[David Lance POV]

Without wasting time, I rushed to the vans that were a few hundred meters away, catching a glimpse of the robots taking the containers that held Amazo in parts. -Raven portal!-

At my command, Raven opened a portal in front of me, one that connected with the path the droids were taking to make their getaway; leaping out of the portal, I punched two robots out of the way as I positioned myself to the right, making sure to not have anything in front of me, but the droids.

There, I took a step forward and whispered. "Enough."

My whisper, carrying the destructive force one would expect, destroyed the droids that held the container, leaving nothing behind but a damaged container falling to the ground.

-Holy crap,- Kid Flash muttered through the telepathic link, seeing the destruction my voice had caused.

-You can marvel at my power later! Stop the other container!- I ordered as I sprinted toward the damaged container I had just avoided from getting away. Taking a deep breath, I reached the container with one hand before ripping it open to see the upper part of Amazo inside.

Knowing Batman would never destroy this weapon and that whoever was after Amazo would not stop going after the android either, I grabbed the upper part of Amazo with one hand before tossing it high into the air, as I looked up and said. "Goodbye." In turn, releasing a powerful sonic scream that caused the upper part of Amazo to explode in midair into nothing.

-I did what had to be done,- I replied coldly. I told Batman that leaving Amazo be would only bring problems in the long run, but he didn't listen, so it was only fair that I didn't listen to some of his orders right now, like keeping Amazo in one piece if possible.

-Good riddance,- Raven said, approving of my choice. -We should've done that the moment we defeated the android the first time. The League was asking for problems when it allowed that thing to remain.- New novel chapters are published on

"You did. But, now I ask you, did you consider the effects this action will have later on? What if whoever made Amazo makes another one now, one stronger, better, and harder to put down than the last," Batman asked, his voice laced with anger. "Or did you not even bother to think about that before you decided to take matters into your own hands and destroy him?"

~I did think about it,~ I replied coolly. ~And I came to the conclusion that if whoever made Amazo could make more, he wouldn't have bothered to send simple drones after this one. He would've sent an army of Amazos, or maybe just one.~

"That's a supposition of possible events at best," Batman replied in a low tone.

~Maybe, but it has a better ground than your theory about a stronger Amazo so far. We both know Amazo's creator is dead, just as we also know that replicating Amazo is nearly impossible,~ I replied, grabbing another cookie from the tray Alfred had brought a few moments prior.

Batman was silent for a moment before he spoke again. "I understand your reasoning. But that doesn't excuse your actions. You should've followed the orders you were given or, at the very least, consulted me first before taking such drastic measures."

I nodded in agreement. ~You're right; maybe I should've. But sadly, it wasn't within my options to follow that path. I mean, it was just a matter of time before the droids succeed in their mission. As you like to say, sometimes you have to make decisions in the heat of the moment, and that's what I did.~

Batman, at this, said nothing, simply gazing at me.

~Besides, if I didn't stop Amazo from coming back online, I would've put the team at risk, and as their leader, it is my ambition and objective to avoid putting them at unnecessary risks,~ I continued, knowing very well that while the team's safety had been one of the reasons behind my actions, it hadn't been the main one, I had my personal chips on the entire thing.

A long silence followed my words, during which Batman simply stared at me. Finally, after a moment, he broke the silence by sighing as he rubbed his temples with his fingers.

"It's like looking at a mirror from the past, Master Wayne," Alfred chuckled, giving Batman and me a fond look filled with nostalgia.

Batman, trying his best to ignore Alfred's comment, spoke. "I can't say I agree with your actions. But the fact that you put the team's safety over the mission is admirable."

I nodded.

"You are dismissed," Batman said, his voice tired, like that of a father being done with an argument.

At this, I stood up from my chair and, with a last look at Batman, left the room.
