"The question isn't whether our world's finest are the galaxy's most wanted. It's not whether they've been using secret, undercover covert operatives against targets of their own choosing. No, it's not even whether these interstellar hoodlums have their own watchtower in orbit over our planet! No, old G. Gordon proved all that a week ago, didn't he? So the question is this. How long are you going to stand for this and do nothing to check these lawless heroes? Well, I'll just wait here for you to make up your mind. Take your time. If you're not in a hurry why should I be?"

Spark scoffed loudly, crossing her arms. "Fuck this guy, I can't believe Dylan likes this dude."

"Meanwhile, Earth's true benefactors, The Reach have been working openly and without fanfare for the betterment of all mankind. Exhibit A, Lexcorp Farms where the Reach has partnered with noted philanthropist, Lex Luthor to increase food production. Lexcorp and the Reach are even allowing public tours. Just openness and an end to world hunger. Now, why didn't the Justice League think of that."

Nightwing paused the video and turned to his team. "Obviously, any partnership between The Reach and Lex Luthor is bad news. So Alpha Squad is going undercover to recon Lexcorp Farms. Robin, you'll be running Alpha."

"Me?" Robin said surprise. "Run Alpha? Uh, right. Who's on the squad?"

"Spark, Blue Beetle--" Nightwing started

"Whoa, whoa, whoa." Blue Beetle cut him off. " Should not be in the field, ese. What if the Scarab goes all Reach Apocalypse on us?"

"Your scrab has had multiple opportunities to betray us. It hasn't" Nightwing told him walking up to the junior member, and places his hand on his shoulder. "And right now it's connection to the Reach may be our best shot at identifying what they're up to."

Impulse zoomed right in between Nightwing and Blue Beetle. "Well if Blue's going I'm going."

"I assumed as much." Nightwing smiled at the speedster. "And last but not least, Arsenal," Nightwing said, and Arsenal walked out of the shadows, revealing himself.

"Is there a reason why you were hiding in the shadows like that?" Spirit questioned, the original Roy Harper. "There's no need to make it look like a dramatic entrance, we all need that you were there."

"You'll have to travel lighter for your first mission." Nightwing told him, " Nothing that won't fit under civilian clothes. Any questions?"

"Just one." Arsenal crossed his arms. " Why are we meeting in this dump?"

"I actually was about to ask the same question." Spark agreed, raising her hand slightly.

"I ask that question every day that we're here," Spirit muttered crossing her arms.

"With the Cave and the Hall of Justice destroyed we don't have many other options," Nightwing told him.

"Except the Watchtower." Arsenal retorts. "It's national news now. You can't pretend it doesn't exist."

"Only Justice Leaguers and senior members of the team are authorized for the Watchtower," Nightwing said.

"Neither category you are in," Spirit adds.

"Good to know where we stand." Arsenal narrowed his eyes at them.

"Oh hell no," Spirit shook her head. "There is no way, I'm going to deal with this again. Listen here, kid. Get over it, you have to earn the respect you have to earn trust, you have to earn everything, it's not just going to be given to you, because you want it. But I'm warning you here and now if you're going to be a baby about what the Justice League does and doesn't involve you in. Don't talk to me, because I will--"
