“Bats? What are you doing?”
Batman didn’t stop his work to look back at Flash. “Setting up camera in Mount Justice,” he replied without missing a beat. He connected a red wire to blue wire, plugged in a cord and suddenly onto the monitor screen popped up thousands of tiny screens showing off various areas of Mount Justice.
“Why?” Flash asked. He half knew the answer already (this was Bats after all) but figured it would be best to asked.
“For emergency and surveillance,” was Batman’s curt reply.
“Right,” Flash said. ‘That’s Bat speak for I’m worried about the kids and want to keep an eye on them.’ “If you say so, Bats.”
--------------
Green Arrow was the first to notice it. To be more precise, he was the first one to start it. He’ll deny it, but it was completely and totally his fault.
It had been two days since Artemis had joined the team, and Green Arrow wouldn’t admit it, but he was a bit worried about the girl. The entire league knew about the cameras Batman set up in Mount Justice. Green Arrow figured he would just… “peek in” to make sure Artemis was getting along with her new teammates. He knew his newest protégé was a bit of a hothead and didn’t want her aliening herself too early on. (And yes if someone was to ask, he was worried okay? He isn’t Bats; he can admit that he’s worried.)
So he opened the first camera… and promptly got distracted by Megan.
Green Arrow stared at the screen, not believing his eyes. Then in a heartbeat, he was out the room. Seconds later he was dragging a confused J’onn back with him.
“What is your niece doing?!” Green Arrowed asked.
J’onn looked at the screen. “Hmm. She is getting better.”
On the screen display there were thousands of different brown sculptures. They ranged from big to small and covered the entire kitchen and part of the living room. Green Arrow could see everything from simple shapes like circles to complex animals like lions and elephants.
“She’s merely practicing her shapeshifting abilities,” J’onn informed the archer. “To be a good shape shifter, one must have more than adequate knowledge of anatomy. Traditionally, the soil of Mars is moldable enough, but Earth’s soil is more dry, so chocolate is a proper substitute.”
“Chocolate?” Green Arrow echoed.
“Yes. All it requires is some heat to become moldable. I’m more concerned as to why you’re spying on my niece.”
“Not the point here, J’onn!” Green Arrow deflected. “I want to know is if she willing to share!”
---------------
Aquaman was not spying on his protégé.
Okay he was. Kaldur had been... well. He had seemed happier since his return to Atlantis and his reuniting with his two friends. It as if he was surer of himself. However, Aquaman was still worried. Young Kaldur was much like a son to him and what parent didn’t worry about their child?
“I do not understand?” Kaldur’s image appeared on the screen. Standing next to him was the rest of the team. Each member was dressed in army gear and covered in goggles. In their hands were plastic toy guns.
“I’m not sure I do either?” Megan asked.
“Team bonding guys,” Robin said. He handed containers to each person and showed up to attach them to the guns.
“We’re supposed to shoot each other?” Superboy asked.
“Well, it’s paintball. So it’s pretty fun,” Wally explained.
“The object for this game is simple elimination,” Artemis laid down the rules. “Basically, if you get hit, you’re out. The last team still clean is the winner. We’re gonna pair up since three of us know how to play this game and three of us don’t. Megan and I have green, Wally and Kaldur you have yellow and Robin and Superboy will have blue.”
“It’s a great way to learn how to dodge and act stealthy,” Robin said with a grin.
“Then the rest of us are a disadvantage Robin,” Kaldur pointed out.
“No better way to learn then out in field training,” Robin sang. “Beside I still have to teach Superboy how to hide.”
“I see. Then let’s go,” Kaldur said.
Aquaman watched as they left Mount Justice to play outside. He stroked his beard in thought. “Hmm. Paintball? Perhaps I should suggest that for the next Justice League retreat.”
