The walls around them creaked and groaned. Suddenly Roy was blinded by the sunlight he'd been deprived of for months. Heroes rushed in through a hole in the wall of their prison. He saw his mentor standing over him, lifting him, rescuing him.
"Ollie, kill me."
"Roy, whatever happened, we'll get through it."
"We won't."
Following their rescue, the team was deeply traumatized. M'gann and Artemis were malnourished and thin, but better off than their male teammates. Kaldur was the best off, he had walked out of the prison under his own power, which was more that they could say for any of the others. Wally and Robin seemed to be in a state of near shock. Robin refused to speak with anyone other than Batman, with whom he was hysterical.
"Roy it will be alright." Ollie tried to calm his battered young protégé.
"I raped them, Oliver!" Roy screamed.
"You were tortured, threatened, and almost killed." Ollie reasoned.
"Do NOT make what I did okay."
"I'm not trying to." Ollie assured him. "I need to speak with the others."
Green Arrow left Roy alone in his hospital room and met the rest of the senior Justice League members in the hallway.
"The poor children." Wonder Woman stated.
"Why were they taken? What happened?" The Flash demanded.
"Kaldur and Roy have reported that their captors wanted them to reproduce so they could sell meta DNA of the children." Batman told them.
"God…the girls must be…" Green Lantern began.
"M'gann and Artemis are unharmed. They were simply used as leverage." Batman explained.
"Leverage for what? You just said that they wanted…" The Flash interjected.
"God they didn't…" Aquaman exclaimed, dropping his head into his hands.
"What the fuck happened to our kids?" The Flash insisted.
"Apparently male Atlanteans are capable of pregnancy." Bruce began. "Robin is transgender and Wally…"
"No. Wally has been on hormones since he was five…he's a boy!" The Flash screamed.
"Just as Robin is a boy. But a boy born with the capability to bear children. Wally is intersexed. Since they were unable to capture Connor, they forced Roy to….to try and get them pregnant." Batman finished. They all stood silent, shocked.
"They kept us separated, so I do not know of the others." They all turned to stare at Kaldur, who was standing in the doorway of his hospital room in a blue gown. "But, I, at least, am carrying a child."
"Kaldur'ahm" Aquaman took a step towards his protégé. "I am so sorry."
"Do not be my King." Kaldur said with a shake of his head. "How is my team?"
