Authors Note: This was originally going to be a Devil May Cry/Young Justice crossover. But while trying to plan out a story I started trying get the last trophies in inFamous, which I did by the way =), and this story kind of spawned from that. I will do the DMC/YJ crossover but I wanted to do this first, while I was in the mood. so with out further ado here we go.
Chapter 1: Quarantine's End
It was the day that no one had thought that would come, the end of the quarantine of Empire City. After 2 months the government slowly dropped the fences and patrol boats. They even let the Justice League come in, which was crazy considering that they wouldn't even let them come anywhere near the city just a couple of months ago. With the League's help the city slowly started to go back to normal, though the gangs that had come into power since the quarantine weren't about to give up without a fight. The Reapers and the Dust Men had even teamed up in an effort to hold off the Justice League. But the League had no trouble dealing with the gang members, not even the super-powered ones. But one day Batman, The Flash, and Black Canary were helping the police in the Warren district handle a pair of telekinetic Dust Men that had made large golems from scrap metal.
"This isn't looking to good!" The Flash yelled as one of the creatures shot pieces of itself like a Gatling gun at the heroes. Batman circled around and threw explosive batarangs at the beasts. Black Canary used her sonic scream to little effect
"We need to regroup." Batman ordered as he dodged one of the creatures attacks. But before the heroes knew what happened several bolts of electricity hit the Golem's. The heroes looked up and saw a boy on a power line. The boy shot a few more bolts, then jumped from his position. He had a buzz cut, wore a yellow and black bike jacket, black pants, yellow and black sneakers, fingerless gloves, and a backpack with what looked like a double headed lightning rod hanging from it.
"You guys never learn do you?" The boy spoke. His voice sounded gravelly and hoarse, though it didn't seem to cause him pain. He threw balls of electricity at the golems that stuck to them and after a few seconds exploded. He then fired several large blasts of electrical energy that hit the golem like rockets. One went down but the other was still standing. The boy quickly climbed a street light and jumped onto the golems back and drew the rod from his backpack. He jammed the rod into the golems armor and charged it until it crumbled. The boy hitched the rod back onto his pack and dusted himself off. He walked over to the dazed gang member and lifted him up.
"Look you moron, I already beat Alden, the quarantine is over, and pretty soon the Dust Men and the Reapers are gonna be nothing but a bad memory, so what was the point of this little display?" The boy asked as his grip tightened on the telekinetic's shirt. The Dust Man then started laughing. The electric boy gave a confused look before the Trash Bagger started to speak,
"What was the point of all this? Why Cole I'm suprised that you didn't figure it out. It was to get you out in the open MacGrath!" the masked man shouted as he blasted Cole away with great telekinetic force. Flash caught him before he hit a wall. Cole looked at him and only said "Thanks" as he turned back to his attacker.
"You may have beaten Alden, but my power is even greater! In fact I should thank you. You saved me the trouble of getting rid of him myself!" The man with the garbage bag mask yelled. He yanked the mask off his face to reveal a balding middle aged man.
"I AM ANDERSON AND I WILL RULE THIS CITY!" The mad man yelled as he used his powers to create a giant scorpion creature made of scrap metal. Its claws lunged at Cole who dodged and shot several bolts at the beast, while Batman threw explosives at the creature and Black Canary screamed at it. Flash spun his arms in a circle and blew the thing of balance. But this was not enough, as Anderson grabbed Cole and forced him into the mouth of his creation. Anderson, so sure that he had won, began cackling. The Justice Leaguers looked in shock as they thought that was the end of the boy. But Cole wan't so easily beaten. Suddenly black clouds started to form over them. Street lights and everything else that ran on electricity began to fail. Then a large blast of lightning came down and struck Anderson and his creation. After the smoke cleared the street was covered in scrap metal, and there lay Anderson alive but unconscious. The heroes looked around for Cole and found him under a the wreckage of a car, scarred and bloody. Surprisingly he was still conscious, though barely. Black Canary looked him over,
"Don't worry kid you're gonna be..." was all Cole heard before blacking out.
A week later Cole woke up in some kind of hospital room. He looked around and saw Black Canary reading a magazine in a chair next to him.
"Where am I?" He all but growled, he was still in a lot of pain. Black Canary looked up and said,
"Finally awake huh? Well you are one amazing kid. You broke 12 ribs, your left arm, your right leg, and your right hand for lack of a better term looked like it got ran over by a train. Thats not even counting all the cuts and gashes you had." She shuddered at her last statement, "And yet you managed to heal from it all in a week." She continued. Cole, while thankful that he wasn't dead after all that asked again,
"Where am I?" Black Canary got up and said,
"Well your in a medical lab, which is in Mt. Justice, which in in Happy Harbor, Rhode Island. Now that's out of the way, how about you answer my questions? First one is: Whats you name and how long have you been a walking lighting storm?" Cole groaned as he shifted in his bed and replied,
"Cole. Cole MacGrath. And you can thank the lightning to the First Sons and their damned Ray Sphere." Canary was taken aback by his last words. She had heard of the First Sons and their Ray Sphere project from Batman, but even he doubted their existence. Cole then went back to sleep. Canary got up and left the room. Outside Batman was waiting for her.
"You hear any of that?" She asked. Batman nodded and said,
"I think he'd be a valuable asset in investigating the First Sons, and he'd be an even better asset to the team." Black Canary looked at him and said,
"Maybe. But you already sprang Artemis on them out of nowhere, and now this kid?" Batman started to walk away and said,
"I doubt they'll have a problem once they see what he can do" and with that he left Canary outside Cole's room.
As you may have noticed I've kind of de-aged Cole a little. For this story he's 17. Also in the next chapter he'll meet the team.
