SUMMARY: After freeing the Justice League from the Light's control, the Team, with the clone Roy Harper, were bonding but they also need a mission bonding. Naturally, they get one. Their mission? Stop a villian with the name "Time Stream". But everything went wrong with the mission. One second they were fighting the enemy, the next they were in Watchtower with Superman and–was that?–Zatanna looking at them. One problem? The Zatanna they were staring at looked a little older and more beautiful and they can't have two Zatannas, can they?

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Young Justice, folks! If I do, Wally West should never had ceased and Nightwing should never had leave the Team. Though, I own my OCs in this story.

Time Stream, So Original

|TEAM YEAR ZERO

The Young Justice League, plus Red Arrow, were sprawled on the floor of Mt. Justice. It had been four days after the they had saved the Justice League from the Light's mind control and they were, as of now, bored. Sure, they had saved their mentors but still they needed to have fun. They even dragged Roy in to have some hope of salvation from boredom.

But before they saved the League, they discovered something that will haunt one hero until the end of his days. Red Arrow, the Roy Harper that they were with now, was a clone. A clone like Conner, alias Superboy. A clone like Match, the older Super clone. Red Arrow was the mole on the Team, he was programmed to rat them out. But, with the help of some Leaguers, like Martian Manhunter, Batman, and Fate, as well as Miss Martian, they had manage to free Red Arrow from the attempts from the Light to take him to their side.

The ones most affected by the news were Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad. Robin, Kid Flash, and Red Arrow (Speedy) were brothers in all but blood, his relationship with Aqualad was of the best friends nature. But with big hearts, the trio didn't blame the newly found clone and continued their friendship with him.

So back to what was happening now, they were scattered around the common room, sprawled, watching football on the TV. The green sofa was missing, The team found out that it was destroyed after they left the Cave but didn't know who did it. The League were too busy with saving the world and searching for any clues or evidence about the 'missing 16 hours' to buy them a sofa anyway. Not that they were mad at them for it.

The "missing 16 hours" of 6 of the founding members of the Justice League was infamous among the heroes. It was the hours where Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern (John Stewart), and Hawkwoman went missing for a whole 16 hours with no witness of what happened. They were worried if they did anything wrong, illegal, or anything bad that time.

As the TV went into static, a lot of the occupants of the room groaned. Kid Flash sat up and said, "this is so boring! Why can't we just do anything fun and leave the Cave?"

"KF's right. You guys need to be whelmed; I need to be whelmed," moaned Robin as he turned to his side and continue to lay on the floor. "We need a Team Bonding."

"You are right, my friend. However, Batman has told us not to leave the Cave until Red Tornado says so." Kaldur interjected from his place on the floor.

"You are such a spoilsport, Kal!" said Kid Flash from his spot and stuck his tongue out. Beside him, Artemis rolled her eyes at her boyfriend's antics. She grabbed a pillow, which she was using to cushion her head from the floor, and throw it at him, successfully hitting him in the face.

"Ow, babe! That hurts!" The speedster dramatically said as he took the pillow from his face.

"Oh shut up, Baywatch." Artemis said in a bored tone of voice that held none of the ire the others were used to hearing when she spoke to the red head.

"Does Batman has a mission for us?" piped in Miss Martian from where her body was sprawled next to Superboy's, her head resting on his chest and her hands on his stomach. "It's been four days, you know. Fours days after our last action."

"He'll call us when he has." Zatanna answered. She was next to Rocket, who was next to Aqualad.

"I'm sure my boredom is bored from just listening to you guys." said Red Arrow, hiding a smirk. As he said that, the Team turned to look at him with indignant looks. He inserted his index fingers on both of his ears as a loud cry erupted from the teens' throats.

"HEY!"

"That is so mean, Roy!" cried Kid Flash as he tried to lunged on the red-head archer. With reflexes, Roy rolled away and continued to smirk at the ginger speedster. He stood up as Kid Flash lunged at him again, though this time, the archer dropped down and swept Kid's legs with his foot, causing him to fall with a yelp.

Kid Flash face-planted on the floor as the Team burst out laughing. Though, Robin's was more of a cackle than a laugh. It wasn't that long before Kid Flash joined their laughing. Their happy demeanor was washed away as a gruff voice echoed on the hall.

"Team, report to mission."

That shut the Team up and they all stood up, with Rocket turning the TV off as they scrambled to the mission room[1]. Excited looks were shared with the teens, happy to have a mission again after four days of rest and boredom. Red Arrow was excited too, even though he's a League member, he still wants to join the Team in some missions.

The Team arrived on the mission room. Batman, Black Canary, and Red Tornado were there. But, Black Canaray wasn't wearing her usual hero attire, she was only wearing civvies. Never had the Team saw her in civvies, well save for Roy, Robin, and Kid Flash. She was wearing a red spaghetti-strapped dress that reaches up until an inch above her knees, it was partnered with a pair of red high heels. It looked like she had plans, when Batman called her here.

Robin and Kid Flash snickered as they knew that she and 'Ollie' were going on a date. Red Arrow cracked a smile, he knew Ollie liked taking Dinah, a.k.a. Black Canary, out on a date in the morning. He didn't exactly know why. Black Canary was avoiding or ignoring the looks the Team gave her.

Batman narrowed his eyes on the Team. "Team, there has been a slight disturbance in Star City and Green Arrow and Black Canary will not be able to handle that disturbance." His voice cut through the snickers.

"Why? Because she's going on a date with Ollie?" said Kid Flash, nudging his best friend as he and Robin grinned.

Black Canary's head swiveled to them so fast that few of them winced that she may have cracked her neck. She glared fiercely at the two and Red Arrow (whom she caught that was smiling). "No. We are not going on a date, Kid Flash." She crossed her arms and gave a triumphant smirk at the trio's fallen faces. "Green Arrow and I will be undercover, along with Hal Jordan and Superman who will be reporters, as superstars on Hollywood. It has been discovered that a ruthless group is trying to assassinate superstars."

Rocket, one of the confused members of the Team, asked. "How will you be able to undercover as a superstar when you're not even one?"

"I have my ways." Was the simple answer.

The Team left the this topic as they turned to Batman. His back was facing them and there was a picture of a guy in the holographic screen. A man, possibly in his early 30s, was wearing a red-and-blue tuxedo with a watch necklace hanging from his neck and a blue necktie. He was also wearing gray pants with a red belt and a pair of black shiny shoes. His hair was a deep shade of brown and he had glasses. There was a red top hat on his head with white stars enveloping it. The finger-less gloves on his hands were colored black[2].

"There's a new villain roaming on the streets of Star City, going by the alias 'Time Stream'. He has the ability to send himself or others back or forward in time. His powers are coming from the watch-necklace he has. He's not a meta-human, just a plain human out to terrorize the city." Batman said as he turned to the Team. The picture of the guy changed into a video of the villain 'Time Stream' hitting a screaming brunette woman with a golden ray made by his watch. "We need you to stop him as soon as possible to prevent any more damage. Understood?" they nodded. "Good. Now suit up." With that, the Dark Knight turned away from them and left the Cave. Within two seconds, the zeta-beam announced his exit.

Kid Flash turned to Robin and muttered, "'Time Stream'? So original." Robin snorted and the two went to change into their costumes, with Kid speeding off and Robin following.

"Come on, Conner." said Miss Martian as she dragged Conner, a.k.a. Superboy, to the hanger due to her shape-shifting abilities changing her clothes to her uniform.

"Ok." Conner smiled at his girlfriend as he let himself be dragged off. He was wearing his hero suit 24/7, so he didn't need to change.

Artemis, Zatanna, and Rocket raced to their respective bedrooms in the Cave and changed, with Aqualad doing the same. Red Arrow, still on his costume since he'd enter the Cave this morning, just followed Miss Martian and Superboy to the hangar and waited for the others.

NOTES:

[1] - I don't know if there is a mission room. Just imagine it as the area where the Team always report for mission.

[2] - Those fingerless gloves are like Superboy's in Young Justice: Invasion.

- The Terrible Trio (Dick, Wally, and Roy) thought that Dinah and Oliver are going on a date, but they're really not. They are not going on a date, I swear. Black Canary's report for the assassination of superstars are real. So no, BC and GA are not going on a date. Unless, you count their mission (with Hal and Clark) as a date, but don't mind their pseudo-reporters (even though Clark's a real reporter).

-If you guess that Dinah will be going as Dinah, the fiancée of the billionare playboy Oliver Queen, then you are right. Dinah and Oliver will be going as themselves (not as their hero selves, their secret identity selves) at Hollywood.

- Time Stream is a OC villian and he has a secret identity too. So you'll his seceret identity soon, I think.

- It's "Team Year Zero" because they haven't done their anniversary yet. Remember, July 4th is the day they became a Team, so on July 4th of the year 2011, they will be "Team Year One".
