A/N: New story! Thanks for the support so far and I sincerely hope you readers enjoy my work. Then again, I insist, do not hesitate to point out my mistakes or tell me where I can improve! Thanks!
PS: My Justice League in this story is the one in JLU. Includes the 7 as well as Green Arrow, Black Canary, the Question and Aquaman.
Chapter 1 The Meeting Begins
"We are assembled here for a meeting concerning our 'subdivision', the teen Titans," Superman (aka Clark Kent) began.
"Skip the formalities and get to the point," Shayera (aka Hawkgirl) said.
Green Lantern (aka John Stewart) gave her a look.
"In this meeting we will be evaluating the team as a whole as well as each member of the team," Superman continued "We will decide whether the Teen Titans should still be our subdivision or, in the worst case, still be a team. We will also decide whether or not to offer extra training or punish members of the team. We will also decide if they should remain on the team or not."
"This meeting is of great importance." Wonder Woman (aka Princess Diana of Themyscira) said. "Please take it as a serious issue as the Teen Titans may damage or boost the people's trust in us. They could also be a threat if they cannot manage the crime rates in Jump City and we have to interfere. They are ultimately our subdivision and therefore we are ultimately responsible for nurturing them and training them to be true heroes." she paused and looked around the room.
Even Flash was listening.
She began again. "If there happens to be a serious incident in which the League is away or needs backup, the Titans will be who we will call on. I hope everyone will understand the utter importance of this meeting."
"Any questions." Batman (aka Bruce Wayne, billionaire) asked.
The Question raised his hand.
"Speak." Batman demanded.
"Will we be questioning the Titans, evaluating them psychologically or giving them a special test?"
"That's a good question." Superman replied "Although we have seen the team beat villain again and again, certain members quitting and joining again, it isn't enough. We have seen certain members having attitude problems and this might hurt the team. We need to give them tough scenarios to see what they really can do and who they really are."
Flash raised his hand. Superman nodded.
"Well, I mean," he began "They have gone through a lot of emotional troubles and stuff but they are still a team. Raven sometimes finds Beast Boy annoying but she actually enjoys his jokes and is willing to spend a moment with him! She even rescued him and defended him! I think there's no questioning of how tightly the team is bound."
"But suppose Robin be blinded by his crush on Starfire," The Question stated, turning to Batman. The Bat nodded his approval.
"He might make some decisions in her favour or in favour of his relation with her. That kind of decision may not be the best decision. The Titans may be hurt or even die. Perhaps they would be angry at Robin and quit," The Question said "So I agree with Superman. We need to see what they are made of."
"Sometimes we need to trust others," Aquaman said, looking around the table. "We need to show the Titans that we trust them. "
"We do," Green Arrow said "They are our subdivision. League members need annual evaluations, why not the Titans?"
"I agree." said John "We need a real test. Appearances and videos can be deceiving. We aren't with them, we haven't really observed them, so we can't say anything for sure,"
Black Canary nodded "Although they seem to be great, you don't know. They have been acting quite independently, but they are after all our subdivision and need to abide the rules, which includes annual evaluations."
"Well I think they are great fighters as most of you should agree to," Shayera began. The others nodded. "They have shown that they are a team in a lot of cases. Cyborg quitting, Beast Boy wanting to lead the team, saving the world from its end… It shows how willing they are to sacrifice for each other and ultimately make the world a better place." She cleared her throat "Also, I believe that Robin will not be blinded by his crush on Starfire. He knows he has to make the right choice."
"We didn't see that when Slade planted the whatever thing in the Titans," John said "Robin hesitated. True, they were his friends, but this made Slade hurt them. He could have developed a better strategy to rescue his friends instead of standing there wondering,"
"Here we are discussing whether or not we need the evaluation," Dr Fate reminded everyone.
Silence.
"So we are all agreed?" asked Superman.
Nods.
"Who is in favour of an evaluation?"
"Aye!" said John, Black Canary, Green Arrow, the Question, Batman and Wonder Woman.
"Who is not in favour of an evaluation?"
"Aye!" said Flash, Shayera and Aquaman.
"I think we have reached a decision. We will do the evaluation. I will call another meeting to discuss the details."
A/N: So how's it?
