The SECRET Training: Young Justice Seasons 1 & 2
***So this is how this short series will work. I have Season 1 on DVD. So I can write inserts for episodes so show Shadowcat's progression in the series. I am working on getting Season 2 eps so I can continue this. This is part of my SECRET Saga and is the second fic in the series. These inserts can be short or long and this fic will have random updates. I will even write 5 year gap episodes to tie in the first and second seasons. So if you like it or if you have a question, post it in a review and I will do my best to answer it. I may even pause the AU seasons just to answer a question. So sit back, get those Christmas presents ready and let's go! ***
Episode 2: Fireworks
July 8th
7:16 EST
After Aqualad, Kid Flash and Robin helped Miss Martian and Superboy settle into the Cave at Mount Justice, Wally and Dick made a quick exit and used the Zeta Tubes to get to Illinois. Kid ran Robin over to Minnesota. It was just a bit past 7:00, which meant she was home.
Their little secret that they were keeping from everyone, even Batman.
A quick knock on the door was the only warning they gave as a key was put in the lock and Dick and Wally walked in. "Peter?" said Dick, calling out to the Kyle butler.
Peter poked his head out from the kitchen. "Master Wally. Master Dick. She's in the training room. Dinner will be ready soon."
So Wally and Dick made their way to the training room, which was located in the back of the condo. The teen heroes opened the door to Stephanie kicking the punching back clear off the hook and it landed several feet away, broken. "Hi Dick! Hi Wally!" she said, a little breathless.
"Wow! Not bad!" said Wally.
Stephanie grinned. She flexed her arms to show off her muscles. There were small but they were there. "So, what happened to Roy? He came over huffing and puffing, threatening to blow down something. He was raging about the League lying to you all."
"Ah, yeah. They kinda did," Dick admitted.
"And you're not mad!?" Stephanie asked. "If it was me, I'd storm out with Roy too."
"Well, we'll tell you over dinner," Wally told her. "It's been a long day and I am HUNGRY!"
"You are always hungry! And why are you two so happy?" she asked the pair.
"We got a team," Dick answered. "A covert team. Spy stuff."
"Really!? With Kaldur!?" Stephanie asked, getting excited.
"Yeah, sis. And we got a few new members too."
"COOL Spy stuff, I can do! So, can I join!?" she asked.
"Uh…yeah but Batman's in charge of the team," Dick told her.
"Oh." Stephanie grew quiet quick.
"Miss Kyle, dinner!" Peter called.
"Set two more plates!" she called back. "Tell me what happened over dinner," she told her brothers.
"So…you guys went on your own mission? And Batman gave in to give you all your own place?! I'm so whelmed!" Stephanie bit into a rib.
"That's my word!" Dick cried, teasing her. "I'm the only one allowed to do that!"
"You're my brother, so I can do it too," she teased right back.
"I'm your brother too!" cried Wally in between bites of his steak.
"When I can eat as much as you, then we'll talk."
"HEY!"
"Do you three need anything else?" Peter asked as he cleaned the table of the empty plates.
"Join us, Peter! You're not just a butler, y'know!" Wally told the middle-aged man.
He tentatively sat in an empty chair.
Wally took another slab of ribs. "This food is the greatest!"
"Thank you, Master Wally."
"So, after we get settled into the Cave, you want a tour?" Dick asked her.
"Sure!" Stephanie then thought of something. "Wait-Mount Justice?"
"Yeah," Wally answered. "How do you know?"
"I've been reading Mom's diary. She knows about the Cave because Batman took her there a few times," Stephanie explained.
"Why would he-oooohhh." Wally got it.
"Ew. I am traumatized!" cried Dick.
Stephanie giggled. "IN fact, according to the dates, I was conceived there."
Dick put his hands over his ears. "NO more! PLEASE!"
Wally laughed at his best friend.
That was when her cell rang. She answered it. "Hey…um, no thanks. I have class in the morning…I do know it's Saturday! I am busy!" Stephanie hung up. "They are trying to ambush me, I know it."
"Who?" asked Wally.
"Stacy Mc Krill and her click," Stephanie answered, munching on her rib bone.
"Are they that popular club you told me about?" Dick asked her.
"Yeah. I don't want their friendship." Her voice held a tone that signaled the end of the topic. "So…I'm surprised that Batman hasn't caught on yet."
"I've been covering our tracks," Dick replied, smirking.
"Normally, I'd say, let's tell him about me. But after considering that he didn't tell you where their real base is…Never mind." She looked at Wally and Dick pointedly.
The teen boys nodded.
