Jack Ryder: "First up, it's been a rough week for The Justice League as reports confirm that someone inside Mount Justice leaked highly classified files, putting covert team missions at risk. Batman is conducting a full investigation, and the team's on edge. Who's the mole? Rumors are flying, but no one's talking—not yet. Stay tuned!"

Jack Ryder: "In other news, Star City has seen a surprising surge in tech thefts. Green Arrow's sidekick, Artemis, was spotted on the scene—some say a little too close to the action. Sources suggest she's been on the defensive lately. Could there be a connection to the mysterious Shadow Group spotted near the docks? Word on the street is, The League of Shadows might be moving in on her turf. The plot thickens!"

Jack Ryder: "Meanwhile, The Reach—a seemingly friendly alien race—has announced their arrival on Earth, promising peaceful cooperation. But trust me, folks, when aliens start talking diplomacy, something's bound to blow up. Stay alert, as the Young Justice team remains on high alert. Blue Beetle's powers are acting up, and it looks like they might be tied to The Reach's arrival. Coincidence? I think not."

Jack Ryder: "And lastly, whispers are spreading of a new criminal mastermind forming in Metropolis, codenamed 'The Light.' No one knows who's behind it yet, but it's clear they're pulling strings from the shadows. Even Superman's raising an eyebrow at this one. Sources suggest they're responsible for orchestrating major villain team-ups—so expect the unexpected, folks!"

Music fades out, and the broadcast ends.
The young man sighed and matured. Everything is really exciting except for my life.
Riding the motorcycle, a rural mountainous area appeared in front.
Parking the bike the young man stood in front of a Cliff looking up into the sky at the countless Star's.
He took off his helmet revealing short brown hair styled in a casual way.
He was wearing a white jacket with green stripes and brown pants.
Looking up at the sky, where is it?
Looking down at his wrist there was a watch showing the time. he matured, where's my Omnitrix?
Yeah where's my Omnitrix? Aren't I supposed to have an Omnitrix.
Yes I am what you call a transmigrater .
I was really surprised , I was 5 when I found out hey I have lots of memories of someone else, I was confused I mean like I thought it was someone else but slowly I realized Hey it was actually me from another word from another lifetime so yeah The memory's didn't come suddenly , it was more like it was always there I just couldn't understand it maybe it was my brain that was not davolapt enough or maybe my soul.
I never remembered meeting any old guy who calls himself god or anything nor did I get any Chets, I don't even know how I died? Maybe I subconsciously don't want to remember that, I mean everytime I think about it, it just doesn't feel right.
But one of those times when I was thinking about it I remembered something or ,more like I realized something .
I am living in a comic book or more like, I live in a world where superheroes are real because in the memory of my previous life superheroes only excited in comics, movies, Manga,& novels and the world I live in is the DC universe where superman,batman & wonder woman live although superman didn't become a superman yet but the city's like Gotham, metropolis, central city are all in this world.
So I wanted to know more about my previous life's memories and then I realized I was kind of a loner. I didn't like to interact with many people, the so-called introvert.
It just felt exhausting , and also I liked cartoon's,comics, moves, anime's,& novels, and one of my favorite cartoon was Ben 10 and guess what my name in this world is Benjamin Kirby Tennyson, in short Ben 10 in DC but Ben is not supposed to be in DC universe right, .
I was in shock then excited. I mean come on I am Ben Tennyson the greatest hero in the universe and I would get an Omnitrix so I waited and when I was 10 my grandpa Max and cousin Gwen and I got together for a road trip that was supposed to change my life forever. But, it didn't, the day of the camping the meteor that was supposed to bring the Omnitrix to me didn't appear nor did a robot come looking for it.
The road trip continued and nothing happened,
I thought maybe someone else got it but no other alien hero appeared , well not really because The Man of steel the beacon of hope, The God among men Superman appeared more like started to act like Superman and then Batman wonder woman was always there since world war 2 and many more heroes revealed themselves but everything has a other side, with heroes came villain's the world became exciting but my life stayed the same boring without the Omnitrix I am nothing.
Most of the memory's of my so called previous life are like dream's to me now.
And like most dream's I keep forgetting it bit by bit but the fact that I am Ben Tennyson and in a world where comic book super heroes exist in real life it stays with me.
I just remember the original Ben from the cartoon Ben 10 classic but not when he grew up. I have some memories of there being another show but I don't think I saw it.
Maybe I didn't see it or maybe I died before I could see it who knows.
I tried self defense classes but sigh .
Looking up at the sky that was filled with countless Star's,
He said out loud, can I really be a... hero?
Yes you can.
Suddenly he heard a very familiar voice from behind him.
Turning around he saw a very familiar looking young man, a 10 year old girl and a mature guy in his 30s coming out from a blue spiruling portal .
Your?
I am Ben Tennyson .
