[Flashback]
[Batman Interview Kevin]
Batman, the enigmatic guardian of Gotham, stood stoically before the newly hero, Kevin. his cape cascading like a shadowy waterfall behind him. Kevin has heard about Batman, the legendary protector of Gotham City, stood in front of him in his iconic suit, cape billowing behind him as he to interview a potential new member of The Team.
Kevin White stood across Batman, his demeanor a mix of determination and a tinge of nervousness. At just 18 years old, he had been thrust into a world of heroes and legends. his expression a mix of determination and a hint of nervousness. At just 18 years old, he was about to face the sternest interrogation of his life.
-Kevin POV-
"Have a seat, Kevin" Batman said to me while crossing his finger and looking at me.
"Yes, sir" I Arched my back and walked toward the seat and sat there. I Am nervous as hell.
"Worry not, this is no interrogation, so relax."
I breathe in and out slowly stabilizing my racing heartbeat, and I nodded at him soon he begins questioning or he calls it simple talk.
"I need to make a profile, and for that, I need to know about you, your power, etc." I nodded in return.
"Name"
"Kevin White, Alter ego 'Omni'"
"Age"
"18"
-Third Person POV-
Batman started with the most pressing matter. "The Omnitrix. It's a formidable device. How did you come to possess it?"
Kevin took a deep breath and began to recount the story that the god has created for him. "I found it few weeks ago. It crashed to Earth, and I stumbled upon it while exploring an abandoned laboratory. It bonded to my wrist, and since then, I've been using its powers to help people."
Batman's line of questioning shifted to Kevin's powers and limitations. "The Omnitrix grants you a vast array of abilities through alien transformations. What are its strengths and weaknesses? And how do you control it?"
Kevin explained some of the Omnitrix's capabilities which 10 years would know, highlighting some of the multitude of alien forms at his disposal.
Batman stepped closer, his imposing presence casting a shadow over Kevin. "Good. Now Tell Me. Why do you want to join The Team?"
Kevin didn't hesitate. "I've seen a lot of injustice in this world, Batman. I've used the Omnitrix to help people in my own way, but I believe that with The Team, I can make an even greater impact. I want to be a part of something bigger than myself."
Batman's scrutinizing gaze never wavered. "Tell me about your experiences as a hero. Any significant missions or adversaries you've faced?"
Kevin recounted his brief yet eventful journey as a hero. He spoke of thwarting a bank heist, rescuing a trapped construction worker, and a daring encounter with a group of thugs. Each story was delivered with a sense of earnestness and determination.
"Your actions were commendable," Batman admitted. "But The Team is more than just a group of heroes who fight villains. It's about teamwork, discipline, and a dedication to the greater good. Are you willing to follow orders, even if you don't agree with them?"
Kevin hesitated for a moment, thinking about his independent nature. He knew that being part of a team required compromises, but he was determined to make it work. "I understand the importance of teamwork, and I'm willing to follow orders when necessary. But I also believe in speaking up if I think there's a better way to handle a situation."
Batman listened intently, assessing Kevin's responses. "You've had your share of encounters with danger," he acknowledged. "But The Team deals with threats that are on a different scale. Are you prepared for the challenges that come with this level of responsibility?"
Kevin's resolve didn't waver as he replied firmly, "I know it won't be easy, but I'm ready to step up and do whatever it takes to protect people."
"It is not that I choose to be a hero for fun or something, I choose it because a certain someone reminded me that with Power comes great responsibility and that you cannot run away from it," Kevin said solemnly looking at batman. There was few second of silence until batman broke the silence with the 'Huh'.
As the conversation continued, Batman delved deeper into Kevin's background, his motivations, and his understanding of the world of heroes and villains. Kevin answered each question with unwavering determination, showing that he had thought long and hard about the responsibilities that came with being a hero.
Batman's line of questioning shifted, delving into Kevin's moral code, ethics, and commitment to justice. The young hero answered each question with sincerity and conviction, determined to prove himself worthy of joining The Team.
After what felt like an eternity, Batman finally seemed satisfied with Kevin's responses. He stepped up from the table and approached the young hero.
"The Team faces formidable adversaries," Batman said, his voice softer than before. "But it also offers an opportunity to make a difference. If you're truly committed to our cause, you will have my support."
Kevin's heart swelled with gratitude and relief. To have Batman's approval was a tremendous honor and a validation of his journey as a hero.
"Thank you," Kevin stood up said sincerely. "I won't let you down."
Batman extended his gloved hand, and Kevin shook it firmly, sealing their agreement. "Welcome to The Team, Kevin White."

[Present]
...
"Do you have a mission for us?" Kid Flash speed walk toward him and asks.
"Mission assignments or the batman's responsibility" Red Tornado in a stoic manner of voice and demeanor.
"Yeah, well the batman's with the Robin, doing the dynamic duo thing in Gotham. but you are headed somewhere, right?" Kid Flash said in a goofy smile.
"If we can be of help." Aqua in his calm demeaner said to red tornado.
Wally and the other young heroes ask if he has a mission for them as Batman being back in Gotham City fighting crime with Robin.
…
Red Tornado turned around while out replying and walked upto the computer and after typing showd a picture. "This is Kent Nelson, a friend. he is 106 years old guy."
"Doesn't look a day over 90" Kid Flash whisper to artemis.
"He has been missing for 23 days. Kent was a charter member of the justice society the precursor to some of your mentors Justice League". Said Red Tornado
"of course, Mr. Nelson was earth sorcerer supreme. he was doctor fate." Said the Aqualad, while firmly looking at the legendary hero picture.
Although not an official mission, Red Tornado tells them about Kent Nelson's disappearance, and that he used to be a hero named Doctor Fate in the Justice Society of America.
…
Kid Flash again whisper to artemis "more like doctor fake guy knows a little advanced science dumbledore would up to scare the bad guys and press the babes."
Wally reveals to Artemis that he is immediately skeptical about Nelson's magical powers, guessing it's all science and misdirection.
Red Tornado further tells the team that Kent is the guardian of the Helmet of Fate, a powerful artifact.
Kent may simply be on one of his walkabouts but he's caretaker to the helmet of fate the source of the doctor's Mystic might, and it is unwise to leave such power unguarded.
Miss Martian remembering her hometown "he's like the great sorcerer priests and priestesses of Mars I would be honored to help find him."
Kid Flash to impress his recent crush, "me too so honored I can barely stand it magic rocks." He even volunteers to help when he thinks it will impress Megan, herself a believer.
Kevin who was standing awkwardly while red tornado explain as it is his first mission briefing moment, near kid flash and artemis, he hears kid flash whispering to artemis about not believing in magic but later volunteer to the mission.
Kevin whisper at Kid Flash with a stern look. "Dude, this mission involves magic, something you've always been skeptical about."
Kid Flash shrugged and whisper back. "Chill Dude, Although I don't believe in magic. But I'll get the job done."
...
"Take this it is the key to the tower of fate." Red Tornado provide team leader with the key to Kent Nelson's Tower of Fate in Salem.
Few Minute Later, Kevin in his New Hero Outfit (Created via the use of Grey matter and Upgrade) and New Hero Name as "Omni".
They were ready to leave in the Bio-Ship toward Salem.
...
AN: This is written because some said that and I quote "mc introductions seems fast they had no questions or any suspicions especially considering the Omnitrix and the mc background I don't see batman or even the green lanterns not be curious and paranoid about such an unknown." When after thinking about it, we deliver this to you all.
When writing previous chapter, We were only think that because blue beetle wasn't questioned when when he had that awesome Scarab.
