Chapter 117: Demand

"So, Oliver and Dinah aren't going to be joining us?" Courtney asked.

"No." J'onn replied. "And they're not joining Superman either."

"Well, that's something at least." Courtney said, at least the enemy wouldn't get their skills.

"Indeed." J'onn said.

"Why are they remaining neutral?" Courtney asked, everything she'd known about the two of them told her that they should be fighting on one side or another.

"Because they do not approve of what either side is doing and because they have a child." J'onn said simply.

Courtney sighed. "So, what are we going to do?"

"We are going to wait and see what happens. Sooner or later the Regime will make a mistake." J'onn said.

"It's been four years already, J'onn, how much longer are we going to have to wait? Constantine's gone into hiding as has Zatanna, Atom's gone mad. What else is there for us to do?" Courtney demanded. She was getting tired of not being able to come up for air.

"Are you suggesting we surrender?" J'onn asked.

Courtney sighed, she wasn't sure what she was suggesting. All she knew was that she was incredibly tired. "I don't know what I'm suggesting. I just want this all to end."

"It will." J'onn said.

"When?" Courtney demanded.

"When the time is right." J'onn said.

"And when will that be? How will we know?" Courtney demanded.

"We will." J'onn replied, before he stood up and departed.

Courtney sighed and muttered. "I hate when he does that."
