---

Supergirl has posed:
The Hall of Justice has been terribly quiet as of late, and with a thinner roster of Leaguers to call on, it made Supergirl's request that much more difficult. What was it this time, some off world mission or somesuch perhaps, that kept most of them terribly occupied?

Well, whatever it is, Supergirl still sent out a distress call, hoping that at least some Leaguers would answer. And then she patiently waited in the hall of justice..Well, okay, impatiently more like, anxiously pacing back and forth as she waits for a response to her call.

Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary arrives from her current home in Gotham, her blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail, her black pleather bodysuit and fishnets in place. She'd taken out a small cadre of arms smugglers a few hours ago and had just been preparing to go into normal life again when the call came out. Her suit was rapidly put back on and here she is.

"Supergirl," she says, making her way in from the arrival area, "What's on the clock?"

Supergirl has posed:
Supergirl turns around, glancing at the door as Black Canary arrives, and smiles faintly at the other blonde. "Heey, Canary.." she glances around the room and sighs. "Darn, when Superman did it, a hundred people would come. I guess the others must be doing something more important."

Of course, those shoes are hard to fill. Really hard. She looks tired, stressed. "I mean..What I mean to say is, thanks for coming. At least I know I can count on someone." She draws a deep breath, deciding no one else will be coming and pushes the door shut before she fumbles with a little control, pulling up a holographic projector.

"Okaay, this is what I know so far.." as she generates the projector, A large map of space appears, with numerous grids and sector numbers overlaid on the starfield. "Hey, by the way, have you ever been out in space before?"

Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary takes a seat, crossing her legs and leaning back, "Don't take it personally. Seems like people are being stretched thin lately, for one reason or another. But we'll get the job done, regardless of how many of us show up. Part of what we're here for," she says.

To the latter question, she smiles, "Uh, does being in orbit count? Otherwise, no, I haven't. I tend to be a little more close to the ground operative. I can't fly and I'm not invulnerable or anything. But I'll do whatever needs to be done."

Supergirl has posed:
Supergirl nods. "Oh, I know. I get it, there are a LOT of threats out there. And maybe this is just a personal stake for me, for reasons." Yes, reasons. The whole orbiting thing warrants a small smirk from her and she chuckles a bit. "Riight. Me too. For like, twenty years." give or take. Anyways, back to the matter at hand.

"Okaay, let's see..." she files through the sectors, trying to zone in on a specific area, which looks to be little more than deep space, with not much life around. "Okay, here we are..Sector 5778, 789, 4798, 122. To be honest, I dunno much about space, buut. The Guardians of the Galaxy were attacked out there, and their ship was stranded."

She shrugs. "Soo, we need to find 'em and bring 'em back. And we need to do it quickly, because there's apparently a brood territory nearby, oh, and a Kree/Skrull battleground not far from there too, they're encroaching further out of their territory all the time."

And as if that's not enough of a worry, she clears her throat and adds. "Oh yeah, and Mon-El has been captured, and/or turned into a brood..Thingy.." Supergirl waves her hands, trying to explain. She's never met the Brood but heard of them. She's not entirely sure how it works or if it's even too late to help him, but all the same, she seems pretty worried.

Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary does inwardly think that a lot of this stuff seems out of her league. But she's not about to admit that out loud, much less back down from a challenge. She's done impossible things before and come away with the win. She can do it again.

"How exactly are we going to find them? Do they have any sort of homing or tracking beacons? Do we actually have a spaceship that can take us there? And what's a brood thingy? Or do we even know?" she says. She does see the concern on Kara's face, though, and keeps her tone calm, "Hey, I know you and he are close. We'll figure it out and get him home. That's what the Justice League does."

Supergirl has posed:
Supergirl would normally think this is out of her league too, but y'know, personal stakes in the matter. And while she's not a space explorer, well..."Yes, yes, I know, it's a little...Out there.." more hand-wavy movements are made. "And yes, I know, it seems beyond us, but hey, I'm calling in the titans to help too. I've acquired permission to use the Justice League Starcruiser."

"Soo, Star-Lord did give me co-ordinates and a quick run-down of the situation. We have a spaceship of course, and we have qualified piloting crew.." Hey, Justice League thought of everything afterall. Good thing too. Supergirl may be an alien herself, but aside from learning basic skills to pilot her own personal pod, she's not much of a space pilot at all.

"Okaay, so I checked out some files in the Justice League's library. The Brood are apparently some sorta...Alien parasite thingies that infect and control and eventually take over their hosts? Sooo..I'm hoping we can...Stop that from happening."

Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary stands up and walks over to get a look at a few of the details herself, "Sounds nasty," she says. "Do we know if they have any weaknesses? Have hosts been separated from them successfully in the past?" she asks. She's looking through the files herself, her experienced fingers dancing over the touchscreen as she goes through the archives looking for data.

"The Titans are good kids, hopefully they can help. But even if it's just you and me, we'll tap into a little girl power and put them on their asses," she says. She might need to gear up, get some heavy weaponry to take along with her.

Supergirl has posed:
There is only very limited information to be found on the Brood. Not much beyond insectoid alien lifeforms that live in the milky way galaxy, that inject their alien eggs into hosts and most likely kill their hosts in the process. "I don't really know.." she sighs, "But we don't have much time to do in depth research. We'll just have to hope Star-Lord has more information on the case."

As for the Titans, Supergirl just chuckles, 'They're not really kids anymore, and they kinda broke up, went their separate ways. Til recently anyway. I just hope I can get them to work as a team, and stop bickering amongst them selves. But, y'know, I'm not really the leader type, but right now, I'm the best that they've got. So I'll have to do."

She smiles, "I'm counting on your superior experience and skills, and I'll bet your killer cry will work quite well against those creatures. We should be able to find some basic if limited space gear in the star ship. I've contacted the star crew and they are prepping the ship now."

Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary nods, "Looks like we have a few spacesuits in my size. Might not be custom to my measurements, but I can't show off my legs in everything," she says with a wry grin.

"Hopefully the atmospherics will be hospitable. Can't really do my Canary Cry if I have to keep my head in a glass bowl so I don't suffocate. But I'll bring along a plasma rifle just in case."

"And I didn't mean to sound dismissive. I know they're older now, I've just been in this business too long," she winks.

Supergirl has posed:
Supergirl sighs, "Right..I didn't even think of that. Well, who knows how this will go down? I mean, maybe we'll invade Brood territory, in which case we'll need all the physical help we can get. Or maybe we'll just be able to sneak in, extract Mon-El, pick up the stranded Guardians and flee before anyone knows the better.."

Yeah, all these little details that Supergirl didn't even consider. She's all just rearing to go. Superman would have thought of all those things in advance. Dammit!

Canary's cute comment about a sexy spacesuit does cause her to smile just a bit, relaxing somewhat. "Ooh, that would be cool, but I guess we'll all be stuck in these clunky things.." well, they will be. Supergirl can hold her breath for 7 hours and a spacesuit would get in the way of her using her superpowers.

"Yeaah, it's okay, I know Batman wanted to start this crazy mentorship program recently, pair off the Titans with more experienced Justice Leaguers, which admittedly is about 5 years too late. But he had a point, the world doesn't take us Titans as seriously as Justice Leaguers."

Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary shrugs, "It doesn't matter how people see us. What matters is what we get done. Kudos are great, but they don't save lives," she says.

"Stealth extraction might be the best bet if we're low on firepower. I'd say you're firepower enough in your own right, but Mon-El, if I recall, has a similar powerset and somehow he got taken down. Maybe they took him off guard or caught him unwary. I know that won't happen to you," she says encouragingly. "But saving people has to be our first priority. If we have to deal with the rest of the Brood on another day, that's just fine."

"Batman makes a lot of plans. It's kind of his thing."

Supergirl has posed:
Supergirl nods and sighs. "Yeaah...Just..Well. I guess I have my own..Issues lately. See, some weirdo guy in a green armoured suit attacked me recently. And whatever he injected me with, well..I'm not entirely sure what he injected me with, but...Hopefully it doesn't interfere with the mission." she shivers, hugging her arms. "I just..I can't just leave Lar out there, being infected by Brood aliens. I don't even know if I can help him if/when we find him, but I gotta try, right?"

Black Canary has posed:
Black Canary nods, "Yup. Gotta try," she reassures. "And that's nothing to laugh off. Sounds like, once we get this Brood thing under control, the next order of business is finding this armored guy and making him pay. And figuring out what he's put into you," she sighs. They definitely need a capable in-house scientist. Maybe that Bruce Banner guy she'd been talking to could be of help.

Supergirl has posed:
Supergirl smiles and nods. "Yeah, definitely. I already put in some calls, although it seems I've been having trouble getting ahold of several scientists. I've been thinking, maybe Dr. Henry McCoy or maybe Bruce Banner could help. Although the latter is more a physicist, isn't he? I dunno.." she shrugs, "I suppose the Avengers have their own problems to worry about too.."

Alright, let's see...She sifts through her files and notes that she made. "Phew, superman sure makes everything look so easy, leading a superhero team into the middle of space to fight aliens..I feel like I'm waay over my head. I'm just glad you'll be there."
