Chapter 11
Reformation Part 3
"Clark! Dinner!"
Clark Kent smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his forearm. He dropped his hoe to the ground and stretched his tired arms out.
"Coming Ma!" He called up to the family farmhouse. It took him a couple minutes to cross the field and get to the porch, and when he did his mother was waiting for him.
"Honestly Clark, you work to hard when you come out to visit. This is supposed to be a getaway for you and Lois." Ma Kent scolded.
"C'mon Ma." Clark said sheepishly. "You know I love to help out here. And besides, working in the field is a heck of a getaway from the Daily Planet and that rat race."
"I'm sure it is honey." Ma said with a smile. "Now get cleaned up, Lois and I have quite the dinner prepared."

Deet-Deet-Deet-Deet-Deet"Ugh, time to get up already?" Ron groaned as he rolled over and smacked the top of his alarm clock. "Mm, snooze."
"I don't think so sleepy head."
Ron's eyes crept open at the sound of the distinctly female voice coming from the other side of his bed. He followed the voice to the distinctly naked Kim who was standing up wrapping a bathrobe around her body.
"What? You act like you've never seen me naked before hun." Kim said as she leaned into kiss Ron on the forehead. "So get up and lets get a shower. Our parents will be up in a few minutes."
Ron blinked the sleep from his eyes and mind and smiled.
"Right, they're coming with us to the United Nations to accept that award."
"Of course…are you alright Ron? You seem a little out of it." Kim asked concerned.
"No, I'm fine. It's just not every day you get to accept the first annual World Peace award after being put up in the nicest hotel room I've ever been in." Ron said waving his arm around the Presidential Suite of the Wayne Hotel.
"Well when we put almost every single super villain behind bars in a single summer, I guess we deserve some accolades." Kim said with a shrug.
"Right you are my dear." Ron said getting out of bed. "Now, about that shower."
-GL-
Ron had just finished tightening his tie when a knock came at the door of their hotel room.
"I'll get it." Ron called into Kim who was in the bathroom doing her hair.
Ron strolled over to the door and threw it open, revealing the Possible's, all wearing big smiles.
"Doctors P, Jim, Tim." Ron greeted them all with a smile and hugs for Mr. And Mrs. Possible.
"Ready for your big day Ronald?" Mr. Possible asked with a smile.
"I am…I don't know about your daughter though." Ron said with a wink.
"I heard that!" Kim called from the bathroom.
Ron was in the process of shutting the door, when a hand offered resistance on the other side. Curious, Ron peaked back out, and grinned when he saw who was standing there.
"Dad! You made it." Ron smiled embracing his father.
"Please Ron, like your mother and I would miss this." Mr. Stoppable said, as he pulled away from Ron and straightened the young mans tie.
"Mom?" Ron said, suddenly feeling like he had when he woke up this morning.
"We're so proud of Ron." Mrs. Stoppable said from her position behind Mr. Stoppable. "We love you."
Ron blinked for a moment, then felt a smile spread across his face.
"I love you too Mom."
-GL-
"Look at the size of that limo Ron." Kim whispered into Ron's ear as she clung onto his right arm.
"Quite the ride." Ron agreed "I wonder who its for."
"It's for you and your families of course Mr. Stoppable." A lovely dark haired woman dressed in a sharp red business suit said with a smile. "Diana Prince, Ambassador of Theymiscira."
Kim shook Diana's outstretched hand.
"It's nice to meet you Miss Prince. I'm a fan of your work in the Assembly."
"As I'm a fan of your work in the field Miss Possible. You've done more for world peace in one summer then I have in the last five years." Diana said as she extended her hand towards Ron.
Ron shook the hand, but seemed in a bit of a daze. "Have we met before?" he asked slowly.
Diana wrinkled her brow in a thoughtful manner. "Not that I'm aware of."
Ron nodded and smiled shyly. "My mistake."
Diana returned the smile, and then glanced at her wristwatch. "Well we had better get going, I'll brief you about the ceremony on the way to the United Nations. Right this way."
Diana took off towards the limo, introducing herself to the Possible and Stoppables on the way. Ron began to follow, but stopped in his tracks as Kim grabbed his arm.
"Are you ok Ron? You've seemed out of it all morning." Kim asked putting her hand on his cheek.
"I'm fine KP." Ron assured her by taking her hand off his cheek and giving it a squeeze.
"Actually", he began as he looked long at her, then towards his mother. "Somehow, I don't think I could be any better."

"Batman? Batman?" Nightwing shouted into his comlink. "Damnit. Any luck on getting in there?"
"None, this thing is stronger then the one on the outside." Troia sighed.
The Titans had raced to the top of the tower where they knew Batman and the other team to be. Unfortunately once they arrived, they found the room sealed off by the same kind of shield that covered the outside of the tower.
"Are we sure they're in there?" Changeling asked.
"Why else would the door be sealed like this salad head?" Arsenal growled.
Changeling opened his mouth to respond but was cut off by Cyborg.
"This thing goes all the way around to, through the floor, ceiling and walls." Cyborg said looking at readouts on his arm computer. "There's no way in."
"But we have to get in there!" Kim exclaimed, no longer able to control her fear for Ron.
Troia came up and put a reassuring hand on Kim's shoulder, thought it didn't do much to alleviate her fear.
"They're all right Kim, they have to be. Nightwing, what about J'onn?"
-GL-
The Martian Manhunter closed his eyes and sighed. His friends had been in the tower too long, and the White Martians weapons still seemed operational.
'How long do I wait before making my move?' he thought to himself. 'No, I can't think like that, they cannot have failed.'
"J'onn, do you read me?"The crackled voice startled J'onn out of his thoughts; he pressed his finger to the communication device in his ear.
"Nightwing? I read you."
"We've run into a bit of a snag here. We've rescued the Titans…but we're not sure about the other group."
J'onn listened as Nightwing explained their current situation. The energy wall keeping the Titans out concerned J'onn the most.
"One moment Nightwing."
J'onn closed his eyes and reached out towards the tower with his mind. The energy shield might have been enough to keep physical beings out, but it had no defense against J'onn's psychic abilities.
He focused on Nightwing, and once he found him he moved out, searching for the other team. He finally found them, all in a dream like trance, their psychic energies fueling the shield, not to mention increasing the power of the black cloud.
"Good heavens no…" J'onn said as he glanced into the minds of friends and former teammates. "Nightwing, stay where you are, I'll be right there."
-GL-
Bruce Wayne yawned as he strode down the massive main staircase of stately Wayne Manor.
"Good Morning Alfred." Bruce said groggily to his loyal manservant.
"To you as well Master Bruce." Alfred replied, offering Bruce a cup of coffee, which he had on a silver tray. "And how are we this morning?"
"As well as can be expected." Bruce said taking a sip of the coffee. "You know how the nightlife in this town can be."
"Unfortunately sir, I do." Alfred sighed as he produced the morning newspaper from underneath his arm. It was folded so that Bruce could read the headline on the back page, which was reserved for celebrity stories, or gossip.
"Drunken Billionaire Causes Scene at Soirée."
"It appears parading around in your underwear, with equally undressed women is frowned upon in today's society sir."
Bruce studied the paper for a moment. Indeed there was a picture of him with two beautiful women, but something wasn't right. Bruce couldn't seem to remember anything about the incident in question.
"Oh Bruce, you're up, I was hoping I'd get a chance to see you before we left."
Bruce turned at the sound of the new voice that had entered the room. It was a voice all too familiar, yet all too distant in his memory.
"Father?"
"Yes Bruce." Thomas Wayne said furrowing his brow. "You really need to watch your drinking habits Bruce. Your mother and I wish to have a chat about that and your public image later."
"You do have a family name to uphold you know." Martha Wayne chimed in as she entered the room. "We'll be at the tennis club until around one o'clock. But be home after that."
Bruce stared at his mother. She stood before him dressed in a white jumpsuit carrying her gym bag. But all Bruce could picture her in were…pearls. Pearls hitting cold damp asphalt…blood…
"But you know the kids are coming over today." Bruce's words were soft, and forced. Coming from memories and plans that were not his own.
"Well I'm sure Dick and Jason won't mind waiting with Alfred and Selina for a little bit."
"I'll be baking the young sirs favorite cookies." Alfred said with a smile.
"Selina…" Bruce's voice trailed off.
"Yes, Bruce…you know, the mother of your adopted children? Your wife?" Thomas said shaking his head.
"Honestly Bruce, I don't know what you would do without us." Martha scolded.
Whatever else was said was lost to Bruce Wayne, as his eyes wandered into the open door of the study, and locked onto the grandfather clock against the far wall.
-GL-
"They're what?" Changeling asked, his confusion obvious.
"In a dreamlike state. Somehow, they've been placed in…it's almost like a trance. Only from what I can tell, they are all living out their innermost fantasies." J'onn explained.
"But why do that? These guys are trying to take over the earth, but they are making ideal mental lives for its heroes?" Arsenal said, shaking his head. "It doesn't make any sense."
"Actually, it does." Troia stated. "Their hate weapon or whatever is powered by psychic energy, and the Martians are obviously drawing it out of them, like they were out of you guys."
"And if they are content, they aren't going to fight back." Kim said, understanding what Troia was getting at.
"I sense the traces of the same psychic residue around your mind and the other Titans, Arsenal." J'onn said, his eyes glowing yellow.
"Then why don't we remember?" Cyborg asked. "It seems like an ideal dream life that seems real is something I remember."
"You don't remember all your dreams do you Vic?" Nightwing asked the half robot Titan. "I'm guessing it has something to do with the indirect way you were drained, and the way you were freed."
"Correct." J'onn nodded. "Superman and the others faced the White Martians leader head on. His psychic powers are strong, and he is controlling them directly, not through the aide of the devices you were hooked up to."
"So we get in there, take out this lead guy, and the others will be free." Kim said, cracking her knuckles. "But how do we get in there?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple Kimberly." J'onn sighed. "Breaking a link that direct could destroy the minds of everyone connected. They have to remove themselves."
"But who would want to remove themselves from their ideal life?" Changeling wondered aloud.
"If they knew it was a dream…remembered what happened, they would." Nightwing stated, looking towards J'onn.
"I can do what you are going to ask Nightwing." J'onn nodded. "But I can only help them remember, I cannot make them leave."
"Can we help?" Troia asked, looking around at her friends. Most of them gathered outside shared a special connection to one of those in the dream state; surely those connections could help bring them out.
"I'm afraid I cannot allow that Donna. The mind is a beings most sacred place. Even I am not comfortable with this trespass, I cannot permit anyone else to enter."
"It has to be done though." Nightwing said.
J'onn nodded and closed his eyes.
-GL-
"Thank you Officer West!" a small child exclaimed, hugging one Officer Wally West.
"No problem Timmy." Wally said with a smile as he stood up and brushed his hands off. "You just be easy on that bike or that chain will come off again."
Timmy nodded and thanked Wally again before riding off on his newly repaired bicycle.
"The kids in the neighborhood sure do like you Wally." Detective Barry Allen said with a smile at his nephew.
"I'm glad I can give them someone to come to for help if they need it. So many of them are growing up without fathers." Wally sighed. "Thanks for walking the beat with me today Uncle Barry."
"Anytime Wally." Barry smiled. "Its nice to come back to my roots every once in a while. Have you given anymore thought about taking your exams to move up in the ranks?"
"I don't know. I could use the pay increase…especially with Linda pregnant." Wally smiled. "But I think I would miss this too much.
"Wally…"
"Who the hell?" Wally and Barry exclaimed in unison as they drew their guns at the Martian Manhunter, who had materialized in front of them.
"Remember, Wally. This isn't reality."
The skies overhead began to darken, and lightning flashed across the sky. Wally watched in horror as one of the bolts struck Barry, and dropped him to the ground.
"Barry!" Wally cried out as he rushed to his uncle's side. "Are you?"
"I'm fine…" Barry began, as his suit began to burn away to reveal the bright red costume of the Flash.
"What?" Wally said taking a step back as he too was struck by lightning. He screamed in pain for only a moment, before he realized his body was now covered in the same costume as his uncle.
"Wally." J'onn asked, approaching the young man.
"I remember J'onn." Wally said, as Barry smiled at him lovingly before he faded away along with the rest of the illusion. "I remember."
-GL-
"I was wondering when you were going to show up." Bruce Wayne sighed, as he rose from the chair in his study to face J'onn J'onzz.
"You were?" J'onn asked, confused. "But…"
"The memory of my parents deaths is to powerful to be pushed aside." Bruce said. "Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find away out of this…charade. I suspected you would show up with an exit strategy sooner or later."
"Right as usual." J'onn smiled. "I think you know the way now."
Bruce nodded and walked over towards the grandfather clock. Where moments ago there was nothing behind it but a blank wall, there was now a doorway. Usually the dark and forbidding path to the bat cave, the door glowed brightly this time. Bruce took one last look over his shoulder at the life he should have been living.
'But not like this.' Bruce thought to himself as he stepped into the bright door.
-GL-
"Excellent dinner honey." Clark said, giving his wife a peck on the cheek.
"It was wasn't it?" Lois said smugly as she ran hot water over the dinner dishes. "But I can't take the credit, it was 95 Ma's work." She added with a sigh.
"Well your 5 was still pretty good." Clark smiled. "I'm going to see if Pa wants some coffee."
Clark passed through the swinging door into the Kent living room. The room was small and cozy, with several family pictures hung on the wall behind the fireplace. Clark paused and looked at the pictures smiling warmly at the memories they brought.
His smile faded when he noticed an unfamiliar picture dead center above the mantle. It was of Clark, with a young man who vaguely resembled him, and a white dog. The two had their arms around each other's necks and were laughing like old friends.
"His name's Conner. Or Kon-El. Or Superboy. It all depends on who you ask." The Martian Manhunter spoke from behind Clark.
"Who?" Clark demanded as he spun around. Seeing the Martian his eyes went wide.
"I'm sorry my friend. But the world needs you. And not in this dream world."
"What are you talking about? Who the hell are you?" Clark demanded clenching his fists.
"You once vowed to never let another planet be destroyed like Krypton, your home world." J'onn explained. "I believe you refer to it as the never ending fight."
"I have no idea what you're talking about. Now please, get out of my house." Clark said, pointing towards the front door.
"I'm afraid I cant do that." J'onn said as he crossed the space between them in a blur, punching Clark in the jaw, sending the man flying through the wall behind him and out into the yard.
Clark was on his feet as J'onn exited the side of the house; he sped at the Martian with amazing speed. Suddenly, before he collided with J'onn he stopped. Clark looked down at his shirt, which was torn on the chest, to reveal a bright yellow and red 'S' symbol.
Clark looked up at J'onn and smiled.
"Thanks J'onn. Lets get out of here my friend."
-GL-
"Ron Stoppable?"
Ron stopped at the top of the steps leading up to the United Nations. His eyes scanned the landing for the person who had just called his name. After a quick sweep, he located the person, and instantly took a step back.
"Whoa, what the hell." Ron muttered as he eyeballed the green skinned, beetle browed creature approaching him. "What the hell are you?"
"My name is J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter." J'onn replied. "We've met before, briefly Ronald. Or should I say Green Lantern."
"G-Green Lantern, what are you talking about." Ron stammered, confused.
"You know what I'm talking about." J'onn said as he closed the distance between the two and grabbed Ron by his right wrist.
"Hey!" Ron yelped. "Kim!"
J'onn brought Ron's hand up in front of his face and twisted it so the back of his hand was looking Ron right in the eye. On his middle finger, the most powerful weapon in the universe glowed a bright green.
"Remember?"
"I-I…Damnit." Ron muttered as J'onn let go of his grip.
"Ron!" Kim shouted as she came sprinting over to the two, sliding to a stop in between J'onn and Ron. "Step off greenie."
"It's alright Kim." Ron said placing a hand on Kim's shoulder. "He's a friend."
"We have to go Green Lantern. The world needs you." J'onn spoke softly.
"What are you talking about? What is he talking about?" Kim demanded her head darting back and forth between Ron and J'onn. "Ron?"
Kim's voice dimly registered in the back of his mind, as he looked longingly at his parents, specifically his mother, who was waiting at the front door to the Assembly Hall. His mother waved him over, as his father pointed at his wristwatch.
"This isn't real."
"I know. But it feels like it…and it's so perfect."
"It's supposed to. For what its worth, I'm sorry." J'onn offered.
"Yeah…me too." Ron sighed as he turned around to face J'onn and Kim. In a flash of green light his suit melted away to his Green Lantern uniform, sans the mask.
"Ron, what…what's going on here?" Kim said, her eyes wide at Ron's quick change.
"I'm sorry Kim…I'll see you in reality, I guess."
Ron grabbed her and hugged her tightly "Tell my mom I love her."
He pulled back as the mask materialized over his face.
"Let's go."

Protex smiled as he checked the gauges in front of him. The machine was now pushing out energy levels at 85 capacity, and that number was rising. Within hours every human on the planet would be infected with uncontrollable rage and hate. It was truly beautiful.
His thoughts were interrupted by several screams from behind him. The gauge in front of him quickly dropped down to 65 capacity. Though he knew what had happened before he turned around, the sight still enraged him.
The five heroes who had been defeated moments before stood atop a heap of fallen Martian warriors. The loss of their minds would be a setback to the plans, but it was obvious now to Protex that he had underestimated their willpower. Too strong to be held captive, they would simply have to be killed.
"You've had your chance to surrender Protex, now…" Superman started.
"Less talking, more hurting." Lantern interrupted, emphasizing his point with a energy blast that struck Protex square in the chest, knocking him back into his control panel.
"Lantern wait!" Superman called as Lantern shot across the room, making a beeline for Protex.
"You son of a bitch!" Lantern cried as he reached Protex, blasting him across the face with a right hook. Lantern made a construct axe and raised it high above his head.
Lantern swung the axe down as Protex became intangible, the axe instead lodging in the control panel behind him. Sparks flew from the panel as a current raced through the axe back into Lantern, sending him flying backwards.
"Idiot!" Protex called as the machine burst into flames. "That will be the last thing you ever do."
Flash raced over to Green Lanterns side, helping the dazed hero up. "Nice shot bud."
Lanterns only response was an angry grunt.
"Then again…" Flash added as all of the Martians who were hooked into the machine began to rise from their chairs and move towards the heroes.
"Destroy them. Leave nothing but their bones." Protex declared.
"Looks like we're a bit out numbered." Wonder Woman said with a grimace.
"Those odds are about to even a little." J'onn said as he materialized through the floor into the room.
On cue, the main door to the hanger exploded inwards, sending several Martians who were moving around behind the heroes scattering. The Titans and Kim strode through the smoke, all in formation behind Nightwing.
"Mind if we join this party?" Arsenal asked, drawing his bow back.
"Not at all." Protex said. "Your deaths will be a welcome bonus."
Acting on those words the White Martians charged the heroes as one. Even with the arrival of the Titans the numbers were still in the Martians favor.
"Titans together!" Nightwing cried as his team surged forward, using whatever means at their disposal to attack the Martians.
"I hate to say it gang," Flash grunted as he spun his arms in circles, driving a few Martians back with gale force winds. "But we're not really getting anywhere with these guys."
"Flash is right." Wonder Woman agreed. "We may have to take a more…permanent approach to this situation."
"No, there has to be another way." Superman protested.
"I don't know if the new guy's opinion counts for anything, but I don't really think debating lethal force is going to put these guys away." Green Lantern chimed in as he deflected a blast of heat vision with a construct mirror.
"Do you still have your Phantom Zone generator?" Batman asked Superman, as the two moved back to back.
"Yes, its in the armory at my fortress, why?" Superman responded, referring to his Arctic Fortress of Solitude.
"Flash, go to the Fortress and get the Phantom Zone generator." Batman demanded.
"The what now?"
"It looks like a camera on a tripod. And bring back a mother box. It's the small black box. They're both in the armory."
"You got it boss." Flash said with a salute before breaking into a run. "I'll be back in two shakes…"
"Nightwing!" Batman called into the comlink. "Get your team to us immediately, I've got a…"
"…Of a lambs tail!" Flash finished as he skidded to a halt in front of Batman, with the requested devices under his arm.
"Superman, Wonder Woman, cover me while I set this up. J'onn and Flash, start clearing the way for the Titans to meet up with us. Lantern, save your strength for a moment."
"All right guys, we've gotta get to the others and quick. Batman's got a plan." Nightwing shouted to his team.
"Batman's always got a plan, he's just like you." Arsenal remarked as he fired a pair of arrows at a Martian blocking his path.
"Like father like son…" Troia said as she twirled a Martian around with her lasso, letting him fly to the other side of the room.
"There." Kim said, pointing ahead a red blur darting in-between Martians, knocking them out of the way. "It's the Flash."
"Good eye, Kim. Starfire?" Nightwing said glancing back and forth between the two redheads.
"With pleasure." Starfire said as she blasted the remaining Martians out of the way.
"We're here, what's the plan?" Arsenal demanded as the Titans joined the others, who seemed to be holding a perimeter around Batman and Green Lantern.
"Everyone get in close." Batman commanded.
"That's the plan? Group hug?" Changeling cracked, which earned him a sharp glare from the Batman.
Everyone huddled in close, still blasting away at the Martians, which now had them completely surrounded. Batman detached the Phantom Zone generator from the tripod and pressed a button on the control panel.
"On my mark Lantern." Batman said as he looked at the display on the device. When the number three appeared on the readout, Batman slid the device across the floor of the room. "Now!"
As soon as the device was out of the vicinity of the heroes, a green energy bubble went up around them. The Phantom Zone generator skidded to a halt and remained still for a moment. Then with a loud whirring noise, the front of it opened up producing a bright white light, which was expanding rapidly.
"No!" Protex shouted, as he realized what was happening. "Not again!"
Rapidly the White Martians began disappearing into the white void, some of them screaming, others caught completely off guard.
"J'onzz! You'll pay for this!" Protex screamed as he charged at the construct bubble, blasting away at it with his heat vision and fists. His final screams were cut off as he too disappeared into the void, and then a moment later, the white light faded, and the portal shut down with a hissing sound.
"Holy shit…" Green Lantern gasped as he dropped to his knees, his green force field vanishing. "So much force…pulling on me…"
"I can see why you got your ring pal." Flash said with a smile as he helped Lantern to his feet. No sooner was he on his feet and Kim had his arms wrapped around him.
"And the girls apparently." Flash added with a chuckle.
"You're all right, I was worried." Kim said as she looked up at her friend. "What?"
"Nothing." Lantern answered, realizing the strange look he was giving her. "Just beat."
"So for those of us who have no idea what just happened…"Changeling began, walking over and looking at the Phantom Zone generator. " Um, what just happened?"
"That device is a Phantom Zone generator." J'onn explained. "Batman set it on a timer to absorb anything organic."
"You sent them back to where they were originally imprisoned?" Wonder Woman asked.
"Hopefully they'll stay there this time." Cyborg said, rubbing the back of his neck. "One fight with these guys is more then enough."
"It's not over yet." Batman said as he picked up the generator. "There's still the cell on the west coast."
"Can you do that again Lantern?" Superman asked, putting his hand on Lanterns shoulder.
"Yeah, though I'd prefer it be a smaller group this time. I don't know if me or the ring has enough juice left for the whole mess of us again." Lantern replied, stepping away from Kim's embrace, still feeling slightly drained.
"We wont need as big a team for this." Batman said as he began fiddling with the mother box Flash had brought. "We just need to smash in and set off the generator. Volunteers?"
Superman and Wonder Woman and the Martian Manhunter immediately stepped forward.
"I think we can provide the smash." Wonder Woman said with a smile.
"Then let's go." Batman said as he pressed another button on the mother box.
BOOM
A portal opened in front of Batman, a building visible on the other side.
"This will take us right outside the Martians base on the West Coast. Lantern?"
"See you when I get back?" Lantern whispered to Kim.
"I'll be waiting." Kim smiled.
Lantern returned the smile and strode up next to Superman and the others. "You coming speedy?"
"If it's all the same to you guys, I'd like to get back to Central and Keystone. Make sure the riots are dying down." Flash replied.
"Go." Superman said. "We should be able to handle this."
Flash nodded and took off out the door, his parting words hanging in the air.
"Callmeifyouneedme."
The Batman led group stepped into the portal and with another BOOM, it closed behind them.
"Look." Starfire said, pointing to the sky that was visible through the roof of the hangar. "The clouds are starting to break."
"Then its over." Changeling sighed as he turned into a green dog, and flopped down on the hangar floor. "Just in time for a nap."
"Not quite." Nightwing said. "Anyone who's well enough come with me into the city. Emergency crews may need our help. Cyborg, can you stay here and get our security and monitoring systems back online?"
"I aim to please." Cyborg responded as he turned to head towards the monitor room.
"Everyone else, move out…address any situations as they present themselves, but stay in contact with Cyborg in case he finds anything more pressing."
The Titans nodded and dispersed. Those who could fly exited through the hangar roof, and those who couldn't moved to vehicles that would take them into the city.
"Kim." Nightwing called after the teen, who was following Arsenal to one of the Titans hovercrafts.
"Yeah?" She said, turning towards Nightwing.
"You can go home if you'd like, you've done more then enough for one day."
Kim smiled. "Thanks, but if there's still more I can do, I'm going to do it."
"I had a feeling you would say that. I guess the 'girl who can do anything' isn't an exaggeration." Nightwing said with a smile as they walked towards the hovercraft that Arsenal had running and ready to go.
"Hey…its no big." Kim chuckled.
