AT: He's described in later chapters, but his usual costume consists of blue jeans, a denim jacket, with black, military style boots, and white denim gloves. He prefers to maintain his natural height of 5'8", but if need dictates, he can change his size to match. The size doesn't revert when he runs low on energy, but he needs to rest to regain energy to change back. From the first awakening after 8 hours sleep, he can grow 6" before he has to rest. He has dark brown hair, and blue eyes, along with fair skin, since he's a bit of a nerd, and spends a lot of time inside. Two prominent scars, one from wrist to elbow on his right arm, and one two inches long diagonally infront of his left ear. Former is the result of something that happened during the prequel, while the latter predates that.

"And, say I don't want to go?" I asked.

"You don't really have a choice." John replied. "I'm asking you to do this as a friend, but I will order it as part of your league duties."

"Then I'll quit." I shrugged. Supergirl and Zatana, leaning against the wall sighed.

"Are they always this difficult?" Kara asked. Zatanna nodded.

"All men get this way. Don't worry about it, Adam's already decided to go, but he's not about to let Lantern get off that easily." She grinned.

"How can you tell?" Kara asked.

"The way he's standing, for one thing." Zatanna replied calmly. "See how Lantern is leaning forwards, and trying to provoke him? Adam's just standing there, absolutely calm. If he gets angry, or compliant, it gives Lantern an advantage. He's calmly resisting the notion of going, and Lantern is rapidly getting irritated. Adam seems to be manuevering him into something, but what it is I can't figure out."

"Alright, I'll make you a deal. I'll go with you, as a personal favor, and all you have to do, is one thing for me." I said just as calmly as ever.

"What is it?" John asked suspisciously. I waggled my finger.

"Just that you owe me a favor is enough for the moment." I replied, with a certain amount of satisfaction.

"Fine, but I'm not going to violate any of my oaths to do it." He replied.

"I would never ask you to. So, just the four of us?" I asked cheerily. He nodded.

"Please, tell me we're taking a Javelin?" Zatanna asked. John shook his head.

"Couldn't get clearance. We're going the hard way." Three people groaned.

Hawkgirl flew over the ground, and watched carefully for any signs of Ivy, or Savage. Since she'd been told that Bane, and Quinn had left out the other direction, she wasn't watching for them. A moment later, a thought came to her, as she lay on the ground. :I probably should have been.: She rolled out of the way as a fist barreled over head, and slammed into the ground where she had been. She gripped her mace and felt it charge with energy. He swung again, and she stepped sideways, whirled around, and slammed him in the back, using Bane's own momentum against him, so that he careened forwards, and put his head through a tree. She stopped, and looked around, Bane was out cold, and not a threat, but she knew he wasn't alone. She didn't trust not seeing anyone else, and so she closed her eyes. She filtered out her breathing, then Bane's. Now the only sound around, was the birds singing softly, and leaves rustling in the breeze. Wait. What breeze? She bolted skywards, just in time, as Ivy's vines reached for her. Instead they got Bane. Hawkgirl looked around, unsure of where the next attack was coming from. It was only by freak accident that she saw Harley Quinn fire the fist gun at her. She swung her mace, and deflected the weapon. She flew back, out of the line of fire. In doing so, she never saw Savage leap. He landed on her back, and swung the orchid around, under her nose. She blacked out almost instantly. As she fell, she had only enough strength to do one thing. She threw the mace as she rolled over, aiming to land on the mace. Savage screamed as he hit.

Chi swept into the village, and found his brother in the middle of the square. Various others went about their various tasks, ignoring the two.

"Nrusa? What happened?" Chi asked.

"Four people, two men, and two women came and attacked the village. They were looking for Shayera. The cowards told them where she went, but they destroyed the village anyway. She came back, and they tried to blame it on her. She railed back at them, and then had me describe them to her. She flew south after the smaller man, and taller woman. The other two escaped to the west." Nrusa replied. "I knew you would come back, that's why I waited. I've got to go." He gripped Chi's hand, and then turned towards the house he now owned.

"Nrusa, thank you." Chi called. His brother waved. Chi turned, and vanished.

"Haven't those idiots caught her yet?" Dent snapped.

"You are a fine one to speak of idiots." Brainiac commented quietly.

"Heh, heh he's got you there." Joker laughed.

"Will you two can it?" Metallo grunted. Ultra-humanite laughed.

"Giving you a tin can ache?" He asked.

"No, a headache." He replied.

"Look if you are so concerned, go after them." Penguin suggested. "We'll wait for you."

"As a matter of fact, I think I will. Brainiac, Joker, you two are in control, until I return." Dent pushed his chair back. "Ultra-humanite, Metallo, come with me." He turned, and walked out, followed by the mentioned pair. Joker looked across at Brainiac, as they closed the door.

"Party time?" Joker asked. Brainiac sighed.
