The League guided the children through several hallways. Eventually, they arrived at one of the several armoured conference rooms in the Watchtower.
The room was quite large with a U-shaped table in the centre.
Robin moved to take a seat at the right end of the 'U'. Kid Flash quickly moved to sit beside him, being followed by Miss Martian.
Artemis reluctantly sat down next to Miss M., Kaldur moving beside her.
Superboy finally gave in and took the seat next to Aqualad, not ceasing his constant glare at Superman.
The Leaguers then took their seats, mirroring their apprentices.
"Firstly, we want you to explain how we met you and why we accepted you as protégés." Batman ordered, not wasting any words.
A glance was shared before the Martian girl spoke up.
"I'll go first." M'gann offered."My name is M'gann M'orzz, but you can call me Megan! It's an Earth name, and I live on Earth now! Martian Manhunter is my Uncle J'onn. I was invited to be his protégé."
The red head sighed.
"I'll go next. Name's Wally West, Flash is my Uncle Barry. I was bored one day, so I tried to recreate his experiment and accidentally got downgraded versions of his powers. He was pretty mad but he eventually agreed to teach me how to use the abilities and let me fight crime with him. Not much else to say..." he finished.
Superman's spoke up next.
"I'm Connor. I don't have a last name. Superman's clone. He doesn't train me. He rejected me. Black Canary trains me instead." Superboy grumbled, still fuming about the rejection. Not that Black Canary was bad... but it still hurt. And why did these other dimension Leaguers need to know about it?
The League had to admit that that one had surprised them. Cloning? Really?
Superman opened his mouth, about to say something to his supposed clone only to be cut off be the girl in green.
"I'm Artemis... Queen, Green Arrows niece. Done. End of story." Artemis lied in a hiss, with only slight hesitation. They did NOT need to know who she really was. Her team didn't even know yet.
She turned up her glare, she was VERY ticked that they were back to square one in proving themselves to the league.
Aqualad moved quickly to defuse the situation.
"I am Kaldur'ahm. When my King was in trouble I aided him. He rewarded me by mentoring me." Kaldur declared proudly, back straight and chin raised, as always.
Aquaman dipped his head in respect to the fellow Atlantean and Kaldur returned it.
"And you?" Green Arrow asked Robin.
"Our Batman tells me to keep that classified." Robin stated with a grin.
"We're not from your dimension. It won't really matter." Superman said, shrugging.
"Okay, let's put it this way. Not even my own team knows my secret I.D." he explained.
"You don't trust your own team?" Flash asked, shocked.
"I trust them! It's Batman who doesn't!" Robin snapped, "You know how important secret identities are to him!"
"Yeah, I've known Robin for 3 years. Batman has NEVER let him tell anyone his identity. We don't even know what colour his eyes are!" Kid Flash explained.
He silently hoped his lie hadn't been detected.
In fact, Rob had told him his secret ID a while ago, Batman had not exactly approved but it kind of just... happened.
One intense video gaming session lead one accusation of cheating which lead to a wrestling match, which in turn lead to a pair of broken sunglasses and a revelation.
"Wait. No way this kid's been fighting crime for 3 years. He's, like, 13!" Flash laughed.
"You're right. I started when I was 8. So, really 5 years." Robin retorted.
All members of the league stared.
No one that young should fight crime!
Hell, 13 was STILL way too young!
What was the other Batman thinking?
"Look, we're going to be here until Zatara finds away to send us back. What are our living arrangements going to be? It's necessary that we're kept together and that we have access to a training room." Robin changed the subject, having enough of the previous conversation.
"Awww! Why can't we skip training? We're in an alternate dimension! Can't we treat it like a... I don't know... a vacation?" groaned Kid Flash.
"No. No, we can't. " Robin stated, rolling his eyes.
The league stared. "I believe we'll be able to meet those requirements."
Robin's eyes widened suddenly.
"Miss M.!" Robin said "Remember how you restored our memories with Psymon? You need to do it again!"
"That's right! Hello, Megan! Why didn't I think of that?" she laughed while hitting her head.
The league watched as the children stood.
"What are you doing?" growled Batman.
"Figuring out why we're here." replied Robin.
They all approached the martian girl, M'gann, and seemed to slip into... some sort of... trance.
"Ummmm, are they okay?" asked Superman, worriedly.
"No clue." muttered Green Arrow, eyes wide.
"They are fine. They are simply preforming a memory recovery. Extremely difficult for most martians... She has extraordinary power." murmured J'onn.
Out of nowhere their eyes shot open.
"Why is it always magic? The one thing that makes NO sense!" yelled Wally.
"I hate Klarion." muttered Artemis, "Stupid freaking embodiment of chaos..."
Murmurs of agreement rose from the other teens.
"Did you see how we are supposed to send you back?" asked Batman, still glaring at them like they would attack at a moments notice.
"No, but-" started Robin, but he cut himself off as Batman turned and left in the middle of his 'but'.
"but- Klarion, Klarion- The Witch Boy sent us here with magic as we presumed, so magic should be able to send us back." he stated, seeming phased by the way Batman left.
No, not 'phased', he actually looked hurt.
"I will tell Zatara to start looking for an appropriate spell!" Aquaman stated before leaving.
"Why don't I show you around to where you'll be staying?" suggested Green Arrow.
"Just a heads up, but Bats is probably setting up complete physicals on you to make sure you're not androids, clones or aliens planted by villains." he joked, before realizing one WAS a clone, and that clone and another were aliens.
Whoops.
"See! Speedsters! Fast with their feet, not so much with their mouths!" cackled Robin.
