Justice League: Secrets, Societies, and Truths by Mara
Secrets, Societies, and Truths (ensemble | G | 1,603 words) deals in the aftermath of the episode "Secret Society," where Grodd uses mental manipulation to split up the Justice League. Because the show did not address at all in later episodes the stuff that came out here, and this very much feels like it should have been a part of the show.
Excerpt:
"It is unusual to see Superman afraid."
He opened his mouth to deny it, but realized the futility of arguing with a telepath over what he was thinking. "Yes, afraid of watching someone get hurt."
"And what if the rest of us take this chance willingly, even eagerly? You do us an injustice."
Superman stared across the canyon, automatically noting the children running along the north rim, making sure their parents were watching them. The sun inched a bit lower in the sky and J'onn floated, apparently content to wait.
"I feel selfish," Superman said.
"In what way?"
"I'm afraid that I stay in the League so that I'm not alone. I don't want to endanger anyone because I'm lonely."
