Chapter 11: Humanity
Mount Justice; October 10th, 16:58 EDT
"Pineapple juice?" Captain Marvel offers the glass with a paper umbrella to a relaxing Wally. His right arm now in a cast, as he sat in a reclining chair.
"Ahh! Just what the doctor ordered." The speedster says appreciatively after a long drink. "How's the arm doing, Wally?" the Captain asks curiously.
"Well, nothing wrong that nachos can't cure." He isn't subtle in his motives, leaning back on his chair as the sounds of his teammates practicing can be heard from the center of the room.
"Nachos?" the captain takes a moment to process what Wally is not quite asking for before taking off. "Oh, I'll go get you some."
As he flies by, Robin is hit and lands on his back before rolling with the force of the Throw that gains his opponent 5 points, he groans.
Artemis smirks as she jogs towards the Bird, though not making it clear if she's still fighting or going to help him get up.
Behind her, Kaldur and M'gann are in far closer combat. She throws a low punch towards Kaldur's side that he blocks with his forearm for 2pts, stepping forward to throw another at his face that he uses an open hand to knock his wrist out of the way for another 2pts. He spins to try and get a front kick in, though M'gann blocks with a knife-hand to his ankle for 2pts back.
Across the room at a stone column table, Conner and Joshua are arm wrestling, Wolf was behind Conner and Fang was behind Joshua, both giving their silent support to their individual owner.
"Good work everyone." Black Canary speaks up calmly even though two of the teens are still fighting. "In fact, it's been a very productive week."
Kaldur and M'gann make their way to the center of the training ring, they stop when they see Artemis standing calmly, looking at Wally. "Yeah, for everyone except for kid slump over there." The archer taunts.
Wally finishes his drink, glaring at the blonde. "Hey, arm broken in the fight against the Injustice League here." He waves off the cast to prove his point.
Black Canary chuckles. "I've really enjoyed being your, uh… den mother this week."
Recognize:
Zatara; 11
Everyone in the room turns to the man in the suit and top hat with a cane that he's not using to stand walk out of the Zeta Tube as he moves to the center of the room then uses a HoloScreen without a word to the other in the room.
Recognized
Zatanna Zatara
Authorization
Zatara; 11
The Zeta Tube lights up again and Zatanna steps up. "Zatanna, this is the Team. Team, this is my daughter, Zatanna." She looks very much like her father with the dark black hair that falls over her shoulder and is parted on the left side, and skin tone. The only difference being her baby blue eyes, and that she's wearing a school uniform.
M'gann flies over to the clearly nervous girl, landing easily. "Hi I'm-"
"Robin!" the Boy Wonder cuts her off with a bout of vibrancy and a wave, then clears his throat as he steps forward. "I mean, I'm Robin. Ah, she's Megan, uh and that's Wally, Artemis, Kaldur, Joshua, and Conner." Even Conner gave her a smile.
"Welcome to the Cave." Kaldur offers. "Uh, thanks." Zatanna says quietly, looking over at her dad. "So, uh, you- you are you joining the Team?" Robin stutters, Joshua chuckled.
"Eh, now let's not get ahead of ourselves." Zatara speaks up his voice shakes a little as he steps closer to his daughter again. "This is strictly a visit." He turns to Canary. "Though I am sorry we missed the Training, it is something from which Zatanna could benefit."
M'gann looks curiously at the Team. "Do the rest of you guys get the impression we're still on probation with Zatara?" she asks telepathically.
Robin faces her instantly and Zatanna does as well, making it hard to tell if M'gann accidentally included her in the Link.
"Not just Zatara. I mean, why is Marvel still hangin' around?" Conner asks his annoyance coming through in waves. Joshua throws an arm over Conner's shoulder and smiles at him. "Because we're more fun than the league." He said with a chuckle.
Wally pipes up in the Captain's defense. "And because we like having him around." Artemis turns on the ginger. "You like having him around because he waits on you hand and foot." "And your point is?" Wally drags.
"It almost makes one nostalgic for Red Tornado's tenure as our supervisor." Kaldur says. Robin lets a sarcastic half chuckle through the link. "Yeah, at least he trusted us."
"If you ignore the fact we shouldn't have trusted him." Conner snarls, seeming to forget that while he can't be heard his very obvious hand gestures can be seen, which annoys Zatanna, and make Joshua move his arm off of him. "He was a traitor. That machine nearly got M- all of us killed!"
"Are you guys having a psychic conversation?" Zatanna asks, catching the entire room's attention. "Because I can't decide if that's cool or, uh, really rude."
Conner and Joshua can feel the adult's expectant looks or something else tips them off since they both raised an eyebrow but don't even look at the them before speaking. "Alright, fine. We were talking about Tornado. It's been weeks since his attack and the League hasn't told us anything."
"The League is searching for Tornado as well as the other Androids that invaded the Cave and their creator, T.O. Morrow." Canary says strongly. "Batman's made tracking them down our highest priority."
"But you've found none of the above." Robin objects. "Not yet, but Tornado is a member of the Justice League. The Team is not to pursue this."
"Why don't you all take Zatanna on a, uh…" He trails off not seeing her. "a tour of the Cave?"
Everyone is now on high alert and turn towards Wolf and Fang as they snuffle in their sleep. The reason why, Zatanna was leaning into Fang's side and petting Wolf.
Wolf gets up, half asleep, as Captain Marvel speaks up. Fang just grumbles as he tries to go back to sleep. "Huh, you're giving a tour? Cool!" Captain Marve
Conner steps up to the hero, who is petting a staring Wolf. "Actually, I was hoping you'd take Wolf outside, he needs the exercise. "Uh, we'll join you in a few." "Do you mind taking Fang as well, I don't want him to just sleep all day." Fang just growls lowly at Joshua's words.
"Sure, sure. I can do that. Come on, Wolf, Fang." Capitan Marvel says brightly, taking off towards the back door of the Cave.
"Wait, My nachos?" Wally whines. Conner and Joshua grabbed his arms and drags the speedster along.
The Team and Zatanna walk into the lounge area of the Mountain, not a word being shared between them.
The younger girl jogs up to Robin's side surprising him "When did you… How did you…?" Robin tries but Zatanna speaks up before he can finish.
"We're not really taking a tour, are we?" The Team stops and Conner turns towards her. "No. We're hunting down that robot."
"Yes, we are." Kaldur agrees. "Oo, wow, Out loud and everything." Zatanna muses. "What about New Girl?" Artemis asks the Boy Wonder.
"I'm sure she won't tell." Robin defends quickly. Zatanna turns to Robin. "I can't tell, not if you kidnap me." Artemis smirks appreciatively. "Oh, she's going to fit in great." Joshua says with a smirk.
The camouflaged BioShip flies over the heavily wooded area outside Mount Justice where Captain Marvel stands holding a tree log that Fang was holding onto with his jaws, and Wolf was eating the nachos.
Fang let go of the log. The Hero throws the log with a smile. "Fetch." He tells Wolf, who is still eating, and Fang runs after the log. "C'mon! Fetch." He tries to get Wolf to join in. "Please?"
The Bioship continues to fly away from the mountain when suddenly a beep goes through the ship and Dinah's voice comes through the comm set. "M'gann, the Bioship wasn't authorized for departure."
"We're kidnapping Zatanna!" M'gann says brightly then realizes. "To, uh, show her Happy Harbor. Be back soon!" "Good job at being discreet." Joshua says with a deadpan.
"Uh, Roger that, Have fun." Canary says as she watches their trajectory on a HoloScreen. "I did not authorize permission to-" Zatara starts. "They're good kids, Giovanni." Dinah assures as she turns off the HoloScreen with the Bioship's location on it, turning back towards the Cave. "Trustworthy kids, don't worry."
Zatara watches her with an unconvinced look and Dinah looks concerned that she could very well be wrong.
"Where are we going?" Robin demands. "Batman is the world's greatest detective, he's searched for Tornado and Morrow in every logical place. If we're gonna do better, we need an illogical solution, a truly dumb idea." He had glanced over his shoulder and saw Kid Flash.
Kid pouts a little at his friend's blatant quasi-insult, only to find that the entire Team and Zatanna are looking his way. "As a matter of fact…" He says with a confident tone.
Belle Reeve; October 10th, 18:35 CDT
"Warden Strange owed us a favor for stopping last month's prison break." Miss M informs. "He's given us five minutes with you."
"Spill Ivo." Superboy snarls. "How do we find T. O. Morrow and his Reds?" Legend growls next to him.
"Now, why in the world would I know how to find Morrow?" Ivo questions lazily as he leans back in his chair.
"Because, it's a truly dumb idea." KF is clearly at least a little salty about the Team idea that he's an idiot. "You're Morrow's biggest competitor in the evil android game." Zatanna watches from the back of the group since she is the only one still in civilian clothes. "Who better to keep track of what he's up to, and where?" Kid offers.
Ivo doesn't turn down the idea. "Ah, I see your point. So, let me rephrase." He leans forward and looks Miss M in the eyes. "Why in the world would I tell you how to find Morrow?"
"He knows." Aqualad decides, then turns to Miss M. "Do what you must." When her eyes snap open they're glowing green.
"Oh, please. As if I've never faced a telepath before." He chuckles. Zatanna is suddenly at his side chanting. "Trulb tuo S'worrom eurt noitacol!"
"Morrow's in a secret underground base beneath Yellowstone National Park 100 meters South of Old Faithful." He says quickly.
The entire Team Is completely stunned, looking at Ivo. Though Robin does need to pop onto his toes to actually see the scientist thanks to his taller member standing in front of him.
"Wait, w-what just happened?" Ivo stutters. Strange watches the whole exchange over the monitors, his eyebrows knitting together as Ivo rated the other man out. In camouflage mode, the Bioship flies over the empty space.
"Block out all external communications." Aqualad commands. "Soon, Canary, Zatara, and Batman too I imagine, they will know about our… visit with Professor Ivo, we do not have much time."
"Look." Robin chuckles trying to lighten the conversation a little. "I'm trying to be nonchalant here."
"Why?" Zatanna asks. "Be as chalant as you like." Robin cracks a smile.
"I think we're all just trying to get a handle on your powers." Artemis informs. "Could you teleport us to Tornado or Morrow to a cell or force his bots to surrender?"
"Or create peace on Earth for all time?" Zatanna returns. "Zatara couldn't even do all that and I'm nowhere near on my dad's level." She turns very serious as she looks directly at Artemis. "I need to know a spell code, or else have time to prep it. Plus, all magic requires energy which usually has to come from within. I can't just make the impossible happen at will."
"What's our ETA to Yellowstone?" Superboy demands angrily. "I'm way past ready to stuff Tornado into a trash compact." He said punching his fist into his hand. "Whoa there buddy calm down. Remember we gotta find him first." Legend says, putting his hand on Superboy's shoulder trying to keep his fellow clone calm.
"Are you so certain he betrayed us?" Aqualad asks calmly. "Aren't you?!" Superboy asked.
"I am not convinced." Aqualad admits. "And even so, that makes him but a victim of his creator's programming. Certainly, he deserves the chance to prove he's more than the weapon others designed him to be."
Superboy closes his eyes as he turns back towards the front of the Bioship, when he opens his eyes the rage is gone.
Yellowstone National Park; October 10th, 20:22 MDT
Old Faithful creates a geyser as the camouflaged Bioship flies past it and lands in the trees.
Aqualad is already standing when it touches down. "Stealth Mode." He hits his belt buckle.
With a smile, Kid Flash taps his emblem with his cast. Artemis hits the center of her Arrow, the green of her costume darkens to the color of pine trees during the night while her bright green arrow is now a pale grey. Legend Taps his emblem and his shirt went from blue to black and his emblem went from yellow to light grey.
Zatanna watches the transformations with intrigue. M'gann's clothes darken to a fully black bodysuit, only the red X and the blue cape remaining.
Zatanna opens the door and Aqualad approaches her. "I recommend you stay behind." Aqualad suggested to the teams guest.
"Is that an order?" Zatanna asks quickly. "No." assures her quickly. "You can do as you see fit."
"Good." The girl begins her chant and guides bright blue smoke up her body. "Emit to yrt eht wen kool!"
Now wearing a white button-up shirt with an equally white bowtie, a pale-yellow vest under a black twin-tailed suit coat, and white gloves all reminiscent of her father's costume, only she is wearing silver tights, black short shorts, and shin-high black boots that made the look her own.
The new Android, Red Volcano, watches the Team make their way through the trees on a monitor. He then turns to Tornado. "Its time to prove yourself loyal, brother. Kill them for me." Tornado looks at the screen.
Robin and Aqualad approach a tall tree close to an open field area. Robin pulls up his HoloGlove, looking over the map. "Ivo's right. Something's down there."
Aqualad leads the charge, the rest of the Team following him, only to be stopped by a harsh blowing wind that knock everyone off their feet.
Superboy squinted through the dust that was being kicked up, his eyes going wide slightly when he sees Red Tornado above them.
Tornado uncrossed his arms and created a huge red twister, a second one popped up next to it, and it continues until the Team is trapped between a league hero and seven gigantic tornadoes.
"Why, Tornado? Why are you doing this?" Miss M shouts over the wind.
His arms are once again crossed over his chest as more tornadoes come up between him and the Team. "Message received?" Miss Martian links up the Team.
Superboy nods before turning back to Tornado. "Who cares why, Get him!" Superboy shouted as he and Legend charged forward. Aqualad hesitated for a moment before joining his teammates.
The other three Reds watch from the Lab, the feed is good enough quality to hear Aqualad. "Superboy, Legend, maneuver seven!"
Their feet drag in the dirt as they quickly stopped, their fingers threading together. Landing in a solid horse stance they waited until one of the Atlantean's barefeet landed in each of their hands, they then shot him high into the air with a battle cry from all three of them.
Tornado looks like he's not going to move as Aqualad pulls back his fist, he suddenly moved just enough for Aqualad's eyes to go wide before he is punched in the face by Tornado.
Superboy gets taken out as the two of them crash together. Legend catches them both, lays them on the ground, and launches himself at tornado. Artemis steps up with her bow in hand, grabbing two arrows that she shoots at Tornado. Robin coming to her side to back her up if needed.
The arrows nearly make it to Tornado, before he stops them dead, then pulls them into the tornado keeping him in the air. With no warning, they're shot back at Robin and Artemis. He then grabs Legends fist and throws him at Artemis and Robin aswell.
"Look out!" Robin tries to warn but neither of them can get out of the way before they explode upon contact with the ground. Legend then landed in a roll and ended in a crouch.
"That does it, Red." Kid stands up from his crouch. "You're not the only spin doctor around here." He spins and creates his own twister due to the speed of his whirling.
Miss Martian tries to take advantage of Tornado's distraction, coming at him from high and behind.
Just as she goes to throw a punch at Tornado, he turns over his shoulder, avoiding her hit and grabbing her wrist. Throwing her into Wally, making them both hit the ground, hard.
Zatanna is the only one left standing. "Etaerc a… a… dleihs dnuora ym-" Her stuttered spell is cut off by Tornado's hand around her neck.
He once again says nothing, before dropping her to the ground. Only then do all the other tornadoes disappear, while he remains high off the ground above them.
Volcano comes up behind him. "Quite the performance brother." The rock that he is floating on continuing to grow. "But we both know that's all it was." Off to the side, two words are visible, PLAY DEAD. Volcano continues. "I have all your memories, Tornado, plus a next-gen processor. I know your next move before you do."
His arms shot out and the pieces of earth that Tornado's instructions were on break away as Volcano raises it behind him. The Team slowly sat up. Watching this, he scoffs.
"Blowing a message into the sand?" The message shatters and falls towards the Team with one move.
Aqualad forms swords with his Water Bearers, Superboy and Legend jump at the pieces, and Miss Martian uses her telekinesis to keep the other members safe. Though some still make it through, they have to scatter.
"Zatanna?" Robin asks since he had to dodge, and she had yelped from beside him as the bolder crashed. "I'm good." she assures. "But Red Tornado's getting away."
"Is he abandoning us?!" Artemis asks incredulously as she notched another arrow. "I don't believe so." Miss Martian defends.
KF runs up Volcano's pillar. "You stand no chance against me humans!" Volcano snarls as he hits Kid in the side with a harsh punch.
"We're not human!" Superboy, Legend and Miss Martian all shout. Miss Martian using her power to keep Superboy and Legend in the air as she flies towards the villain.
"Apologies, I suppose the proper inclusive term is-" two huge hands of Earth rise up and clap together over the Alien members of the Team, "- meat bags."
He swipes his right hand down and the Earth shatters. Dropping Aqualad and Artemis into a hole, they both scream as they fall.
Artemis is quick to use an arrow with a line to catch herself, swing over, and catch the leader before getting them out of the rift before it would've crushed them.
Robin uses the new ridge as a jumping-off point before he threw a disk at Volcano. He catches it, expecting it, but it still exploded. As the smoke clears, Volcano is revealed to be unharmed. "Tornado's memory files and my superior processing speed allow me to anticipate your every move." Volcano said, though steadily getting annoyed.
"Ekoms emoceb a dlofdnilb!" Zatanna chants. The deep black smoke around Volcano then covers his eyes.
Robin touches down and comes up to Zatanna's side. "Tornado never knew my moves." She says proudly.
"And I bet you've got some good ones." Robin's eyes go wide as he realizes what he said, then looks to the slightly annoyed Zatanna. "Um, sorry, that may have come off a little too Wally like." She chuckles. "I don't mind."
Volcano's eyes glow even brighter as the machinery inside him whirs into a new gear. The super volcano behind him erupts as he shoots an almost laser-like beam into the sky.
The lab around Tornado, Inferno, and Torpedo shakes. "We must stop him." Tornado says strongly, though not through his own voice due to the machine he's attached too.
"Why?" Inferno asks. "Once we believed we lived, now there is only Red Inferno and Red Torpedo. Why should we help save humanity when we are no longer human?"
Tornado turns to her. "The premise of your question is flawed. You were never human, but you were heroes." The other two turned to each other.
The magma flows down the mountain, encroaching on the Team as they continue to fight Red Volcano.
He launches two small, partially molten rocks at Kid Flash. He uses one of Volcano's earth spires to jump out of the way and flip to the level below before skidding to a stop. "He's activating a stage two eruption. If it gets to stage three, kiss the atmosphere goodbye."
Aqualad hops in beside him before charging at Volcano with his swords. "Hit him from all sides." Volcano takes out Aqualad with a simple wave of his right hand.
Superboy jumps towards Volcano from the front, Legend jumps at him from the back, their double lariat connects, and the pressure wave shows the force behind it, but Volcano blocked the attack. He grabs Superboy's and Legend's wrists, swings then around and slams them into each other, he then threw them at the edge of the magma. A camouflaged M'gann lands and pulls at Volcano's turned back.
He glances over his shoulder to cause a vent to burst with air, debris, and magma. She screams as her camo fell. "Miss Martian!" Superboy leaps to grab her.
Red Volcano lands in mere feet between the two teens, startling them. He turns to Superboy, swung his arm at him, Legend pushed him out of the way, taking the hit for him, getting knocked away.
Superboy watches as his fellow clone went flying, he turns and reaches out and grabs Miss M by the hood as she coughes.
"Ekoms D.N.A srorrim. Etaerc Dik Hsalf snoisulli!" Zatanna chants, one hand on the crouching Kid's shoulder. The smoke from the lava turns into copies of KF, all of them take off within moments.
"I use a watered-down version when I want to sneak out of the house." She says brightly.
Red Volcano raises a hand a rock fly to take out some of the KFs, while his back is turned the real KF comes at Volcano from behind, focusing in on Miss Martian.
He snags her away from him and comes to stop beside the rest of the Team. Suddenly, water bursts up on Aqualad's right, morphing in a stream that hits Red Volcano in the chest and knocks him into the lava behind him. "Nice hit!" Robin says, congratulating Aqualad.
"That attack was not mine, look!" Aqualad says, pointing towards Red Torpedo who stood resolute. Rising up on another pillar of water, he sent two smaller streams at a still partially submerged Red Volcano. Covering the area in steam.
A stone pillar rose from the ground, Volcano was lying on top. Red Tornado flies in and takes out the pillar, dropping Red Volcano back into the magma. The Team can only watch in stunned silence.
Fireballs rain down on Red Volcano as he surfaced again. Red Inferno continues to throw them until she gets close enough to punch Red Volcano.
She doesn't hesitate to get into the waist-high magma, Red Volcano has a crushing grip on her hands, yet she pushes against him.
"Sister, brother, stop!" Red Volcano shouts. Like a rocket, Red Torpedo hits Red Volcano in the chest, taking all three of them into the magma fully.
The two lighter Reds hold him down by the neck and arms despite how they're already melting. Red Tornado flies silently over the lava, using his tornado as a buffer before he stands on Red Volcano's chest. Now all of them are melting away with the heat.
"Father would be so disappointed." Red Volcano says before his eyes glow brightly one more time and the machinery within him whirs lowly.
Superboy jumped over quickly, grabbing Red by the cape and pulling him from the lava. Legend jumped and grabbed Inferno and Torpedo and pulled them out as well. Unfortunately, the volcano continued to rumble.
"Tornado, listen, we're on the verge of a Stage Three Super volcano Eruption. There's no turning back from that. We need to vent the pressure, fast." Red says nothing so Kid keeps talking. "But the ash cloud will bring on a worldwide nuclear winter unless you can divert it." Red Tornado nods. "Triangulate around the pressures center." He tells the Boy Wonder.
"Right." Robin types on his HoloGlove. "There, there, and there." He says as he finds the three spots.
Without a word, and barely a glance between them Artemis shoots her arrow at the Volcano, it breaks into three and lands in the three spots, they explode on contact.
Red Tornado's legs spark a little before he gets his signature tornado under him he flies off past the ash cloud.
His eyes glow red as he holds his arms out, creating a gigantic tornado that pulls the ash cloud up and through the upper atmosphere.
KF watches as the magma cools. "Yes!" Though the sound of whirring grabs his attention instantly.
Red Tornado doesn't land well, and the Team rushes over to him, but he can see the hand that was above the surface of the lava crumble away.
The Team is inside Morrow's lab, everyone but Superboy and Legend crowded around Tornado and his siblings. "There, that should do it." Robin said then sighs in relief.
"Yes, I can speak again." Tornado confirms, his faceplate coming back down, but his legs are still missing and his siblings are going to need new bodies.
"You were willing to sacrifice yourself to save the planet." Aqualad said stepping forward. "The planet would have survived, it was Humanity that was saved." Tornado r replied turning towards Aqualad. "Though not by me." Aqualad places a hand on the Leaguer's shoulder. "My sister and brother were the true heroes this day."
He turns to what's left of his siblings. "Thank you Brother." Inferno's and torpedo's voices come out with heavy static, but they are still understood.
"My point is this… you were never the mole, or a traitor." Aqualad says.
"No, I left to protect you from further attack and to find my creator, Morrow." Tornado reveals. KF is looking through stuff. "Cool." He holds up a large red hand. "Souvenir."
Robin is looking through another container, finding a leg and blueprints that he shows to KF grinning. "You ready, we can rebuild you guys better than you were before."
"I do not believe we should be repaired." Conner and Joshua glance over their shoulders, finally facing Tornado and his siblings. "Why did you volunteer to become our Den Mother in the first place, it's one thing that doesn't make sense." Legend asked.
"I was the pragmatic choice." Tornado says bluntly. "I do not require sleep. I have no secret identity or second life to live."
It clicks for KF first. "But you do have advanced AI Programming designed to learn, adapt, evolve." He plays with the souvenir as he speaks.
M'gann hits herself In the head. "Hello Megan! You wanted to learn how to be more human." "And you couldn't do that with the League." Artemis realizes. "Yeah, they're stiffs." "You're sure not going to learn emotion from Batman, trust me." Robin chuckles.
"Then the cave was not a proving ground only for us… but for you as well." Aqualad turns back to Tornado.
"I do not know if those statements are accurate." Tornado admits. "But perhaps they are true. And if I understand the term correctly, I believe I have come to… care about you all.
"See? Practically a meat bag already." Conner says lowly. "Which reminds me." He speaks.
In a medical room, a singular bed and a heart rate monitor show that there is someone else there.
Morrow turns to Tornado, Inferno, and Torpedo, frightened. "We will not hurt him." Tornado assures him, walking past his newly repaired siblings who stood still.
Morrow, looking properly aged to have been creating Heroes in the 1930s, wheezes under the oxygen mask.
"He was evil, but T.O. Morrow is still our father. We will care for him. It is the human thing to do."
The camouflaged Bioship takes off into the night sky, heading back to Mount Justice.
Robin leans forward, touching Zatanna's shoulder. "So, good kidnapping?" He asks. "Actually, yeah." She smiles as she turns back towards him. "Best ever."
Robin chuckles. "First of many, I hope." Zatanna turns back to the front, worried. "If my dad doesn't ground me for life."
"You, we'll all be lucky to just have our training sessions extended, or taken off mission for awhile, or worse!" Legend says, sounding frightened at the end. "What do you mean worse?" Miss M asks, raising an eyebrow. Legend gulped before answering. "Zatara could convince Batman to choose the punishment."
At his words, the entire team turned pale and shivered. "Is it to late to give up on being a hero?" KF asked with a chuckle, earning deadpan stares from everyone else.
Mount Justice October 11th 02:10 EST
"She's grounded for life!" Zatara shouts. "They're good kids, Giovanni. Don't worry, Giovanni." He says Canary's words right back to her. "She's never joining this team!"
His rant Is cut off as Captain Marvel walks back into the Mountain, with him, Wolf, and Ranga being soaked. "Um, are they coming out to play or what?"
Chapter end. Please review, it really helps.
