Superman sat at the head of the table looking around at the group of the founding members. To his right, Diana was leaned across the table glaring at Lantern. Shayera was sitting next to Diana, and had a hand on the Amazon's forearm. Not that Shayera could hold the dark haired woman in her seat if she decided to cross the table, but he was hoping it was serving as an effective anchor. He really hoped it wouldn't come to blows again, but he was not too certain given the mood in the room. Batman sat in a seat to his left, cool, silent, and not moving. There were times that Superman needed to see him blink to know if he was even alive. On the other side of Diana, J'onn was looking at the table, and seemed to be mentally listening to the room. His posture was relaxed, which gave Superman hope that no fight was about to break out again. Normally J'onn would never invade someone's mind, but he had the distinct feeling that the Martian was breaking that rule. Flash, seated next to John, kept looking in between Diana, Shayera, and was quickly glancing at the Lantern as well. And John was sitting in between Wally and Bruce, staring at his ring as he flexed his hand open and closed.

Superman sighed, "Since we are all here now, we have business to discuss. And, there is no easy way to open up this subject; I am just going to be blunt. We need to talk about whether or not the League will get involved in the recent issues in Kasnia."

John's head popped up and he looked at Clark. "If you were going to blunt, what you should have said was whether or not we are going to go to Kasnia and interfere on behalf of Diana's blonde plaything."

Flash spouted, "Could you be a bigger asshole if you tried?"

Diana's eyes narrowed, and Shayera instantly squeezed her forearm and whispered, "Sweetheart, don't let him bait you. "

John started again, "I realize that this is a touchy subject for you two, and I am sorry for you Shayera, as it is obvious what this is about for Diana. But I think we should be honest about the situation. "

Diana railed, "John, you can go f…"

Superman interrupted, "Guys, this isn't helping. Let's just review what we know as facts and go from there. The NKFR has been targeting areas within Kasnia, and destroying small facilities, factories, and government buildings. Right now they are not speaking out about what their goals are, nor do we know who is leading them. But they have opened fire on citizens, and the damage is starting to pile up. Kasnian forces have been successful against them, but at high costs. There is evidence that the NKFR is making use of left over technology from the Vandal Savage days. There is also the issue of what happened at Fastad."

"They blew up a dam. That is what happened at Fastad." John sneered.

Diana rebutted, "Someone destroyed the dam. Not a group of soldiers, not a whole army, but one person."

"So what? There is no proof that it was some super-powered person. There are only vague eye witness stories. And we all know that eye-witnesses aren't really all that reliable."

Bruce sighed, "John is right Diana. There is nothing solid to suggest that we are dealing with anything other than a rebel group, albeit a well-armed one. And that is not enough to convince me that we should get involved."

"Let me ask you all this…" Shayera started, still holding Diana, "if there was proof of a meta-human being involved, would the League sanction action?"

Superman replied, "I think we would all be more inclined to support that if there was evidence to suggest it."

Shayera nodded. "Given that Queen Audrey is appealing to the UN to get us involved, wouldn't it be to our benefit to send a couple of members to Fastad to investigate? That way we would know either way what our answer would most likely be?"

"What are you suggesting?"

"That we send a small group or individuals to look into the area, and see if we find anything."

"That is still interfering." John spat.

"No, technically it isn't." Shayera replied. "If the Kasnian government will allow our presence in the area, with no promise of interference on our part, then we would be within our scope to check things out. There have been multiple times that governments have asked us to look into incidents for them. We have obliged the request more than once for lesser things. "

John shook his head, "I can't believe you! You are letting Diana drag you into her personal war. Are you really going to be a part of this nonsense?"

"Diana isn't dragging me. I would willingly follow her anywhere. This is obviously personal for you for some reason, and it shouldn't be. This is about Kasnia."

J'onn cleared his throat. "I see no reason that we couldn't send someone to Fastad. We would get the facts quicker that way."

All but John nodded their heads. Shayera spoke up again, "I would like to suggest that it not be anyone in this room though."

Diana's head jerked towards the red head, "What? Why not?"

"We are the ones voting. Let someone outside this group check it out. I would suggest Helena or Dinah or both since both are detectives. They will be able to tell what happened down there."

"Are you really suggesting those two? Your best friends? Please." John's anger was threatening to explode.

"I am suggesting them. Right now I do not believe that we have substantial proof of anything that warrants us being involved. So, my best friends, as you so conveniently mentioned, are not representing any intention on my part. Frankly, I am not convinced that getting involved serves anyone's interests other than Queen Audrey's. But if they find evidence to the contrary, I would vote to get the League involved."

"Anyone take issue with Helena and Dinah going?"

Again, John was the only one who dissented.

Superman nodded, "Very well. We will contact Kasnia and make the request. In the meantime am I correct in assuming that we are voting to wait for now on other action?"

John immediately answered, "I still say this is ridiculous. We have no business, period, in doing anything."

Diana spoke up once more, "You know John, for someone who swears this is about my personal issues, you seem to be having the same problem. You would vote no just to spite me. How childish can you be?"

"Diana, I have never come to the group and asked that they get involved in my personal business. I am not the one rallying superheroes to fight for my girlfriend."

"NEVER let me catch you alone. I swear by Hera that Superman won't be able to pull me off of your throat if I do."

"And speaking of girlfriends, why is it that you are so adamant that we rush to Audrey's aide, considering you were definitely not in this room offering support for Shayera when the Thanagarians came? In fact, I distinctly remember you voting to not keep her in this little group."

"Nice try. I was honest with Shayera, who for the record is my wife. She and I have talked about it, and she understands why I voted the way I did. You, on the other hand, abandoned her when she needed you most. And that is something that I am not willing to do. So, thank you for clustering your relationship, because I definitely benefitted, and still am."

"Diana, John, this is not the place. We are here to discuss whether or not we will be lending aide to Kasnia." Superman chided.

Diana turned her attention to the head of the table. "If we wait, there is no telling how many more innocent lives will be lost. I vote that we go now. The dam at Fastad was destroyed by one person. There is something sinister happening in Kasnia. The League cannot afford to stall."

Superman inhaled. "Sorry, Diana, I don't agree. There is no proof yet to warrant involvement."

"I agree." Batman stated.

"As do I." J'onn added.

John glared at Diana. "I vote no as well."

Flash looked at Diana with big eyes. "Personally Diana I would like to vote yes. But I can't vote for just myself here. So, I vote no for the League as well."

"Shayera?" Superman asked.

Shayera closed her eyes. "No," she whispered.

John chuckled. "I was right, there is trouble in Paradise."

A/N: Well, Shayera voted no...not much of a surprise right? Thanks as always for the reviews. Chapter 11 is written, and I have told most of you that it was my favorite to do. So hang on a couple of days, and I will put it up! In the meantime, let me know what you thought of this one. They really do fuel me and ltlconf to keep this thing going! For anonymous...so you are on Diana's side. It seems to be about 50/50 here based on what you all tell me. Shayera needs to show more trust? Hmmm...maybe she will. But Audrey will not help that cause I don't think. As for Diana punching Lantern, twice in fact, I liked it too! 'Bout time I'd say. But this is not over...will it end badly? Chapter 11 will go a long way to answering that one. Thanks guys for reading!
