A/N: The Young Justice Abridged Theme might be the start of every chapter unless I find the real Young Justice themes. I just love the abridged theme because its so awesome.

This story begins on Earth-21. You'll know when it shifts to Earth-16. Updates will be scattered and may take some time so please forgive me. Also, I have no idea when I'll work on "The Benevolent Thief" again. I think I'm going to change the cover because I want to keep Nightclaw as he is, not turn into Nightwing unless it works.

Ignore the days unless you feel like they're necessary. I just find it sort of helps me. Also, remember that some of the terms in here are made up and are equal to some things in our world such as RedCast = Youtube.

Central City | December 11|
20:34 EDT — [08:34 PM]

It was a nice night in Central City.

The city lights illuminated through the dark skies and the usual traffic had declined. Dozens of people were at S.T.A.R Labs, waiting in anticipation for the opening of the newly finished particle accelerator. Protestors were gathered on the sidelines, their signs bobbing up and down as they yelled various messages.

Barry Allen—CCPD's forensic scientist and adoptive father of Richard John Grayson—was a huge fan of Harrison Wells and the particle accelerator. The science behind it amazed him to no end, and after three whole years of waiting, the project was finally being opened. He had recently been in the building, listening to Harrison Wells's speech, when his friend, Iris West, was robbed of her computer. Iris returned home, upset and stressed, while Barry returned to the CCPD.

On his makeshift desk, near his computer sat two photos; one of his mother and father together with him, the other of him and Lisa Snart hugging a 5 year-old Richard Allen while Leonard was in the middle behind the two other adults. Now Dick was 7 years old and learning to fight. He was focusing on being a law enforcement officer, something that Leonard and Lisa both disapproved of. Barry was not particularly ecstatic about his son's decision either, but he would support his kid in any way possible, unless he was doing drugs.

Outside of the CCPD, a heavy storm brewed and showered onto the streets of Central City. Lightning lit the sky and thunder shook the air. Barry grabbed a chain that acted as a pulley for the window on top of the CCPD forensic lab, and pulled to close the window shut.

Behind him, the different colored fluids on a nearby shelf began to rise out of their containers against the pull of gravity (or whatever). The sky over S.T.A.R Labs had turned into a circling cloud of fire-colored energy, with a yellow-orange beam feeding it. It was only a matter of seconds before a bolt of lightning struck the chain and traveled down to Barry, jolting him away from the chain and into the metal shelves that held the chemicals. A red-yellow streak ran up the inside of his head and his foot, mixing with his blood and muscles. His DNA was mutated; his body slowly changing to manage his new found power.

"Mom! I'm going to go check on the generator!"

Richard John Allen, otherwise known as Dick, ran down the stairs, relying on his iVex* for light. The power had gone out a minute ago, followed by a loud, distinct crack of thunder and the flash of a nearby lightning bolt that ripped through the sky. Observing the heavy storm and partly being raised by his aunt Diana, princess of the Amazons, Dick commented, "The gods must be angry. I wonder what has upset you, Lord Zeus."

Dick walked over to the generator and checked for damages to the machine. To anyone else, it would be a bizarre sight, seeing a child outside in a heavy storm with nothing but his sweat-clothes and summer shoes on, but Dick wasn't thinking of it.

He didn't notice the sky turn an orange-yellow overhead, nor the fire orange-gold lightning bolt that was headed directly at him and the generator. He screamed as a white pain suddenly hit between his shoulder blades and lightning buzzed around him and the generator, which intensified the electric shocks that ran through his body.

He was thrown back into a tree as the generator exploded into flames, but the lightning did not cease to course through his body. Painful shocks ran in every inch of his body and visible electric currents were pulsing ever-so-often around his skin.

How he was not dead or even unconscious, Dick did not know. But he was scared. He couldn't move no matter how hard he tried, the shocks pulsing in every body part he tried to move.

Unknown to him, his heart was beating faster than 100mph, causing his blood to pump faster. It roared in his ears and overshadowed the rumbling thunder. Finally, he began to fade out, the thunder echoing quietly and the last thing he heard was someone calling his name.

S.T.A.R Labs | Central City

Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow were repeating a daily routine they had been on for a month and 5 days. Their boss, Harrison Wells, had retrieved a comatose Barry Allen from the Faith Hills Central City Hospital, a week after the particle accelerator explosion. Then they received a call from Leonard Snart, saying that he and his sister needed help and his nephew was in a coma after being found near the destroyed generator at the side of the house.

As it turned out, Leonard Snart had acquired ice powers where he could reach absolute zero, and his sister, Lisa Snart was given gold manipulation and avian powers. Cisco had freaked out when he tested Dick's temperature and found it to be at an alarming level of 115° and rising.

They tried to first warm him up but it resulted in the opposite of what they wanted. Caitlin suggested Leonard use his freeze power to cool his nephew down. The powered civilian was hesitant until Dick began to cry in his coma, the heat becoming too much for him. So Leonard made a cold bed and pillow for his nephew to lay in; creating a sheet of ice to cover the raven-haired boy.

With Leonard's help, Cisco created a specialized cooling room in the previously renovated hospital wing, where Barry was stationed. The block of ice that Leonard had made for Dick could not be lifted so he had to carry him into the cold room. An IV drip was inserted into his arm while a heart monitor was placed on his finger.

That had been 7 weeks ago and they were still waiting for either Barry or Dick to wake up. To pass the time, Lisa and Leonard helped Cisco and Caitlin look for other meta-humans, though most of them were either confused or they knew what they were doing and it was dangerous.

May 15 | S.T.A.R Labs |
Central City | 06:27 EDT

A black darkness.

Dick felt peace. Something he's wanted since the death of his family. There was no distinct bang of fired guns nor the screams of his tortured family. No disgusting man who's hands ran out his small body. Lips never touched his neck; teeth never bit down to draw blood. No fists pummeled his skin. Knives weren't dancing upon his flesh.

There was nothing but the tranquil darkness.

A smile visibly stretched across his lips, his once brilliant blue eyes still closed. The lightning had changed so much, including his eyes.

S.T.A.R Labs was mostly empty, except for Barry and Dick. The latter was awakening from his long-term coma, and became scared at the unfamiliar room he was in. He was cold...too cold.

Hoisting his legs over the edge of the bed, Dick made a move to leave but felt a painful tug at the skin in his right arm. Looking back, he found that the needle of the IV in his arm had been taped down, preventing the risk of it falling out. Dick ripped the tape off and ever so gently, pulled out the IV drip. He then unclipped the heart monitor, making it flatline with no pulse to feed it. The loud blare echoed through the building, scaring Dick again. He quickly found the outlet where the heart monitor was plug in, and yanked the cord out of the socket. The heart monitor went black and to Dick's satisfaction, the loud noise was gone too.

Dick opened the glass door and cautiously looked out into the room, observing his surrounding. The sound of a constant 'beep' attracted his attention to the prone body laying on a white gurney near his room.

"Dad!" Dick ran over to Barry and climbed on to the chair beside his father. He took his right hand and linked it with the blonde's left. Barry made no sign of awakening and it caused waves of anxiety to shoot up Dick's spine. "Come on, dad. You need to wake up. Please. Wake up." Dick gently nudged his father's shoulder before giving up. He slumped down on Barry uncovered chest and fell asleep, his small body adding little weight to the comatose man.

And that was how Caitlin and Cisco found him. They were stunned the kid was already awake and his temperature was a normal 49.3°X (98.6°F). Caitlin went to call Leonard and Lisa while Cisco stayed, trying to wake Dick up.

"Hey kid. Come on. He won't be awake for a long time." Cisco wrapped his hands around Dick's limp shoulders and carefully picked him up. The kid was hesitant to get up. His eyes opened; Cisco gasped. They were a stunning mix of rich sapphire and sparkling peridot. A faint wall of holy gold was in the background, creating the perfect visage of a god.

"Who are you?" The voice was hoarse and quiet, but Cisco could hear the trace of a soft melodic tone. 'Oh...I am so not turning into a damn pedophile.' Cisco thought, shutting off the weird assessment of the boy.

"My name is Cisco Ramon. I work here at S.T.A.R Labs." Dick's eyes began to droop in exhaustion. "I'm tired. I want my dad." Cisco sighed and swapped gazes with Caitlin. He was about to put Dick back down on Barry when Lisa came running in. She was crying happily and quickly held her little boy in her arms. Caitlin cooed at the sweet sight and Cisco looked on with a hint of strange jealously.

Leonard stepped in to the room with Dr. Wells, the two watching as Lisa carried the boy. Dick seemed to be sleeping until he spoke, "Mom? How am I awake? I was struck by lightning."

Lisa was stunned and embraced the boy closer to her body while looking at Leonard and Dr. Wells. The two were sharing glances with Caitlin and Cisco. Dick was looking at his mother's despaired expression.

"Mami? Ce s-a întâmplat?" During the years, Dick had taught his three family members to speak Romanian. Lisa looked down at her adopted son and softly spoke with a fake smile on her face, "Nothing, micul meu Robin." She ran a slim hand through his hair, coaxing him to sleep. The kid moaned and drifted into a dream, one of lightning and his dad. Caitlin slowly approached Lisa, her eyes focused on Dick. "Let's go and put him in bed. He doesn't need to be put in that freezer anymore. He has a normal temperature."

The two women and boy exited the room, leaving four men behind although one was still in a comatose state. Cisco was the first to break the uncomfortable silence, saying, "That isn't normal. I mean I've never heard of any one being able to survive a lightning blast, no less a child."

"Well, Barry Allen is also another survivor of a lightning bolt, Cisco." Wells added, bring his left hand up to pick at his teeth while his right arm rested across his mid-ribs.

"Dr. Wells. He was next to a burning generator when my sister found him. She said that he was checking out the generator when the power went out. The next thing she hears is a loud thunder crack, my nephew's scream, and the generator explode in a loud boom. She's never been so scared in her life. I've never heard her sound so frightened for anybody until that night when she called me. And yes here he is, moving and alive. After being struck and electrocuted, you'd expect him to at least have burns or still be in pain. Barry is still in a coma and Dick's awake." Leonard spoke with ferocity, cutting fear into Cisco's heart. Dr. Wells just stared at him with a thoughtful expression.

"Mr. Snart. The only conclusion we have is that Dick is a meta-human." The statement only added fuel to the fire roaring in Leonard. He yelled in anger and punched the nearby wall, causing Caitlin to scream in fright as she was the closest to the innocent wall.

"Lenny? What's the matter? Is this because Dick might be a meta-human?(A/N: wow she is so freaking smart, isn't she?)" All Leonard could do was nod. He was anxious for his nephew, the dangers of being a meta-human at such a young age.

"We'll help him, right?" Lisa turned to the three S.T.A.R Labs scientists. They nodded and Caitlin said, "Of course. It was our invention that caused this to happen. The best we can do is help you all learn to control your abilities and keep all of you safe." Cisco nodded which reassured Lisa and Leonard that everything would okay. No one caught the malicious smile that spread across Dr. Wells' face.

A/N: So originally I was going to have a time skip but I felt it was vital so...yeah. Next chapter, Barry is going to be in a coma. He only has 4 months left in a coma for a total of 9 months and five days. So Dick is going to Gotham City. Maybe.
