Wes Mardon is dead. He's a villain. Does that make it any less tragic? Surely the League shouldn't be out in force just for the death of a villain.
Iris picks up her gun as someone knocks, Bruce of all people got it for her. He knew with all of the Rogues' legacies something like this incursion would happen. She answers the door, expecting a friend dragging Barry home or the like. Clark and Diana are there, so is Bruce. They all look at Iris sadly, "No. He's not dead."
Clark and Diana reach out to support her, to catch her if she falls. Bruce had luck with Thawne, they wait for him to speak, "Worse I'm afraid." He takes the gun as fear covers her features. The two titans guide her to the couch and Bruce explains what really happened after Weather Wizard fell from the sky.
It still doesn't feel real. Days have past and the League can't yet debate whether wizard was a hero or a Flash villain. It must be done for funeral purposes, but it doesn't feel real enough. Everyone is hopeful and on edge, waiting for him to walk up to them as soon as the meeting starts and say it was all a trick to get unhindered access.
It has to be real, Bruce is showing emotion as he explains why Barry never came home after the fall. When he's done, Clark tells her "We keep trying to get him into his colors but they keep reversing. We stopped giving him the mask because everyone is sore about how that turned out. We can take you up for visit if you want. Marcus is taking it pretty hard, every time we try to talk to him about his brother's sacrifice he snaps. It just doesn't feel real."
That brought Iris out of her state, "You sound like Barry." She rationalized, "Wally is still around, we'll be okay."
Diana stayed at her side as the men stepped outside. "Storm is getting worse as it spreads. We can't leave the people out of the loop much longer."
Clark looked at Bruce, "Are you suggesting honesty? We tell people that a flood is building because Weather Wizard is dead. That will ruin their trust in us."
"They could die. I can't let innocents die. None of us can. Let them think what they will. We need someone to take the blame. We need to hold a meeting. Wally can stand in for Barry. We can't let this Renegades situation destroy the world."
"Cold isn't coming back. He wasn't a Leaguer long but he's important. He and Heat gave them something no one else can. They were the only legacies to join and some of the few heroes unanimously voted in."
"I know. We'll have to convince them to stay their resignation."
"You know why he resigned. You know all the reasons they quit. We can't get them to rejoin before the storm claims lives and we can't just force them to go to the meeting." Clark began floating as a something occurred to him, "Maybe together we can convince him to join us for one more meeting."
Diana stepped out "Wally needs to be here with her."
The speedster arrived seconds later, Bruce commanded "Stay with Iris, she knows." He turned to Clark, "Fine but we're talking to Cold so we need to suit up."
Clark said "This was your idea."
