A Bird on the Helicarrier

Summary: When Batman suspects the Avengers are plotting against the League, he sends in Robin to investigate. And has a little fun doing so, then is taken home by Tony Stark. Meanwhile, Black Widow is having a spider problem. And for once, it's not Spider-Man! Rated T for language and references.

Author's Note: So I'm surfing through the YJ crossovers and decide to read the Avengers section. I thought, well why not add a little YJ fun to the Helicarrier? It was also one of those ideas that keeps nagging your brain and won't stop until it comes out.

Disclaimer: I do not own: The Avengers, Young Justice, or the few seconds of Ben Tennyson or Justin Bieber/Stark.

July 1st; Location: Batcave, Gotham City; 5:15 pm...

Batman was doing research on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier and its blueprints on the batcomputer. Dick, in Robin uniform, sat next to him, happily drinking a double chocolate milkshake that Alfred had just made him. The younger squinted at the computer screen in confusion. He had been called down by Bruce a few minutes ago, but still hadn't informed him of why he was down here. He gave another questioning look toward the screen before looking at the clock. They needed to eat dinner soon and head over to Mt. Justice. What was Batman looking for?

"Um, Bruce. Not that studying the Helicarrier isn't fun or anything, but shouldn't we be grabbing dinner and heading to Mt. Justice now?" Robin asked.

"I sent the team on a mission in Bialya before you got down here." Batman replied.

Robin stopped drinking his milkshake and looked up at his mentor. He had just deployed the team on a mission? Without him? Whatever Batman was looking for, it must be important.

"And why wasn't I going?" Rob asked again.

"I need you for a more important mission. S.H.I.E.L.D. just got a shipment of unknown and untested weapons last night, from someone from Belle Reeve. I want you to go in and investigate and figure out exactly what they got and what they are using them for." Batman informed.

"Are you coming with?" Rob asked.

Batman stiffened noticiably, "No, apparently, it's my shift for monitor duty, since Oliver is going on a date with Dinah again."

Dick's face lit up. So, he was actually going aboard the Helicarrier? By himself? Sweet! Not that the Justice League's Watchtower wasn't cool, but come on! It's the helicarrier! The helicarrier owned by a rival team! During his mental cheering, a thought came to him,

"Wait, couldn't..." he trailed off once he saw the glare on his mentor's face.

"Dick, do you honestly think she would report back here? With anything that involved the Avengers?" Bruce asked. The young ward shook his head.

"Now, I'm going to have you dropped off via Bat Jet to where the Helicarrier is currently hovering. I'll have it stay low to avoid detection, but near enough for you to get out of there if necessary. Get in, find out info, and get out. Understand?" Bruce asked.

Robin nodded. With a nod, Batman set up the coordinates for the jet to drop off his bird. Robin got in the cock-pit. Batman stood next to the jet, waiting for his son to be fully in there safely,

"Robin," Batman called. Robin looked down at him, "be careful." The thirteen year old gave a smile and a thumbs up before the top of the cockpit closed completely. The Dark Knight went back to the computer and launched the jet. Giving a wave, Robin sat back in his seat as the jet took to the skies. Batman watched with worried eyes, wishing his son luck.

On the Helicarrier...

Tony Stark, in Iron Man uniform, stood next to a crate of weapons that gave off a blue and green glow. He was currently on the phone with his nephew, in regards to the whereabouts of said nephew's sister. To be honest, the Billionaire did not feel like being there and was actually asking the nephew why the weapons were here,

"So, Benny, why isn't Sami here sorting this junk out? And why is she giving it to SHIELD?" Tony asked.

"She said something about SHIELD being unprepared, so she had the Council arranged to have some weapons transferred over there." Ben Tennyson, age thirteen, replied.

"And why is she NOT here?" Tony asked.

"She's has PMS-"

"Ben I didn't ask what she has, I asked-"

"I'm telling you she has PMS, Private Mission Syndrome.r." Ben explained.

Tony wanted to smack himself, or Ben, in the forehead. Was there ever a time where the boy just said the whole thing instead of abbreviating or making it shorter? He was surprised that she didn't have the weapons transferred to the League. They were never prepared. Speaking of which,

"So why aren't there weapons going to the Justice League?" the playboy asked.

A long pause, "Uncle Ton, you really think she trusts the League? Especially with their back-stabbing mole issues? Plus, she said that the Council pretended to be from Belle Reeve. The League would think it would be bombs or something and get rid of them anyway." Ben responded, as if it was the most obvious thing in the entire world.

Tony made a face. No, he guessed she wouldn't have. He then asked how Ben's summer was going as he listened to his nephew explain. He saw Nick Fury come in. The one-eyed man looked from the crates to Tony with a questioning look. Tony mouthed out that the weapons were "gifts" from his niece. Nick ordered three or four of his men to take the weapons to the Armory. Fury then motioned to the phone with a warning look. The billionaire rolled his eyes and handed the other the phone,

"Who is this?" Fury asked.

"Ben? Look, can you ask where Justin is?" Ben responded before hanging up.

Fury took the phone away from his ear and tossed it back to Tony. Tony asked the young boy to repeat what he had just asked and explained that Justin was currently on tour and took Happy and Pepper with. After a goodbye from both, Tony hung up,

"I'm all yours." Tony said to Fury.

"Please explain why there are weapons coming in from your niece?" Fury asked.

After explaining why, Fury nodded and simply left. Tony looked after his "boss" with a pissed look. All of that, just to be left hanging? He shook his head and made his way to the training area. Once there, he was greeted with a flying punching bag and screaming. He looked back in the direction of the flying bag to see Black Widow, or Nat, take out her gun and was firing at some unseen target. He dodged before yelling at her,

"Hey, hey, hey! Nat, put down your gun, soldier! What the hell are you doing?" he hollered.

Natasha put down her gun as she looked around frantically, "I just saw a freaking huge, spider looking, thing." she explained as she continued to look around.

Tony gave her a look, "Nat, I know Peter is ugly, but he's not a thi-"

"I wasn't talking about Parker, dumbass! I saw a huge spider thing! It didn't look like a human or normal thing at all! It looked like a giant spider about the size of a small dog! It just threw a freaking punching bag at you! Didn't you see it?" she hollered.

Did she just swear at him? She must have seriously seen something that freaked her out bad enough to curse at him. Tony looked behind and around him. He didn't see anything or hear anything at all. He did hear a crazy woman in front of him. He timidly reached for her hand,

"Nat, why don't we get you to your quarters and you just get some rest?" he asked.

She gave him a serious look like he was the crazy one. She raised her weapon again as he held up his hands defensively. She brushed passed him and went up the steps to the Cafeteria and living room type area. Tony just watched her go before looking around at the training room. It wasn't in that bad of shape. Though there was a punching bag missing and a large hole in the ceiling with a few bullet holes in the walls. With a shrug, his suit retracted to reveal his sweats underneath and decided that he'd better get started on his cardio.

On the deck...

The Bat-Jet dropped Robin out from 100 feet above the helicarrier. Luckily he activated his parachute just in time or else he would have been pizza on the deck. He let the parachute go when he was low enough to just safely land. Looking around, he saw three guys in uniform running in his direction. Great, he just landed and his cover had already been blown. He threw three smoke grenades and watched as the smoke exploded in their faces. That was chance he needed to get inside. The raven made his way passed the three choking men and opened up the entry into the ventalation system before slipping inside.

Once inside, Robin brought up his holomap to see where he was supposed to go. He took in a breath, seeing that he wasn't even close to where the Armory was. Giving a sigh, the holomap went away and he crawled toward the Armory.

Main Communications Area...

A group of SHIELD agents were all at computers, monitoring different areas of the world while another group watched parts of the helicarriers via computer. Nick Fury watched everyone from a platform above. Suddenly, the Helicarrier's defense alarm went off as a panicked voice called over the loud speaker,

"Director Fury! Someone has breached the helicarrier. I repeat, someone has breached the helicarrier!" the agent hollered. The group assigned to watch over the helicarrier typed up commands to access security cameras and motion sensors,

"Sir! I've found the intruder! He's in the vents! He already took out the motion sensors, but I've got a visual! He's at coordinates 40 degrees North and 30 degrees West!" Stevenson reported. Director Fury turned on the full screen which showed a large video feed of Robin crawling around in the vents. Fury put a finger to his earwig,

"I want Agents Banner, Barton, Rodgers, and Thor to be on the look out for Batman's protege. If you find him, bring him to the interrogation room. Preferably alive." Fury commanded. He then released his earwig and turned to one of the closer agents,

"You, I want you to somehow disable whatever the hell he is using to hack into our systems!"

Vents...

Robin was in the middle of figuring out which direction to go in next when a large gust of air blew at him, throwing him further down into the ventalation shaft. He gave a long yell as he was thrown through the vents. He grabbed on to a screen that lead to another room under him. He thrusted his foot into it as the screen fell to the floor, jumping into the gap he created. He dropped down into what appeared to be a type of boiler looking hallway. Large tubes wider than him lined the walls of the hallways. He pressed a button on his glove, only to find that his holomap wasn't working,

"Wha-who hacked me?" Robin yelled.

I'm going to leave it there for now. It's not the last chapter, I promise! There's more to come.
