"So where are we headed?" Oracle asked.

"Let's just say we have multiple stops." Dick answered, "I've got several meetings with some people."

"Who?"

Dick smiled, "you'll see."

They stopped and parked in front of a club in Star City.

"Verdant..." Barbara rose an eyebrow, "may I remind you that dancing in a wheelchair is a bit more complicated than you might've thought..."

Dick only laughed as he led her inside, "I know that, Babs."

They walked through the doors past drunk people, dancers, kissing couples, and underage teens. Dick and Barbara finally made their way to the bar and found seats across from a young teenage-looking boy.

"Dick!" Barbara whispered, "do you know him?!"

"Shh... Just watch." Dick shushed her as he sat across from the boy, and Barbara parked her wheelchair next to him. The boy only looked up and scanned the two of them. Dick got out some sort of piece of paper and slid it across the table in front of him, "it's us."

The boy read the paper carefully, smiled, and held out his hand to Dick, "nice to finally meet you."

Barbara stared at him, back at Dick, then back at the boy.

"Nightwing, leader of the team. This is my girlfriend, tech support, and right-hand gal, Oracle." Dick introduced as Barbara stared back at Dick.

"Nice to meet you." The teen nodded towards Barbara.

"And you are..."

"Oh, I'm sorry." The teen smiled mildly, "Tom Bronson. Tomcat."

"How old are you?"

"Seventeen."

Barbara rose an eyebrow, "underage drinking, are you?"

"Nah. Drinking's for douches."

"That's something we're looking for in new recruits." Dick nodded.

Barbara turned to Dick in surprise, "'New recruits'?! Is this what this whole road trip is for?!"

"Yeah. We'll be making several other stops as well. Anyways, Tom, what's your relation to the League, and what are your abilities?"

"My pops is Wildcat. He's the one that helped me get my own powers. Only my powers work slightly different. When I get angry, then that's my go-to persona."

"So you can turn into a cat?"

"Yep. It's in my blood." Tom patted his chest, "so I'm in?"

"It's really possible." Dick nodded, "with your attitude and abilities, you could be a huge help. We'll definitely consider you."

"Thanks." Tom nodded as he stood up, shook Dick's hand, picked up the piece of paper, and headed out.
