This fanfic takes place early into the series of Young Justice but before any of the events of Ultimate Spiderman. Other characters from both series may come into play much later as will characters from outside both series. I also plan to reference different costumes for Spiderman later on. I'll leave the rating as T for now but I may raise it later on. I hope you will enjoy this and I'd greatly appreciate any feedback you may have. I also apologize for this chapter being so long.

Chapter 1

New York city! The greatest place to be alive. Except for the fact that Jameson has painted me out to be public enemy number 1. Why me? Well because I'm … "That menace Spiderman…" as Jameson would always say. Personally I'm just your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman. I had been doing this shtick for a while now and I was gaining more and more popularity although things didn't always go my way and when they didn't Jameson was always the first one to pick up on it. He'd never ever let my downfalls go unnoticed. He'd also find a way to paint my accomplishments as bad things too. There was no winning with that man. But didn't matter. I wasn't doing this for the fame or recognition. I was doing this because it was right. I was doing this to honour my uncle Ben.

"Breaking news! A robbery has been reported near the bank on West Street! We are asking civilians to be safe and careful in the area while the police try to contain the situation." The person on the news stated. That wasn't too far from where I was right now. I could make it there in just a few minutes. Might as well make a guest appearance and surprise these people.

Off I went, swinging from building to building, slingshotting myself across New York's scenery. Just as I wanted I was at my destination. I snuck into the building through the upstairs floor through an open window where the alleged robbery was taking place. Three guys with guns were on this floor. This was bad. If there were this many up here there would most likely be even more downstairs. This means I had to be quiet and stealthy which wasn't a problem. I crawled along the roof above them as they made their rounds.

"Man I can't believe how easy this is going. It's almost like they're giving us their money." One of the hooligans said laughing to himself.

"I know man." Another one said. These men needed to be taught a lesson. I hung upside down from the roof, using my web to lower myself down to one of the unsuspecting men. I quickly grabbed him and cocooned him in web. I jumped down to a spot between the other two.

"Hey Dave did you lock the window like we asked you to?" The first criminal asked but guessing by the silence I figured Dave was the one I just dealt with. "Dave, did you hear me!?" The man shouted again.

"Sorry gentlemen," I began, alerting the two men to my location "Dave is preoccupied". As soon as they turned to me I shot webs at both of them, grabbing their guns and yanking them out of their hands and onto the floor. I quickly followed up by shooting web to cover their mouths. I also shot another line of web at their legs and pulled them off balance and caused them to fall to the floor. I pulled them in closer by the web and cocooned them also. "That's good. Now just to deal with the ones downstairs."

I crawled along the roof down to the lower floor to see most of the other criminals on the floor unconscious. What the hell happened here? Who did this? I fell down from the roof by the bank teller who was still cowering behind the counter. "Hey, what happened? Are you ok?" I asked the fearful young lady. "Hey…Hey!" I said nudging the girl slightly trying to calm her down. She blinked frantically at me as if to reassess the situation.

"I-I-I-I…" She stuttered over and over. She was definitely in shock. She wasn't going to be helpful but I needed to help her and the others. By my count there were only four of them down here left. They seemed to be panicking a little.

"I don't know boss. We should just give up!" One of the remaining criminals said, fear evident in his voice.

"Shit! Just keep calm. Maybe we can beat them." The next one, I'm assuming the leader, said.

"Boss come on let's just surrender." I heard a different one say.

"No way. We can't not now. We still have Dave and the others upstairs! We can handle this if we just- AHHHHHHH" followed by a thud, the first man spoke. Followed by another thud.

"No no no no no no please no!" I heard coming from the one I thought was the leader. I peeked over the counter to see the last man flying to the wall.

"Whoaaaa! What was that?" I asked as I stood up. I saw a few others standing there. I recognised them. Well… a few of them. The guy in the Yellow outfit with the thunderbolt on his chest was often seen around Central City from time to time, the one in the red shirt with the 'R' on the chest and the staff was often spotted in Gotham and the one in the black shirt with the 'S' on it was…. Charging right at me! My Spidey senses were going haywire. I wasn't sure what was going on.

"Superboy Wait!" I heard the one with the staff saying as they noticed the other one was charging right for me.

"Superman?" I asked. Dumb move Peter. Really dumb move. I should have taken the time to try and dodge. He punched me square in the face…and that was the last thing I remembered.

….

Ugh! My head. What the hell was that!? My head was spinning and damn did my face hurt. I blinked hazily …which was weird. My eyes were still glassy and my vision very blurry but that's not why it was weird. Why was it weird? Ugh I can't focus. My head was killing me. I reached up to rub my head. Wait, I'm still in my suit… but where's my mask!? That's what was weird. Where was my mask?

"Oh he's awake now." I heard someone say. My vision was still blurry so I couldn't quite see who it was at the time. I figured they had my mask and already saw my face so I fought off my natural urge to cover my face with my hands. "Wakey wakey sleepy head." The voice said again.

"What are you doing? Put back on your mask." I heard a different voice say.

"Oww my head. I think I have a concussion." I groaned. Normally my healing factor would make me feel better by now but I guess it was a pretty hard hit… whatever it was. My eyes began clearing up a bit. I saw a few people surrounding me. The guy with the thunderbolt on his chest, the Flash dude, was standing over me without his mask. He must have been the one who took his mask off.

"Well you were unconscious for a while there." He said.

"Who are you?" I mumbled, still in some pain. "Where am I?" I asked noticing I wasn't where I was before. I was in a medical room of some sort. "How long have I been out?"

"Well…" The yellow guy began but was cut off by the Gotham kid

"Hey, Kid Flash stop." He said walking over to me. "Who we are isn't important as for where you are, you're in our ship's hold. And don't worry you've only been out for about 5 minutes, give or take."

5 minutes geez. My head. I glanced over at each of the people here. 3 teens about my age. "Hey, I know you guys. I've seen you on the news a few times." I said, my mind finally coming back together. "You're Batman's sidekick, Robin right?" I asked. "Kid Flash," I said looking over at the one who wasn't wearing his mask. "And you are…" I said looking at the one in the black shirt with the 'S' "Superman?" I asked. I don't recall seeing him before. "You…are…. Wait. You're the one who knocked me out!" I yelled as I hopped out of the medical bed.

"Not Superman, Superboy." The punk who knocked me out said. "And… sorry about that. I got a little caught up in the moment and didn't realise that you weren't with them." He said giving a fake apologetic smile.

"Dude you still knocked me out." I said. "And where the hell is my mask?" I finally asked

"Here. Sorry we took it off of you without you knowing." Kid Flash said to me as he pointed out that my mask was on the table that was beside my bed. "I've heard a lot about you though. Spiderman, you've done a lot to help the people in New York. You're a pretty decent guy." Wow a famous Superhero just gave me praise… well… a guy who works with a famous superhero. This was awesome.

"Hey you guys have all done good in your respective areas. I'm just doing my part." I humbly said with a smile. "And since you guys already know what I look like, I'm guessing you either already found out my real name or you will soon." I said as the thought just crossed my mind.

"Yeah we're running system checks on you right now." Robin said.

"Well since you're going to find out anyway, my name is Peter Parker, or as you guys know you're your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman." I said with my charming Parker smile.

"Well as you know. I'm Kid Flash but Robin here and our leader in the front have made me promise not to tell you my real name right now. Sorry Pete." Kid Flash said as he walked toward the doorway. "We'll talk more later." He said as both he and Superboy walked out of the room leaving me alone with Robin.

"So we have a proposition for you." Robin said as soon as the door behind them had closed. "Given your track record we think you should join our team."

"Are you kidding?" I asked him, raising my eyebrow and crossing my arms. "Join up with the guys who not too long ago knocked me out for no reason?"

Robin chuckled as he said, "First off that was Superboy, not all of us. Secondly part of our mission in New York was to recruit you anyway". Robin said offering me his hand.

"Recruit me? For what?" I asked. Join what?

"Our team, as a smaller part of the Justice League." Robin said, with a straight face too.

I couldn't help but laughing. "As in a young Justice League?" I asked as I laughed. Robin cracked a smile at my dumb joke. "I dunno, who's gonna look out for New York? That's where I belong." I said slightly concerned. If I left New York they'd be a wreck in weeks.

"No worries, we made it to New York pretty quickly, if anything happens there we could always get back to help out plus we have the Boom Tubes, we could teleport you to and from New York anytime but think about it. With us you will be helping people all over the world, not just New York. It's part of your responsibility to use your powers for good." Robin said, almost too quickly and practiced. I guess they really were coming to recruit me. They knew exactly what to say to get me on their side. It's my responsibility… just like uncle Ben said. With great power comes great responsibility. Maybe it was time I did more than just protect New York. Maybe it was time I moved forward.

"So long as I don't get knocked out again. I'll be glad to help you out." I said with a smile and a newfound determination. This was going to be a good thing.

"Well if you do, probably won't be by one of us." He said as I reached out and grabbed his hand and shook it. Team Young Justice though… I wonder what kind of team this was. I've never been on a team like this before so I wasn't sure how this would work.

"Well that's great. We're almost back at the base anyway. You'll be able to get settled in and meet the rest of the team once we get there." Robin said. The rest of the team? Who else was there? Kid Flash, Robin, Superboy and Spiderman and… others. Wow this was getting pretty big pretty fast. Maybe I was just getting overwhelmed.

…..

A few minutes later the Bio Ship, as I was informed it to be called, landed in some kind of hangar. Robin and the others escorted me out. Their base was pretty sweet. It was pretty spacious and large and mostly empty. I was fine with this. If their base was this empty, I figured their team was really fresh and new. They showed me around the base and most of the rooms were empty. Robin explained that they didn't all live here but that was an option. Which sounded great but I didn't want to leave Aunt May alone. I'll just have to commute like most people do.

"And this is my trophy room." Kid Flash's words brought me back to the tour. He said this as we came to a room with a few items occupying the mostly empty shelves. The room was unimpressive at the moment but it had potential.

As the tour neared its conclusion I came to a room with a few people in it. "And to answer your unanswered question this is the rest of the team." Robin said before I could ask anything. There was a blonde girl and a redhead… green girl? Wow I do have a concussion.

"Hey there!" The green girl chirped as she…flew…. So she's green and can fly. This was very weird. This day was getting weirder and weirder. First I get knocked out by a superman look alike, then I'm recruited into some mini Justice League, now a green flying girl…. Oh boy. "My name's Miss Martian, well, that's my hero name. My real name is Meghan. What's your name?" She said flying towards me.

"Uh I'm… Spiderman, but the real name is Peter Parker. It's nice to meet you?" I said still trying to process the fact that she was flying. Wait Martian? That would explain the green and flying thing… I guess?

"I'm Artemis. Real name isn't necessary." The blonde one said rather coldly as she sat in the couch sharpening her arrows.

"Judging by the name and the arrows I'm guessing you're an archer of some kind." I said in a slightly sarcastic voice.

"Judging by your tacky outfit and even tackier name I'm guessing you don't want to mess with me." Her words cold and harsh. I mean come on… tacky? Me? No way…. Right?

"Artemis stop it." A new voice called out from somewhere I wasn't seeing. I turned to find someone coming from where we were just coming from. A rather strong looking fellow. "Hello there Spiderman. I am Aqualad. I am the leader of this team. I was the one piloting the ship while Robin kept you company." He said calmly and coolly.

"Wait you're the leader? I thought Robin was." I said confused. Robin seemed like he was leading the others back at the bank heist.

"Nah. We dealt with that already. I'd have loved to be the leader but Aqualad is a much better leader than I am." Robin said smiling over to Aqualad. Ok then.

So going over the members of the team real-quick. There was Robin, who seemed like a pretty cool guy. Smart and collective but also kind of secretive. Then there was Kid Flash. I liked him. He was kind and he turned out to be a bit of a jokester too. He was kind of cautious about things. Aqualad, our leader was mostly quiet and reserved. He didn't strike me any way but I did see him as the leader. Miss Martian who was very happy and kind. Later I also found out she really is a martian and in addition to being green and flying she had telekinetic abilities which is pretty freaking awesome. Then there were the two who had a problem with me I guess. Artemis and Superboy. One looked like she'd kill me if she could and the other had already knocked me out cold. They both emitted a cold air about them that was kind of scary. All of this was a lot to take in. I'd have to find a way to get accustomed to all of this.
