Some notes before you read: This idea came to me spontaneously while I was watching a movie. I forget which movie, since it was a month ago or so, but it was probably action. I'm really excited about writing this and I've been working on it for a while, and I'm really happy with the way it's turning out so far. It's pretty much just my version of how the team met/how they came to be. I'll try to update every week, but I just moved into college this week so I expect to be pretty busy within the next couple months. Plus, I'm also working on another fic at the same time. But I'll try to update as frequently as I can! Anyway I hope you like it!

Prologue

There had been an idea to form a team. A motley crew of sidekicks, put together so that they could defend Earth-16 and its inhabitants when their revered mentors weren't around to do the job. The world needed more heroes, and this assortment would be like no other. The six boys and girls specifically sought out and chosen for the job would be the next generation of the Justice League.

They would be absolutely brilliant.

The first was Robin. Though young, only thirteen, the adopted son of Batman had vast experience in the field of crime fighting. He was exceedingly adept at hand-to-hand combat, as well as a master martial artist, an excellent tactician and a technological genius.

The second was Aqualad. An Atlantean who possessed incredible strength and durability, as well as the ability to breathe and speak underwater. Aquaman's protégé could form weapons out of water and use it to conduct electricity. His leadership skills would make him an asset to the assembled group of young heroes.

The third was Kid Flash. A science prodigy who possessed enhanced speed, though he was marginally slower than his mentor, The Flash. Despite his smaller range of abilities, what he lacked in powers he made up for in his incredible intelligence and steadfast loyalty.

The fourth was Superboy. A clone of Superman rescued from Project Cadmus, he possessed impossible strength, the capability to jump astounding distances into the air, invulnerability, and enhanced hearing. Though he was untrained, he would prove a fast learner.

The fifth was Miss Martian. The inexperienced niece of the Martian Manhunter was young and naïve, but she possessed one of the strongest telepathic minds in the entire galaxy, as well as the gifts of telekinesis, flight, and shape shifting. Her abilities were unparalleled on the League, even by her uncle.

And the sixth was Artemis. Like Robin, she did not possess superpowers, but her skills with a bow and arrow could be matched by no other. As a master archer and a martial artist, she was strong-willed and dedicated, with an independent mindset and a headstrong nature.

These six young heroes would be a new beginning. These six individuals would be the promise of a new age, a new millennium. They would be at the very head of a new generation of superheroes who would one day change the world, just as their mentors had before them.

They would be . . . legendary.

If only they could manage to get along first.
