I own nothing recognizable
I didn't know a robot could move that quickly – then again, most of my experience had been confined to the large, hulking variety as they stormed downtown Metropolis is a seeming endless parade. It took about two seconds of stunned silence before Batman flew into motion. He had me up against the wall by my collar before most of the rest of us could even blink, and I hurried to place a hand on his shoulder.
Fortunately – well, fortunately for me – Batman still wasn't used to his new body, and his new body wasn't used to him. While it seemed sheer willpower had gotten him this far, he collapsed with an exasperated whine. "You okay?" I asked him, rubbing my neck with a wince. That earned me a particularly withering glare, and Shayera laughed. "Dumb question," I conceded – after all, I probably wouldn't be feeling 100% if I'd just had a building dumped on me before being transferred to a robotic body. Batman nodded in agreement – he evidently thought so. I took a moment to reflect on how much sarcasm you could actually fit into a nod before going back to the matter at hand.
"So, you're on the invalid list until you can prove to my satisfaction that you won't be more a hindrance than a help." Superman looked like he wanted to object, but I held up a hand. "I'm the closest thing we got to a tactician until he figures out a better way to communicate than Morse code," I stated as I gestured to Batman. That earned me another glare, but I ignored it. Superman just held up his hands. "I wasn't going to argue that, I was just going to ask is do we keep him in the Watchtower until you clear him?" I frowned. I hadn't really thought about it. "I suppose not, though if you go out before you're ready, you'll be confined to the Watchtower until I say you are," I warned him. He gave me a dry look, but nodded. I sighed. "Whatever. You read these, the rest of us have work to do," I said as I shoved the manuals the courier had given us at him and headed off to see if J'onn had gotten those alorigthms in place yet.
