Chapter 264: Bait Part 7

The Junior Justice League was now assembled in what could be called a briefing room, a place where normally the senior in charge would dispatch them on missions when necessary. Though they hadn't gotten much chance to use it, especially since the incident with Kid Flash

At this time, everyone was gathered in front of the large monitor where Martian Manhunter could be seen next to Black Canary, both wearing worrisome expressions. Martian Manhunter was the first to speak, as he said, "If what Green Arrow said is true, then this could be bigger than we thought. Despite the League's best efforts, we just can't seem to locate the trafficking depots across the world, as some governments have even taken the liberty to assist such organizations."

Black Canary then stepped forward with crossed arms and agreed with Martian Manhunter's remark, "Exactly, and until the meta-human trafficking situation is dealt with, along with the H.S group activity, the smaller organizations will continue to kidnap and traffic superhumans." 

Hearing what they had to say, Robin was quick to voice his thoughts, "All the more reason to send us to check it out. We can't ignore it just because the senior league is busy. If we miss this chance, there's no telling what will happen to the children and people being trafficked."

Robin's point made sense, given the circumstances, but this was only the case because he had urged Megan not to mention the aspect concerning the being who had killed Kid Flash and Green Lantern. 

However, not wanting to risk the lives of the others, Aqualad took it upon himself to reveal this very important piece of information, "There's one more thing. Green Arrow specifically said that Kid Flash's and Green Lantern's killer may be there." Immediately this was said, both Martian Manhunter and Black Canary switched from worried expressions to extremely concerned ones, with Black Canary exuding fury before furrowing her brows in anger, "And you want us to send you? Absolutely not! We know close to nothing about that person, and there is no telling just what else they're capable of. It's far too risky."

"We can't send you. We'll just have to relay this information to Batman and Superman and have the entire league quickly make their way there." Martian Manhunter further added

Robin though was unwilling to stand down. He gave a short, narrowed gaze toward Aqualad before directing his attention to the monitor, specifically to Black Canary, "I'm not saying we'll engage, but we need to be there to see just what it is they're planning. With Megan's ship, we can be there in less than an hour. By the time the entire league gets there, who's to say he won't disappear again?"

"Robin, that's enough," Black Canary sternly warned, not even trying to see things his way because, in her mind, no matter which way she saw it, it was just far too dangerous to send the kids on this particular mission. 

But before anyone else could say anything else, the screen flickered, and the image was replaced by that of Batman, who, without introduction, just began to speak, "I've heard everything. Black Canary is right; it's too dangerous for you to engage this. Superman and The Flash are the fastest and will be able to get there in minutes. The rest of you will go, but only for additional support. Even then, only once Superman and The Flash confirm the threat level." Just as quickly as his image had come, it disappeared, leaving Robin, Megan, and the others a bit anxious.

Black Canary still looked like she wasn't in support of the decision, but she simply sighed and rested her hand on her hip before speaking strictly, "Well, you heard him. So get on with it. And Robin, don't do anything stupid. You won't gain anything by getting yourself or your friends killed." As Canary said this, she stepped out of view, leaving only Martian Manhunter, who focused on Megan and stated, "Be sure to keep communications up. I will watch from the skies using satellites."

"Affirmative, Uncle J'onn," Megan confirmed before communications cut.

Aqualad then turned to Robin and placed his hand on his shoulder, stating, "We will get justice for Kid Flash and Green Lantern, you can be sure of that. But there's no need for us to go into this blindly. We need you at your best, Robin." 

 Robin let out an audible sigh and nodded his head slightly, "All right, let's go."
