Mount Justice; November 22nd, 09:42 EST

"Robin, Wanda, Kid Flash, Miss Martian, and Superboy, report for mission briefing," Batman called through the intercom.

Wanda stood from her bed, offering a hand to Robin who was sitting on the floor. He took it as she pulled him up. She placed her guitar on its stand before the two walked out of her room making their way to the main part of the cave. "What do think the mission is gonna be?" She asked curiously.

"Something exciting if he's sending you," he replied with a smirk. In response she lightly nudged him with her elbow. "Maybe it's covert recon mission. We haven't had one of those in a while." As they got to where the screens were displayed they both went serious. It wasn't long before the others came and as soon as they did Batman turned to the five of them, getting started right away.

"Rumman Harjavti is the democratically elected president of Quarac. Harjavti has been praised as a fair, wise leader; a humanitarian."

"Sure..." Wally murmured to Robin. "Any friend of Bruce Wayne's."

The Dark Knight continued. "But five days ago," another screen popped up next to the one of Quarac. "Harjavti allied himself with the dictator of the neighboring nation of Bialya; Queen Bee."

"Hm, not a fan," Conner stated with his hands on his hips.

"Few are. But Harjavti suddenly backs Queen Bee's baseless claim that Quarac and Bialya were one nation in ancient times and has announced the country's will reunify in two days at a ceremony in Quarac." All of them looked to the screen that was playing the Quarac news. Wanda didn't know what it was but something about Harjavti seemed of to her.

KF spoke up once Queen Bee finished speaking. "And the Quaracies are okay with this?"

Another screen popped up with people protesting. "Hardly." Batman looked at it. "They're well aware of the brutality of Queen Bee's regine. Harjavti has censored the press, silenced all legitimate protesting, and invited all the Bialyian military into his country to enforce martial law."

"Someone has to be controlling Harjavti," Wanda stated.

Robin tilted his head slightly to the side. "Doesn't Queen Bee have the power to control most men?"

"And some women. But not long distance and we have confrontation she hasn't left Bialya. Something else is at work here. Find out what." The Boy Wonder kept his gaze at the ground but went to his mentor as soon as he called his name. "Robin, you're team leader." He was taken aback as his eyes widened.

"Promotion, sweet," Wally put his hand up, waiting for his to best friend to give him a high five.

Megan and Conner looked at him while Wanda seemed unsure. "Me? W-What about Aqualad?" He walked up to Batman who looked back at him.

"Busy helping Aqualad," he was quick to answer. "You're the next logical choice."

"Great," was all he said.

It'll be fine, Dick. You'll be fine.

You don't know that, Wanda. What if i have to make a call that not only puts you but the others in danger as well? I wouldn't be able to live with myself if-

Nothing is gonna happen to me.

Quarac; November 22, 23:56 UTC+2

The bioship flew over a field full of wildlife as it was on its way to their coordinates. Wanda glanced over to Robin who was looking down at his hologlove. He had a determined look on his face but she could see right through it. "We're right above the Quaracian Bialyian boarder." The Boy Wonder put his screen away, waiting until they were finally at their destination.
