Moonlit Hero - Young Justice Fanfiction.

Chapter 3: No competition

Throughout the school day at Gotham Academy, CJ and Artemis navigated the challenges of blending in as students while maintaining their roles as heroes. They found themselves in a mix of academic lectures, curious glances, and occasional whispers about Moonlit's mysterious persona.

As the final bell rang, signaling the end of their first day, CJ and Artemis gathered their belongings and headed toward the exit. CJ, still adjusting to the school environment, remarked, "Well, that wasn't too bad. We survived the first day without any major villain encounters."

Artemis chuckled, "Speak for yourself. I had to endure an army of giggling fans. Popular life, right?"

As they made their way out of the school, the scene shifted to Superboy and Miss Martian embarking on their own first day at a different school. The bustling halls of Happy Harbor High School welcomed them, and they faced the challenges of fitting in while concealing their extraterrestrial origins.

Superboy, with his trademark leather jacket, exuded an air of aloofness as he strolled through the crowded hallways. Miss Martian, using her shapeshifting abilities to adopt a human appearance, observed the diverse array of students.

In their first class, Superboy found himself unintentionally drawing attention due to his striking presence. The students couldn't help but glance at the mysterious newcomer, whispering among themselves. Miss Martian, adopting a friendly demeanor, tried to ease the tension by striking up conversations and introducing herself as "Megan."

As the day progressed, Superboy's stoic exterior softened slightly, especially when Miss Martian nudged him to participate in class discussions. Despite the initial challenges, they began to navigate the complexities of high school life together, forging their own path within the student body.

Back at Gotham Academy, CJ and Artemis shared stories of their day with the rest of the Young Justice team. Laughter echoed through the mountain base as each member recounted their experiences, blending the extraordinary with the ordinary.

The weekend had started like any other. In the heart of the training room, CJ walked in to find the Young Justice team gathered around, eyes fixed on Aqualad as he showcased his strength lifting magnetic weights. With each repetition, the load increased by one ton, and Aqualad managed an impressive six reps, reaching a total of 12000 pounds.

Superboy, always eager to outdo the competition, stepped up next. Determination etched on his face, he completed an astounding 77 reps, the weights totaling a staggering 154,000 pounds. Miss Martian, with a sly smile, followed suit, her strength on full display as she effortlessly completed 100 reps, reaching an impressive 200,000 pounds.

The competitive spirit in the room escalated, and it was evident that Superboy was growing increasingly irritated. Artemis, sensing the tension, decided to stir the pot by goading CJ into trying. CJ, initially hesitant, tried to decline, but Superboy interjected, claiming there was no reason for him to bother since he could never match up to the likes of him or Miss Martian. The challenge was set, and CJ, with a shrug and a determined glint in his eye, accepted.

As he positioned himself on the bench, the magnetic weights began to increase with each repetition. To the surprise of everyone in the room, CJ exhibited remarkable strength. With unwavering focus, he completed 180 reps, the weights totaling an impressive 360,000 pounds. The training room fell into a stunned silence, broken only by the clatter of weights as CJ caught his breath.

Superboy, his confident facade shattered, walked away without uttering a word. CJ, still catching his breath, exchanged glances with Artemis, who wore a playful grin. "Looks like Moonlit here has been holding back on us," she remarked.
