[David Lance POV] New novel chapters are published on

The fourth of July started like any other day.

During my time in this world of heroes and villains, many questions and mysteries have inhabited my mind free of rent, one of them being, what universe or iteration was I?

At first, the list of possibilities was simply endless, as the number of universes itself. There were simply too many things against me when it came to this particular question.

For one, while a fan of comic books and other forms of media similar to them, I wasn't particularly big on the subject, as in I didn't have much in-depth knowledge of anything comic-related.

I knew a lot, by normal standards, and to non-comic readers, but what I knew was considered in most comic circles nothing but common knowledge.

This limitation of knowledge, so to speak, would in this world come to be a big chain around my neck when it came to finding the answer to the question of what universe was the one I had been sent to?

That was point one against me. As for point two, well

Lack of events, or rather, lack of famous events.

By this, I meant that the events of my world, of my iteration, were simply too common, as in they didn't stand out from any other comics at all.

All comics, and universes, have a general line or event that makes them stand out, that makes them shine, and while the rest might remain the same for a vast array of reasons, there's always something that makes a universe in the comic world unique from the other.

Until today, that something that made this iteration unique from the rest hadn't appeared, at least to my knowledge.

You see, as I spend my day with Rachel doing nothing, the following events happened.

Batman and Robin defeated Mister Freeze, who was attacking parkgoers in Gotham City.

Green Arrow and Speedy defeated Icicle Jr. on a bridge near fourth avenue in Star City.

~Hmm, didn't know that was a thing, but yeah, I was right,~ I nodded, pointing at the building.

Before Raven could ask me to elaborate, CADMUS exploded in flames answering her question, with the entire structure being engulfed in fire, as the panicked onlookers on the streets watched as the flames spread out of the building, consuming everything in their path.

"Should should I be worried you feel happy with that happening?" Raven asked, pointing at the building while giving me a playful, yet not too playful worried look.

~You insult me! How can you think so bad of me?! But, no, you You really shouldn't be worried, that building is like a child molester, they both need to be burned,~ I replied with a nod.

"I can't argue with that logic," Raven replied, turning back to her seemingly emotionless self.

I blinked. ~You're not even gonna ask why?~

"Not really, I trust you, so yeah," Raven shrugged.

Well, that works for me.

~Very well now, how would you feel about fucking the plans of some evil organization before they even began?~ I asked, tilting my head.

"I find that idea excellent," Raven replied, a small grin on her face.

I smiled, turning my gaze back to CADMUS, just in time to see the future members of the Young Justice team appear to help the people around.

Robin included.

One would've thought he would've learned from almost killing us both from the Joker fiasco. But shit, it seems he didn't, I mean here he was, going against Batman again, for a mission, he was never given. AGAIN.

If there's any hindsight to this, is the fact the ones he's with know they are not on a mission, so not as bad as the Joker incident.

"That's the kid, right?" Raven asked, staring at Robin.

I nodded.

"I don't like him" Raven muttered, crossing her arms.

I smiled, pulling her into a hug.

"You have four seconds to stop this before I strip you naked and throw you into Harley's cell," Raven said in a joking tone I think.

I broke the hug before I could find out.
