Wally could retort the sound of the Zeta tube made itself known.

'Recognize Batman 02, Robin B01.' A few seconds later Batman's voice was heard over the speaker announcing the team to come to the mission room.

"This is so not over," Wally said turning away from Artemis. A few minutes late the group stood in a line joined by Robin in front of Batman and Red Tornado.

"Your mission is a simple one," Batman said swiping his hand over the air so a visual of a warehouse facility showed up on the screen. "People have been going missing at the piers in New York City. I would have dismissed it for the cops if it wasn't for the high energy levels coming from the warehouses."

Batman pulled up another screen that showed the same picture only with green and red splotches showing of the energy signal that was crawling off the charts.

"So you need us to find out what it is and stop it?" Robin asked happily.

"No. You are not to make contact with whoever is doing this. This is a recon mission only. Observe what it is and who is doing it," Batman said back getting frowns and downward glances from the team.

"Understood," Aqualad said for the team and made his way out of the room. After everyone suited up Robin caught up with Wally.

"So what's with the long face?" they youngest teen asked.

"What do you think?" Kid Flash groaned. "She won't stop bothering me on anything. Sometimes I just want to…to…"

"Kiss her," Robin said.

"Kiss her…wait…what…eww no," the red head gaged and pulled robin into a head lock and ruffled his hair causing the two brothers at arms to laugh.

A few hours later the team made their way to the shipping yard in the cover of darkness. A hole formed on the bottom of the Bio-Ship and Robin and Artemis slid down their ropes and slipped through the shadows.

'A link has been set,' M'gann said.

'Can you hear me,' Aqualad said through their mind link.

'Loud and clear,' Robin said.

'Me too,' Artemis stated.

'Good, Can you see anyone,' Aqualad asked as the two moved through the shadows.

'I'm not seeing anyone,' Robin stated.

'I'm picking up an energy signature,' Kid Flash said with his goggles over his eyes. 'It's in the warehouse at the far right.'

'Ok we are going to take the Bio-ship down there. Robin and Artemis, you will take the front and go in quiet. We will survey from the air and make sure no one finds you,' Aqualad announced. The team agreed and M'gann flew the ship quietly and the team waited for the two non-powered heroes results.

Once inside Artemis held her bow taut as she and Robin looked around in the darkness.

'You hear that?' he asked the archer.

'Hear what?'

The two listen closely and the sound of a machine hummed softly. Hiding behind an old crate Robin looked into the center of the room was a giant machine sat.

'What is that?' Artemis said.

'One way to find out,' Robin said running towards it before she could stop him. She ran after him keeping herself on guard. Robin dropped to the ground in front of the machine and pulled the USB cord from his glove and plugged it into the machine. The hologram appeared on his arm and he began to type.

'Anything?' Superboy asked from the ship, boredom evident in his voice.

'I'm not sure,' Robin said. "I've never seen anything like this before," Robin finally said out loud something suddenly came up on the screen. His masked eyes widen and he stopped typing.

"What," Artemis whispered. "What you find?"

"The date and place that's been set on the machine…it's..."

"It's what."

"It's when I…"

"Ah, ah, ah boy blunder let's not spoil the surprise," A man's voice said echoing through the warehouse. Artemis tried to pinpoint the location but couldn't.

"We've been compromised," Artemis shouted.

'Get out of there,' Aqualad shouted through their mind link.

'I'm bringing the Bio-ship around,' M'gann said quickly. Robin disconnected from the machine threw some smoke bombs and he an Artemis made a run for the exit. Artemis didn't get very far before hearing Robin grunt and hit the ground. She turned around as the smoked cleared and saw Robin on the ground holding his leg. Blood seeped through his pants as what looked like a small arrow pierced his calf with a red flashing light on the end.

Artemis ran back for him.

'Robin's hurt,' she shouted in her mind to the others.

"Go," Robin shouted to her.

"Not without you bird boy," she said grabbing his arm to lift him up. A sound on the roof made the two look up and Superboy came crashing through the ceiling.

"Oh more unwanted guests," the man said now coming out of the shadows and stood next to his machine. Aqualad jumped down next to the crater that Superboy had created followed by M'gann who flew down holding her hand out so Kid Flash could float down next to her. He zipped over to Artemis and Robin grabbing the teens other arm.

"Oh man, are you ok?" he asked Robin moving his hand to the device jammed into the younger teen's leg.

"Don't touch it," Robin whispered to him in pain.

"We'll get you out of here hold on."

"Who are you?" Aqualad asked bringing out his water Water-Bearers and creating two water swords.

"They call me Time Catcher...At least in this time line they do. I really just can't keep track of these things."

"What are you taking about," Superboy said in frustration storming closer to the man.

"Superboy wait," M'gann called out as she noticed the man placing his hand on a lever on the machine. The clone stopped.

"It doesn't really matter what you do at this point but say goodbye."

"Goodbye?" Wally said angrily still trying to support Robin's weight.

"Say goodbye to your precious Robin because in a second you won't remember him," and with a laugh he pulled down the lever and the machine glowed blue.

"Robin," M'gann shouted.

"Kid Flash, get him out of here," Aqualad commanded. Before they could blink Kid Flash had the wounded teen in his arms bridal style. Robin yelped at the sudden movement and gripped his friend's neck tightly.

"Wait no," Robin tried to struggle but Wally was already out the door and past the gate to the warehouse entrance. Seeing Robin out of the way Superboy growled and charged the man but was flung back as an energy shield appeared and the man laughed inside of it.

M'gann stopped him from crashing into the wall with her telekinesis and stood him up right. Aqualad then charged himself and with electricity pulsing he slide his hands through the shield struggling to pull it a part. Superboy ran next to him and helped pulled creating a hole. Time Changer's eyes widen, this was not supposed to happen. Taking his cane he pulled it in half revealing a sword and walked forward.

"Artemis," Aqualad yelled and the blond haired archer ran forward and jumped through the whole with her bow ready to fire. In midair she released the bow and shot the man in the chest. He flew backwards hitting the same lever that he pulled before making it go down further. Suddenly the shield expanded engulfing almost the entire warehouse and all four team members. Aqualad collapsed to the ground and everyone looked around. It was all silent except for the sounds of hundreds of clocks ticking and chimes going off.

"What's happening," M'gann asked flying over to her boyfriend. Time Chaser looked up and frowned.

"No you're not supposed to be here." He yelled. Before the group could do anything though the room outside the domed shield slowly began to melt away.

"Look," Artemis pointed it out to the team as everything outside the dome disappeared. She turned just in time for the machine to emit a huge light that exploded outwards causing everyone to black out.

Kid Flash on the other hand was still running. He heard rumbling as he crossed the George Washington Bridge but was too scared to turn around to see what was causing it. Robin looked over Kid Flashes shoulder and gasped.

"KF," was all Robin was able to say as everything felt like it was slowing down. Kid Flash finally turned around and he and Robin stared as a large flash of light quickly enveloped everything it swallowed the two boy's whole.

Artemis was the first to wake up. Her eyes widen and she pulled up her bow and arrow quickly holding it where Time Catcher stood previously. He was nowhere to be seen and neither was the machine and the blue shield was gone. She stood up with a groan and made her way over to M'gann. With a few shakes the Martian woke up with a gasp.

"What…what happened?" the green girl asked.

"I don't know I just woke up."

The girls woke up the other two teammates and helped them up. M'gann suddenly remembered Robin and Kid Flash.

'Wally, Robin can you hear me?' M'gann said through there link. When no one answered she looked at the group worriedly.

"Maybe they are out of your range." Aqualad reassured her. With a soft smile he placed his finger on the com in his ear.

"Robin, Kid Flash come in," the older teen said but was also met with silence. He then tried a different tactic. "Batman this is Aqualad we are in need of assistance," he said but got nothing but static.

"What is going on?" Artemis growled.

"I am not sure but we should make our way back to the Cave and figure out what we should do from there," Aqualad said. The group filed into the Bio-ship quietly and made their way over the city that never sleeps.

Looking down nothing looked out of the ordinary. People hustled and bustled through the night and cars honked at each other. It was like whatever they saw never happened and they all hoped the same thing; that whatever they did in the fight stopped Time Catchers plans and that whatever he was going to do with Robin didn't happen.

M'gann saw the mountain up ahead and opened the link. "Red Tornado this is M'gann. Please open the doors for landing."

She waited a few seconds and then frowned. "Red Tornado please open the hatch…I don't understand, he isn't responding."

"Set the Bio-ship by the south entrance. We will entire by foot," Aqualad said worry etched across his face and M'gann landed the ship. Aqualad and Artemis armed themselves as they walked to the hatch. M'gann pressed the code into the alarm system but nothing happen. Looking to her boyfriend Conner nodded and punched the door in. Soon he was able to make a hole big enough for everyone to walk into the cave. The light was dim and the cave was quite, to quite for the teams liking.

"Red Tornado…Batman?" Artemis called out but was met with nothing but the echo of her own voice. Aqualad looked to his side and walked a different direction from the group. M'gann screamed and Artemis and Superboy turned to the red head.

"M'gann what's wrong," Superboy shouted gripping onto M'gann's shoulders.

"Sorry, I think I just walked into a spider web," M'gann said wiping herself off. Suddenly the lights turned on and Artemis, Superboy and M'gann shielded their eyes.

"I have found the light system," Aqualad said walking back to the group. When their eyes adjusted Artemis gasped at the sight before them.

"What happened?" she said walking forward. Spider webs hung from the high ceilings and clung to the walls. All the equipment and furniture had dust covered sheets thrown over them.

"I…I don't understand," M'gann said sadly. "Why is everything so…so old looking?"

Artemis walked over to one of the computer monitors and took the sheet off the large screen. She bent down and crawled under the large keyboard gripping a few wires.

"We could really use Robin's computer expertise on this," she said. After about 20 minutes the archer gave up. "This is useless. It's like this computer hasn't been used in decades…I just don't understand."

"There are a lot of things we don't understand," Aqualad said. "We need a league member but it seems that there is no one to contact."

"So where do we go?" M'gann asked sadly.

"The Hall of Justice seems like the next logical choice but first we need to sleep. We will head out in the morning," Aqualad said. No one wanted to go to sleep by themselves so they all piled into the living room and slept on the floor the same thoughts flying in their heads. Where was everyone and were they ok? What did Time Catcher want with Robin and where was he and Kid Flash? All questions that would hopefully be answered tomorrow.

The next day the group piled back into the ship and flew onwards to Washington D.C. Once again the team was met with disappointment as they looked down where the white building should be but was met with a large park. All changing into their civilian clothing they made their way into the park.

"Where is the hall?" Artemis asked almost panicking.

"It's like it was never here," Superboy said. M'gann looked around and spotted something that caught her eye. She called the rest of the group over. In the center of the park was a large statue of the original 7 standing in a circle back to back.

A woman walked past them and Aqualad turned to her.

"Excuse me ma 'me. Do you mind telling me where we could reach the Justice League," he asked.

"The Justice League?" the woman said in confusion. "The Justice League hasn't been in commission for years. You're just going to have to go to one of their cities and hope that you bump into one of them."

"Oh…thank you," he said and turned back to the team.

"This isn't making any sense," Artemis said gipping her hair. "Yesterday the Hall of Justice was here," she said pointing to the ground. "The Cave was up and running and I'm pretty sure the Justice League was around."

"That machine that Time Catcher had must have changed history somehow but what part of history that could cause this… change…I am not sure," Aqualad said.

"So what are we going to do now? How are we supposed to get help if there is no help," Superboy asked.

"We should find one of the members. Just because they aren't a league doesn't mean they can't help," M'gann said.

"Who do we ask for help? Superman and Batman are the closest but we don't know how to get to them."

"What about Flash…he's the next closest," Artemis said.

"That doesn't help; we still don't know who that is." Superboy argued.

"Yeah but we know someone who would know who he is."

"Wally…but…" M'gann started.

"History might have changed but that doesn't necessarily mean that Kid Flash isn't with Flash. We just need to look up Wally West and we got the Flash," Artemis said with a smile on her face.

"It wouldn't hurt to try," Aqualad said.

An hour later Artemis walked out of a library with a small piece of paper in her hand.

"Piece of cake. One Wally West of 13 East Street Central City," she said and they were on their way to Central City.

After hiding the Bio-ship in a deserted parking lot the team walked a few blocks to Wally's house. They stopped in front of a small apartment complex and looked at each other.

"This is not how I pictured Wally's home," M'gann said noticing the spray painted graffiti, broken glass, and sounds of police sirens. With a shrug Artemis walked up the door and knocked.

"Wally off your ass and get the door," the teens heard a man shout.

"You get it I'm busy," They heard Wally shout back. M'gann smiled and Artemis sighed in relief. It was the first thing going there since the fight but it was short lived as the door was pulled open harshly. A large man with brown disheveled hair and mustache glared at them in a dirty shirt.

"We don't want any," he said about to shut the door. Superboy held the door open and glared back at the man that would even rival Batman.

"My apologies," Aqualad started. "We are not looking to sell we are actually here for Wally."

The man looked at them skeptically. "Wally," he shouted. "Get your ass out here."

The man disappeared leaving the door opened and a few minutes later the ginger appeared in front of them. Artemis face dropped at the site of him. He had a bruise on his cheek and he was dressed in ripped pants and a white t-shirt with an open plaid shirt over it.

"Can I help you," he asked leaning on the door post.

"You…you don't remember us do you," M'gann said in near tears. Wally looked at them closer.

"Sorry do I owe you money or something. I paid Toney the last of the money last week so if that liar says otherwise," Wally said prepared to fight.

"No, no it is nothing like that," Aqualad started. "We just need to know if you…happen to know where the Flash is living."

Wally's eyes widen for a second but he recovered quickly, though it was not quickly enough for Aqualad not to notice.

"Oh…oh yeah of course," Wally stated with a smile. "He lives in a tree house at the end of a rainbow but you can't get in unless you tell the unicorn the password. The answer is hippopotamus," he cracked. Artemis growled and walked up to him pulling on his shirt.

"Listen here Kid mouth…"

"Oh Kid mouth good come back. That's almost worse than butt face," he smirked. Aqualad pulled Artemis back.

"Please Wally. I know that you know," Aqualad said.

"Why…why would you think that," Wally said backing up slowly.

"Because you told us how you found the book in your Uncles bag…the one that held the formula on how to become the Flash."

"I didn't tell you that," Wally yelled. "I don't know who you are but you need to leave. I've got nothing to do with that ass." And with that he slammed the door shut on their face.

"Now what?" Superboy asked.

"We wait. When he leaves the house we are going to have to read his mind," Aqualad said sadly as they walked down the sidewalk. M'gann stopped short.

"I can't do that. I promised everyone…I promised him I wouldn't read your minds."

"Right now that isn't the Wally you promised. If we don't get a League Member for help we might be stuck in this time change forever."

Superboy placed his hand on M'gann's shoulder and she nodded slowly. As night fell Wally opened the door to his home and looked left to right. Not seeing anyone he walked down the steps with his hands in his pockets and walked. Feeling like he was being watched he stopped short and turned around quickly only to be met with silence. Skeptically he turned back around and walked.

He walked into an ally way and waited a few seconds before a bunch of guys showed up.

"S'up," Wally said walking towards them. "You got any tonight."

"Yeah we got plenty," the other guy said pulling a bag of white powder from his pocket. Wally held his hand out but the man pulled back. "You still owe us money from last time."

"I already gave Toney the money. It's not my fault your crew is stealing money behind your back," Wally said.

"You calling one of my friends a liar West," the man said. He pulled a gun out of the back of his pants and aimed it at the teen. Wally's hands shot out to protect himself and began to back up until he was flush against the ally wall. "Guess daddy didn't beat you hard enough to knock some sense into you huh." Wally knew he should have just shut his mouth but he couldn't let them just disrespect him like that.

"It's ok after he punches me I go see your mom to feel better…if you know what I mean," he laughed darkly.

The man growled and cocked the gun and fired. Wally closed his eyes and cringed waiting for the pain but was met with nothing but air. He peaked back up and was surprise to find the big grouchy black haired teen standing between him and the gang; the bullet lay on the ground in front of him.

"What," the man said dropping the white powered bag on the ground. His friends behind him yelped as they were pulled into the air. M'gann materialized in the air and Artemis and Aqualad made their way next to Superboy causing Wally yelled at the sight of the alien and costumed teens.

"Maybe you should pick on someone your own size," Superboy smiled. M'gann dropped the other guys on the ground with a frown.

"No one hurts my friends," she said in anger. They all got up as quickly as they could and ran past her out of the ally followed by their leader with screams of fear.

"I had that under control," Wally yelled to the teens but swallowed roughly and tried to back up even further as M'gann landed in front of him next to the rest.

"Yeah you really had them shaking in their boots," Artemis laughed as she picked up the bag the man dropped. Looking at it in horror she looked at Wally with a glare.

"Cocaine…you do cocaine?" she yelled.

"Why do you care," Wally yelled back.

"Because this will kill you!" She shouted throwing the bag back on the ground.

M'gann put her hand on Artemis's shoulder trying to calm the girl down. Everyone turned their heads as the sounds of police sirens filled the air probably responding to the sound of the gun.

"You have two options," Artemis said walking closer to the teen. The other three team members fell back allowing the blond to do what she does best…deal with Wally. "You can either come with us and show us where the Flash is or we can leave you here tied up next to the cocaine and you can get thrown in jail."

"You wouldn't dare," Wally said looking behind her to the other teens. Superboy stood cracking his knuckles with a smile on his face showing Wally he was willing to rough him up a bit if he refused to help.

"Oh we would," Artemis said.

"…Fine," Wally finally said admitting defeat and allowed the heroes to take him to the Bio-ship.

So there's chapter one. After watching the episodes countless of times and reading almost all the TV show side comics I tried to really stick with the characters stories like how Wally became Kid Flash. I hope that it was ok and you will try the next chapter two.

Review kindly please xD
