Once again I own nobody (duh :l )
When I stepped through the zeta tube I was shocked to see the original seven leaguers besides Martian Manhunter all standing there waiting for me.
"Where is the team, Superman?" I said, purposely avoiding Bruce, "I was called in to help with a mission." Superman looked very awkward and nervous. "Where is the team," I said with a little more force.
"The team isn't here," he said.
"What do you mean they aren't here," I said, my voice becoming noticeably less friendly. Superman seemed slightly taken aback by this and didn't speak again.
"Dick-"
"Nightwing," I corrected.
"Yes uh, Nightwing, the team isn't here because they're stuck in another simulation." Flash said shamefully. I stiffened at this news, remembering the lasting effects it had had on me and the rest of the team.
"Who thought this was a good idea?" I demanded.
"We all did." Wonder Woman said as she hung her head down low.
"Surely the original team fought against this." I said, speaking more out loud then to her.
"They were on board with it because there wasn't a telepath in the situation to take control this time," Aquaman said.
"So what's the problem."
"We don't know, they just aren't waking up," Wonder Woman answered.
"What do you want me to do about it," I said.
"Go inside the simulation and try to take them out of it," Green Lantern spoke.
"Why not Miss Martian," I reasoned. They seriously didn't want me to try to fix this, did they?
"Because of the way we set up the simulation," Batman's gruff voice finally added.
"which are..."
"We triggered the situation with your death," Batman said with his monotone voice. I had to take a moment to comprehend what that meant, and once I did I became upset.
"Why would you do this?" I said with my best Batman impression. Apparently I was good at it because several of the leaguers flinched.
"We wanted a situation that would trigger the most emotion," Wonder Woman said, "we are deeply sorry if we upset you by doing this"
I started to see the reason behind this and shifted back into my congenial self. "Tell me you at least gave me a cool death?" I said in a jokingly manner. I definitely saw Batman's mouth twitch into even more of a frown (if that is even possible). Flash however gave a snort of laughter before becoming professional again.
"Okay what do we need to do." I said, thinking I was ready for what was about to happen.
Okay I know this is short but I'm just trying to get something out there because I was surprised that people were actually reading this. If you don't like this direction for the story please let me know because I had a couple other ideas.
