Giovanni said, interrupting the Batman before he could go further. The Batman nodded and Giovanni got to his feet. It took the magician two attempts, and when he did gain his feet they were not steady. "Enac." He murmured, and a black wooden cane with a golden grip appeared in his hand. The magician leaned on it for support and approached his nephew. Giovanni's eyes met Zachary's, and they looked vainly for something that they did not find.<br/><br/>"I am sorry, Zachary. I was wrong to compel you to be here. I should have respected your decision not to attend, and I will do nothing to prevent you from departing. No one will do anything to prevent you from departing. You follow your heart, and I will never try to convince you that that is a mistake. Og htiw ym gnisselb, dna ym evol." Although Giovanni was more than certain at this moment that Zachary neither wanted nor cared about either. Giovanni lowered his head in defeat and and walked over to stand with the rest of the League. Wonder Woman placed a concerned hand gently upon Giovanni's shoulder, but the magician waved off her concern with a gentle smile. Superman looked away, trying and failing to hide a whirlwind of emotions.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/OB2eDux.jpg)</div><strong>NAME:</strong>The Batman/Bruce Wayne<br/>(Optional)<strong>WEARING:</strong>The Batsuit<br/><strong>DAY:</strong>Aug 21 2020<br/><strong>TIME:</strong>When Little Muffins Makes Demands<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong>Secret Sanctuary<br/><strong>CONTENT:</strong>The Batman Calls The Meeting To Order<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong>All present and sundry<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"The answer is very simple: the Justice League is no longer enough." The Batman said, his voice particularly without emotion as he admitted this bitter fact to the youths gathered. It would strike home especially hard with those he had trained, or tried to train, because the Batman admitting fault was comparable to something particularly rare and magical. Like a unicorn. But unlike the unicorn, the Batman admitting fault was not necessarily beautiful and wondrous to behold.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/UlXbYhM.jpg)</div><strong>NAME:</strong>Superman<br/>(Optional)<strong>WEARING:</strong>The iconic red & blue<br/><strong>DAY:</strong>Aug 21 2020<br/><strong>TIME:</strong>Midday<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong>Secret Sanctuary<br/><strong>CONTENT:</strong>Superman Addresses Everyone<br/>(Optional)<strong>MOOD MUSIC:</strong>Superman Theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9vrfEoc8_g)<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong>All Gathered<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Nobody in this room is perfect." Superman said. "That applies to me most of all. I try to be a good person, a good man. It has not always worked out. I have made mistakes. People have died in my arms. People have died calling out my name, thinking that they could always, always count on me to save them. But I cannot save everyone. No single one of us can save every one. But we can all make the choice - the hard choice - to be good." His words were earnest and he looked at everyone in the room not like a god looking down on people beneath him, but as a simple making an entreaty to others who were in the same position that he was.<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/vag98eZ.jpg)</div><strong>NAME:</strong>Aquaman<br/>(Optional)<strong>WEARING:</strong>Atlantean Regalia<br/><strong>DAY:</strong>Aug 21 2020<br/><strong>TIME:</strong>Midday<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong>Secret Sanctuary<br/><strong>CONTENT:</strong>Aquaman tells it like it is<br/>(Optional)<strong>MOOD MUSIC:</strong>Flipper Theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EifnM3pRLdQ)<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong>Everybody (yeah!)<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Aquaman crossed his arms over his chest and pursed his lips. "More than one of you've piped up that this idea is stupid. Guess what? You're right! I see it now. It's a waste of my time, and I'm a king! None of you - well, maybe Jackson does - have any idea how hard it was for me to make time for this. Here I am, though! I thought this would be worth it! I let myself get talked into believing that people who lived up on land were worth a damn! But Neptune forbid that any of you surface dwellers make time, take responsibility. That's just too much. You can all bounce and go back to stuffing Big Macs in your face and polluting the oceans and jacking yourselves off because you made that fucking Captain Planet cartoon."<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/zpIqAT8.jpg)</div><strong>NAME:</strong>Wonder Woman<br/>(Optional)<strong>WEARING:</strong>Amazonian Armor<br/><strong>DAY:</strong>Aug 21 2020<br/><strong>TIME:</strong>Midday<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong>Secret Sanctuary<br/><strong>CONTENT:</strong>Wonder Woman understands<br/>(Optional)<strong>MOOD MUSIC:</strong>Wonder Woman Theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imc_qG8Re2Q)<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong>All present<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Arthur, please." Wonder Woman said soothingly, and when she looked at him Aquaman could not stay mad. But he did huff and look away from the young heroes gathered.<br/><br/>"But as the Batman stated, the world is facing more threats than the League collectively and individually can respond to. All of you are old enough now to understand the responsibilities that come with the gifts you have been given. All of you have the experience to know what happens when you choose not to live up to those responsibilities. Everyone in this room has seen and felt the consequences of selfish misuse of super-powers, magic, and advanced technology. And as Superman said, no single person can save everyone. I think the Justice League is proof that together we can save more people and do more good than if we go it alone."<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/OB2eDux.jpg)</div><strong>NAME:</strong>The Batman/Bruce Wayne<br/>(Optional)<strong>WEARING:</strong>The Batsuit<br/><strong>DAY:</strong>Aug 21 2020<br/><strong>TIME:</strong>When Little Muffins Makes Demands<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong>Secret Sanctuary<br/><strong>CONTENT:</strong>The Batman Gives An Ultimatum<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong>All present and sundry<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Anyone who makes the choice to stay will be held to the same standards as a League member. They will receive access to the Secret Sanctuary, which contains facilities that are equal to those of the Watchtower. I will give you initial targets today, but in the future you will be entrusted to utilize the Sanctuary's mainframe to monitor situations and respond at your own initiative, taking steps to coordinate your actions with the League when necessary." The Batman said. "Anyone who is still here in two minutes will be deemed to have accepted these terms."
