peachy.
"they cannot invade us this is santuary." a girl with white hair spoke up.
"they can't and they won't. I invited them."
silence filled the air.
"who knows. they want us." caroline said with a hint of anger gesturing to the three of them.
"that is why I wish to talk to them. Once they know who are to me and the compound they will let you go I swear."gatekeeper said with seriousness.she pinched the bridge of her nose."but some will be on standby. once they harm any of you three...they will not return. And i will raise security."
"that is all."
his phone vibrated.it was artemis.
the league is heading to you.
"dammit. the whole league is here."
"what do we do?" glitch asked.
"let them be our guests"gatekeeper replied and they all went to the hanger.
the four of them stood there. as the bio ship landed.
the original league walked to meet the four.
"the capes and the tights in one ship." gatekeeper said while narrowing her eyes.
"gatekeeper."batman greeted.
"follow me."she simply said before walking off with the trio.
they ended up in a meeting room.
"so...I heard that you want these three. but you can't"she stated
"why can't we."wonder woman said with a hint of anger.
"you are a warrior of an island filled with women and any man who enters can be killed on the spot. well this island works the same way."
"what are you trying to say." wonder woman argued.
"they claimed santuary because they need a home. once they claim a home they have tasks to complete because they wanted to be under my command"
superman flew infront of her. suddenly every moved.
wonder woman held glitch as her body glowed. green lantern had his ring ready as abigail aimed her stun gun at him. batman stood still. the flash was having a staring contest with wally.
gatekeeper had a gun of superman's head. he smirked.
"go ahead. try me."
she clicked the gun."i dont think you would like this bullet."suddenly everyone noticed it.
kryptonite bullets.
there was a whoosh before a voice was heard.
"or this blade at you back." buster said as a glowing green blade was pressed to superman's back.
a kryptonite blade. but wally questioned it.she had the s symbol on her armband so..
'a kryptonian that is using kryptonite.'
she moved around him. putting the blade on his throat.
"stand down. We are here to talk about peace not start a bloodbath."she dropped her blade and sheathed it.
soon every dropped their stances.
"you want the truth." gatekeeper spat."here is the truth. they claimed their home here. since when did the justice league define laws. here is our law. when you have no home. you can have santuary here. they claimed. they live upon this islands laws."
she turned to face buster."let them live in a guest pent for the night. in the morning they leave. the three are staying here. no exceptions."
buster nodded as she led them out.
"i need a breather."
"I'll get the whiskey."abigail said with a soft smile.
--
nightfall came and glitch was staring at the view in the city. suddenly her phone rang.she chuckled at the annoying ringtone before picking it up.
"hey bart"
"hey. so how was your day."
she giggled."well the league did not take the info well about wally,me and abi staying where we are.you?"
"wait...you guys are not coming back."
she noticed the sad tone.
"no we are not staying here forever. we can visit but with the league all riled up its gonna be hard. but back to you."
"oh yeah. we wanted to come but the league did not let us. they so crashed the mode."
"well i hope i get to see you soon bart."
"yeah you too. stay safe."
glitch ended the call. she tucks herself in her bed and she decided to text bart.
to bart :
i love you: *
instantly he replied back.
from bart:
love you too babe*
she slept that night with a smile on her face.
--
all the staff of the compound was asleep except a certain gatekeeper. she was typing furiously on the computers infront of her.
"you drank whiskey without me."a voice said.
gatekeeper turned to face banshee.
"well there is a reason why there's two glasses "she replied sitting down and pouring.
"I heard. How are the three."
"shaken up.how about you and zyrus."
"the recon was done and she's decrypting the files from your friend at the Gotham airport. speaking of friends"she gave a tablet to gatekeeper. "he was found dead behind a couple of shipping containers at the docks in gotham."
"they found out.this is not getting us closer."
"who knows Gotham kills for whatever the reason."
she nodded her head."I was...thinking of a compromise. between us and the justice league."
"how?"
"they can talk and work with them but they will respectfully uphold any request involving the three. when they have a long mission they go through me."
"did you talk to them about it."
"not yet but I think they would accept it."
"only glitch and wally are likely to accept. Abigail is already home."
"why do think that."
"well glitch and wally has taken a fancy over two members of the league."
"oh well. young love .cheers."
--
wally walked up to the meeting place with two paper bags in his hands. he entered the room to see the justice league,gatekeeper and buster.
"where have you been?" gatekeeper asked.he just raised the paper bag.
"Chinese food?"
Roger stood up from one of the computers and took the bag."your a lifesaver."he said as he left.
he placed the other bag on the table."what is it?"
"I decided that you can work with the league but they must request to me first. are you in?"
"no." the league was shocked by his answer."i was better off when you thought I was dead."
"you realize Caroline agreed."buster said.
"that's because she has nothing to lose. there is more to this than joining the league again." he glanced at his uncle."I am sorry.
