Young Justice: The next Generation

Fighting at school

Please leave a comment letting me know what you think so far

Monday afternoon Nathan and Mark sat in Gotham Academy's principal's office waiting room. They're uniforms were covered in dirt with a few rips in their shirts. They're hair was a total mess and they had a few scrapes

"We are so dead" Mark groaned

Nathan nodded "But at least Greg got what was coming to him"

The door opened and the 4 former protégés stepped out

"Thank you so much Principle Magee" Wally said stepping out

"Yes, it won't happen again. They'll get a stern punishment when we get home" Barbara said walking out followed by Dick and Artemis

As soon as the door closed they were alone in the waiting room the adults glared at their offspring

Nathan and Mark let out a nervous laugh

"You got in a fight, as civilians" Dick said

Nathan nodded "Yes but..."

Artemis cut him off "And you stabbed him with a pencil" she said toward Mark

He shook his head "I didn't stab him with a pencil I threw it at him and used it to pin his shirt to the ground it didn't penetrate his skin and it allowed Nathan to hit him"

Artemis narrowed her eyes at her son

"It's not like I used an arrow," Mark argued

Barbara sighed " You shouldn't ever use your skills outside of the field, you both know that"

"We didn't use our skills, Mark just threw a pencil at him it's not his fault he has good aim" Nathan said

Dick sent him a glare "Your principle said you punched him, multiple times"

Nathan rolled his eyes "I held back, like a lot and I even let him hit me a few times to make it believable" he said showing his dad a bruise on his cheek from where Greg had punched him.

Wally shook his head "You two shouldn't have done anything, you're lucky it's your first time ever getting in trouble and your principle is letting you off on a warning" he scolded

The door opened and Melanie stepped in

"I heard you guys were up here, do you mind if I talk to them?" Melanie asked gesturing to the two boys

Artemis nodded "Of course sweetie" she said kindly having now found out what happened at the dance. She kissed the top of Melanie's head and her and Barbara walked out of the room.

"We're still very disappointed in you two" Dick said crossing his arms

Wally nodded "Yes very disappointed. "But..." he continued him and Dick looked at each other and cracked a smile before turning back to the boys

"Way to show him!" Dick said high fiving Mark and Nathan

Wally nodded "Yeah nobody messes with our girl and gets away with it" he grinned also giving them a high five

"Dad, Uncle Dick." Melanie cut in

Wally smiled "Sorry, we'll just be out here" he pointed, they both walked out to join their wives

Melanie stepped into the room and sat down in the free seat across from the boys she stared at them for a moment

"I guess you heard about our fight with Greg?" Mark asked

Melanie nodded "It's only the talk of the school, you both know I can take care of myself, right?" She asked raising an eyebrow

Nathan nodded "yeah it's just, he deserved something" he grumbled

Melanie grinned she leaned forward and pulled a twig out of Marks hair "But thank you." She smiled brushing out her brother's hair with her fingers

She turned to Nathan "It's nice to know I have at least two teenage guys I can count on" she said as she buttoned a few buttons on Nathan's shirt that had come undone during the fight

She smiled and wrapped them both in a hug
