Captain America immediately recognized the group as being affiliated with the Justice League, he remembered Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad, though the others he had never seen before. Normally Captain America wouldn’t interfere with the Justice League, but these were teenagers up against Solomon Grundy and they weren’t fairing too well. Agreements be damned, Captain America threw his shield and knocked down Grundy before he could attack a struggling Robin. All of the teens looked at him with wide eyes and he could hear Kid Flash gasped, “Holy crap, Captain America!”
And without another word about it, he helped the group take down Grundy. Afterwards though, they seemed a little uneasy by his presence and Robin was the one who spoke up about it.
“Hey Cap, not that we don’t appreciate the help, but aren’t you supposed to not get involved?”
“Dude, who cares? This is Captain America!” Kid Flash hissed at his friend. “Do you think he’ll give me his autograph?”
Captain America just smiled a little and shrugged. “I never consented to the agreement made by Nick Fury and the Justice League.”
“The rumors are true, he has been around Iron Man too much,” Artemis whispered.
Aqualad glared at her and then nodded at Captain America. “Right, this is off the books. Thank you, Captain.”
Kid Flash was at Aqualad’s side instantly and said into his ear, “Ask Cap to give us autographs!”
But their off the books arrangement was suddenly null and void by the appearance of Superman. The Man of Steel had obviously come to clean up the mess that the group of sidekicks were in and lifted an eyebrow at the sight of Captain America. Now there was no doubt that this would be reported to Fury and Steve was never going to hear the end of it. The rules were clear, the Avengers stayed out of Justice League business and the League stayed out of the Avengers’ way. Only a couple of times in recent history had the Avengers and the Justice League combined forces to save the world. For Tony that was far too many interactions with them as he called the League a bunch of pompous asses. Steve rather liked them, but Tony said that Steve liked anyone who wasn’t a Nazi. Still, that didn’t mean they weren’t good people.
And Superman seemed to be one of the best. Not only in strength and abilities, but he was a good man. Or that’s what Captain America thought anyway.
“Captain,” Superman said his name without a hint of hostility. If it had been anyone else from the Avengers there would have been, but there seemed to be special exception for Captain America, apparently being a decorated war hero counted for something.
“Superman,” Captain America said back with a nod. He slung his shield over his back and was prepared to leave when a blur of yellow and red appeared in front of him and Kid Flash held out a pad of paper and a pen to him.
“Could you make one out to Kid Flash, another to Robin and one to Artemis?” Kid Flash glanced over at his team and Aqualad looked at him expectantly. “And one to Aqualad. Actually, include Miss Martian and Superboy too, don’t want them to be left out.”
Captain America smiled politely and took the offered pen and paper, signing the individual sheets and tried to come up with personalized messages. They were all really good kids. As he made out his autographs, Captain America overheard a hushed conversation between Superman and Superboy.
“Superman, I was wondering-”
“Not now, I need to take Grundy into custody.”
“Yeah, but about my powers-”
“Not. Now.”
The words came out so clipped and annoyed that Captain America could hardly believe that they came from Superman himself. Superman hastily made his exit with Grundy, not bothered that he was leaving a team of teenagers with a member of a rival group, even if it was Captain America. Superboy stood there, his hands in fists and his jaw clenched. Then Superboy jumped into the air and disappeared into the night.
“Poor Superboy,” Miss Martian murmured.
“Superman is not aster, not at all,” Robin shook his head.
Steve stood there shocked, not sure what to make of the situation, but filed it away in his mind. He needed to get home anyway, it was movie night with Tony.

Seriously, though, I adore your characterizations. Tony and Steve are just so perfectly in character, as is everyone else. If Young Justice really was a crossover universe, I could it playing out exactly like this. <3

I've probably been thinking about this too much, but maybe the Avengers are more of a national organization while the JL is ostentiouly more of an international one? I got the impression that (at least from the DCAU) that leaguers tend to be in other countries way too much for a superhero org associated purely with one country. It could also be an explanation for why they can't really interact a lot to avoid even more bias. (Yeah, SHEILD is supposed to be international too, perhaps they're more low key or not really international)
