Chapter 358 Courtney and Wally
"For the Illuminati, for Humanity."
After the slogan, the Room was silent for about two or three seconds. It seemed Luthor was not the only one raising a glass in celebration.
"Next topic." A voice came from the leftmost Screen. Vandal Savage picked up a document from his Desk. The document was a mix of text and images, and the pictures clearly showed Super Giant fighting Animal Plant Mineral Man.
Moreover, as Savage continued to flip through the Information, there were also Photos of Yang Le fighting Sportsmaster and others, and even Photos of them communicating with the Justice League.
"This newcomer who just debuted recently seems to be in the limelight." Savage tapped his Finger on the Desk. "His appearance is ever-changing. If it weren't for the Intelligence from Sportsmaster, I really wouldn't be able to believe they are the same person."
"The difference in their appearance and Ability is just too great. The only common point is this strange Symbol on their bodies." Queen Bee said from beside Savage's Screen. As she spoke, a Photo appeared on everyone's Communicator, and it was the Omnitrix Symbol.
"We have collected the Abilities of the Forms he has currently shown." Brain next to Queen Bee said. "But I don't think these are all of them."
"The unknown represents a Variable." Ra's al Ghul rested his Chin on his hands. "He is very likely to affect our Plan."
"I find it quite interesting." Klarion the Witch Boy stroked his Kitty. "The more chaotic, the more fun, isn't it?"
"Meow." The Kitty Teekl purred comfortably, as if agreeing with Klarion the Witch Boy's Words. Of course, only Teekl responded to him. Although everyone present was a top-notch Criminal, none of them agreed with Klarion the Witch Boy's Words.
Unordered chaos, it is estimated that only this God of chaos in front of them would like it.
"What do we do next?" Black Manta broke the deadlock. "Do we change the Plan or lie low for a while?"
"I Suggest the Plan continues." Luthor put down the Cup in his Hand. "I have no Reason to be intimidated by one person, and the deployment of so long cannot be stopped."
"Agreed." "Seconded." Everyone present agreed with Luthor's Suggestion. They also did not believe that one person alone could affect their Plan, after all, their real Goal was still unknown to anyone.
----Divider Line----
Wally West was sitting nervously in the Guest Room of the Hall of Justice at this time. Beside him was Courtney, who was equally uneasy. Both were indifferent to the Snacks placed on the Table in front of them.
In normal times, Wally would definitely have feasted. He was originally a foodie, and he happened to have obtained the Speed Force, which consumed a lot of energy. This was simply a perfect combination for Wally, but unfortunately, the nervousness in his Heart made him lose his appetite at this moment.
When he came, he learned from Barry that the Justice League had important Business to notify him of today. The quick-thinking Wally, combined with his recent performance, pessimistically deduced that he might never become a Super Hero in his life.
After all, a few days ago, he had gone on a Night Investigation of the School with Courtney, who was an Ordinary Person, during his Detention. Not only that, he had even exposed his Identity.
Combining these two things, even the most optimistic Wally could not think of any good aspects. He was now like a death row prisoner waiting for the execution ground, and every minute and every second he sat in the Guest Room was torment for him.
"Could you please stop shaking your Leg?" Courtney's Voice came. Wally came back to his senses and found that his Right Leg had been shaking into an Afterimage. He quickly stopped his obvious small movement.
"Are you that scared?" Courtney asked with Puzzlement.
"It's alright." Wally leaned back, his whole body slumped on the Chair like a puddle of Sludge. "Rather than being scared, I'm ashamed."
"Ashamed?" Courtney was even more puzzled.
"I acted on my own again." Wally stared at his Fingers. "This time I might really never become a Hero again. It's nothing much, but when I think of Flash's expectations of me, I feel extremely ashamed. He always says to me, 'You can do better,' but I always mess things up."
"Sorry." Courtney lowered her head. She had only recently learned that Wally had been put in Detention, and the Reason he had acted on his own was all because of her.
"Don't worry about it. I can't just watch you go to that place alone, can I?" Wally waved his Hand. He had already let go of it in his Heart. At this moment, Wally looked like a Buddha who had attained enlightenment.
"Besides, you didn't know beforehand, and I couldn't tell you either. This matter can't be blamed on you, Courtney. You don't need to feel guilty."
The more Wally said this, the more ashamed Courtney became. Just as the atmosphere in the Room was gradually becoming awkward, someone took the lead in breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"This matter is also not your fault, Wally." Flash appeared behind Wally at some point. He put his Hand on Wally's Shoulder, Comforting the disappointed Teenager.
"Forget it, I've already let it go." Wally shook his head. "I'm very sorry for not meeting your expectations. Just announce it, I can take it."
"You already know?" Flash's Voice had a hint of Surprise.
"Only an Idiot wouldn't be able to guess." Wally laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Wait a minute!" Courtney suddenly stood up, interrupting the conversation between the two. Courtney forcefully patted her chest with her Right Hand and said, "All the Responsibility for this matter is on me. Don't revoke Wally's Superhero Identity. I will bear all the Responsibility this time."
"What can you bear?" A hoarse Sound rang out. Everyone turned their Line of Sight towards the Direction the Sound came from. Batman and several other Justice League members walked in from the Doorway. Courtney also saw a surprising face among them.
"Pat!" Courtney's stepfather, Pat Dugan, showed a hint of embarrassment after hearing his stepdaughter call him by his full name, but it quickly dissipated and turned into a serious expression.
"Courtney Whitman." Batman's cold Voice pulled Courtney's Line of Sight back.
"You have used the Equipment of the deceased Hero Sky Man without authorization. I am now going to take back his Equipment. Hand it over."
Courtney was startled by Batman's Line of Sight, subconsciously took a step back, and covered her Fanny Pack with both Hands.
"It seems you are unwilling." Batman's Line of Sight became even colder. Courtney felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave at this moment.
"I was the one who found it." Although Courtney was scared, she still protested in a low voice.
"Then it seems we have to use another Method." Green Arrow next to him said seriously.
