Summary
Bruce breathed carefully too, and Dick recognised the rhythm for clear-headedness. “The League is a battering ram when I need a lock pick,” he conceded. “It’s a covert mission, an investigation into illicit black market dealings on an alien planet of which we have no first-hand knowledge, and Superman wants Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, and Green Arrow to accompany me. The penalty for incorrectly trading legal thafalstron is ten years’ jail time; smuggling justifies life imprisonment. We don’t even have a clear-cut system of translation, and the League thinks we can just walk in and escape detection.”
A mission in space should be just what Dick needed to shake away the cobwebs and make some sense of his life a year after Bruce miraculously returned from his presumed death. So what if their translators work 75% of the time and there's a life sentence if they get discovered. What could possibly go wrong?
