Chapter 321 Batman: Behave Yourself
Judging from Yang Le's tightly shut eyes, it was easy to see that his vision still hadn't recovered. Directly facing a Flashbang is incredibly damaging to most Creatures.
Normally, after being hit by a Flashbang, most Creatures would lose their vision for more than two minutes, lose their hearing for about five minutes, and lose their spatial positioning Ability for more than thirty seconds.
Even Aqualad was affected to that extent, not to mention Yang Le, who directly faced the Flashbang. All the symptoms mentioned above appeared on Yang Le. For Creatures, this is unavoidable.
Vision and hearing are okay, but the most important thing is the dizziness in the Brain, which directly deprives him of the Ability to stand up. The world was spinning, and Yang Le couldn't even tell if he was standing or lying down.
If it were an ordinary Alien Hero, Yang Le might have directly lost his fighting Ability. Fortunately, he transformed into Shocksquatch. Relying on his own Electricity resistance, Yang Le stimulated his Brain with a weak Electric Current, greatly reducing the time of dizziness.
It's a pity that his vision and hearing still haven't recovered, but the wonderful uses of Electromagnetic are more than that. Electricity and Magnetism are inseparable. Shocksquatch can generate Electromagnetic Wave by itself, although it is very difficult to operate.
At least in Yang Le's opinion, it might be much simpler for Feedback to operate, but it is barely enough for the current situation.
Relying on the Electromagnetic Wave emitted from the Bolts on his Body, Yang Le barely drew a Map in his Brain in the absence of vision and hearing. After knowing the distribution of his Assistants, Yang Le launched a counterattack immediately.
Under the stimulation of Electric Current, Shocksquatch's Physical Ability has been greatly improved. Not only that, Yang Le also quietly set up an Electric Fence, just to prevent Kid Flash from escaping.
Amidst Kid Flash's Resentment about having to get a pair of Insulated Boots, Yang Le took down the Robin trio in one fell swoop. Now only Miss Martian and Speedy are left on the field.
Seeing his three Partners fall to the ground, Miss Martian was about to speak when Speedy, who had rushed over, covered her mouth.
'Calm down.' Speedy warned Miss Martian through Telepathy. 'Observe carefully, that Gorilla obviously lost his vision and hearing. This is all thanks to Robin's Flashbang. Now only the two of us can fight. We can't waste this last Opportunity.'
'Hey. Megan.' Miss Martian recited her Catchphrase in her Heart, forcing herself to Calm down. Although she is forty years old according to Earth Method, she is just an underage Girl according to Martian calculation Method.
Moreover, before coming to Earth, Megan had never actually experienced combat. Martian Manhunter had trained her in the past few days, but this was still her first actual combat, and it was indeed a bit difficult for her to experience such a big battle for the first time.
After calming down her Mood, Megan nodded, and her Eyes revealed unprecedented firmness. Speedy then let go of her.
'Although he has lost his vision and hearing, he obviously has other positioning Methods.' Speedy took the Bow back in his Hand. 'Based on his Discharge and magnetic Ability, I infer that he can also generate Electromagnetic Wave by himself, and he can locate our Position by emitting Electromagnetic Wave.'
'Then why didn't he come to us?' Megan looked at the Shocksquatch standing in Original Place, shaking his head as if searching for a Goal even though his Eyes were tightly closed. If it was really as Roy said, why didn't the opponent take advantage of the situation after knocking down Robin and the others to take them down as well?
Roy didn't speak, but just pointed his Finger at the Position where he had stood before to cover everyone. There, a strange-looking Arrow was inserted, and small Electric Current was constantly gushing out from it.
'Electromagnetic Interference Arrow, originally used to interfere with some Robots, but unexpectedly it has come in handy here.' Speedy drew another Arrow from his Quiver. 'But based on the Energy it carries, it can last for at most one minute. We don't have much Time.'
'It's okay.' Megan Comforted. 'The opponent can weaken my Mental Impact, and I can also use Mental Abilities to interfere with his Abilities.'
'That's really good News.' Speedy reluctantly Corner of Mouth. 'But it is very likely that the two of us can't solve him, not to mention that he has more Hostage now. No one can say for sure whether the opponent will do anything desperate in this embarrassing situation.'
'Then what should we do?' Megan asked anxiously. After all, she had too little Experience. Her Brain is now, if not blank, can be said to be a mess.
Speedy thought for a Second before saying: 'I will hold him back, and you are responsible for going out to call for Reinforcements.'
'Wait, you want me to leave you behind?', Megan widened her Eyes. 'You can't be his opponent alone.'
Speedy glanced at the Quiver behind him. There were three Arrows left in it. Including the one in his Hand, there were a total of four. He was about to run out of ammunition.
'I know, that's why I said hold him back.' Speedy glared at Megan. 'You are a Martian. As long as you use your own peculiar little Abilities, you must be faster than me. You can also fly, so you are a better messenger than me.'
'Don't argue with me about this matter anymore.' Roy no longer gave Miss Martian a chance to speak, and put the Arrow on the Bow. 'If you continue to waste Time, and wait for him to recover, it will increase the difficulty for me.'
After speaking, Speedy immediately shot the sharp Arrow in his Hand, ignoring Megan behind him. Seeing this, Megan could only bite her Teeth, flew towards the Wall next to her, and phased through it.
"Okay Bigfoot Yeti!" Speedy no longer hid himself. Although he knew that the other party couldn't hear him, he still shouted loudly, just to make as much noise as possible to attract Yang Le's attention.
"Let us see what else you can do!"

"Huh!"
After spending a Second to wake up, Dick sat up immediately. His Memory was still stuck when he was fighting Shocksquatch, so after waking up, he sat up immediately, ready to counterattack.
But when he saw the Environment around him clearly, he thought he hadn't woken up, because the Justice League members who should have been locked on the Cross were now standing beside them, watching them.
Especially Batman, standing beside him, staring at him with indifferent Eyes.
"Awake?" Batman asked in a hoarse voice.
"Uh." Dick nodded subconsciously. "I should be awake."
"That's good, go stand over there."
Following Batman's Finger, Dick saw the other Assistants. They were standing in the Corner dejectedly, like Students being punished.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 322 Young Justice League
Although he didn't know what had happened, Batman's majesty, combined with some inner turmoil, meant that by the time Dick came to his senses, he was already standing next to Wally, joining the ranks of those being punished.
"You finally woke up, sleepyhead."
Dick had just steadied himself when Wally's voice echoed in his brain. He knew instantly it was Megan's telepathy.
"What exactly happened?" Dick ignored Wally's taunt. "Weren't the Justice League attacked? Why does everyone look fine?"
Just as Dick said, the uniforms of the Justice League members who had been tied to the Cross were tattered, clearly showing signs of a fierce battle. Yet, everyone he had just seen was completely unharmed. If it weren't for the traces of their fight still visible in the Hall, Dick would have thought it had all been a dream.
"Actually, we're not entirely sure either," Megan's voice chimed in. "After you all passed out, it was just Roy and me. Roy's plan was to hold off the enemies while I went to get help."
"But while I was escaping, I bumped into Uncle J'onn J'onzz, who should have been tied to the Cross," Megan's voice was incredulous. "He stopped me and brought me back to the Hall. When we got back, I saw you guys collapsed and the Justice League members completely unharmed."
"Guys, I think we might have been played," Dick guessed, piecing together the events.
The others wanted to continue talking, but the Justice League members approached them, including Yang Le in his Flashfreeze form. Even though they knew telepathy wouldn't be overheard by the adults, they all fell silent, like children whispering secrets.
"I presume you've already guessed," Batman said, opening the conversation. "This was a test for you."
"I knew it," Dick sighed. He didn't need to guess to know his performance wouldn't be good; after all, they had been defeated in the end.
"Robin."
Even though Dick was mentally prepared, he still jumped slightly at Batman's voice. He immediately stood ramrod straight, as proper as a real Boy Scout.
"During the attack in the Safe Room, you reacted instantly after inhaling the Hypnotic Gas, sending me an SOS signal. In the subsequent operation, you also minimized your presence and provided assistance to your partner at crucial moments. These two aspects you did very well, but..."
As everyone knows, what comes after "but" is always the most important. Dick wasn't overly... okay, he was still a little pleased when Batman praised him, but he knew the real critique was coming.
"However, after defeating the opponent, you didn't immediately confirm the enemy's state, nor did you rescue the hostage. While helping up your fallen teammate is commendable, the choice you made afterward was simply appalling. If this hadn't been a test, you would have already lost your lives."
Dick lowered his head. Batman was right; he had relaxed his alert after seeing Yang Le fall. That alone was enough to make him feel ashamed.
"Aqualad."
Batman shifted his focus, turning to Aqualad beside him.
"Your performance in the Safe Room was commendable. In the subsequent battle, you also fulfilled your duty, diligently trying to restrain an enemy whose physical ability far surpassed your partner's. As for the actions after defeating the enemy, you were directly hit by a flashbang, so the fault isn't yours. Overall, your performance is satisfactory."
"Kid Flash." Batman turned to Wally, who was desperately trying to shrink into himself. "Reckless—that single word is enough to evaluate your entire performance. Abandoning your teammates to enter an unknown area alone, and then getting captured by the enemy. If this hadn't been a test, you might have caused your teammates to lose their lives because of it."
Ignoring Wally, who was practically trying to disappear into his own chest, Batman shifted his focus to Roy and Megan.
"Speedy, your support was good, but as a marksman, you should also be responsible for information gathering. That means you should have been watching the fallen enemy. Yet, the enemy had already reached your teammate's side, and you had no reaction."
"Miss Martian, as a Martian, you possess the same superpower as Martian Manhunter. Your telepathy communication was excellent, but why didn't you use mental impact on the enemy?"
Megan quickly replied, "Because mental impact has very little effect on the opponent."
"Weak doesn't mean nonexistent," Batman said, his eyes flickering, as if lost in thought. "And your physical ability should be comparable to Aqualad's. Why didn't you assist him in attacking from the side?"
"Because Dick didn't assign me such a mission," Megan said hesitantly. "And also, I haven't had any combat training, so I was afraid of getting in the way. I only dared to use mental abilities for support."
Batman glanced at J'onn J'onzz beside him and nodded after receiving confirmation.
"Alright, that's understandable. Escaping to seek help afterward was a good decision."
"That was Speedy's idea," Megan mumbled quietly.
"Reckless, arrogance, lack of alertness, too childish," Batman continued, ignoring Megan's comment. "This is our evaluation of you in this simulation test."
"Frankly, your performance doesn't befit the identity of full Justice League members. Therefore, regarding your application to join the Justice League, we have unanimously decided to reject it."
Robin sighed in resignation. Wally scratched his hair, looking frustrated. Jackson lowered his head in shame. Roy clenched his fist, wanting to argue but finding no reason. Megan clutched the hem of her uniform, her head drooping in dejection.
"But!"
Just as mentioned before, what comes after "but" is always the most important. The assistants lifted their heads in confusion. Could there be a turning point?
"The positive aspects of your performance in this test can't be ignored either," Superman said, stepping forward with a smile. He stood to Batman's right, creating a symmetrical image of a smiling face and a cold face.
"And the fact that you achieved this level of cooperation in just one attempt is truly surprising to us. So, after discussion, we've decided to let you continue working together."
"What does that mean?" Dick asked, a little dazed, not understanding Superman's meaning.
"Young Justice League," Batman announced, uttering a term none of them had heard before. "You can think of it as the reserve of the Justice League. We've created it specifically for you. It's a subordinate organization of the Justice League, receiving instructions from the Justice League to complete missions."
"And that's not all," Superman added, seeing their daze and dropping another bombshell. "You'll have your own base—Mount Justice. As for your leader..."
The others parted, revealing Yang Le, who had been standing behind, slacking off in his Flashfreeze form.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 323 You Have a Good Eye for People
Regarding the formation of the Young Justice League, Yang Le was not very surprised. After all, he could see that the Justice League in this Universe was still in its early stages. The adult Superheroes had only become famous for two or three years. Here, "famous" refers to being well-known, not their debut.
Only these assistants had participated in the Superhero business for an even shorter time. Except for Dick, he was the earliest assistant in the Young Justice League. He became Robin as early as nine years old, and now at thirteen, he already has four years of work experience, even more than some adult Superheroes.
This indicates that many Big Events that should have occurred in other Universes have not yet happened, and of course, it is also possible that they will not happen at all. After all, Yang Le's appearance has definitely changed a lot of history. But there is no need to worry, because Yang Le now has Credentials from The Presence and is certified to work. So, he is indeed a pure DC Universe native, and no one can find fault with him.
However, becoming the guardian of the Young Justice League, this was a bit... well, it was completely beyond his expectations. After all, no one had discussed this with him, and he himself hadn't expected it. He originally thought he was just a temporary worker, but in the blink of an eye, he had become permanent.
'Could it be that Wayne Group urgently needs an accountant?' Yang Le joked to himself in his heart.
Although it was the first time hearing this Shocking news, Yang Le, who had just learned Poker Face, did not show any Shock, forming a stark contrast with the members of the Young Justice League.
"That Gorilla is going to be our guardian?" The impulsive Wally shouted directly. His partner beside him and Flash opposite them both covered their faces.
Although what everyone was thinking in their hearts might not be so pleasant, saying it directly like this is definitely not good. A gentleman is judged by his actions, not his thoughts. Someone like Wally who says it directly can only be praised for being consistent in word and deed.
'You're going to get yourself into trouble like this,' Dick reminded Wally via Telepathy.
Sure enough, although Yang Le didn't get angry, he still smirked and said, "This Gorilla is about to become your Leader, and I've also thought about your first Mission."
"Gulp!" Wally swallowed his Saliva and asked with a flattering Smile, "W-what Mission is it? Sir?"
"It's a very glorious Mission." Yang Le used the Face of Way Big to put on the same righteous expression as Superman. "All the Toilets in Justice Mountain will be under your jurisdiction from now on, Soldier. Strive to eliminate filth!"
Cleaning the Toilet can be said to be a very American-style punishment. Don't look at Kid Flash's face full of rejection; in fact, Yang Le is already very merciful.
The Young Justice League members might not know, but Yang Le, who participated in the preliminary preparations, was very clear. You should know that Justice Mountain has been abandoned for a long time. Even if some Devices are still usable, they are already outdated. After all, the progress of Technology is very rapid.
Moreover, this is the American Comics Universe. The level of Devices inside Justice Mountain has been left far behind. Therefore, the wealthy Batman and Green Arrow, along with Aquaman, who is also also not short of Money, replaced everything inside Justice Mountain. The Toilets are so new they can be used as Mirrors.
But Wally didn't know this. He was still immersed in the pain of having to scrub Toilets. The Young Justice League members who also didn't know the Inside Story could only cast helpless glances. But the adults who knew the Inside Story were also uncomfortable, struggling to hold back their laughter.
"I'm sorry, before Wally runs off to scrub Toilets, all of you have another Business to do," Green Arrow stood up and pointed to the mess created by the battle just now.
"That is to clean up your Base. Don't worry about Money; we adults will take care of it. But the physical work must be done by yourselves. This is also considered a punishment for your previous performance."
"Oh, darn it!" Wally, who received double the Work, couldn't help but hold his head. His partners also sighed one after another.
——————Divider Line——————
"How come I've never heard of this guardian thing?" Yang Le asked, following behind Batman.
Because today was a holiday, the Young Justice League members naturally stayed behind to do preliminary Work for the repair of the Base. Although Yang Le had a Measure in his actions, the Young Justice League members had just experienced a major battle after all. They definitely wouldn't be made to do dirty and tiring Work right now.
Now, they are just being asked to clean up the Battlefield and, by the way, cultivate their Feelings. Post-battle camaraderie among comrades is the most important thing.
Yang Le followed the others from the Justice League and left together, mainly to ask the questions raised above.
"Don't mention it, buddy." Green Arrow patted Yang Le's waist. Because Yang Le was still in the form of Way Big, Green Arrow couldn't pat his Shoulder, so he had to settle for second best.
"Even we didn't know Batman's decision. I originally thought he would choose one of us."
"Everyone in the Justice League has their own Duty and City under their jurisdiction. Rashly transferring someone might cause Problems," Batman explained.
"So you chose me?" Yang Le pointed at himself. "But why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
"Because I also came up with it on the spur of the moment," Batman said with a Poker Face, making it impossible to tell whether he was telling the truth or not.
"I know you are traveling, so I guessed you should be very free. Of course, if you are unwilling, you can also refuse, and I will find someone else."
"But I'm not even a member of the Justice League?" Yang Le shrugged his Shoulders. "Putting aside others, Speedy definitely won't listen to the Orders of an unemployed vagrant like me."
Green Arrow's Face fell. He also had a headache about the Speedy Problem.
"Now you are," Batman reached out and flicked out a Black Dot the size of a fingernail. Yang Le reached out and caught it in his Hand, discovering it was an Earphone-like Device.
"Justice League Communicator. I discussed it with Superman and Wonder Woman, and we unanimously agreed that you should become a member of the Justice League."
Superman and Wonder Woman complained inwardly because they had not discussed this matter with Batman. However, they knew that Batman must have his Reason for saying this, so even if they had doubts in their Hearts, they would not undermine Batman at this time. If there was anything, they could wait until later to chat privately.
"Uh, okay." Yang Le pinched the Communicator. Although he didn't reject being a Nanny, everything had happened too fast, making him a bit bewildered.
"I remember your Savings shouldn't be much," Batman said, looking at Yang Le pouting his Corner of Mouth, knowing that he still had some complaints in his Heart.
Recalling that he had checked Yang Le's Bank Account under Wayne Group not long ago out of curiosity about where Yang Le got the Money to buy the RV/Motorhome, and found that Yang Le had little Money left after buying the RV/Motorhome, he then said.
"I won't let you work for nothing. I will offer you a good Salary."
"You Have a Good Eye for People!"
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 324: Fledgling Birds Will Eventually Fly Alone
Let's be clear, Yang Le agreed to Batman's request not for the money, but because it genuinely offered considerable convenience.
Firstly, agreeing to lead the team meant joining the Justice League. This would make it much easier for Yang Le to acquire DNA from other alien heroes. Superhero DNA aside, at the very least, he could get real-time locations of supervillains. Alien villains were not a small number, after all. So, Yang Le wasn't in it for the money.
Secondly, the governments of various nations in this universe held a favorable view of the Justice League, which was composed of superhumans. Many nations gave superheroes the green light. This identity could bring Yang Le a lot of convenience. So, Yang Le wasn't in it for the money.
Thirdly, they were offering far too much. It wasn't just Batman who was paying; Green Arrow and Aquaman also chipped in. After all, Batman had mentioned that Yang Le didn't have a job, and his own kid was under Yang Le's guardianship. For a billionaire like Oliver Queen, this amount of money was really nothing.
As for Aquaman, he didn't contribute money, but instead told Yang Le to ask if he had any needs. As long as he could manage it, he would try his best to satisfy them. After all, with the salary offered by two super tycoons, Yang Le would basically never be short of money.
Aquaman's promise was the reason that truly moved Yang Le. The mineral deposits in the deep sea, the countless resources in the deep sea, these were the real treasure. So, Yang Le really wasn't in it for the money.
As for Yang Le's original travel plan, strictly speaking, it wouldn't be delayed. After all, the Justice League had to deal with super villains all over the Earth, and they had to go everywhere. Yang Le's main mission as a guardian was to ensure the teenagers weren't killed or injured. Normally, he wouldn't participate in missions. When he was free, Yang Le could completely wander around.
Traveling around and getting so much money, it was simply a sweet job. Of course, Yang Le wasn't in it for the money.
——————Divider Line——————
"Now can we talk?" Wonder Woman Diana asked Batman in front of her.
After Yang Le agreed to be the guardian, the Justice League dispersed. But the Big Three, relying on their years of tacit understanding, secretly gathered together again after leaving. The location was the Batcave.
"Bruce," Superman softly spoke his friend's name. "Why did you let Yang Le join the Justice League? And you said Diana and I agreed too. You know that generally, for someone to join the Justice League, they need to get the consent of more than half of the members."
The 'more than half of the members' mentioned here, of course, doesn't refer to half of all members of the League, but half of the main members, that is, the initial members when the Justice League was founded plus a few who were qualified in strength, also known as veterans or Big Three.
And as the Big Three at the center of the Justice League, they naturally had some privileges that everyone tacitly understood. If the Big Three agreed on something together, then that matter would mostly pass directly, just like Yang Le joining the League just now.
But most of the time, the opinions of the Big Three were not unified. After all, the differences in the growth environment of the Big Three were really too great. Although the three all held justice in their hearts, their worldviews were different, so this privilege had basically not been used a few times.
But today, Batman actually used the privilege without prior notice. This made the other two Big Three confused, especially a certain Kryptonian who had abandoned his Super Brain for an External Brain.
"Just like I said just now," Batman sat down in his seat. Only when he was with his two good friends would he be so relaxed.
"I just came up with it on the spur of the moment. This idea came to me after seeing Dick and the others' cooperation."
"What do you mean?"
Clark and Diana also found seats and sat down. From their practiced movements, it could be seen that the two had visited the Batcave quite often.
"Originally, based on the assistants' performance, I wanted to let them return to their respective heroes to learn for a while longer, but there were two reasons that made me change my idea."
Batman pressed the button on the Supercomputer. Information about Yang Le immediately appeared on the screen, including Human, XLR8, Brainstorm, Big Chill, and a question mark.
"These are the forms that Yang Le can transform into that we currently know of." Batman pointed to those alien heroes respectively. "The human form goes without saying. That blue form possesses speed force. That mad scientist, according to Green Arrow's report, like Big Chill, possesses the ability to release and control electromagnetic, but it's unclear which is stronger or weaker."
"What about this one?" Diana pointed to the question mark in the corner.
"This one was reported by Shazam," Batman explained. "According to him, he was fighting Black Adam at the time, but he didn't know when he fell asleep. I think Black Adam fell asleep just like him, so I speculate that Yang Le also has a form that can make people fall into slumber, and I have reason to speculate that he has even more forms."
"Is there a problem with this?" Superman asked.
"The problem is big, Clark." Batman's eyes flickered. "We don't know what the principle of his transformation ability is? Magic or technology? If it's magic, it's still okay, but if it's technology, then what do you guess the source of these abilities is?"
"Turning a human into a completely different creature, the only thing I can think of is gene modification. If that's the case, then he definitely needs a lot of DNA to have so many forms."
Batman stared at the two, and said seriously, "If he really has ulterior purpose, I guess he might be aiming for the DNA of those superhumans in the League, especially you two, Clark, Diana."
After listening to Batman's speculation, Superman and Wonder Woman also became serious. If it was really as Batman speculated, then no matter what Yang Le wanted to do, his danger level would be greatly increased.
"But these are just my speculations," Batman turned off the Supercomputer. "So, in order to better monitor Yang Le, I let him join the Justice League and made him the guardian of the assistants. This can ensure that he is always in our line of sight."
"But if Yang Le is really a dangerous element, then aren't the assistants in danger?" Superman frowned.
"Relying on themselves, to contact and discover Yang Le's true identity, this is their first mission." Batman turned around, not letting anyone see his expression, but for two superhumans, this had no effect.
"We can't protect them for a lifetime, Clark. The difficulties we faced when we debuted were no less than theirs, but we still persevered to this day. So I believe they can do it too, I even believe they can do better."
"Fledgling Birds will eventually fly alone," Batman's tone was firm, as if he was persuading his two good friends, and also as if he was persuading himself.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 325 Martian
Yang Le, who wouldn't bow down for Money, got up early the next day. There was no way around it; Batman and Green Arrow had deposited his first month's Salary into his Account after the Meeting. He still needed to abide by the basic principle of doing Business for Money.
Moreover, there was indeed a lot of Work to do in the Base. For example, the Hall that served as the Battlefield during the Test was also where the Young Justice League trained. It could also be used for other things, making it a multi-purpose Hall.
However, the once tidy Hall was now a mess. Not to mention the Equipment that was originally installed, even the Metal Floor was broken and tattered. The culprit behind all this was actually Yang Le. The biggest damage caused by the teenagers was Roy's few Arrows.
When he Teleportation to Mount Justice, Yang Le found that he wasn't the first to arrive. Martian Girl Megan had already started laying new flooring, using her Heat Vision to weld the Metal Floor firmly together.
Beside Megan was a woman with dazzling blonde hair. She wore a neat Black Leather Jacket on her upper body and a Black Uniform that resembled a one-piece Swimsuit. Her slender and healthy legs were even more alluring wrapped in Black Fishnet Stockings, and her feet, encased in Black Boots, were even more captivating.
This sexy and mysterious woman in all black was Black Canary Dinah, Green Arrow's old flame. The two were considered a model couple in the DC Universe, although they had their moments of being distant. But compared to another Billionaire's relationship history, theirs was much better.
The World-shocking runaway bride incident couldn't be explained away with just a bad performance.
"I thought I'd be the first one here," Yang Le said, waving his Hand to attract their attention.
"Um... who are you?" Megan asked somewhat shyly.
"He is your Guardian, Megan," Black Canary Dinah said, flicking her blonde hair. Like her Hero persona, Black Canary's Sound was very pleasant.
"He's Mr. Yeti you've been mentioning to me. Don't you remember?"
"You're Mr. Yeti?" Megan asked with disbelief. "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it. After all, the difference between you and yesterday is just too big."
"No, you're not in Human Form right now. Mr. Yang Le, please forgive me. I just think the Name Mr. Yeti is Cute. Of course, if you mind, I won't call you that anymore."
Megan looked a little flustered, as if afraid that Yang Le would dislike her. She hurriedly explained to Yang Le. Black Canary was a bit surprised. Even if she was worried that the Nickname she gave him would annoy Yang Le, there was no need for such a big reaction, right?
Moreover, Yang Le himself hadn't even reacted yet, and Megan had already gone all out with her skills. This was somewhat different from the Personality the girl had shown when she was with her.
It was normal for Black Canary not to understand, but Yang Le knew the Reason. It was precisely because of the girl's Race. Unlike Martian Manhunter, Megan was a White Martian.
On Mars, there were three Races of Martian living there: Martian, Green Martian, and White Martian.
In the beginning, the numbers of these three Races were actually similar. However, appearances reflected the Heart. White Martians, just like their ferocious appearance, were mostly Evil by nature. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were born bad seeds.
Because of the Evil of the White Martians, their differences with the Green Martians grew larger and larger. Unsurprisingly, War broke out. In the end, the White Martians were defeated, but they were not exterminated. Instead, they were exiled.
And Megan was one of the White Martians. Megan was kind by nature, very different from her other Tribesmen. However, because of the various evils of the White Martians, Megan was always very inferior. After learning about Human aesthetics, she dared not show her true Face even more. Instead, she chose a retired Star as a template and slightly modified it to use as her Earth appearance.
The evil deeds of her Race and her ugly appearance were too heavy for an underage girl. This led to her inferiority complex and her personality of trying to please others. Knowing this, it's not difficult to understand why her reaction was so big.
Megan's Knowledge of Humans came partly from Martian Manhunter's teachings. J'onn J'onzz, having lived on Earth for a long Time, downloaded everything he knew to Megan. However, J'onn J'onzz was an adult, and his Knowledge was not comprehensive enough for an underage girl.
Therefore, Megan's Knowledge mostly came from her favorite Teen Romance Drama. American Teen dramas, well, you know, are definitely in a completely different direction from the Knowledge J'onn J'onzz gave her. This led to Megan being very confused when interacting with people.
Sometimes she was like a youthful and beautiful girl, such as giving Yang Le a Cute Nickname. Other times, she was a bit old-fashioned and serious, such as when communicating with Black Canary and apologizing to Yang Le.
"Relax, Megan," Yang Le said, waving his Hand to show he didn't mind. "I can feel that you don't have any Evil intentions, so there's no need for such a big reaction."
"I'm very sorry," Megan said, lowering her head. "I don't understand how to interact with Humans."
"It's normal," Yang Le said, opening a Cardboard Box and taking out an Instrument from inside. "The Method of communication for you Martians is completely different from that of Humans. It's indeed causing you to feel lost."
"As your Guardian, I have a Responsibility to help you improve these situations." Yang Le nonchalantly put the Instrument back into the Cardboard Box. Originally, he wanted to lecture while completing the repair Work, but in his Human State, he couldn't understand what these things were.
"So, Megan, no matter what Problem you have, you can ask me for advice," Yang Le said, turning his head to look at Black Canary. "Of course, if you're embarrassed to talk to me, you can also ask Black Canary for advice. I believe she should also be a member of the Guardians, right?"
"That's right," Black Canary said, walking over and extending her Right Hand. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Yang Le. Oliver mentioned you to me. Thank you for saving Roy."
"It's all I should do," Yang Le said, briefly shaking Hands with Black Canary. "Maybe it's precisely because of this that Batman chose me to be a Guardian?"
"Maybe," Black Canary said, looking at Yang Le with a smile, making it impossible to guess their Thoughts.
Afterwards, Yang Le further enlightened Megan, and everyone threw themselves back into the repair Work of the Base. To facilitate repairs, Yang Le transformed into a new Alien Hero.
"Mr. Yang Le," Megan said, covering her mouth and looking at Yang Le's new Form in Surprise. "If I didn't know you were a Human, I might really suspect your Race."
"As long as there's evidence, it's not impossible," Yang Le in Brainstorm State said, moving his Pincers, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance.
