"This is unbelievable!" Robin yelled as soon as he looked over the alley-way, finding something that none of his teammates saw.
Both M'gann and Wally blinked to one another, then turned to their younger friend. "What is unbelievable, Rob?" Wally asked, eyeing his best friend wearily.
Robin groaned and smacked his forehead, closing his eyes in irritation. "The path doesn't exist! Dammit!"
M'gann looked at Wally once more, and seeing the boy shake his head, she just sighed and hung her head. Robin punched the wall beside them with the side of his fist, feeling like a failure for holding onto fleeting ideas that he should have known would never be concrete.
Wally walked towards him and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry, Rob. We can just take shelter here tonight, check up on Kid first thing in the morning after we find somewhere to eat from." The red head told his best friend, whom only sighed.
"M'gann, can you make a sort of miniature house out of the things here?" The bird asked the Martian, whom only nodded.
"A roof, walls, and a door, right? I can do that."
And her eyes glowed green as different things from the floor started floating upwards, and somehow were arranged into a makeshift house.
Once everything was done, M'gann nodded to herself and smiled, turning to the boys. "As asked, a small house!"
Robin smiled at her and the three teenagers walked into the little dwelling, heading straight to the three makeshift beds that occupied the whole house, just deciding that sleep was the most important thing at this moment.
Green Arrow and Superman had come to an agreement. It would be better if the kids actually trusted them, so as soon as Batman had left for Metropolis, they opened up the rooms of the teenagers and ushered them into the Founders room.
Now Artemis was hugging a shivering Zatanna while Red Arrow and Superboy stood behind them, Aqualad still on his way from the infirmary. They all were hungry and tired, but they at least knew that, much like in their own world, Green Arrow was going to be the one to trust. He had a big heart and he really seemed worried about the teens that were now in his care.
Both of the superheroes had gone to the cafeteria to fetch food for the teens while Vigilante brought Aqualad, which had left the four of them wondering about their next course of actions. Red Arrow coolly glared at the walls of the large room with his arms crossed, but he wasn't angry anymore. Not after having spoken to the Green Arrow that genuinely seemed to care about him. No, now he was just confused, and a bit frustrated. But not angry.
Artemis, on the other hand, was pissed off. Batman was an even prick wherever they were, and his treatment of Zatanna was worthy of even Hitler's praise. When she saw him again, he was taking an arrow to the knee!
Superboy was shocked at the fact that Superman didn't seem to hate him here, and he was actually happy about this. At least here he wouldn't feel inadequate whenever the Man of Steel entered the room.
And Zatanna... Well, she was shivering and barely could speak because of how cold the room had been, but she wasn't angry. She knew why Batman did everything he did, and he had even been nice enough to fetch her a thick blanket. What she wanted to do right now was find her teammates and sit down with this League, to figure out what had happened and what they would do next.
Finally, tired of the silence they were now stuck in, Superboy spoke up. "Are you okay, Zatanna?"
The dark haired girl sniffled as she looked up at the clone, but still managed a smile and a short nod. "As good as I can be after almost freezing."
Now Red Arrow spoke, sighing before he did so. "You could've used some kind of spell to keep you warm."
Artemis only shook her head, leaning Zatanna's head on her shoulder. "We don't need this League hating us even more. If she used any kind of magic... God knows what might have happened..."
Both boys looked at one another at her words, but their small conversation stopped when the door to the room swooshed open and in stepped Vigilante with Aqualad behind him, which actually made all of the teens straighten up.
No words were spoken as Vigilante stepped to the side and gave the teens perfect view of Aqualad, whom was looking at them with wide eyes.
Finally, Red Arrow spoke up. "... Ka... Kaldur?" He asked, eyes wide as he stepped forwards to his friend.
"It is me, Roy." He answered, smiling brightly to find himself rushed by all four of his teammates.
Even Zatanna had managed to get up to greet their leader, all of them feeling a sense of relief at seeing the one teen that kept them all sane even when things got too tough.
Vigilante smiled at the sight of the five teens hugging, but frowned when his Comm. beeped. "Vigilante here." He whispered, hand to his ear as he tried to be quiet to not ruin the mood of the teens.
"We may have a small problem getting all the food to the kids, Vig." Green Arrow's slightly angered voice was what greeted him, confusing him a little.
"Why's that?"
"Apparently some idiot decided that there would be a limit per Leaguer, and we can't take all of the food the kids need." Green Arrow answered in a growl, most probably glaring at Superman, who was the person that had installed that rule.
"No problem, GA. Ah'll just bring the fillies over there."
The Team had stopped hugging as Vigilante spoke, looking at him as he had his conversation.
"Can we trust him?" Kaldur quietly asked Superboy, who only nodded.
"Green Arrow, Vigilante, and Superman are the ones we know we can trust, Kaldur." Superboy told him. "But we don't know about the others."
Kaldur nodded at the information, but didn't say anything as he turned to Vigilante, who seemed to have finished his conversation. The cowboy looked at all of the teens with a bit of uncertainty, then decided to just go with the flow and clapped his hands. "Who's hungry?"
