Third Person
Location: Mount Justice
When Conner walked into the living room, Wolf tackled him to the ground.
"Miss me," Conner laughed, pushing Wolf off him. Wold grinned at him with his tail wagging and his tongue out.
"Supes Jr.-You're back," Wally said, from his spot on the couch and blurred over to Conner.
"It is good to see you back, my friend, and in better spirits, I hope," Kaldur said, walked over to him.
"I'm fine...I just-" Conner started, as he walked over to the kitchen; but Artemis cut him off.
"Needed a break from the crazy," Artemis said, hopping on the counter.
"Yes," Conner said.
"So where did you go," Dick asked, leaning against the counter.
"I just-" Conner started.
"Need to get started on a new mission," Batman said, appearing from the shadows.
"Seriously, how does he do that," Wally whispered to Dick. Artemis rolled her eyes, smacked Wally on the back of the head, and pointed to the holographic screen.
"There have been a range of attacks on various medical labs and power plants in intervals of two weeks for the last three months...the most recent attack was two days ago at the Brooklyn Research Lab," Batman said, and a list of stolen items scrolled down the screen.
"Acetone peroxide, Nitroglycerin, Trinitrotriazine, Composition 4, a nuclear generator-Either someone is trying to rebuild Frankenstein or is mixing one heck of a bomb," Wally said, reading through the list.
"Why are we getting involved," Conner asked.
"The attacks seemed random, until we found a link," Batman said, and then several pictures of Superman's symbol burned in various walls appeared.
"Someone is calling Superman out," Artemis said.
"Superman thinks Lex Luthor is involved," Batman said.
"Because you better to call him out than his archenemy," Dick said.
"Exactly...which is why someone will be going under cover as an intern at Lex Corp," Batman said.
"Who," Wally asked.
"That is none of your concern-your concern will be guarding three primary targets for the next attack: Raya medical laboratory in Detroit, Bausch power plant in Metropolis, and Krahs research facility in Boston," Batman said.
"You're splitting us up," Megan said.
"And placing you with a pair of Leaguers," Batman said.
"So when you we start keeping watch," Conner asked.
"Tonight."
~YOUNG JUSTICE~
That night Batman split the team up with a few members of the Justice League. The teams were Batman and Wonder Woman with Aqualad and Kid Flash, Green Lantern and Flash with Artemis and Miss Martian, and Superman and Martian Manhunter with Robin and Superboy. Superman's group went to the power plant, and Green Lantern's went to the medical laboratory. Which left Batman's group going to the research facility.
While watching over the research facility, Batman sent Aqualad and Kid Flash to check the perimeter. This gave Wonder Woman the chance to asked Batman a question.
"Why," Wonder Woman asked, sitting on the ledge of the building.
"Why what," Batman said back.
"Why have you and Robin on separate teams and Flash and Kid Flash," she asked.
"Robin can handle himself, and placing Kid Flash and his uncle together would be asking for trouble," Batman said.
"Then why are Superman and Superboy on the same team," Wonder Woman asked.
"You are full of questions tonight, Princess," Batman said.
"I'm curious," Wonder Woman said, shrugging, "Now, answer my question."
"Superman needs to see that Superboy, whether he likes it or not, is his...Superboy is Kryptonian and needs someone to show him what that means," Batman said.
"I didn't know you were so-" Wonder Woman started.
"I'm not...I just rather not have Robin get hurt because his friend's heat vision flares up," Batman said.
"Is that it," Wonder Woman asked.
"Yes," Batman said, grabbing his grappling gun.
"Wait I have one more question," Wonder Woman said.
"What," Batman asked, pausing.
"If you believe Robin can take care of himself, then why did you put him on a team with three super-powered aliens," Wonder Woman asked, smiling. Batman didn't answer her; he just shot his grappling gun to the adjacent building and swinging away.
