Bonus Story: The 3 R's: Reunions, Renewal, and Reformation.

Star City, 10 years in the future...

25-year-old Artemis Crock fumbled for the keys to her apartment. She had done many near-impossible things in her life, but opening a door while your hands are full of groceries what difficult.

After a few minutes, she managed to get the door open. Once inside, she set the groceries on a counter, then plopped down on her couch.

"Finally, a chance to relax," she sighed.

Then she felt a quick breeze. She sat straight up and said, "What do you want, West?"

Flash stepped into a view. "Seriously? First Nightwing, now you? It wouldn't kill you to fake it."

"Man up, Wally. Now, what do you want? Because it seems you don't remember what happened the last time we were alone in a room together," Artemis growled.

"It's kind of hard to forget. You broke my leg. Anyway, I came here to see if you were coming to the reunion M'gann was planning."

Artemis lost her agitated expression. Now she just looked tired. "I haven't decided. I'm not sure if everybody else would want me there. And I'm not too keen on the idea of spending a day with my ex-boyfriend, his wife, and his kids."

Flash waved off the concern. "For starters, of course you'll be wanted. You're an original member of the team, and a member of the superhero community like everybody else."

"Yeah, but ever since my brief stint as Tigress, everybody's either mad at me or scared of me. I'm not in the mood to be given terrified glances."

"Well, you are kinda scary," Flash agreed. "And ruthless. And dangerous. And-"

"I get it!" Artemis snapped.

"Arty, listen. The reason you don't want to show up is that you don't want to see me, Linda, Jai, and Irey. I get that. But I'm not asking you to come and see me. I'm asking you to come and see your friends."

Artemis sat in silence, thinking. After a few minutes, she sighed and said, "Fine. Whatever makes M'gann happy."

"Great!" Flash chirruped. He picked her up bridal style. "Let's go!"

"West, if you know what's good for you, put me dow-AHHHHHH!"

Imagine being carried bridal style while the person carrying you is moving at super-speed. Not a fun experience.

An undisclosed location in the Arctic...

Ms. Martian knelt on the cold ground. She was in front of some weird machine.

"We're having the reunion today," she said. "It took a little convincing, but everybody's coming. Even Artemis. Nightwing is coming too. Said he had big news."

She chuckled. "It's weird. He created a team a few weeks ago with his girlfriend. They're called The Outsiders. After so many years of saying, 'I work alone', he's the one to start up a whole new team."

She stood up. "Anyway, I should be going. The reunion has already started."

We finally see who she's talking to. In front of her was a golden tank. Through the glass, we see Superboy, in a sleep-like state. He only looks a few years older. He's wearing the white solar suit. Next to the tank is a computer, with these words on its screen:

Fortress of Solitude Regeneration Chamber: Stable.

Regeneration Process: Stable

Process Completion: Unknown

Ms. Martian kissed two of her fingers, then pressed those fingers against the frosty glass, right over Superboy's lips.

"See you again soon, my love."

She walked out of the Regeneration Lab, and into the room that held the Fortress's zeta tube. Standing next the tube was Superman and Kaldur.

Ms. Martian walked up to Superman. "Thanks for letting me visit."

Superman smiled. "Don't mention it. It seemed right, considering you're having the reunion today."

"And thank you for letting us hold it at the Hall of Justice," Kaldur added.

"It was my pleasure. Now, you two should get going. You're late enough as it is."

Kaldur and Ms. Martian both nodded, then disappeared into the zeta tube.

Hall of Justice, Washington D.C.

Ms. Martian and Kaldur stepped out of the zeta tube. As far as they could tell, everyone Ms. Martian had invited managed to show up. Nightwing, Arsenal, Zatanna, Rocket, Lagoon Boy, Blue Beetle, Wonder Girl, etc. They even saw Tigress, who was currently hugging her niece, Lian. (She had been worried for a moment there that Artemis/Tigress would have changed her mind at the last minute.)

"May I have you're attention, please?" Ms. Martian announced. Everyone stopped talking. "Thank you. I'd just like to thank everyone for coming. I know how busy your schedules are, but I'm sure Captain Cold can wait a few hours before having his butt kicked."

It was a weak joke, but everyone laughed anyway.

"Ten years ago, we were all part of the same team," she went on. "It's been a long time since we been in the same city, let alone the same room, as each other. So, let me be the first to say..."

She threw her arms up on the air and shouted, "It's fantastic to see you all again! Now, let's get this party started!"

You didn't have to tell them twice. If there's one thing superheroes know how to do besides saving lives, is how to party.

So this went on for a few hours. Music, food, idle chatter, an arm wrestling contest between Arsenal and Tigress. That kind of stuff.

Nightwing tapped Kaldur's shoulder. "Hey, can you come with me for a second?"

Kaldur had just been talking with Linda, so he nodded.

He followed Nightwing into a separate room. Also in the room was Ms. Martian, Tigress, and Flash.

"Great, we're all here," Nightwing said.

"Does this have to do with your 'big news'?" Flash asked.

"Yes, it does,."

"So, what is it?", Ms. Martian asked. "What's with all the secrecy?"

"You'll see!" Nightwing answered in a sing-song voice. "Follow me."

They followed Nightwing to the Hall's zeta tube and stepped through. When they stepped out, they were now in Mt. Justice. But the room wasn't empty. It was filled with kids in costumes.

"Nightwing..." Tigress said. "What. Is. This?"

Nightwing looked extremely pleased with himself. "My next big project."

There were quite a few kids. A girl with red hair flying around the room on a funnel of wind. A boy in a magician's outfit chasing frogs around the room, trying to get them back into his hat. A boy with white hair and a demonic appearance. An African-American boy with electricity crackling at his fingertips. A girl dressed entirely in purple, from her mask down to her cape. The newest Robin. And so many others.

The grown ups in the room gave Nightwing a stare.

"Explain," they demanded in unison.

"As you all know, I took a little field trip to the past a few weeks ago. That experience was what inspired me to create the Outsiders," Nightwing explained. "But it also got me thinking. We had a good thing going, with the Team and all. We learned a lot, and did so much. I want to start it back up, without the League watching our every move."

"You're serious?" Kaldur asked.

"As a heart attack."

"You want these kids running around without supervision. That's a brilliant idea," Tigress said sarcastically. "Didn't some kids already try that and hopelessly fail? With the team-who's-name-will-never-be-mentioned-again?"

"You mean the Teen Titans?" Ms. Martian asked.

"She mentioned it!" Flash gasped.

"I never said they wouldn't be supervised," Nightwing assured them. He looked at Tigress. "Arty, I want you in charge of training. If anyone can whip these kids into shape, it's you."

Tigress was silent for a minute, then sighed. "Why not. I've had ample amounts of free time lately. But I'm not exactly fit to be den mother."

"I'm not asking you to be den mother," Nightwing said. "I'm giving that job to Kaldur. If he'll except it."

Kaldur smiled. "I'd be honored."

"Wait, wait, wait," Flash said. "You want to do this without the League breathing down your necks. Well, Ms. M and I are Leaguers. "

"You can be liaisons, if the rest of the A-List finds out," Nightwing said. "You all in?"

Some silence, then mutual nodding.

"Hold on!" Flash said again. He ran out of the room, and came back with a camera and tripod. He set it up, then stood with his friends, as the camera took their picture.

"What was that?" Kaldur asked.

Flash held up the camera. "Souvenir."

Some things never changed.

Nightwing smiled, then turned to face the teenagers. "May I have your attention please?"

The teens all stopped talking and looked at Nightwing.

"Thank you. The reason you're all here is simple. You're young, and most of you have superpowers. You also want to help people, and maybe, in a few years, join the Justice League. Well, I'm here to help you with all that. To show you that you can be more than kids. More than sidekicks. You can be just as great heroes as Superman or Wonder Woman. But for now, one thing is certain..."

Nightwing looked at the kids before him. In their faces he saw his team, eager to get started.

"... Today, is the day."

The End.

WOOT! Finally done, ya'll! And might I say, this came out very well. Anyway, who else watched the new Young Justice: Invasion episode? I did, and I'm happy to say that even though my story isn't canon, I'm keeping it just the way it is. But I was right about Robin becoming Nightwing in the next five years. Gimme my props!

Oh, and whoever can guess the teen heroes I was describing earlier on when they entered the mountain, gets cyber brownies!
