A soft hum and a burst of light and sound, then there was a
displacement of air as three figures appeared in the teleport tubes. The
Martian Manhunter steped out first, then Green Lantern, while the Flash
zipped around the room at high speed.
"Wowthisissoneat!CouldIgoonaheadpleaseandtakealookaround,please,please?Iwont
touchanythingIswear.." Flash turned to ask J'onn excitedly.
"Slow down," Green Lantern grinned at her friend. The green
haired woman turned to the Manhunter, "Sorry, she sometimes forgets she
operates a few speeds faster than everybody else."
"Sorry," Flash's blush was visible even underneath her cowl.
'She reminds me of Wally West, back when I first met him,' J'onn
thought. "It's all right," he smiled, "and I caught the majority of what
you said. Go on ahead to the meeting room, but be careful."
"Right," Flash waved and was gone, leaving traces of lightning
hanging in the air.
"It's been a long time sir," Green Lantern said as the walked
down the corridor together. "I'm not sure if you remember me," she used
her ring to remove her mask, "but I'm Kyla Scott."
"Of course I remember," J'onn smiled, "you, A-ko and the others
back when we in the JLA would take you all for summer camp."
"That, and to train us in our powers," Kyla agreed.
Cleaning up the monitor room, D-ko paused as an odd rumble could
be heard. "EEP!" the blonde squeaked as a object whizzed on by her.
"Excuse me." the red blur shouted back before disapearing.
"Oracle!" D-ko cried, "What's going on?"
In another part of the Watchtower there was a flicker in the
hallway and the Oracle hologram appeared in front of them. "I've just
been told there's a super speed object moving around the Watchtower,"
she smiled, "I take it that's Flash?"
"Indeed," J'onn nodded to her, "and I'd like to introduce you to
Ms. Kyla Scott, Earth's latest Green Lantern."
"Nice to meet you," Kyla squeeked nervously. 'She's gorgeous,'
the woman thought as she looked the redhead over, 'too bad she's a
hologram.'
"Nice to meet you too," Oracle smiled. She turned to J'onn,
"I've heard back from Kestrel, Supergirl and Steel, they should be here
momentarily."
Not long before in the city of Metropolis the three of them
exited the elevator into the Lexcorp tower's lobby as Lena Luthor waved
both A-ko and B-ko on ahead of her. The tall redhead in the business
suit said with a smile, "I'm glad you came by to visit."
"So am I," B-ko admitted. A bit more quietly, "Maybe we could do
it again sometime."
"I'd be glad to," Lena smiled. She smiled slightly as she looked
over at A-ko, "We'll try not to lapse so much into techno-babble next
time."
A blushing A-ko chuckled softly, "Heh, I got some good food and
a nap." She shrugged, "The trip was a success to me."
"So speaks the walking appetite," B-ko chuckled. She hesitated,
then stepped forward to give her mother a hug, "See you later."
"Soon," Lena hugged her back a bit akwardly.
Both young women walked out the front doors and onto the street
before they disappeared from Lena's line of sight. She stood there a
moment, lost in her thoughts until her assistant literally popped up
from nowhere.
"How did it go?" Jessica Olsen asked cheerfully.
"Pretty good," Lena admitted as Jessica passed over a personal
organizer. "She's going to come over and see me again, at least."
"That's not bad at all," Jessica and Lena walked over to the
elevator together, "have you come out to her yet?"
"I'm not quite ready to admit to my daughter that her Dad used
my sexuality to blackmail me to stay away from her," Lena explained
dryly.
"Well, considering how close she and A-ko seem to be, she'd
probably understand," Jessica offered cheerfully.
"Let's hope," Lena murmured softly.
Back up on the Watchtower A-ko and B-ko stepped out of the
teleporter together. They stopped when they heard it start up again, and
Kestrel stepped off the platform beside them.
"How did seeing your mother go?" Kestrel asked, pausing while
both A- ko and B-ko changed into their costumes.
"Pretty well," B-ko admitted as she locked own the final semets
of her Steel armor.
Kestrel gave her a gentle smile, "I'm glad."
"And they're so alike it's almost scary," A-ko added as she
pulled her 'S' logo T-shirt on, "the tech-talk was so thick you could
have cut it with a knife."
"I'm planning on going down to see her again," B-ko said as she
and the others set off down the hallway. Looking over at Kestrel, "Would
you like to come along next time?"
"I'd be honored," Kestrel pushed back her cowl with a smile.
"Are you doing anything after we get the meeting finished?" Helena Wayne
asked.
"Some lab work is all," B-ko looked over at the dark haired
young woman curiously.
"Once your done would you like to go out?" Helena offered. She
smiled slightly, "I still haven't had a chance to show you arround
Gotham yet."
"I'd like that," B-ko smiled back.
As they neared the meeting room A-ko's enhanced hearing picked
up the two new voices. "Sounds like GL and Flash are already here," she
warned them.
Helena pulled her cowl back up smoothly, as B-ko activated her
visor, darkening it slightly to obscure her face. "Let's go," B-ko
nodded.
A-ko lead the way inside the room, smiling happily as she
recognized the Green Lantern immediately, "Hi, Kyla!"
"A-ko," the Flash hit her with a flying hug, "it's good to see
you again!" She pulled back her hood, "It's me, Iris!"
Kyla, Iris and A-ko were exchganging happy greetings as B-ko
looked at the three of them oddly, "You all know each other?"
"We all used to meet over the summer holidays," A-ko grinned at
her, "the kids of the JLA. Our parents helped train us while we played
together."
"Did you meet Kestrel back then too?" B-ko asked softly.
Kestrel shook her head, "Grandpa never got involved in that
stuff much, other than his duties as A-ko's godfather."
Strangely, B-ko felt relieved at hearing that.
"If you're done with the hellos," J'onn smiled, "I'd like to get
back to the reason we invited the two of you up here: to invite you into
joining the Justice League."
"Iris would be a good member," Kyla smiled, "but I think I'm a
little too green at this, if you'll pardon the bad pun."
"Don't put yourself down," Iris spoke up firmly, "they wouldn't
have chosen you if you couldn't handle the job."
"Even when I knew you before you became a Green Lantern," A-ko
said, "you used Alan Scott's ring expertly. Trust me, you can do the
job."
Kestrel held up her hand, "I'm not going to push you into
joining us. I didn't choose to put this costume on until I was sure I
was ready." Her voice acquired a certain intensity, "But once we put
these costumes on, they carry a responsibility to help the greatest
number of people as possible."
Kyla was nodding thoughtfully, "I guess once I put this suit on
I accepted the responsibility." She smiled slightly, "All right, I'm
in."
"Then so am I," Iris beamed,
