Chapter 54
"Why are we here at the Island instead of the Hall of Justice?" Robin asked the Leaguers, since due to the situation, the Justice League had decided to take the team to Supergirl's secret sanctuary instead of the League's public base. Which made Supergirl think that the League needed a more secretive base that would be harder for people to break into.
"Because this place is more secure than the Hall of Justice." Batman explained as the Justice League finished discussing what the team had told them about their mission.
"And considering what you told us, this is something that requires more discretion." Supergirl said, though Powergirl did notice something.
"What's with the new suit?" Powergirl asked her mentor, since Supergirl was now wearing a different suit from the one she'd worn since her debut. This new suit, while the base looked similar to her old suit, now had a few differences. For starters, the S symbol of Supergirl's chest now had a yellow background, which made it better resemble Superman's S, the red outline of her glyph actually covered her shoulders and gave her a collar. Her wrists now had intricate dark red wristbands that went up her mid lower arms before descending into a v form. Her red boots looked a bit sturdier and went up to over her knees, though there were holes exposing her blue pants at the top of her boots and her red cape now went all the way down to her feet and she'd even added another house of El crest to the back of her cape, though this one was completely gold.
"I felt like it was time for an upgrade, especially since my old suit was damaged during the Cadmus attack. Plus, this one is made from actual Kryptonian technology from the Island instead of human tech my original suit was made out of, since I made it before I got this Island. But now, let's get back on topic. It sounds like your mission was even more of a success than we expected it to be, since not only did you save Superboy, but you also saved a Martian and a metahuman that Cadmus was holding captive. Not to mention the fact that you liberated all the other genomorphs that Cadmus was holding prisoner and got us the information we needed to expose them once and for all. Well done." Supergirl said.
"Where are Superboy, M'gann and Firestorm?" Powergirl asked.
"Being scanned in the medical bay as a precaution." Superman said.
"I still can't believe that we actually managed to pull that off." Spoiler admitted.
"And yet you did, proving each of you are ready to take the next step in your journeys as heroes. This mission was actually meant to serve as a test run to see if you guys could learn to function as a team and function without our oversight and you passed. Which is why this team is not going to be a one time thing." Supergirl said, surprising them, but they were all happy.
"Wait, we get to work together more?" Lightning asked, eager to be able to work with more people her own age, since she was the youngest member of her dad's team.
"Yes, but let's be clear. You'll still primarily be operating as our respective proteges, but together you'll serve as the Justice League's covert ops teams, for operations that the Justice League can't operate in without causing an incident. A team that can operate from the shadows." Supergirl said.
"So more missions like this one. Let me guess, it's training to prepare us for the day we're ready to join the Justice League." Powergirl said and Wonder Woman nodded.
"Exactly. You've proven you have the skills to be heroes, but you need to learn how to be part of a team." Wonder Woman said.
"What'll happen to Superboy, M'gann and Firestorm?" Wonder Girl now asked.
"Well I've already arranged for my parents to take Superboy in once he's cleared medical, since I think that they can take care of him the same way they did me." Superman said, since Jonathan and Martha Kent were thrilled when Clark had talked to them about taking the clone in after Jeremiah had told him about him, since while Superman wanted to be a mentor to his clone, he felt like he'd see him more as a brother than a son, just like how Supergirl saw Powergirl as her little sister.
"And we've identified Firestorm as one Jefferson Jackson, who's mother lives in Central City, so once he's cleared, we'll send him back there and have Flash keep an eye on him." Batman said.
"Are they going to join our team?" Lightning asked.
"That's up to them." Supergirl said.
"What about M'gann?" Powergirl asked as all eyes turned to the Martian Manhunter, since as the only martian in the room, not to mention the fact that he was apparently M'gann's uncle, he had final say on what happens to her.
"I mind melded with M'gann while we were on our way here. I know her whole life story and I've not only confirmed that she's my niece, but that her intentions are sincere. And while it helps that she's only half white martian, and that her green martian comes from my sister J'ann M'orzz, since her husband M'att was one of the only white martians who wasn't a monster. So I'll take custody of her and if she wants, she can train as my protege alongside Powergirl and Wonder Girl." Martian Manhunter said and Supergirl smiled.
"Not to mention it'll help you develop a life outside of your job and the League." Supergirl said, right as all three of the people they were talking about walking in.
"You've all been cleared from medical?" Supergirl asked.
"Yes and thanks to Superboy's hearing, we heard everything you said." M'gann said.
"And how do you feel about that?" Superman asked as Superboy walked up to him.
"Would you still be in my life?" Superboy asked as Superman placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Of course, little brother. But I think that living in Smallville will help you learn to not only control your powers, but also figure out who you are beyond them. I'll serve as your mentor and more importantly, your brother." Superman assured him.
"Okay." Superboy said, happy that Superman wasn't ignoring him.
"What about the rest of you?" Supergirl asked.
"I want to join your team, as long as I can still live my life despite it." Firestorm said.
"Perfect. That's another reason we're forming this team. To help you all get better at balancing your personal lives with your superhero lives. Regardless of how long you've been doing it." Supergirl said.
"And you?" J'onn asked his niece, who simply caused her outfit to shift to one that resembled her uncle's suit.
"Call me Miss Martian." M'gann said.
"We'll enroll you in at National City High with Powergirl and Wonder Girl, but you'll need a human form like the one your uncle uses." Supergirl said as M'gann shifted to the image of a young black teenage girl.
"How does Megan Morse look?" M'gann asked and Supergirl chuckled.
"Perfect. Now we just need a human name for Superboy. I'm assuming he'll take on the last name Kent." Kara asked her cousin.
"If that's what he wants." Superman said.
"How about Connor for his first name?" M'gann suggested.
"Connor Kent. I like it." Connor said with a smile.
"And your Kryptonian name will be Kon-El. I'll take you to my Fortress of Solitude after you've gotten settled in with my parents, or I guess, our parents now, so you can begin learning about your kryptonian heritage." Superman said and Superboy nodded.
"And between J'onn and Diana, we have enough government contacts to make up background stories for both Connor and Megan." Supergirl said as they finished their briefing the League began to go their separate ways.
