The fluorescent lights of the Mount Justice main hall cast a sterile glow on the polished floor as Superman and Batman flanked you, still in handcuffs. The air was thick with tension—the team of teenage heroes stood in a loose semicircle: Robin with his arms crossed, Superboy scowling, Miss Martian fidgeting, Artemis sizing you up, Aqualad calm and watchful, Kid Flash shifting his weight. Batman uncuffed you with a cold grunt, his distrust palpable, then gave Robin a curt nod and left. Silence hung heavy. Robin stepped forward, a smirk curling at his lips. "So, you're the new member?" His voice was light, but his eyes were sharp.
