"Computer secure the room." Batman ordered.

Secured.

"I'll cut to it. Do we believe there's a mole within the Team?" He asked.

"I am convinced there is none." I said walking forward. "When Sportsmaster claimed he had an inside source," I bent my arm, clenching my hand into a fist. "He was merely sowing dissent."

Robin looked over his shoulder at me from his place on a chair. "His intel could easily have come by comparing notes with the other villains working for the Injustice League." He placed air quotes around the last two words.

"And think about it." He crossed his legs and placed his hands behind his head. "If anyone on the Team was working with those creepoids..."

"He or she would have betrayed us during our fight against them." I spoke, looking at Roy.

"I'm not convinced. Sure, you two and Kid Flash are above suspicion, but I know Artemis isn't shooting straight. For starters, she's not Green Arrow's niece."

My eyes widened slightly in shock. "What?"

"Well, yeah. In fact, she's related to-" Robin was interrupted by his mentor.

"Enough. Artemis's relations may indeed make her suspect, but she's still entitled to a secret identity." Batman said, before looking at Roy. "I'm more concerned about Superboy. We still know very little about what Cadmus programmed into their weapon. Connor could be the mole and not know it."

Red Tornado looked at the ground after he said that.

"And what about Miss Martain? She is Manhunter's niece. But he told Black canary he has a few hundred nieces and nephews. And the first time he met M'gann was five months ago when she stowed away on his last trip from Mars to Earth."

"This changes nothing."

"What about Percy?" Roy asked, forcing me to draw a deep breath. "Sure she wasn't on the Team when Sportsmaster said there was a mole but that could just be a cover to keep us from suspecting her."

"She has been removed from her duties." Batman said.

"Something that I still strongly disagree with. My- My friend, I would trust Percy with my life. Something that I have done on numerous occasions."

"All the more reason for her to be the perfect mole."

I sighed and crossed my arms. "I have fought side by side with these people. None are traitors."

Robin slumped in his seat. "So, what else are we going to talk about? We have to have something to show so the rest of the Team doesn't think something's up."

I pressed my lips together. "All of the Team's parents know of what we do. Perhaps we could have a cookout on the beach that our parents could attend?"

"The risks created by doing that-"

"We could pass it off as a bunch of friends getting together, no big deal." Robin grinned. "Agent A could come with me, keeps my secret identity intact."

Batman sighed. "I'll try to convince Superman to attend for Connor. I'll leave it to you to inform the others."

Later

"Kaldur!" Mother rushed forward and hugged me.

I chuckled and returned the embrace. "It has not been that long since I last saw you Mother."

"Sha'lain'a, do not embarrass the boy in front of his friends." Father gently pried her off of me.

"Where is Percy?" Mother asked looking at the group.
