(Titans tower)
Naruto was in the common room, playing a card game with the others.
"I still say you're cheating" Cyborg said, as they continued to play.
"Yeah dude, cause there's no way you're that good" Beast Boy said with a nod.
"It's been 10 hands already, and Naruto has won them all," Terra said with a sigh.
"Is he doing some ninja thing to win?" Kole asked curiously.
"Guys I swear, I'm just that lucky" Naruto said with a sheepish chuckle, as he played his cards. "Jin," he said.
"Ok, but nobody is that lucky!" Cyborg yelled out.
"Yea, let's search him for some ninja tricks" Beast Boy said, as he turned into a mouse.
Cyborg took out a rubber glove, and put it on.
"Hey! I'm not into that crap!" Naruto yelled, as he backed away from Cyborg.
"You are all so immature," Raven said with a sigh.
"You love us anyway" Kole said with a smile, as she grabbed Beast Boy, and patted him on the head to calm him down, as he turned back to normal.
"Please friends, let's do something else, so we don't fight" Starfire said, trying to calm them all down.
"What about going to an amusement park? Or the beach?" Naruto said.
"Pfft! You just want to see Star in a swimsuit" Cyborg said with a scoff.
"Wouldn't you wanna see Pantha in one, if she was here?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow.
"He's seen that already. The pictures she sends, they are Muy Caliente" Beast Boy said with a laugh.
"I'm gonna kill you, you green freak!" Cyborg yelled, as he dove for Beast Boy.
Suddenly there was a flash of light, which engulfed them all and when the light was gone, the room was empty.
(?)
In a flash of light, the Titans appeared in what looked like a big room out of a Greece colosseum.
"Ok, what the hell is going on?" Naruto asked, as he looked around.
Cyborg looked at his wrist, which showed his scanners couldn't pick anything up. "Wherever we are, I can't find it," he said with a scowl.
Suddenly, in more flashes of light, more teen hero's appeared.
"We have company," Beast Boy said with a frown.
"Relax, it's my bro and his small team," Naruto said with a smile, as he recognized three of the figures, which were Nightwing, Batgirl and Blackfire.
"Sister! It is so good to see you" Starfire yelled happily, as she tackled her sister into a hug.
"Oh, so this is your team," Batgirl said, as she approached them with a smile.
"Yeah, this is my team," Naruto said with a smile.
"So, which ones your girlfriend?" Batgirl asked with a smirk.
Naruto groaned at this. "Kaa-chan told you?" he asked, as he slapped his face.
Batgirl smiled at this. "Yea, but she didn't say who though" she said.
"Yea, she said she wanted us to ask you, which one you're dating," Nightwing said with a grin, as he walked over.
"Yea, that sounds like Kaa-chan. "Well anyway, I'm dating Starfire," Naruto said, as he gestured to Starfire, who was still hugging her sister.
"Oh good, now I don't have to rip you in half for breaking her heart" Blackfire said, giving him a glare.
Naruto paused at this, before he looked at Nightwing. "She's kidding, right?" he asked.
"Nope," Nightwing said, as he shook his head at him.
Beast Boy looked at the other arrivals, and spotted a familiar face. "Hey Kitsukage, your Catwoman is here" he said with a laugh, as he pointed at Jinx.
Naruto gave a loud groan at this, as Jinx sauntered over to him.
"Hey whiskers. It's been a while" Jinx said with a mischievous smirk.
"I'm taken" Naruto said with a nervous grin
"That's okay. I don't mind sharing, since I'm bi" Jinx said with a grin, as she winked at him and Starfire.
Naruto blushed brightly at this.
"Ha! You hit the jackpot dude!" Beast Boy said, as he and Cyborg laughed hard at this.
"What is this pot of jack?" Starfire asked cluelessly.
"Sis, she likes boys and girls, and wants to pursue Naruto, and apparently you too" Blackfire said with a chuckle, as she liked Jinx's attitude.
"Oh! She wants to be a harem sister!" Starfire said with a nod of understanding.
"That - that's a thing?" Terra asked, surprised.
"Oh, indeed. Why do you ask?" Starfire asked curiously.
Terra was about to answer, before Raven covered her mouth with her powers.
"Nothing Star" Raven said, as she tried to stay calm.
"Oh, this is glorious" Cyborg said with a laugh, as he watched this.
"Yea, it's an anime come to life" Beast Boy said with a laugh, as they high fived.
"Oh, be nice," Kole said, with a shake of her head.
Before they could respond, Cyborg was pulled into a hug by the final hero that was here.
"Heya sweetie. Did you miss me?" Pantha said with a smile.
"Course I did Rosa," Cyborg said with a smile of his own, as he returned the hug.
"Welcome, young heroes!" a voice bellowed out, as a figure appeared on a throne up above them.
The figure looked like a yeti, with an amulet around his neck.
"I am the master of games, and I welcome you to the tournament of heroes!" he yelled at them.
"Do you have a real name, or should we call you M.O.G.?" Naruto asked him.
The figure chuckled at this. "M.O.G. will be fine" he said.
"So what's this tournament about?" Jinx asked with a curious look, as she stepped forward.
"Yea. Are there any prizes?" Beast Boy asked.
"This better not be to the death" Nightwing said with a frown.
"Now now, it's nothing like that. See, I like to view other realities, and I decided to see who the best up and coming heroes in your dimension are the best" M.O.G. said with a smile.
"So, this is just because you're bored?" Raven asked flatly.
"Pretty much. It gets so mundane, to just watch your dimension. So I decided to have some fun. Oh, and don't worry nobody will be hurt here, and you will of course win a prize if you win the tournament" M.O.G. said.
"If this is a tournament of heroes, then why is she here?" Terra asked, gesturing to Jinx with a frown.
"Well, let's just say she has a want to be a -" M.O.G. said, before he dunked as a hex hit the wall behind him.
"Mind your own business!" Jinx yelled, as her eyes glowed pink from her rage.
Naruto quirked an eyebrow at this, curious about what Jinx was hiding.
"Ok, let's start this tournament" M.O.G said.
"This isn't some tournament of power battle royal stuff, is it?" Beast Boy asked.
M.O.G. laughed at this. "No no. I'm actually gonna have you all fight one on one first, and before you ask, no I'm not gonna erase your worlds" he said with a friendly smile.
"You're an anime fan?" Cyborg asked with a raised eyebrow, surprised this guy understood Beast Boy's reference.
"I'm a fan of a lot of the fiction you mortals make. I gotta do something as an immortal" M.O.G. said with a smile.
"Which is your favorite so far?" Terra asked curiously.
"Can we just do this tournament already? I want to see how strong I am, compared to these other heroes" Pantha said, punching her knuckles together.
M.O.G. nodded at this. "Very well. Let the first round of battles begin!" he yelled out.
The group of hero's were then engulfed in another flash of light, and when the light faded they were gone.
(with Pantha )
Pantha threw a punch at Blackfire, but the Tamaranian princess blocked it with her elbow, before sending her own fist across Pantha's cheek, knocking her back a bit. Blackfire charged in with her first raised, as the wrestling heroine raised her arms in an x-block, as she took on the attack head on. Blackfire and Pantha grit their teeth as they struggled against one another.
(With Kole)
Kole smirked, as she flipped back avoiding Batgirl's batarangs. The time spent training with Naruto had been a big help, with her being able to avoid them. The female knight of Gotham smirked, impressed with her little brother's teammate, he had been training them well. With that, she came in punching at Kole's chest, but the girl's body soon crystallized on the impact.
A chibi Batgirl cried, jumping up and down holding her bruised hand, while Kole simply laughed.
(With Nightwing)
Nightwing smirked, as he easily dodged the charging Beast Boy in his elephant form, landing atop his back, before jabbing him with his stun batons. Beast Boy roared in pain at this, before transforming into a lion next. But once again, Nightwing was prepared, having faced many of these beasts in his time at the circus, and on missions. He pulled out a pellet from his belt, and tossed it at Beast Boy, engulfing him in a massive cloud of purple smoke as he pounced at him. The green teen soon returned to human form, as he fell to the ground with swirling eyes.
(With Cyborg)
"Try this on for, size big guy!" Terra shouted, sending off numerous boulders at Cyborg, who held up his arm, firing sonic a blast blowing, them away.
"Gonna need to do a lot more than that!" Cyborg challenged with a smirk, which Terra returned.
Terra slapped down her hand on the ground, pressing down hard, making the battlefield they were on start trembling and making it hard for Cyborg to maintain his balance as well, from the mini earthquake his friend was causing.
Terra soon looked over behind her and concentrated, closing her eyes.
While Cyborg was trying to steady himself in battle, he didn't notice several large rocks approaching up from above.
"And this is checkmate," Terra said with a grin.
"Hmm?" Cyborg said, before he saw a shadow above him, and looked to see several boulders above him.
"Uh oh..." Cyborg said as he attempted to run, but suddenly he looked down to see his legs...were stuck!?
"I wasn't shaking up the land to cause that miniquake. I did to soften it into mud, to keep you in place for this!" Terra shouted, as she dropped down the rocks.
Cyborg screamed, as the rocks fell down on him one by one, forming into a stone prison.
(with Naruto)
Naruto avoided a kick to the face from Jinx. She then kicked at his chest, knocking him back, before she swiped at his head, but Naruto blocked with his forearm while kicking Jinx back.
"You're way more alert now, since we met whiskers," Jinx said with a smile, as she threw some hexs at Naruto, which he dodged.
"Well, I would hope so. Do you have any idea how much crap I have gotten, because of you getting one over on me?" Naruto asked, as he continued to dodge more hex blasts.
"Well, at least I'm getting compared to Catwoman," Jinx said with a wide smile.
"I'm surprised, since apparently you want to be a hero. Or at least, you wanted to be one at one point" Naruto said, as he threw some shuriken at her.
Jinx scowled at this. "Hey, that goat loser doesn't know me alright?!" she growled out, as she cartwheeled to avoid the shuriken.
"Hey, I'm just curious. Why are you so defensive?" Naruto asked her.
"I'm not defensive! I'm a villain, period!" Jinx yelled, as she threw a large hex bolt at Naruto.
"Bullshit," Naruto said, dodging the hex bolt.
"What?!" Jinx yelled in a rage.
"I said that is bullshit. Sure, you're a thief, but you have never hurt anyone. And from what I have seen so far, you're more Catwoman level, and would take out a worse villain, if said villain was gonna do something really bad" Naruto said with a shrug.
Jinx paused at this, but growled as she fired another hex at Naruto.
But Naruto was instantly in front of her, and grabbed her hands then in a fluid motion, he judo flipped her and slammed her hard on the floor.
(With Starfire and Raven)
Starfire and Raven were staring each other down, as they floated in the air.
"Let's just get this over with," Raven said with a sigh.
"Hold on, friend Raven. I want to know why you have been so cold and angry at me" Starfire said with a frown.
Raven's black aura flared up around her, as his cape waved with the wind, while her eyes were glowing bright red, before a second pair appeared above them.
"Aaaaaaraaaaah!" Raven shouted, as her dark energy surged through her body, flying at Starfire, while fire rocks erupted from the ground, forming into sharp jagged edges like spears, as she sent them at Starfire, who desperately tried to dodge it, as Raven fired off attack after attack her way.
"Die! Die! Why won't you just die!" Raven shouted, as she shot at Starfire.
The alien heroine gathered green energy into her fists, before firing them off at Raven.
The two raised their fists, smashing them into each other, causing surges of green and black lighting to erupt around them.
Starfire grit her teeth, as her eyes glowed green, while Raven snarls with her eyes glowing red.
"It must be great living your little dream world, where everything goes your way and is filled with smiles" Raven yelled in a rage, as she continued to attack.
"I don't understand why you're so angry at me!" Starfire yelled, as she threw more starbolts at Raven's shadows.
"You really don't understand do you? That's what makes me hate you even more!" Raven yelled, as she sent shadow tentacles at Starfire.
"I can't understand, unless you tell me!" Starfire yelled, as she was actually upset that something was hurting Raven so much. She flew through the air, as she did what she could to avoid getting caught by the tentacles.
"It's because you took him from me!" Raven roared out.
Starfire paused at this, as her eyes widened in realization, before Raven's tentacles finally struck her in the back.
"The first rounds are over!" M.O.G's voice announced, as in a flash of light, Raven and Starfire disappeared.
(Back with M.O.G.)
Everyone appeared back in M.O.G's chamber.
"You all did very well in the first round hero's" M.O.G. said, as he showed images of the winners of the first rounds of fights.
Naruto, Blackfire, Terra, Nightwing, Kole and Raven.
"Wow, I feel like we didn't even fight" Cyborg said, as he moved his arms
"Of course. When the fights ended I healed you all, in addition to bringing you all back here" M.O.G. said with a nod.
Blackfire saw that Starfire was standing nearby with a frown, as she looked at Raven and Terra, who were ignoring her and talking to the others.
"Hey sis, you ok?" Blackfire asked, as she flew over.
Starfire looked at her sister with a frown. "I'm not hurt sister, but I just found out why my friend Raven, and I think Terra, have been less friendly to me lately" she said, as she looked at her two friends, and then to Naruto who was talking to Nightwing.
Blackfire looked at Raven and Terra, then at Naruto. "Oh…I see" she said with her own frown.
"I don't want to lose my friends, but I don't want to lose Naruto either" Starfire said to her sister, as she wrapped her arms around herself with an upset look.
"Well, you could do what I do with Nightwing and Batgirl. But that may be harder for you three, since before that can happen, you will need to mend fences with them first" Blackfire said.
Starfire nodded at this. "Indeed. I would be more than happy to share with my friends, since they obviously love Naruto too" she said.
Blackfire smiled at this, as Starfire was very kind and always tried to understand people. "I'm sure that you will fix it sis" she said, as she patted her sister on the shoulder.
Starfire smiled at her sister with gratitude. "Thank you sister" she said, as she hugged her.
"Though, before you start this, your friends should probably tell Naruto they like him. Can't exactly fix this, if he's clueless" Blackfire said with a chuckle.
"Indeed. Boyfriend Naruto needed me to kiss him, before he understood how I felt" Starfire said with a giggle, and a sheepish grin.
"Oh, wow. So he's that stupid?" Blackfire asked curiously.
Starfire punched a wall at this, as she lightly glared at her sister, leaving a big dent in the wall.
"Hey! No damaging my stuff!" M.O.G's voice yelled out.
Meanwhile, Terra was talking to Raven.
"So, you actually told her?" Terra asked with a raised eyebrow.
"What makes you think that?" Raven asked flatly.
"Because she's looking at both of us, looking conflicted. Which means that she probably figured out that I like Naruto too, so thanks for that" Terra said, with sarcasm lacing her words.
Raven scoffed at this. "I don't need her pity," she said, as she crossed her arms with a scowl.
"Well, maybe we should consider the whole harem thing that Blackfire brought -" Terra whispered, before being interrupted.
"Oh please, that kind of nonsense won't work" Raven said with a shake of her head.
Terra looked at Nightwing, who was talking to Batgirl and Blackfire, who seemed to be talking to each other happily.
"It seems to be working for them," Terra said, nodding her head towards them.
Raven looked at Naruto's brother and his two girlfriends, and felt that they indeed seemed to love each other.
(With Naruto)
Naruto walked over to Jinx, who was leaning against a wall.
"Keep on walking, whiskers," Jinx said with a scowl.
Naruto held up his hands in a peaceful motion. "Look, I wanted to apologize for calling you out so harshly," he said to her.
"Is that a fact?" Jinx asked with a raised eyebrow, as she was curious what his angle was.
"Look, what I meant to say was that I get the feeling that you would do better as a hero, and that while you're a villain, I don't get an evil vibe off you. If anything, I feel that you hold back a lot" Naruto said, as he walked closer to Jinx.
Jinx looked at Naruto for a moment, before she chuckled. "You like to see the good in everything, don't you whiskers?" she asked him.
"I like to find the good that's there, and I can see a lot of good in you. Oh, there's mischief in there too, but there's also good in there too" Naruto said with a small smile.
Jinx laughed at this, but not in her usual mischievous condescending way. It was an actual genuine laugh. "You have a way with words whiskers. No wonder girls fall for you" Jinx said, with a sideways look towards Terra, Raven and Starfire.
"Yea, Starfire - wait, girls? As in plural?" Naruto asked with a confused look.
Jinx laughed harder at this. "Oh my God, you are so adorable" she said, before she started to giggle uncontrollably.
Naruto pouted at this. "Girls are weird" he thought.
["You don't know the half of it kid"] Kurama said with a large grin.
"Ok heroes, I've decided how we're gonna handle this last round. We're gonna have a free for all, with the remaining heroes and the last one standing, will be the best fighter of all" M.O.G said.
"A free for all. How kinky" Blackfire said with a smirk, before Nightwing poked her in the forehead.
"You all will fight on a floating arena, which will slowly shrink as time passes. If you fall, you'll lose. And no flying or levitating allowed, so I will be blocking that ability for this round" M.O.G said to them.
"Sounds like what happened in Dragon Ball Super, with that tournament of power thing" Beast Boy said.
"Yup, though thankfully, there's no Jiren here" M.O.G. said, with a smile at Beast Boy.
"Yea, though I think we have a Goku" Cyborg said with a snicker, as he pointed at Naruto.
"Hey! I'm not that dumb!" Naruto said with a pout, as he crossed his arms.
Meanwhile Raven and Terra sweatdropped and sighed at this, while Jinx giggled some more at how clueless Naruto was.
In a flash of light, the 6 heroes vanished.
"My money is on whiskers," Jinx said with a wide grin, as she folded her arms.
"Oh, this is the betting right?" Starfire asked curiously, as a screen appeared in front of them, showing an arena standing in a black void, and the 6 heroes starting to fight.
"Indeed, it is. Are you betting on Naruto too?" Jinx asked, deciding to play nice with Starfire.
"Oh please, it's not worth the bet. Naruto will win, he's trained with the bat and has Kurama to help in a pinch" Beast Boy said, with a dismissive wave of his hand.
Cyborg scowled at this, and smacked the shapeshifter in the back of the head. "Hello, ixnay on jay on talky Kurama jay" he said, speaking in pig Latin while gesturing to Jinx.
"Oh, I wonder what you're saying," Jinx said with a flat tone, not impressed with their attempt to cover their conversion.
"Huh, Kole is actually giving Star's sister trouble" Pantha said with an impressed look, as they watched Kole and Blackfire clash physically, but Blackfire's star bolts did nothing, but fuel Kole's blasts from her wrist blasters.
"Is her durability that high too?" Batgirl asked Cyborg curiously, as they saw Kole turn into full crystal, as Blackfire tried slugging Kole in the stomach, but it did nothing.
"Yup, she is pretty much unbreakable, according to Cys scans" Beast Boy said with a smile at his girlfriend, as she attacked Blackfire again.
"Looks like Naruto and Nightwing are having fun" Starfire said with a smile, as she watched her boyfriend fight his brother, but they were both smiling.
"Uh, I think that Terra and Raven may be trading up," Jinx said with a chuckle, as the screen showed Terra slamming her fists on the ground, making a wave of earth that tossed Kole and Blackfire into the air.
Raven then used her magic to grab them both, and throw them out of the ring.
As Blackfire and Kole fell, they disappeared and reappeared next to the rest of the heroes.
"Hey! This was supposed to be a free for all!" Blackfire yelled out.
"Teaming up is not against the rules" M.O.G. said with a chuckle.
Beast Boy ran over to Kole, and helped her to her feet. "You ok?" he asked.
Kole smiled, and nodded. "I'm fine sweetie," she said.
Blackfire paused, and chuckled at this. "You better treat her right elf. She's tougher than she looks" she said, as she winced while waving her hand slightly, since she still felt pain from punching Kole, while she was in her crystal form.
"It looks like Terra and Raven are trying to jump Nightwing and Naruto now" Cyborg said, as the screen now showed Nightwing dodging Raven's attacks, and Naruto throwing kunai bombs at Terra boulders.
"Friend Terra may have a problem with Naruto, since he's the one who taught her all she knows," Starfire said.
"Unless she did some secret training, that Naruto doesn't know about," Beast Boy said.
"Sadly not. According to boyfriend Naruto, Terra looks forward to training with Naruto" Starfire said with a small smile.
"And yet, that idiot doesn't get that she likes - woah!" Blackfire yelled, as she caught a punch from Starfire.
"Don't call him an idiot!" Starfire yelled, as her eyes glowed green.
"Looks like Nightwing has Raven figured out" Batgirl said with a smile, as the screen showed Nightwing throw a gadget at Raven, which covered her mouth.
"Yea, that ain't gonna work, since she learned some new tricks" Cyborg said, as he shook his head.
Raven was then shown glaring at Nightwing, as she channeled her magic and silently cast her spell, which grabbed Nightwing and threw him towards the edge.
As Nightwing fell off the edge, he pulled out his grapple gun and fired at Raven, which caught her by the foot.
Nightwing then activated his grapple gun's reverse mode, and pulled Raven towards him, which caused her to fall with him and to disappear in a flash, and reappear in the room with the other heroes.
"Not bad with the silent spell, but not good enough" Nightwing said to Raven, as he offered her a hand to help her up.
Raven said nothing, but let Nightwing help her up, before she pointed at the gadget on her mouth, and glared at him.
"Hold on Rae, I got ya" Cyborg said, as he grabbed the gadget and pulled hard.
Raven winced at this, before she composed herself and rubbed her cheeks. "Ow" she simply said, before she looked at Nightwing. "Why did you take me with you?" she asked him curiously.
"Well, I don't think Naruto could take both you and Terra, so I wanted to help him out," Nightwing said with a shrug, as he took the grapple off Raven's foot and wound it up.
"Aww, still the big brother" Batgirl said with a chuckle, as she patted him on the back.
"Looks like you gave Naruto the opening he needs" Backfire said with a smile, as Naruto threw a flashbang in Terra's face, before he slammed a Kurama enhanced punch into the floor, and made the floor Terra was standing on to fall away.
Terra fell and in a flash of light, disappeared and reappeared in the room with the others.
"Damn it, I didn't expect him to play dirty like that" Terra said, as she rubbed her eyes.
"Ninja" Beast Boy said simply.
"Yea, ninjas wrote the book on playing dirty. Well, them and pirates" Cyborg said with a nod.
"Nerd" Pantha said with a chuckle, throwing her arm over Cyborg's shoulder.
M.O.G smiled, as in a flash of light, Naruto appeared in the room. "Well, it seems that you're the winner, young Naruto. Congratulations" he said with a smile, as he clapped his hands.
Naruto smiled sheepishly, as the others lightly clapped for him.
"Now, as the winner, you get to ask me for anything, so what will it be? And don't worry, I won't punish you for being selfish" M.O.G. said with a chuckle.
Naruto nodded at this, as he thought for a moment. "Well, I don't really want anything. But, there is something I want to know" he said.
"And that is?" M.O.G asked curiously.
Naruto frowned slightly at this, as he thought about what he couldn't find info on. "Who killed Dr Light?" he asked him.
M.O.G. frowned at this, as he nodded before he snapped his fingers, and showed an image of someone talking to Dr Light.
Naruto paused at this, as some of the others froze at this.
"Dude," Beast Boy said with a frown.
"Oh, that's not good" Cyborg said, as he knew that this villain was most likely gonna be a big problem.
Jinx frowned, as she looked at the image. "Oh great, this psycho," she said unhappily.
Everyone looked, and saw what looked like an image of Harley Quinn, laughing at the footage of Dr Light's head exploding and the Titan's reaction.
{"Oh please! It's not like that Demon isn't used to a little blood, after what he did to my pudding!"] Harley yelled, as she laughed maniacally at Naruto.
This caused everyone, but Nightwing and Batgril, to pause in surprise at this.
Naruto frowned at this, as he looked at his team and the other heroes (and Jinx).
"So that's what happened to the clown" Jinx said with a scowl at the memory of the Joker's legacy.
Naruto turned to look at M.O.G. "Hey, can you send us all back to the tower?" he asked him.
M.O.G. nodded at this. "You should know, there is more to why Miss Quinn is doing this, then you think" he said, before he waved his hand and made them all disappear in a flash of light.
(Titans Tower)
"Wow, nice tower," Jinx said with a smile, as she looked around.
"Hands in pockets," Raven said flatly, as she pointed at the couch.
"Spoilsport" Jinx muttered, as she went and sat down with her arms crossed.
"You didn't tell them?" Batgirl asked with a frown.
"Obviously not. The League made it clear that I should keep it to myself" Naruto said with a sigh.
"Well yea, but I figured you would have told your team, with how much you say you trust them" Batgirl said, as she folded her arms while raising an eyebrow at Naruto.
"So you actually killed the Joker?" Cyborg asked with a frown, as they all looked at Naruto.
"Well, it wasn't intentional. But….yes, I did" Naruto said with a sigh.
"Well, we are willing to listen, right?" Kole asked, as she looked at the others.
Everyone nodded at this, as they all sat down, so that Naruto, Nightwing and Batgirl could explain.
Naruto nodded at this, as he sat down on the couch.
"Well, it all happened a few years ago, when I was still Robin. One night, I was patrolling on my own, and I heard this lady in trouble" Naruto started saying.
"And let me guess, it was Quinn setting a trap?" Raven asked with a glare.
Naruto nodded at this. "She got me with her mallet. And the next thing I know, I wake up in old Arkham, with Joker saying that he wanted to make me his heir, after he breaks me and puts me back together" he said.
Terra saw Naruto clench his fists at this. "What did he do?" she asked, dreading what the answer would be.
Nightwing scowled at this. "That bastard tortured him, trying to break his mind" he said.
Starfire gasped at this, before she flew to Naruto and hugged him tight.
"Star, I'm fine," Naruto said with a chuckle, as he returned the hug.
Raven's eyes widened at this, as she clenched her fists.
"That bastard deserved to die!" Rage roared, her voice going demonic from her anger.
"Dude," Beast Boy said, as he frowned at this information.
Pantha scowled at this. "Hijo de puta espero que haya sufrido!" she yelled
"Yeah, what she said" Jinx said with her own frown.
Terra nodded at this, as she calmed herself.
Kole looked confused. "What did she say?" she asked.
"She said that she hoped the Joker suffered" Cyborg said.
"Guys, don't worry. I'm fine. Anyway, he tortured me and eventually it called out Kurama" Naruto said with a hard look.
"Oh. Ohhhhhhh" Cyborg said in realization, as he remembered what Naruto said, about how if Naruto called out too much power, he would go nuts.
"So that's why old Arkham is a crater" Beast Boy said with a nod.
"Uh, for those of us that don't get it, what the heck is Kurama?" Jinx asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yea, what is that?" Kole asked.
"Well, long story short, he's a ….spirit that is sealed inside Naruto," Raven said, deciding not to say demon, so they wouldn't scare Kole, and because she didn't trust Jinx.
"Yeah. The next thing I know, I'm waking up in the JL watchtower in the medical bay, and I'm being told the Joker is dead" Naruto said.
"And Bats let you leave Gotham after that?" Blackfire asked, leaning against a wall.
"Well, after me and him talked, and he helped me learn some peace of mind stuff, he was ok with me leaving" Naruto said, as Starfire was still hugging him, while crying. "Star, I'm ok. I promise" he whispered to her, as he patted her on the head.
Starfire looked at Naruto, and let Naruto go before she whipped her tears away.
"So, I'm gonna assume that Quinn is here, to try and get even with you?" Raven asked with a frown, as she folded her arms.
"That makes the most sense," Cyborg said with a nod.
"Yea, especially since Clayface is a friend of hers. So we may be dealing with more friends of hers too" Naruto said.
"If we are gonna deal with her, then you're gonna need to find a way to track her down, and find out what her plan is," Nightwing said, leaning against the island in the kitchen.
Jinx's eyes widened at this, before she went to raise her hand. But hesitated, before she raised her hand. "Uh actually, she sent me an invite to join her crew" she said, getting everyone's attention
"Really? When?" Naruto asked her.
"A bit after Lights attack with that robot. She said something about wanting to help build up the next generation of evil, but she screamed way too crazy for me, so I ignored her" Jinx said.
Naruto smiled at this. "Knew it" he said, giving her a knowing look.
"Zip it whiskers" Jinx said with a scoff, but the ghost of a smile on her face.
"That was weeks ago though. Do you think she will still let you join?" Terra asked curiously/
"It can't hurt to try," Beast Boy said with a shrug.
"Normally I wouldn't be ok with something like this, but I have a better idea than risking Jinx's life," Naruto said with a smile.
"Oh? Are you worried about me whiskers?" Jinx asked with a mischievous smile.
"Uh (cough). Anyway Jinx, can I trust you to at least tell Quinn you're interested?" Naruto asked, as he composed himself.
Jinx looked at Naruto, and then his team before she sighed. "Fine, I'll ask her to set up a meeting and I'll keep you updated" she said to him.
"Cool. We can keep in contact" Naruto said with a smile.
"How?" Jinx asked with a cocked eyebrow.
Naruto pulled out a communicator, and handed it to Jinx, whose eyes widened at this.
"You may not think you have it in you to be a hero, but I think that you do so here" Naruto said, as he placed the communicator in Jinx's hand.
Jinx looked at the communicator, before she looked at Naruto in surprise. "H-he trust's me" she thought to herself.
"I'll escort you out" Raven said, as she grabbed Jinx's hand, and led her towards the exit.
"I'll keep in touch," Naruto said with a smile.
When Raven got to the door to outside the tower and they were alone, Raven looked at Jinx.
"What?" Jinx asked with a raised eyebrow.
Raven glared slightly at her. "Look, Naruto trusts you, so I'm gonna give you a chance…..don't waste it" she said, making her voice more demonic, as she opened the front door and pushed Jinx out of the tower, before she slammed the door shut.
"Such a charming personality, that one" Jinx said sarcastically, before she left.
(A few days later)
Naruto was in the towers training room, doing his special training with Kurama.
["Hey brat, I gotta ask; what is your plan for the clowns groupie?"] Kurama asked curiously.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked curiously, as he stopped training for a moment, before he went to get a drink.
["I mean, what are you gonna do to stop her from getting anyone else killed?"] Kurama said.
Naruto paused at this, as he scowled, knowing what Kurama was getting at. "I'm not killing her, to make my life easier" he thought at Kurama.
["Feh, yea that tactic worked so well for Bats and the Joker, didn't it?"] Kurama mockingly said.
Naruto growled at this, as he knew Kurama had a point. But he knew going for the kill wasn't what he wanted to do. "Harley isn't the Joker" he thought with a firm tone.
["True"] Kurama said back, as even he had to admit the Joker was worse than any demon.
Suddenly, the door to the training room opened, and Cyborg came in.
"Jinx is on the phone. She said she has info that she will only share with you" Cyborg said to him.
"Thanks Cy" Naruto said, as he walked past Cyborg out of the training room.
Naruto soon entered the common room, and saw everyone else waiting for him, while on the TV screen, they saw Jinx who seemed to be on a rooftop.
"How did it go Jinx?" Naruto asked her.
Jinx smiled at this, and shook her head. {"It went without a hitch. She gave me information on who from Gotham she had on her side"} she said.
"Why would she tell you that so easily?" Raven asked with a raised eyebrow, as she folded her arms.
{"She wanted to try and show off a bit, trying to impress her 'new recruit' apparently"} Jinx said, making air quotes.
Naruto rolled his eyes at this. "And that's why Joker was the brains of the two" he said with a sigh.
"Yea, well anyway, here's the list of villains I sent to Cyborg. And I'm actually impressed she got these guys on her side" Jinx said, before another screen lit up next to the holo screen, and showed several images.
One was a female with red hair, wearing a green dress that seemed to be made of leaves, along with green gloves that went to her elbows and boots that were just below her knees.
"Of course she got Ivy to join her" Cyborg said with a sigh
"Well, they are supposed to be best friends," Terra said with a shrug.
"Yea, going on a crusade for revenge? I'm thinking there's more to it, since Ivy is strictly into causes to protect nature" Naruto said with a sigh
The next was a giant shark man, wearing ripped pants.
"Oh, come on Nanaue, I thought you were staying out of trouble" Naruto said with a frown of disappointment.
"You know this man of sharks?" Starfire asked.
"Oh yea. I encountered him before, and tried to teach him what friends are. He's like a little kid mentally, so Harley must be manipulating him Naruto said
"Huh, sounds like the Hulk. Where he's a little kid, with quite a temper when angry" Beast Boy said.
"Yea. Nanaue is more controllable than Hulk. Last I heard, he was with my sis on the way out of Gotham" Naruto said.
"Sis?" Kole asked
"Well, she treated me like a little bro" Naruto said with a chuckle, before he turned to the next picture
The third was a man wearing a white suit that had different coloured dots all over it.
"Oh jeez, he's a problem" Naruto said
"Pfft, really? Over the shark guy?" Beast Boy asked with a giggle.
"Don't let the name fool you. Those dots are actually mini dimensional portals that can cut through anything. So avoid his attacks at all cost, otherwise your swiss cheese" Naruto said with a hard tone.
{"Good to know. I was gonna make a crack about him doing kids parties"} Jinx said with a slight grin.
"Yea, cut him a break. His power isn't his fault. Blame his mom" Naruto said with a scowl.
"Why should we blame his mother?" Raven asked curiously.
"His mom was a Star Lab's scientist, obsessed with making a superhero out of her own kids…..he was the only survivor" Naruto said, as he clenched his fists tightly.
Raven frowned at this, as he looked at the Polka Dot man, and saw sadness in his eyes.
"It looks like she sprung Clayface out too" Terra said, as they saw the last picture.
"Ok, so we know her team. Any idea what her plan is?" Naruto asked Jinx.
{"No, not yet. But I'm meeting her later, so I can see her base and she can tell me her grand plan,"} Jinx said.
"Ok, we can do that. But we need a way to follow after you, without Nanaue smelling us" Naruto said, as he knew if they followed too close, then King Shark would smell them easily.
"Is there any magic we can use to mask our scent?" Kole asked Raven.
"I can keep us in my shadow self, as we follow from afar. King Shark won't be able to smell us" Raven said.
{"Well, I'm going to meet her in an hour, so be ready. Here's where I'm meeting her, so don't leave me hanging"} Jinx said, sending them the coordinates for the meeting.
Naruto nodded at this, as the image of Jinx was replaced by a map of the city, which was marked.
(With Harley)
Harley was with her team, as they overlooked her men putting the final touches on what looked like a giant vat of some green serum.
"I still don't know why you wanted me to develop an aging accelerant, that will work on something that's not a plant Harley" Ivy said with a raised eyebrow.
Harley grinned evilly, as she pointed towards a container that looked to be from a military compound.
"Let's just say that I have a pet I want to have grown up quickly" Harley said, as she removed the sheet on the container, showing the words Project: Starfish.
Harley started to laugh hard, as her men were almost done with the accelerant.
