20,000 views! The response this collection of one-shots has been amazing thus far. Seriously, I would not have kept this thing going with such awesome reviewers and followers like all of you.

This chapter I will not make you guys guess the quote. It's one of the two most iconic quotes in The Field of Dreams, about is my home state. Think of this one as a little shameless promotion of the place I call home. The core idea of this chapter though comes from spencerlonewolf.

Enjoy!

May 2013

It had been several months since the League had been on a full deployment mission. The main League members, at least those with protégés had spent more and more time in their old base helping to train the young generation. The older heroes honestly quite liked their younger counterparts, but being around them all day had grown a little frustrating. There was a major maturity gap that bothered several of the heroes, especially the ones who either didn't have a sidekick or hadn't gotten to know their's well enough. So when the original seven finally got the chance to go on a mission they had jumped at the chance.

The reason for the deployment had been a series of bizarre weather patterns in the Midwest. It may have been a little overkill to send seven League members on a wild goose chase, but Wonder Woman, Superman and Hawkgirl had been quite adamant about the need to get out into the field. When they exited the Javelin and walked out into the grass they were struck by the beauty of the land around them. The sun was high in the sky, with hardly any clouds marring the stark blue sky. Since it was late spring the meadow they had landed the Javelin in was full of thick green grass with a grove of trees off in the distance hugging a creek bed.

Even Wonder Woman, who had spent most of her life on an island actually called Paradise Island was taken aback. "Is this heaven?"

Superman was quick on the uptake. "No, it's Iowa."

The Kryptonian quickly caught himself. He stared at Wonder Woman with a look of shock on his face. "Did we just quote a movie while on a mission?"

Flash stopped his laughter. "Oh yeah, you most definitely did."

Superman shook his head. "Crap."

Wonder Woman followed suit. "We have been spending too much time with the children."

Flash pulled out his phone as he offered another reply. "Just wait until you get a Wonder Girl. It'll get a whole lot worse." Flash paused as he stifled another laugh. "Man, I'm send this to KF and Robin."

Before Flash could hit send, he found the phone plucked from his hands by Batman, the Dark Knight's stare burrowing into the speedster. "Robin doesn't need anything of the sort. He already has enough dirt on the League to last a lifetime."

Before anyone else could add to the conversation the group was interrupted by an old Chevrolet pickup pulling up beside them. The elderly man driving tipped his worn out baseball cap as a greeting.

"What brings you folks around these parts?"

The League had been expecting to hear a stereotypical accent from the man, but were slightly thrown to hear him speak with a complete lack of one. Superman returned the man's greeting with a nod before replying to the question.

"We're hear investigating the odd weather patterns."

The man laughed at Superman's reason. "Son, there hasn't been anything crazy enough for the League to check out. You know what they say. 'This is Iowa. If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes, it'll change.'"

Flash was let down that there was nothing to do. He looked to Batman, who only nodded. "I believe I mentioned that this was a waste of time before we left the Watchtower."

Wonder Woman was in no mood for Batman's arrogance. "Then why did you come along?"

"To keep you lot out of trouble. Seeing as how you're behaving as immaturely as the team, I believe my decision was the correct one."

The other six members watched as Batman gave a curt nod to the farmer before heading back into the Javelin. The old man gave them a two finger wave from the steering wheel before popping his truck back into gear.

Superman and Wonder Woman followed the others back to the ship. Wonder Woman kept thinking back to something Flash had said.

"Do you think I should look into actually finding a Wonder Girl to train?"

So, what did you think? Let me know in the reviews! Seriously, the 250th reviewers gets to pick a quote that will use in an upcoming chapter!
