Chapter 11
MEMO
To: Members of the Green Arrow Movement
From: Kara Kent
Date: November 4, 2058
Subject: Solution
Fellow Comrades,
It appears as though the Council is trying to impede upon our most treasured institution.
"And also, the Green Arrow Movement MAY NOT meet in the mess hall. The Council has requested that all current members disband the group. There may be unfortunate consequences if this fails to happen."
Therefore, we must do the following:
1. We will meet in the recreation room. We must be loud.
2. Gear will broadcast our rallies over the intercom system (Unless, of course, there is business being discussed that the Council must not know about.)
3. Since "all current members must disband the group", we shall disband the Green Arrow Movement and reform under the title The Green Arrow Society.
4. Our illustrious leader, Oliver Queen, shall now be called the Supreme Chancellor
Sincerely,
Kara Kent
High Secretary of the Green Arrow Society

The Green Arrow Society? That's clever. I'll bet that Clark wasn't expecting that. Then again, he probably wasn't expecting Kara to join in on the fun.
By the way, Ollie has named me as his second-in-command. My official title is High Commander. Kara is the High Secretary, Dinah is the First Lady, Emily Queen has been named Ollie's Heir Apparent (in case someone should assassinate him), Helena has been named Head of the Green Arrow Intelligence Network, Terry is High Lieutenant, Richie is Head of the Communications department, Dick is Head of the War Department, and Virgil is Head of the Propaganda Department.
I almost feel sorry for Clark. Almost.
I also had one of my granddaughters deliver my letter to Diana this morning. I have yet to hear a reply.
High Commander Wallace Rudolph West, signing out.

Excerpt from Diana's Phone Conversation with Shayera Stewart
Date: November 4, 2058
Diana: Shayera? What the hell is going on?
Shayera: (laughing)
Diana: Shayera…
Shayera: Sorry. It's just so stupid that it's funny.
Diana:...?
Diana: You mind explaining that? Wait…hold on. Let me read Wally's letter to you first.
Shayera: Wally wrote you a letter? Gods…this should be good.
Diana:
"Dear Diana,
Would you please please PLEASE do me a favor? Bruce and Clark, but especially Bruce, need your very firm touch to bring them back into line. Everyone is rebelling against them. If you get a chance, you should read the Justice League Daily Service Announcements.
I know you'll enjoy this. If you're still wanting to get Bruce back for That Unmentionable Thing, then this is the time to do it. Bruce and Clark are going to lose this battle, so be on the winning side. (Or stand on the sidelines and laugh, that works too.)
Hope to hear from you.
Adios!
Wally"
Shayera: How'd he find out about That Unmentionable Thing? I thought that was just between us, Barbara and Lois…Oh. That explains it. Lois probably told Linda.
Diana: Actually, I think J'onn's the one who told him. He found out and Wally bribed him with oreos.
Shayera: I swear. Men can't keep secrets.
Diana: Yes, they spend most of their time gossiping when they should be working. So, what exactly is Wally talking about? What have I missed?
Shayera: Let me start from the beginning…

The Justice League Daily Service Announcement
Date: November 5, 2058
Fellow Leaguers,
While we appreciate the fact that the Green Arrow Movement has been disbanded, we approve even less of its replacement. When we stated that all current members of the Green Arrow Movement must disband, we did not mean for all current members to reform under a different name.
"High Chancellor" Oliver Queen has temporarily been banned from the WatchTower. Also, all movements, parties, etc. that are related to the Green Arrow have been banned. If this is not followed, then the Council will be forced to resort to extreme measures.
Also, the Green Lantern Corps has asked for our aid in capturing a dangerous warlord. We need five volunteers.
Have a nice day.

The League of Disgruntled Heroes Daily Announcement
Date: November 5, 2058
Fellow Comrades,
It appears that the time for Revolution is at hand (After the mission with the Green Lantern Corps.). We must overthrow the tyrannical regime and replace the High Chancellor as the new head of the Justice League.
Also, as "all movements, parties, etc. that are related to the Green Arrow have been banned." we would like to announce the formation of the Terry McGinnis and Wally West Fan Clubs.
That is all.
Have a nice day.

All right! I've got a fan club!
This almost makes up for the fact that I'm still banned from the computer. I haven't heard anything from Diana yet. I was sure that she'd want to help. I guess I'll give her another day before I move on to plan B.
(Plan B: Wally has two more letters that he's planning to give to Selena and Zatanna.)
You know, come to think of it, I think I'll go ahead and do plan B. It'll make Plan A more fun.
I wonder what Bruce is doing now?
………………………………………………………………………………………………
(Bruce knows that Terry is his son. However, no one else but Waller knows.)
An excerpt from Bruce Wayne's journal:
November 5, 2058
There is no possible way that Terry can be my son. I've rechecked a blood sample, but it still shows that I'm his genetic father. Damn Waller. She must have put something into his genetic matrix.
Wally is up to something. I'm not sure what. As I planned, Linda has banned him from the computer. However, knowing Wally, he has some even more horrific scheme floating around in that twisted mind of his.
I also feel no pity for Clark. While I disprove of how members of the Justice League are handling their "rebellion", I do have to say that the boyscout has had it coming for years. I just don't see why I have to be involved in this.
I'm going to kill Wallace West.
Then again, perhaps that isn't a smart idea. Linda will come after me. She's even more dangerous than Wally. Knowing her, she'd somehow manage to form a coalition of angry women against me.
I don't think I could survive that.
No, my first plan is much more logical. I must break Wally West.
However, to do that, I suppose I shall have to break Oliver as well. Unfortunately, as much as I find the thought distasteful, Clark and I must join forces against these two.
I must be going, Terry has returned. It is time for our daily argument session. Although I shall never tell him this, I have found these sessions to be very amusing. He is becoming quite clever with his choice of words.
He also, unfortunately, has inherited my stubbornness.
I must think of a way to turn him back to my side.

Still no answer from Diana. I sent letters to Zaranna and Selina. I hope they write back.
Damn it.
I'm so bored. Every one in the League is on some kind of mission today. Ollie and I would get together, but Linda's watching me like a hawk. I'm starting to go crazy.
Hey! The phone's ringing.
(Wally zooms off and returns two minutes later.)
That was Diana! She's agreed to help! Well, sort of. She said that I must cooperate under her own terms. That's okay though. I can handle that.
I just heard Linda sigh in the other room. I don't see why she doesn't help me on this. She might have fun. Oh well. Her loss.

Subject: Wally
Barbara,
I know we don't talk very much, but could you explain to me what the hell is going on? I've heard some of what has been going on the League, but not much. Wally just dropped off a letter at my apartment today.
I'm thinking about helping him, if only to annoy Bruce. However, I'd like to know the full story first. Could you please fill me in?
Selina
