Going Blue

The Injustice League

I have been waiting to do these next two for a hot minute so enjoy!

Sparring with my teammates is really fun. Watching my teammates spar with each other while I sat on the sidelines? Much less fun. So while Kaldur and Dick sparred with each other I had grabbed my notebook and was putting the finishing touches on a dress I had been working on.

I looked up when I heard Conner and M'gann walk into the room with Wolf. Conner had decided to not go with my suggestion for a name and instead kept it basic.

"You know they're a couple right?" I heard Dick whisper to Kaldur. I closed my book and walked over to the two of them to join the conversation.

"I believe I knew before they did."

"I did know before they did."

Dick looked at me then glanced over my shoulder, prompting me to take a look myself. "Do we tell them?" He asked, referring to the last two of our Team, who were also the only members of our group that weren't aware of the relationship.

"It is not our place," Kaldur answered.

I decided to elaborate, "Artie won't believe it until she sees it and I think Wally is about the same. At least if the multiple ignored hints Conner and M'gann have been dropping almost constantly are any indication."

"Fair point," Dick said, right as they reached us.

"So if Zatara's our 'babysitter' of the week why's he still here?" Wally asked, pointing at Captain Marvel who was munching on a chocolate protein bar. "And why's he eating my snacks?!"

Before any of us could answer the Zeta-tube powered up.

Recognized: Batman 02

He wasn't even fully materialized yet when he began speaking, "computer. National news." A holoscreen appeared, showing the GBS channel, and the reporter Cat Grant covering what was happening in Metropolis.

"The initial attack was short lived, but Metropolis was only granted a short reprieve." The screen switched to show a set of vines demolishing a building before Superman appeared and began clearing civilians. The Hawks and John Stewart quickly joining him to fight off the creature. I glanced over at Conner to see him smiling slightly as if to say, 'you go Clark.' "And despite the intervention of Superman and the Justice League, there seems to be no end in sight."

"Should we get out there?"

"No. The League will soon have the situation under control. That's not why I'm here," Batman said, without taking a breath. "According to your intel, Sportsmaster supplied Cadmus's Blockbuster formula to Cobra."

"Who combined it with Bane's venom to create Cobra-Venom," Wally said.

"Which The Brain used to create his animal army."

"And upgrade wolf," Conner provided, while rubbing said animal's chin.

"Him and Sphere are the only good things to come from any of our missions yet," I said, already seeing the connections.

"The Brain also used inhibitor collars, like the ones at Belle Reve Penitentiary," M'gann finished.

"Batman," Artemis started, "is it possible that plant thing's on Cobra-Venom too?"

"I had Green Lantern run a spot analysis," he answered, waving his arm to bring up a keyboard, and with that a chemical scan. "The vine's cellulose does contain trace amounts of a Cobra-Venom variant."
