"I don't think I can fight her."
"It's okay Billy, we will," Artemis says.
"I will take Billy up to the apartment and try to convince Garfield to help us, I'm not sure if he will since Wonder Girl is now the leader of the Outsiders," Dick says.
"And unfortunately they are down too," Artemis says turning on the TV.
"You guys have to go, in the wrong hands the Power of Zeus can be dangerous," Billy says.
"I will meet you after I change," Artemis says to Connor.
"Superboy, D-09," the Zeta-Tube reads as Connor goes through it.
"Let's go," Dick says to Billy and Artemis.
The three of them take the elevator to the apartment where Garfield is watching the news report.
"Freda, open Tigress closet," Dick says.
It takes a second, but a wall slides up revealing a suit and weapons.
"Cool," Billy says.
"How many secret rooms do you have in the apartment?" Artemis asks.
"Enough, you better suit up," Dick says.
Artemis nods, grabs her suit, and goes into her room to change.
"Hey Gar, we need to talk," Dick walks over.
"If you're going to ask if I'm willing to go into the field for this fight, the answer is yes," Garfield stands up.
"Are you sure? You have to be here completely," Dick says.
"Positive, Dinah says I can go out into the field when ready and even though I'm not ready I don't want people to confuse Black Mary with Captain Marvel," Garfield says putting his collar on.
"What exactly is that for?" Billy asks.
"When he is an animal he can't speak so this collar connects to his thoughts and speaks for him," Dick says.
"Good idea," Billy says.
"Freda, open my bat closet," Dick says.
A closet on the other side reveals itself.
"Cool," Billy says as Dick walks over and grabs his suit.
"Don't touch anything," Dick says directing the statement at Billy.
"Hey, I'm not ten anymore," Billy protests.
"Age doesn't mean maturity," Tigress comes out.
"You and Garfield go, I will be there in a second," Dick says going to his room.
"Okay," Tigress says walking over to her closet to take some weapons.
Billy starts walking over to the bat closet.
"Freda, secure bat closet," Artemis says.
"Hey!" Billy says as five lasers cross the bat closet.
"I told you, age doesn't mean maturity, Freda close and lock Tigress closet," Tigress says.
The closet holding her weapons closes.
"Let's go Garfield," Tigress says heading over to the Zeta-Tube.
"Tigress, B-07, Beast-Boy, D-01," the Zeta-Tube calls as they walk through it.
Billy sits down and Wingman walks over to him and lays on his lap.
"Looks like he can sense your worry," Nightwing says coming out.
"What do you mean worry?"
"Every emotion has a specific scent, a scent so low that only a dog can smell it. Wingman is Garfield's dog, he isn't specially trained for it but it seems he has the natural ability to sense when someone needs emotional support," Nightwing says.
"So, what am I supposed to do?" Billy asks.
"Pet him," Nightwing says.
Billy starts petting the corgi and smiles.
"Good, I better get to that fight," Nightwing says.
"Nightwing, B-01," the Zeta-Tube reads as he walks into the tunnel.
Billy goes back to watching the news report.
