Baby Justice

Chapter 1: Mission

It was a usual day for the team, Megan and Conner were being romantic in the kitchen, Dick flirted with Zatanna, the two most mature members of the team Kaldur and Roy were having a simple conversation, and as usual Wally and Artemis were going at each other.

"Wally will you stop with your habit of eating all the food we have here constantly ?" Artemis complained quite irritated.

"What can I say I've got a fast metabolism I can't help it." Wally responded nonchalantly.

"That doesn't mean you get to eat everything in the kitchen Baywatch!" Artemis reprimanded.

From there the two continued to argue and squabble for a few minutes until they were interrupted by the loudspeaker.

"Team please get suited up and report to the globe." Batman announced to the adolescent squad.

Immediately everyone rushed to their rooms and got their gear on then quickly rushed over to the globe, where Batman was standing.

"There have been reports of supernatural activity in Washington DC and based on the reports I suspect it is probably the work of Klarion. So you need to approach this situation with extreme caution, for as we all know he is very unpredictable and dangerous." Batman said in his usual stoic tone.

"What exactly is Klarion trying to get in DC?" Robin asked his mentor curiously.

"Based on what we know, the League believes that he is after an ancient magical artifact called the crystal of life." Batman explained simply.

"But that's an artifact meant to give and restore life why would he need that? Klarion is an immortal and not even an actual physical being." Zatanna then asked, confused by the plans of the witch boy.

"It is most likely because he is retrieving it for The Light and their own sinister purposes, but we are not completely sure. Now move out and retrieve the crystal quickly, it can't fall into the wrong hands."

"Yes sir." The team responds as one.

With that the team went to the bioship and flew off to DC to stop Klarion. Within two hours they arrived on the scene hiding the ship in a grove of trees in the park by The Lincoln memorial. Once they were parked they excited and shifted into their stealth uniforms as to not be noticed if Klarion was present.

"Setting up the link." M'Gann telepathically told everyone.

"I'm in."

"Connect."

"Copy."

"I'm in."

"Got it."

"Listening."

"I'm in gorgeous." Kid flash flirted.

"Hands off!" Conner responded angrily.

"Nice work baywatch real classy." Artemis cringed irritated by the flirtatious and desperate speedster.

However ignoring kids comment everyone moved on to and focused on the task at hand. They first headed to the World War Two monument since all the reports seemed to indicate Klarion was over there. Once there they quickly spotted the witch boy and stayed hidden behind columns and walls. Patiently they watched the strange boy go up to the grand fountain in the middle and stop in his tracks.

"What's he doing?" Robin asked.

"I don't know I don't sense any other magic here besides Klarion so we'll just have to see." Zatanna answered.

"Then we will simply observe, but do not engage." Aqualad commanded.

Klarion chuckled wickedly as he stood before the fountain.

"So the lords of order thought they could keep the crystal of life from me by hiding it in some old fountain. Ha how perfectly foolish they were, weren't they Teekl?" Klarion asked in his usual creepy tone.

Teekl simply meowed in response watching his master to see what he would do.

"Laever otnu ot em tahw I kees." Klarion recited mischievously.

It was then the water in the fountain started to bubble and split to reveal a glowing purple rift in the middle of it. Klarions wicked smile then grew wider as his hands started to glow scarlet red. Suddenly two giant cat like claws of red energy appeared from his hands and dove into the rift.

"Now let's see what's hidden here." Klarion said with glowing eyes and an even wider mischievous smile.

The team all watched closely as the witch boy dug through, each of them in awe of the sorcery. Except Kid Flash, who didn't believe in magic even when it was right in front of him. Eventually Klarion started to pull the arms back until a bright purple light shined through. As he raised the hands they revealed a purple hexagon shaped stone that simply mesmerized the team.

"You can come out now I've known you were here the entire time I just like to give my enemies a false sense of confidence." Klarion said cockily with a chuckle.

With that the team snapped out of it and immediately started to attack the lord of chaos. First Superboy rushed at Klarion to punch him but was stopped by a magic shield surrounding him. Then Miss Martian let out a psychic blast at him but with the wave of Klarion's hand was sent flying back. Hoping to lift him off the ground Kid ran around Klarion to create a small whirling tornado.

"Pfff a little wind can't knock me down, dnuorg brosba mih." Klarion chuckled.

Kid was then stopped dead in his tracks as the ground swallowed him up to his knees. He was luckily stopped in a good amount of time so his knees didn't snap like toothpicks from the sudden stop. As this happened Aqualad then rushed at Klario, his water bearers changed into water hammers which he then charged with electricity. He immediately began to pound at the shield, actually able to weaken it a bit thanks to his natural Atlantean magic abilities.

"Grrrrrr stupid atlantean magic always so pesky but I'm afraid not pesky enough." Klarion murmured as his eyes flew red.

Klarion was then about to cast a spell when thanks to the weakened shield Artemis and Red Arrow shot arrows through the shield that filled it with foam. As he seemed distracted Robin threw explosive birdarangs that made the whole thing blow up like a powder keg.

"Ha take that witch boy!" Artemis said gleefully.

Once the smoke cleared it revealed Klarion still standing there without even a scratch. He then smiled wickedly and shot red lightning at the three.

"I still can't believe that you all think you can take on a lord of chaos it's positively hilarious." Klarion mocked.

It's then out of nowhere Zatanna attempted to cast a spell on Klarions cat Teekl.

"Gnintghil ekirts!" Zatanna cries out.

A bolt of lightning then came down on the cat but was deflected by yet another magic shield set around him.

"Teekl!" Klarion yelled as he ran to his precious cat.

"How can you do that to some poor kitty you'll for that you and your stupid baby magic!" Klarion said angrily as he held his precious cat, stroking its head for comfort.

However that's when Klarion had a brilliant idea on how to make his enemies pay for attempting to hurt his tie to the physical plane. He brought the crystal of life in front of it and it then started to get brighter.

"Kcolc nrut kcab nopu eseht shtuoy kcab ot a emit fo ecneconni dna ssenkaew!" Klarion casted his eyes glowing purple instead of red.

"What's going on!?" Miss Martian asked as the wind picked up.

"He's casting a spell using the crystal! Everyone take cover, we don't..." Zatanna tried to warn but it was too late.

The great purple light grew and grew until it then engulfed everyone. The whole team eventually blacked out and fell onto the floor the spell now taken into effect and casted.

"Nighty night little ones." Klarion chuckled evilly as he teleported away leaving the team to wake up to quite the surprise.
