Part two of my Burn It All Down series as incorrect quotes (Part one)

Songbird, entering her old safe house: "Hello people who do not live here." Blitz, playing video games: "Hey." Songbird: "I gave you a spare key for emergencies only." Blitz: "We ran out of doritos."

Huntian: "Have you lost your mind? " Blue Lantern: "Okay, in our defense..." Huntian: "You have no defense. You're idiots." Blue Lantern: "That was a big part of our defense."

Songbird: "Wow I feel so happy right now!" Songbird: Songbird, narrowing her eyes: "Something’s wrong…"

Songbird: "Damnit, I cut my finger" Supergirl: "Want me to kiss it better?" Songbird: "That works?" Supergirl: "Yeah, my dad used to do it when I was little" *later* Songbird: "Hex, I need you to punch me in the mouth" Hex: "Fucking finally"

Firewall (aka Hal's Son): "Let's say, hypothetically, I got us into some major legal trouble with a powerful person. What would you do?" Songbird: "Well, I’d kill you. Hypothetically."

Huntian: "You lost 25 thousand dollars?! How?! It’s just… gone?!" Blue Lantern: "Well, I suppose it still exists, it’s just not mine anymore."

Blitz: "C’mon, we’re gonna love working together!" Hex: "Why? We don’t even like living together."

Dreamcatcher: "Your legs are broken but, other than that, you only have psychological problems." Apollo (aka Oliver's son): "Well, I could’ve told you that."

Supergirl: "You love me, right?" Songbird: "Normally I’d say yes without hesitation, but I feel like this is going somewhere and I don’t like it."

Okay because of the new Superman movie sneak peek, I am imagining Supergirl with Krypto.

Like you know how dogs get confused when you dye your hair or change your appearance, like just imagine Krypto seeing her after she ran away, like quite literally by pure chance or like she was stopping a plane crash or something that just so happened to be near Smallville and catches her scent but then she looks different, like in her suit. Like he starts biting and tugging at her cape while nipping at her feet because she smells and sounds like the girl he used to know, but she looks different.

Or like imagine if he starts dragging her home because he thinks she's lost like she was when she was when she was a little girl and on walks with him, so Clark and his darling just see like Krypto dragging her home by her cape from the front porch.

God, imagine Superboy being like, super conflicted about babysitting Supergirl. Like, on hand, he really wants to be close to Superman and he's low-key kinda jealous of her. On the other, the child imprints on him like a duckling because he "reminds her of her brother/dad" and she's so sweet even his assholery lowers.

It the end, they'll be like: "I only had Supergirl for one day, but if anything happens to her, I'll kill everyone in the room and then myself" meme

Also, Wally and Blitz definitely adore each other. Sorry but I see him genuinely seeing her like his little sister

Burn It All Down Spoilers

Like not even in that little babysitting AU I wrote, but that is just season one Conner with her.

Like in the canon on the story, I imagine the first time Conner met her is when the world was separated into adults and children and she was thirteen, maybe fourteen at the time. She was on a school trip at the time and the teachers disappeared which resulted in her almost getting hit by a driverless car, but luckily she was saved by Conner.

Conner had probably seen photos of her before, probably someone like Dick hacking into Justice League member’s phones and finding that and showing it to Conner. Hell half of Clark’s camera roll are photos of his daughter and the other half are photos of his wife. She has a perfect life with two parents who love her more than anything else (nevermind the fact that her mother was basically forced into that relationship, she does not know that), but at the same time she is such a sweet girl, like when they got the children to a safe place she fell asleep with her head on Conner’s shoulder.

But then after Clark warms up to Conner, he loves that girl more than anything, he went to every single one of her soccer games until Clark upped her from the team, watched her when Clark was on long missions, was at her high school graduation, and was the first person Clark called when she ran away.

But also Wally and Blitz are basically siblings, I agree with that statement. No notes.

Hear me out

This is how I imagine Blitz on her superhero attire (maybe with a different logo for her suit because maybe she wants to set herself apart from her father, but otherwise is exactly how I imagine her)

Burn It All Down

Honestly you read my mind Anon.

I have been sketching up concepts and I honestly think that Blitz would be the most lax with her suit, wearing zip up hoodies over it, bringing headphones with her cause it gets boring when the world is in slow motion (she can have the songs on 400x speed, it works), and then hell she may try to wear rollerblades on the job just to see if it makes her go faster (it does).

Like I imagine her being one of the first to really hit it off in the spotlight and on social media, or like imagine that Barry hasn’t told his darling what their daughter is doing and she finds out via when Bart is scrolling through his social media when visiting them and she sees a post of her daughter in a hero suit taking a photo with a kindergartner that she saved.

Anyway, Gen Z Blitz.

Burn It All Down Spoilers

Okay I made this post about Songbird’s secret identity job being an a celebrity, maybe a model, actress, singer you catch the vibe, so just expanding on that idea…

This the first part of multiple posts talking about these ideas.

Okay something about Supergirl being a baker just feels so right. Like her working at a little bakery that is owned by a little old lady who reminds her of her Grandma. Like she probably knows how to bake really well from watching her Grandma bake because you know Martha and Jonathan watched her all the time when she was little. The place she would work at would not be anything fancy, like her only uniform being her name tag and apron which was handmade by the little old lady who owns the shop, so she can wear whatever cute little outfits she wants to.

Or bonus points if it’s in Metropolis near the Daily Planet and Clark runs in there on a quick coffee run and she is behind the counter, chatting with another customer…

Diana’s son, Huntian, was originally hoping to be a lawyer before he had to leave school rather unprecedentedly. While my intention is for him is to reclaim his family’s land, and then he would have a public identity as a leader of a new country, but before that imagine if he was a lawyer like he wanted to be. I think the visual of him walking into a court room, maybe on a case where a Justice League member has to testify and he is either the court clerk or maybe even the prosecutor.

With Songbird, like I said she would be a celebrity, not just because she is the daughter of Bruce Wayne, but because she is talented. I think Songbird would be a singer, after all she did live with Black Canary for a year. I cannot tell if I want to give her more of a punk rockstar vibe or the more soft popstar vibe, I could see it go either way since her more natural self has a darker vibe but for years before she left Gotham she was the city’s little sweetheart, Bruce Wayne’s princess. It would be hard to believe that she of all people is a vigilante.

Burn It All Down Spoilers

Okay I am just thinking about the secret identities in the Burn It All Down series, because they cannot just sit around and have their only life being hero work, they are all adults so it got me thinking and I had an idea and it may be a silly thought but hear me out…

Songbird having some sort of celebrity job like a model or a music artist. It makes sense if you think about it, her biological father is Bruce Wayne, playboy millionaire, with that alone she would have good genes and then not to mention her mother and I have stated in previous works that her mom is gorgeous. So it would make sense that in the public eye that she is some pretty rich girl, so what better way to hide her identity than to play into the stereotypes the public has of her, she is her father’s daughter after all.

I dunno just a thought.

Burn It All Down

(Yandere!Justice League & Yandere!Young Justice)

Based on Yandere!Justice League with their darling!children AU

Previous Chapter <- Chapter Ten, Legacy -> Next Chapter

This chapter is told from the perspective of Wonder Woman's Son!Reader

Each chapter will be the perspective of the reader but as the different children since when I originally had this concept, they were all darling/reader characters.

You sat on your bed in your room in the penthouse, well it was a shared bedroom with Hex but that was beside the point, it was the middle of the day but you had nothing better to do so you were sitting and reading that book that your new owl friend brought you when you first met, a copy of The Odyssey. The book's content would be the same that you would find in any version but this one had no publisher mentioned, no published date, and certainly no sort of related address included, to put it simply this copy of the book did not exist on any record. You were perplexed by this book, you read through the contents of the book but not one thing was different, you even checked out a copy of the book from the library under a false name to cross-reference the two, but it was word for word. Your owl is currently flying through the halls of the penthouse, entertaining herself with something or other, which leaves you all by yourself. You sighed, forcing yourself to stand up from your bed, grabbing your hoodie and backpack from where they hung at the end of your bedpost. You walked out of your bedroom and ran down the stairs to the lower floor of the apartment where you saw Songbird and Supergirl sitting down in the living room.

“I’m going out.” You called out to the two of them, walking off to the elevator door, and pressing the down arrow button beside the large metal doors. “Getting some coffee, you two want something?”

“No.”

“I’m good, I had tea earlier.”

“Alright, see you two later-”

“Be back before this evening, I have a friend coming over.” Songbird interrupted you, catching your attention again, and making you turn your head to look where she sat on the couch. “It’s the friend who is making the… gifts for all of you, the suits and the gear.”

“Noted, be back before five?”

“Five works just fine.”

You lied to Songbird and Supergirl, you would indeed be back before five but you were not getting coffee. You checked the address on your phone again as you walked up the New York City subway stairs, a book and antiques store in upper Manhattan was your destination, it was snuggled between a jewelry shop and a bakery. You looked up at the words painted on the glass of the window, Relics and Rarities, an interesting place to say the least and it seemed more of a place where you would find Hex at, your friend and current roommate. You pushed open the wooden door that was painted a dark teal, the paint was faded and chipped in some places, but it held some sort of an old-fashioned charm. The shop was cluttered with bookshelves and cases of bits and bobs in between, but behind all of it you could see a little old lady behind the counter, a woman you were familiar with but had not seen you in over a decade. She looked up at you, smiling for a moment as you walked up to the counter, but then a look of delighted shock came across her face when your form focused in her old and decaying vision.

“Oh my…” She gasped, walking out from behind the counter, a smile peaking out from her gapping lips. “It couldn’t be…”

“Hi Grandma…” She nearly sobbed out as you confirmed her suspicion. She was your maternal grandmother and your only current living grandparent and living biological family, but more importantly she had not seen you in what was nearing twenty years and for all she knew, you had died with the rest of your family that night on the boat. You just let her wrap her arms around you as she began to cry, and you could hardly blame her after all that had happened to you over the years.

Leave it to a Greek grandmother to spoil you, closing the shop early and after you did your best to explain everything to her that has happened to you over the last many years, your new adoptive mothers, living upon Themiscyra, and what you were currently up to now before she took you to the apartment upstairs where she lived since you were a little boy. You sat at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee, as she stood at the kitchen counter, cutting a slice of something despite telling her you were not hungry. She picked up the small plate and set it back down on the table in front of you, it was melopita, a honey and cheese pie. 

“Eat, you are too thin.” She urged you on as she sat down across from you. “Get some meat on your bones.”

“Noted.” You laughed as you sliced the side of your fork through the pie before you picked it up and brought it up to your lips, slipping the bite into your mouth. It tasted just as amazing as you remembered, better in fact, the sweet and tangy flavors bouncing off your tongue as you savored the taste before swallowing it down. You hummed as you set the fork down on your plate, looking up at your grandmother. “Actually Grandma, I was wondering about something recently.”

“Yes?”

“Some… strange things have happened lately.” You replied to her, reaching back to where your backpack hung off the back of your chair, pulling the zipper of the bag down, and reaching in to take out the book, the copy of The Odyssey. You set it on the table, sliding it across the table to your grandmother. “A few weeks ago I got this book and since them weird things have happened, I know books are your thing but this one has no publisher or-”

“Who gave it to you?”

“Grandma?”

“Who gave it to you?” Her sudden serious tone set you off, it felt like the words you spoke set off a spark in her mind. She just stared down at the book intently as if she were looking at solid proof of some sort of deep-rooted theory. 

“It… it was an owl…” You sighed shaking your head, your fingertips tracing the edge of the kitchen table where you were sitting. “Sorry that sounds absolutely crazy but-”

“No, no, you do not sound crazy at all, you have no idea how truly wonderful this is!” She gasped, her demeanor suddenly changing and catching you off guard as she suddenly stood up from the table, rushing to the doorway. She glanced back at you, waving her hand frantically for you to stay seated. “You stay here, eat.”

“O-okay, Grandma…” You sighed and stabbed the fork down into the pie again, taking another bite of the pie and bringing it back up to your lips, knowing your grandma she would send you home with the rest of the pie, just like how she would send plates upon plates of food home with your birth parents when you came to visit her from Maine.

It was a solid fifteen minutes or so when your grandmother returned carrying a thick leather-bound book, it did not look like one she carried in her shop, it was more reminiscent of some old scrapbook or photo album. She set it down on the table beside your plate of pie, you watched as she sat down again and gestured with her hand for you to open it. You shifted to turn towards the book, flipping open to the first page it was photographs, very old photos in black and white, probably taken at some point in the nineteen twenties. It was of some well-dressed young man, no older than seventeen at the time, he was in a suit and tie, sitting in an armchair, he looked like you which did not surprise you since you were always told you had genes from your mother’s side of the family. What was particular about the photograph was the fact that there was an owl resting on the windowsill, an owl who looked nearly identical to the owl who followed you from the alleyway.

“Grandma… this man?”

“Your great-great uncle, the first of our family to come to America, he was a very successful journalist when he was alive, in the forties he even covered the Justice Society of America in the forties.” You let her point to another photo on the page, it was of your uncle though he was a bit older with another man, the other man wore a cape with a high collar and a costume that appeared less form-fitting than modern hero costumes. The solid color tunic had an emblem of a classic oil lantern on the chest. He wore a dark domino mask to conceal his identity. You recognized the man he was with, the first Green Lantern on Earth. But another peculiar thing about the photo was that the owl was resting atop your ancestor’s shoulder. “Rumor says that he knew the identity of that old Green Lantern, they were even friends, but he never told a word of who was behind the mask.”

“But, Grandma… that owl…”

“You know the stories about where our family comes from, ancient heroes of legend.” She tapped the first photo you had originally taken notice of. “And I know you know who that owl really is, my boy.”

“...The Goddess of Wisdom, Athena.” “That would be correct, it is every few generations of our family that she makes herself known to us as she did with you, someone who reminds her of...” She gestured over to the book you had brought with you, the book that the owl had given you, The Odyssey. “...well she’s given you the book.”

“Our ancestors… wait you don’t mean?”

“Oh, but I do.” You let her take your hands in her own, giving it a light squeeze. “It is the story of where our family comes from.” Your mind was reeling from what she had just told you, but she merely chuckled at your startled reaction and picked up the old leather photo album as she stood up, she patted you on the shoulder, giving you that same old smile of hers. “Seems like the Goddess of Wisdom sees much of him in you.”

You returned just before five, and as you predicted, you were sent home with the rest of the pie you had at your grandmother’s, it was not the rest of the slice, it was the rest of the whole pie, certainly enough to share with your housemates. You certainly sitting in the living room alongside the rest of your group, you tossed the book around in your hands, the book the owl gave you, waiting impatiently for whomever Songbird said was coming. You suppose Blue Lantern did not need gear or a suit since everything she needed lay within that power ring that she was given, and then her brother volunteered to run comm lines and anything technical-based since that seemed to be the only thing he felt that would be useful to your little team after all Firewall was the alias he told you all when you met. 

Your thoughts were interrupted when you heard the elevator alarm ding, you were not the only person who looked to see who was walking out of the elevator, rolling black creates that reminded you of something that you would see in some spy movie. You saw the way Songbird’s eyes lit up when she saw the man coming out of the elevator, He was a pretty young man, in his late twenties, with brown hair and eyes, freckles, and he wore a pastel blue vest and pink tie. Songbird was the first to stand up to run over and hug the stranger, seeming to be good quite good friends with him.

“Everyone, this is Mr. Mark Austen, he is a very old friend of mine from my time back in Gotham.” Songbird chimed in to introduce the stranger to you all, hid name did ring bells in your head, you remember the mention of his name when you, Supergirl, and Songbird were staying at that one safe house before you were interrupted by who Songbird called one of the most dangerous men in the world. “And he is also the one who I asked to make gear and suits for us, he made suits and gear for me back in Gotham.”

“That would be correct.” The young man responded, giving a nod to you all along with the smile he already wore upon his face. “I would just like to say that it is an honor to be of assistance to you all, Miss Way- Songbird has been a close friend of mine throughout the years, so any friend of hers is a friend of mine.” He gestured to the black cases that he brought inside along with him. “Now all that aside, I have gifts for all of you.”

Burn it Down got me into rewatching the Young Justice League again and now I'm hooked on it. I forgot how much of a little shit Dick was, and of course, Wally, my love🥲

And now because of your fic, I can't stop imagining Songbird and the others in the episodes too and inserting them in the narrative, but with the first season's timeline, they must be children yet, so

Imagine an episode when one of the Young Justice League's mission is just to babysit the League's kids while their Darlings can't. What sounds as an easy mission at first turns into a whole episode and half of them having to run themselves ragged to keep an eye on the kids because they're so intense and active and refuse to take their orders.

(I know in your canon Barry's daughter and Superman's don't develop their powers until they're older and they don't know each other yet, but it's a silly What If)

Burn It All Down Spoilers!!!!!

Well actually the start of Burn It All Down is just after the start of season two of Young Justice so we will be seeing bits of the show soon. But I think it is so funny to me for the YJ team being begrudgingly allies with the kids, like in season three Songbird helping shut down the meta human trafficking ring or going to Santa Prisca herself to investigate the League of Shadows and fighting and losing against Lady Shiva. Or Hex help fight Child in season four after he finally learns how to have more control over his powers. Or like at the end season four when Wally dies and Blitz tries to help but… well I’ll save that for later.

But I definitely love the idea of the YJ team baby sitting the kids, like obviously this would not work in the canon of Burn It All Down, like like season one team babysitting the kids, it is absolute chaos. Like placing the kids at around six to ten range for the sake of this post, Songbird and Hex being the oldest and Blitz being the youngest and everyone else falling in between.

Songbird was definitely that annoyingly smart kid when she was a child and she cannot stand being babied by her older brother on the team, Songbird was twenty times worse than Dick was as a child, like the the Justice League’s first impression of her is being carried by the scruff of her neck like a cat because she tried getting into things she wasn’t supposed to and she cannot be left alone.

Supergirl was an absolute angel as a child and given how season one Conner was, she would have polar opposites to him. Like she was the sweetest little girl with cute little yellow dress and pigtails, like she is so small compared to Clark that it is almost hard to believe that she is the daughter of the Superman. But if they met as children, her and Songbird would be joined at the hip.

Huntian would kinda be traumatized as a child because remember he saw his entire family die in a boat crash as a child. So if the team was going to baby sit him and the others it would be really hard for him to let go of his new moms. He was a quiet child, definitely a book worm, so him and Artemis probably would get along, sitting and reading to him to sleep, all curled up in his blanket and I think he would definitely have a sheep stuffed animal, if you know you know.

Blitz can physically not be let go of or else she’ll bolt, even if she does not get her speed until her teenage years, she is still such a problem child. God forbid that in this AU she gets her powers earlier, than Wally would just have to be carrying her all the time unless he has to chase her down.

Hex is definitely a well behaved child, clinging to Zatanna’s side like he supposed to. Honestly he was a fairly normal child, I like to think that he was a sleepy child so just half the time Zatanna is just carrying him around because he is napping.

Aquaman’s son, or his hero name Pisces, is such a shy little thing. Like just him hiding behind Kaldur'ahm half the time because he is the one person he knows from home but eventually with a little bit of nudging he warms up to the other children. I also think the idea of Pisces having a cute little kitten yawn as a child is like adorable like at the end of the day when it’s time to go home, Kaldur has to carry him all the way from how exhausted he is.

Martian Manhunter’s adopted daughter, or her hero name of Dreamcatcher, is also another very well behaved child. M'gann doesn’t even have to worry about her younger cousin because of how sweet she is. But also just Dreamcatcher and Supergirl being friends immediately, like just imagine Supergirl giving one of her stuffed animals to Dreamcatcher.

Then Hal’s twins are so mischievous as children, like carbon copies of the Weasley twins. Like they cannot have the twins and Blitz in the same room together because chaos will ensue. Like honestly the team has no idea how Hal does not loose his mind, probably using the power ring to his advantage to take care of his two chaos children.

But thinking about the canon of Burn It All Down, there is a way the team could babysit the kids, well babysit is a sweet way of putting it, getting caught is a more appropriate word for it. Like it is only for a short while since powers are coming in and at this point the children could be at risk since they put themselves into the public light and they could be caught and used against the Justice League. Like inhibitor collars and kept in the Watchtower while they figure out a better long term solution…

[fancyfeathers]

Reading Burn it Down for the tenth time already, I can't help but notice how weirdly similar Songbird is to her own father, specially in the way she handles the others. Does she realise their brains are basically wired the same way? That she's a version of Batman but in a younger girl? Does HE know? I bet those who know them both take a look and say "yeah, these two are related"

Also, I thought of something funny. You know how Batman and Hal have this ungoing seemingly eternal beef, where mostly Hal pisses him off and Batman wants to strangle him silently, and viceversa? Imagine Sonbird and Hal's son having the same dynamic..except they don't have a particular reason for it. It just happened. Like

Hal's son: "God, she's so unsufferable. She's such a smug little shit, I can't stand her."

Songbird: "I feel like he was put into this world just to get on my nerves. Seriously, can't he just shut up?"

And when someone asks why they dislike each other so much, they both go "I don't know...it's like instinctive. Like I was born to hate her/him"

Meanwhile, both fathers hearing this: "................is this how we look like?"

Burn It All Down Spoilers!!!!!

Songbird inherited the batglare™️

She is the most experienced person on the team, having been on her own for four years, five years if you count the year she spent with Green Arrow and Black Canary. Honestly she is more like her father than she’d like to admit, but she is definitely more approachable as a hero, the fact that she is not wearing all black helps. Between her costume and her personality, she is like a mix between Black Canary and Batman, so there are bets among civilians about who she is related to like…

“She is almost always seen with Black Canary and Green Arrow-“

“That was just for the last year, she was in Gotham before that and had been seen with the Batman.”

But I honestly love the idea of her having a love-hate relationship with Hal’s son, especially since I’m intending for Hal’s son to be the tech expert of the team, sort of like how Barbara is Oracle for the Batfamily. So like I am imagining her telling him to look up security cameras and he is just sitting there behind his computer like shut the hell up, I know.

Also I honestly don’t think Hal’s son knows much self defense, but he is smart. So like I imagine that a reason he doesn’t like her, he thinks she is over protective of him but she is just wanting to keep her everyone safe, he just gets irritated because he is the only one with no powers or any physical prowess of any kind. So if none of them are around then he is helpless and that is what terrifies her because she knows what it feels like to be helpless and she could never forgive herself if something happened to any of them. Like her dad has contingency plans for the Justice League, she has contingency plans to keep her friends safe.

But anyway I’m getting also Elphaba and Galinda vibes from them-

[fancyfeathers]

OMG can you imagine Hal's reaction when his daughter introduces Kyle Rayner? Like

Imagine when he finally finds her and they reunite and all the bullshit, she goes "Dad, before this, I need to introduce you to someone" and suddenly she pulls Kyle Rayner by the arm, his arm wrapped around her waist. "This is my boyfriend. Kyle, meet my dad, although you already know each other so ops. By the way dad, we can't live without each other. My ring needs him and so does he. If you separate us, I'll never speak to you again 😘"

Burn It All Down Spoilers!!!!!

Kyle talking to other members of the Green Lantern Corp and they ask him if he has a girlfriend and he’s honest about it and then they ask who and there is dead silence in the room because he is dating another Green Lantern’s daughter and that said Green Lantern is so protective over his daughter that he may let Parallax possess him all over again.

Or like would be even funnier is if her ring ran out of power on a mission Kyle was on with her and so other Green Lantern’s just see him pull up with his girlfriend in a hamster ball construct and there is just awkward eye contact with Hal.

It’s honestly giving the stray I found on the street and chances are if I let her go then she’ll die.

Then also just an idea… space cuddles cause they both have lantern rings to protect them. Idk it sounded cuter in my head.

[fancyfeathers]

Burn it Down just got me interested in researching about the Lanterns in the DCU, and I found a fun fact:

"All Blue Lanterns are armed with a blue power ring, fueled by the emotion of hope. While hope is the most powerful of the seven emotions, Blue Lanterns must be near an active Green Lantern's power ring to tap into their own rings' full power. Otherwise, the rings are only capable of the default abilities of flight and a protective aura. This is because the power of hope is nothing without the willpower to enact it."

...so, guess she can't escape her father no matter what

Also imagine the chaos that they're hiding so well from the league, and suddenly Green Lantern is near and Hal's daughter feels a rise of power from the ring, accidentally drawing attention.

Burn It All Down series

Oooo someone caught onto that.

That was actually an intentional choice, but not for the reason you may think. I mean there is the obvious like she is always chained to her past literally and metaphorically.

Spoilers for the series beneath the cut

So I actually made her a blue lantern for that reason but for her to end up with a green lantern, who is that green lantern? Kyle Rayner.

Now I am not going to spoil it too much but just like imagine the two of them not being able to separate from one another. Like this tiktok came up on my fyi, and just the ginger cat is Hal’s daughter and the black cat is Kyle, protecting his lady.

Burn It All Down

(Yandere!Justice League & Yandere!Young Justice)

Based on Yandere!Justice League with their darling!children AU

Previous Chapter <- Chapter Nine, Blue Lantern-> Next Chapter

This chapter is told from the perspective of Hal Jordan’s Daughter!Reader

Each chapter will be the perspective of the reader but as the different children since when I originally had this concept, they were all darling/reader characters.

When you return to Earth for the first time in weeks, your body is still getting used to the Earth’s pull of gravity once again. You had gone to Washington, D.C. since it was the only city similar to yours, besides Coast City, where your father was bringing you along with your brother to the Hall of Justice. But then when you were grabbing something to drink, you encountered another young lady you came to know as Songbird, with whom you had more in common than you would think. So now you were sitting in a back booth in a cafe alongside the two you have come to learn as Songbird, the daughter of Bruce Wayne, and Dreamcatcher, the adopted daughter of J’onn J’onzz.

“Did your brother know where you were?”

“In a way.” You smiled as you answered Songbird’s question, fidgeting with the new ring on your finger, you never quite liked the feeling of rings on your fingers just because you always fidgeted with rings and found them slightly uncomfortable, but now you did not mind. “The ring found me not long after we left Coast City and it just felt right, we both knew what would happen and we were both fine with it so I have been on the planet Odym for the last few weeks.”

“So the ring, it’s blue so how is it different from say the Green Lanterns?”

“The blue lantern rings allow their wearer to become a conduit of pure hope.” You responded to Dreamcatcher’s question, with a look of interest on your new acquaintance’s face. “Green Lanterns are powered by pure willpower, all lantern rings are powered by different emotions. Like red rings are powered by rage and yellow rings are powered by fear… admittedly I don’t know a whole lot about the other lantern corps yet, just the basics.”

“In other words what you eavesdropped on what your dad’s conversations with members of the Justice League and the other Green Lanterns?”

“Yes.”

“You didn’t even hesitate.” You heard Songbird laugh aloud at your answer, she was the type of person you did not expect to have such a light-hearted laugh given how seriously she seemed to carry herself. “Sorry, I just did not expect that answer.”

“It’s okay because I sure as hell know you both have definitely listened in on your own parents’ conversations.” You replied, calling out to both of them, Dreamcatcher looked embarrassed but Songbird did not look even slightly ashamed of her actions. “So now you all are looking for others, just… just let me talk to my brother. He is a little hotheaded and doesn’t trust people easily.”

“Alright, that’s fine,” Songbird replied to your inquiry almost immediately, which you did not quite expect. “Just tell me because I’m curious, why did you two leave home? I looked your records up, both of you had pretty normal lives, acceptances into college, and extracurriculars.”

“...it was tough growing up with a Green Lantern as a dad, he was off-world for so much of our childhood, which is fine, I get it he is helping protect the universe but he was so protective over everything, hell it felt like half of it was spent staying up at the Watchtower while my dad was off the planet. It was hard to explain to my teachers why I was away from class for so long, but my mom was actually a pretty good teacher when we were up there.” You drummed your fingers against the top of the booth’s tabletop as you recalled your memories from your childhood. “But about two months ago, my brother and I… we… we snuck out, there was a party at the end of the senior year and we were coming back home and there was an accident with construction equipment and cement blocks almost fell on us, and my dad wasn’t exactly please to have to save us.”

“Your dad saved you as Green Lantern?”

“Yes, and we also got caught sneaking out and my dad was not happy especially when he found out it wasn’t the first time we left the house without his permission, and then with dealing with things going on in the Green Lantern Corps at the time, I think he got worried that he took his eyes off of us for even a second then we would disappear or something would happen to us, that we would be hurt. We overheard him and our mom fighting about it one night, and he…” You paused in your words, your fingertips stopping their movements and pressing against the booth’s table. “...he said that he thinks it would be for the best if he moved us the Watchtower or… or even bring us to Oa since he could not keep track of us and keep us safe when we were getting older.”

“Oa?” You saw Dreamcatcher’s eyes go wide and a look of recognition came across her face. “That is really far, not to mention a totally different planet.”

“Exactly, so that is why I… why we left home. Neither of us wanted to leave our lives behind, or our friends, so we decided to leave Coast City instead.” 

“And you got a blue lantern ring in the process.”

“Ya… not exactly what I expected to say the least.”

Songbird was kind enough to get one of her friends to help you get to the city across the country since after all San Deigo was awfully far away, well you suppose they were your friend now, they were a magician of sorts, but you suppose they were more of a witch by how you would judge it, but they were nice enough. They allowed you to be on your own as you waited for your brother. You had texted him earlier, asking him to meet you outside the hotel you knew he was at least staying in before you had to leave. There was a fountain outside of the hotel you had been staying at before your departure, so you were sat on the edge of the fountain, waiting for your brother. For some reason you felt a little nervous, your knee bouncing up and down as you waited, your eyes changing from staring at your feet and staring at the front door of the hotel, waiting until you saw your twin brother to walk through the front door of the hotel. However, it was only when you were looking down that you got what you wanted.

“Waiting for me?” Your eyes lit up when you looked up from your feet to see your brother sit down beside you on the fountain, he was never one for hugs, always preferring his personal space to physical affection. “So you’re home? I mean back on earth for good?”

“I don’t think I’ll be back on earth for good anymore.” You replied to your question and you could see some sort of sorrow form behind his eyes, you were quick to pick up on this and smile and continue on speaking to calm his worries. “I mean I am home right now and I will always come back.”

“Does Dad know about this?” He asked you, glancing down at the blue ring that you wore on your finger. “About the ring I mean?”

“God no, he doesn’t even know where I am.”

“You do realize he will find out about this eventually, I mean it is going to be impossible for a Blue Lantern to be active on a planet with more than three Green Lanterns without at least one of them being aware of you.”

“I’m aware… wait why does Earth have so many Green Lanterns?”

“I really wish I could answer that question.” You sighed before standing up from where you were sitting on the fountain where you were sitting. “Anyway, go get your things- well my things too, since I felt those here…”

“Ya… do you want to change your clothes?”

“I really do-”

“H-help!” You were cut off by the sounds of panicked yelling that followed a horribly loud crashing noise, screams, and the voices of bystanders panicking, you looked over your shoulder, and about a few hundred feet from the fountain there was a car on the side of the road, no doubt it was quickly pulled over in a panic if the knocked over stop sign was anything to judge by. The engine was all up in flames, something had clearly gone horribly wrong with the mechanics of the car. You spotted a lady near the car, maybe around her thirties, she was the loudest one shouting out in a clear state of frenzied panic. “My daughter, she’s stuck in the back seat!”

“You really are about to-”

“I think I have to...”

“What were you thinking?!” You were sat in the living room of the penthouse apartment that Songbird provided to you all, you did not know how she came by to acquire a place like this but you did not ask the questions, especially with the circumstances you were now under with her yelling at you like an angry parent would when their child just did something dangerous and you certainly had experience with that sort of thing. “Look I know you are a member of the Blue Lantern Corp now, but you have no idea how much danger you could have put yourself in acting alone.”

“Look I’m sorry-”

“I understand you are sorry and I forgive, but we all have targets on our backs from the Justice Leauge and or anyone who is their enemy and would want to use us in order to get to them, acting alone is a huge danger for any of us no matter how strong you are.” Songbird sighed, bringing a hand up to tug at her hair in her current and stressed-out state. All the others, including your brother, had left the room at Songbird’s request, clearly not wanting to piss off the most experienced one of you all even more than she already was when you told her what you did.”You said you were going to talk to your brother and bring him back here and you did do that and you were not supposed to do anything else. What if your dad sees the footage, if the entire Justice League sees the footage, that puts everyone else in this building at risk of being tossed back into lives that none of us want anymore.”

“I had to help, that little girl could have died!”

“You did not have to activate the ring, I tapped into the street’s camera footage, and the fire was not at the point of reaching the back seat yet, you could have gotten her out without the ring, just have been an anonymous hero. Look I am not mad that you did the right thing, I am mad that you were not smart about how you did it. You need to think about everyone else when you think about what needs to be done and the right way to do it.”

“I… I’m sorry… I understand” You forced your lips to move without crying or breaking down. “I will do better next time.”

“I know you will, but that aside I am proud of you for being brave enough to save that girl.” She patted you on the shoulder, her words washing away any feeling of shame you felt at being scolded for your recklessness, motioning you with her head to stand up and follow her. “C’mon, There is a room for you, you get your own room since everyone else is sharing.”

An emergency Justice League meeting was the last thing anyone needed today, especially given the recent encounter with the team Nightwing led a few nights ago which ended up with Nightwing, Miss Martian, and Superboy losing any semblance of a clue as to where the bunch of their kids could be along with that there was the revelation that Clark Kent’s daughter’s powers finally came in after years of believing that she was just perfectly human like her mother, that explanation gave Clark a near heart attack when Conner had to break the news to him.

There were quite a few empty chairs in the Watchtower’s conference room, only Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Martian Manhunter, Black Canary, Green Arrow, Zatanna, the Flash, and one of the Green Lanterns. 

“So why are we here?” Oliver Queen was the first one to question why they were called here at random. “We already know the team is-”

“Nightwing had looked into security camera footage in San Deigo to see if any of them were still in the city and while none of the children who were at the house were still in the city, there was something else.” The members of the Justice League that were present all looked up to the center of the conference room as the hologram projector powers on, creating a three-dimensional model of the security camera footage that the Batman was referring to that Nightwing found. “This was taken a few days ago, it has not gotten out to the press yet but there are whispers of rumors in that city.”

They all watched as the hologram security camera footage as it began to play, it was a few hundred feet from one of the city’s hotels. A car crashed into a stop sign as the vehicle’s engine began to smoke, the woman in the front seat barely had time to get out before the engine erupted into flames. The hologram did not have any form of audio but it was clear that she was shouting for help, along with other people screaming around her. It took a few moments of pure panic before someone came running or rather flying to the scene, using a glowing blue construct that was more like a shapeless blob than anything to open the car door and pick up the small child in the back child who almost immediately ran to her mother.

“A Blue Lantern.” Black Canary spoke up, glancing over to the Green Lantern present, it was Hal Jordan and he was intently staring up at the hologram. “I remember John telling me about the different corps, they are limited without a Green Lantern present… Hal, are you alright-”

“That’s… that’s my daughter…”
