This week, most Swedish school children finish school to go on their summer break. The last day of school is usually celebrated together with your classmates and families showing up to attend the end of schoolyear celebrations, skolavslutning. Traditionally, the children perform some summer songs, mixed in with speeches from headmasters and handing out of grades and saying goodbye to the students leaving for higher education. Skolavslutning has traditionally been celebrated in churches in Sweden, and over 50 % of schools still report having them in churches. Any overtly christian rituals are no longer condoned, however.

Some traditions linger, though, such as singing a few hymns from the Swedish hymnal. Some of these are by now so associated with skolavslutning that they have lost a bit of their religious impression. The far most popular and common of these is Den blomstertid nu kommer (Now the time of blossoming arrives). It was first printed in 1693, and the melody is probably an even older folk melody.

The lyrics welcome summer, with the rebirth of grass and flowers. God is not mentioned until the end of the second verse. In Swedish school, only the two first verses are usually sung.

Thats not Fair!?

So! Danny is a Member of the JLA. He is a Millenia Old Ghost who is stuck looking the same as the day he died, so he never aged over all those Centuries. While the JLA is slightly uncomfortable at him being on the Team, they know his circumstances and try to ignore his appearance. He can't control it, its not his Fault.

Or at least, that's what he tells them.

Danny is in fact, a 15 Yr Old Kid, who used his experience as a Time Traveler to trick the JLA into letting him join the Adult Team. He is actually doing a good job in tricking them!

Then, in a complete accident, he runs into Jazz while talking to a few fellow Leaguers.

She showers him in older sister love, hugging him and giving him Nuggies, and when a Leaguer asks how old she is she says "Oh I'm 17, 2 whole years older than this little scamp!"

So there goes that lie.

Fortunately, the League decides to let Danny stay on the Adult Team.

Unfortunately, Young Justice learned about his admittance to the Adult Team and kind of lost it.

"What?! Why is HE allowed on the Adult Team!? He's only been a Hero for a Year! We've all been Heroes for so much longer!?! And for that matter why is Shazam still on the Team!? Is that the new Rule? If you can trick us into letting you in the Team you can stay? Cause we can do that! We can sneak our way in too!"

Basically I want to imagine YJ's reaction to 2 Child Heroes on the Adult Team when they are stuck on the "Baby Team"

I think it would be funny.
