What's on TV? [2/?]
Batman had just finished the mobile cameras right before the team left for Bialya. They were already stashed on board Megan’s bioship as they headed towards the desert.
“Don’t you think you’re going a little too far?” Diana asked. Several of the Justice League members were standing in the monitor room watching as Batman synced up the cameras to the Justice Hall.
“No.”
Diana looked at Black Canary who shrugged at her. “It’s Bats,” was all Dinah had to say.
“I personally think it’s a good idea,” Flash said. He’s waiting for the footage to appear on the screen.
“You just want to spy on your nephew,” Dinah exasperated. “And you wonder why they rebel so much.”
“Can you blame me? I know you spy on them time to time to make sure they’re doing okay.” Dinah flushed a little and didn’t reply.
The screen came to life and the first thing they all noticed was that the kids were separated. “Those are Bialya Republican Soldiers uniforms,” said Robin, perched on top of a rock. “But what are Bialyans doing in… Bialya?” He had pulled up a map from computer gantlet.
“Okay,” Robin said. “Better question. What am I doing in Bialya?” He peered closer to the date listed on his map. “In September!” he cried out. “What happened to March?”
A collective silent fell in the room. “Does Robin not remember the last six months?” Flash asked. “Wait, where’s Wally?!”
The camera shifted screens, just in time to see Wally and Artemis being shot at. “Wally!” Flash shouted as his nephew and Artemis dodged around bullets.
“Are those tanks?” John asked. The tanks unleashed another barrage arsenal.
“We have to go and help them! If they don’t remember the last six months, then they don’t remember they’re on a team, much less why they’re there!” Flash said. He moved to race out the door with Batman following close behind.
Or at least that’s what would have happened had Diana not grabbed Batman by the back of his cape and tripped Flash before he could make a dash.
“Hold it you two,” she said. “Let’s see how the kids handle this. This what they wanted no? To prove themselves to us.”
“But, no memories!” Flash protested. He waved his arms frantically, trying to convey the amount of worry he was feeling. If the kids at least remembered, then it wouldn’t be too bad but they clearly didn’t!
“Let’s check up on the other children,” Diana said. “Let’s see how they’re progressing. If it looks like they can’t handle it, then we’ll intervene, but in the mean time, why not give them a chance?”
The cameras quickly shifted, trying to find the kids. Soon the entire league filtered into the room. They began to gather around the screen, watching as the mission carefully unfolded, a mere hair trigger away from dashing out the door to rescue the kids.
“Kaldur!!”
“Hold it Orin, if I don’t get to go save Wally, none of us are.”
“Ahaha, that’s my girl!”
“Poor Superboy.”
“You’ve trained Megan well J’onn.”
“She has gained much experience.”
“They’re doing exceptionally well.”
Finally, after much explosions and fighting the League watched as the kids stumbled back onto Megan’s bioship and headed home.
“See, they are capable of handling it themselves,” Diana pointed out.
“We’re going to have to work on some mind shielding techniques. Having someone capable of wiping their memories is going to be very troublesome,” Dinah muttered to herself. She looked at J’onn. “Can you help with that?”
J’onn nodded. “I believe so. Yes. Should we schedule a meeting?”
“Thank god, they’re okay,” Barry said, clenching his chest. “Definitely don’t want to tell Iris that Wally can’t remember the last six months.”
“She’ll skin you alive?” Oliie asked.
“Worse, she’ll refuse to cook for a week, forcing me to live off fast food and pre-made meals. It’s a fate worse than death.”
“Batman?” Orin asked, looking at the dark knight who had remained quiet.
Batman adjusted the camera to look at the sphere that Superboy had found.
“Worried about that thing?” Orin asked.
“Yes. But more importantly, no, Superboy isn’t allowed to keep it.”
“Don’t you think you’re going a little too far?” Diana asked. Several of the Justice League members were standing in the monitor room watching as Batman synced up the cameras to the Justice Hall.
“No.”
