Young Injustice *on hold*

Den Mother

Bully

"Stop!" Elizabeth yelled, and I did. I froze and my breathing stopped I couldn't look around, I just sat there, frozen.

I heard heels in on the floor coming closer. Juliet gasped. "Aunty Ivy!" I wasn't able to look at the new comer, I felt my heart slow from lack of oxygen.

"Hey Sprout... Uh, who is that?" I'd bet she was talking about me, Juliet tried to get up I couldn't release her.

"This is my Boyfriend, his name is Asher but we call each other Romeo and Juliet, ain't that just the cutest?" she smiled at me. "He's currently suffocating while breaking my arm, Empress, if you would be so kind?"

I heard a sigh from the girl in question and my vision started to go black. "Fine, move, let her go, and breathe, Asher." I blinked, breathed and my hand moved away from Juliet's skin.

I coughed and caught my breath while looking at the new girl. Poison Ivy. Did she have a kid too? Juliet leaped up and went to hug the green lady. She found it hard because of her arm, she looked at it and laughed at the dark blue- almost black- handprint bruise that marked the pale skin on her bicep

"Oh Sprout," Ivy looked at her arm and then to me then back at the girl in front of her. "Joker didn't say anything about bringing another kid...?"

"Oh, daddy doesn't know about him." she shook her head.

"Well then I don't think he should be-"

"Oh can he please stay, Ivy? He'd be a good asset to the team!" she waltzed back over to me and helped me stand. She lifted my ripped, bloodied shirt. "I've stabbed him like five times today and look, all healed" she ran her fingers over my stomach. "Ooo, abs, me likey." she pulled my shirt back down and pushed me away, then went back over to Ivy. "He's... He's the evil clone of Superman! And his only dream is to see the young justice league fall!" She said her story in a generic announcers voice.

Ivy raised an eyebrow at me. "So you're the one who broke the elevator door? You can stay, but you'll be fixing that."

"What?!" Little Chilled shouted at Juliet. "You can't be serious, he almost broke your arm!"

"Oh, that's just how we show our love, I stabbed him first, anyway, I always wanted a broken bone." she smiled.

"Well I don't think he should stay." he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Don't I get a say in this?" I asked.

"No!" they all yelled at me.

I put my hands up. "Okay."

Elizabeth stepped up. "I'm with Griffin on this."

"Okay, that's two nays and two YAYS." she smiled, emphasizing the last word. "Where's that other guy?" we all looked around, and to the right, was the Riddlers kid, drinking from a black mug at a long conference table. "Should he stay or should he go?" she asked him.

He shrugged. "He stays." he brushed it off and went back to his hot drink.

"Yay!" she shouted and ran over to me, wrapping her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist. "You get to stay, Romi!" she kissed me on the lips just like when we first met. "I hope you like herpes." She whispered in my ear and I pushed her off of me in disgust.

"Alright, everyone take a seat now." Ivy said, suddenly getting serious, when we didn't move she glared at us. Juliet was the first to take a seat at the table -excluding the riddle kid- she pulled me along and sat me next to her. Chilly pulled out the chair for Elizabeth and pushed it in for her too and took the seat next to her, across from us. Ivy took a seat at the opposite end of the table from Riddler's runt. "As you might've guessed, I am going to be your overseer on this operation. That doesn't mean I'm here to babysit you. I'm here to be your line to your parents and vice versa, give you pointers on how to complete your goal, and keep your goal drilled in your head.

"Young Justice nor the Justice League can realize our involvement on this project. For all they know you all are just fans of the real deal. Ace. Quizzler. Icing." when she said the names she made eye contact with the person mentioned. "Or maybe something they haven't seen before. Empress." we all looked at her. "Or maybe an archenemy of one of their own." everybody looked at me.

"This is a team. You will work together like one. You can hate one another, but don't let that get in the way of your goal. Hailey Quinzel, fifteen, daughter of Joker and Harley Quinn. I have known you most your life. Smart, but impulsive, your senses are so acute, though, you are one with your surroundings, and little to nothing can slip past you without you noticing it. Your judgement, however is an area that needs a little improvement."

Juliet smiled and blushed. "Oh, Aunty."

Ivy turned to Chilly. "Griffin Berg, sixteen, daddy issues, major daddy issues. Son of Captain Cold and Rebecca Berg. Sensitive, intellectual, but not willing to go the extra mile. Observes, but doesn't act."

Chilly looked uncomfortable but eventually put on his poker face. "Yeah, I guess." he brushed it off.

"Elizabeth Cobblepot. Fifteen. Orphaned as a child. But adopted by Penguin. You have power in your words but you have barely scratched the surface of what you are capable of. Inexperienced, but full of potential."

Elizabeth held her head high and never faltered.

"Asher. Clone of Superman. Definitely acts with rage. Strong but you don't know when to quit. Anger pushes you, emptiness fills you, and darkness defines you. But you still search for light."

"You got all that in ten minutes?"I asked skeptically.

She smirked. "I have my ways." she said and I felt something slither down the back of my neck.

I cringed. "Please tell me there wasn't a plant in my brain just now."

"There wasn't a plant inside your brain right now." she shrugged. "Now," her eyes turned to the riddle runt, a grin on her face. "Jacobo Nygma, fourteen. Orphaned and adopted by his uncle, the Riddler. The youngest, but undoubtedly the most experienced. Gifted interrogator and executioner he knows what decisions to make, and when."

"And you say this all, why?" I asked her.

"Now you each know each others strengths, weaknesses, and identities. Its up to you all to choose who plays what role, like the leader." she smirked.

"Raise your hand if you want to be the leader!" Juliet said grinning. I looked around the table and the only one with their hand up was the Riddler Runt. "Then its settled. Quizzler is the leader. Objections?" she asked and everyone around the table was quiet.

"Well," Ivy said losing her business exterior. "I'm gonna go home and check on my house plants, you guys can find your way around the place. Don't destroy anything while I'm gone." she she pointedly looked at me then she walked toward the elevator, got in, and that was the last we saw of her.
