Note: It is now November. The Fifth. Exactly two months since the League went off world.

"Guys, you do know we'll have to deal with the fallout of the League's disappearance on the news and with the press sometime, right?" Wally looked around at the Team, eyes wide. "I mean, if Conner would let us change the channel for a moment, we'd be able to see what they're disappearance is doing to the people!"

Conner grunted, and handed Dinah the remote so she could change the channel away from that snow on the screen.

"-And, live in Gotham City, we go to Cat Grant. Cat, over to you."

"It's chaos here in the Dark City as its Dark Knight hasn't been seen in two months. Although, the city is not without protectors as Robin and his new partner, the archer Artemis, have taken up the vacuum left by the Batman, and I have to admit, they are taking care of the city quite well. Even though the League's partners, sidekicks, and various other heroes have taken up the slack, the world as a whole is still screaming in protest at being left behind by its protectors. In Central City, it appears as though Kid Flash is still managing to keep crime at bay, and has at times been seen being helped by Central's very own Rogues! In Fawcett, the martian siblings, known currently just as Ms. Manhunter and Young Manhunter, are holding their own. In Metropolis, a young man rumored to be Superman's son has been winning the hearts of the city. Over in DC the Atlantian Aqualad has been valiantly protecting our capitol, and in Star City Green Arrow's former partner Red Arrow is doing quite well. Also, in Vegas, it appears as though a young magician of equal or greater power to Zatara is doing quite well. All in all, the League did not leave us undefended."

"Thank you Cat, now to Lois Lane in Dakota City-"

"See? The world needs to know that we're here!" Wally looked over to Kaldur, who had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Very well. M'gann, call in Robin," Kaldur instructed. M'gann nodded, walking over to the holoscreens and calling Robin's communicator.

"Yes?"

"Robin, Aqualad told me to call you in," M'gann said to him through the communicator.

"Okay, be there ASAP. I'm taking care of business in Gotham with Artemis- might take a while, there's a pretty big drug ring the two of us are busting."

"I'll be sure to tell him that."

"Okay, Thanks. Artemis- Look out!" The connection went dead, and M'gann headed back to the main room.

"Robin will be here as soon as he can. He and Artemis are working in Gotham," she reported to Kaldur.

"Thank you, M'gann," he nodded. The martian nodded back, smiling.

"Hey," Roy nodded to Conner, M'gann, Kaldur, Dinah, and M'aax. "I was just called by Wally- he'll be here soon, he was just taking care of things with the Rogues, clearing up stuff as to what they can and can't do."

"What did they do?" M'aax asked, leaning forward, grinning in anticipation.

"Wally was up against Icicle Jr., and they pulled him back from the fight," Roy replied. "If I had a pack of villains who were weirdly protective of me, I'd put arrows in places they didn't even know they had places."

"I don't envy them," Conner said, staring at the snow.

"I bet it's on the news. Conner?" Roy looked at the clone.

"Fine," he grunted, and handed the channel changer back to Dinah.

"And here we have Kai Karin live in Las Vegas. Kai?"

"It's a mess here in Las Vegas as our local hero fights against known villainous sorcerer Abra Kadabra. The smack-down has traversed across most of the Strip, demolishing several casinos- not that I mind, I don't see the point of them- and is still going strong! Our own hero has the obvious advantage, as a little known fact about Abra Kadabra is that he's not actually a sorcerer! That's right; he uses tricks and good ol' sleight of hand to make-"

"It looks like Zatanna's having fun," Dinah remarked.

"Without us, too," Roy replied, looking at Kaldur.

"Zatanna will call if she needs back-" the Atlantian was cut off by beeping. "Yes?"

"Hey I need backup, I'm having a nice skirmish with Abra Kadabra here on the Strip!"

"Fine, I'll send Red Arrow and Young Manhunter your way."

"Thanks!" The line went dead.

"C'mon Roy, you heard the man! Let's go!" M'aax was bouncing in excitement.

Roy smirked, and the two guys headed for the zeta tubes.

"Hey, let's watch them on the news!" M'gann suggested. Conner growled, hand on the remote. It was an obvious no from the Boy of Steel. "Or not." Conner visibly relaxed.

"Hey guys! What's up?" The speedster sped over, and rested his elbows and the back of the couch and his chin on his hands.

"The ceiling." Conner, ever the comedian.

"Well, I know that's up!" Wally rolled his eyes under the half-cowl. "What's been going down?"

"Objects acted upon by gravity with an acceleration of nine-point-eight meters per second," Conner replied, looking at Wally. The speedster was supposed to be good at math and science.

"Ugh!" The red head groaned, throwing his hands in the air. "I give up!"

"What do you give up?" Conner asked, still clueless.

"Trying to teach you modern lingo, that's what!" Wally now had his hands on his hips. "I don't think you're ever going to learn."

"Oh. Okay." Conner turned his attention to the TV.

"Hey guys, we're back," M'aax called.

"I can see," Dinah replied, perched on the back of the couch. "How'd it go?"

"Pretty easy once the boys got there," Zatanna replied. "A few exploding arrows, a few cars telepathically thrown at him, and Abra Kadabra was ready to surrender. You should have seen the look on his face!"

"Hey guys, we're here now," Artemis was supporting a limping Robin, who had an arm around her shoulders. "What did you want Robin for?"

"First, how was he injured?" Kaldur looked concernedly at the bird.

"Knife to the leg. Don't worry, I'll be fine," Robin's voice strained a little bit.

"You don't sound fine," M'gann said with worry in her voice.

"Well, I will be," Robin replied. "Now what do you want me to do?"

"I was thinking it would be a good idea to call a press conference to clear up a few things," Kaldur explained.

"Okay, yeah, that sounds like a good idea," Robin replied, smiling. "I'll get started on it. Artemis, my laptop is in the Batcave, on my table. Can you go get it?"

"Sure." Artemis helped him to sit on a chair at the counter, then walked over to the zeta tubes.

Recognized: Artemis B07

"Wait, she gets to be in the Batcave?" Wally looked around. "Does this seem unfair to anyone but me?"

"It is the Batcave. Since Batman is absent, it is up to Robin to decide who is allowed in the cave and who is not," Kaldur reasoned.

Artemis was back, with Robin's laptop in its bag. She passed it over to him, and he smiled and thanked her before setting it up and typing in his passcodes.

Pulling up Chrome, he entered the Gmail page, and typed in his e-mail and its passcode before typing the e-mail to notify of the press conference. He paused, thinking.

"Hey, guys, where do you think we should hold the press conference?" He looked around at the Team.

"Maybe Metropolis. In the big square," Dinah suggested.

"That sounds good," Conner agreed.

"Okay then," Robin replied, adding that to his e-mail, before typing in the e-mails of the reporters and news companies. "It's set up for this Saturday. The eleventh, the big square in Metropolis, at five o'clock."

This chapter is one of the two whose existence is credited to Golden Eagle 603. They came up with the excellent idea that the Team would have to deal with the fallout from the League's disappearance, and here it is. Enjoy.
