Take Me Home Country Road (Decade rewind)

[Silv]

Clark rubbed at the back of his head sheepishly, his bright blue eyes moving to the side as Bruce reprimanded Dinah and Ollie. The Boy in Blue really didn't feel Batman had any right to be doing that, but there wasn't exactly much he could say about it without the attention turning to him and that really wasn't the point of this meeting. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, earning a look from Martian Manhunter, and decided it would be best to awkwardly settle with his hands in front of him on the polished table.

Superman gave the man in the cowl his full attention as Batman began to give them an overview. He so wasn't in Kansas anymore. Clark knew a lot of this information, but he didn't fully understand it. Sure, he had experience, but in the end, what did some farm boy actually know about fighting magic? He figured he'd let Batman and Ghost Dance take the lead and bounce in whenever they needed a human meat shield or somebody to smash through a door or something.

Seeing the kids broke Clark's overly sensitive heart. He tried not to let too much of the emotion show on his face but it was clear he didn't like it any more than the snarling Ghost Dance. Ollie's questions broke him out of the misery he felt wallowing just below the surface and he turned to look at the now fidgeting archer. Superman couldn't help but smile. Ollie could be brash and obnoxious at time, but he asked the right questions, and his heart was in a good place. Patience, the tilt of Superman's head silently implored as he waited for Batman to finish the briefing.

Ooc:
Yay filler post! I had nothing useful to add but posted anyway. Go me.

Dinah cleared her throat when she and Ollie was called out by the Bat. She rested one elbow on the table, fingers stroking her chin before she caught sight of Ollie over her shoulder, mocking the eye-squint that Bruce seemed to favor so much. She nearly busted out laughing, but instead kept her cool, grabbed a cup of coffee and sipped it, ignoring the fact that she had taken it black instead of her usual "a little coffee with her sugar".

She listened intently to what both the Bat and the wolf said, cringing at the slide with the photos of the children. They were just kids for crying out loud... why did they get themselves caught up in things like this? The Canary sat the mug down, looking away disgusted at the slide. But there was more there, in her eyes. She felt sympathy for them. They were throwing their lives away, and for what?

Dinah looked up at Ollie's persistence to get things started, before the uncomfortable shift by Clark caught her attention. She watched him carefully, and returned her attention to Ghostdance and the Bat. "You guys are boss. What course of action would you like to take?" she asked in her smooth, sultry voice.

Secretly, she was hoping that they would pair up Ollie and herself. They worked well with one another, but in far more ways than one.
