Hello people! I am so grateful for the wonderful reviews I received so I'm going to answer each of them individually!

Summer Frost 13: I'm glad you liked it! I hope it wasn't too confusing!

KrC: thanks! As for wether or not the blackmailers know the identities of the mentors, I don't know (read the note at the bottom for clarification on that)

Animecutie610: I was exited when I saw the long review! I hope this will satisfy you, even if it did take a while.

Bruce didn't believe it, not at first. He didn't want to believe that Dick, his little robin, the boy he had raised, was out there doing all the things that he knew were wrong. At first he had assumed it was brain washing, but after several attempts the league discovered that the sidekicks were not under anyone's control and were committing crimes consciously and willingly. Batman wondered where he'd gone wrong, what he could have done that would have stopped the boy from taking this path. Somewhere inside he had shut down, no longer thinking about his actions, not just looking ahead, and looking to put an end to what he had started. Just focus on the mission, the league, no personal feelings included, that was his policy now, how he kept himself sane. He had to keep going until they were stopped.

Superman blamed himself for what had happened much more than any of the mentors. The way he saw things, when he had stayed away from Superboy, he had caused the kid to be more aggressive eventually leading to the murder of the young Martian girl (1). Unlike his colleague, his anger turned outward. His temper had gotten even worse and he had almost gotten mad at his day job. He didn't even know the kid, not really. From what Canary had said, the young clone wasn't very talkative and a bit brooding, but he really had never interacted with the kid. The only real conversation they had ever had was when the boy had reached out to him, asking for help figuring out his powers, but Clark had just left. True there was a good reason but, he never followed up and made a point to keep his contact with the boy to a minimum. He blamed himself probably the most heavily of all the members of the Justice League.

Canary had been shocked when she heard what the team had done. Her team, the ones she had trained. Sure it was all tough love but they didn't dislike her, did they? She was probably the one closest to the team as a whole. Individual members of the team were of course close to their respective mentors but, not the team as a whole. Batman was the one who deployed them on missions but still, he wasn't there, training them, interacting with the teens on a more personal level. Still it plagued her, how could she not have known, how could she not have realized before hand? She had no idea, was that how deep the betrayal truly was, so deep that they weren't the kids she had thought she had known at all?

Aquaman was shaken by Kaldur's betrayal on a very deep level. The boy was as much a son to him as his own son(2). The boy had always been so respectful, courteous. There was only one time that he could think of that the boy had stood against him on anything, back when the team had come into being. Perhaps that was it, what had changed the boy. Or had the boy changed? Had Aqualad been his father's son all along, a creature bent on destruction? If so why for so many years had the boy been content just to serve him? It was world shattering, the boy's loyalty had seemed so concrete, as expected as the tides, that when it changed it forced Orin to reevaluate almost everything in his life.

Green Arrow resigned from Justice League after seeing proof of the former sidekicks' betrayal. He hadn't heard from Artimis and he was still at an impasse with Roy. He didn't even want to think about what those two were doing, probably with their friends. He even speculated that Artimis had somehow convinced her team to turn to a life of crime. He didn't even know if Roy knew about what his friends had done. Knowing his ward's temper, he probably would have killed to know why his friends were doing these things. Therefore, while he hadn't kept the information from Roy he hadn't provided him any either. Ollie had hung up his cape, figuratively speaking. The man ran his corporate enterprise but he was out of the super community.

Flash had never expected this from his apprentice, his sweet little nephew who idolized him. The boy who had gone as far as to replicate his own near fatal accident just to get closer to his idol. But that wasn't what got Barry, what got him was the motive, or lack of one. He wasn't a thinker but he wasn't the idiot the rest of Leuge made him out to be, he was a forensic scientist in his day job for crying out loud! Still thinking and strategizing wasn't what he did he ran ahead regardless of the details and often got into trouble for it. He had no idea why Wally would suddenly change, and somehow he wondered if the boys were really doing this of their own free will, even after all of the tests they had run to conform that no one was controlling the boys.

What the speedster didn't know was that he was the only member of the league that saw even vaguely what was really going on. The only one who could see the biggest clue to a mystery no one in the league knew existed.

Clarifications:

(1) Megan is alive but no one in JL knows that.

(2) In YJ Aquaman's son isn't born yet I'm twisting that for impact, though it changes nothing in the story long term.

After this chapter something will actually happen, other than what people think about the situation. So… I need your help. I have no inspiration what so ever for who the villain should be, so please leave a suggestion. (I'm looking for a villain who already exists so on OCs ok?)

The sooner I get a villain the sooner chapter 3 comes out so give me ideas!

Thanks for reading! Review!
