Hall of Justice

Superman is the last one to enter the meeting hall. The silence reigns the hall. Members can easily hear his footsteps. His face is bruised. Rarely they see this sight.

Superman sits down. Lords are sitting on the right where Superman joins, while the Legions are sitting on the left. Holographic images of the current Titans' lineup.

Black Canary stands up from her seat. Every eye in the rooms turns to her. "Every member of Justice League must remember that every vote you put will be of great importance. By the end of this gathering, a new direction for the Titans will be chosen so esteemed attention is requested. Now we will start by asking a member of Lords to speak up."

Superman stands up and speaks, "Todays' agenda is the selection of potential candidates for the Young Justice."

"Before we start anyone wants to add something to the agenda?" Black Canary asks.

"Yes," Atom says and gets up. "Legion wants to make sure-"

"I missed our meeting," Black Lightning whispers.

"Sure thing," Zatara answers.

"I am uncomfortable with formality."

"Lords guarantees that the team members of Young Justice will not be by any means affected by this little conflict within the league." Superman answers.

"Noted. Both Atom and Superman is requested to sit down," Black Canary says. "Now I will ask all the Leaguers to open the file in front of them."

"You are kidding me with the last candidate?" Hawkman asks, "Give me a break Superman."

"I never nominated him," Superman replies.

"I did." Ronnie stands up. "I think we need a normal teen who can give backup and support the team from the base."

"Good thinking but why him. There are a lot of teens who are better fit for this job." Superman says.

"He already has been exposed to danger thanks to his relationship with you," Ronnie says.

"Ronnie is right. He can also help them to blend in with normal kids," Doctor Stein says.

"I second on that," Black Canary says.

What concerns me is introducing another one of Superman's protégé," Doctor Stein says.

"What about it Doctor Stein?" Superman asks.

"We all know about the strain and conflicts between you and Connor. The addition of Mon-el and Kara will only worsen your relationship with him."

"It is a personal problem," Superman answers.

"About that, looks like Superboy requested a leave of absence. Is it related to what happened yesterday?" Atom asks.

"What do you mean?" Arrow asks.

"Nothing," Superman shouts

"He had a fight with Superman. Damn that kid knows how to punch," Atom praises Superman.

"Are you spying on me, Palmer?"

"No. My protégé is currently in Smallville for holidays. She informed me."

"Atom has a protégé?" Shazam shouts.

"What so funny about that Billy?" Atom asks.

"Nothing," Shazam laughs.

"Do we need another archer on the team? They already have Arsenal and Speedy," Wonder Woman asks.

"Speedy is taking some course in New York and Arsenal is out settling some family disputes. We need someone to fill in for them," Arrow answers.

"But her background creates some real points over her eligibility," Wonder Woman says.

"File says she is the daughter of the Sportsmaster, an active villain working for Vandal Savage," Stein points out.

"Cut some slack, will you? She is just a teenager who wants to reform from her old ways. If as an adult we don't give them an opportunity then who will."

"We appreciate that but just a 3 months of training won't help a kid to reform. Same goes for Light. Even Static is known for his repulsiveness," Hawkman says.

"Artemis has shown me natural talent in archery. Few more weeks and she will as good as Speedy."

"We are not talking about talent. We are talking about allegiance. Old habits are hard to break Arrow," Wonder Woman says.

"But it can be broken."

There is tensed environment between Arrow and Wonder Woman all the Leaguers knew that this debate can go for ages. Flash streaks out and gets some drinks for everyone.

Arrow and Wonder Woman looks at him, "I thought a drink will cool you off."

"If I speak for my protégé, Static has been a hero since he was 12. Since then he has been alone, stopping Boom Babies and saving runaways from illegal experiments," Black Lightning stands up and vouches for him.

"For Light, her powers are magical not science based. She just wants to honor her former mentor by taking his name," Zatara says.

"Your daughter is the right age to join." Black Canary says.

"She is in training. I want her to improve her mystic arts," Zatara answers.

"Right!?" Black Canary says. She can recognize the overprotective father figures easily, "Aquaman, few words about Aqualad."

"He has been helping me since he was 10. He was twelve when leading an army of Atlantians against the Black Manta Organization."

"Damn. You hid a treasure for yourself," Vigilante says.

"I would like to discuss Cyborg here as well. Don't you think it is the time he joins the League?" Aquaman asks.

"No," Arrow says, "I don't think he will love to join a team where heroes are divided into factions."

Everyone in the rooms goes into pin drop silence. Superman announces a 15-minute break and leaves the room. Outside the Hall of Justice, Black Canary declares that Titans are no more in action.

"Black Canary, will the League like to speak on the recent attack on Wayne Mansion in the absence of Bruce Wayne?"

"He was thinking about giving his mansion some makeover, " She says. Reporters laugh, "Bruce Wayne has been our technical and financial partner for many years. We give our full condolences and ensure that full investigation will be carried out regarding the matter."

Reporters again shout, "Ms. Grants." Black Canary says.

"Are you speaking on behalf of Lords or Legion?"

"I am standing here and attending you on behalf of entire Justice League."

"Has the League arrested Nightwing yet?"

"UN and ARGUS are in charge of all the procedures necessary for the capture of the fugitive. However, we still issued a pending request. Nightwing was a league member. We will deal with him. No more questions," Black Canary steps back. Leaving reporters with more questions, she enters the hall without any more words.

The door closes and she takes off his domino mask. Barry is staring at the old costume Jay Garrick wore as a Flash.

"It is weird not to find your girlfriend among that crowd," Canary says.

"She is in Central City, writing some piece on a vigilante name Wild Dog."

"You kidding me with that name?"

"I have something to tell you. Something which I haven't shared with anyone."

"Is it related to the murder case? You found something in the crime scene?"

"Maybe.-"

"Time is up," Martian Manhunter sends a telepathic message to all the Leaguers.

"Listen if the theory is true then we might have a possibility to save Nightwing."

"But aren't you on Lords."

"Yes, I am. Because I think that Nightwing should surrender and stand up for himself in the court room," Flash says. He wears his mask. "My theory may give you some chance. But nothing can change the fact that Superman saw him with his own two eyes."

Flash runs back to the meeting room. Black Canary walks back as well. The doors are closed. Superman is standing in the middle.

"We will now take votes. All the league members should remember that the decision made here will choose a new direction for Young Justice team. No more candidates will be evaluated for the proposal for the second round of voting will be accepted. Now without any further discussions, we will start the votes. I will call the names of the candidates. Every leaguer who accepts him please raise your hands."

"Superman," Atom stands up, "Legion already made their decision."

"What is the Legions' decision?"

"We want all of them in the new team."

Lords whisper among themselves, "Lords, what is your decision?" Arrow asks.
