Dick's POV

The chaos I had expected occurred as everyone, except for Bruce of course, began shouting in protest. My feeble attempts to calm them down did no good, so I resorted to shouting louder than they were.

"QUIET!"

They all, thankfully, stopped shouting and looked at me, Jason in particular, glaring at me furiously.

"How am I supposed to explain anything," I asked, calmly, "if you are all shouting over me?"

They didn't respond.

"That's what I thought," I said, "Now, can you please ask questions in a calm, orderly fashion?"

"Why?" Damian asked, abruptly, "why are you doing it?"

"There are 2 reasons," I replied, "the first being that you guys were threatened, although that's not why I actually agreed, I know you can handle yourselves. The main reason is a bit more complicated."

I paused for a moment before continuing.

"I just thought that if I took over, we could reshape the league, give it a makeover if you like. Simply change the way that things are done so that instead of training assassins, we train heroes. We kick out the corrupt ones and bring in new students, even possibly meta -humans who need guidance and we teach them. Basically, we turn it into a school for heroes, a sort of 'superhero academy'. "

They all just stared at me in surprise.

"You know, Goldie," Jason said, eventually, "I think that might just work."
