A battlefield strewn with debris, smoke rising, the team catching their breath after a brutal clash with a powerful villain. You had just been slammed into the ground, but instead of staying down…

You rise slowly from the rubble, blood dripping from the corner of your mouth. Your expression darkens—then twists into a sadistic grin. There's a wild glint in your eyes. You liked that hit. You liked this fight.

The entire Young Justice team freezes for a second.

Robin (Dick Grayson): “…Was it just me, or did that smile do something weird to my brain?”

Kid Flash (Wally West): “Bro, I’m not gonna lie—I've seen some crazy stuff, but that? That was hot. Like, dangerously hot.”

Superboy (Conner Kent): grunts “They just got slammed into a building and came back smiling? That’s…intense.” He looks away quickly, jaw tight.

Miss Martian (M'gann M'orzz): telepathically to Artemis “Is it bad that I’m kind of into that energy right now?”

Artemis: mutters under her breath “Okay… definitely wasn’t expecting them to be the unhinged one… but I’m not complaining.”

Aqualad (Kaldur'ahm): raises an eyebrow, intrigued “Your spirit in battle is… formidable. And oddly captivating.”

Beast Boy(Garfield Logan): whistles “Remind me to never get on your bad side—and maybe take you to dinner after this?”

But, you all had better things to do instead of talking,you had a villain to take down.
