Kid Flash is actually Inertia, Superboy's Match. Miss Martian's actually white, and Artemis and Aqualad's Dads are evil. In a less villianous example, Robin is Jason Todd.
You can do one of these or none of these, a 5 times thing or maybe just a really bad dream on behalf of a member. It doesn't really have to have them turning evil (Though obviously the KF and Superboy ones would involve some aspect of evilness) but rather secrets coming out into the light, or how they're dealt with. You don't have to use my suggestions, but it is my personal taste that mole stories and coming out stories are a bit overdone on this meme, so let's go beyond that. Though, to be fair, the whole Sportsmaster and Black Manta thing is done often as well.
TL;DR: A major theme in YJ is secrets, and hot damn do these kids have them.

And now his predecessor has a name. Not a designation, mind, but a name.
He wants one, too.
He wants and desires and longs for everything that Superboy has, everything he doesn’t. He wants with every fiber of his being, wants until it hurts.
So, when Desmond terminates his predecessor for sparing the intruders and activates him, he doesn’t hesitate for the chance to take everything that would have been Superboy’s from the dying consciousness into himself: his memories, his anger, his curiosity, the childlike wonder, all of it.
And then, when he stands up in defiance and frees the intruders, he becomes more than just a ( ... )

He runs from the past, from the future, and he runs from the truth.
It’s easier than stopping and facing who and what he is, the future that threatens to unfold and devour him and the friends he never knew he could have. It’s easier than admitting his friends are legends of history, so ephemeral and distorted through the eons that he hadn’t recognized them as the idols he’d so long admired when he’d first met them.
Sometimes, he thinks he’ll stay, but then he remembers that there’s already a Wally West in the past, a future Flash, and he wonders how long he’ll be able to keep using this name before the child it’s truly meant for appears.
When he appears.
If he appears.
In those brief moments he stops running, he thinks he already knows that he can’t go back to being a boy torn between legacies, a weapon meant to supplant and destroy his twin, all to better hurt the man he has come to call uncle. Something in him rebels against the blood of super villains in his veins and maybe it’s that other half of himself his ( ... )

It’s a smooth, flawless camouflage, on that her teammates and Uncle have never questioned, a fact she is secretly grateful for. Not that she likes keeping secrets, mind, but she supposes she’s just become used to hiding who she really is.
It’s safer this way, anyway. Being green, that is. And she likes it, being green, being seen for the person she truly is and not her caste. But still, there are times, like now, when she doesn’t want to hide, when she wants to be herself without hiding.
She could never even entertain the thought of it on Mars, but Earth is different. On Earth, it is possible. Only on Earth, where anything is possible, can she stop hiding behind this mask of green she’s crafted for herself and experience true freedom ( ... )

He doesn’t remember much from before Haly’s Circus. Maybe it’s because he was too young or too traumatized by the whole ordeal, or maybe it’s that he just doesn’t want to remember.
It’s easier to just forget there was ever a time before and focus on all the good times and happy memories of Haly’s and the family he’d been welcomed into, but it’s not like that’s without its own drawbacks. When he thinks of them, he remembers how he misses them all so much. He even misses his cousin John’s teasing, for God's sake. It had always annoyed him, but now when he thinks about it, it just aches. They weren’t just like family: they were family, like families were always supposed to be and some dim part of himself remembers he’d never known until the Graysons ( ... )

“Pardon?” Artemis says, leaning forward. “Did you just say what I thought you just said?”
“It’s complicated!” Kid Flash whines. “See, speedsters can run so fast we can travel in time and my grandfather, well, he’s a piece of work. He’s a descendent of Professor Zoom, big on the whole evil legacy of evil thing, and totally freaked out that Bart, my brother, ran all the way back to the past to become a Flash. So he cloned me and told me to run back and mess him up, but I… uh… kinda just went a little too far back and then the Flash, who’s really my grandfather by the way - did I mention it was complicated -, picked me up and I was like You’re totally AWESOME! And then he made me Kid Flash so I could keep using my powers and stuff, but ( ... )

“Nothing?” Kid Flash asks, pouting a little. “Aw, man, come on! We’re spilling our guts out here!”
Aqualad shoots him a warning look: “Kid Flash.”
“There was another me,” Superboy pipes up suddenly, frowning a little as he taps his temple with two fingers. “In Cadmus, I mean. A match for myself. We were linked.”
Everyone’s eyes widen. Both Robin and Kid Flash pale. Aqualad folds his hands on the table and somberly asks, “Is he still with them?”
“He was terminated while you were unconscious,” Superboy says. He squirms a little under the scrutiny and taps his head again. “But he’s still alive, up here. He’s a part of me now.”
M’gann puts a reassuring hand on his and sighs, “Oh, Conner.”
And just like that, there’s a mental link up and it’s full of hugs, warm assurance that things will be okay now and acceptance. They are, as one, Young Justice, secrets and all, and it’s liberating.Suddenly, a white and red blur streaks through the room, completely harshing their link, and comes to stop in the doorway, ( ... )

OH GOOD GOD
Did someone actually fill this? I'm the one who prompted this thing, and I completely forgot about it. But..but...
This was kind of amazing.
I mean, it was a bit more then kind of. It was completely amazing. And beautiful. And spine-tremorey. And Bart. And-and sadness and hesitation and oh god the fear you portrayed the emotions so perfectly. It was astounding. I was astounded.
Did you know that it is in my professional opinion that Bart is the greatest character, ever? And dude, was that last part mood whiplash, but I don't really mind because Bart.
