The League of Assassins has been spotted in Gotham, thanks to Batman and Talia Al'Ghul. I intend to send a warning that Gotham is Bat-territory, and the League is not welcome. And I want it done with non-powered talent, and preferably Gotham based. To show the League that we are better than they are even at their own game.

I've tracked six members of the league. And although Shiva knows enough about me from her days as the 'Jade Canary' to stay out of sight most of the time, most of the rest are backward enough that I've tracked them down and want to hit them all simultaneously as a warning not to enter Gotham again.

Cass, you've faced Alpha before. And in truth, I think he wants to be caught. By you in particular. Could you take him please?

Dinah. Merlyn? You know how he fights. He shouldn't be much of a problem.

Dick. Think you could take Kyle Abbot? This would also be a blow against Intergang.

Roy, we could use you if possible for Mad Dog. If so, we'd be able to use Manhunter and Huntress as a team. And have Gypsy and Misfit as our reserves - otherwise both of them will need backup.

Tim? Ted? I want at least one of you helping me with comms. Timing is going to be critical with this. Especially as I'm going to be sending an additional message to Ra's and Talia at the same time. And also Whisper a'Daire of Intergang just to make my point.

And if that's all you were trying to do, I might leave you to it, even though it's my issue to deal with. As it is, you're about to try a lot more then just that.

This is a bad idea. You're going to be dealing with to many fronts.

Of course I'm going to try a lot more than you would. Have they yet got round to installing revolving doors on Arkham Asylum yet?

But seriously, I no more consider the League of Assassins a serious front than you ever did Killer Moth. They have four possibly credible threats (five if you count Whisper), and the rest is just extremely high grade muscle. Three of them will have beaten themselves before they've started and the fourth says, and I quote "There's no challenge in fighting someone in a wheelchair."

And when it comes to multiple fronts, if you would stop playing in the little leagues then I might not have so many to deal with.

I take care of my city. Clark can worry about the entire world if he wants.

Boys!

If the rest of the world falls, so will Gotham. And if Gotham has a disaster, people are more likely to help if you help them.

Besides, does the phrase "Defeat in Detail" mean nothing to you?

Seeing as you not only didn't ask, and said you weren't wanting my help, you're not really in a position to be berating me for not doing more.

Especially given how badly you've taken my involvement in the past.

I didn't want your help on this op because I can't recall a time when you haven't tried to take over and run things yourself. That in no way means I think you shouldn't be trying to run operations yourself. Just not mine. Or Dinah's.

I run operations. In my city.
