The Galactic Conquest

-3 Month Ago-

Tim Drake paroled his city, but his mind was not on the work – his big sister, he had just reunited with, was in a coma in a hospital. The leader of the Justice League was missing and things were nuts. Most of the Justice League was still grabbing hold of League of Assassins bases. Turning them over into Justice League bases. Grabbing anyone who dare hide there. With Nanda Parbat in their possession they knew where everything was.

Meanwhile Supergirl – Kara – who was now leading the Justice League was determined to get Rae back. Calling in every single Vibe, Premo, Gypsy, or anyone who could vibe in the multiverse. It wasn't working from what Tim could see. All getting the same results. She was alive but they could not get to her.

Tim had needed to clear his head. He liked being alone. Working alone. That was when he saw the streak in the sky. Something was coming down to Earth. Tim's communicator had binged to tell him of a ship that passed Watchtower defenses into Earth orbit, asking Tim if he wanted it shot down. It wasn't going to hit into anything important though so Tim declined.

Heading right into the park it landed in. One of those large state parks. There was a small crater and a teenage girl. He paused as there was a large alien grabbing the teenager forcibly. Tim took out one of his weapons and threw it right at the alien, hitting him in the neck.

"Are you okay?" Tim asked the girl as the alien he had hit went to another ship Tim had not seen, landing after the first – apparently trying to get away in his weaker state. Tim considered going after it, but his eyes saw another girl in the ship. Younger, probably around 5 or 6 – and badly injured. He would let the alien get away. "Hi… I'm Robin."

"I'm Komand'r," she said. "But they called me Blackfire."

"Komand'r," Tim said. "And who's this?"

"Koriand'r. My sister. She's also called Starfire," Komand'r said. "She's badly hurt."

"I'll get her help. I'll get both of you help," Tim said.

"I was just trying to save her. From the Game," Komand'r said sadly looking at the blood around her sister.

"I'll get her somewhere safe. You too," Tim promised, going to pick the little girl up and already thinking what he could do.

-Present Day/Beginning of April-

"What do we need with all these bases?" Rae asked. She had finally decided to catch up on what the League had been doing while she was gone. She had noticed the major increase in bases the Justice League had but then noticed it was all the old League of Assassins places.

"Better us having them then letting some former League of Assassin member take it and try to restart the Assassins," Kara said with a shrug.

"But I'll repeat, what do we need them for?" Rae asked. "Watchtower and Home Base are more than enough for us."

"Using one for storage. I think Red Tornado is taking one for his own experiments. The nerds want to turn one into their nerd cave," Kara listed off. "We'll figure it out."

Rae laughed. "Okay," she put her computer down. "Onto something more serious. The wedding." Kara raised an eyebrow. "I don't know what to do about our dresses. I don't really think we should both do a white dress. It just seems odd."

"How much do you care about the white traditional wedding dress?" Kara asked.

"Not at all," Rae said. The two had been talking about combining a human and Kryptonian ceremony into one and Rae wondered where Kara was going with this.

"Because it's Kryptonian tradition to wear our house symbol and well…" Kara took out a holographic device. "I took this from the Fortress." Kara turned on the hologram. It was of her mother and she was wearing a blue dress. "My mom always loved this dress."

"You don't like blue," Rae pointed out, always wondering why her Kara was not a fan of the color. Her Supergirl outfit was red and white, after all. Rae liked it though and thought Kara would look good in it. Her alternates did.

"I was thinking of getting the designed remade in white with the symbol on it like always," Kara said. "For my mom."

"I like," Rae said, liking including something of Kara's mom. Rae put her hand to the necklace again. "I got to figure out something then. I don't have a house symbol."

"I'd argue you do," Kara said and Rae tilted her head, wondering what Kara meant. "Your lightning bolt..."

"Oh," Rae said, the thought coming to her. "I guess you could consider it a house symbol in a way." Rae smiled liking the idea. "And they sell Flash inspired dresses and outfits. Even really fancy ones. I like." Rae leaned over and kissed Kara. "Onto a more important question. Ready for Friday lunch with my grandparents?"

"What happened to dinner?" Kara asked.

"I wanted to get it out of the way early for the first meeting. Just in case," Rae said, and Kara rolled her eyes. That was when their communicators went off. "Message from Watchtower… seems the Injustice Alliance has a new member." They had MIA alerting them to any Injustice Alliance crimes. "They are going young with this one. She's can't even be 15!"

Kara nodded, looking at the video as well. "I think she's Tamarian," Kara mused, knowing the species. "Wonder what one is doing here…? And they are usually very peaceful. At least that's what the Fortress says."

"Problem for another day," Rae said, closing her communicator.

"Looks like they are in Coast City. That's Batgirl's territory. Sure, you don't want to go over there?" Kara asked.

"No point. They hit the lab. No injuries," Rae said. "I just don't get this Injustice Alliance. They seem to be traveling around the country just…" Rae paused and Kara could feel her emotions. Waiting for her to express them. "I fear they are doing what I was doing when the League died: Recruiting members is their game right now and there's not much we can do to stop it."

"What happens when they get their members?" Kara asked.

"That I don't know," Rae said. "Might be worth it to have the Snarts and Mick keep an ear to the ground. Unfortunately, it's too public we use them and have a relationship. Might not be able to get the inside man." Rae stood up. "Come on. Let's go to lunch."

-New Justice-

Tim was in his clocktower based when he got a notification about the Injustice Alliance. Pausing when he saw the video and having to watch it again. "Komand'r," Tim mumbled as he looked at the new member. "No…"

Tim grabbed his equipment and opened a zap tunnel to Coast City as fast as he could.

Arriving, he instantly started going through the city, using equipment to jump across the roofs until he was tackled by someone. Fighting back, he paused when he realized it was Batgirl. "Why did you attack me?!" Tim asked.

"Didn't realize," Stephanie Brown-Snart said, lowering her weapons. "This is my city. What are you doing here?"

"I'm in the Justice League," Tim said. "I can parole wherever I want."

Stephanie rolled her eyes at that. "And when am I becoming Justice League?" Stephanie asked.

"You haven't been voted in yet," Tim said.

"I helped in the war," Stephanie said.

"And the only people we let in from that was Valor, Vixen and Animal Man. And that's because Animal Man and Valor have been in the League before… sort of," Tim said; Valor was clone of the original, while Animal Man had left the first League willingly. "With Flash gone, we didn't want to vote on more."

"She's back," Stephanie pointed out.

"Well then, ask her. For all I know she forgot you weren't a member," Tim argued back. "Look, maybe you can help me and I'll see if I can get a vote for you."

"Sounds good to me," Stephanie said. "What do you need?" Tim took out the video on his communicator. "Ah yeah, Memphis Lab robbery. I got there a second too late."

"Good thing," Tim said. "This is the Injustice Alliance." Stephanie raised an eyebrow. "And I need to find this one." Tim pointed at Komand'r, the teenager.

"Why?" Stephanie asked.

"She's a good kid," Tim said. "She's fallen into the wrong crowd. I just need to talk to her."

"Well, you're in luck," Stephanie said. "I spoke to the scientist. Only one thing was stolen: a device used to enhance mental ability. There's a larger device being used on the meta human King Shark. Same basic principal."

"How does enhancing mental powers help us?" Tim asked.

"Not powers, abilities," Stephanie corrected. "As in mental health. It's being used in experiments on coma patients." Tim paused there. "It's not cleared yet for use on real patients. Only simulations so far. The scientist said to use it on a real person they would need to give medicine first. One the lab didn't have but their sister lab did." Stephanie pointed to the right. "Reason why I was around here. I was thinking of calling in the League myself."

"Well I'm here. Me and you," Tim said.

"An Injustice Alliance and you don't want the bigger League?" Stephanie voiced but then realized. "You're doing this behind their back!"

"Komand'r is my responsibility," Tim said, taking a position on the roof.

"Okay," Stephanie said, a little confused but let this play out.

-New Justice-

"See it wasn't that bad," Rae said after they had finished lunch. They had spent maybe an hour with her grandparents; Clarky and Krypto with them, of course, the two wanting to take in the new people in their mistresses' life who may be learning their secret.

"No," Kara said. "I really kind of like your grandfather." Richard had been interested in what Kara did and had a long conversation with her about the Sanctuary. "Your grandmother is… did she really have to fire that maid?"

"You should have seen her when she thought I was just Cat Grant's chef," Rae laughed. "Although, speaking of Cat she gave me the morning off to do this but I…" Rae paused as her communicator binged. "Seems the Grants are going to have to fend for themselves. There is a very large ship entering Earth's space. Watchtower warning. Come on."

Rae and Kara had to smirk as they looked around to make sure no one was looking and then ran, both going to the nearest zap tunnel with their dogs and up to Watchtower. Rae had summoned her Flash suit on the way and Kara changed into her Supergirl outfit.

"So, what's the deal nerds?" Rae asked; Adam, Winn, and Jess were already in Watchtower and Mon was there too. "And Mon…? Not a nerd. Okay. Red?" Red Tornado gave a nod as well. The android was usually around Watchtower, or taking on crimes, or setting up his new lab.

"So far the ship is non-aggressive," Adam said. "Not answering hails though. And that sounded so Star Trek." Adam had a smirk on his face as he said it.

"Um… there's a communication going out to Earth," Winn pointed out. "Put it on screen."

Rae gave a nod and a woman appeared on their screen. She was clearly alien with an almost bug-like appearance, reminding Rae of a mantis. "Hello planet Earth and the protectors known as the Justice League," the alien woman said. "I am Rox, of Galactic Conquest. I wish to have a person to person meeting with the leader of your most fierce army the Justice League – the Flash will meet me in her cities of Central-National or I will open fire. You have an hour."

The video ended, leaving those in Watchtower confused.

"Galactic Conquest?" Jess was the one to ask, eyes going to Kara, who shrugged.

"Don't look at me. Never heard of it," Kara said.

"Neither have I," Mon said. They were the only two aliens in the room, but no one had looked at him. Not figuring the clone would know.

Another zap tunnel opened and Jessica, their Green Lantern, came running into the Watchtower. "Galactic Conquest!" Jessica said, taking a few deep breaths. "It's an alien realty TV show." The group paused, not knowing what to say to that. "They go to a planet, have a champion battle three of their champions and if the planet champion wins, the planet wins rewards. If Galactic Conquest wins they take their pick of the planet resources and people."

"So, I'm champion of Earth?" Rae asked, confused.

"That's the thing… this is odd," Jessica said. "From what I have seen they come and they announce it. They didn't here. This is different… asking to talk."

Another zap tunnel opened and Sara and Tommy came in. Sara wasn't showing her pregnancy yet, but would probably start showing soon. "Sara, we don't need to come here," Tommy was saying. "I don't know if these zap tunnels are good for you and the baby and I need to train Sidew…."

"Actually," Rae said. "We need Sara. And zap tunnels are completely safe…. Right nerds?" Adam, Winn, and Jess all nodded. "But we need you for this."

Rae went over to one panel and everyone knew what was coming, some going to put on their masks. Rae put her hand on the handprint and let her eyes be scanned. "Rachel Joan Garrick, the Flash, activate Code Dominate."

Kara stepped forward to confirm, and then so did Sara. Code Dominate allowing the leader of the Justice League temporary command of Earth's armies, President of Earth. The Generals of various countries came onto the screen. "Took you long enough," it was General Lane who commented. "Madam President."

Rae rolled her eyes. She didn't really like Code Dominate but it did come in handy. "Generals, I activated this because I did not want some world leader getting nervous and an itchy trigger finger," Rae stated. "I'm going to go have a conversation with this Rox. Hopefully this will be worked out diplomatically. If not, I'll have you in my ear, waiting for my orders."

"Yes ma'am," the Generals said, giving a nod and salute.

"Oh, and keep border patrol at their post," Rae said, remembering last time Code Dominate had been active. "Supergirl, Superdog, Flash Pup with me. White Canary, hold down the fort here. Get the rest of the League here just in case."

A zap tunnel was open and Rae and Kara left with their dogs following.

-New Justice-

"Oh crap," Tim said having heard the announcement from Rox. Komand'r had told him all about Galactic Conquest upon arrival, and what she had been forced to do once her planet lost. His communicator went off. A summons for all League members to go to Watchtower.

"You need to go," Stephanie said.

"No," Tim said, ignoring it. "This is more important."

"You're a member of the Justice League! You have to at least tell them what you're doing now," Stephanie argued.

"No," Tim repeated immediately. "Are you sure they will hit here?" Before Stephanie could answer there was a noise and, turning around it was obvious the lab had been hit as they were talking. "Now!" Tim swung down to the floor.

Stephanie paused. Tim needed help – there were more people there than he could deal with. She took out the device Rae had given her in case of emergencies and pushed the button. If Tim would not alert the League, she could.

She went down to help Tim then she started fighting with Shellcase.

-New Justice-

It was easy to find Rox. She was waiting at the top of a building as Rae ran up. The three Kryptonians were not far behind her. "I wanted to speak with you," Rox said. "Alone!"

"My second and the dogs are a package deal," Rae said. "I don't take kindly to people threatening my cities or my planet. So, this better be one hell of an explanation."

"Just so the entire planet knows what we offered," Rox said, releasing cameras nearby under her control, and Rae felt all TV was on them again. "Two of my legally won champions escaped. They crashed on this planet and one of your heroes stopped them." Rox showed holograms to her – Rae did not recognize the teenager, but she had to stop herself from saying 'Star' when she saw that hologram, recognizing Star Allen, from Karry Universe but realizing it was this universe's version. Then she saw Robin. "It's taken us a while to get here, but if you bring all three to us we will leave and never come back. If you refuse, we will forcibly take them and anyone or anything else we feel like."

Rae laughed at this. "You think threats will work on me?" Rae said. "I'm not scared of you. Or your ship. I think you're scared of us," Rae said. "The Justice League has a reputation through the galaxy. The old League took on the Dominators and the Harvesters and won! The new League has defeated the White Martians. And our planet might not have spaceships yet but our weapons are top of the line." Rae knew she had Maxwell Lord to thank for that.

"Your weapons are nothing," Rox said.

"We'll see," Rae said. "General Lane, those new canons installed in the Central military base. Set it to low and hit that ship." She instructed through her coms.

"Yes, Madam President," General Lane's voice was heard. A moment later, a beam of light hit into the ship above the cities and the ship above them shook from the force.

"Seems that did some damage. Now, imagine if I set it on high," Rae said, looking back to Rox. "I know we will take hits if we go to war, but we will win." Rae folded her arms. "But let's not risk all our lives." It was an idea Rae had. She didn't want her city damaged after all if possible. "I know how you work. So, let's do it. One battle. Me against one of your champions. I win, you leave Earth and never come back. You win, you get the three people you want and nothing more before you leave."

Rox seemed to pause. "This offer is only good for the next 5 seconds before I have my Generals turn all their weapons to high and start firing," Rae said. "1…" she held up a finger. "2… 3–"

"Deal," Rox said. "But, Supergirl is the one to fight."

"Scared of me?" Rae asked, not wanting to risk Kara for this.

"I don't have the time to find the perfect champion to battle you. I know who to have Supergirl battle," Rox said.

"Flash," Kara said putting a hand on Rae's shoulder. "One second…" Kara brought Rae aside. "I'll do it. I'll do it and win." Kara gave Rae a smile. "Trust me."

"Always," Rae said, kissing Kara.

"Flash?" Adam's voice interrupted. "Batgirl sounded an alert."

"Send Black Arrow and Valor to see what's wrong," Rae said, not going to let Batgirl get injured before turning back to Rox. "Fine, but if I see any Kryptonite, your ship is being shot down."

"That's fair," Rox said with a nod. "Send down Maxima," she instructed her subordinates, and in a beam of light, a woman appeared on the roof. "And Supergirl. You can choose to have a weapon on you if you so desire."

"I don…"

"Use my helmet," Rae said, taking the helmet off her head. "My father's helmet." Rae held the helmet out to Kara. "Use it."

Kara gave a smile, knowing Rae had never let anyone use this helmet. "The helmet," Kara said lifting it up to Rox. "That's my weapon."

"Unusual," Rox said, but moved back. "And begin."

Maxima took the first shot, running at Kara. Kara barely dodging the attack, grabbing Maxima and flipping her over. Maxima then swiped at Kara's, feet making her fall over. Maxima went for a punch as Kara was on the floor, but Kara put the helmet between herself and Maxima's fist. Maxima moved back in slight pain and Kara tossed the helmet at Maxima. The helmet drawing blood, giving Kara enough time to get to her feet. She grabbed the helmet before she and Maxima took to the air to fight.

"What type of metal is that helmet made of?" Rox asked Rae. The two had stepped aside of the fight to watch, the cameras Rox had activated before now following the fight.

"It's not," Rae said. Rox tilted her head. "It's not made of metal." Rae clarified as she looked up to take in the air battle.

-New Justice-

Stephanie was fighting both Dark Archer and Shellcase together. She was holding her own but was slowly being beat down. That was when an arrow hit into Dark Archer. His armor deflecting it but Tommy jumped down, Valor next to him.

"Son," Malcolm said. "How's my grandkid growing? How pregnant is your wife?"

"I'm not your son and that's not your grandkid," Tommy said, freaked at how this was Malcolm's instant concern.

"Robin is inside," Stephanie told them as she continued to battle Shellcase.

"Valor!" Tommy said, nodding his head towards the building.

Mon gave a nod and ran into the building.

….

It didn't take long for Tim to find the part of the lab Komand'r and Catwoman were in, along with Cheetah. He was glad it was not the entire Injustice Alliance.

"Komand'r!" Tim called, the teenage Tamerian turning at this. "What are you doing?"

"What I need to for my sister," Komand'r said. "And I don't go by that name anymore. I am Blackfire."

"That's what they called you! The Game," Tim said. "And Koriand'r doesn't need you allying with them. They are not good people."

"They're doing more for my sister than you did," Blackfire said, powering up her eyes and sending a blast at Tim, who was thrown back into a wall. Cheetah laughed. Catwoman looked bored though.

Blackfire powered up her hands and was about to throw another shot at Tim; the shot was intercepted by Mon though. "How about we do this alien against alien?" Mon said with a smirk. Cheetah started at Mon though, who pushed her back.

"You two, we got what we wanted!" Catwoman said holding up a vial. "Let's go." Catwoman was already heading out and Blackfire and Cheetah went to follow. "Boys…" Once they were outside watching Shellcase and Dark Archer. "Let's go!"

Dark Archer tossed something on the floor and smoke came up. By the time Mon and Tim came out, the Injustice Alliance was gone. Tommy turned to Tim. "Care to explain?" Tommy asked, looking right at Tim.

"He was trying to get to the girl," Stephanie said.

"Flash is not going to like this," Tommy said, knowing he had to contact Rae.

-New Justice-

The fight was hard to keep up with since the two aliens were flying in the air, moving fast – even Rae had trouble keeping up, and she had to keep Krypto and Clarky from joining. Finally, the two aliens hit down on the roof, kicking up down dust and landing on the floor below.

When the dust cleared Kara was standing, she had bruises on her and was bleeding but Maxima was knocked out, Rae's helmet in Kara's hand.

"This thing is very hard," Kara said holding out the helmet to Rae, who had jumped down to greet Kara.

Rae took it and then brought Kara into a hug kissing her cheek. Kara moaned a little in pain; Krypto and Clarky coming in with a happy bark. "Sorry," Rae said.

"It's okay," Kara said, with a smile. "I liked it."

Kara picked up Maxima though, and flew up through the hole she'd created, placing the unconscious alien at the stunned Rox's feet, Rae and the dogs joining her.

"You better leave. A deal is a deal," Rae said as Maxima's unconscious form was teleported away. Krypto and Clarky gave a growl, as if supporting Rae. Ready to pounce if Rox went back on her word.

"Galactic Conquest is nothing but honorable. You win," Rox said. "But if any of those three ever leave the safety of this planet, you be sure I will take them." Rae gave a nod as Rox teleported away.

"Flash?" It was Tommy voice over the coms. "We got Batgirl; and Robin was with her."

"Good, I need to have a word with him," Rae said, the image of Robin from Rox's video still burning her brain, wanting to know what exactly was going on with him and this Galactic Conquest.

"Oh yeah, you do," Tommy said. "They were fighting the Injustice Alliance."

Rae and Kara looked at each other. "Bring them both to Watchtower would you?" Rae said after a moment.

-New Justice-

Back in Watchtower, Rae had turned off Code Dominate, giving power back to the individual countries, and then turned to Tim. She didn't say a word but gave Tim a look. Tim took a breath, silence filled the tower, even though everyone in the League, plus Batgirl, was there now.

"You better start," Rae said, cooly. "Now."

"When you were gone, two ships crashed outside of my city," Tim stated, keeping calm. "Komand'r and Koriand'r were in them, injured. Galactic Conquest, the Game – that Rox woman I suppose – were after them, but I saved them. Kori had been badly injured, but I got her into care, while Koma ended up in foster care… or so I thought."

Rae paused at this, thinking what Tim had said.

"Where's Star?" Rae asked. You didn't need to be Kara with a mental bond to know she was angry.

"Star?" Tim looked confused at this.

"The younger, Starfire," Rae demanded.

"She's… in a coma," Tim said, growing at Rae's anger. "STAR Labs has her."

"The little girl coma patient," Jess said, realizing. "I didn't know you brought her there."

"Look, Koma is with the Injustice Alliance to save her sister. I can talk to her," Tim said. "That device might be able to save Kori…"

"It's not going to," Caitlin said, cutting Tim off. "That device is experimental. It has a slight chance of helping a human, but more of a chance of making them braindead. I looked into it for Dinah and thought it was too risky – for an alien though it will kill them. It's made and set for the human brain."

"We're moving Star… Kori," Rae said, too used to her Karry Universe name. "Coast City to Central-National City… it will take the Injustice Alliance a couple hours at least to get to STAR Labs. We need to move now. Wildfire, go to Homebase and set it up." Caitlin gave a nod, opening a zap tunnel. "Unfortunately, Frankie and Gypsy are away tracking down a fugitive. We'll have to do this the old fashion way. Atom, make a path from STAR to a zap tunnel able to handle a big transfer." Some of the smaller zap tunnel were one person at a time, but some were bigger. "Then send the path to CCPD. Ask them for assistance in moving a STAR Lab van. You'll be waiting at the tunnel ready to go." Rae would really like to run Star herself at superspeed, but she knew that could be dangerous for a coma patient. "Angel, contact the labs." She told Jess. "Let them know I'm on my way. I'll run in front of it. I want people along the path to guard. Ready for an attack."

"I can talk to Koma," Tim said. "She's…"

"How well did that work last time?" Rae turned on Tim. "She's a member of the Injustice Alliance now. I'll try, but if she chooses to stay with them she's going to have to take the consequences of that choice eventually. And you're not going anywhere." Tim raised an eyebrow.

"I started this… they are my responsibility," Tim said.

"They were and you made a mess of it. I'm ending it," Rae said simply. "I care for that girl in a coma more than you know. She's safe with me. You and Batgirl are staying here with White Canary and Supergirl. White Canary, keep an eye on the computers. Kara, heal up." Kara was still looking sore and Rae gave her a kiss. "Superdog, Flash Pup, with me." The two dogs barked as Rae opened a zap tunnel and left.

Everyone soon left, besides Kara, Sara, Tim and Stephanie. Stephanie had remained quiet but was clearly nervous.

"Made a mess of it? She cares for Kori? What the hell is with this Star name? To hell with it, I am going," Tim said.

"Sit down," Kara instructed. She might have still been injured but she could take Tim. "Flash gave you a direct order to stay here and you will stay here." Kara stared at Tim who gave a frown but sat down with his arms crossed. "You look like a two-year-old when you do that. And FYI, on Karry Universe my alternate and her husband adopted Kori, calling her Star. That makes Star, Rae's niece. She doesn't care which version. Going after Star is going after her family." Kara was a little annoyed this had happened while Rae was gone, and she oversaw the League. Something like this she should have been aware of as she silently wondered what else Tim had been up to while Rae was gone.

"Batgirl, make sure he stays put. Knock him out if you have to," Kara said to Stephanie who gave a nod. She turned to the computer. She had some searching to do.

Rae stood in STAR Labs, eyes on the little girl in the bed, attached to machines. So different from the last time she had seen her on Karry.

"How's the CCPD going?" Rae asked. She had been standing here with the dogs guarding while the CCPD cleared the path for them. That was taking time away from their lead.

"Almost ready," Sara replied. She had been keeping track from Watchtower.

"We're almost ready here," HP said. She had been getting the van ready. "One of my best employees I am putting behind the wheel. My own son." Jess came up in his human attire and gave Rae a nod, who smirked. "I believe you two know each other. Right, Angel?"

"She knows," Rae said, pausing.

"Apparently," Jess said, stunned,

"You're my son. I raised you. Of course, I know," HP smirked. "I'll be in the back to monitor her while we travel. Would also like to make sure she's transferred safely."

Rae gave a nod and a smile to the woman. "At least HR is not around," Rae commented.

"Uncle HR went on vacation with Tracey, who I think might be my aunt soon," Jess said, going to get into the truck.

HP rolled Star out the back and into the waiting truck, getting in the back with her. "Superdog, Flash Pup, inside," Rae said and the two dogs hopped up. "If anyone who's not me opens these doors you two attack. Got it?" The dogs barked, taking a sitting position and looking at the doors as Rae closed them. "I'm going to run in front, Jess. Keep on my trail."

"Easy enough," Jess commented back as Rae started to run.

The CCPD did good work blocking off the roads and waiting for the truck to come. She heard in her ear two police cars starting to follow. They were taking a request from the Justice League seriously.

"I see the truck passing," Thea said from her position on top of a building. "I don't see…" Thea's sentence was cut off as she had to dodge a sudden attack; turning around, she saw Malcolm Merlyn and Shellcase. "Injustice Alliance is here! I got Dark Archer and Shellcase."

"Thea," Malcolm said. "Should have known. You know I never cared before, but now I wonder… are you my daughter?"

"God no," Thea gave a laugh as she started to attack.

"Thea, I'm coming!" Tommy said, joining his sister in the fight with the two.

"Anyone else have any other members?" Rae asked, looking around and then noticed ice forming on the road. "Jess, stop the truck now." Jess stepped on the breaks as fast as he could. Killer Frost, Harley Quinn, and Joker had appeared.

"You have no rights to the girl! She's Blackfire's sister," Killer Frost called. "And we are going to save her, not you."

"You're going to kill her," Rae countered, dodging icicles Killer Frost threw as Joker and Harley moved forward with baseball bats. Rae threw a lightning bolt at them which they barely dodged when a scream was heard; Laurel appearing on scene along with Valor not far behind them. "Justice League," Rae said with a smirk.

"Flash, someone here is opening the back," Jess called.

"Take care of this," Rae told her League, indicating the three Injustice leaders.

Running to the back of the truck, she got there in time to see Clarky and Krypto attack Catwoman and Cheetah. "Good doggys," Rae mumbled, seeing Blackfire. She had the device in her hand and was going for her sister. "Blackfire, stop!" Rae called, with HP standing in front of Star now. "That's not going to heal her. You're going to kill her if you use that."

"I don't believe you," Blackfire said, lighting up her eyes. "Move aside."

"The Injustice Alliance are not your friends," Rae said. "They only want you for your power. They are not good people. You can back out of this right now and I will protect you, but if you continue there's nothing I can do for you."

"They have done more for me than your League ever did!" Blackfire stated, lighting up her eyes and Rae blocked it with her helmet. Then she heard a shot and saw Joe West. Rae gave him a smile. "Superdog, Flash Pup back in here." Rae yelled and the dogs came. Rae jumped out and closed the door, using arm tornados to throw Blackfire away. "Valor. Pick up the truck now. We need to get it past the ice and out of here."

Rae was kind of regretting not grabbing Chris for this, but Mon had come up and picked up the truck and started running. Rae ran besides him, shielding the van and Mon from attacks, giving the order to only capture the Injustice Alliance if possible. The main objective was getting Star to safety.

"We're here," Mon said putting the car down.

The zap tunnel they were using was hidden in an abandoned building – not used as much anymore. It was one of the first ever put in Central-National back in the day, before the zap tunnels were easier to put around the town and more streamlined.

"I got it up and running," Adam said, as they entered the building, wheeling Star's bed out of the van.

HP was next to her now. "Go through," Rae said, and HP ran through with Star. Rae shut down the zap tunnel right after, along with the two dogs. She would go to a different one. "Justice League, she's safe. Capture the Injustice Alliance if you can."

"I think they realized this is over," Laurel said. "They are retreating."

"We got Cheetah in a police car and…." There was a pause. "Forget it. Blackfire got Cheetah out. They are going."

Rae sighed but ran out, looking over the battle. Her League was fine. She did a run and noticed Blackfire flying besides a helicopter, Donna was flying after them.

"Wonder Girl," Rae said. "Let it go. They get away, but we win." Donna stopped her chase. "I'm heading to Home Base."

-New Justice-

When Rae got to Home Base, HP and Caitlin were getting Star set up.

"HP," Rae said. "I think for safety Star should stay here." Rae knew it was not her real name. Tim had called her Kori, but Rae was used to Star.

"I think you're right," HP said with a nod. "But I would like to come and check on her."

"We'll give you a temporary code for the Zap Tunnels. Good to only come here," Rae said with a nod. "How is she?"

"Same as before, I just wish I could study her sister," HP said, and Rae raised an eyebrow. It seems Tim didn't think to let HP look over Blackfire. "Just to see… I am treating someone with no reference."

"What if you had a healthy version of her?" Rae said after a moment of staring at Star.

"That would be… helpful," HP said.

"MIA, call Karry," Rae said to their A.I. and MIA responded with an affirmative. HP gave a smirk as Karry was called and their Gideon picked up, before transferring the call to their Kara.

"Hi Kara, can you get here now? With Star?" Rae asked.

"Um… okay," Kara's voice was heard.

It was a few moments later that a portal opened, and Kara and Star through, Star hugging Rae who smiled. HP looked on, tilting her head but didn't seem too shocked.

"Hey," Rae said. "I want you to meet some people…." Rae told Star. "Now you know Caitlin. Well this is my Caitlin. We call her Wild Fire."

"Hi," Star said with a smile.

"And this is HP," Rae introduced.

"Hi," HP said with a smile. "Multiverse, huh?"

Rae gave a smirk as she continued. "And look on the bed," Rae said, bringing Star to the medical section.

"Is that me?" Star asked. Karry's Kara was behind and looked on the bed.

"Yes, your alternate. And she's not well," Rae said. "And we need you to help her."

"How?" Star asked.

"Caitlin and HP here are going to do some tests on you. Nothing painful. And those will help us help her. If you're good with it?" Rae turned to Kara Allen for the last sentence.

"It's fine," Kara Allen said with a nod.

"Okay," Star said with a nod.

"Thank you," Rae said giving Kara Allen a hug. "And Caitlin…those League of Assassin bases. Find one that can be turned into a mini-hospital; better than what we have here." Caitlin gave a nod at that as she and HP started working on running tests on Star.

"So, you're the one dating my son?" HP commented and Caitlin blinked, turning red.

"Urm…" Caitlin stated. "It's… complicated." In truth, her relationship with Jess wasn't going too well; they were trying but it didn't look good so far.

A zap tunnel opened, sparing the conversation, and Kara Lane came through. She didn't even blink at her Karry Alternate.

"Sending you a list of animals soon," Kara Lane commented to her referencing Karry's need for animals in their own Sanctuary; her alternative smiled. "We have a problem." Kara held out a tablet. "I started looking through our database. Since Robin has joined the League he has never once put anything in the system. He's been using our systems and tech, but not playing by our rules. He goes to other people's cities without alerting them, too." Rae was looking through the tablet. While Justice League were world protectors, a hero's city was important for that hero. "And taking multiple person missions on his own. He's lucky he's not dead."

"I need to go handle a jerk," Rae said and then, sighed. "Again."

-New Justice-

Rae walked back into Watchtower with Kara and the dogs by her side. Members of the Justice League were there waiting, watching.

"Robin," Rae said, deadly calm. "I'm not mad you saved them. I would have too. But afterward you handled it wrong. You put this Earth in danger. If we had known about the Galactic Conquest we would have been prepared – maybe stopped them from even coming here. Because of the way you handled Blackfire, she's now a devoted member of the Injustice Alliance. She doesn't trust us because of you. You didn't even have HP exam her to try to help Star. We have a system here. A system that could have avoided today completely if you had played by it."

"You were gone. The League was a mess," Tim tried to defend.

"And what about all these times?" Rae said holding out the tablet to him. "You have never once done anything properly. You act like a lone wolf, but you're not. You're a member of a team and you have to do things our way."

"You chose me," Tim pointed out.

"And you chose us," Rae said. "When we gave you that Justice League badge and communicator you didn't have to take it. Ask Gypsy; she rejected it. But when you did, you chose to be one of us. Chose to be this. But you decided not to."

"Because you're so great," Tim said. "You just gambled me and those two children away on a fight. If Supergirl had lost…"

"I trusted her to win. I took the better option for this planet to clean up your mess," Rae said. "You'll start acting like a member of the Justice League."

Tim opened his mouth. Tried to form words. His anger growing as he tried to find something to say. And then he just balled his hand out into a fist and moved to punch Rae. Rae easily avoided it, grabbing his arm and flipping him over onto his back. Everyone was stunned at the scene. Clarky reacted fast, jumping on top of Tim and growling, the vigilante not daring to move afraid the dog would bite.

"You know before you were in the League we had another member who liked to disobey order," Rae said. "Premo was a class-A jerk back in the day. Spying on member, disobeying orders… But one line he never crossed was attacking members of the League! I was too scared to kick him out, the new Justice League was too new… but not anymore."

Rae took a deep breath. "You were a mistake. You got in because of your connection to Dick and Dinah, but you were clearly not ready," Rae crouched down and took the Justice League badge from Tim's outfit. Then, with her speed, Rae grabbed the communicator. "Clarky, off." Clarky moved off. "Get out of my tower!" Rae helped Tim to his feet as she said it.

"You can't do this…" Tim said looking around – but the rest of the League were not stepping up to help him. "Laurel?" He turned to his cousin, at least the one who liked him. Sara had a smirk on her face.

"Tim…" Laurel sighed, shaking her head. "You crossed a line. You better go." Winn opened a zap tunnel to Bludhaven and Tim sighed, but moved through it.

"Disconnect his codes and his computers," Rae told the nerds, who nodded, going to the computers.

"That was brilliant!" Sara finally said, standing up and hugging Rae. "Thank you." Rae frowned, not expecting that reaction.

"You're welcome…?" Rae said, then turned to Stephanie. "Batgirl. Good job today." Stephanie had been so worried Rae would yell at her, but that shocked her.

"What?" Stephanie said. "But… I investigated the Injustice Alliance on my own. I did everything Robin did. I was a lone wolf."

"You're not a member of the League. You didn't know of the Alliance. Yes, you are a lone wolf, and yet when you realized things were above your head and you needed the League, you alerted us. You acted more like a member of this team than Robin has ever done. You make Barbra proud, wearing her outfit." Rae held out her hand which Stephanie stood up and then awkwardly took. Very happy. "I won't make any promises to you, but make sure your brother knows you might be joining soon. I don't need a headache from him when you do."

Stephanie laughed and then smiled. "Send Batgirl home," Rae said to the nerds, who opened a zap tunnel. "And everyone can go. We're done for the night."

-New Justice-

"You know, you should probably hang out in the yellow sun tonight," Rae said once she, Kara, and the dogs were home. Krypto went to snuggle with his mate while Clarky avoided his siblings. "My aunt and uncle would let us hang." Clarky gave a bark, possibly missing his old home in Central-National where he didn't have other dogs to contend with.

"I like it here," Kara said and Rae smiled. "I'm just a little sore. That was a good fight." Kara laid on the couch. "So, what's on your mind?" Kara knew Rae had been deep in thought since everything with Robin.

"Twice," Rae said. "We let someone in the League we shouldn't have twice. Frankie was on me," she had made the sole decision on Frankie back when the old League had died. The second person she had added to the League; Kara being the third. "But Robin, there was a fair vote there. And we made the wrong call… I can't help but feel that something slipped. I need… we need to have a full League meeting. Tomorrow."

"Okay," Kara said with a nod. Rae had something planned and she was curious what it was as Rae took out her communicator and messaged the entire League to be at Watchtower tomorrow.

-New Justice-

The next day Rae waited as her entire League entered. She let everyone to settle down before she started.

"Batman," She had been practicing this speech in her head for the entire night – it had been the first night since she had left the speed force that she couldn't sleep, "used to have very strict standard on who got into the League. At the beginning of every vote he would repeat them."

"Would you like me to relay them?" Red Tornado interrupted.

"No," Rae, Animal Man, and Mon all said together and then Rae looked at Mon, confused.

"I might not have all of the original memories, but that is in my head," Mon said and Rae gave him a smile and a pat on the back as she walked past him, walking among her League.

"Back to what I was saying," Rae said. "When I started rebuilding, I left those standards behind. And I'm glad I did because some of my best members would have never gotten into the League. Atom, Stopwatch, Wonder Girl, Kara." Rae gave Kara a smile. "Just to name a few. I don't want to go back to the old standards, because this League, you all, are the best of the best. You are just as good as the old League, no, scratch that – you are better. And I am proud to have put you together. I am proud to be leader of this team."

Rae took a breath. "That said, something needs to change. Clearly from yesterday," Rae said. "I'm sorry that happened, but Robin was not up to what we needed. I should have never even put him up for a vote but I was blinded by his connected to Nightwing and our very own Canaries. Just because someone has a connection to current or former League members does not make them League material. And we are no longer in desperate need for new members. If I had to fight the rest of my days with just you all by my side I would gladly do it. So, I am implementing one, just one, new clause for all new members – and that is before anyone gets a vote on, they need to have worked with members of the current Justice League or the entire League multiple times. No more one-persons-word for backing. They need to be tested beforehand. I will also be implementing a before voting system. Someone I think is ready will be told to you a week beforehand. If anyone has any serious concerns about the new potential members I want you to come to me. Does anyone have any problems with this?"

No one said anything and Rae saw nods. "Good," Rae said. "All that on the table, Batgirl has worked with this League many times. She joined us for the war. I think she's ready. She acts like a team member. I am scheduling a vote for her for one week from today. Go to Coast City if you want, test her on your own, look at her battle records. If anyone has any major concerns let me know before the week is up. If I agree it's too big and she can't be voted on the vote will be called off. She won't even know. Got it?"

There was a round of yeses. "And before I let you all go there is one more thing I want to say," Rae said, the others patient now. "I consider you all family. That's why you all got those invites in the mail to my wedding. And I am very lucky to have you all as family." She shared a look with Kara at this before chuckling, "And now you can go."

Kara put an arm around Rae, the only other League member who hadn't been seated, and kissed her cheek. "That was very good," Kara whispered as a cellphone rang and Laurel answered.

She seemed to listen for a few moments only saying short sentences before hanging up.

"Dinah's awake," Laurel said, making those remaining in Watchtower look to her.

"One hell of a timing," Rae said with a smile. "Go. Give her love from all of us here."

"I'm coming too!" Sara said, separating from her husband who made a face. "Me and the baby are good, Tommy."

"And zap tunnels are safe for pregnancy," Winn interrupted. "There was a lot of information about it in our systems – not sure why since we're the only ones who use zap tunnels. You should read, Black Arrow."

"See," Sara said, and Tommy gave a nod, letting Sara go off with Laurel and Thea to Starling.

-New Justice-

Dinah was awake in her bed when the three got there.

"Hey," Dinah said with a smile, her voice a little weak as Laurel hugged her and Thea. Sara coming up giving her a hug afterward.

"You woke up right in time," Thea said. "Before Sara here starts getting fat."

Sara rolled her eyes. "I'm pregnant," Sara said. "And married. To Tommy."

"Oh, wow," Dinah said, taking in the news. "And where's Tim?"

"Um… he can't get here from Bludhaven so fast," Laurel said.

"Zap tunnel?" Dinah whispered, wanting to see her brother.

"He's… no longer allowed to use them," Laurel said, sharing a look with Thea. "Rae kicked him out." Dinah was shocked at this.

"I know he can be a little unruly…" Dinah started.

"He deserved it, but we'll tell you when we're more private." Laurel knew anyone could be listening here. "Arthur went out with Moria today but I'm sure he'll want to come and see his Aunt Dinah." Dinah smiled as the three girls continued telling her more what they could, what she'd missed, without revealing their secret.

-New Justice-

Malcolm Merlyn signaled for Shellcase, otherwise known as Zheng, to separate from the rest of the Alliance who were plotting their next scheme. Blackfire seemed to be all in with them now.

"Remember when we joined this, and we were unsure what we wanted from it?" Malcolm said.

"Yeah," Zheng said. The two had joined, figuring they could use the Alliance later.

"I figured it out," Malcolm said. "I made a mistake years ago; I didn't care about my kids. I thought they would make me weak but look at them…. strong but so loyal to the Justice League. I'm going to be a grandpa soon. I can't make the same mistake again. I want my grandchild."

"Whoa, that kid will be completely protected by the Justice League! We'd have to take them all on," Zheng said.

"When this Alliance gets stronger," Malcolm said, looking over at the small group, "we can use them to get my grandson."

"Sounds like a plan," a voice said, but it was not Zheng. Killer Frost had appeared behind them. "If you want your grandchild, there's no reason to keep it a secret. This Alliance is for all of us to get around the Justice League to get what we want. Whether it be money, jewels, chaos, revenge, or even your grandkid. How much time before the baby is born?"

"I did some digging," Malcolm admitted. "And not until November."

"Then we have some time," Killer Frost said with a nod.

Killer Frost was not the only one listening; Catwoman had heard everything and, unlike Killer Frost, she wasn't as thrilled by what she heard. It was not the first time she thought about leaving this group, but she felt she should stay longer. Just in case.

Note: I mentioned either at the end of last season or on Facebook that either Tim was going to die this season or Dinah would, depended on how well Tim fitted in. This was going to be the deciding chapter, but then Tim started to feel more like a rouge, making me decide not to kill either one (much to Sigma's joy); although Dinah has some serious lasting injuries that I'll get more into in upcoming episodes.
