I need ship ideas for the twins. Just assume everyone is available and bi.

(Also, I'm rewatching YJ S1 for this and did anyone else notice that when the original trio are trying to convince Roy to join Wally says 'Wait until you see Superboy and Miss Martian, but I say them first'? Bisexual, me thinks.)

While Robin, Aqualad, and Kid Flash were off trying to convince Speedy to join the new team, Superboy, Miss Martian, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch were getting settled in the mountain. They were picking out rooms, as none of them had anywhere else to live. Miss Martian and Scarlet Witch chose rooms next to each other, while Quicksilver chose the room across from his sister. Superboy chose the room at the end of the hall.

Quicksilver walked into his sister's room, sitting down on her bed. "Sister, what are we doing here?"

"What do you mean? We are living here."

"You know exactly what I mean. We are no heroes. We do not have training."

"Black Canary will train us. We are safe here, 'tro. Out on the streets...they can get us. Here, the Justice League protects us."

"As long as we serve them." He spat out.

"Why are you so against us being here?" She faced her brother. "They saved us, the least we can do is help them."

"I don't like owing anyone a debt."

"Then let us settle our debt by helping them."

The two siblings stared at one another before nodding silently, Quicksilver exiting the room to retire for the evening.

Mount Justice

Recognize Robin B01

Recognize Kid Flash B03

Kid Flash and Robin came running into the main part of the mountain where the rest of the team was standing before the holographic computer, staring at a map.

"Did you ask him?" Robin inquired eagerly.

"What did he say?" Kid Flash added, bouncing on his toes.

"He's arriving now." Aqualad smiled at their enthusiasm.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Kid Flash ran towards one of the mountain exits, the rest of the team in tow. A giant door collapsed inward to create a ramp, allowing the seven teens to run up it. The stood at the edge of the ramp, watching as Red Tornado flew in from above. Kid Flash waved. "Red Tornado!"

"Greetings. Is there a reason you intercept me outside the cave?" Red Tornado's voice was robotic and monotone as he stared at the six teens.

"We hoped you had a mission for us." Aqualad explained.

"Mission assignments are the Batman's responsibility."

"But its been over a week." Robin complained.

"You'll be tested soon enough. For the time being, simply enjoy each other's company." Red Tornado raised a hand to calm Robin.

"This team is not a social club." Aqualad glared at the android. The rest of the teens nodded.

"No. But I am told social interaction is an important team building exercise." Red Tornado began to walk past them. "Perhaps you can keep busy by familiarizing yourselves with the cave."

"Keep busy." Kid Flash punched Robin's shoulder.

"Does he think we're falling for this?"

"Ooh I'll find out." Miss Martian turned to look at the Justice Leaguer as he walked into the mountain, trying to get a mental read on him. "I-I'm sorry, I forgot, he's a machine. Inorganic. I cannot read his mind."
