The JSA Brownstone

May 09, 2007 15:52

Danette Reilly has been a lot of things in her more than eighty years on this earth -- a vulcanologist, a super hero, a spy. But none of it prepared her for this moment.

She sits at Mr. Terrific's counsel, and hits the emergency transmission. She doesn't want to do it -- she wants more time -- but there's protocols in place. Instructions in case disaster hits.

She has to trust that Terrific and the others knew ... know what they're doing.

She steels herself, and hits the first button -- putting all the JSA's reserve members on stand-by.

Then, she sends a secure transmission -- Oracle and active Justice League only.

"This is Firebrand for the Justice Society, requesting stand-by assistance. Repeat, this is Firebrand for the JSA, requesting the JSA remain on stand-by alert. The majority of the current JSA roster is Missing in Action. Team assets currently stand at myself, Hourman, Hawkgirl and Shining Knight."

She pauses, remembering the look on Sir Justin's face when he saw her. That's another conversation she's not looking forward to. She pushes it away, and continues.

"We also have in our care former JLA member Moon Maiden."

Whose file is AWFULLY skimpy, she thinks, but she pushes that thought away, too.

"Moon Maiden has sustained serious injuries. We've brought her back here, and have STAR medical personnel seeing to her."

One more deep breath.

"Transmitting emergency codes for request to stand-by for assistance. No action needed at this time."

She exhales.

"we're going to find them. Firebrand, out."
