You have earned that trust." The Batman said in a toneless voice. "Time has elapsed. Lightning, Redbird, Supergirl, Vixen, Aqualad, and Stargirl: you are with me. Huntress, Zod, Icon, Static, Geoforce, Firestorm, and Rocket: you are with Flash and Cyborg."<br/><br/>Flash and Cyborg took their group of recruits to another room within the Sanctuary to deliver their briefing (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=309921.0)<br/><br/>"Raven, Wonder Woman has requested to speak with you privately." The Batman inclined his head towards the Amazonian member of the League, and she ushered Raven away. Superman was standing very close to Aquaman, worried about the fiery-tempered King of Atlantis making another outburst or worse. But the King simply stroked his beard.<br/><br/>"Two things." The Aquaman said to Static. "First: the amount of trash talk I take for talking to fish I'm going to mock Captain Planet all I want - he gets a free pass and I don't? Nuh uh. Second thing: do not swear in front of Superman. That's real disrespect." The King of Atlantis made no issue of Static sticking up for himself or anything that the young man said. If anything, there was a look of newfound respect for Static having held his ground and spoken his mind in a way that mattered and showed some grit rather than just crass attitude.<br/><br/>"Enough." The Batman said. "Aquaman, Superman, Green Lantern, you are all overdue in Qurac. The U.N. investigators will be relying on the three of you to keep them safe while they investigate the allegations that Qurac is developing biological weapons in facilities on the Biyalian border."<br/><br/>Superman looked sheepish, and Aquaman grunted. "Good luck, everyone. I'm sure you won't need it, but . . ." Big Blue said with an easy grin, and a small two finger salute, before he and Green Lantern flew off with Aquaman in tow within an emerald construct.<br/><br/>"Your mission is to investigate the coercion and use of a very powerful metahuman by covert elements within the United States government. Redbird encountered this metahuman several days ago and managed to retrieve video surveillance footage of this metahuman in action." The Batman raised a hand and activated by remote one of the monitors within the room. The monitor displayed video stills of varying quality of a metahuman in black tactical armour. The video showed this unknown metahuman fighting with normal humans who were woefully outmatched, and a chemically and cybernetically enhanced metahuman who fared only marginally better. "This is not the first time this metahuman has been deployed. Judging by the metahuman's actions, the suit or components of it function as a control device for the metahuman wearing it - the methods are too uniform to be the result of an individual operating under free will. Data gleaned from spy satellites detected a stealth craft operating at the site of the attack that conveyed the metahuman to and from the combat zone despite the demonstrated power of flight, furthering the theory that the metahuman is not acting of their own volition. Further investigation narrowed down the point of origin for this craft's flight."<br/><br/>The Batman pressed a few more buttons on the remote and it brought up a three dimensional representation of a facility that consisted of a fairly standard warehouse above ground, filled with shipping crates. But there was an elevator that went below ground for several levels - more than were displayed. "This facility has shielding that is beyond anything we can pierce with passive scanning. While an active scan could in theory breach the shielding, it would alert the occupants that attention is focused upon them and give them time to wipe any data and relocate incriminating assets. The facility power draw is massive - almost one and a half times the power usage of the Watchtower. The metahuman is being contained there, and what else we do not know. But that is also a part of your mission, albeit a secondary objective. Your primary goal is to free the metahuman victim from control. Nobody deserves to their will taken from them like that."
