Season 2 - E P I S O D E I:
A Traitor Among Us
October 23rd, 2018 - 2:30 pm | Justice League Headquarters - Metro Tower
It happened two days ago. The Society attacked the heroes' HQ while the Metropolis branch of STAR Labs was robbed by other members of the villainous group. Like the Question had deduced months ealier, the Society was after a strange alien metal called Nth Metal by the scientists at STAR Labs. With Starman warning about a white Martian invasion, Supergirl couldn't help but think they may already have a man on the inside. Several heroes are at Metro Tower helping with the clean up. Could it be one of them?
Starman was still getting readjusted to being back on Earth. He forgot to mention he was from the future and a time lost member of the Legion of Superheroes. He was a new man now. His own man. However the loss of his friends in space fighting against the white Martians weighed heavy on his heart and mind. Doctors call it survivor's guilt. Since travelling the stars after a mission with his former allies in the Legion, Danny became friends with a couple other outcasts and renegades in sectors outside of Earth's. The last green Martian J'onn J'onzz and Tigorr (last surviving member of the Omega Men) had been travelling the stars with the time lost hero taking down the Black Circle Syndicate. Interstellar drug and arms dealing scum of the universe who had recently got into slave trading, the trio of outcasts had nothing left to lose and went at them head on. It wasn't until re-entering sector 2814 that they'd had any real problems. That's when they discovered the armada of white Martian ships and their base of operations on one of the moons of Saturn...
Before he could fall back asleep he heard some moving around and stepped out of his personal quarters at the Tower to see other heroes helping still with the clean up of the HQ. Danny missed it by a day but he couldn't sit around and watch.
Hours later...While moving some things down to the lower levels of the Tower, Captain Marvel and Toon Girl were the first heroes to be attacked by malfunctioning holo-droids in the War Room utilities closets and storage area. The 'droids took the form of mirror copies of the heroes. Similar powers with knowledge on how to get around their powers. Whoever reset their programming set them on the hardest difficulty.
With part of the communicator systems not working, will the other heroes realize what's happening before it's too late for their friends?

Season 2 - E P I S O D E 2:
A Traitor Revealed
October 25th, 2018 - 7:14 pm | Justice League Headquarters - Metro Tower
The now retired Batman was visiting Metro Tower and was surprised to discover his hired hand, Clutch, wasn't also at HQ. Most of the power hitters were absent from the base, with only Polarity Man and the newly christened Champion (formerly the Rookie) posing any threat to enemies of the League with real power. Batman was out of costume, making an appearance as Bruce Wayne but the seasoned members of this JLU knew his other identity.
"I see half your squad is absent, Beetle. You know where Clutch is at the moment?" Bruce asked now walking on a cane walking through the Tower with one of the new mentors.
"People have lives outside of just being a full time superhero. Gotta give everyone ample time to take a load off after the fiasco a few days ago." Ted explained to the retired hero.
"I'm sure you're all quite tired of cleaning this place. It's why I had a butler when I was younger..." Wayne continued.
"Well we're makin' due at the moment with reprogrammed holodroids and some of the more willing leaguers." BB explained as he motioned over to one of the blank holodroids sweeping up some debris.
"Yes... I'd heard about what happened the other day. Glad you got the kinks worked out..." Wayne continued walking through the headquarters.
Outside Metro Tower..."That's the signal... light up that generator. When the lights are out I'll make my move..." spoke the shadow of a pale skinned girl in a hooded trenchcoat.
She pulled the hood down to reveal her wild hairstyle and electricity leaking from her eyes. Livewire was about to knock out the power in the League's HQ.
Moments later...The lights went out, emergency red lights lit up the exits. Bruce Wayne looked at Blue Beetle and the approaching Champion.
"Did you forget to fix the lights, Ted?" Wayne asked in his grizzled voice.
"That I did Baaaaa-ruce." Ted said as he unholstered his BB gun. After all of the action in the past couple of days, Ted had felt more than a little on edge.
"Probably the damned generator." Duncan piped up as he got closer, garbed in a set of mechanics cover-alls but still wearing a domino mask, because if he learned anything this past year, it's that villains had a habit of showing up where he lived
"We've been running her non-stop for a while now, maybe something finally broke down.""Probably right." Ted added as he holstered his gun once more, turning his attention to Duncan.
"You wanna tag along and check it out Champ? I'd like to see what's up but I don't got any tools on me." Ted asked the newly renamed Champion.
'Never gonna get used to that...' 'Champion' thought with a slightly quirked brow as he rolled up his sleeves and answered;
"Hell yeah. After the past few days, mucking around with something big and full of diesel'd be a goddamn dream." The lad snorted with amusement
"Sure beats redoing the plumbing in the kitchen."-00492 (with R2 and Lurks)
