“Bait?” Superman repeated, “Who for?”
“For the... Rogues,” Aqualad stumbled over the word slightly, “Kid Flash believes it was Luthor's work, as revenge for a similar incident last month.”
“What other villains did you face?” Batman asked.
“Killer Frost, Volcana, Jinx, and some of the Suicide Squad,” Piper replied, “Two-face... he said they'd been picked to play to our opposites.”
“That is Two-face's usual strategy,” Batman said, “But there is insufficient motive.”
“That's why we thought Luthor,” Kid Flash said, “They had a red-sun generator. I'm guessing you don't see that in Gotham all that often.”
The part of Piper's brain that came up with heists and general mayhem made a note of that. Red-sun. Could come in handy if he ever wanted to pull a Metropolis job.
The low whine of engines announced the League reinforcements' arrival. Almost subconsciously, the Rogues moved a bit closer together, keeping the weaponless out of line. Piper noticed an almost approving look from Aquaman. Nice to see someone appreciated that they weren't you're usual only-out-for-themselves thugs.
Of course, with the arrival of reinforcements, it meant that the Rogues were even more outnumbered, which was setting off Piper's fight-or-flight instinct. After all, it was basic villain survival to not go after more than one hero at a time.
“So where'd you guys find a bat-plane?”
Piper jumped at the voice, it wasn't usual for someone to be able to sneak up on him. However, the Boy Wonder had managed it. Robin grinned up at Piper.
“That's a bat-plane?” Piper asked, looking over the jet with a new eye.
“Mostly,” Robin replied, “I hacked the on-board computer and had a look. Whatever it is, it's based on bat-tech.”
“Someone's found your schematics then,” Piper said, “Not us though, we stay out of Gotham.”
“Unless you're pulling a rescue,” Robin said with a smirk.
“We aren't going to live this down, are we?” Piper groaned.
“Look at the plus side,” James put in, “Being underestimated is always a good thing.”
Kid Flash ran over. “Hey, the ship's ready for you now.”
The other Rogues were already heading over. Piper watched as Aqualad moved away from Aquaman and shook Mirror Master's hand, thanking him for his assistance in escaping. He then turned to Cold and thanked the Rogues as a whole.
“If your team requires assistance - legal assistance - Young Justice is happy to help,” Aqualad said, while shaking Cold's hand.
“About time someone showed appreciation,” Cold said.
There was a blur of motion and Piper barely had time to brace himself before Kid Flash gave him a super-speed hug. Flash looked somewhere between embarrassed and annoyed, which mostly came across as constipated, as Kid Flash sped through all the Rogues.
Perhaps encouraged by his team mate's actions, Superboy offered Cold his hand almost hesitantly. Now it was Superman's turn to look constipated as Cold took Superboy's hand and told him he was a good sidekick.
The Rogues ended up in the ship with Flash, Kid Flash, and Green Lantern. Piper double-checked the flute he had tucked up his sleeve. When they got to Central it would be his job to keep the heroes occupied while the Rogues escaped.
