Summit

Santa Prisca
June 19, 00:00 ECT

Lights leading up to the larger cave flickered on, letting out a buzzing sound reminiscent of those office buildings at night. It was silent aside from the footsteps echoing of the jagged rock walls. I stood beside Kaldur and Tigress as we approached our destination. Opposite the dimly lit cave was the Reach with their soldiers in tow.

"Ambassador." Vandal Savage greeted in his husky voice.

A smile crept onto the Reach Ambassador's face. "Savage."

Black Beetle stepped forward to stand beside the ambassador. "As head of security for the Reach, I must insist, no masks be worn at the summit." He said to us.

"Simply because you insist is no guarantee." Blank Manta said in annoyance.

"Manta, if you wouldn't mind." Ra's al Ghul said. "After all, we are among friends." Manta grumble but took his mask off anyway. Deathstroke, Tigress and I followed suit, my mask disappearing at the touch of a button.

"We are so in over our heads." Tigress muttered to the both of us. Kaldur shh'ed her before we continued watching.

"Excellent. Then with formalities out of the way..."

"Let us begin." Vandal said, a sickening smile spreading across his scared face.

"And the rest of the Light? Won't they be joining us?" The ambassador asked, taking note of the missing members.

"Our more public members are occupied." Ra's al Ghul explained. "Conducting damage control to mitigate your recent defeats."

"And in any case, we are sufficient." Vandal said.

The Ambassador sighed, "Fine but the Reach has come with grievances against the Light. Please explain how the young Earth champions were allowed access to the Bialyan scarab temple under your control?"

Kaldur stepped forward at this. "If I may respond."

"No you may not." Black Bettle said in his deep gravely voice. "Manta, keep your whelp meat silent."

"Beetle, your insolence grows progressively less... charming." Manta said coming to Kaldur'ahm defense. Before it could escalate, Vandal Savage stepped in. "My friends, I think we can all agree that in recent days, no one has done more, sacrificed more, for both the Light and the Reach than Kaldur'ahm. That is why he was entrusted with security for this summit. And why he's entitled to a voice here."

"Of course. He may speak." The Ambassador said stopping Black Beetle from advancing. The red eyed Beetle scoffed but backed down at the order.

"Thank you, Ambassador." Kaldur said and started moving closer to the parties. "We acknowledge your concerns over the actions of my former team. But, you must acknowledge that the Light could not have known the significance of the temple's that ancient earth magic could overcome Reach technology to free Blue Beetle and Green Beetle from your thrall. And if the Reach had been more forthcoming about how long their scarab was sent to infiltrate with a beetle warrior, the Light would have made a connection and provided better security to the temple."

"I told you, I wanted to study how Blue Beetle scarab has crashed prior to putting it back on mode." The Reach scientist said. The Ambassador's face twisted into one of anger. "If you had followed my advice, we would have known about the temple and..." she stopped talking when the Ambassador shot her a look. "Apologies, I spoke out of turn."

"No my dear. You are correct to call your masters tactics into question." Manta said. "The Light has provided everything the Reavh required and you aliens have let it all slip away."
