Chapter 2: Chapter 2
[3rd Pov] [Location - Arkham Asylum]
Within a small cell, our protagonist lay, sweat was caking her form, as her body was assimilating the new power gained from the character. Her body began to slowly change, slightly at least. Certain aspects of her body were improved, namely her physical capabilities, and even her appearance.
Her fingertips were warped and changed, as a new ability developed on them. Finally, while unconscious, knowledge flooded into her brain. Helpful knowledge from Cindy Moon, which wasn't much that was helpful, but there was still a decent bit that could be of use.
Slowly her unconscious formed stopped sweating, and the girl began to slowly open her eyes with a soft groan. Sitting up slowly, the girl groaned slightly 'That felt a lot worse than I was expecting' she thought, as she looked over her body, noticing only small changes.
The most notable difference she found, was that she now had eidetic memory, and she was fairly certain her webs were now improved, having barbs at the tips, and even having two other types of webs she can shoot from her wrists/fingers. This being the insulated webs, that are insulated from electrical attacks, and the porous webs that are a sort of air-cushioned web, that if her new memories are correct, could safely catch even something as big as a crashing helicopter.
'Hmm, these webs are pretty neat. I would have preferred a character with more martial arts experience, but this is good too. My new silk sense is really good too, I basically just have spider-sense but on a bit of crack. Hopefully, the next character has a bit more experience in martial arts' The girl thought, before stretching, hearing the soft pops as she did so.
'Alright, I guess it's time to look at my status'

'So I'm the same age as when I died, huh...' The girl now known as Gwen, hummed, before noticing the slight AU. 'Slight AU?'
on her bed with a sigh. A slight trickle of sweat went down her forehead. 'About what I expected, the martial arts is definitely the biggest problem. I can almost feel how inexperienced I am. So the chances of me defeating Batman in pure martial arts is literally zero.' Gwen thought with a sigh.
Her martial arts was... disappointing to say the least. In terms of senses/instincts alone, she'd be fine against most foes, but in terms of martial arts? Yeah...she was pretty shit. But, thankfully, the system will be able to help her in that regard. Not to mention her own training, as the knowledge is good and all, but due to her having a different body than the characters she gets the knowledge of, she has to adapt that martial art knowledge, to herself,
which can take time.
For now though, she decided to finish the rest of the Justice League Founding book. She had read most of it the previous night, mainly thanks to her eidetic memory, and already impressive intelligence. Sitting back down, with her back against the wall, she read through
the book.
'About the same as what was explained in the show, but with more detail. Basically, they all came together during the Appellaxian invasion in 2003. The league didn't reveal itself until 2004, which is also when it got slightly bigger, and when their first base, Mount Justice, was found by the Joker, causing them to change bases' Gwen thought.
'The book was actually not bad, besides the obvious bias towards the league. They didn't even
point out the sheer amount of civilian deaths, and damage caused by the league' Gwen sighed. She wasn't the biggest fan of the Justice League, or DC in general, she was more a Marvel and Avengers or X-men kind of gall.
'If I do join Young Justice, as I am already expecting, then I'm definitely going to be butting heads with the league over the no-kill rule. Cause there is no way in hell, someone like the Joker should even be alive right now. Better yet, how has he not gotten the death sentence yet?' Gwen inwardly thought, as she realized that the man had literally killed hundreds if not thousands of people, and yet he still hadn't gotten the death sentence.
'Probably Gotham corruption or the Caped Crusader himself is stopping any sort of execution' she thought, realizing that Batman was entirely against the idea of killing the psycho. 'Well...I guess that'll be a problem when/if I get there' Gwen thought with a shrug, deciding to drop
the subject for now.
'For now, though, I just need to survive until I get out of this shithole'
Grabbing the other book, she slowly opened it, and began her second reading session. Gain access to an

That's the end of the chapter. The next chapter will either be the same length or shorter.
Finding a picture for Gwen was a pain in the ass, so I just used two that you can imagine her as
a combination of.
I am absolutely awful at action scenes, so bear with me as I have them show up. This fic is going to have a lot of them, so it'll be like practice for me too.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed the chapter! Point out any mistakes! See you tomorrow!Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
