Chapter 2: Teammates Part I

"Hiding like cowards is not the Amazon way," Diana declared. The mission had been for the league to split up and she in which location the Legion of Doom was residing. The groups were Flash and Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and Superman, and Batman and Wonder Woman. Batman and Wonder Woman had found their location and it was an old and abandoned picture gallery. Currently they were sitting on the rooftop across the street from them.

"We're not hiding," Batman told her. "We're planning. I've already told the others that they're here."

"So we're just going to sit here and wait?" Wonder Woman questioned. "They might have already left by the time the others get here."

"No," Batman responded. "We're not. But going in there head on to take them out is suicide. They've got us both out numbered and out-powered."

"So what's the plan?" Wonder Woman asked.

"We're gonna try and pick them off one by one but first we need to cut the power," Batman said. He reached into his belt to grab the line launcher.

"No need," she told him. She grabbed him underneath his shoulders and flew them onto the top of the old picture gallery. She dropped him. He glared at her. "What? It's faster." He quietly and quickly removed the panel into the air ducts and climbed inside. Wonder Woman followed after him. "It's so cramped in here."

"Ssshhh," he said. They made their way through the air ducts and found the control box. They got out of the air duct and Batman opened up the control box.

"Wouldn't they have security cameras in a place like this?" Wonder Woman questioned.

"Already took care of it," Batman responded. "I'm replaying footage from yesterday in this room. They won't know we're here." He then flipped a switch. He took out a pair of night vision goggles. "You'll need these." She took them and put them on. He then flipped another switch and the lights in that room went out. "Follow me."

"So do those switches do?" Wonder Woman asked.

"They control the power in each room," Batman answered. "And since this building's kind of old they won't suspect that someone's here." He looked down at his screen on his arm. "Copperhead and Star Sapphire are coming." He turned off the screen. "I"ll take care of Copperhead. You take Star Sapphire." The door entered and they split up. They walked in and Star Sapphire used her ring as a flashlight.

"Why is it I always end up doing the grunt work?" Copperhead complained.

"Hush," Star Sapphire responded. "I don't like this anymore than you do but..." Batman purposely hit a trash can.

"What was that?" Copperhead asked.

"Probably nothing," Star Sapphire said. "You're just being scared."

"I am not," Copperhead responded. "And I'm gonna see what it was?" He went over to that area while Star Sapphire kept going towards the control box. Copperhead didn't see anything. Batman was right behind him. Batman grabbed him and knocked him out. Star Sapphire perked up.

"Who's there?" she demanded. Wonder Woman was right behind her and she knocked her out. Batman dragged out Copperhead.

"How many more?" Wonder Woman asked.

"Five, I believe," Batman said.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Wonder Woman responded.

"Brainiac's returned?" Diana questioned. She was at the Hall of Justice where Supergirl, the new Green Lantern, Aquagirl, Blue Beetle, Firestorm, and Big Barda were. They were the new Justice League. Supergirl nodded.

"Yes and we need as much help as we can get to beat him," Supergirl said. "I know you don't fight anymore but we need all hands on deck."

"Yes of course I'll help," Diana said seriously. "Anyway I can."

"How do we know that we can trust you?" Big Barda responded.

"Barda!" Supergirl exclaimed.

"Well she DID help Superman take over the world," Barda reminded her. "And killed a bunch people including heroes."

"You're right I did," Diana responded. "And I served time for it. And once this over I will going back into retirement."

"Where have you even been staying?" the new Green Lantern asked. "The world hates you."

"Wayne Manor," Diana answered. "Kara, would it be alright if I stayed here while we're planning to take down Brainiac?"

"Of course," Supergirl responded. "You're old room is still available."

"Thank you," Diana said. She then walked out of the main room and into her old room.

"Are you sure we can trust her?" Aquagirl asked.

"If I don't we don't really don't have much of a choice," Supergirl responded. "We need as much help as we can get."

"She seems different though," Firestorm said. "At least from when we fought against her. She seems sad."

"Do you think she's okay?" Blue Beetle asked.

"I don't know," Supergirl admitted. "But she's probably fine."

Diana wasn't. She walked into her room and her mind was filled with memories. She was on the brink of tears and then she saw a dusty photograph of her and the League which pushed her over. She cried onto her bed.

"Why did I do it?" Diana asked. "Why? Why did I betray them?"
