History Fanfic / WorstCaseScenarioClcman

* TheCavalry: The Justice League. [[UpToEleven Multiple times.]]

* AlternateUniverseFic: Unabasedly takes place after performance but before Usual Suspects, diverging heavily from there.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8034368/1/Worst-Case-Scenario Worst Case Scenario]]'' is an [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin aptly named]] [[AlternateUniverseFic AU]] ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'' fanfiction written by clcman. The story's divergence point is right before the last two episodes of the first season, as the Team is given a new mission a few days earlier to investigate some loose ends from the previous episode, "Performance". Then things ''[[{{Understatement}} go downhill]]''. [[FromBadtoWorse Fast.]] Complete, but a series of sequels [[WordOfGod is in the works.]]

* AllAccordingToPlan: [[spoiler: Zig-zagged. The Light's "Operation Guillotine" scheme absolutely did *not* go according to plan, and Lex Luthor actually yells at the Light for losing so many irreplaceable assets while accomplishing nothing. However, the Light's primary long-term plan, "Operation Pedestal," remains essentially unaffected, as Guillotine was a side mission to remove the Team from the board, and nothing more.]]
* AllJustADream: Rocket [[spoiler: suffers a particularly bad set of hallucinations thanks to Psimon.]]

** Black Manta, Sportsmaster and [[spoiler: Psimon]] are all fond of this, to varying degrees of success.
** Robin pulls off an impressive heroic example on [[spoiler: Cheshire and Tigress.]]

* ChekhovsGun: There is a continuity error in Chapter 13 with regards to the episode "Homefront." [[spoiler: The error is intentional, and a hint that Tigress is not quite who she says she is.]]

** Also [[spoiler: Greta Hayes, AKA Secret, who appears in order to help Zatanna fight off Tala.]]
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder / HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: [[spoiler: Artemis]] cannot seem to decide which side [[spoiler: she]] is on. In the end, it turns out that [[spoiler: Artemis is good, but the character pretending to be her for most of the story is bad.]]

* HumongousMecha: The Brain has one. He built it over a weekend, because he was bored. [[spoiler: The Justice League's heavy hitters take it apart pretty easily, as they've fought such robots before.]]
* AnIcePerson: [[spoiler: Mr. Freeze.]]
* INeverSaidItWasPoison: [[spoiler: Tigress]] trips over two of these, claiming [[spoiler: that her mother is dead when Artemis's mom is alive]] and [[spoiler: agreeing to Robin's intentionally faulty CallBack to an earlier episode.]] These are how [[spoiler: Robin deduces that she is not Artemis.]]

** First there's [[spoiler: Artemis]] who claims to be the mole, then claims to be [[spoiler: a FakeDefector]] only to [[spoiler: betray the Team [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder AGAIN]].]] [[spoiler: Her]] true allegiance is still up in the air all the way until [[spoiler: Chapter 68, when Robin reveals that she is an imposter.]] Even then, [[spoiler: the REAL Artemis briefly pretends to switch sides in order to get the drop on Vandal Savage.]]
** Then, there's [[spoiler: M'gann,]] who was blackmailed into providing information to the Light and [[spoiler: stealing Superboy's shields.]]
** There's also the matter of [[spoiler: Rocket and Robin, both of whom were psychically manipulated by Psimon. Rocket was the victim of total control, poisoned Zatanna and electrocuted Red Arrow. Robin was subconsciously guided into making poor decisions.]]
* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: Averted. Despite some early confusion with reviewers who believed this trope to be true, clcman has confirmed that he is male. [[spoiler: Unless he isn't.]]

* SequelHook: [[spoiler: M'gann still hasn't revealed that she's a white martian yet, the light is still moving at large with other plans, several prisoners escaping via "lifeboat protocol", and most importantly, in the first base the government found someone wrapped in a blanket with the Superman shield.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: Lex Luthor actually has one after the day/night is over. As he put it, the light, in trying to eliminate the "sidekicks" ended up losing 3 bases, 1 [[spoiler: dimensional portal device]], their Belle Reve operations, several supervillains, 2 lords of chaos and billions in investments. Needless to say, Lex wasn't happy about any of this.
* WhamEpisode: Several chapters count, in particular Chapter 11 [[spoiler: which reveals that Artemis is the mole]], Chapter 23 [[spoiler: in which the entire Team (allegedly) is killed off (see RockFallsEveryoneDies)]] Chapter 39 [[spoiler: where Artemis reveals that she ISN'T the mole]] and Chapter 52, where [[spoiler: Artemis betrays the Team. Again.]] Chapter 68 where [[spoiler: Robin reveals that Artemis and Tigress are two different people]] is arguably the main twist of the entire story.
* WhamLine: In Chapter 68: [[spoiler: Robin: "Where is the real Artemis?"]]
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: [[spoiler: Vandal Savage falls into the EvilGloating sub trope against Robin, Artemis and Kid Flash. Amusingly, he actually stated his intention to kill them immediately, but Robin distracted him. The narration notes that while this is "Supervillain Cliché #1", Savage probably invented it, and has been falling for it for centuries.]]
