Baby Justice

Chapter 16: Plans and Schemes

The Watchtower

"Manhunter have traced the location yet." Batman called out to Martian Manhunter.

"Almost Batman I've still got a few lines of this code to decipher."

"Guess Klarion didn't want to make this simple by just giving us their location." Flash commented frustrated by the whole situation.

A few minutes later Martian Manhunter had at last cracked the code.

"I've got it!"

"Put it on the screen!" Superman yelled desperate to get his son back.

Immediately Martian Manhunter put the uncracked code on the screen revealing the location of the kids.

"Mongolia?" Black Canary read confused as to why the light was there.

"Yes but now that we know their location we can come up with a plan to save them." Flash pointed out desperate to get his little nephew home safely.

"I'd say it's pretty simple we go there, bash their heads in, and get the kids out!" Green Arrow said impatiently worried about all the kids.

"Green Arrow I am aware you are worried about the children but we can not simply go into this without a plan of action." Aquaman told Green Arrow aware that he wasn't thinking rationally.

"What else are we supposed to do every minute we waste here is another minute those kids have to wait and risk being hurt!"

"Green Arrow calm down Aquaman is right we need a plan of action or those kids won't have a chance at survival. Don't forget you're not the only one with people you care about at risk." Batman scolded Green Arrow putting him in his place.

Green Arrow was silent nodding that he understood what Batman meant.

"Now I have a plan. We will meet with the light and agree to their terms but instead we will make a copy of the phantom projector. However the copy will actually be a timed bomb set for sixty minute. Now Martian Manhunter you are going to enter with us but in camouflage mode. While we stall the light as long as we can you get all the kids out of there."

"But how we don't know the lay out of this place for all we know we could just get ourselves captured and the kids killed!" Superman questioned.

"I already thought of that, Manhunter could you connect with M'Gann or any of the others if you sent out a mental message?"

"Yes I believe that would be possible."

"Good then you can use that to find their location. Superman I know you're scared but believe me we all are even me but this is the best shot we have."

"Ok then what are we waiting for?"

"I believe we should use M'Ganns bioship if we are to get all the children out when we retrieve them." Martian Manhunter suggested.

Everyone agreed and then got ready to go equipping weapons, crafting the fake phantom zone projector, and lastly making the bomb inside it. Once they were all ready they got into the bioship and headed off ready to rescue their kids.

As they flew towards the lights headquarters, everyone of them, worried about the kids and if they could save them. Batman was barely hanging on to his stoic facade as he longed for his baby bird to back safe in his arms. Dinah struggled to keep it together while Oliver was kicking himself for not keeping his kids safe. Aquaman though regal was ridden with worry as his basically son was lost somewhere possibly cold and alone. Barry looked at the picture he took of him, Wally, and Iris at the amusement park wanting desperately to hold his nephew and never let go. Martian Manhunter was using his mind calling out to M'Gann desperate to hear her cute little voice. As for Superman his eyes were red from the silent tears he shed distraught with the fact his son whom he finally loved and made a connection with was gone and ripped from his life. Unfortunately for our heroes they had no choice they had but to endure their pain or else the kids as well as the rest of the world would be doomed.

Mongolia

"Conner is it clear?" Roy asked the supper toddler who was peaking into the hallway ahead of them.

"Yay wewe cleaw." Conner whispered back.

With that the group of little superheroes, stealthily as they could, moved down the next hallway.

"Woy wha awe we's wookin fow?" Wally asked confused as to where they were trying to go.

"We have to find some kind of map Walls or else we'll have no idea how to get out of here." Roy answered looking around to see if there was one nearby.

For nearly ten minutes the team searched the halls undetected but were unsuccessful at finding any sir of map.

"Roy there has to be something more productive we can do then aimlessly looking around for a map." Kaldur suggested to his friend.

"I don't know if there is much we can do I have no idea where we are or what we're supposed to do." Roy answered

"Guys wook whas happenin ovew hewe!" Artemis called out to her friends as she looked out a big window.

Ever came over to only to see a all the super villains they knew to be members of the light gathered in a big meeting hall.

"Whas goin on?" Conner asked curiously seeing many of the teams and his own nemesis there.

"I don't know but let's listen in to see if we can find out." Kaldur requested.

All the kids became silent as they listened into the villains meeting.

"Ladies and gentleman if we could all please settle down we may begin." Lex Luthor asked presiding over the meeting.

Conner got angry as he saw the evil millionaire, having been taken away from his daddy because of Luthor.

The crowd of villains still continued to be loud and rowdy causing Luthor to do something drastic. He turned around and gave a look to his bodyguard Mercy making her pull out her arm gun. Immediately she shot it at the roof causing the room to at last go silent.

"Good now that we are all quiet we may proceed with the meeting. Now to start off as we all know the Justice League will be arriving here soon to bargain for their protégés. With them they will be bringing the Phantom Zone projector."

Immediately whispers went throughout the crowd everyone shocked they could get a hold of such an object.

"Now once we get a hold of the Phantom Zone projector we shall proceed to capture the Justice League's main members. From there we shall release the criminals we need from the projector and then go after the rest of the Justice League until they are completely eradicated."

A great cheer came from the crowd but for the little children above they were mortified. Their mentors, along with the other league members, captured placed in a dimension of suffering and torture. Many of the little guys started to tear up a little at the thought of their mother and father's figured in pain.

It was then Riddler interrupted the cheering asking as usual one of his fifty questions he had to ask a day.

"Exactly what will we do with the brats after we capture the league?"

Everyone went silent now all curious about the answer to this themselves.

"For starters we will have Simon wipe their memories of their old lives but of course not their skills and we shall then have a bid for who gets to be who's new Master." Luthor answered confidently knowing he could make a serious profit from this.

All the kids froze shocked by the idea of having their whole lives erased for one of villainy. However this didn't sit well most with Dick not wanting to forget about his beloved daddybats.

"Nooooooooooo noooooooooo!" The baby bird wailed angrily.

Everyone covered their ears as the baby's shrieking made them hurt.

"Robin calm down shhhh shhhh!" Kaldur said as he tried to calm the baby in his arms down.

However it was to late for all the villains below noticed them. Immediately Atomic Skull shot a blast of energy at them causing the glass the be obliterated as the kids narrowly escaped.

"What are you doing we still need them alive now go after them!" Luthor commanded.

Immediately the villains made a run for it determined to pass their legacy on with these children. The kids however ran for their lives praying their mentors would rescue them soon and save them from his nightmare.
