Hey everyone! So the first thing I'd like to say is thank you for reading! I really do appreciate all the support. That being said, I cannot express how important reviews are to me. Good or bad, your criticism makes my writing better. Since this is my first story posted to my account, it would really mean the world to me if you would point out the things you do and don't like about it so my future stories can be even better. Thanks again, and I hope you enjoy!

After discussing exactly what happened during their visits (and by everything, they meant every single detail, no matter how insignificant) they all started forming plans.

"All right, let's go over what we know." Hal made a green board that listed all the information that they could gather from the situation. "So, we know that this tournament is more than it seems to be. We know that Sinestro and Atrocitus know what's going on, and Larfleeze probably knows what's happening. We know that Oliver knows, and Bruce either does know or will know at a later point."

Artemis interjected. "The rings employ some sort of mind control."

Hal nodded, and added it to the board. Someone else spoke up. "The benefactor should fit in somewhere. Maybe the prize is something evil, or the benefactor is giving away some artifact that could do something evil."

Guy added that to board. "Hey, uhh, can we add that the rings lose their mind things once they're removed. I mean, I just talked to Kaldur, and apparently J'onn woke up and helped fix some of Aquaman's mind. He said that there's a little residual orange power, but it should fade away soon."

Everyone smiled at the good news, and they wrote it on the board. That's when Robin spoke up. "Hey, so now that J'onn provided witness, does that mean that they'll cancel the tournament?"

Everyone looked hopeful, but then John Stewart walked in, shaking his head. "I just finished talking to the Guardians. They said that just because Larfleeze didn't follow through with his deal doesn't give us warrant to search the others. Until they can prove either Bruce or Oliver is messed up, then the tournament will continue as planned."

That's when Artemis and Roy both stood up. "Really?! How much more proof could they need?!"

Hal shrugged, and then looked at the upset teens. "Listen, they can't let intergalactic peace pass by because of something they perceive as an isolated incident. Don't worry. As long as we can defeat either Oliver or Bruce, then everything should work out in our favor."

"Are we sure about this plan?" Wally asked, nervously. "I mean, do we have a back up plan?"

Hal looked at him.

"I know it's not a lot, but it's the only chance we've got. If it get's screwed up, well..."

"...then, we'll improvise."

"Welcome to day two of the Corp Unitation Tournament. Our first match today will be Fear versus Hope. I repeat, the first match today will be Fear versus Hope. This will start in fifteen minutes."

Robin shivered. It was colder today, and just the general anxiety was making him upset. What if Clark couldn't defeat Bruce? What if they couldn't get him back? What if that really was the last time he spoke to his guardian?

These thoughts swirled around his head as he sat down next to Wally. The ginger could sense his friends distress, and decided to try and cheer him up.

"Come on, man. I'm sure he'll be fine. He's Batman, after all. When has anything ever beat him?"

Robin smiled. "Thanks Wally."

"Will everyone please be seated. It's time to begin round four."
