"OH MY God!" With a piercing scream, Miss Martian ripped herself out of Drago's mind, falling backwards onto the floor form her cross-legged position. The young green girl lay on the floor, twitching and crying. Martian Manhunter himself slowly eased himself out of the warrior's mind, with a tear running down his own cheek as well.

"What happened in there?" Batman demanded, the others still in shock over M'gann's reaction. "I want to know. NOW!"

Slowly, J'onn stood up and finally brought his gaze up to Batman. "As you know, I cannot reveal any details, but I am convinced of his devotion to the team. Beyond that, I can't say much else." With those words, J'onn quickly left the room, but you could still see the tears dripping from his eyes and leaving a trail of wet spots on the floor.

Drago slowly stood up from his meditative position on the floor. He stepped over to Miss Martian's heaving body and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. She reacted by quickly flying up to him and embracing him in a tight hug, sobbing into his shoulder.

"What did I tell you?" Drago questioned, gently. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Since I am undoubtedly alive, that has only made me stronger." Drago continued to comfort the girl with some experience, holding her and rubbing comforting circles on her back, whilst the remaining league members stood by with some degree of uncertainty and embarrassment. "Shhh. I am right here. Alive and well. What you saw in my mind was the past, but that's all it is, the past. If you dwell too much on it, it will take over your life. You use the past to fuel you, but not control you."

With a final choking sob, Miss Martian pulled away, and with a quick glance at Drago, left for her room.

"What the heck was that?" Asked Superman.

"That was a woman who saw something that no-one should ever see. Who felt pains that no-one should ever feel, although, unfortunately, many still feel it." Drago turned to leave.

"No, I meant about holding her like that. You do realize…" Drago cut off Superman before he could finish.

"That she is in a relationship with your clone?" The leaguers stared in shock at Drago knowing such secretive information. "Yes, I know. However, that was not making an advance of any sort, merely comforting someone who needs placating." Drago turned to leave, but was stopped by Batman.

"I still don't trust you." Batman glared at the man, who was just barely shorter than him.

"And I don't trust you, detective." Drago snarled a reply, returning Batman's infamous glare with ease.

"How do you know that name?"

"You said it yourself. I was one of Ra'as Ahl Ghull's top men. I know everything."

"Then you undoubtedly know he is on this tower."

"Yes. However, I entertain no thoughts of releasing him any time soon, rest assured. He remains there for the time being, as long as I have a say about it. The most you have to worry about, detective, is me going down to visit the old man."

"Hold on." Superman stepped between the two rogues, placing what was supposed to be a calming hand on each of them. "You don't have any clearance. How do you expect to talk to him?"

"The same way that I expect you to respect my personal space, Mister Kent." The boy snarled, shrugging Superman's hand off of his shoulder. "Now, if you will excuse me, I would like to get some sleep before I work on rescuing my future teammate. Your Highness." He bowed to Wonder Woman before leaving the room in the direction of the sleeping quarters of the team and the room he was given for the night.

Superman glared at the form of the boy leaving the room. "You're right. That boy knows too much."

"I still think he will be good for the team." Wonder Woman insisted. "He is the only one amongst you fools who knows how to address royalty." Batman grunted, while Flash just laughed. "And besides, it isn't hard to figure out who you are, Clark. The only thing separating you from Superman is a pair of glasses." Wonder Woman smiled.

"And a strand of hair!" Flash piped up. "Can't forget captain perfect hair's legendary hair do."

"Shut it Barry!"
