There was a time when one group of us was enough... but now is not that time."
Nightwing sighed as he looked at the screen in front of him; 12 attacks in five days, the light had made the first move, and he world was the playing field. He typed, instead pulled up several profiles, young heroes and sidekicks out there all over the world. If Savage wanted to play this game, It wouldn't be easy and Dick planned to boost their ranks as much as he could in the coming weeks. "This Team is about to go worldwide" Dick smirked as he slimed down his choices.
~Three Weeks Earlier~
Savage looked over the world, a corrupt cesspool waiting for his influence. Shadows had covered the blue marble long enough, maybe even to long and The Light was ready to illuminate them in their own special way. "Our organization has made great progress, even with the persistent attempts to stop up by the Justice League and their Sidekick Squad. Today The Light will bring its goal into arms reach, and there is absolutely nothing any hero can do about it." He laughed manically, joined by the other six members of The Light ready to bring their secret weapons into action.
Nightwing had gathered the remaining original members of The Team. How long had it been since they had all been in the same room, since they had worked on a mission as a team. Of course with old friends came an empty feeling it was obvious that everyone missed the members that were no longer heroes, and even those that had moved up to the league were missed by everyone. Nightwing looked over the faces in the room with a sense of nostalgia one more time them began to speak "It has been to long since we have all worked together like this, but we will have time to catch up later, We have a mission to do."
The first to speak up was Raquel, better know to the world as Rocket "Excuse me? In case you have forgotten me and Zatanna here have graduated, as in We're Justice League. Besides, you have a pretty big roster down there, why call us in?"
"Because, this mission is going to need the most experienced members, and I can't think of anyone more qualified than the originals, Graduates included." Nightwing smiled as the group simmered down waiting for his chance to speak. "This mission is not a normal 'stop the bad guy' kind of mission, more like we need help against the bad guys." As the others whispered quietly to themselves Nightwing continued, bringing up the profiles of chosen heroes as he spoke "Your mission is to go and meet these young heroes one on one, and try to convince them to help us." He looked around, and he could tell the question on every ones mind 'Why?'
"As you know Savage and his Light have been attacking a number of areas in a short amount of time. As we stand now if we send squads to each area they would be undermanned and if attacked, severely outnumbered. To counter Savage's push we are going to make on of our own, and we need these new heroes to even the odds. Make no mistake team if things continue the way that they have been, we will be given no choice but an all out attack on them, a war on evil. Hopefully these measures will help ease that, and we won't have to endanger our teammates or civilians fighting The Lights agents."
The original team looked at each other, and knowingly agreed, Savage must be stopped. They quickly prepared and left on a mission that may be the key to the fate of the world.
Savage smiled as his recruits stood before him. They were ready to act, ready to bring even more promising members to their cause. "Sportsmaster, Psimon, Manta... The Light asks you to retrieve our newest... associates and prepare them, they shall buy us plenty of time against the heroes."
With little more than a nod the three were off, ready to recruit their target by any means necessary.
Authors Note: This is meant to be a prolouge to the story, as in how and why characters joined the team or Savage. If you still want to enter a character or want to change something feel free to review or PM me at any time. IF you want a certain Hero/villain to recruit your character Send me a message and I will be glad to make it happen, but it will be first come first serve so if you don't tell me, you may not get it. Personally I would like to update the story at least once every two weeks or so, but with both work and other engagements we will see how it goes.
