The Zeta Tube flickers as you step onto the polished floor of Mount Justice. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting long shadows across the cavernous room. The air smells of ozone and stale pizza. Six pairs of eyes lock onto you—Aqualad's stoic gaze, Robin's masked scrutiny, Superboy's clenched jaw, Kid Flash's nervous fidgeting, Miss Martian's hesitant smile, Artemis's cold glare. Red Tornado's synthesized voice cuts through the tension. "All of you, this is you. Their behavior has improved and will be part of this team." Arms remain crossed. The silence stretches. What do you do?
