Supergirl has posed:
Supergirl was on the Watchtower, sitting in the Justice Hall area in one of the chairs there. It was on the opposite side from the 'big three' as she liked to think of them. Superman's was in the middle of those and she was pointedly staring at it.

Not actually at it. Her mind was on other things.

He was back now. She wasn't having to carry that burden of his loss on her shoulders, though she still did in some ways. But the experience of him being gone had taught her a very important lesson.

She wasn't ready.

There were lots of superhero teams out there and the Justice League was one of the biggest. Right up there with the Avengers. Yet, she didn't feel she was really ready for a seat at this table now after her experience.

She had sent a message out to Willow. Asking for the other woman to meet her to chat about something. Thus, she waited and her mind continued to wander to the little idea starting to grow in her mind.

Willow Rosenberg has posed:
Willow took the last cookies. No matter *why* she was brought to the League of Justice, there was *always* a need for cookies. When she cleared security, even though she belonged here (sorta), she let herself into the main meeting room.

"Hi," Willow looks around the room. "Oh.. only us?" Then she remembers, "I brought cookies. Oatmeal chocolate raisin." She beams.

Supergirl has posed:
"I've had oatmeal raisin and I've had chocolate cookies, but never together," Supergirl says as she rises, waving for Willow to take one of the open seats. Even as she takes one of the cookies. A quick nibble and she smiles, obviously happy with the blend.

Once she has swallowed her treat, she gives a nod. "Just us for now. I am reaching out to some of the people who I think might be feeling more like me." Not that she has explained that. She tries to fix that first.

"After Superman was gone, I tried to fill his boots. I don't feel like I did a good job, though he seems to disagree. But I realized, some of us are still starting out and, while we can help the League, we aren't really the Big Boots yet. Like you are apprentice to Constantine but not quite on level with him or Zatanna. I'm like a Superman Light. Just was wondering if we would be better in our own version of a training team or something?"

Willow Rosenberg has posed:
"I saw them in a book. I would put more chocolate and less raisins next time." In other words, twice the chocolate and none of the raisins.

Eating one herself, she has to agree. "I know what you mean. There was so much to do, but how? You did wonderful by the way." A pause. "Sometimes I feel like, well, lost. Please don't tell anyone, please? But it's true." Adding, "John is gone."

Supergirl has posed:
That makes Supergirl wince a little bit. "He does stuff like that. Disappears. Zatanna too. I think it is a magic people thing. Keep doing what you are doing and you'll understand it more since you'll likely start doing it too," she says with a sage nod, as though this is a wise thing and she knows what she is talking about. She doesn't. But it seemed likely in her head.

"And thanks. I tried but I just couldn't do as much as he did. I mean, I had help too. Other heroes pitching in but still, just wasn't quite enough. So, I want to start a group with some of us junior types. So we can start working together, train. Figure out how to be a team and how to deal with things. Have the big guys as our mentors still and support the Justice League but still recognize that we are more trainees. Alpha Flight has something similar. They have a team that is Gamma Flight, the younger members who are still learning. We could do something like that here."

Willow Rosenberg has posed:
Willow makes an interested noise. "You mean.. sort of like a training wheels program. Only no training wheels.." She thinks for a second. "Actually it would help senior members of the Justice League. They wouldn't have bother the little guys, and we would get practice. Kinda a win-win. I like it."

"Yes," Willow smirks, "what do you want of me?"

Supergirl has posed:
"Just to see if you thought it was a good idea. I mean we would still be part of the League. Just, we would spend time working together and training. Maybe some of the Big Boots would be willing to help train us, maybe not. But either way, we members of the Junior side would try to work together and build our teamwork, strategy, tactics, power use, and all that stuff to get to be better than we are now."

Willow Rosenberg has posed:
"D'uh of course. But there has to be things they would rather not deal with. But still need something more potent than the police. Even if we turned over to them when we are done." She nods. "And you are the perfect person to head it up!"

Supergirl has posed:
Supergirl has to grin at that but then she shrugs, looking a little embarassed. "I don't know about that. I mean, right now it's just an idea. And just the two of us. For now!"

There is that positive side again. The one that she is better known for. "If you know anyone that might be good for it, we can get with the League and see about getting this all official like."

Willow Rosenberg has posed:
"Half the battle is looking like you know, and the other half is giving the right jobs to the right folks. You'll be fine. Trust me." Willow nods. "Now, who do we get.."
