GHOST PROTOCOL {JLU/DP}

• ANNOUNCEMENT •

[A/N: My grandpa now lives with us and my family is currently in "move, move, move" mode. I'm literally sleeping on the floor. A.K.A., updates are gonna be sporadic. Sorry.]

"THE LEAGUE IS CONSULTING with a local expert who was out of town on the Amity Park case," Superman soothed over frayed nerves, used to dealing with it after years and years of it. "They are experienced and have inside connections,"
