"What happened?"
"One word Batman, me, now then I'm taking out Toyman before he does any more damage and then, well you're going to need to do treatment because I have had it with this fight...um on second thought I'm going to conserve my energy, someone call the EDC and get some family here would ya?"
"What for?"
Katherine just points and everyone sighs at the sight of Quintessons and Sharkticons
"Those guys again?"
"Looks like, they never learn"
"Don't think we're not talking about what happened earlier"
"Wouldn't dream of it Batman"
Ultimately the EDC arrived too late to help but that was only because surprisingly enough this time League enemies didn't want to team up with EDC enemies and there was a temporary truce between the two while the Quintessons and Sharkticons teamed up and after that fight happened the League finished their own enemies with all but one going back to prison and the one that didn't go to prison was because of the fact that the enemy wasn't actually an enemy but an undercover officer who pretended to be a criminal (that story was interesting to say the least once the League heard about the reasons behind that assignment)
"So...what happened? I heard that there were Quintessons and Sharkticons around"
"Oh that's easy to explain Ultra Magnus...well okay it's both easy and complicated, the League enemies decided on a temporary truce to handle the Quintessons and Sharkticons and they were finished by the time you came into the last bit of the League fight, Toyman's acid weapons and a few others were actually helpful for once instead of an annoyance"
"You're right that is both easy and complicated, I think a few officers might stay for a couple of days just to make sure the enemy is truly gone after all..."
"I know, Quintessons don't always leave immediately and they can send a second wave days after the first thinking things are lax"
"And except with the EDC things are lax after a couple of hours it seems"
"Well for now I still have League training to do since the summer isn't quite over with yet, tell the Primes and Galvatron that I'll be home on schedule as far as everyone is aware, oh and Magnus..."
"Yes Kathy?"
"Don't you ever pull that kind of drill near the League again, not only will someone be seriously hurt next time but there's also the fact that quite frankly I wasn't very happy with you at all either"
"How do you know someone will be hurt next time?"
"Because the League was pulling punches just long enough to determine that things were a drill, but they don't normally pull those punches and I already warned them about the possibility of you guys being under enemy control and they themselves have seen that on the news as well, next time some of you attack they most likely will think it real and hurt you, and that also goes for the EDC officers, though they'll still pull their punches for the most part there's still going to be injuries involved"
"Okay that explains them, what about you?"
"How many times have you told me that you would never pull that kind of drill on me? How many times have I had to fight you guys to bring you back?"
"I'm sorry Kathy, I not only forgot that you would be with the League the entire summer I also tend to forget how young you actually are because you seem so mature all the time"
(Sighs) "I know that you tend to stay on Cybertron but I can't believe you're so forgetful about my age seeing as how I visit on a regular basis still"
"You're right, I'll work on it I promise, I'll see you when you get back home because I'm being based here for a few months"
"Got it, see you when I get back home"
Soon enough the summer training was over with and Katherine was back home
"Welcome home Kathy"
"Thanks Galvatron, did you guys talk to Magnus about what he'd done?"
"Yes and he's being punished in a way that we decided on while you were gone, and no you can't have any input now it's why we didn't talk to you when we were making this decision in the first place"
"Understood"
Katherine was quickly back into a school routine and while she didn't see Ultra Magnus frequently she did see his punishment on occasion, she also started having to fight League enemies occasionally while at school because somehow they managed to find her at school due to the fact that while after the first fight she had a disguise on via J'onn whenever she fought League enemies they still remembered her first battle against them and they finally found her and as such she had a fight on her hands. However what no one knew was that J'onn's enemies, the ones that formed the League in the first place was coming back and had allied themselves with several EDC enemies, but in the meantime they were dealing with the annoyance of League enemies attacking Katherine at school
"Okay this is getting to be annoying as when I was only seven and in England for some thing that I don't really remember all that clearly"
"We're trying Kerenai, we really are trying"
"I know Hawkgirl but still...I may be forced to leave school because of this and my family and I have been talking things over and I may be joining the League after all even though I'm still only a minor"
"What about that Ultra Magnus guy?"
"He's been reprimanded and learned his lesson, there will be no more training scenarios like the one during summer, but that doesn't mean that other scenarios might not pop up, basically the next time you fight my family it will be for real"
"Good enough"
"So what kind of training scenarios might we have next time?"
"No idea, that will be all on Magnus or whoever does training regarding you guys and it's a surprise to keep you on your guard"
"In the meantime we have a different problem to think about"
"No kidding, technically I can do my GED testing now and basically be a graduate from High School, but at the same time being that young and joining the League is not necessarily something that my family and I really thought about until this trouble came up because I am still a minor and as such they have forms they would need to sign not only for me to join the League but also if I was ever hurt and needed medical attention"
"We'll figure things out eventually, for now though looks like you're either stuck at League headquarters or at the EDC base, which is nothing new to you of course regarding the base but you get really bad cabin fever when you're cooped up for too long and you know it"
"For now it's a good thing we're on holiday because I'm getting as frustrated as you guys about these constant attacks"
Eventually though they came across a good solution where Katherine transferred to a specialized school that was highly secured and the League rotated patrols for possible trouble knowing that the EDC was also going to do their own patrols considering who was raising Katherine
"So...how will transferring schools affect your education?"
"Not sure Batman, I might still graduate on time or a little late, it all depends on what the testing and their requirements say"
"Well for now it's time for some hand to hand training with me because I can also be forced to fight against you for whatever reason and..."
"And we both need to know each other inside and out for safety, and since I haven't fought against any of you in a while best start with you right?"
"Exactly"
"Better start easy then, today I won't use any of my powers but starting tomorrow I will"
"I'm going full out"
"You do that Batman I'm going to keep myself restricted for a reason that I am not explaining"
"Understood, by the way we have EDC training robots...though Superman and Supergirl have the most trouble getting proper training with it"
"What about J'onn?"
"They managed to do something that allows him to get proper training but with the Kryptonians..."
"Right I'll let my family know that still needs worked on then, but for now let's fight, and by the way Batman you're talking to someone who's been fighting against their training robots since they were five years old"
"I'm willing to bet you've also fought your actual family as training right?"
"Oh yeah"
"Understood, you have quick reflexes, the ability to break bones easily and you breaking bones is going to be harder than normal isn't it?"
"Oh yeah"
The two start the fighting and Batman discovers part of her reasons behind not using her powers on the first day, not only was she able to tell that he wasn't ready for her to go full out but her training made her naturally faster than normal and thus able to keep up with his speed and weapons throwing
"Not bad Kerenai"
"Regular training against speedsters and the fact that quite frankly they also train me against various weapons, thrown or otherwise"
"And yet you still can't beat Flash"
"Nope, because he's as fast as Blurr and Blurr has learned to deliberately slow himself down enough to properly train me then again I don't just fight against speedsters and you guys have yet to fight against a very annoying ability"
As she said that she got a hit on Batman and could tell that he felt the blow due to his wince
"Oh?"
"Yep, you try training against someone who can become invisible and win even half the time"
"That certainly makes things interesting"
"Indeed it does and all of that on top of them being several feet higher than any of us and I have learned some very interesting fighting tactics"
"I'll bet you have, enough for the day?"
"Yes, enough for the day"
The two stop the fight and it's then made obvious that both need to catch their breaths
