Chapter 32 - 32 Meetings and Reveals (1/2)

The atmosphere of the west side of Gray's penthouse was much more lively than the east side. The moment the three girls arrived, all eyes were moved from whatever they were doing to the three ridiculously beautiful girls in front of them.

That included Wally and Artemis who had snuck in by using Wally's speed to run straight up the side of the building. Arriving on a balcony with no-one around, the former dressed in a nice suit and tie, and the latter in a dark green dress that hugged her figure quite nicely, not that Wally would say anything about without sounding creepy.

The protégé of the Flash had his jaw dropped by the presence of Kara, Cassie and Mareena, and the daughter of Sportsmaster widened her eyes greatly and then looked down at herself with a conflicted look in her eyes.

Wally however, with all his fifteen year old knowledge, couldn't help but call out to the three newest members of the Team, all three of them instantly turning around and looking at their teammates.

”Wally? Artemis? What are you guys doing here?”.

Mareena and Kara walked over towards Kid Flash and Artemis with smiles on their faces, Cassie however frowned for a moment before noticing a group of teens walk into the party, two familiar faces with said group.

The speedster was lost for words at the sight of the slightly older teens in front of him, and only had the ability to gulp as Artemis' rolled her eyes and smiled at the Atalantean and Kryptonian.

”We are here to.... follow up on a lead. The.... new hero in town, this Lancer has quite the similarities with Rider. We thought that they might be the same person so we followed him.... Isn't that right Wally?”.

Kara smiled and pushed a few strands of loose hair behind her ear, before turning her head to look at Cassie, whose gaze was directed to another corner of the room.

”Cassie? What's the matter? Did something happen to- Conner! M'gann!”.

Her beautiful sounding voice echoed throughout the room, and all the members of the Team present, Wally, Artemis, Cassie and Mareena turned to look at the group of teens that entered the room, specifically, the young handsome half- Kryptonian with glasses on and the redheaded beauty beside him.

Technically when his sort-of-aunt/cousin called out his name, Conner Kent turned with his fake glasses on to look at the pretty blonde coming towards him, before a familiar name came to mind.

”Kara? What are you doing here?”.

The clone of Superman as well as the niece of Martian Manhunter welcomed their fellow teammate with open arms, before noticing other members of the Team, Kid Flash, Artemis, Aquagirl and Wondergirl behind Supergirl, all with looks of confusion on their faces.

Same could be said for the other five members of the Team. All looking at Conner and M'gann with confused eyes, while they looked at them with an equally confused gaze.

Conner pointed to one of the blonde girls in the group behind him, adjusting his glasses slightly while speaking.

”We were invited. Our investigation was going nowhere so we decided to come here. Their were no traces of Rider in the Queens so we left. I didn't think we'd meet you guys here though”.

He gave a small smile to his aunt/cousin who stood next to the clone of her actual cousin. Despite not getting along with his ”father”, his relationship with Kara was a nice thing to have. Even though he was a little upset that he did not possess all the same powers as she had, having something like ”real family” was a thing Conner had never had before.

There was a difference between the family he chose and the family he was given. The thought of the family he couldn't chose accepting him was a calming thought to the half-Kryptonian.

Wally, who had managed to regather himself looked at Superboy and spoke,

”How did you three come to arrive at this party? You didn't come through the door that everyone else came through either”.

”Well, actually we met the-”.

The sound of glass smashing into countless pieces silenced the conversation the members of the Team were having, and a pretty looking girl with black hair and blue eyes quickly picked up the pieces apologizing for to all the people around her.

”Sorry, I didn't mean to!”.

With a small curse under her breath against the boy wonder, Zatanna, with a face more red than anything than anyone had ever seen, felt the gazes of almost everybody in the room as she slowly picked up the countless shards of broken glass as she wiped the floor cleaning up the spilt alcohol.

Her and Robin had found evidence that the new hero in town, Lancer, had spent a large amount of time in this building. The east side had a large amount of magical defenses on it, restricting even her access, the west side however did not, and the two entered under the guise of waiters, although Dick was restricted to the kitchen.

Another hand started picking up glass beside her, and she almost wanted to push the person away out of embarrassment.
