Justice League (New AU fic)
SUMMARY: Hard to say without giving too much of the story away.
Disclaimer: No BtVS characters belong to me, and so on and so forth and blah so there. Now I can’t get sued. Nuh
AN: This is predominantly a crossover/au fic, but I haven’t decided if I’m going to add some cannon in or not. The crossover is mainly the Justice League Unlimited. There is also a good bit of Yu Yu Hakusho. There will definitely be others but I’ll mention those as I go along. Also, this isn’t the fic I had originally wanted to post. I kind of did this one on a whim. I’ll probably put the other story I’ve been working on up as well. And I’m no good at writing third person so go easy on me.
THANX! And Feedback please. Let me know what I’m doing wrong and what I’m doing right!

Chapter 1: The Blackout Bank Robbery
With a resounding blast a chunk of the American Banking Headquarters in California was blown off sending rubble into the streets. Several cars were forced to swerve to avoid the bigger pieces of flying debris, resulting in car crashes all along the main streets. A blur of red could be seen amongst the crowd, rapidly moving through the cars and people stopping at the entrance to the building and peering in through the glass doors. The blur happened to be a young woman, wearing a form fitting state of the art deep red body suit complete with a matching utility belt and identity concealing mask. The woman herself had long red hair that hung loose and stopped close to her waist. Her name was Scarlet and she was the newest member of the Justice League.
After thoroughly assessing the situation inside she pressed a button on her utility belt and phased into the building, hiding herself on a balcony that overlooked the main floor.
‘Two men center, four circling the perimeter of the room keeping the crowd of people under control” she thought, running scenario after scenario in her mind trying to figure the best way to take down six people in the midst’s of a heist. Just when she decided upon a course of action, a puff of smoke appeared above the center of the room revealing a beautiful blonde woman, wearing a two piece black suit that revealed a good portion of her midsection and a matching black mask. She landed gracefully on the banks floor, right in between the two bank robbers in the center.
‘Shit’ the red uniformed woman mumbled to herself when she saw the blonde about to be tackled by the men. Before the redhead could react the blonde had performed a flawless spinning kick effectively dropping the robber in front of her leaving the other to be dealt with. As the blonde turned to fight the other robber she was punched by one of the robbers that had been around the perimeter of the room, followed by another punch from yet another robber.
Scarlet jumped down from her spot on the balcony to save the girl from what she presumed would be a terrible beating. She landed on the ground unnoticed by the robbers who were focusing on the blonde. Scarlet jumped and landed a quick kick to the closest robbers back driving him to his knees with a howl of pain from the man, before sending another kick to his head, knocking him out. Now the attention was drawn away from the blonde and onto her.
“You two take Red” One of the robbers shouted to two others, who promptly turned and began to engage Scarlet. She was doing fine against there assaults, but was more concerned with the other girl. However what Scarlet didn’t see was that after the initial blows the blonde had held her own, delivering punch and kick after punch and kick to the robbers. As the fights went on the blare of sirens could be heard outside announcing the presence of the police.
The black uniformed woman threw one of the robbers that had let his guard down slightly. He landed on Scarlet effectively forcing her down to the ground, both of them letting out a grown of pain as they landed. The robber that had been left fighting no one after Scarlet was knocked down withdrew a silver pistol that had been tucked away in the back of his pants and aimed it right at the blonde.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger a hand pulled his, causing his arm to go up aiming the weapon at the roof. A sudden reaction caused him to squeeze the trigger letting a high powered blast come out of the altered weapon. Massive chunks of cement came falling from the ceiling coming down right on a large grouping of bank employees.
“Move” the blonde yelled, speaking for the first time since entering the bank. Scarlet could only look on helplessly as she loosened her grip on the robber who had let off the shot. The blonde ran over to the crouching people, with lightning speed and intercepted the large piece of debris straining to hold it up long enough for the people to escape from under it. Sweat poured down her face and arms as she gritted her teeth in an effort to keep the cement aloft. After the last person had moved out from under the chunk of debris she tossed it to the side, away from any people, before returning her attention to where she had last seen the robbers only to discover they had all managed to escape while she had been distracted. The only person left from the previous fight was a slim redhead in a red suit.
“You let them get away” She seethed.
“What?” The redhead snapped out of her shock and looked around looking for the person this woman was talking to.
“Yes you. Who are you?” The blonde asked walking over to the redhead.
“I’m Scarlet” She responded feeling embarrassed and sheepish under this strangers gaze. “Who are you?”
“Pissed off. Do you realize you just endangered about a dozen people’s lives just now?” She fumed at Scarlet.
“Sorry, I was just trying to save you. He was gonna shoot at you, you know” Scarlet said snapping out of her stupor and defending her actions.
“Novice move like that” the woman huffed under her breath before resuming her questioning. “What are you, some kid who though they could play vigilante?”
“I’ll have you know I am fully registered with the Justice League”
“Since when?”
“Uh… yesterday”
The girls were interrupted by entering police officers inquiring about the events that had just taken place. Several officers scattered around to take statements while other’s collected evidence. An officer with graying hair and many stress induced wrinkle’s came walking up to the two.
“What happened here Panic!?” He asked with a heavy voice.
“The ‘Blackout Mafia’ were here trying to rob the place. They got away” the blonde answered turning away from Scarlet.
“They’ve been hitting places left and right the past few weeks.” The officer commented.
“Something’s going on” Panic! said running a hand through her blonde locks.
“But what?” The man asked, adjusting his shirt catching light on the badge that Scarlet clearly read as Officer Michaels.
“I’ll just have to find out” Panic! responded with an edge of determination in her voice. Just as she made this statement there was a static crackling over both Scarlet and Panic!’s earpieces followed by orders.
“Get back to the space station for a report in today’s occurrence” was what was asked of them in a mostly monotone voice. At the order Panic! started to leave but stopped by the bank’s entrance.
“Coming?” She asked, turning to look at Scarlet who ran to follow closely behind.

Chapter 2: Reports
After arriving at the Justice League’s Space Station and giving their reports of the robbery they each went their separate ways. Scarlet started walking around the station familiarizing herself with the area figuring she would be spending a great deal of time here. She didn’t make it very far before catching sight of her best friend The Slayer. She quickly ran up to her, embracing her in a hug.
“Hey, okay! Oxygen becoming an issue here” The Slayer joked. Scarlet quickly released her friend. “So whats up?”
“I just had the worst first day ever” Scarlet pouted at the memory of the day.
“What happened?”
“There was a robbery at this bank, so naturally I went. Then this girl showed up and she started fighting the bad guys but she looked like she was losing so I went in to help her. I got knocked to the ground then one of the guys pulled out this gun and was gonna shoot her so I got up and stopped him but he shot the ceiling. His gun was super powered or something cause it knocked this chunk of the ceiling out that almost killed some people. When it was all over the girl started yelling at me for helping and said that I was a novice, but I she thinks I didn’t hear her.”
The Slayer blinked at the large array of words that was just flung at her before she fully registered what had been said. Once she did she asked, “Who was this girl?”
”I don’t know. This cop called her Panic!” Scarlet answered.
“Wait, Panic! yelled at you.” The Slayer looked shocked at this bit of information.
“Yeah, why does that seem so strange?”
“Nothing it’s just… I know her and she’s always so, Zen. I mean I’ve barely heard her speak let alone yell.” The Slayer paused briefly, “Do you know who was robbing the bank?”
“She said it was the ‘Blackout Mafia’ or something like that” Scarlet shrugged.
“Hmm, that kinda explains the negative reaction on her part.” Scarlet just looked confused at this, “Don’t take it personal, k? Those guys work for Blood, I’m pretty sure he’s like her arch enemy, nemesis,” she paused trying to figure out which word was better suited for the two. “Anyway he’s this bad guy and they pretty much hate each other. It’s probably cause of that.” Scarlet looked doubtful so the Slayer continued, “How many times do I have to tell you, no one could hate you” Scarlet brightened a bit at her friends comment.
“Can we just go home?”
“Sure” The Slayer readily agreed, thinking that some best bud bonding and plenty of chocolate would be in order to cheer up her friend. They reach the small car like ship that would take them home and got in. “Sunnydale here we come.” Seeing that Scarlet was staring out the window, literally staring off into space, she went on. “Seriously Willow, you’ll be fine. It was just one isolated incident”
“Yeah, I know Buffy. I’ll just feel better once we’re home.”
Meanwhile on the other side of the space station, Panic! stood in a private room by herself, talking through a video phone.
“How’s your uniform holding up?” A middle aged blonde woman asked looking at Panic! through the screen.
“It’s in great condition. I’m trying to go easier on the outfits considering the last five got totally destroyed.”
“And the spell on it” The older woman asked, looking concerned. Panic! removed her mask fully revealing her face to the woman.
“It’s f-f-fine, I th-think, something might be w-wrong with it. Maybe m-m-making me a l-little too confident”
“Hmm, but you need all the confidence you can get. I’ll have a look at it later, which reminds me, when are you going to come visit young lady” The woman smiled giving away her gentle and caring nature.
“S-soon Mom, I promise”
“Okay Tara, why don’t you go home, get some rest. I’m sure you’ve had a long day”
“Okay, B-bye Mom. I love you”
“I love you too darling, bye” she smiled and waved before shutting the phone off. Tara stood in absorbing the silence that only space could offer for a few minutes before reluctantly pulling her mask back on and resuming that persona, at least until she could get home.
Next Time on “The Justice League”
