Baby Justice

Chapter 2: Unexpected Find

It had been six hours and they still hadn't returned was all that went through Batman's head. Black Canary was waiting with him and was trying to get him to calm down. Though the time had made her worry too and her motherly connection with all of them didn't help. After so much more waiting they eventually called in Martian Manhunter to see if he could make some kind of link with M'Gann. However despite his best efforts Martian Manhunter was unfortunately unsuccessful, unable to make any sort of connection, deepening all their worries.

At that point they all decided they'd better see for themselves what was happening. Immediately they went to the zeta tube and within seconds were at the Hall of Justice in Washington DC.

Once there Batman pulled out a gadget that was connected to a tracking device in Robin's belt. The three followed it to the World War Two monument and were shocked by what they saw. There on the floor were seven bundles of clothing sprawled out but yet there appeared to be lumps in them.

The three quickly ran over to one of the piles of clothing and lifted it up to reveal, much to their shock, a very small child in the would be teenagers place. They eventually went to all the piles and saw the exact same thing. All the kids looked to be no more than toddlers and very small for their clothes.

At first Manhunter was stressing as they searched, not being able to find M'Gann until his foot lightly tapped something. As he looked closer it turned out to be a tiny M'Gann asleep and in camouflage mode. Manhunter, relieved, quickly picked her up and held Megan close. Almost immediately the little Martian girl cuddled into her uncle's warm chest, clearly feeling very comfortable there. As Manhunter held his niece he noticed M'Gann was actually different from the others. Her clothing fit her perfectly but he also remembered this was because her clothes responded to the changes of her body.

"How did this happen?" Black Canary asked worried about the kids immensely worried.

"I believe this must be the work of Klarion; we will have to consult Dr. Fate on this." Batman stated equally concerned for the team.

"Well we better get them back to mount justice then and contact the other mentors, they'll want to see this." Martian Manhunter state's as he simultaneously lightly bounced his little niece.

Black Canary then went over and gently picked up Artemis bundling her up in her clothing as well as Roy, a smile showing on her face at the two's cuteness. Batman then went over to Dick and the moment he saw him was stunned at the sight of his nearly infant body, having never seen him this young. Despite the shock he very carefully scooped him up in his arms, tightly cradling his delicate body. He then went over to Wally and carefully picked him up, keeping Dick very tightly held in his other arm as well.

Meanwhile Martian Manhunter first took tiny Conner in his other arm then with his shapeshifting abilities grew two more arms to pick up Zatanna and Kaldur with. Once all were gathered Manhunter sent out a psychic call to the bio ship for it to follow them, which it did faithfully.

The group then went down the streets back to the Hall of Justice. They had decided to take the kids back via Zeta tubes, except M'Gann. Who Manhunter would take with him on the bioship since they didn't know what the kids mental states would be and figured she should be with someone she definitely knew.

However Martian Manhunter saw them to the hall and then got in the bioship with M'Gann and flew. That left Batman and Black Canary having to make a sling out of Batman's cape to put Kaldur in and with Zatanna on top of him. Then they had to balance Conner on top of Black Canary's shoulder which was not easy with how few hands they had.

Once situated they entered the Hall of Justice very quietly making sure not to wake up the kids. They then went over to the Zeta tube and thanked heaven it didn't wake any of them up.
