Chapter 7:
At the watchtower, in a secret meeting room, some of the Justice League sat at the table in silence. Batman, Superman, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, Flash, Aquaman and Black Canary sat around a large table.
"They don't seem like they are bad kids, just a little misled if anything," Flash finally broke the silence.
"But they are monsters, if the public found out we were helping monsters they would lose faith in us to hunt them," Black Canary reasoned.
"How can we even be considering this? They are monsters! So they can't be trusted," Green Arrow exclaimed.
"Now hold on Arrow-"
"I Agree they-"
"We have to give them a chance-"
Everyone started talking and arguing all at once, while Batman sat quietly.
"Quiet."
The room became dead silent once again and everyone looked at Batman.
"It is not whether or not they are monsters. It is who they are. I have been doing some digging and according to all my sources not one of the four brothers even has a record of existing."
"But the government has been keeping records of every monster that has been born over the last 50 years, how did they not get a record of anything?"
"Either they have connections somewhere very high up or something is being covered up," Batman thought out loud.
Everyone looked around at each other thinking the same thing, "What could four kids have done to get their very existence covered up?"
"So did they do something that bad?" Flash asked.
"Or someone did something to them," Batman frowned.
The leaguers looked at each other with worry and confusion. Batman waved his hand to summon a file on a research facility on the halo-computer.
"This is Cadmus. We have yet to find proof of anything illegal or league worthy to investigate. I believe they are doing experiments with monsters," Batman explained.
"Experiments?" Black Canary asked.
"Yes, it is quite possible at least one of them was used as an experiment, weather it did anything to them or if they were just studied I don't know and wont until we can study them." Batman said.
"So what are we going to do with them? We can't just kidnap them can we?" Flash asked.
"No, we will not just kidnap them. Our best chance is to gain their trust and have them join the team, or at least see what they can do." Batman said sharply.
"Meeting adjourned," Batman finished walking out of the room, leaving no room for argument.
*************BREAK*************
The four brothers were walking down the dirty, dark streets of Gotham. Jason walked next to Tim and Dick next to Damian. All four stayed close together, keeping an eye on each other and everything around them. They stayed quiet so no one passing them would over hear what they were saying; in Gotham you could never be too careful.
They were just passing through Gotham; everyone knew this was the Bat's city. Dick liked to keep his brothers away from League member's cities to be safe. But this time they didn't have much choice, the hunters had increased in all the more rural areas they would have usually taken. The good thing about Gotham was that they blended in nicely. Gotham was a dark city, monsters were treated more equally in Gotham than most other cities, everyone treated everyone else like dirt, equally.
Gotham was a place where the high class and the street rats lived side by side with the psychos and the criminals. Everyone was almost the same in Gotham.
As they turned down an alley way they were approached by the Bat himself.
"What do you want?" asked Dick while he pushed Damian behind him.
"I just want to talk," the man shrouded in darkness answered.
"Why would we talk to you?" Jason growled.
"Because I'm like you," he answered showing off long fangs too long to be a normal human.
