Cry

It's a top secret meeting in the Justice League headquarters, and Colin Powell is late dropping off Reno, Bush and Obama. Already impatient, Batman takes off the mask and wipes his brow, leaving a smudge of the black makeup he uses to conceal the part of his eyes that is visible through the eye holes.

"what do you think is keeping them?" asked Aquaman to Wonderwoman, who calmly knitted a blanket to her boyfriend that read "Captain Obvious". She liked resisting, but she was head over heels over the guy.

"who knows?!" responded Wolverine for her, smiling, but no one paid attention. Ever since he came to HQ, sandwiches had gone missing in the fridge, so nobody liked him: all except for tuna, and everyone knew he didn't like fish.

"Maybe they ran into archenemies" interjected Hawkman . "Everybody knows joker is kicking ass these days. I heard he dumped Osama and in InStyle & Star, I saw some pics of him hanging out with Kim Jong-il at Le Trapeze. Bawwwk!"

"yo, why you gotta be such a douche!? why you even read that junk is beyond me! you know damn well they said aquaman was gay in that ass wipe of a paper!" said Green Lantern.

"Thanks, Hal!" said aquaman with a wink.

"can y'all stop being gay?" said Superman, in a really nasal voice. He'd started dating this chick from Queens that insisted he should get a nose job. Rumors are he had to become human for the operation which was fine by him, since all he needs to do is get laid.. "Flash, can you head out and find out what happened?"

Half a second later, Flash is doubled over in laughter, tears running down his face. "Speak!" said Thor, who was eavesdropping as he picked up the garbage.

"they were on the way here, and Colin brought up a who's hot topic.. Apparently Obama said Beyonce and Shakira. and maybe Jennifer Biel if she wasn't so white. Bush said there were some cute white girls running around and brought up Ann Coulter. Thats when the fistfight started. Reno fainted again, you know how she is...Colin tried to break it up but Obama started saying 'King Kong ain't got nothin on me' and threatened to bring his boys. it quieted down, but now they're all making it look like they had a little fender bender so the media doesn't lay an egg.. they asked superman to go and punch their car or something"

"aw Damn.. i cant help Batman, can you go for me? I have this nose thing going on.."

"Fine" Batman said, wiping his brow again and sliding his mask back on. He started calculating the size, angle and velocity of the mass he needed to use to back up the story, when a single thought came over him.

"all this money and the best friends I could buy were these guys?... might have just as well died instead of my father that night".. and as he remembered the night, tears rolled down his face unreservedly.
