They started making their way to the school again, taking down any agents they came across. Bruce let him know when the JL members had arrived in town and that they would take down the other agents in the city before joining them at the school.
When they got there they stared at the green tinted dome for a moment. Danny turned to the Bats. “You should all be able to get in since you all have some ectoplasm, and the shield only rejects people who have none.
“Hn.” Bruce said and stepped forward through the shield. The rest of the Bats followed with Danny behind them.
They approached the school doors and Danny felt several cameras focus on them. A figure stepped out of the doors, a bat over one shoulder.
“What’s your purpose here?” she asked, Danny could see students with modified ectoguns behind her waiting just inside the school. But he couldn’t focus on them.
He pushed between the Bats and ran to her.
“Jazz!”
Her eyes widened and she dropped the bat to catch him in her arms. “Danny!”
“I thought…” he trailed off, and Jazz hugged him tighter.
“I’m okay.” she whispered against his hair.
They held each other for a moment before Danny shifted slightly so he could look over at the Bats, who had waited silently on the side.
“I brought help,” he said. “The Justice League is helping too. They’re disbanding the Anti-Ecto ACts and taking down the GIW.”
Jazz’s gaze was hard as she stared at Batman. “And why are you just helping now?”
Batman stepped forward. “We didn’t know. We didn’t receive any of your distress calls. There’s no trace of them on our servers. We’re currently investigating what caused the issue.”
Jazz nodded slightly, pulling away and glancing back into the school. “Do you have a plan?” she asked, turning back to Batman.
“We are here to help secure civilians. Other League members are working on breaking into GIW facilities and arresting any agents they find. One of the League’s supernatural specialists is taking a look at the portal.” He looked behind her at the students that were peeking out the door, ectoguns held loosely in their hands. “Where are the adults?”
“There’s a few inside, but most are locked down in their own homes.”
“Why aren’t the all here if this is the safe zone you’ve established?”
Jazz shrugged. “The GIW only care about those with an ectosignature, and the youth are the only ones with enough ectoplasm to ping their sensors. The adults who can stay out and sneak us resources.”
“Hn.”
“Where’s…” Danny started, biting his lip, “where’s mom– Maddie and Jack?”
Jazz’s expression hardened. “At one of the GIW bases. I’m not sure which one.”
Before anyone could say anything else two people burst out of the building.
“Danny!” they said before colliding with him and almost knocking him to the ground.
He grabbed onto them just as tightly. “You’re okay.” he whispered.
“Did you find the thermos?” Tucker asked after a moment still not letting go.
“Yeah.” Danny said. “She’s safe. We also ran into Valerie. The GIW were controlling her through her suit. We freed her and she’s also safe with the League.” he paused for a moment. “Is… is everyone okay?”
“Yeah.” Sam said, pulling away slightly. “There’s a few people with bruises and scrapes, but everyone’s fine.”
“Good.”
Nightwing turned to Batman. “A couple of us should stay to check on everyone and help defend the school while everyone else can help take down GIW agents. Someone could go check on Constantine.”
“Hn. Spoiler and Robin are already in the city. Black Bat, Nightwing, and Signal, join them. Nightwing, go the Fenton house to check on Constantine. Red Robin and Red Hood, stay here with the civilians. I will go check in with the rest of the League and see what’s needed next.”
Everyone dispersed and Danny, Jason and Tim followed his friends and sister into the school. Danny felt himself relaxing. His friends and sister were fine. The JL were taking care of the GIW. He could finally start to see the beginnings of a bright future ahead of them.
