Author's Announcement

The grammars or anything else that needs checking were not checked, so apologies in advance :)

P.S - I have created an account and extended my stories to Penana (penana.com) although, I will still operate my Wattpad and Webnovel account. I am just testing out other websites and I am liking Penana and might move there... not certain yet though!

While the guardsmen and the Red Hood had some time to bond, after meeting with an unsuspecting villain in the sewers, meanwhile in the Watchtower that orbited around the Earth - a squad of grenadiers with their watchmaster - there were some conversations to be had.

As he took the initiative, Oliver Queen approached the leader of the squad - as prior knowledge with the other Watchmaster and Grenadier went - he made it obvious that he was not an abhuman or a xeno.

"Welcome to Earth."

Almost as if disappointed, nearly everyone in the room frowned and disapproved of Oliver's approach - especially as a first impression - when he received no response at all from the guardsmen that were detained. Their poses were impeccable, their stance and their backs straight and proud as they lined up standing as if undertaking a court hearing - awaiting - for their sentences.

With a heavy sigh, Oliver took a deep breath before he reminded them what they were earlier subjected to, yet the guardsmen did not even flinch at the mention of being subject again under such torture and interogation.

The guardsmen were forcibly woken up, and each of them were kept in a sizable cell - imprisoned in a glass box - before one at a time they were separately directed to the interrogation room and the process had been conducted by none other than Wonder Woman and Aquaman.

Despite threatening them with cruel torture, and even the possibility of death, each of the guardsmen were indifferent and did not spoke, although only did react and moved when they had an opportunity to strike at either of them, possibly to kill their captor: either through strangulation, or a beating until dead, or anything else really that would result in the outcome of their captors being dead.

Although, it always ended with a heavily and painfully subduing of a guardsman right after, and so if not all of the guardsmen were either bruised or heavily bruised.

When intimidation seemed to fail, they had considered truly torturing them but there were many among them that also protested even the thought of it. So, they all have looked to the man that has searched and entered their minds before: The Martian.

"I know what you all are thinking that I must do, but let us not forget that it might only serve to aggravate them further, and if they are much worse than the last; it would be difficult to gain their cooperation."

The Martian said his piece, before Aquaman spoke after him, and with Diana - Wonder Woman's support - that backed him up.

"If they are anything but worse than the last, I doubt that they would have a loose mouth. I mean, even the last ones were quite the stubborn ones before they eventually decided to speak to make a bargain with us." Aquaman said.

"I agree, and with Green Lantern still away to do research and hold counsel with the Nova Corps and other Green Lanterns from all the galaxy about anything on the Imperium of Man, it is concerning. So, if there is no other way - you have to do it, Martian." Wonder Woman added her piece as everyone became quiet as they considered their options.

"How about I have a word with them?"

They all turned and looked to the voice that spoke up, and their eyes landed on Oliver Queen - the Green Arrow - as he took a step forward and presented his reason and ways to get them to open their tightly shut lips.
