Had this up before, but Mala had a point in her review, was okay, and it needed something else. Thanks Mala and thanks for the new last scene.

Chapter Eleven

While Roy was brought into Watchtower's med bay; Dick looked around the conference room. He had never thought he would have to deal with the Light again. Artemis, Wally, M'gann and Conner were there, along with two year old Jason Grayson who was sitting in his grandmother's chair.

The original team had the look of disbelief in their eyes. And who could blame them?

Young Jason was nervous as the adults were nervous...worried. "Um..."

"Why don't we start with Jason telling us what he overheard in the meeting?" Dick stated

"Uncle Dick...is dad going to be ok?" Jason asked, remembering how Orin looked when he found him on the sub.

"Yes, but we need to know what Queen Bee said." Dick stated.

"And why I'm here." Static asked.

"First off, the one that my meanie of an uncle was talking to...Aunt M'gann, can you find that picture in my mind?" Jason asked.

"Sure." M'gann obliged the little fire controller and when she had the memory, she connected everyone up and showed it to them.

It wasn't long before Static's eyes shot open. "It's Ebon...THAT DOES IT; he's going down this time around."

"He said that Manta was becoming a softie...and he was saying that he didn't care what Psimon's intentions were with me and Bruce." Jason said.

Virgil Sr. Looked ready to blast a wall...

"He wasn't always this bad...was he?" Artemis asked.

"Ebon? If it doesn't concern him, he could care less." Static said.

"Then he's got something going with the Light." Dick stated. "Jason, was there anything else?"

Jason nodded. "The lady...Queen Bee then came into the meeting via transmission and after Manta told her that he didn't want daddy to be experimented on, she said that his, daddy's, was the magic channels they needed. Manta said he'd rather it be grandpa Kaldur."

Conner smashed his fist into the table, breaking it.

Jason jumped, he'd never seen his uncle Conner this mad before. Conner then took a cleansing breath.

"Anything else, sweetie?" M'gann asked, hoping her calm voice would sooth Jason.

"This was the funny thing...Manta was still arguing that Psimon wasn't going anywhere with me and Bruce, then Queen Bee seemed to be in trance. Manta said that he was fine with it after that. Once he left, Ebon and Queen Bee talked and Ebon thought that Psimon used his powers on Manta, even said that Manta was resistant to tele..."

"Telepathy." everyone said.

"Yea, and then she just smiled...it was a creepy smile. It scared me."

This all got the team to thinking.

"Manta could be under the influence of Queen Bee." Dick said.

"But doesn't she have to be in the same room as the victim?" Artemis asked, not having been on either mission that dealt with her.

"I always thought so," M'gann commented.

"Even a villain's power can evolve…I suppose." Wally said as he shrugged.

"Like Ebon..."

"That's true Static. Right now, we need more data about this new Light. If they are involved, then this is larger than us...and maybe even our kids." Dick stated.

"Are we calling in the JLU?"

Dick thought on this. "...Let's wait. Right now, our enemies are only targeting us and the kids."

"I want them to target me!" Conner said. "Not the kids."

"Agreed," Dick said.

"What about us?" Jason asked.

"Jason..."

"You can't cut us out!" Jason cried and a heat was coming off his body. "They hurt my daddy! I want to hurt them!"

Dick put a hand on little Jason's shoulder. "Relax, Jason; you're just a baby right now. Let us and your parents handle this."

Jason listened to his great uncle; but he wanted his generation's voice heard. "The Master is after me, Bruce, and Rini all the time. The way he's doing this...he might be a part of this new...Light?"

"He might be." Wally said.

"Kinda reminds me of Savage." Conner stated.

"You think this Master is Vandal Savage?" Static asked.

"Not saying that, he was never one for magic. I mean the determination the Master has for Rini and the twins is the same Savage had for 'helping' the world evolve." Conner remarked.

"The Master is trying to create an evolved world?!" M'gann cried.

"His goals aren't THAT high, M'gann, but he's defiantly out for Serenity and Meygan."

"Oh...my..." Dick said out loud. As if he'd figured it out.

"Dick?" Wally said.

"Serenity can stop him. He's trying to take out all of her reinforcements..." Dick punched the wall next to him.

"But Serenity isn't easy to take out," M'gann told him.

"No one's taking your wife from you. Promise," Conner added.

"I know guys." Dick stated with a smile.

"You have me and Bruce too; NO ONE's taking out Aunt Serenity." Jason said.

Dick ruffled Jason's hair. "Thanks..."

"Uncle Dick?"

"Yeah?"

"I want to see daddy and Bruce." Jason said.

"I can contact Molly and she'll bring Bruce to Watchtower."

"Okay, thanks." Jason said, but he had a feeling that Bruce was more injured than he looked.

Dick scooped Jason into his arms. "We need to find Queen Bee. We find her, we find the Light."

Dick walked out with Jason.

"You get them; Uncle Dick." was heard as the two were out of sight.

With that, the others headed out too, they just needed to be with their families right now.

Watchtower Med Bay, Three Minutes Later

Molly had arrived and had Bruce in her arms. He was awake, and everyone could see the regret in his eyes. He jumped out of Molly's arms and ran over to Areina.

"Mommy…" Bruce said, and everyone heard the sorrow in his voice while Areina saw it in his eyes.

"Sweetheart, I know you're sorry. I've heard about Psimon's power, and even though Aunt M'gann wiped your mind of his hold, you still have the memories. It wasn't really you that said all those things, so don't worry about it." Areina said as she picked up Bruce and hugged him.

"Where's Jason?" Bruce asked as he noticed that his twin wasn't there with the family.

"Uncle Dick called a meeting, it turns out that Jason overheard some VERY important stuff, so he was asked to tell what he heard and saw." Areina stated.

As if it were perfectly timed; Dick came walking into med bay carrying little Jason. The moment the third generation fire controller saw his family, he jumped out of Dick's arms and ran over to Bruce.

The two year old future Aqualad was shocked that Jason hugged him. "Why are you hugging me….I hurt you."

"Aunt M'gann explained how Psimon's power works. I did some damage to you too, so we're even." Jason said as he released the hug.

While everyone was talking, Molly had started on Orin to get him out of pain as he was cringing with even the slightest move of his arms. "Orin….this is bad, it's going to take at least five months for you to be in ANY kind of fighting shape. Uncle Kaldur, can I use my healing magic to look at your magic channels to make sure I don't mess up Orin's?"

"Of course." Kaldur said, and with that Molly set a chair by Orin's bed and once Kaldur sat down, Molly went to work.

"After I get done with the initial healing on Orin, I'll see how I can help Garth." Molly said as she started to glow.

"For a shrimp, you're pretty powerful." La'gaan said.

"You know I can pull the air from your lungs…right." Molly remarked.

Everyone that really knew Molly laughed as La'gaan flinched at the serious tone in her voice.

"She doesn't like being called small, shrimp, short or anything like that." Dick remarked as he finally caught his breath from laughing.

Molly's glow ceased and left Kaldur, then she turned her attention back to Orin and the glow transferred to him.

Half an Hour Later

Orin was now out of pain, and at least his magic channels were reconnected and able to glow. The trauma to his muscles was going to take longer to heal, but at least there was no more disruption of his Atlantean magic. Molly did a quick check to make sure there were no internal injuries anywhere else in Orin, and after she gave him a clean bill of health; the teenage healer went to help Queen Mera's personal bodyguard.

This time it only took about half the time before the healing glow stopped on both Molly and Garth. Everyone watched and hoped that Molly had good news.

"He'll wake up anytime now; there were three broken ribs, a severe skull fracture and one of the broken ribs slightly punctured a lung." Molly said as she opened her eyes.

"Thank goodness." Areina said.

Just then, Garth started to move and soon he shot up on the bed with his tattoos glowing.

"Garth, relax my friend, the twins are safe now." Kaldur said as he was at his friend's side.

"Kaldur…how…why am I at Watchtower?" Garth asked.

"Manta hit you with a laser hidden in his rocket launcher." Bruce said.

Garth thought about this. "Right, I remember, I was protecting Queen Mera from the rocket launcher."

"Manta is full of surprises it seems." Kaldur said, thinking about the fact that his half-brother was able to infiltrate the palace…take out three powerful Atlanteans…and capture his grandsons. Not only that, but Kaldur was still steaming mad inside at what happened to Orin.

"We've talked about it, and….wait…what happened to Roy." Dick said as he noticed that Red Arrow was on a medical bed as well.

"The Hand caught him by surprise and drained his energy. From what I've learned, it takes about 12 hours to recover." Damian said.

"Okay. As I was saying, the League will be kept out of this right now. This new Light seems to be targeting us and the kids…along with Rini, Jason, and Bruce." Dick said.

"Whatever it takes, we'll stop this Light just like we did the first one." Kaldur stated.

Dick tensed up at the way Kaldur said that, but he knew what Kaldur meant. "Without the undercover part….YES; we are going to take them down….and make sure they never reform again."

Bruce and Jason were happy to hear this from their great uncle and their Atlantean grandfather. Then Jason whispered something to his brother and Bruce looked mad. He walked over to Dick and the first Robin picked up his little nephew.

"Uncle Dick….Jason said that you think the Master is going after Aunt Serenity because she can stop him. I WON'T let it happen." Bruce said as his tattoos started to glow; showing that he was ready for a fight.

"I know you won't Little Shark; Jason's already offered his services in the fight to protect her." Dick remarked as he laughed a bit.

Bruce's tattoos lost their glow and everyone nodded their heads saying that they were ready for a fight. Dick smiled and nodded his approval in their offer and so everyone that could headed out while the injured rested up.

Undisclosed Location

Ebon stepped into the spotlight that shone above him. It was dimmed so the Dakota Villain could stand there.

Ebon preferred the dark anyway.

A second spotlight appeared to his left: Queen Bee.

Her gold costume still sparkled but there was gray in her hair. She fingered a bronze-colored jewel that hung from her neck.

She eyed Ebon with interest.

That made Ebon determined to never be alone with that woman.

Another spotlight appeared on Ebon's right and Strife appeared. His face had the familiar goatee and smile that revealed the true identity: Ra's al Ghul.

Another spotlight came on behind him.

Ebon turned.

It was the Master; a wizard who wanted to be the Sorcerer Supreme.

Ebon rolled his black eyes. He could care less.

"Ebon...you've been working on your own schemes. This has impressed the Light," Ra's said.

"In order to take out the JLU, we need to know if you'd be willing to lose a member of your LOD," Queen Bee commented.

"They are...plan B, but it turns out that when I had control of Manta, I discovered that his was the perfect match."

Ebon nodded. "You can have him. But Dymond isn't the kind of woman to let her man get dissected."

"We are well aware of Dymond and her abilities. For the granddaughter of a former Bang Baby, she has indeed evolved her powers well." Ra's stroked his goatee in thought.

"But we located replacements for you." Queen Bee told the Dakota Villain.

"And who?" Ebon wanted to know.

That was when two more spotlights came down, one on each side of Ra's al Ghul.

Ebon nodded. "So if I take down the JLU, the deal still stands?" Ebon asked.

"Of course," Ra's verified. "Their elimination will secure your spot in the Light."

Ebon grinned. He couldn't wait for that day.
