"That was a smart and wise decision he made," Canary comment on Robin's behalf. Supergirl nodded her head agreeing, even though he can be a constant know-it-all brat with a pretty annoying laugh, Supergirl thought it was part of his gimmick against the bad guys. Ha can prove himself to be serious and an effective leader at times like before.
The others didn't want to leave till they found the target—the "definitely not magical, this is totally scientifically explainable" target, Wally keep insisting—but Wally is smart enough saying that beating him into the ground does not immediately solve their problem and reversed the "scientifically explainable" transformations, which everyone else seemed kind of insulted by. Supergirl wasn't sure why they all thought punching the guy into unconsciousness was going to fix anything, but they have been doing this longer than he-him.
"We've gone back to M'gann's ship to return here, but we were discussing on how we'd explained it to Batman and if they'll even let us in Mount Justice. They did let us inside," Supergirl shifts uncomfortably in her chair. "But he had to call the Martian Manhunter in to do a brain-scan to know if it's really was us." It was understandable to be suspicious of these things, but the invasive presence wasn't good, but it wasn't as bad she expected as expected and it was over quickly.
"I know you must have felt angry, having your mind being invaded. But like many teams all over before, the League has had been infiltrated by our enemies." Black Canary stern face tells that she had experience as she was one of the original founding members of the Justice League, she is a natural born leader like the Big Three.
Supergirl nodded her head, "I do, but...I felt more annoyed than angry before." It wasn't even the Martian Manhunter she was angry at, it was Batman who fixes them all with this look that everyone turned bright red and started readjusting their uniforms. "I wanted feel angry at Bats but...normally I would be pissed off being looked at like by him, but I was only irritated."
"That's a good way to deal with your anger," Canary smiled a little knowing how when she was Superboy, she'd easily knocked him on his butt. "You control it, think of ways how to respond appropriately, and move on."
"Okay," Supergirl breathed in deeply and exhaled, soothing herself. "Tula then explained to Batman, he then sends us all to wait in the living room while calls in Zatara for help."
"I was told by Batman that he had you all find clothes that was appropriate, was it then that you realized about yourself?" Dinah then stretched her arms over her head with a big yawn. Supergirl hear her lungs and voice deepen, is it really that mandatory of long hours for heroes to go without sleep?
Dinah noticed Supergirl staring at her with wide eyes, "I'm sorry for rudely interrupting you, I hadn't much sleep lately. "
Supergirl shook her head, "No, no. I understand, you didn't interrupt me at all."
"Okay then," Canary still feeling a bit tired but still feels awake, "would you like to continue then?"
"This is so embarrassing," Artemis groans, tugging at the bottom of her barely-zipped shirt like she's trying to cover her bare stomach with it. Superboy doesn't understand why, it's not like she doesn't normally go around with her stomach bare, but strips off his T-shirt and tosses it at her. It doesn't fit him anymore anyway. "Thanks," she says, catching it—then stares at him.
"...you know, I hate to say anything that even kind of agrees with Arty, but 'mmmm, that girl,'" Wally says after a long moment spent staring too. Superboy frowns at both of them, not understanding, and then Artemis is very quickly yanking the shirt back over his head and oh, right. Girls have breasts.
M'gann being unnoticeable saw Superboy taking off his shirt and throwing it towards Artemis. 'That girl', he was, she thought to herself staring at his chest she feels her face burning red and between her legs, she felt her—Hello Megan! Stop gawking at his tits, you have breast too! Well, used to have one, now she has a really flat chest and a male human's penile. Is that how you pronounce it right? She read books about the human body for her shape-shifting to fit in. But she wonders what could the body to switch genders unnaturally, Conner now having a nice pair and smooth curvy thighs, and a possible—Gah! Keep your mind out of the gutters, you pervert! Distract yourself, try counting, like sheep. M'gann furiously shook her head and looks to at floor to start counting ships. Onetwothreefourfive-
Superboy didn't even think about it. Well—it was uncomfortable while they were fighting but that was it. It wasn't even uncomfortable, really. They weren't in the way or anything, they were just there, and he doesn't feel any different about taking off his shirt either way.
Wally and Artemis are both bright pink, though, so maybe he shouldn't have. He noticed M'gann staring down at floor hard, maybe upset like everyone else is.
"Uh. Sorry?" he tries.
"What for?" Wally asks dreamily, then seems to realize what he just said and shakes himself, quick, pretty red curls bouncing into his face. "I mean that's okay, totally that's fine, no one minds!"
"I mind you," Artemis growls, glaring at him, and he glares back up at her and it's weird, Superboy thinks, he can tell they're Artemis and Wally but they just look so miserable in their own skins, and if there's ever one thing he'd never associate with is either one of them is the idea of being uncomfortable in themselves.
But everyone seems to be, except again, for him and M'gann. Superboy glances at her, wondering why, and she looks up at him the same as ever, apart from the fact she took the heels off her boots and changed her skirt into shorts. And, well, being a boy. He supposes this kind of thing isn't anything new to her, though—it's probably even a good opportunity for her to practice changing into males.
They waited around for a while, Wally and Artemis bickering at each other and Robin getting into it too, and Tula getting more and more restless as times goes by and the other three get angrier and angrier. M'gann starts to get anxious when both her and Tula's attempts at peacemaking failed.
"You know What?!" M'gann yelled out loud that stopped the bickering three, but has Tula and Superboy staring at her. Standing there of her chair after finally calming down from thinking about Superboy's—never mind. "How about some sweets?" she said with her natural calm voice with a smile. "I'll go make some right one, it can make everyone happy. She retreats into the kitchen to get away from the negativity in the air, Superboy follows her because he isn't really sure what else to do. He doesn't understand why they're so upset. The pain from the initial transformation wore off hours ago, the mission was otherwise a textbook success, and no one has so much as a bruised knee or a bloody nose. Normally they'd all be ecstatic.
"Everyone's so upset," M'gann frets, flipping anxiously through her cookbook, and Superboy just leans over her shoulder and watches the recipes fly by. It's not as easy to lean over as it used to be, though, though, and he has to go up on the balls of his feet to manage it; even then the vantage point isn't the one he's used to.
It's...different, he thinks.
M'gann notices, and adjusts, and the next thing she knows he's slipped under her warm strong arm and she's the one reading over his shoulder. She feels her heart racing fast her skin interacting with his soft skin. "Your hair's so nice," M'gann says somewhere between seafood chowder and steak salad, having accidentally smelling his blonde hair. Superboy blinks and gives her a startled look. She immediately looks anxious and nearly fumbles the book. "I'm sorry, I don't mean—I know it's girl hair, I just thought it was nice. I didn't mean anything by it."
Superboy looks at M'gann who was laughing very awkwardly, Nice going, you stupid idiot! What is wrong with me?
"I don't mind," Superboy says, slowly, and tilt his head so the yellow falls into his field of vision again.
And he doesn't.
M'gann looks surprised, but not as surprised as he feels. Feeling like she's back to being her calm-self again, smiles at him with a little blush.
