Joe Kessler Pov:

"I'm not new to handling Supe crisis. They blow shit up, the Bureau either cleans it up or pay the people who are caught in the mess. It was like that for years when Vought was around and was having their attack dogs go off and be used in the army, it all changed when the Injustice League arrived out of nowhere. Suddenly a new fight started and left the company in ruins and Homelander in a body bag, which was the best day of my fucking life if I'm being honest. There were times when I thought he wasn't right in the hand but seeing him turn into a monster and getting clobbered in Washington was more than enough for everyone to see what a dick head he was. Still, it doesn't mean I'm fully convinced with Bizarro since the guy's a bit soft in the head. Not that it's a bad thing but he needs to know how things work now after that horror show with the weird elf guy last year. Hopefully his girlfriend can help him out with the conversation I'm going to have with them."


Later-FBSA Building

After the clean up at the Supe University and returning the teenagers back to their parents along finding a way to give back the money to them. The director invited Annie and Bizarro to the department building so he could speak to them about the recent activity that's been happening in the league. Out of uniform and sitting in his office, they were waiting patiently for Kessler to come back due to him talking with his superiors about his assignment being accomplished.

"Are we in trouble?"

Bizarro asked Annie that despite helping the students not be taken away and sent to private locations across the country to be continue by surviving Vought members, the clone felt that Kessler wasn't fond of his work in looking after the innocent. Annie herself was concerned about their position after they gave up Vought tower for the community to show they were responsible for letting Eclipso run rampant across the city.

"I don't know. But keep your head up and be yourself, whatever he wants will just answer right away. Other than that, don't break anything."

She advised him to stay positive and to show the director that he's the caped man that help battle the Seven and looks after the public to protect them from harm. With that being said, Annie's phone started to ring as she takes a look at it to see Maeve texting her about an important matter. While she was busy, the door opened up to show Kessler stepping in with a cup of coffee and looking tired from the meeting he had with his people.

"This place has never been this busy when Vought was around. Always had their lawyers and accountants coming in bribing half of these people to forget the Supe's responsible for banging their couples to death or bringing down a building. God those days were dull, but with you around. Everyone's been working their ass off."

The director explained that with the league ruining Vought's reputation and breaking around hundreds of deals they made with the Supe community. The Bureau had their hands full with either arresting the Supe's or trying to handle the incidents that happened in the past and left them to finally handle it. Offering them some water to help settle the moment between them due to his notice of how the pair were curious about them being here.

"Now. Let's get to the grime and dirty that's been going on lately, specifically your gorilla whose been working with us to establish some type of friendship to make sure we don't try to arrest you. Which is impossible since the public love you and actually believe it with you saving the city."

He started off on Grodd being helpful to the Bureau with finding information from old Vought files and anything to support the departments investigations on finding anything on secret Supe matters. Annie finished her texting with Maeve to focus on the conversation as she was listening at the same time and was able to have a response for Kessler's reason for bringing them in.

"After what happened with Eclipso and giving the tower to the city. We've been keeping things small and help out with the police whenever a crime is happening. While some people don't trust us, we want to help show the city will protect them."

Annie responded how they weren't going off on leaving the country or going off on their own and investigate anything without telling the authorities. They wanted to get the trust back to show they weren't above the law and were just as normal as they were. Joe was dumbfounded by what said and turning his attention to Bizarro if he was in agreement with her, to which he nods as he was just on board with them being just as normal as them.

"Talk about the all-mighty admitting they're mortal. It's nice to hear that, but others aren't that convincing like myself. Because despite helping the city out and assisting in fixing the buildings as well as helping the injured, no one has been able to find the trench coat man in the aftermath who helped end the fight and are unsure if you have others like him running around in the city."

Kessler brought up John Constantine disappearing from the fight after Soldier Boy gave his life to stop Eclipso from destroying the city. The Bureau along half of the department tried to locate him or find anything that could give them a chance in locating Constantine, only for him and Soldier Boy's shield to disappear without a trace. He looked over to Bizarro to see if he had any information on the whereabouts of the warlock as the clone shrugged his shoulders at where John was.

"Him just vanish. Like magic."

Responding in five words and lying that John left with Soldier Boy's shield to make sure that Eclipso didn't break free since he needed an item to keep him contained. Taking a moment to see if he was telling the truth and looking at Annie if the response was the same, she nodded to Kessler that none of them knew where John went when the smoke had cleared.

"Alright. Just had to be sure, now we should get to the real reason for this get together. It's about the Godolkin troublemakers."

Kessler changing the topic from them to the teenagers that weren't found by the officers and medics during the raid at the university. He pulled up around five of them, the fifth one was marked deceased as it belonged to Andre Anderson. Annie took the moment to look at their files while Bizarro only looked at their photos since he couldn't read that well, but from the photos alone showed how powerful they were when each of them were using their powers.

"When Bizarro was doing a number on the tanks and the campus's security. Marie along with Jordan and Andre were dealing with school drama, one of the students named Cate Dunlap convinced the school body to revolt. Start a Supe uprising and take everything for themselves, Andrea tried to stop her which resulted in her killing him. When they found her and prevented the uprising, Marie killed her in a fit of blind rage."

Kessler explained about what happened during the infiltration which was enough time for other things to happen while Bizarro was busy handling the campus's security. The clone's reaction was speechless since he couldn't hear the fighting when he was handling the tanks, he felt ashamed at the loss while Annie looked into Maverick and Emma's whereabouts during the fight.

"These two are a different story, for Maverick. The invisible pervert's kid was looking after the school's mascot called Sloane, don't know what's the deal with an alpaca representing a school for Supe's but. Who gives a shit, moving onto Emma Meyer. Also known online as 'Little Cricket', was underneath the school due to Vought scientists trying to study her growth powers. She has a YouTube channel of her wrestling her gerbil."

He explained the other two's whereabouts along showing Annie and Bizarro the video of Emma's channel and being a popular internet star. The grey clone laughed at the adorable wrestling she was doing as Annie stopped him since this was an important moment they were having with Joe, even if the video was humorous and help changed the tension that was in the room.

"What about their parents? Is there a way to contact them and send the four with them?"

She asked on their behalf if there was a way they could reunite them with their parents. The expression on Joe's face fell since he showed them several pages on their parental guardians disowning their kids to that of them deceased.

"With how many kids that were bringing in and trying to send home. We don't have the resources to look after them, let alone can send them to a youth center since the people don't want Supe's around that were responsible for several deaths at the university."

He expressed that with their hands full of Supe cases and the university, the four had no place to go at the moment which left Annie to be sadden at the news, but Bizarro smiled at the news since he knew how to handle it which caught the two's attention and gave them an unusual feeling from the idea that he had in mind.

"We look after them."

Suggesting on where they'd be during the time while Joe would find a suitable home for each of them which caught Annie off guard that while the league had Banshee to help with teaching teenagers with their abilities. The Flatiron Building was the last place they would want to bring the four in due to how much of a target the league had placed upon themselves. Joe took a moment to think about seeing how they could handle anything to that of how to help them with their abilities.

"I don't think that's much trouble. The gorilla has given us much information on Vought and help made things easier for us. Though that doesn't mean you can enlist them into your team, they've already went through enough bloodshed and loss."

Responding to them having custody over the four in the time being until they could figure out a way for them to either return back to any parental guardians that were around or provide them a home for them. The men looked over at Annie to see if she'd be on board with his suggestion since it go either way since they were there right now with Banshee looking after them. With them staring at her, she eventually caved in and agreed they'd be look after until then.

"Great. I'll use the resources to find any family members that'll bring them in, until then. Hope you have bunk beds for them."

The director allowing them to look after the four as it seemed had the meeting had been settled which left Annie and Bizarro to make their way out of the office. Walking pass the desks and seeing numerous employees staring at them, the blonde haired girl sigh at how again her boyfriend was moving ahead without thinking.

"Kids need help, we help them. We do the same with people."

Bizarro responded to Annie on why he insisted on looking after the four in the meanwhile as Annie agreed on it, but they had to discuss it together than go ahead and look after them. With how everyone was staring at them, she decided to pull him into the bathroom where they could talk privately about the issue since it was an important topic.

"Despite being in a university that spied on them to see if they can be the new Seven. I was never given the opportunity to actually learn how to use my powers, my mom only taught me by having me absorb the electricity from our house. Besides that we don't have a lab actual equipment to help them out."

She listed how while they were the only ones capable of understanding of learning to control their powers, the building wasn't light Vought Tower and was old with no means of assistance for them. Bizarro showed an expression about the part of not having anything that could help the kids, it left Annie's eyes to glow along absorbing the electricity from the bathroom.

"We. Took computers and keyboards with us when we moved to building, Grodd and Toyman needed stuff."

He explained on what the team had taken from the tower before giving it up to the public which left Annie to sigh in annoyance of being kept out of this decision as she returns the power back to the bathroom. Taking a moment to collect her thoughts, she decided to have a say in the matter since she wouldn't be kept out of this situation.

"I'm going be the one to help the kids out. You? Are going to do watch duty by yourself for keeping this secret from me. Okay?"

She stated that with keeping this from her and wanting to foresee how the young adults training would go, Bizarro would be looking after the city by himself. The clone looked sadden since he enjoyed patrolling the city with her but nod his head since she was right that it was wrong for not telling her about it. Smiling at how the matter handled, she gave him a kiss on the check before heading back to the building and see what was going on. Bizarro walked out smiling that despite being told that he'd be on his own for a while, it was nice seeing her taking charge whenever an issue was happening.

"Shit. Looks like someone is in the doghouse."

Kessler spoke who saw what happened along Annie walking out of the room and noticed the speechless meta-clone watching her go. While Bizarro didn't know what that meant, he knew that she'd be perfect to help Banshee out with getting the four to have a possible new start with no influence from Vought or any other company that would train them the wrong way.


Afternoon-Flatiron Building

When the team was informed about the son of Translucent and three other students would be brought to the building where they stayed due to the Bureaus hands being filled; most of the league wanted to knock Bizarro out since they handled mature Supe's, not teenagers. However, Banshee seemed more than content with helping them out since she was a troublemaker when her powers came to her around their age. The group hadn't made contact with the four as they were in custom made room designed by Toyman to help with Supe's to test their powers out, Marie and the others were talking amongst themselves about what might happen to them.

"We should just get out of here before these people have the chance to try and use us like the campus did."

Jordan suggested that despite Bizarro protecting them from being turned over to BASA, coming here to meet the same people who brought down Vought and took out numerous Supes was even worse since they were capable of anything. While that might have been the case, Marie reluctantly shook her head about leaving since there was nowhere else to go.

"The only thing we can do is see what they can offer us. From what I was able to read about them, they aren't in the business of turning people into weapons. If anything they'll let us stay here for a few days until we can find somewhere to live."

Marie responded back to their idea on leaving due to the league being the only option since she didn't want to take her chances with the Bureau. While it bothered them with how she could be optimistic and thinking everything will be alright, which was one of the traits that made them want to be around her.

"Out of everyone who should be scared shitless of being here it be Maverick. It said on the internet that Banshee was the one who turned him into a dried-up raisin, no offense."

Emma brought up that if anyone would have a reason to escape it be Maverick due to him losing his dad to the people who had taken them into their home. Though as stated by the invisible young man that he was alright with his father passing away due to the crimes that he had committed during his time with Vought.

"None taken. Right now what I'm stressing about is Sloane since Bizarro was the last one with her when we came here. She isn't fond of people that think she's just an alpaca."

The invisible Supe reminded them about their unusual companion that had been around the school with no one knowing if the animal as a mascot or a shapeshifting student. Suddenly they heard the door opening which showed their animal companion who was chewing on food cans and walked in to greet them. Coming up from behind was Banshee, Manta and Shehemoth who entered the room and saw everyone looking at them with curiosity.

"Your alpaca ate half of our food. She owes us money."

Shehemoth told them and trying her best to not get angry with the alpaca since they had been through enough when they'd spend time at Godolkin University. Seeing how the tension was tense, Banshee thought she'd explain about the current state of their stay here.

"No, she doesn't. More importantly that we got called by Starlight on what's happening with you four, so despite this being an unusual living arrangement. This is your home for the time being."

She explained that while there were no other locations for the Bureau to place them in and trying to find any family that would accept them, the league would look after the four and their alpaca. Each of the teenagers had different looks on their faces from hearing that, except for Maverick who didn't show any looks due to his invisible look but seemed alright with having a room at the Flatiron Building.

"But that doesn't mean you get free range to do whatever you want here. Including helping out control your powers since we were told you killed some rouge Supes in defense, which is why will be handling your training. First things first, you."

Manta stated that they would help with controlling their powers and looking over to Maverick who was naked with the exception of having his baseball cap and glasses. Walking over to them and dropping a bag in front of him, there were articles of clothes that would fit him so they know where he would be walking around. Jordan didn't seem convince on how they were willing to let them in despite what happened back at the university.

"Not trying to get my ass kick but we believed that when we attended the school. What makes you different from them?"

They spoke out as Marie sigh at how Jordan acted since she know they'd act whenever they changed their changes, when they became a girl. Jordan would be impulsive and get to the point while their boy form would be protective, which was helpful when she met them on her first day at Godolkin. Manta gave Jordan a glare as he walked over staring directly into their eyes to see if they'd be intimidated by him, not seeing Jordan blink or backing down. Going to the bag to bring out a set of red and blue pills, he walked over to Emma and handed them to her.

"Grood was able to look into your records about how you need to eat grow and purge to shrink. These pills will nullify your powers for an hour, so you don't get big."

Explaining to her about how the gorilla was able to figure out a way for Emma to eat without resorting in her become huge. She was taken away by the gift and them having a solution to help with the condition that she had along trying to not embarrass herself in front of her friends.

"Let's go eat. Weird moments make me hungry."

Shehemoth announced on getting some food to relax the teens since they'd been through enough for one day. Following the three former villains to try and relax in their temporary home, Jordan still wasn't taken in with the help that Emma and Maverick were receiving since it could be a ploy to make them into new team members. Marie knew they were different from the campus and were willing to help out when without any strings attached, it was important to accept the help before anything else would happen to them.
