Maddie sat on her balcony, a headache settling. She was tired, the Wayne's, Stark's and Queen's have went home already. Punz, Purpled, Tubbo and Ranboo are asleep, Tommy hasn't been seen since Tubbo saw Tommy go outside.

"Dream? Could you let me in?" Tommy asked from below the balcony, at the front door.

"Yea, sure." Dream sighed, leaving the balcony, out of her room and downstairs. She opened the door and let Tommy in.

Giving him a plate of food incase he was hungry and letting know where his room was incase he forgot where it was.

She then went to bed.

-----------------------------------------------

The next morning she woke up to find Punz in her kitchen trying to make breakfast, failing horribly, with Purpled, Tommy, Tubbo and Ranboo complaining about hunger.

"Punz, get out from my kitchen." Maddie said, rolling her sleeves up, getting a sharp nod from Punz as he quickly made his way into the lounge.

Maddie made breakfast and let the guests eat and get out. She had a JL meeting today.

-----------------------------------------------

Maddie walked into the Watch Tower after her name and code was called out into the Tower. "Hey Mare! How's your day been?" Flash asked when Maddie walked in. Maddie's frown deepened a smidge, but she made a so-so gesture.

"Oh? What happened?" He asked.

Flash just so happened to be one of the closest people to Maddie, bar Batman and Green Arrow. So, Maddie didn't feel overall disgust, disgust that she normally felt, at that fact that she had to share information.

"As you know, I had a period of time when I was severely affected by my time in the Lazarus Pit and I did some drastic things on the island I live on." Maddie paused and Flash nodded at the mention of the dark time in Maddie's life.

"As you know, a few weeks ago I found out that the main point of my frustration, the main person I took my anger out on, is my kid." Maddie paused again, her frown deepening at the fact and Flash's face forming a frown of his own.

"Recently a friend of mine, made me be my son and his friends therapists." Flash grimaced. "They ended up staying the night, I've had a pounding headache since." Maddie mumbled. "Oh, I'm sorry Mare. Maybe you should have told Batman that you couldn't make it."

"No. He was there last night when they were. We spoke about what happened and what the next steps would be. A much needed conversation, but a much despised conversation." Maddie said, walking into the kitchen, followed by Flash, finding Green Lantern and Superman in the kitchen, Supes was reading a news paper from Metropolis, Lantern was drinking coffee.

"Hey Spooky 2.0. What's up, you look down?" Lantern asked, Superman left, going to the conference room. "Hello Lantern, not having my best few days." Yes. Maddie was more close to Lantern and Flash, who Batman himself is not, even with the bat symbol that dawned her vigilante uniform.

"Oh. Hope you're gonna be okay, Marie, tell me about it later?" Lantern asked, receiving a nod from Maddie.

"The meeting will start soon. Let's go into the conference room. Supes, Bats and Wonder is most likely there."

Flash and Lantern followed with a nod.

Walking into the conference room, they sat down. "Good morning, glad everyone could make it, today. We just need some updates from your areas, alerts of anything suspicious." Superman said.

Everyone nodded, they sat there for a few minutes. When they were done, they left the conference room. "Mare, Batgirl would like to visit you. She is a bit shaken, she will be there a few minutes after you get home." Bats said, walking passed Maddie, Lantern and Flash.

Maddie nodded, she would talk to Carrie about whatever had gotten her so shaken.

"So what's the problem Marie?" Lantern asked. "She has to stay in her house with her son and his friends because her friend brought them to her for therapy. She was in her own safe place for hours, with kids who don't consider her a safe person."

"Oh, I apologize, Marie. Want to get a drink?" Lantern asked.

"I could, but I have get some wood today, I was getting some yesterday, I'm thinking a summer house. It will obviously also have a cave, it will have to have a zeta, because family have been just walking into my house whenever they want. I also wanted a Young Justice base on the island, because I feel it'd be nice to have the kids close and then they can visit when ever they want."

"You've got a lot of ideas. You'll have to speak to Spooky about the base idea for YJ. Maybe we can visit when you get the Summer house sorted out. Or we can help put the tech in." Lantern suggested, the three sat down in, or on, individual places in the kitchen.

"Sure, but I'll probably be done in three months." Maddie said, grabbing a pear from a fruit basket. "You think those 'members' of your island will be shocked that you, a 'retired' terrorist knows and hangs out with heroes with the heroes knowing of your crimes." Flash asked. "I actually don't know. We'll see, one day. Not today. When you guys get to learn my identity I will allow it. If you don't know my identity you can't be around too long because this mask is uncomfortable and I will not wear an uncomfortable mask for hours in my own house."

Lantern and Flash nodded.

"Well. Bye boys. I've got some materials to collect."
