Before anyone knew what was going on, Clark's voice sounded throughout the watchtower,
"Attention, All available league members to the meeting hall... I repeat - All available league members to the meeting hall! Batman has called a meeting!"
The Flash was first to arrive in the hall, slowly but surely the rest of the league members that were on the watchtower came to the meeting hall. All of them seeing Batman and Superman at the head of the table.
"So what's this meeting about? I'm guessing it's about our new guest...Miss Van Helsing." Green Lantern said looking at Batman for confirmation.
"I called this meeting for two reasons. First I need all the help I can get with the current situation in Gotham. Dr Fate as representative for the Dark League... I need you to tell me all you can about Anton Arcane. As Green Lantern said the second is about Red Widow, I would like her to become a part of the league, if anything to take my seat." Batman said aloud so they all could hear him. A sound of shock and some murmuring of disapproval sounded throughout the hall.
"But how can we trust her?" Said Red Tornado.
"What?! I've known Khris for years and she has never done me a disservice. If anything I think she would make a great member of the league." Shouted Diana slamming her fist on the table.
"You might know her Diana, but those of us who don't need to be reassured that she's not a danger to us." Said Aquaman.
"Historically speaking Arthur, Miss Van Helsing has more right to be here than I do, maybe more than yourself as well. Her family has protected this world for centuries, I'm not saying I agree with it, I say she needs to be tested for her loyalty." Said Hawkman calmly.
"So what do you suggest?" Commented Black Canary, as she looked around the hall.
"How about we talk about this later... We have to help out Batman as best we can." Said Green Arrow.
"No Oliver we need to sort this out now!" Diana demand.
"I think Tornado is right, we can't trust her. Just because Superman brought her here and because Batman trusts her. This doesn't mean that she won't be a danger to us." Said Atom.
"That's not why you don't trust her is it?" Green Arrow shouted.
"You're only backing up the Bat because you're afraid of him." Snapped Green Lantern.
"Everyone! Calm down! Maybe we can all come to a decision, as you know when a vote is cast it needs a majority to make the decision. Who would like to begin proceedings?" Said Superman calmly as he stands up from his chair.
"I vote we put her on a trial run, before we accept her." Said HawkGirl looking at Batman. Seeing Batman clenching his fists, they were shaking.
"I vote that once she has healed up, we take her back to Gotham and never let her back here." Snapped Red Tornado.
"Might I make a suggestion?" J'onn said calmy.
"Oh and what is this suggestion?" Said Batman as the room fell silent seeing Batman getting angry.
"We let Widow decide, then we vote on if her terms are acceptable." J'onn said as he notices Red Widow leaning against the door frame of the meeting hall, wrapped in a blanket.
"This is supposed to be a league only meeting." Said Black Canary seeing Widow, the others in the room stop the arguing.
"Please don't stop on my account, but seeing as this is about me and the apparent lack of trust from the minority... I say I will prove my loyalty no matter the cost. Make me a league member or don't, I really don't care none. I didn't ask or trick anyone to forwarding this to be a vote. But be warned I will not leave here until you come to a decision. My place is not to judge or be judged, my place is one of action not words, for actions speak louder. So stop your arguing and make a damn decision." Widow said calmly but with a hint of disgust at the squabbling group.
Standing up Hawkman and HawkGirl clap their hands, followed closely by Dr Fate and Diana. The members in the hall all stopped arguing and watched as Batman walks over to Widow saying,
"You're supposed to be in bed resting, but you are welcome here. Sit down and I promise I will stay calm no matter the decision." Helping Widow over to his seat Batman looks at her when she replies to him,
"You'd better... Let the vote be cast, I take a trial or I leave. Those in favour of a trial?" She shouts taking the lead in proceedings.
"Aye" Said Diana holding up her hand.
"Aye" Came the voice of Hawkman he too holding up his hand.
"Aye" HawkGirl said following Hawkman.
"I second the motion" Said Superman as his hand goes up.
"As do I" J'onn says holding his hand up.
"She has my vote" says Green Arrow holding his hand up too.
"And mine, anyone who can look Bats in the eye and not wince has my vote." Said Flash sticking his hand up high.
"Fate agrees this too." Said Dr Fate placing his hand in the air.
"Anyone else?" Widow says to everyone in the hall. With no one else making a sound she continues,
"Those who think I should leave? Say Aye" hearing a resounding "Aye" from the other six members in the hall the vote was settled.
"8-6 majority, she gets to go on a trial period... As a founding member of the league, as is my right I say she trains both the titans and young justice groups until her trial period has ended." Batman said looking around the room seeing if there is going to be any arguments against the decision.
"Agreed, now let's get back to the business of Anton Arcane, Shall we? Said Dr Fate.
