The next couple of days dragged a rather lengthy period, especially since Adam didn't tell his sister about what happened.

Adam had just started thinking he may make it to South America for his last dig without having his baby sister scream at him.

"ADAM! IS THIS YOU?"

Immediately Adam thought it was his mother, then realized who it was.

Janey came and kicked in his door like they were teenagers again and shoved her phone in his face.

Apparently one of the people streaming the incident at the library caught Adam throwing his bag at the kid and protecting the lady.

"You told me nothing happened!?" using her fingers for air quotes "And that you weren't there."

"But nothing did happen and nobody died."

"Is this why you didn't tell me?"

Adam turned over in his bed. Janey sits down on the edge

"Of course I'm going to worry over my stupid big brother." she says while patting his leg "Because I wouldn't want to lose you..."

"Like Todd." Adam finishes the sentence.

"I'm sorry but I don't know where this need to save someone else comes from," she says with her head in her hands "for both you and Todd, you guys weren't built for that."

"It won't happen again." Adam says as he covered his head in his blanket.

"You guys have always been jumping in to save everyone but never to look after yourselves." Janey combs her hair out of her face while wiping tears away.

"It won't happen again." Adam says as he closes his eyes.

The next day, Janey drops off Adam at the airport where he promises her, he'll keep in touch but will ultimately only be gone for a couple of months. Not even more than two months.

As Adam is walking through the airport to his departing flight, Adam notices that everyone is transfixed on the screens.

While walking, Adam sees it's about the Justice League fighting a very powerful robot. Adam gets to his terminus and sees that he's a few minutes early so he can spend the time to see what's going on on the screen. Adam takes off his headset.

"see that The Flash and Martian Manhunter have already been incapacitated by the A.M.A.Z.O. robot. Green Arrow and Black Canary can only do so much to help nearby civilians to get to safety. Batman, Hawkman and Aquaman have had to resort to leading the android away from the populace but since copying the abilities of each Leaguer the android encounters, it's become stronger and stronger... We'll take you live to the scene with..."

Some people around Adam starting comparing the heroes chances.

"Does Batman have a tool in his belt for this?"

"It doesn't matter what the bot can do, it can't copy Nth metal."

"Why doesn't Aquaman electrocute it already?"

"I've told you already, if Canary keeps screaming at the robot, it'll copy her abilities too and then they're screwed"

"What if the robot uses the Speed Force?"

"Aside from intangibility, what other martian powers does this thing need?"

"What can Arrow Guy even do?"

No matter how many questions filled the space, the silence between remarks felt like an eternity as everyone watched on in awe, as no one wanted to see them lose.

Adam heard his plane departing and decided he'll leave this up to fate and hear about how the League won when he gets back, since he may not understand the radio or news stations in South America.

As he was walking down his walkway to his plane, he heard almost everybody back in the building cheer and scream.

Buckling into his seats, the air hostesses seemed a bit nervous.
