raze_flynDisclaimer: The DC universe belongs to DC comics, Warner Brothers and anyone I forgot to mention. I’m just borrowing things for my own and possibly the enjoyment of others fans.
Notes: This is a time travel fic so while the prologue begins about ten years in the future of current DC canon. The bulk of the fic takes place during the Young Justice period shortly after Cassie was voted leader and the trouble involving Empress parents but before the attempt at a reality show. Also Tim in this future is using the Red Robin identity but both Cassie and Kon have changed identities. Cassie is Wonder Woman and Kon El is using the Nightwing identity. The reasons for why will be explained in story.
Cycles of Chaos:
Prologue
“Wonder woman watch out,” someone called and she dodged just in time as one of the zombie things lurched past her. She used a handy bit of concrete to smash it into a puddle of goo and turned to see if any of the others had managed to get close to the lunatic in armor that was summoning these things.
She wasn’t surprised to see that Red Robin had gotten quite close while Nightwing was doing his best to keep the lunatic focused on him. She hoped Conner would be okay he wasn’t invulnerable to magic and despite the fancy laser shooting armor a lot of what this new lunatic was throwing at them seemed to be firmly in the magic category.
Another quick glance around before diving back into the fray revealed that the three of them were the only ones still on their feet in fighting condition. She had never expected a brief stop over at the Outsiders HQ to see Kara would result in this. She heard a small explosion and focused on the villain’s armor smoking and sparking. She guessed Red Robin must have nailed him with one of the many explosive toys he carried.
She allowed herself to begin to relax as the zombie things melted it looked like the damage to his armor had left him powerless. She still kept a close eye on him as Nightwing and Red Robin began to move toward him to help take him into custody. She heard a moan behind her and turned to see Kara climbing out of the wreckage these battles always seemed to leave strewn everywhere.
She was glad to see that Kara looked all right since the usual rules of kryptonian invulnerability didn’t apply when magic was involved. A loud bang drew her attention back to the villain to see he had exploded into what looked like a semi translucent sphere of energy. She was disturbed to see Nightwing trapped as if in amber trying to fly Red Robin away from what she guessed had been the blast. “Everyone stay back; I’m going to try something,” she called to the others who were waking up and taking in the sight.
She carefully picked up a small rock and chucked it at the edge of the field and watched it sail through. Seeing that things that entered it didn’t seem to get stuck she quickly lassoed the two frozen inside it and tried to pull them out. She was shocked when they wouldn’t budge she was about to call Kara and the others for assistance when the strange dome of energy shot forward swallowing her. She couldn’t move at all once the strange globe of energy had swallowed her. She also felt a strange tingling sensation over her entire body. She was wracking her brain trying to think of a way out of this when things went from bad to worse. At the center of the dome a hole appeared and suddenly the dome was shrinking in on itself taking the three of them with it.
She felt a kind of surreal horror as she watched Tim and Kon disappearing into nothing. She hoped it was leading to somewhere and that she hadn’t just watched two of her friends die. As she found herself approaching the hole she felt arms wrap around her and pull back. She wanted to warn whoever was trying to save her not to do it but she still couldn’t talk. She wasn’t surprised when her attempted rescuer joined her in falling into nothingness.
She opened her eyes to find the sun shining in her face as she lay on what felt like asphalt. She heard excited voices talking and yelling as she opened her eyes and looked behind her to see Kara laying unconscious on the ground. She was happy to see that she appeared to be breathing. She was about to look for Tim and Kon when a hesitant voice spoke directly to her. “Cassie, is that you?”
It sounded like Greta but that was impossible so she turned to see who it could be and found herself staring at Secret and The Ray watching her warily. “Oh shit,” She said as the implications of Greta being Secret hit her. She glanced around quickly to find Conner and Tim sitting up shakily. “Guys, we have a problem.”
“Fuck,” Conner said when he looked past her and saw the increasing crowd of young justice members looking at them. She glanced back to see her younger self approaching cautiously. She had experience with traveling into her own future but never in traveling into her own past.
“Keep the details to a minimum we can’t risk changing history,” Tim said sounding a great deal like his former mentor. She thought about their future evil selves fading out of existence right in front of them and wondered if that was going to be their fate here and now.
