A/N: I KNOW SOME PEOPLE HATE A/Ns BUT PLEASE AT LEAST READ THIS ONE.

Okay, I'll just warn you guys now. In my eyes, my story plot is intriguing and I love it, but unfortunately I'm a really bad writer. So if any of you want to take a part of my story and put it in one of yours, go for it. All I ask is for you to tell me via review and say somewhere in your story that a part of this was mine, wolfeclipse25's idea.

And now, without further ado, "A Bird, Speed, and Water" will begin.

THIRD POV

(A/N The words in Italics will symbolize what the people in the surveillance video are saying.)

Batman summoned Flash, Green Arrow, and Aquaman. "You'd better take a look at this." He said. They were in the surveillance room where several screens lied on the wall. He pressed a button unfreezing the center screen. It showed the Justice League's room in the Hall of Justice, Washington DC.

"Umm, what are we looking at exactly?" Flash asked as the room remained untouched and empty. A second later the screen turned black.

"That," Batman said.

Nothing was heard as the JL members waited in anticipation. Then they heard the sound of metal and faint feet. "Why exactly are we doing this?" The voice belonged to a boy, probably a teenager's.

"We are doing this because we must watch over the Justice League's 'sidekicks.'" That voice was also male but was deeper and held more of a formal tone to it. The JL members raised their eyebrows at that comment. They could hear the faint sarcastic tone as the person said 'sidekicks.'

"What does he mean 'watch over the Justice-"Green Arrow started, but Batman glared at him for silence.

"Yeah, whatever," the lighter toned voice continued, "I can understand that, but what I don't understand that, but what I don't understand are the codenames. We couldn't do something like Bob, or Raymond, or Super-Lightning-Guy. No-o-o-o-o, we have to do their names." As soon as he said that there was a smacking sound like someone had biffed him. "Um, ow! Dude that hurt!"

"Just live with it, Flash," the deeper voice said. Everyone's eyes widened and stared at the present Flash.

"It isn't me!" he protested, "I was with you guys beating Wotan's butt!"

There was a sigh. "I know, Aquaman, but don't deny you don't like it either!" Suddenly the computer voice said "Access Denied." The league hadn't noticed it before, but there was a faint typing sound in the background. A moment later the voice said "Access Granted."

"Wooohooo! Good going, Bats! I knew you could do it!" the lighter voice exclaimed like he'd just won the lottery. Aquaman's mind was running: there were two boys one taking his name temporarily and a third person whose gender is unknown.

There was silence, probably because the people were reading the JL data files. A moment later the lighter toned voice spoke. "So, we're heading to Cadmus, right?" Then the screen turned back to normal.

The heroes were silent, thinking about what they'd just witnessed. "I found this after we'd defeated Wotan and found Artemis and Miss Martian missing from the Hall of Justice." Batman explained, "From what I gather, the person who'd hacked the video purposely left the sound on, knowing I'd find it, but sight off to remain anonymous."

"But what does this mean?" Aquaman asked. "Why are they using our names? And using them with such reluctance?"

"And what do they mean by watching our sidekicks? The only ones were Miss Martian, Artemis, and Speedy." Green Arrow went back to his previous question.

"It means," Batman answered, "we have a new maybe foe that hates us."

A/N: Short, but I'll try to make the other pages longer. It always bothers me with short pages because then they're not exactly chapters.

Feedback? I'll take anything, even flames.
