With the holidays things had been slow with the training for YJ but the current training program certainly threw them into the thick of things once more Jerry though. They were supposed to protect a transport ship from waves of robots for as long as they could. Though to make things a little tougher they had to do all of that in white-out blizzard conditions. That was just plain mean Jerry though but then again they did agree to be there for this.

dc_holiday:

Each year toward the end of December people come together with friends and family to celebrate and exchange gifts. The atmosphere is light, merry and there is plenty of cheer to go around. Holiday music fills the air while bright colorful lights light up the nights. Mistletoe is placed in strategic locations and people are willing caught under it.

It's a time of celebration, even for superheroes.

khym_jonzz:

K'hym was at the Secret Sanctuary today, getting a few things set up in her room there (even though she lived in Denver, she still needed a place to stay over), as well as possibly putting in a little training time.

As it was, though, she was looking to see who else might be there today. True, she could have just searched the place with her Martian Vision, but where was the fun in that?

She was singing as she roamed the halls.

" When there's trouble you know who to call
YOUNG JUSTICE!
From our cave, we can see it all
YOUNG JUSTICE!

When there's evil on the attack
You can rest knowing we've got your back
Because when the world needs heroes on patrol
YOUNG JUSTICE GO!

With our super powers we unite
Young Justice!!
Never met a villain that we liked
YOUNG JUSTICE!

We've got the bad guys on the run
We never stop utill the job is done
Because when the world is losing all control
YOUNG JUSTICE! GO! "

They were moving around a lot of stuff and setting up new stuff as Young Justice was making Justice Mountain more of their own place.

Jerry teleported a new couch into the rec room as they got it set up.

in_a_snap:

Jerry took a seat on the couch in the Rec room at Young Justice's Justice mountain base and got ready to put on a movie. He had a big bowl of popcorn on the table with a couple of movie choices that he had brought from home.

It was really nice to be inside in the air conditioning instead of at home without it especially since the water wasn't really all that nice for surfing right now.

After the help that the kid had provided with the justice league it was decided that more training for the upcoming generation of heroes might be a good thing to help them be better prepared for the future. A few months after that Young Justice had set themselves up in Justice Mountain with regular training exercises to better prepare them for the challenges of being heroes.

Their latest exercise had been set up by Cerdian who had hidden several treasure chests in the waters of Rhode Island Sound nearby Happy Harbor to give them some more experience dealing with underwater environments. Cerdian had given them coordinates for the chests and nothing more the rest was up to them. He was on hand to help out if anything went wrong but otherwise was going to leave this to them to figure out and deal with.

apollos_bow:

They'd managed to fend off Grodd's assault, but half the team had still been infected by his deevolution spores. Not the full dose, thankfully, but enough that a lot of the team is still evidencing animal traits. They're working on a cure still, and, rumor has it, will be for a while.

Mikel supposes it could be worse. For some of the team, it is. He's still dealing with smelling all of the world through a rottweiler's muzzle - which has also led to snoring and some difficulty figuring out eating without making a mess, but he's getting used to the worst of it. On the slight upside, he's amazed how comfortable the bean bag chair is to curl up in.

dc_misc:

The Justice League was having an open house for all their current, former and reservist heroes and their friends and families. It was a nice way to show what their member did on a regular basis and build up camaraderie and to give heroes who were members of the justice league something to strive for in the future. This was especially useful with the older generation of heroes starting to retire and the younger generation stepping up to take their place.

Jerry had the day free and decided he wanted to do something fun today and just hang out with a friend. With this in mind Jerry called up Iris to see if she wanted to do anything today and that she could meet him that their usual spot.

After he hung up his phone he teleported to Disney World to wait for Iris underneath Cinderella’s castle.

green_lantern:

Dex had spent the two weeks following the final battle with the Black Lanerns patrolling Earth and the solar system. He wasn't going to let something like that happen again on his watch. It was bad enough it happened one time. He checked in regularly with the YJLA just to make sure things were quiet.

Once he felt things had quieted down, Dex was going to take some time for himself. For him that meant a few things. Pizza. Beer. Cartoons. Fighting. They were the things that made for a happy Dex. A happy Dex was a less cranky Dex.

One thing that he had thought about during the whole mess with the black lanterns was something to deal with Rose. He just needed to win a few more fights to have enough money to pay for a condo for her grandmother and brother. He didn't want them living in that bad part of the city. They deserved better and Dex would make sure they got it.

The YJLA headquarters were quiet and Dex was taking advantage of the quiet to watch some Looney Tunes.

dc_misc:

The city of Star City looked deserted. The citizens had either fled or had been turned into black lanterns. At the heart of the city was the entity known as Nekron. Nekron used the city as his base as his black lanterns ravaged the Earth.

The black lanterns increased their numbers each day and the power levels of the black lantern battery increased with each person that died.

Soon Nekron would have enough power to obliterate all life on this planet.

The sun was just setting in the western sky as night settled in over Metropolis. Along with night came another form of darkness, one more sinister and evil. The black lanterns move through the city looking for victims to rip hearts out of and add to their numbers.

At the Hall of Justice, where the YJLA was currently taking refuge, everything seemed calm and quiet. In spite of the recent Black Lantern attacks, the team seemed to be holding up well, and many of the members were currently resting and recovering from helping out with various relief efforts.

Yes, all seemed well and good for the Young Justice League...

Outside, a dark cloud grew over the Hall of Justice...and a horde Black Lanterns closed in on the Young Justice League.

tiny_tornado:

Years ago, the Hall of Justice had been the Earthbound headquarters of the Justice League, the compliment to an orbiting satellite portion.  It had eventually been discontinued as a headquarters, but the museum portion remained and much of the equipment was still present, usable as a back-up location.  Located in Washington DC, where the All-Star Squadron had once had their own headquarters, it remained a popular tourist destination.

Traya had spent a lot of time here, once upon a time, when her father had been damaged and stored in the computer system.

It was to here that she and Michael had come, to get the warning out to everyone else.

The headquarters portion was dusty, but Traya whisked it all away with a couple of well placed gusts and got the computer systems running.

"This is Whirlwind of the Young Justice League, to anyone reachable by this message.  Firestorm and I have encountered a zombie version of Kid Flash.  We defeated him, but we don't... we don't know if there are more of them...   YJLA HQ is wrecked.  We are requesting anyone available converge upon the Hall of Justice... repeat..."

The YJLA and the Avengers had a busy week. They had been searching the globe for signs of Kang all week, but no trace of the time-traveling conqueror could be found. The people who attacked the YJLA seemed to have disappeared into thin air as well. It had been a quiet week for both teams. Little did they know it was the calm before the storm.

The two teams met at the YJLA headquarters for a brief meeting to go over the results of their searches and to lay plans for the upcoming days. Both teams were gathered in the conference room when there was a bright flash and they were all transported to a spot some distance away from Kang's Fortress at the End of Time.

It was time to fight what should be the final battle in this adventure.

shield_maiden:

The Avengers were shown to quarters in the YJLA headquarters and given some time to get cleaned up and settle in. When the allotted time was up everyone on both sides were called to the meeting room. It would be a time to do formal introductions and figure out why the Avengers were here.

Svalin found the room without any problems and entered. It was empty and she took a seat in a chair that allowed her a good view of the door.

injus_society:

It had been simple, very simple, and he couldn't be happier. Lex Luthor was dead. Superman was dead. Now the Justice League would be destroyed. It was the ultimate victory and it was his. He had succeeded where all others had failed. They lured them out with some random violence on ground of their choosing and then attacked.

“Now. Destroy them,” he said to his “team”.

He was invisible as he wore a helm similar to Hades'. The shadowy figure raised the trident in his hand and struck it on the ground. The ground began to rumble and shake as an earthquake shook Metropolis. He smiled and hurled the lightning bolt in his hand at the son of Superman. It was time to kill the son like he had killed the father. The Kryptonian couldn't fight what he couldn't see.

Lyta was busy controlling the demon like beings she had summoned using the Pandoran Box. The demons were currently attacking Corinna, the Amazon. In addition to her minions she wielded the Chronian Sickle which boosted her magical abilities. She was driving the Amazon back it was just a matter of moments until the Amazon fell.

Kandra had taken on the male Green Lantern and had used her yellow and violet rings against him. The man had held his own for quite awhile, but eventually Kandra had overpowered him. She was using the yellow ring to beat him into the ground.

Serendipity shouted “SIVANA!” and the proceeded to take on the new Firestorm. She called down the thunderbolt and hit Firestorm with it. Then proceeded to use her strength and speed against him.

Devil Ray was holding his own against the Atlantean, but neither one seemed to have the advantage. Though Devil Ray did wear the Cape of Leviathan hide and would not be hurt by the Atlantean's blows.

Ocelot was running circles, literally, around the Gardner girl while M'stee M'ai used her Kyptonian like powers to shoot heat beams from her eyes at Petra.

Fury attacked Alina and blinded the magic user with a burst of light brighter than the sun. As soon as Alina was temporarily blinded, she attacked with fists while as dense as she could be.

The Young Justice League was against the ropes and it would only be a matter of moments before they would be defeated at the hands of a shadowy figure and his team.

Wendi hadn't stopped running since she'd fled the scene of Mickey's murder.  She had no destination in mind, she just needed to run, run as far away as she could.

Somewhere in that running, her hour ran out.  She skidded violently out of the Speed Force, retaining her friction aura just enough to protect her from the impact with the rough sand of the desert.  She pushed herself to her feet, coughing sand, and in the distance, saw pyramids.

God, what the heck was I doing, running like that?  I just... Mickey... I couldn't... that kind of thing doesn't... we're the good guys...

She was unsteady on her feet and sat down again.

"Yeah, messed that one up good, Wendi."

She turned her hourglass over.  She could probably call someone on the JSA comm to come get her, but she was probably better off just waiting until she could run again.

dc_holiday:

Invites had been sent to the YJLA, JSA, Teen Titans, Outsiders, Birds of Prey, Shadowpact, and anyone affiliated with the various teams.

Once again, the time had come for the annual Christmas party at the Justice League Watchtower. The entire Watchtower had been decorated for the holiday, and there was more food than anyone could ever hope to eat. Some heroes attended in costume, while some were out. A giant tree stood in the center of the room, having been decorated earlier that day. There was also mistletoe, hidden in several clever locations.

It was time for everyone to celebrate and be with friends, and forget about any worries for a little while.

partdemon:

Mike had talked to Sindella about what the girls had been up to so secretly and may have used telepathy to read her surface thoughts and found out about Rate the Hunk. Sindella had not been very happy about that and made him swear not to ask anything more about that and that he was going to have to do something big to make it up to her.

But he had been given the idea to host a rate the babe event for the guys because that sounded like a ton of fun to him. Since he was done with classes for the semester he drove to metropolis to set things up for the party at his dad’s penthouse there.

He sent out invites to all the teams he knew about that they could come and also made a special note to the teleports to not try directly teleporting inside with the wards his dad had set up

.He then set up the projector for the photos and got enough food and drinks to feed everyone one then some.

Grandma Sunshine was in the kitchen, baking goodies for her grandchildren, who were all nicely taking their naps in the little bedroom that she'd tucked them in.

She would have to leave them to run a couple of errands in a little while, and she'd arranged for some babysitters for her super-powered kiddies, but she couldn't wait to spend the whole afternoon with her new grandkids.

Meanwhile, the YJLA would find themselves waking up...and finding something was different.

dc_baddie:

Mary Lou Sunshine had always wanted grandchildren.

Unfortunately for her, her son would never leave the basement long enough to meet a nice girl and get married and lovely little babies for her to spoil.

Still, she wanted grandchildren. So she was going to get some grandchildren.

And who better to have as grandkids than those nice little boys and girls in the Justice League?

Grandma Sunshine walked right up to Young Justice League headquarters, a basket of goodies in hand. She rang the doorbell, a smile on her face.

The room lined with statues of Titans that given their lives to help others was something that Iris didn't set foot on a regular basis.

It wasn't that she had never been in it. It was just that she could never go in without feeling the urge to cry.

Today, that urge was especially strong.

Because the newest statue was one of her best friend.

Jerry had gotten everything set up for his and Iris’s long weekend at Disney. He had booked a suite at the Boardwalk hotel for them. There was a Bedroom and a separate living area he was of course sleeping on the couch in the living area while Iris was going to get the bedroom.

Of course his Mom and Dad had talk to the Wests and worked things out. Grandma had volunteered to chaperon but Mom convinced her it would not be necessary.

Jerry gathered all the stuff he though he need for the trip and teleported down there to an out of site spot he had noticed on a Map and walked into the Lobby of the Boardwalk hotel to wait for Iris before he checked them in.

catchmeifyoucan:

Since the calendar had turned to the month of September, Iris had been counting down the days until their birthday. She'd been planning the party since back in June. Jai normally had no problem letting her handle the party planning itself.

She had invited all of the Titans, including Pipi and Mitzi, of course. And Jon, Corinna, Traya, Cindy, Jerry, Keith, Cerdian, and Wendi, too. And Riley, because if she didn't invite him, he'd probably tag along with Dinah anyway. She also told Cait that she could bring her mom along, if she wanted to get out of the Tower, and that her parents probably wouldn't mind the company at all. Jai probably invited some people too, though the guest list was pretty much the same between the two of them.

Everything was all set up, and Iris placed the wrapped package that had Jai's gift on the table where the other gifts would go. Grinning from ear to ear, she waited for everyone to arrive.

dc_monsters:

A small herd of Hippocampus had charged in and taken over the harbor of Happy Harbor. They attacked any ships or people that got close to them.

They did not seem to be going after anyone once they got away from the herd.

Four different kinds of gourmet Macaroni and Cheese. Stacks upon stacks of different finger sandwiches, with the yards worth of crusts used to make a couple of heated trays of bread pudding. A pineapple-banana-pecan cake possibly bigger than the birthday girl herself. A small table of vegan stuff, just in case.

Cindy couldn't stop grinning at it. Had she found awesome caterers or what?

The band specialized in swing covers of hard rock songs, but could play just about anything. There was a dance floor. All her friends from school were there, dressed to the eights.

Of course, all Cindy's friends from school didn't really fill up the little reception hall. And she certainly didn't have a big family. But that was okay, more room for her soon-to-be-colleagues fellow super-brats.

And so she scurried, from arrival to arrival, for cheerful welcomes.

Jerry had heard that there was suppose to be an amazing meteor shower tonight and the best place to see it was in the Arches National Park in Utah. He had let dad knew he was going to spend the night there which his dad was totally fine with.

After teleporting in with some basic supplies he started looking for a good place to watch it from. Teleporting around the park he saw a mesa that looked like he could get a great view from. He snapped his fingers and appeared in a flash of green at the top of the mesa.

What he saw up there was something that he Jerry Carr had trouble believing. There was a organic looking machine with little robotic drones eating the rocks. And one charged right at him.

Quickly snapping both hands he teleported away and teleported a boulder right on top of the drone crushing it. Jerry let out a sigh of relief until he noticed that the drones were now eating the boulder and forming even more drones.

This was bad and Jerry knew he could not handle this by himself and felt that it would be smart to call in as much help as he could.

Teleporting back to his stuff away from the mesa he grabbed his cell phone and started calling all of the people he knew who were superheroes to get as much help as he could.

What Makes a Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,

He called it ... Dad

Jerry had finally finished up his senior project the last thing he needed to do in order to graduate from high school. It had been a long and annoying process and he was so glad to be done. He felt that he had aced the presentation, he felt that the judges loved him and his project and with the amount of work he had put into the speech  there was no way he didn’t ace it.

Jerry was ready to celebrate which for him involved going to a beach in Hawaii before doing some partying by in Happy Harbor with his friends who had also finished. He knew this great black sand beach with great surfing which he wanted to spend a couple hours at and maybe even work on his tan.

 The cars drive by outside, the birds chirp, and inside twenty-four separate clocks tick in perfect unison. A small get away lair for Professor IQ back in the day, taken over by Clock King afterwards, and now in the possession of one "Scott Bartholomew West" or, as his real name was, Scott Bartholomew Rayner-West or Knight-Rayner-West, depending on the side of the family, and forever known as Highball to his grandmother.

Calling him Scott would be much easier. And in this era, money is everything. So Scott is ready not only for alerts from Scooter (downstairs in the lab, watching The Shawshank Redemption), but also for customers with broken time pieces.

Just another day at Western Time Watch Repairs.

The day after Keith and Henry Jerry had teleported to Keith house outside the front door. Jerry had the essentials for him at least for the trip, his passport, about 50 Euros, and his cellphone with a GPS app to make visualizing his teleports easier. Jerry was of course late to pick Keith up well after the 9 that he had said he would do. While it was a after 9 in the morning here in Star City it was already past 6 pm in Germany which was where he was taking Keith as a way of saying sorry for pantsing and royally embarrassing Keith in front of the paparazzi.

Jerry rang the doorbell and waited for someone to answer it.

sonic_arrow:

Yeah, Keith was unhappy about the situation with Jerry Carr.  Not only did the papparazzi have photos of the young Queen chasing some dude in his underwear, but they also got the snapshots of him slipping on the banana.  They didn't say anything about green flashes and teleporting.  Instead, the headlines were all about Keith being an idiot.  And on top of that, he'd just gotten back from being kidnapped by Henry's villains.

He picked up his phone and dialed Henry's number.  Jerry was at Henry's party that time.  He should know about Jerry.

in_a_snap:

Jerry didn’t have school today due to flooding around his state while it wasn’t too bad in Happy Harbor one major road was closed and subsequently school was canceled too. This was the perfect time to go out and have some fun exploring with his power.

This seemed like as good a time as any to go exploring Gotham especially if since it was still light outside. He wasn’t sure what he was going to do there yet but have the fun of going on these types of trips was not knowing and just letting things happen.

After getting himself ready to go with money and a green lantern t-shirt he closed his eyes and snapped his fingers.

lantern_kid:

Henry grins as he makes certain the bowls of chips are filled. Sodas are available. He's got a hidden stash of beers in his room, but... it's an underage superhero party. They're not visible to most. Those who want one will know to ask him.

People will be arriving soon. He's got tunes, he's got snacks and drinks, he's got games set up to go, and he's got superhero kids coming from all over. While the primary purpose was to make certain the YJLA got a chance to meet Avalon and Josh, the Titans and others have all been invited, too.

This party will rock.
