Scene starts in the entrance area of the Outlaws hideout.
*Valkyrie falls to her knees, Starfire catches her arm.*
[Jason] Are you ok?
*Valkyrie nods.*
[Valkyrie] Just drained. It took more then I thought.
*Starfire helps Valkyrie up, helping her lean on her staff.*
[Arsenal] G-d I’m glad to be back. One more second in the watch tower and Ollie would of decided to lecture me.
[Doc] Locating Green Arrow. I believe him to be in Star City. Oliver Queen is currently at a press release at Queen Consolidate.
*Doc’s screen lights up to show a press conference. Oliver queen is talking behind a podium. On the stage sitting down is Lucius Fox, Dinah Lance, Ray Palmer and the Mayor of Star City.*
[Talon] There you go Arsenal. Your mentor is completely unaware of your drunken benders.
*Arsenal frowns.*
[Arsenal] At least I didn’t kill all of my mentors.
*Talon shrugs.*
[Talon] It solved my issues.
*Arsenal turns to everyone.*
[Arsenal] Am I gonna have to be the one to enlighten Talon that he’s psychotic murdering asshole?
*Raven smiles.*
[Raven] Aren’t most of us here psychotic murdering assholes.
[Valkyrie] I’ve never murdered anyone.
*Jason waves his finger no.*
[Jason] But you’ve attempted murder once. That counts.
*Starfire shakes her head no.*
[Starfire] Attempting to murder someone for righteous Justice doesn’t count.
*Talon cracks up laughing.*
[Talon] Righteous Justice. You crack me up Orange.
[Raven] Who did you attempt to murder?
*Valkyrie sighs.*
[Valkyrie] The Joker.
*Talon pats her on back.*
[Talon] Maybe Orange is right. If there is righteous Justice. Killing him is gotta be it.
*Starfire and Arsenal nod.*
[Raven] Yea, but it’s also a damn stupid form of Justice.
[Jason] You sound like Batman.
[Raven] Not that I want to agree with him but if you get rid of the Joker he’ll probably just be replaced by someone even madder.
*Jason snarls.*
[Jason] So we take him out too.
*The door to the cave opens. Martian Manhunter, Batman and Damian Wayne walk through.*
[Damian Wayne] So what. You guys just keep killing every new Joker. When does that end?
*The Outlaws turn to them. All of their moods clearly down. Valkyrie immediately stands up straight again.*
[Jason] Don’t pretend you’re like Bruce. You’re Ra’as Ah Ghul’s grandson.
*Talon nodded.*
[Talon] I’ve seen you kill a man or two.
*Batman coughs.*
[Batman] Whether or not Robin has killed someone is not the concern on hand. Valkyrie has gone and acquired a lantern ring. She is not prepared to handle these powers.
[Mr. Martian] She needs to receive training before she can go on further missions with you guys.
[Valkyrie] I can handle this power enough to go after Ms. Martian.
[Batman] Growing up admiring superheroes doesn’t mean you can handle their power. You need to come back to the watch tower. Kyle Rayner has volunteered to look after you.
*Jason steps forward.*
[Jason] She goes nowhere Bruce.
*The rest of the Outlaws stepped froward.*
[Damian] You’ve already hurt her once Todd. Don’t make yourself her killer too.
[Talon] Awww. I think the boy developed his first crush.
[Starfire] I thought he liked Raven. Never, trusting Dick again.
*Arsenal turns to Starfire. *
[Arsenal] You are still talking to Dick! I can’t believe you Kori.
*Starfire goes to respond but Batman interrupts.*
[Batman] That is enough. You guys are acting like children. Valkyrie will return with us.
[Valkyrie] I’m sorry Batman, but I will not. This is something I need to figure out on my own.
[Martian Manhunter] I know you want to prove that you can be useful..
*Valkyrie cuts him off.*
[Valkyrie] Respectively, Martian Manhunter you are wrong. None of you were with me when I met the Indigo Tribe. It was different. I saw things that no other Indigo Lantern saw. It even made me blind. This is something I need to figure it out.
[Damian] This is exactly why you need to come with us. You are BLIND. You cannot fight.
*Valkyrie began to float slightly, a purple glow surrounding her. She taps her staff on the ground and a pulse of Indigo light spreads out. Martian Manhunter and Batman put there hands up, but the blast moves Damian back slightly. *
[Valkyrie] It is not the type of blindness you think it is.
[Batman] You will become a liability on their mission.
[Jason] Bruce. It is our decision wether or not to bring a liability along.
[Aresenal] Way to go. Calling your own team mate a liability.
[Starfire] You know that’s not what he meant.
[Talon] I’m sure it was what he was thinking…
[Raven] She is the only one who can deal with Miss Martian at the moment. Not even Martian Manhunter can handle his niece’s mental attacks.
[Damian] For all we know it was a fluke. An accident.
[Batman] It wasn’t a fluke.
[Raven] Again I hate to agree with you.
[Martian Manhunter] There must be another way of dealing with my niece.
[Jason] With Simon and whatever else Queen Bee cooked up, theres no way to deal with Miss Martian without her.
[Batman] You get one chance. If she loses control she immediately returns to the watchtower.
*Jason nods.*
[Batman] I mean it. If you don’t return her the League will be forced into action.
[Talon] I’m shaking in my new boots.
*Him and Arsenal high five. Starfire and Raven sigh.*
[Valkyrie] It’s a promise.
*Bruce nods and turns and walks away. *
[Martian Manhunter] Please save my niece.
*He too turns and walks away. Damian stays where he is.*
[Damian] I am warning you Todd, If anything happens, I will end you.
*Talon laughs.*
[Talon] Still the same little boy. Too afraid to let go of his emotional attachments.
[Bruce] Robin, it’s time to go.
*Damian turns and walks away.*
[Arsenal] Anyone up for burgers tonight?
[Jason] I could go for burgers.
[Talon] whose cooking?
*Arsenal walks over to the kitchen and picks up a delivery menu.*
[Arsenal] There’s this great place that delivers.
*Raven face palms. *
[Raven] Where are you delivering it too?
Arsenal smiled.
[Arsenal] Here of course. Doc remember that favor I asked of you.
*Doc’s screen turns back on.*
[Doc] Would you like me to initiate take out mode?
[Arsenal] Yes, please Doc.
[Doc] As you wish. Calling For Burgers now.
[Starfire] Roy, what did you do.
*Jason sighed.*
[Jason] He started a teenage party outside.
*Arsenal smiled.*
[Arsenal] It’s the perfect cover. Who else would have an outdoor party by an abandoned mine.
*Talon sighed.*
[Talon] No one. No one would have a party outside an abandoned mine.
[Starfire] Don’t listen to him Roy. I think it’s genius.
[Valkyerie] So whose actually going to pick up the burgers from the delivery guy.
[Doc] I am programmed to pick it up myself.
*Everyone laughed.*
[Raven] Now that’s laziness.
