Chapter 2: Batfamily

Location: Watchtower-Batman's lab

Shayera followed Batman (Bruce Wayne) down to his personal lab. Neither said a word as they made their way nor when then entered the lab. Bruce just went to his computer and pulled up plans on what can only be described as a grappling gun with a mission head attachment. Bruce took one look at Shayera and turned back to his work.

"What's wrong with you," Batman asked.

"What's wrong is everything," Shayera said, pulling a chair up to Bruce's workbench.

"Explain," Batman said.

"Explain?...You mean explain how everyone thinks I'm some sort of dooms day bring . Or how Vixen keeps pointing out how she won. Or how whenever I look at John (Green Lantern) my heart aches with knowing that I has a son I will never met," Shayera ranted, "What do you have to say to that?"

"You're not bringing about the end of the world, and new members are no better than children. How is she doing that? And he's an idiot," Batman said, dismissing most of her problems.

"Every meat on the lunch bar was some type of bird," Shayera deadpanned.

"Which says more about her than you," Batman said, giving her a look before going back to work.

"I'm just so tried of everything happening to me," Shayera said, burying her face in her hands.

"Exhaustion can be a sign of a medical condition or underlying illness, such as: acute liver failure, anemia, cancer, COPD, Emphysema, heart disease, Hyperthyroidism, Hypothyroidism, restless legs syndrome, and sleep apnea. Also, fatigue is a common symptom of mental health problems, like: anxiety, depression, grief, and stress," Batman said, not looking up from his work.

"What," Shayera asked, looking up from her hands.

"Take a night off," Batman said, waving her out of his lab.

~JUSTICE LEAGUE~

Location: Gotham Clock Tower

Barbara Gordon(Oracle) was sitting at the control center of her computer running her scanners. Apparently Batman had seen something the other day and couldn't figure out what it was, so he asked for her to look at it. Helena Bertinelli(Huntress) was there also, grading papers in the kitchen.

Barbara was typing away at the computer, when she noticed someone by the balcony door. Helena noticed the person as well, and fired an arrow. The arrow lodged itself in the wall, an inch from Dick's head.

"Poor aim," Dick Grayson(Nightwing) said, pulling the arrow from the wall.

"Warning shot," Helena replied, turning back to her paper.

"If she kill you, the league will have even more issues with her," Barbara commented.

"Speaking of them…how you handling all the drama at the only space-orbiting psych ward," Helena asked.

"Filled with every kind of nut-job there is...When you coming back," Dick asked, walking over and laying the arrow bolt on the table beside her.

"Never...They wear those white caps a little too bright for me," Helena said, looking up at him.

"Any reason you are lurking in the doorway," Barbara asked, not looking away from the scan.

"I'm in New York for work and stopped by," Dick said, walking up to the control center platform.

"You gonna visit Batman," Barbara asked, spinning her chair around to face him.

"Don't start," Dick said, leaning against the railing of the platform.

"Its been a year…I know you're both stubborn, but one of you needs to be a grownup," Barbara said.

"We're not kids anymore, Barbs…I'm standing by my decision," Dick said.

"Which is a much of-" Barbara started, but was interrupted by her scanner beeping.

"Then let's go see what they fuss is about," Helena said, as the headed up to Barbara little command central.

"What are we looking at," Dick said, pushing the pending argument for another time.

"This is a scan of the North Atlantic Ocean magnetic disruptions and ERNG outputs from six months ago-fairly normal mild output," Barbara said, showing one map scan and then switching to another, "Every since then there's been and increase all across the map."

"Okay so blame global warming," Helena said, "What does this have to do with anything?"

"Nyphomic Octoiron IVgq," Barbara said, pulling up a different window molecular structure of some compound.

"I've seen like that before," Dick said, "Radiation trail...When Bruce was tracking a Thanagarian weapon shipment by TwoFace after the invasion.

"That metal is off world. It shouldn't be here," Barbara said, turning to Dick, "Didn't the league claim to have found all the weapons from the invasion?"

"They did," Dick said.

"Apparently not true," Helena said, "What does this mean?"

"Something's coming," Barbara said, looking back to the scan.

"Wrong…Something's here," Dick said.
