The leaguers shared uncertain, but angry, looks. Batman had betrayed them. With best interests in mind of course. They didn't doubt his motives.
But still, a betrayal was a betrayal.
Superman cleared his throat. " In the light of breach of trust revealed to us during the Vandal Savage matter, We have to decide whether Batman should be allowed to remain in the league. All those in favor of.."
"Wait!" Wonder Woman interrupted. "before we vote I think the accused should be allowed a few words in his defense." she looked at Batman. "I believe we all want to know, why he decided to go behind our backs and betray us this way."
The other leaguers nodded in agreement. Superman looked at Batman.
"Batman, if you please.."
Batman stood up, his face as unreadable as ever. "My actions don't require any defense, in the same situation I'd do it again." his voice was calm and monotonic. The bat voice.
"Aw, come on!" exclaimed Flash, slamming his hands down in frustration. "We are a team!"
Batman glared at each one of the present members. Only the founding members where present at this.. meeting. The rest of the League, and the Team, weren't informed about it. Yet. They would be in time.
"As individuals and even more so as a group the justice league is far too dangerous to lack a fail safe against any possible misuse of our power." Batman explained. "After the last encounter with Vandal Savage and his mind control, I could not let this go without a plan to stop you, should this ever occur again. I do not regret my actions."
"We use our power to protect the world and always have." Wonder Woman said, standing up, anger in her eyes.
"And what if we ever used it for some other purpose again? If you people can't see the potential danger of a out of control justice league, I don't need to wait for a vote." Batman's voice was low and intermediating. Anger seemed to be radiating of him in waves.
"I don't belong here."
He turned his back on the league, and never looked back. He never saw their shocked gazes, the disbelief.
Nor did he care.
