Call to Arms
The headquarters of the YJLA

For a moment, all was quiet and dark in the headquarters of the YJLA.  Sophisticated monitoring equipment kept track of emergencies around the world and in near-space, all quietly humming away into the night.

The quiet was suddenly broken by a crackle of green light, briefly illuminating the entire meeting room in its verdant glow.  The glow subsided after a moment, coalescing into a single figure out a little blue man, the symbol of the Blue Lanterns glowing upon his chest.  His expression was far from unreadable; in fact, he looked rather worried, as though the weight of the universe was bearing down upon him.

There was little he liked about this.  He would have preferred to bring his Blue Lanterns into this, but without a Green to work with, their powers were limited.  And they could not work with the Green Lanterns on this.  Not until he had had time to persuade them that this course of action was the correct one.  They would act hastily.  And though they would not admit it, they would be acting from emotion.  Things rarely went well when his brothers acted upon their little understood emotions.

Instead, he reached out with the Green power that was still his birthright and rather unceremoniously brought each member of the Young Justice League to their headquarters.

The one Manhunter intercepts Corinna's charge, battering at her with its power baton.

The other two are taken by surprise by the force of the blast of the hose, slamming against the wall, before slowly advancing again.

She gets knocked to one knee. Then sweeps with her leg to knock the Manhunter to her level. That way she can strike it again and again.

Florian tries to crank the water on higher and keep it aimed at the robots, but they're obviously waterproof and were only caught off guard. He wasn't sure how he could get away now, or that he even would if he could. The robots were after him, not Wonder Girl. She'd already been knocked to one knee, even if she was taking care of that manhunter the other two were left.

If he could get them away from her he could at least make sure she wasn't harmed too badly trying to protect him. He accidentally shreds his lip again with his teeth before launching himself sideways away from Wonder Girl and the other manhunters. He was glad that he ended up moving through the air again. Maybe that way he could get farther before they caught him.

The Manhunter went down, smashed under Corinna's fists.

Meanwhile, one of the others sped up its flight, overtaking Florian and landing in front of him.

"....I won't let you have him," Corinna barked. Then sprung and moved very quickly after the Manhunters. She is obviously not concerned with her own safety. Even though she can feel herself throbbing she knew she couldn't stop.

Florian froze in mid-air looking between the remaining manhunters and then to the hole they had left in the ceiling of the community center. He could hear a strain in Wonder Girl's voice and knew there was no way he could could do anything against the robots inside, but maybe there was a piece of the roof or some pipe or something he could hit one of them with up above.

That idea in mind he shot towards the hole in the ceiling.

Corinna caught one of them, slamming into the ground with it. The other continued its pursuit of Florian.

Corinna punches and punches. She has to be sure this one goes down.

"Just get away, please! The Manhunters intend you harm," Corinna calls out. "I can handle them."

She is sure she can. She knows her own skill.

Florian only knew that Wonder Girl was yelling something, but he could no longer hear what it was as he shot into the sky with the last manhunter pursuing him. He looked around for anything he could use as a weapon or hiding place, but the speed of his flight and the yellow cast to his vision was disorienting. Not to mention he didn't want to draw the robot towards anyone else it could harm.

The Manhunter being hammered by Corinna was rapidly falling apart under Amazonian strength.

The remaining one fired up Florian.

As soon as he is gone Corinna will move on. She doesn't want to get hit from behind after all.

Florian pushes harder trying to figure out what powers his flight. What could he do to make him go faster and outrun the last manhunter?

The Manhunter is about to catch up, but Corinna might just have a chance...

And suddenly she charges it from behind.

She doesn't make a sound just pulls back a fist and punches.

Hi there Manhunter!

Florian keeps going a ways even after he's sure Wonder Girl has a hold on the last of his pursuers before he turns around and hovers there in the air watching the fight.

With Corinna's amazonian strength, the Manhunter nearly shatters from the very first blow, hitting the ground hard, and exploding.

"Are you all right," she asks after the Manhunter has exploded. She knows they don't have much time but she thinks she has enough to reassure him and explain things a bit.

Fidgeting a little, Florian drifts closer to speak.

"I-...I'm not injured." Besides the cuts on his lips from his freaky new teeth, but he did that to himself on accident.

"Are you okay..Wonder Girl? Those things...I'm sorry I wasn't much help I've never--" He forced himself to take a deep breath as he felt the air get caught in his lungs. There was no need for him to start hyperventilating.

"This is all pretty surprising."

"They're called Manhunters," she explains. "I'm fine. I didn't really expect you to be able to do anything, truly. We did not know who we would be locating."

She glances at him seriously. "Others will come. Them and misguided Green Lanterns. Would you come with me? There's someone who can explain this better than I. We won't let anything bad happen to you without a fight."

"I'm supposed to be going back to work."

He almost bites his lip again before stopping just in time and looking at his watch. He was supposed to be at work and he'd asked for the extra shift. It'd look bad if he didn't show up...maybe if he called later and said there was an emergency...? His mom was going to freak out, but he couldn't take the risk of leading anything like those robots back to her. If he went now...he could probably get this done with quickly and get back to her before she went to the cops.

"But...yeah. I'll come I need to know what's going on. Why I'm suddenly sprouting teeth and claws, a monster." He hesitates.

"I probably shouldn't, but--is your leg okay? I mean, I'm not going to tell anyone but- I was worried a bit. It's really brave that you fight anyway, I think."

"My leg?" She tilts her head faintly. How could he know about that? "It's fine. I'm uninjured."

"If need be I can leave some kind of message. We can produce a cover story for you if need be. I have no idea how long this will actually take."

Florian's eyes drift obviously to where the brace is under her boot, but he shakes his head and doesn't question her further.

"I can take care of work myself, I think, but my mother. She's- I can't leave her on her own for very long. She's okay while she's at work. They take care of her there. This week's okay for her a good week, but when she gets off in a few hours..."

She wasn't sure if he was checking her our or looking through her boot. She looks sympathetic.

"We can have people look in on her. But.... You might put her in danger if we can't take care of this. Is there some way you can say, leave a message to let her know you'll be all right? I don't know how long this will take."

Florian runs through the list of people they know in his head, but there's only one or two that would be willing or able to take care of his mother, the deteriorating cancer patient. It makes him sick the way their friends had offered their condolences and slowly disappeared unable to watch what happened to her. He takes a deep breath and rakes his hand over his hair flinching at the claws.

"I can leave her a voice mail, but I need to actually get a hold of one of her friends for tonight and tomorrow. My mom's sick and she needs help sometimes. Just gimme a minute."

He drops the distance to the nearest roof and calls until he's left a voicemail suitably vague and reassuring for his mom and found her closest coworker willing to take her on for a 'girly sleepover'. He hopes she'll have fun, be well, and won't worry.

He stows his phone and drifts back up slowly to Wonder Girl, still trying to figure out how he was flying.

She offered him a smile. She understood having to take care of family. It was the way of things. She puts a gentle hand on his arm when he comes back up.

"It will be okay." She knows it will be. Then she taps her communicator. "Watchtower. Two to beam up."
