Stephanie’s point of view
I was nervous. It was my first appearance as Bruce’s PR representative. Not the company but the actual Batman. For the company, I was already a spokeswoman for the CEO. I gave my speech and began taking questions. The first few were already pre-selected from the crowd as I pointed to the first.
“So Bruce has officially announced that he is Batman and that he wasn’t given a trial as a vigilante under the Superhuman Registration Act?” I answered in my business voice. “That is correct. While he had already signed it as Batman, with his identity leaking it puts him under the sa set of laws that other celebrity heroes would fall under. That goes for pardons for all previous cris committed and stronger protections for defending his property and assets.”
The crowd began to ask for the next but I just pointed across the room at the next person. “Yes. From the Daily Planet. What are his plans going forward? Does he plan to do any sponsor deals like what Tony has or is he just announcing himself to get ahead of all the bad press he’s received?”
I answered the prewritten question with the prewritten answer. “While he doesn’t plan to do any sponsorship deals now, who knows in the future. Right now he’s solely focused on his hero work. Next question.” Another burst of yelling from the crowd as I picked the last reporter plant.
“Does he plan to pay for any of the damages he caused as Batman?” While that wasn’t the exact question that was supposed to be asked it was close enough that I could pivot to answer. “No, he would have payed for the damages before his secret identity was leaked but now that his identity is known to the public it would only invoke people trying to claim insurance fraud against him. All damages have to be pushed through the governnt from the SRA bill that was passed.”
Another burst of yelling and shouting before the first not-screened question was picked. “Yeah, what’s his deal? Like why doesn’t he use lethal force like the other mbers do? Tony Stark has killed-.” Soone from the crowd moves forward while shouting. “Black Mask sends his regards.” Before I even realized what happened I was shot in the head.
For a brief few seconds, the crowd remains perfectly silent as my head rocks backward. The bubbling fear was completely silenced again as my head snapped back upwards and I stared the guy down. “Ouch, that really hurt! Peels!” The gunman toppled over as I put him to sleep. “Can soone get this bum out of here before I answer this question? Oh! We are doing a Funko pop deal with all the Batfamily mbers. The proceeds will be donated to charity organizations.” I managed to keep my calm as I pulled the flattened bullet off of my head.

Cassandra’s point of view
This was the first team-up I was ever invited to. After Batman’s identity was revealed he knew there would be a president set that there would be missions the Justice League couldn’t involve themselves with. So he made a special team called the Outsiders to handle missions that couldn’t be linked back to the Justice League. Missions that if the Justice League tried to do could cause an international incident.
Like the hostage situation that was happening in Markovia right now. It ant that soone like on the team(the only one with stealth/assassination skills) was pulling heavy duty on keeping the team hidden until they could free the leader. I looked at my team again. Jefferson Pierce(Black Lightning), Eric Moran(Freight Train), Grace Choi, Halo and tamorpho. It beca clear to very early on when Grace smashed a tank into pieces that I was going to have a difficult ti making sure this didn’t beco an international incident.
Freeing the current king so he could sweep all this under the rug might be the only way we could avoid small skirmishes or even an outright war starting up. I portalled us another few miles forward onto a roof closer to the main presidential building. My magic powers were being taxed to the max as I kept us from being spotted.
Another bullrush from Choi and I’m just about done with her. I know it’s in her blood to be bullheaded but this is ridiculous. This was a stealth mission to not be spotted as we freed the king. Every ti she was caught could an that they get more scared and just decide to kill the king. No, that didn’t make sense. The king should have been killed imdiately by the rebels but for so reason wasn’t.
It was most likely because he managed to escape or for so reason, they couldn’t kill him. Guards were about to notice them but I got off another concealing spell. I breathed as sweat poured down my face. The mission would have gone far differently without my ability to avoid fights. I doubted the enemy leader even knew we were in the city already.
I needed to continue acting like a normal person. Give the girl in the group a smile and nod to the rest. The girl reminded of Steph a little. Both were that cheery type so did that an… I was the idiot fighter of the group like Grace down there punching people unconscious?

Poison Ivy couldn’t help but respect the changes she was already seeing with people cleaning up after themselves. A large group was on the beach collecting trash to support her 'Clean the World!' cause. Harley ca bouncing up to her in a red and white bikini. It took her trendous effort to not just stare at her tits as she talked.
Things had changed in a big way for both of them since they t Dan. For one, she was actually funded and could do big experints instead of needing to rob banks to pull them off. The products she produced would rapidly change the earth and the sa went for Harley. She was just happy. It wasn’t the fake happiness she put on around Joker, but real honest-to-goodness happiness that oozed from her.
Harley playfully bit her lip and leaned in to whisper. “Hey… Want to go into the changing rooms and have a quickie?” Ivy could only stutter as she was pulled along by the smiling Harley Quinn.
