wally entered the meeting room as gatekeeper and zya were talking details on a map.
"you wanted to see me"wally said.
"yep. You've met buster correct?"gatekeeper asked as she leaned at a table filled with files."more or less."he replied.
"good. you two are going undercover with Roger. the Gotham airport." she showed a layout of the airport."we got a clue that a man named Michael role has an important part in this tech smuggling. I want you to be lookout as buster intercepts the man. Roger will be your getaway man on standby."
"by that you mean..."wally questioned because gatekeeper has something on her sleeve.
"he shoots a gun making people evacuate. you go with the flow and you're out."
"got it"
"good. tomorrow at noon."

batman stood infront of the batcomputer looking at footage of the murder at the bar.he rewind the clip. his eyes narrowed. it didn't add up. if someone caught her, recoil would make blood splatter. and throwing a knife at that distance was near impossible . and they're equal level and counting the wind,it couldn't have hit her dead center.
"found anything." Clark started.
"not yet."
"I can tell you one thing. the figure had good aim.it was already there."
"banshee isn't dead."
"how."
slow clapping was heard. both superman and batman turned to face a figure on the second level railway of the Batcave.
"the greatest detective yet"
"gatekeeper."
the figure steeped out the shadows. she wore a mask that made her seem she had no mouth. instead of her red hair it was pitch black."how did found out exactly."sarcasm lace in her voice.
"the knife was an illusion.it was already there. the figure was a distraction so banshee could escape without us noticing."
he faced her."you took the three fugitives.they claimed sanctuary to you."
she narrowed her eyes."they are innocent And they pull their weight."
"they made a man self combust."
"it wasn't them." she passed an envelope to him."we analysed the body.someone implanted something that can be detonated from a distance. the people who worked with this special snowflake are forced and if this bomb was ever pulled out by force they die immediately."
batman scanned the pictures and the results."superman if you don't mind?"he asked.
he nodded before leaving the Batcave.
"how did you get here."
"I always knew this place. I do know Alfred comes down here half an hour after I am done here So..."
"you are still not convinced?"
"those three fugitives are under my protection. unless you want to start a war I suggest you don't invade the island."
"I never stopped."
"and you think I did."she pulled down his cowl and stared at him. he pressed her on a nearby table. she raise her hand to caress his cheek.
"you were the one who walked away Bruce. enemies might fear the cowl but your still the one I cared about.
they pressed their lips together softly.gatekeeper moved her arms around his neck and Bruce wrapped his arms on her waist. they pulled apart and she looked away.
"you can't touch them. they are my responsibility not the justice league's" she said walking away.

"hey you guys ready." Roger said through the comms as wally sat on a nearby bench.
"I see him. wally."buster ordered.wally walked towards a speeding buster before he bumped into her with a little force. she acted like she fell and hit the man's luggage . she looked at her before pretending to care before turning around.
"I am so sorry Monsieur."she started with a rather convincing French accent. and the plan was in motion.
wally looked around as buster acted out her role."data is up and running. sending it to sanctuary."Roger announced."shit. someone is closing in on our target. wally turn her around." he saw the figure. his breath hitched.
artemis
he walked a little faster bumping into her, he took her arm and dragged her to a small photo booth at the airport. he pinned her on the wall.
"wally..what are you-" he couldn't help it. he crashed his lips to hers. she tensed but she complied to the kiss.
he pulled away both out of breath. he slipped a phone on her jacket pocket. "hold on to that" he said as their lips brushed.
"data transfer complete. I will set up escape." wally pulled away and walked out. artemis followed next looking around for the speedster but he was nowhere to be seen.
wally walked slowly with his hood up. gunshots were heard he pretended to panic. Roger screamed and pointed to their target who was reaching for something in his pocket."he has gun" he said with a German accent. soon people started exiting the airport . the three ran to their car and drove off.
"got anything."
"his phone number." buster said raising a business card."some files were coded so it may take time to get the next detail."
they drove to the jet at a private airspace. once they arrived at the compound they were debriefed and wally had timw to actually wander. he walked to whose knows where when he heard it.music.
he walked around following the sound as it got louder. until he stopped at a door. he looked in the slightly opened door. and he saw abigail dancing. she twirled and flipped with grace until the song ended.
"wally peeking is not very manly." she said with a monotone voice. it startled wally making the door fully open.
"uhh.." he said trying to make an excuse. abigail just shook her head."it fine. everyone has a hobby when they have the time."
"you do this dancing thing often."
"when you have time. come."she said walking out the room making wally follow. they walked along hallways until they stopped at a door. wally took in the painted walls surrounding it.
cherry blossoms were painted with a light blue sky. japanese buildings were in the background. he traced it.
"who made this?" he asked as abigail opened the door.
"see for yourself."they entered to see caroline painting on a canvas. he took in the colorful room. the painted walls had the diffrent cities on it. one was gotham. one had metropolis. there was seattle and central city.the ceiling was painted with constallations.
"woah"
caroline smirked."I'll take that as a compliment."
"from the looks of it thats the only compliment you're gonna get from him."abagail said noticing his amazement of the room.
"you did this all by yourself."
"yep."she smiled with pride.
"why did you say that you cut aunt iris when you cut yourself in your memories."he aked her with worry.
"I like my pride less damaged if you dont mind"she said with eyebrows raised
suddenly an alarm blared out on their earpiece.they looked at each other frozen."to the meeting room. now." abigail said with seriousness.
they ran as other hard hitters enter the room. wally took it in. he saw the japanese doctor. a girl will cat ears, one was playing with a deck of cards in her hands. one in a black and gold gown. and gatekeeper with a snarl on her face.
"what is it." buster asked.
the words gatekeeper said made a chill down his spine.
"the justice league is heading to santuary."
