Chapter Two

Two weeks after Dinah and Kitty had their conversation, the League was having one of their annual "recruiting" meetings. The team had become an important part of the League and they were adding new members once a year. Dinah didn't know if they would allow Kitty to join, she had no field experience whatsoever, but she had a good feeling about it. She didn't really want Kitty to join the team but she knew there was no way she was going to talk her out of it. No one knew she had a daughter, except for Green Arrow. It wasn't a secret, she just never told anyone else in the League.

The meeting started and Dinah waited for the right moment. "I have a suggestion," she said.

"Who?" Flash asked.

"My daughter," she replied. There was stunned silence in the room for a moment.

"Her info," Batman said.

"She's sixteen, her fighting capabilities are as good as mine and she's still improving, her powers are controling fire, air, water, and metal, and she's already very good at stealth," she answered.

"Any field experience?"

"No, but she's ready for this. I assure you she's very well trained," she answered.

"You know we also take maturity into consideration. How mature is she?" Wonder Woman asked.

"Over all she's very mature. She's always been more mature than most kids her age. At times she can have some immature moments but she's still a kid, she's going to have immature moments."

"We'll take her into consideration," Wonder Woman said.

Now all Dinah could do was wait. The original seven members of the team decided who made it onto the team. All the other members of the league would leave the room while the original seven decided.

"Do you think they'll let Kitty in?" Green Arrow asked Black Canary while they waited for the original seven to decide.

"I don't know, but I have a good feeling they will. She'll be pretty upset if she doesn't get in," she answered.

Dinah and Oliver, Green Arrow, had been dating for several years. Oliver and Kitty had a great relationship. Kitty didn't know who her father was and Oliver filled the gap where her father should be. Dinah knew who Kitty's father was but she didn't want her to know until she was a little bit older.

"I thought you didn't want her doing this?"

"I don't. She's been asking for months and I guess she finally wore me down. You know how she is; if she wants something badly enough she's not going to stop until she gets it. If she makes the team at least all her hard work that came with the martial arts training won't go to waste."

After what seemed like forever the original seven finally came to a decision.

Wonder Woman walked up to Dinah. "We decided that it is a good idea to let her join. Whenever you want bring her to Mount Justice so she can get acquainted with the rest of the team."

Dinah nodded, "Thank you."

When Dinah walked in her house later that evening Kitty was sitting on the couch in the living room eating a salad whilst watching tv.

"Hey Mom," Kitty said as Dinah walked into the living room.

"Don't tell me you've completely forgotten what today was," Dinah said, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.

"Um... I don't know," Kitty said.

"Where did I go today?"

The thought finally hit Kitty. "OH! Well, what did they say? Did I get in?"

"You're in," Dinah said, smiling.

Kitty jumped out of the couch, "Yes! Thanks for letting me do this!" She hugged her mom and then asked, "Well, when do I start?"

"I thought I'd take you to Mount Justice Saturday and let you get acquainted with the rest of the team and we'll see where it goes from there. Does that sound good with you?" Dinah said.

"Yep! Sounds great."

Dinah put on a hand on her daughters shoulder. "I know I didn't want you doing this but I'm proud of the progress you've made over the years and I know you'll excel at the hero game. And don't worry about letting me down because you won't, I'll be proud of you no matter what happens."
