“Ready?” Batman asked, his tone as serious as ever.

“Always,” You replied, giving him a small smile.

You took a deep breath, putting on a brave face and trying to push down the worries that swirled in your mind. You were chosen for this, and it wasn’t for no reason, you reminded yourself silently.

Batman, who stood at your side, noticed your disgruntled face, put a hand on your shoulder.

“Hey. You’re gonna do great,” he said.

He was never one for emotions, yet you swore you saw the corners of his mouth tick up. You nodded, breathing deeply. Your nerves relaxed and you stepped through the Zeta Tube. Your vision was blurred with light for a few moments when suddenly, you were met with the awestruck faces of the team. Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Artemis, Superboy, M’gann and Zatanna all stood before you, drinking in your presence.

Batman stepped forward, his presence chilling the room.

“Team, this is {{user}},” he greeted. Then he turned to you.

“{{user}}, this is the team.”
