|JULY 8TH, RHODE ISLAND

|MOUNT JUSTICE

|08:04 EDT

Batman paced before the group of young heroes who had, four days ago; broke into Justice League systems, broke into the Cadmus building, exposed the corporation's seedy activities, rescued Superboy and destroyed the Cadmus building all in one night.

They now all stood in a cave, on the third level of Mount Justice. Heroes, mentors, and sidekicks alike here to officially acknowledge the new team.

Green Lantern and Hawkman could be seen flying with equipment. They were here to help finish installing the final systems to the old Mountain.

Behind Batman; Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, Black Canary, Martian ManHunter, Aquaman, and Red Tornado watched as the Dark Knight Prepared to talk to the kids.

All the younger heroes stood in a line to face Batman; Wonderboy, Superboy, Kid Flash, Robin, and Aqualad. They were ready for what he had to say.

"This cave was the original secret sanctuary for the Justice League. We're calling it into service again," Batman's voice echoed throughout the room. "Since you five have proven to be determined to fight the good fight, you'll do it on League Terms."

There was no leeway in his tone. It was absolute. Do it our way, or not at all. But despite this, the teens couldn't help but relish in this moment.

"Red Tornado has volunteered to live here and be your supervisor. Black Canary will be ahead on training. I will deploy you on missions."

"Real missions?" Robin couldn't help asking with a raised brow.

"Yes, but covert," Batman stressed the last word ever so slightly.

"Covert, interesting." Naruto brought his hand to his chin as he took Batman words in.

The Flash had a small smile as he crossed his arms. "The League has these big logos for a reason, let us handle the big stuff."

"For now," Wonder Woman stepped over to her protégée and placed a hand on his shoulder, drawing the new team's attention. "These missions will be your proving ground to us, and the world."

"The darker part of that world is concerning. The villains like Cadmus shows they're adapting, with you, we are as well. A team who can operate on the sly."

Batman nodded lightly before addressing the protégés. "The six of you will be that team."

That proclamation caused a brow to be raised by Naruto, a cross of the arms by Aqualad, and Robin to verbally express his confusion.

"Wait? Six?"

Instead of addressing Robin's question, Batman instead focused beyond them. The others turned to see where he was looked. Martian ManHunter walked forward with a girl that had similar skin color to his own.

"This is the Martian Manhunter's niece, Miss Martian," Batman informs them as Miss Martian waves.

"Hi." The new teen greeted her new team with a small smile.

"Oh, I'm liking this gig all-ready." Kid Flash swooned while giving a wink to Miss Martian.

Naruto walked forward and offered his hand to their new teammate. She smiled at his gesture and shook his hand.

"Welcome."

Miss Martian smiled brightly. "Thanks, I'm honored."

"Hey beautiful, we're as honored as you." Kid Flash speed over to Miss Martian, putting a hand over her shoulder.

The rest of the team, save for Superboy, walked over to Miss Martian to greet their new comrade.

Naruto glanced at Superboy, who just stood with his arms crossed.

Kid Flash noticed Superboy and gestured towards him. "Meet our Superboy."

One would notice the light tint of pink on Megan's face as she looked on at Superboy. Her clothing began to change before everyone's eyes. The Her white shirt changed to black with her cape pulling up into itself until it was no longer there.

"I like your shirt." She said a bit timidly.

Naruto looked at his sister with a raised brow. She only nodded at his look.

"Today is the day," Aqualad said with a triumphet weight in his voice.

|11:31 AM EDT

.

Naruto opened the suitcase that laid before him on his bed. It was present when he entered his room. The signature on it's front side was that of a black bat. His curiosity came over as he looked on it, so he chose to open the case.

Imagine his surprise when he saw his own uniform, only missing it's metal attachments, which he had back in his sister's apartment, save for the crown which he wore now.

He reached for it, and frowned. No, this wasn't his uniform. The material wasn't the same. His was made of thick padded leather. Heavy. This was smooth and thin like silk or a nightgown. He didn't like it. That leather is what helped him in some much dire battles.

In his frustration, he pulled on both sides of the fabric, only to raise a brow when it didn't tear as expected. What kind of material was this made of?

"Is this armor made of the material from man's world?" He whispered to himself as he stood up. He looked around and found his desk. He unrolled his uniform and laid it over it, letting the sleeves and leggings fall to the side.

He tugged on his current shirt, it tore with a tight pull. So the material wasn't that normal, but that wouldn't be odd. His new uniform was also thicker than the clothing he wore now.

He hummed as he took his shield from his back and put it down on the bed.

After a few minutes, he managed to slip on his Uniform. He chose to forgo the armor or now. The outfit breathed easy and it was much easier to move around in than his previous one. Despite that, he disliked how light it felt. It was if he wasn't wearing anything but his under garments.

He would need to try it out, give it some wear to let him get a true feel for it.

Maybe his new home had a place for him to train?

With that idea, he left his room and entered the lounge. The sound of footsteps caught his attention and he turned his head to see Miss Martian exit her own room. She noticed him as she walked in.

"Oh, hello." She offered him an awkward smile.

"Hello sister." Naruto replied as he pulled his hood up the moment he noticed her.

Miss Martian seemed to freeze at his words, confused if he could guess the emotion. He wondered why.

"Is that your costume?" She quickly asked, then put her hands over her face in shock. "I mean, it looks nice! Really good!"

"You believe so?" Naruto asked lightly. "It was designed by my Sister, she believed it would help people see me as a light like her." He smiled lightly at the thought.

Miss Martian put her hands down, not knowing what to do with the information. She didn't expect him to share that information in the first place.

"I like your clothes as well." Naruto said softly.

"Huh?" Miss Martian looked at him in surprise only to calm down with a happy smile. She gazed at her outfit with a happy smile. "Really? I saw this outfit in an Earth Magazine and thought it looked really pretty."

"It looks well on you Sister."

Miss Martian looked at Naruto, her smile waning when she couldn't see his face beyond the shadow of his hood. "So… where are you going? The rest of the team went off with their mentors."

"Looking over the cave." Naruto said as he turned his head to look about the room. He had many paths to start with. "I want to familiarize myself to it."

"Oh? Can I join?"

Naruto turned back to Miss Martian. She had an obvious excitement to her. It was almost desperate. He only nodded and she smiled brightly in return.

The two started with the present floor. Interestingly enough, the first room was the GYM. A place Naruto found interesting.

"Less open then I would hope, but the room above us would be more suited for group combat, the woodlands outside the mountain could help us in field exercise. I'll have to ask my sister to bring Freedom."

"Uhm? Whom?" Megan asked Wonderboy.

"What." Naruto turned back to the Gym, taking notes of the contraptions all around the room. He couldn't recognize the meaning of many of them.

"I'm not that much of weights. I prefer more practical exercise."

Naruto nodded in agreement. "Let's come back here later. There is a lot more to see."

The two left the room to come upon the medical bay. The moment Naruto entered it, he frowned at the excessive amount of Man's technology. There was beds to lie down own on, but they were under heavy machines of which he did not know they're purpose.

Miss Martian may have noticed his frown despite his hood. "Does this room bother you?"

Naruto considered not answering, but he bit his bottom lip to rid himself the idea. "I don't know what any of this. I'm not from Man's world."

"Man's word?" You could feel the confusion in her voice.

Naruto walked into the room. "The name the people Paradise call the world beyond our oceans."

"So, you're an Amazon?"

Naruto turned his head at her. The light in the room only letting her see the lower half of his face.

"Yes, the only male. I was raised there. This world is as new to me as it is to you, or Superboy."

"That's great!" Miss Martian shouted, causing Naruto to raise a brow. She walked over to him and grabbed his hand. "We can help each other adjust, to our new home."

If Miss Martian could see him, she would see Naruto stare at her with wide eyes.

It took a few moments, but Naruto found himself slowly taking his hand from hers. "I would appreciate that, a lot. Thank you, Miss Martian."

"Call me Megan!" The green girl offered a smile.

"I am Wonder Boy," Naruto reached up and pulled his hood off. "But my true name is Naruto Themyscira."

"M'gann M'orzz."

Naruto nodded before he turned away from her. He didn't want her to see the embarrassment on his face. "Let's," he quickly walked out the room. "Let's keep looking."

…

As they returned to the lounge, they found Superboy emerge from one of the far wings.

"Oh, hey Superboy!" Megan greeted him.

Superboy gave them a look before he turned to the couch beside the kitchen.

Megan's smile falls as Superboy turns away.

Naruto glances at Superboy, seeing him take an object from the couch. For a moment he thinks about asking him to join him and Megan. From Megan's own expression she wants to speak with him.

"Superboy," Naruto calls out. "Megan and I are charting out the cave. Will you join us?"

Superboy raises a brow at the two of them. "No thanks." He turns back around and turns on the TV. "Already did it."

Naruto squints at that, his mouth forming a thin line. "Fine." He turns and leaves.

"If you change your mind Superboy, you know where to find us." Megan follows Naruto.

|MOUNT JUSTICE, BASE LEVEL

…

"Wow." Megan marveled at the large space before her. This was the lowest level to the cave. There is lot of open space, with the floor having two levels with a ramp connecting the two. At the bottom floor was a large pool of water; while the upper level had Zeta-Tubes, the cave's main generator, and a platform. They were currently on the second floor.

"This much open space." Naruto floated into the air to looked over the entire room, much to the surprise of Megan.

"You can fly to?"

Naruto rose a brow at her. "I have all the same abilities as my Sister."

"Hello Megan! Wonderboy." Megan slapped her forehead with a roll of the eyes. She had a smile on her face.

"Yes, well." Naruto turned away, scanning the room below them for anything of interest. It was large enough to hold many things. Maybe he could have Freedom here? The forest around the mountain would be good grounds for her to graze and he to ride.

"Naruto?" Megan's voice drew Naruto out of his thoughts.

"Just thinking about something." He told her as he looked over the floors. "But that's enough exploring." He said that much more to himself than Megan.

…

Returning to the third level, Naruto and Megan were met with violence.

Naruto experienced a sense of familiarity as he was tackled to the ground by Superboy. The Kryptonian roared as he slammed fists down against him.

Megan threw her hands up and sent a blast of telekinetic power at Superboy. It pushed him flying back. "Superboy what are you doing!?"

The Boy of Steel only roared as he charged at her, only for Naruto to slam into him to send both into the far wall.

"Calm down Superboy," Naruto grit his teeth as he pinned Superboy against the wall. This was not the best of time for this to be happening. "Get a hold of yourself!"

He only received a roar as Superboy grabbed him by the neck and slammed him into the wall he'd just been pinned to.

Naruto coughed through grit teeth. Superboy slammed him against the rock wall over and over. By the fifth time, he had enough and threw his head back to slam it into Superboy's face. The moment he had to collect himself was used to full effect. He brought his legs up and kicked off the wall to throw both back. Superboy landed on his back as he kept to the air and flipped to make himself upright.

Megan hovered beside him. "What's gotten into him?"

"You can read minds, right? Like Manhunter? See what's going through his head." He pushed her back as Superboy charged at them both.

Naruto grabbed Superboy's arms and threw him into the ceiling. The alien crashed into the ceiling but it seemed to faze him little, he just screamed and kicked off it to tackle Naruto. The two slammed into the floor from the force but Naruto used Superboy's momentum to kick him off.

"I'm getting something, but it feels like something else is there!"

The foreign voice in Naruto's head made him freeze, and that was all it took for Superboy to punch him into the ground and lunge after him.

"Naruto!"

Naruto rolled out of way of Superboy's fist, and did the same for his follow up. "Miss Martian?" He kicked off into the air only to have Superboy grab his ankle and slam him into the ground.

"I established a mind link. I'm trying to get to Superboy, but something else is in the way. Something else is in his mind?"

"Find it!" Naruto struggled to hold back the angry Kryptonian. He barely avoided the punches Superboy could get in. The Kryptonian was slipping from his gripe.

"I'll think I know where it is!"

Naruto didn't dare look away from his opponent, but he couldn't sense her any longer.

Miss Martian could feel the unwelcomed visitor inside the cave. It was on the second level, in the mission room. As she got close, she could decipher what it's mental commands to Superboy were. Mental commands and images that made no sense to her. Poor Superboy probably didn't know what was happing in his head. She needed to find their intruder.

She made it into the second floor and tracked the her physic foe.

She froze at what she saw. It wasn't what she was expecting.

This creature was small. It had small horns that glowed red, black lines around it's round red eyes, thin arms and legs with a small stubby tail. It was one of the gnomes that they found in the Cadmus incident.

"So, it was you little guy?" She floated down to the small creature. It didn't seem to notice her.

She might have picked it up if not for the floor shaking from a sudden brunt force, and it reminded her of the fight going on in the floor below. Until the battle advanced with Superboy pushing Naruto beyond the floor and into the ceiling. She turned to the little creature and focused.

"Okay, how about you take a time out."

With a heavy right hook, Naruto punched Superboy to the floor, kicked of the ceiling and landed before the Kryptonian. He was ready for the next blow to come.

Instead, Superboy only pulled himself up to sit. He rubbed his head and looked right at him. He had a frown as his eyes widened. "What happened?" There was a grogginess to his voice.

Naruto released the breath he held back. He stood up and walked to Superboy and offered him a hand, which he accepted. "You attacked me."

"What are you talking about?"

Naruto pointed to the indents in the floor Superboy's punch had caused. "You attacked me and Megan." His tone wasn't accusing, just was, as if stating the weather.

"It was this little guy!" Miss Martian flew towards them. In her hands was one small creature both Naruto and Superboy were displeased to see.

"How did that get in here?" Naruto reached for the small creature, only for it leap onto Megan's head.

"It was in the mission hall." Megan dropped to the floor softy.

Superboy snarled at it. "What was it doing to me?"

Megan let the thing drop into her arms. "It was just trying to tell you everything about this place. But you fought Jo-I mean Naruto instead." She explained before presenting the small guy to Superboy. It purred softly. "He wanted to be with you."

"I don't." Superboy growled. He walked away as the small creature wined.

Megan frowned, she pulled the little Gnome to her shoulder.

Naruto rubbed his shoulder, only to groan slightly. If Superboy was any stronger he would have dislocated his shoulder.

RECOGNIZE: BATMAN 02

RECOGNIZE: WONDERWOMAN 03

Naruto and Megan turned to see the right Zeta-beam tube light up in power. From the light, Batman stepped forth, along with Wonder Woman moments later.

The two looked over the state of the room then looked at them.

"What happened?" Batman eyes narrowed.

After an explanation of the event, Wonder Woman had taken Naruto to the med bay while Batman talked to Superboy.

"I don't need medical attention." Naruto insisted despite sitting on the bed.

"You may heal, little brother, but you've already been in a battle to keep your life. Your body hasn't healed completely." Wonder Woman stepped over to the bed's controls. A small hum was heard as the light from the machine over Naruto's head turned on.

Naruto didn't respond to that. Only laid down on the bed.

It was only about a minute or so when the hum died down and the light faded.

"No serious damage has been done. Though you shouldn't stress your body for the rest of the day. Knowing you you'll be fine by tomorrow." Her smile caused Naruto have one of his own.

"Diana," Naruto looked away for a moment, trying to find the right words to say. He could feel his sister's curiosity. "There is a lot of empty space in the cave, and a woodland large enough to practice and run. Would it be fine if…"

Diana could see his frown. She walked over to him and put his hand on his shoulder. She could guess what he was trying to ask, but wanted him to say it. "Yes?"

Naruto sighed as he gripped his arm. "Could I bring Freedom?"

Diana smiled at his request. "You won't have the stable master to look out for her."

Naruto slid off the table. "That's fine. I was the one who mostly took care of her."

There was a smirk at his words. "I'll be sure to let her know that. If you wish take you steed, let us go. I'm sure mother would appreciate the surprise."

He chuckled. "Yeah." With that, the two walked back to the others.

…

CHAPTER END

So… I know this chapter has taken a long time. Like a lot of months.

Would you believe me if I said this was 5th attempt at this chapter? Even if you didn't I still wasn't working on it for a long time.

With so much time passing a lot of my ideas for this fic, mainly Naruto's origin and powers and how that can reflect the future of the series. Original Idea, since I'm not using it and sharing, was that Naruto was just a bastard of Zeus.

And I'm not setting my chapters for a specific word count anymore (used to get a min of 5k). When I feel it's done, it's done.

Oh yeah, forgot to say I'm not dead. How will you guys ever know now?

Am I the only one who re-watches this show an unhealthy amount? I think I'm on my 30'th viewing.
