Mount Justice

October 01, 18:13 EDT

At the mountain Pietro was standing  in the main cavern with Zatara and Captain Marvel, watching Kaldur and Robin spar with one another while he munched on a protein bar. He watched as Robin did a back handspring to dodge one of Kaldur's attacks, the team leader charging after the small boy wonder. Robin sent a kick Kaldur's way but he leant back to avoid it, doing his own backwards hand spring to give himself distance. 

Pietro stopped watching when he felt the familiar tingle in his mind that meant his sister was establishing a psychic link. He kept his face neutral as he saw M'gann approach with Conner and Wolf. 

Pietro, you there?

Yes. What is it?

No need to sound so excited to talk to your twin, brat drahý. 

Sorry, Wands. I just...did you know Cheshire was going to tell Aqualad there is a mole on the team?

...I was made aware of the fact, yes.

And you didn't think to, oh, I don't know, warn me?

Pietro -

Is there anything else you aren't telling me, Wanda? We're supposed to be in this together.

We are in this together. I'm not keeping anything else from you.

Good. 

But I did connect with you to tell you that Poison Ivy's plant creatures are just a distraction. Her and the whole Injustice League were created to throw your team and the Justice League off the trail of the Light. It does not matter if you take them out. They are...disposable. 

Got it. The team and I can ruin their plan without hurting the Light. 

Exactly. 

Will you...will you be there?  With the Injustice League, I mean.

No. I am not disposable to the Light as of now. They need me.

Alright. Batman just walked in and turned the news on. 

Pietro, please be careful. Even if they are a front, the Injustice League still has some heavy hitters in their ranks. 

I'll be careful. You be careful as well, sestra.

Always.

Pietro watched the news coverage on the holographic computer, going to stand with the rest of his team. His eyes widened slightly when he saw the size of the plant creatures that Ivy had cooked up, impressed and slightly curious as to how she had managed it. 

"Should we get out there?" Robin asked, sounding a bit excited for action.

"No. The League will soon have the situation under control. That's not why I'm here. According to your intel, Sportsmaster and Scarlet Witch supplied Cadmus Blockbuster formula to Kobra."

"Who combined it with Bane's venom to create Kobra-Venom." Wally reminded everyone. 

"Which The Brain used to create his animal army." Robin added.

"And upgrade Wolf." Conner scratched Wolf's chin lovingly. 

"The Brain also used inhibitor collars, like the ones used at Belle Reve penitentiary." M'gann pointed out. 

"Batman is it possible that the plant thingy is on Kobra-Venom too?" Artemis inquired.

"Sure looks like it." Pietro mumbled.
