It was almost ten in the morning before Emma started to stir. She slowly got dressed and went down to the kitchen. She stopped before entering as she heard Conner talking to someone. "Now let me get this straight: You went with Diana and Emma last night to meet up with Howler and the others, and ended up blowing up snowmen?" the person asked looking at the massive trophy sitting on the coffee table in the main room. "In a nut shell," Conner said smiling. The person laughed a little then asked, "Sorry I missed the fun. So, what all did you use to win?"
Emma looked in the kitchen and said, "W-we used my brother's trebuchet and what he calls a pack bomb, sir." Conner smiled as he said, "Superman, I'd like you to meet Emma. Emma, this is one of the leagues founding members, Superman." She cautiously stepped into the room and said, "It's nice to meet you." "The pleasure is mine," Superman said smiling, "Did you help Conner win this last night?" Emma nodded a little and said, "I helped get the trebuchet out of storage."
"And from what I've heard, you are a lot stronger then you look," he said before pulling a chair out and sitting down. "You would be surprised as to know how many found that out the hard way," Howler said walking up behind his sister. Emma smiled a little sheepishly as the computer announced, "Recognized: Batgirl; B- One Four." Everyone watched as Barbara came running into the room. "Sorry to interrupt, guys, but you're going to want to see this," she said turning on the TV.
"'If you are just tuning in; Lex Luthor has been arrested on charges of illegal arms dealing, tax evasion, illegal human experimentation, insider trading, and in connection with over four hundred unsolved murder cases,'" the reporter stated. "Guess he should've had a better firewall on his personal files," Howler said with a smile. "What did you do?" Conner asked. "I had a friend hack his system and turn the files over to the FBI," Howler said as he got a skillet down, "How does French toast sound, Emma?"
"Wait a minute," Superman said standing up, "You hacked Luthor's network and handed him over to the feds? Why?" Howler slowly looked at the kryptonian as the TV announced, "'Sources inside the White House are now reporting that files found in Luthor's private files are enough to prove that Bialya's ruler, Queen Bee, has violated all treaties the US has with the country. It has also been reported that the UN has demanded that Queen Bee step down immediately or they will take action against the rogue country." Howler smiled a little then said, "Just bringing those responsible to justice."
He turned back to the stove and started cooking as Superman asked, "I can understand why you'd go after Luthor, but why Queen Bee?" "Ask Dinah. She knows," Emma said taking a seat at the table. "I think it might be better if I did," Superman said. He turned towards the Zeta tube as the computer announced, "Recognized: Zatanna; Two-five." "Where is he?!" Zatanna yelled as she walked into the room. "He's cooking, why?" Emma asked looking over at her friend.
The magician walked over to Howler and said, "You have some explaining to do." He gave a slight sigh as he turned to face her and said, "If you mean about Luthor; yes, I called a friend to hack his network to get dirt on Queen Bee to take her down. No, I didn't know that it would bring Luthor down as well. Yes, I think you're hot and may be falling for you. No, Jump City is not League friendly because the mayor believes what Godfrey says and put a 'capture on site' warrant on any league member that shows up in costume. Now, not trying to sound mean, but is there anything else you need me to explain or can I finish cooking breakfast?"
Zatanna stood there stunned for a few second before said, "I take it that someone has been asking you too many questions." "That would be Bart," Emma said as she flew over and got her plate, "He's been stopping by every day, at the same time, asking questions." "Black Canary banned him for a week because of that starting today," Conner said. "There is a God," Howler joked before going back to cooking. "Question," Conner asked. "Any and all information about you wasn't handed over to the feds," Howler said glancing over his shoulder at the teen.
The teen breathed a slight sigh of relief as Emma said, "I thought you were going to ask about the pool." "What pool?" Howler and Zatanna asked together. "More like which pool," Barbara said as she entered the kitchen, "Some of the League started a pool with the League as to how old Emma is; whereas the team is trying to figure out Emma's full name, and she not telling." "Her name is Arturia Esmeraldas Pendragon and she's seven," Howler said before turning back to the stove. Barbara looked at the girl surprised as Conner said, "I see why she goes by Emma and it looks like he was wrong." "Who was wrong?" Emma asked. "About half the team," Conner said as he started laughing, "They all thought you were nine." "Oh good grief," Howler said as three pieces of French toast floated over to his sisters plate, "Did anyone actually win?"
"Only the ones that know Emma and you best," Zatanna said smiling.
