Crime Alley

[anonymous]

Young Justice accidentally travels back in time (Klarion?) and end up in Crime Alley. They stop a mugging--it's the least impressive bit of crime-fighting they've ever done. But when they get back the world's gone to seed: No Batman, no Robin, no sidekicks. M'gann has no friends, Superboy never got out of Cadmus, Roy's a junkie, and Dick's been passed along from foster home to foster home. Lex Luthor's president. And among all that, Bruce Wayne is a happy, well adjusted industrialist. He's married and has children. Robin knows, for the good of the world, he's going to go back and ruin Bruce's life. Worse, none of the other YJ people know why he's so upset about it.

Bonus points if at the end Robin confesses it all to Batman or Superman.
Super Bonus points if Robin's then able to track Joe Chill down and sends an anonymous tip to the GCPD.

Okay, firstly, I'm so sorry at how long it's taken me to write this.

Secondly, I'm so sorry for how far afield I went, and how many other prompts I pulled in here. This is basically an attempt to reconcile YJ-canon with both comic canon and all the All-Star universes, including Batman and Robin, so yes, this fills Batman punching Crazy Steve in the face. I'm a canon/continuity nerd, so feel free to ask me if there's something I refer to that confuses you or that you wanna know more about.

I'm not sure if this still even really fills your prompt, and I do hope you get another, more appropriate fill, but, in the meantime, here we go.

A Tale Of Many Dimensions in Five Parts, Based Entirely On T. S. Eliot's The Hollow Men.

and in conclusion, I'm still so, so sorry.
Except for how I'm totally not.

Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats’ feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

M'gann is a little late to the meeting, but she arrives carrying a tray of cupcakes. She moves around the table, handing them out. Kaldur's is chocolate brown with little black swirls, probably meant to be his Waterbearers, and he thanks her quietly. Superboy's is black with the red S, even if the letter's a little crooked. He stares at it for a while, and then pokes it. Frosting sticks to his finger, and he looks at it, bewildered

It takes about a week before Batman has a location, and by the end of that time, the rest of the team can see the ghosts, too

Once upon a time, there was a boy. He's like a lot of other boys, only for some reason, he has many stories. This is one of them. His story starts back and back, but ours starts here, tonight, at an old, stately manor, under the moon and touched by the wind. And, on this particular night, if you listen very closely, you can hear the sound of him not-crying into his pillow, and the crackle of him reassembling his little broken heart, and the way he whispers Mom, Dad, I'll fix your city, I'll get you justice

He throws a party for his birthday, one year. Okay, more like Alfred throws a party and he just signs his name on invitations and things. There are pretty boxes and prettier girls, all in bright colors. He smiles and laughs, and drinks lots of ginger ale while the guests quaff the very expensive champagne. He has to duck out for an hour or two to deal with the Penguin, but he’s back in time to say his thank you‘s and his good night’s.

Nobody comes to Wayne Manor anymore, and that’s just the way he likes it. He still makes the expected appearances at charity balls and the annual society bashes, but he drinks a lot and leaves as soon as he reasonably can. The smiling mask sits too uncomfortably over his face.

And then, one night, he goes to the circus.

Superman saves a schoolbus full of children from crashing into the bank and pounds the jillionth robot into the pavement. Hmm, he thinks, must be a Tuesday.

Superman knows he’s dying, and he feels weak and powerless. But he’s not dead
