Chapter 19: Karma time
Normal P.O.V:
Lots have happened in the past little while, we teamed up with the Justice League to take down ice palaces and found out that Megan copied her looks off of a TV show and get this she is bald! (A/N: Sorry writing the past two chapters was killing me because nothing that important in my opinion happened so I skipped them...)
Karma P.O.V:
"Our agenda is clear. What's at stake will not be underestimated," starts Aquaman.
"The decisions we make today will reverberate for years to come," adds Superman.
"And influence whether the world continues to put their trust in the Justice League," spoke Wonder Women.
"Please take you seats we have work to do," said Batman as I sat in my chair playing with a rub ix cube. What? These meetings can get boring okay? "Another expansion of the League could create another escalation of hostilities from out enemies. No one wants or needs another injustice League," addresses Martian Manhunter as I toss more popcorn into my mouth. "Point taken, the option to not vote any candidates remains, so I nominate Icon for League membership," starts Superman.
"Why? Because you suspect that he might be Kryptonian like you did Captain Marvel?" scoffs Green Arrow.
"You thought I was Kryptonian? Cool!" replies Captain Marvel like a child.
"Icon interests me also, as does his protege Rocket. We all know the League could use more female members," hints Superwomen and all the men in the room were like there are already too many and I just sat there stone-faced.
Normal P.O.V:
"Gobble gobble I love Thanksgiving," said Wally eating some cranberries but then got hit by a spoon like a mother would to a child. "Thanks for dinner Wally," scolds Megan and Zatanna finish seasoning the chicken.
"Aren't you eating with your family?" I ask not looking up from my phone and he speed off. I got off the coach as well. "Got to go," I say waving over my shoulder. I should be having dinner with Alfred, Bruce, Dick and Karma tonight.
Karma P.O.V:
"Seriously the Atom?" I yawn totally bored with this meeting.
"Well how useful can he be at that size?" questions Captain Marvel.
"It's the size that makes him useful," sighs Batman like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Absolutely but we could use more raw power and earth has a third Green Lantern, Guy Gardener-" Arrow was cut off by the two green lanterns. "No,"
"but we could,-"
"NO," they repeated themselves.
"If we're considering Blue Devil then I nominate Red Arrow. Roy has more experience and he's no kid anymore he's eighteen a legal adult," suggests Green Arrow.
"Red Arrow has been uncooperative and disrespectful. If we reward that behavior what message does that send to the rest of the team?" Aqualad asks but me being me I couldn't care less, but there is something off about Red Arrow.
"Give the kid a chance maybe being in the League will discipline him," I say in a laid back tone as I play Flappy Bird.
"No Red Arrow may be eighteen but the rest of the team is too young we're not conducting children into the League," spoke Superman as I shrug in defeat and look at Captain Marvel from the corner of my eye. "That seems bionic I have been one with Kid Flash and Aqualad. Both are ready," insists Docter Fate.
"What about Zatanna?" questions Wonder Women.
"Absolutely not!" protests Doctor Fate.
"That sounded almost protective Fate, at least we know that Zatara is in there somewhere," I say testily.
"Why is Doctor Fate a member? He forced Zatara to give himself up to you or he lose his daughter, not cool," said Captain Marvel. "Should such behavior be condoned?" questions Red Tornado.
"Zatara desires that Doctor Fate remains in the League," he declares.
"Oh please," starts Green Arrow.
"It is true Zatara's trust in Nabu is measured. He desires that the League keeps an eye on us," he admits.
"Plastic man," introduces Batman moving away from the conversation rather fast.
"I don't know he does have a criminal record," I say still playing Flappy Bird as Captain Marvel starts laughing.
"Sorry sorry the guy just cracks me up," he laughs and I actually look up from my phone.
"Maybe we should take about the elephant in the room. Should Captain Marvel really stay a member even though he is in fact, ten-years-old?" I question getting more popcorn.
"He does possess an adult body and the wisdom of Salamin," defends Red Tornado.
"Wisdom? That does not equal maturity," snarls Aquaman.
"Hey I'm sitting right here," he said.
"Then Billy maybe you should leave until we have hashed this out," said Canary.
"No Captain Marvel is a member and is entitled to participate until or unless he is voted out," states Batman.
"It's not about his age its the fact that he lied about it," said Wonder Women rather coldly.
"I didn't exactly lie about it, I just left the part out about being a kid," he tries to reason.
"A lie of a mission is still a lie. You kept an important secret from us. No one in the League knew the truth," points out Wonder Women. "I did," spoke Batman.
"Yep same here," I say throwing another piece of popcorn in the air and letting it fall into my mouth.
"I shouldn't be surprised since you put Robin into crime fighting at the ripe old age of nine," accuses Wonder Women.
"Robin needed to help bring the man who murdered his family to justice," explains Batman.
"Why? So he could turn out like you?" she asks rather heatedly.
"So that he wouldn't," answers Batman.
"And you leaving you niece with that witch! What were you thinking for all those years?" she asks and all attention was on me. "Just so you know I had no choice in the matter. The Fang family is too much for even me to take on. There are horrible consequences when a chosen one does not follow that path that they were meant to! How do you think her dad died? Why do you think my sister loathes me so much? I killed our parents because I didn't want to be a weapon. Being born as a chosen one is a curse!" I finish slamming my hands on the table.
"Well, it's decided we can't kick Karma out because if we do there will be hell to pay. That and if he goes back to the Fang's were screwed," jokes Flash but no one laughs and I sat down.
"Anyway Karma stop eating during the meeting and pay a bit more attention," commands Batman.
"Nope," I say stubbornly eating more popcorn as everyone sweat dropps at my actions.
"Anyway what about Scarlet Phoenix she is your niece and powerful at that," said Wonder Women.
"She is still so young and learning to control her powers, powers that it pains me to say are far powerful than my own. She is happy and didn't we just discuss that they needed to be at least eighteen?" I say ending the topic with a serious face for once.
"You seem to reach the consensus that eighteen years is the suitable minimal age to enter the League yet what of Miss Martian, though she is a teen on Mars she was born forty-eight earth years ago," explains Martian Manhunter.
"So what are the deciding factors chronology or biology, take Superboy,-" Red Tornado was cut off,
"Exactly he is less than a year old, does he have to wait for seventeen more to stand beside us?" asks Canary and the room went silent.
"No more ideas? Then our candidate for new or continued membership," starts Superman.
"We have debated origin, gender, size, experience, age, temperament, and background but what is the fundamental criteria for membership?" asks Batman.
"When all is said and done the question must be whom do we trust? Trust to fight beside us, trust to have our backs, trust to uphold the high standards and ideals of the Justice League?" questions Wonder Women.
"Time to vote," said Batman getting right down to visit. We finish up voting. "All those in favor in ratifying the votes?" ask Batman.
"I," agrees the whole League.
"All opposed?" he asks and the room fell silent.
