The Quiet Never Lasts
Arthur was enjoying some quiet time. Lorena was busy elsewhere in Sub Diego and not nagging him for a change. He hadn't told her about his lunch date with Mera and he wasn't going to. Let her keep guessing where he disappeared to. It would do her some good. Not to mention save him from some nagging about seeing Mera again.

Arthur was on patrol around the outskirts of Sub Diego. He personally did this a few times a day and coordinated the other patrols. After the last attack it never hurt to be too careful.

"Between her and Hal Jordan, they're the reasons there isn't a Justice League anymore." Bruce says. He's sure that Arthur remembers Green Lantern's fall to the dark side. Zatanna and the others' decision to mind-wipe a super-villian also pushed Batman to work alone once more.

"Just make sure you don't do something she doesn't agree with or she might see fit to fix the issue herself." Bruce says.

	Arthur believed they all had a hand in disbanding the League. If it had been important to any of them they would have found a way to keep it together. "I remember," Arthur said and kept his thoughts to himself. He didn't want to argue with Bruce. "The only woman I'm wary of is Mera." With good reason too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Once we arrive in Las Vegas, we'll compile our information and figure out a plan of attack. Hopefully, we'll have more to work with than just the five of us." Batman says. "If not, we'll make do." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We always do," Arthur said. "Seems like old times." He wouldn't mind being in the League again now that he thought about it. Sub Diego will always be a priority with him, as well as Atlantis, but Arthur was a man of action. Not sitting around playing administrator. He was sure the US government would be happier too if he left Sub Diego. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Old times? Like coming up with plans on the fly because we all knew that Jordan or someone would change whatever plan we made right before the fight started?" Batman says. His voice is a rasp, but there might be a faint trace of amusement in his tone.

"And then there were old times like Diana trying to narrow down when the Christmas party was every meeting. Starting in January." he says. This time, Batman does smile, though his back is to Arthur.

	Arthur chuckled. "Yes. Or the times Diana made us pick secret santas and we all switched names until we had our own name? I bet you dinner that if the League does reform the first item brought up at a meeting is the Christmas party." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"/That/ made her mad. It was always interesting watching her struggle not to use her lasso to make us admit who'd done it." Bruce chuckles. "I'm not taking that bet. We all know she's going to bring it up. J'onn or Clark will probably remind her if she forgets." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Arthur laughed. "I know. And it's pretty great watching all the films of it too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"She would kill us all if there was film." Batman says. Diana was definitely an amazing woman. They'd grown close during the League's heyday, as close as Bruce ever let anyone, anyway.

The last few years had driven a wedge between him and everyone, though. He trusted almost no one anymore, no matter how familiar...especially after losing Barry and Jordan's betrayal.

"Would you really rejoin if the League reformed, Arthur? Even with everything going on in your life right now?" Bruce asks.

	"Yes," Arthur answered without hesitation. Sub Diego needed an administrator. Arthur wasn't an administrator. He was a man of action. "What about you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Too much has happened, Arthur. Too many lines crossed, too many principles sacrificed. I cannot, I /will not/ be a member of an organization that allows such things, even if I count my allies among their number." Batman says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Arthur nodded. "Fair enough. I understand your reasons." (Reply to this)(Parent)
