Young Justice on Chopped

A/N: Yay! Last chapter! Who do you think is gonna win? I honestly don't know who is gonna get 'chopped' until I actually write the part where they reveal the dish. Then I go back and read the reviews that the judges gave and decide for myself who should be kicked out.

221 views! That's a lot. I mean...wow.

Thank you so much for your reviews! Whenever I see a new review I get so excited! I have gotten so many reviews I had to go to the store and buy more parenthesis for the Cybercookies.

Thank you to DarkMuse711 for suggesting London Fog for this round.

Thank you to that awesome guest (Here are your Cybercookies! (::) (::) (::) ) for suggesting ham, cinnamon rolls, and Chinese noodles. And I will be mentioning the names of Ted and the judges in this chapter per your request. Coincidentally the three judges you mentioned in your review are the three I had in mind when I started writing this! No, I am not kidding.

Thank you to all who followed/favorited/reviewed this story. You guys make me smile!

Disclaimer: I don't own Young Justice or Chop...Oh you know the drill! If you recognize it, I don't own it.

I am not a chef, and if you were to make these dishes at home according to this story, you would probably end up in the hospital.

Sorry if anyone is OOC, I try to keep them in character, but no one is perfect.

Sorry if my grammar/punctuation/spelling isn't perfect, cause I stink at English.

Enough with the notes! On with the story!

"It has come down to two chefs, one will go home with the $10,000 prize, and one will not. Are you ready chefs?"

"Ready as I'll ever be." Smirked Megan.

"Bring it on." Said Robin returning the smirk.

"Then chefs, without further ado, please open your baskets.

And in this round you must use: Smoked ham, cinnamon rolls, London Fog, and Chinese noodles.

You have 30 minutes. Time starts now."

The host, Ted Allen, left the two competitors to their work as the clock started the dreaded countdown.

Robin's POV (Thinking)

'Where do they even get these ingredients?! Do they just blindfold some guy and shove him into an exotic foods market and whatever he grabs they use?! I mean, the cinnamon rolls are easy, and the noodles could work somehow. But ham? And what is London Fog? It looks like a latte of some kind, like tea or coffee or something. Yeah I know it's a challenge and all, but come on! Oh well, at least it'll be interesting, now I just gotta figure out how to make these taste good together...uh...cinnamon roll with London Fog sauce?...nah...um...hey, I know! London Fog ice cream with glazed ham, candied Chinese noodles, and cinnamon roll cookies. That should wow them enough for me to win this.'

Robin decided that if he waited until the 20 minute warning to make his ice cream then he should have enough time to make it with out rushing, but not so much that he has time to spare and it melts on the plate. So he started with the cookies since...well...that's the only other thing to start with besides the ice cream.

He ripped open the package of rolls and started unrolling them, planning on cutting the strips into squares and baking them. No, wait, that's not original at all! So halfway through unrolling the pastry he decided to make actual cookies.

Since he only had to get past one station this time he decided not to try swinging from the rafters this time to get to the pantry. He ran over and grabbed flour, eggs, milk, sugar, raisins, cinnamon, and other baking essentials.

He ran back to his station with arms full, and got to work. He minced the rolls into tiny pieces and mixed them with flour, sugar, eggs, milk, raisins, cinnamon, and a few other things. Then he scooped the finished dough onto a papered pan, and to keep them from puffing up too much he sprinkled a tiny amount of sugar on them and pressed a fork onto each of them making parallel and perpendicular grooves.

He then threw them in the oven (not literally of course) and grabbed the ham to make glazed ham strips.

Megan's POV (Thinking)

'I had no idea that ham was a dessert ingredient on earth. I had always heard it was a dinner item. Must be one of those more flexible ingredients. So since cinnamon rolls are also a common dessert item, I'll combine them. I'll make ham and cinnamon roll bites, with a London Fog whipped cream, and candied Chinese noodles.'

The martian flew over to the pantry and levitated cream, sugar, nutmeg, pecans, honey, and various other ingredients that were essential to her dish.

Flying back to her station she set everything on the counter, then levitated the cinnamon rolls and unrolled each of them until they were each nothing but a glazed strip of pastry lying side by side on the counter.

She cut each strip in half and set them aside. Then she grabbed the ham and cut a slice off with a levitated knife, and sliced it into strips the same width as the cinnamon roll strips.

The young martian grabbed the pecans and finely chopped them, then mixed them in a bowl with some honey.

After many sticky fingers and a spoon stuck in her hair she had managed to spread the nut and honey mixture on the strips of ham, which were then placed on the cinnamon rolls and rolled into small pastries. The honey helped it all stick together, so that was a double plus.

She threw them into the oven to bake for a bit while she worked on the candied noodles.

"20 minutes left on the clock, chefs!"

Ted announced.

The time seemed to go by so fast yet so slow. When the chefs were waiting for something to finish cooking it seemed to take forever, but at the same time the clock seemed to be counting down twice as fast as it should. It was maddening.

Robin was slicing his ham into super thin strips when the host called out the time. He knew he needed to make his ice cream as soon as he was done with the ham. He finished slicing and set the ham in a bowl.

He then poured some sugar in a pan on the stove and let it melt for the ham, and later the noodles.

The dark haired bot grabbed the bottle of London Fog and mixed it with cream, sugar, and a few spices for extra flavor. He raced over to the ice cream machine with his sweet mixture. Being the smart kid that he is he had little trouble figuring out how the machine worked.

After emptying the bowl into the machine he ran back to his station and unwrapped the Chinese noodles. He broke them into small pieces and threw them into the pan on the stove, after stirring them a few times he let them glaze.

Miss M was also mixing her London Fog with cream and sugar, but with a different outcome.

She stirred said ingredients and poured them in a mixer with a whisk attachment and set it on high. While it was whipping she broke the Chinese noodles into pieces so small they were almost crumbs, and tossed them in a pan with some sugar.

She mixed the noodles constantly while keeping an eye on the whipped cream, once she paused for a second to check her cinnamon roll bites. Now to wait until everything finished cooking and mixing.

"This is your 10 minute warning chefs!"

The host called to the two competitors.

Robin checked his cinnamon raisin cookies, they were almost done, perfect.

He stirred the Chinese noodles one last time and turned off the heat on the burner. His ham slices were already glazed and ready to plate, and it was about time to get the ice cream.

He raced over to the ice cream machine, but it wasn't quite ready yet, so he ran back to his station and took the noodles off the stove and put them in a bowl.

He raced back, but it still wasn't done! So he stood by it for awhile until it was ready, but he hadn't brought a bowl or spatula! Smacking his head the masked boy ran and grabbed a bowl and spatula from his station, and returned to finally collect the frosty mixture.

Aaaand this had to be the slowest machine in the universe, cause the ice cream was coming out so slowly! After what felt like forever he finally had enough for each of the plates.

He glanced at the clock on his way back, not much time left, the ice cream had taken up a lot of time, good thing there wasn't much left to do.

Megan was keeping an eye on three things at once, not literally of course, for then she would have three eyes. Which wouldn't be a problem for her to fix if the need came.

She took her noodles off the stove, out of the pan, and into a bowl. After peeking in on the rolls once more she stopped the mixer with the whipped cream and set it aside as well.

She flew over to the pantry to try and find a good garnish. What flavor would go with cinnamon roll and latte?...um...oh forget it! Not all dishes needed a garnish, and this was taking up too much time!

Abandoning her quest for a garnish the martian flew to the other side of the stations and levitated four plates to her station. At this rate she wouldn't even have to rush, but better safe than sorry.

"2 minute warning chefs! You have 2 minutes to complete your dishes!" Ted Allen announced to the rushing chefs.

Robin ran to the shelf that contained the plates and grabbed four plates and four cup-like dishes. Running back to his station he arranged the dishes on the counter. Taking his cinnamon-raisin cookies out of the oven he started putting together the possible winner.

Megan was almost done. Her plates here arranged and all the components of the dish were ready to plate. She was currently placing her honey ham and cinnamon rolls on the plates. It was a good thing they were almost done, for time was running out.

"Make sure your plates are complete in time chefs, there is no turning back."

Ted started counting down with the clock.

"10"

Robin scooped his ice cream into the dishes.

"9"

Megan plopped whipped cream next to her rolls.

"8"

Robin sprinkled glazed ham slices and candied noodles on the ice cream.

"7"

Megan sprinkled her candied noodles onto the whipped cream.

"6"

Presentation was tweaked.

"5"

Spills and smears were wiped.

"4"

Better not have forgotten anything.

"3"

Can't turn back now.

"2"

Only one is good enough.

"1"

May the best dish win.

"Time's up! Please step away from your plates."

The two teens stepped back and gave each other a high five.

Both were excited to find out who would win, and they were also relieved that the competing part was over. All they could do now was present their dishes and see which one the judges think should win.

The two heroes walked over to the judges table to receive whatever praise and criticism was given them.

"I'm still pretty sure you're gonna win this Megan, they'll probably kick me out for that whole hacking incident at the last minute." Robin whispered to Megan.

"You never know, sometimes they make you think you're gonna lose, and then suddenly you win!" She replied.

"Yeah." He returned. "It would be great if you could read their minds and find out, but I think you would be disqualified. Cause even though they said we could use our powers, I'm pretty sure that would still be considered cheating."

"Yeah, and it would be kinda rude." She remarked.

By then they had reached the table where the judges Scott Conant, Alex Guarnashelli, and Geoffry Zakarian awaited them.

"Chefs, in this round you had to use: Smoked ham, cinnamon rolls, London Fog, and Chinese fried noodles. Please show us what you've made. Chef Robin?"

"What I've made for you are cinnamon roll cookies and London Fog ice cream, topped with glazed ham and candied Chinese noodles."

The three judges ate the last dish from the hero that they may ever taste.

Alex Guanashelli started the comments.

"I have to say that making a pastry out of a pastry is unusual. I think it's very good, the raisins add a lot of flavor. It is however slightly crumble, it's not a really big deal, but it is a bit annoying."

Scott Conant spoke his thoughts next.

"I think putting the ham on the ice cream was pretty brave of you, it has a very interesting flavor, and the candied noodles also add a nice crunch."

Geoffry Zakarian finished with his input.

"I agree about the ham and noodles, but they're kinda the only flavor. The ice cream could have used a bit more of the London Fog flavor, it's like vanilla ice cream with a hint of London Fog."

"Yes sir." Robin replied.

"Thank you chef." Said the host.

"Thank you." Returned the chef.

"Next, chef M'gorzz."

"So what I made for you are honey ham and cinnamon roll bites, with a London Fog whipped cream and candied Chinese noodles." Said Megan smiling.

The last dish in the competition was consumed like the others before it.

This time it was judge Geoffry who started the commenting.

"I love these rolls, the saltines of the ham with the sweetness of the honey and cinnamon roll is perfect. A good combination."

Scott had to be the bearer of bad news to her.

"Unfortunately, I found hair in my roll."

Megan's heart nearly stopped.

When the spoon got caught in her hair, some hairs must have fallen out onto the rolls.

"Oh my goodness, I am so sorry! I didn't even notice!" Megan said, all in a tizzy now. "I can't believe I didn't see that! I'm so sorry you had to eat that, please don't be mad at me!"

"It's alright, just calm down." Alex said, trying to calm the flustered martian.

Since there was nothing more to say Ted decided to send the teens to wait for the results.

"Thank you chefs, the judges will now make their decision."

The two heroes walked back to the back room for the last time.

…...

"I can't believe I got hair in the food!" Megan said as she plopped into a chair.

"Hey, now we're equal. I hacked the timer, you got hair in the food, we're at an equal disadvantage!"

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"Well, just remember, no matter who wins, we did our best, and the money will go to a good cause." He reminded her.

"That's true."

…...

A few minutes later they were called back.

The dish cover in it's usual place, concealing the dish of the defeated chef.

"Only one of you can win the $10,000 prize, while the other must go home. So, who's dish is on the chopping block?"

Ted grabbed the handle of the cover, this was the moment they had all been waiting for. Whose failures had outdone their successes? Who was the better chef?

He whipped away the covering revealing the loser.

A plate of cookies and a dish of ice cream.

Megan's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets.

"Chef Robin, you've been chopped. Judges?"

Judge Alex took it upon herself to explain the reason for this decision.

"Chef Robin, this was a very close call to make. While you are both excellent chefs there were flaws in your earlier dishes, along with the hacking, that set you farther back than chef M'gorzz. And for these reasons we had to chop you."

"Thank you for the opportunity. Congrats Miss M! I think you are the first non-human to ever win a cooking competition."

Even though Robin had lost, he walked out with a smile on his face. The money would be for a good cause, and Miss Martian had been proclaimed the best chef of them all.

And even though Conner had called it a 'stupid cooking competition', Robin was pretty sure he would be mighty proud of her.

"And that means that you, chef M'gann M'gorzz, are the new chopped champion. Congratulations."

The host said as he and all three judges clapped for her.

Megan was overjoyed. She had been so sure she had lost, and now she was the winner!

"Thank you so much!"

The smile on her face could have lit up the whole Wayne mansion.

…...

'And that means that you, chef M'gann M'gorzz, are the new chopped champion. Congratulations.'

'Thank you so much!'

The team clapped as the credits rolled. Megan had been blushing through the whole thing in her place next to Superboy.

"You did great Megan!" Cheered Wally.

"A lot better than someone did." Said Artemis with a playful jab to his side.

"You can't make me tell!" Wally retorted while rubbing his side. "It may have been intentional, it may have been a coincidence. I'm never telling. What difference does it make anyway? The orphanage got the money didn't it?"

"Yeah it did." Said Robin. "They were able to make some renovations and get better supplies with a ll that money."

"I am glad that this competition was able to provide for others in the end." Said Kaldur with a smile.

"It was kinda fun as well." Smiled Zatanna.

"What are you kids doing?" A deep voice said from behind them.

They all whipped their heads around to find that the voice belonged to non other than Robin's mentor. Batman.

"We were just watching the airing of the episode of 'Chopped' we competed on. Do you wanna guess who won?" Robin grinned.

"Miss Martian." Replied the Dark Night.

Silence followed.

After a few seconds Batman walked out of the room without another word.

"How did he know!?" Wally whispered to his best friend.

All that Robin had to say was:

"He's Batman."

The End.

A/N: And that concludes this story. Thank you to everyone who had read this far! I will give Cybercookies to the first three reviews because I only have enough for three reviews. I kinda ate some of them. :)

Be sure to tell me what you think, I loooooove reviews! Constructive criticism is appreciated, but no flames! Flames will be used to light pretty candles.

I am planning to write a Batman/Transformers G1 crossover if y'all are interested. I don't know when I will get a chance to write it, but I WILL write it!

Black Falcon out!
