In the Watchtower...

Batman awakens in the medical bay with Martian Manhunter and Voyance there to take care of him.

"Lie still." J'onn tells him, stopping him from getting of the bed. "You have a concussion and two cracked ribs."

"I've survived worse." Batman says as he stands up on his bed.

"I am truly sorry." J'onn says to Batman, feeling responsible for Morgaine escaping

"Why?" Batman asked, holding the side of chest.

"I hesitated in battle and it cost us Midoriya." J'onn explains to him, feeling that Izuku becoming possessed by Le Fey was his fault, just like Etrigan said. "Perhaps Etrigan is right. Perhaps I have been tainted by that sorceress."

J'onn continues. "I know what I experienced was a mere illusion, but it felt so real. The urge to embrace it was almost more than I could bear."

"Sometimes I believe I would do anything to see my loved ones again." He finishes with this. "You can't imagine how that feels."

Batman did not respond to that, but Clair enters the conversation. "I think you two are missing the bigger picture, Le Fey has Midoriya and to save him, we're gonna have to fight him."

Meanwhile with the other team at Hickman's mansion...

Hickman gives the superheroes a tour around his mansion as the guests were dancing.

"Home theatre,complete gym, game room." He explains to Wonder Woman, trying to impress her.

He stops and shows a statue. "And this is one of my most prized possessions. A genuine Greek—-"

"Roman." Wonder Woman corrects him.

"Excuse me?" Hickman asked.

"This statue is a Roman copy." She confirms.

"How do you know that?" He asked, not realising that she was right.

"Trust her on this one." Flash tells him. "I'm guessing she posed for the original."

"Oh, a model, eh?" Hickman said with a smile. "I thought so."

Wonder Woman wasn't somewhat surprised by what Flash said, as he walked off with a smirk.

Pankration takes a look at the statue and saw it was a copy as well, he spat at the statue before walking with the others.

Flash was later distracted by some ladies playing by a indoor waterfall. "Uh, I've got a fresh lead. Carry on." Before running off for a "dip". And leaving the rest with Hickman.

"I have the power to jump-start your career, babe." Hickman says as he puts his hand over Wonder Woman's shoulder. "But I'm guessing you already knew that."

"And what'a the source of your power? Some kind of crystal or stone?" Wonder Woman asked, playing with his act to find the stone.

"How'd guess?" He asked, surprised by how much she knows.

"I'd love to see your stone, Mr Hickman." She says to him.

"Please, c-call me H-Harv." He said with stuttering.

Hickman shows her the stone's location: his bedroom, along with several other artefacts scattered around.

Hickman explains how he got a stone as he sat on his bed and pointed to to the head of it, showing a strange brick."So, while I was working on the castle excavation, I found this."
