“01-Superman. 02-Batman” The zeta tube read out, as Bruce and Superman appeared in a new location. They appeared in a large, room, that was similar to a large transparent dome. There was two other Zeta-tubes within the room, next to the one that they had exited.

“Let’s get her to the medical bay” Superman said, as Gwen continued to spark slightly, but less than before.

Walking with the girl in his arms, the two were eventually greeted by a man with blonde hair, blue eyes, and in a green hood, with a quiver on his back.

“Who’s the kid?” The man asked, looking at the girl in Supermans arms. Hearing the question, the two glanced at eachother, before Bruce responded “This is Gwen”

“You mean the girl you adopted? What’s wrong with her?” The man asked, looking at the girl with a frown on his face, as she sweated slightly, as if in pain.

“I don’t know, and that’s why we’re bringing her to the medical bay” Batman said simply, hearing this, the man nodded. “Don’t let me stop you” He said, as the two walked past, with Gwen in Supermans arms still.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After walking for a little while longer, the two had eventually made it to the medical bay. Setting Gwen on one of the medical bed, Bruce began to grab all sorts of gadgets and tests, in order to find out exactly what is wrong with Gwen.

“Thank you, Clark” Bruce said, as he began to test Gwen’s vitals again. Clark smiled and nodded “No problem, you need any more help? Or should I get out of your hair?” Clark asked, not knowing what he could do to help in a situation like this.

Bruce shook his head “No, you can go. Tell J’onn I need his help, if he’s still in the tower” Bruce said, after saying this, he stopped as he heard a voice.

“No need, I’m already here” The man known as J’onn said, as he walked into the room, green skin and all. Hearing this, Clark gave Bruce one last smile, before walking out of the room, letting the two do their thing.

“Can you see into her mind? It might be something mental” Bruce said, as he looked at the results on one of the computer screens.

“I can try” J’onn said, as he began to focus on Gwen. After a few moments of looking at her in concentration, he frowned.

“What is it?” Bruce asked, noticing the frown on J’onn’s face. “I cannot see into her mind…I am being blocked out. I believe she has a resistance to telepathy” J’onn replied, worried for his friends adopted daughter. As if he cannot see into her mind, then there’s no telling if it was physical, mental, or something else.

Bruce hearing this, frowned. The more he heard about his daughter, and her situation, the more he was getting worried. As nothing he was doing was telling him what exactly was wrong with her.

“Perhaps this is a situation that calls for magic, or the rest of the League’s help” J’onn said, as he realized that whatever was happening to this girl, was big, and might call for the help of the League itself, rather than just him and Bruce.

“I don’t want to call all of them over something like this” Bruce said simply, as he looked at his daughter, not letting his worry outwardly show. J’onn could obviously tell that the man was worried for his daughter “The rest of the League will not blame you Bruce. If anything, I believe they will aid you with all their power. We care about this girl too, not just because of her power, but because she is your daughter” J’onn said, placing a comforting hand on Bruce’s shoulder.

Bruce went silent for a few moments, before sighing and replying “Fine, I’ll call the league”

Walking over to a nearby computer, Bruce input a code, before speaking “Calling all League members…I am in need of your help”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Within the meeting room of the Watchtower, the members of the Justice League sat. Batman, Superman, Wonderwoman, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, Black Canary, Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern (Both Hal Jordan), Shazam, Hawman, Hawkwoman, Zatara, and Red Tornado.

Atom was out of town, and John Stewart was not even in their Solar System right now.

Seeing that everyone was there, Bruce began “I know that this is out of the blue, but I need your help to find out what is wrong…with my daughter” Bruce said, as on the screen a video of Gwen writhing on the medical pain played.

“That’s Gwen, right?” Dinah, aka Black Canary, asked. Bruce nodded at the question. “Shortly after the incident at Cadmus, I had returned home, only to find out she had been like this. According to my…friend, she has been unconscious for roughly 5 hours now. J’onn cannot get into her mind, as she seems to have a resistance to telepathy. While none of the tests I have conducted have told me anything”

“This is why I’ve called you all here. I need your help to find out what is happening to her, and how to stop it” Bruce said, as they all looked at eachother. “How can we help?” Hal asked, knowing that Bruce was never like this, and it was obviously important to the man.

“I have theories on what it could be, but I believe Zatara may be the one that can get the most information on what is happening to he-” “SKREECH” Bruce was cut off by a loud screeching noise, ementating from the screen. Turning his eyes widened as a black like goop came off of Gwen, before it surrounded her body.

“What the hell is that?!” Hal asked, as he shot up. Bruce’s eyes widened “Is that live?” Diana, aka Wonder Woman asked. Bruce nodded as he began to race off to the medical bay, wanting to stop whatever the hell that thing was.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Within the medical bay, the symbiote known as Toxin, was passively surrounding it’s new host, assimilating itself into her, and becoming a part of her very being.

As the door flew open, Flash and Superman got there just in time to see the symbiote melt back into her body, becoming one with her again. “What the hell?” Flash asked, as the symbiote disappeared back into her skin.

Walking into the room, Bruce noticed the lack of the strange goopy thing “What happened to the creature?” Bruce asked with a frown.

“It went back into her” Superman said, as he activated his x ray vision. “It’s almost like it’s becoming one with her. But whatever it is, it doesn’t look like it’s harming her” Superman said, as he looked her over via x ray vision.

Zatara soon walked into the room “Let us start the tests, shall we?”

____________________________________________________________________________________

That’s the end of the chapter!

Next chapter will be Gwen finally waking up, and her reaction to her new power, as well as a talk with the League and her dad. Some other stuff will happen too.

She won’t have another assimilation this big, at least not until the next System evolution. As once her body goes through an assimilation this big once, it sort of adapts to it, making the next one far faster, and way less dramatic.

Next chapter might be longer, but idk, we’ll see.

Sorry about the late upload for this fic, I ended up getting back into town WAY later than I was expecting, and I straight up just went to sleep the second I got home. My spring break is a lot more busy than I was initially expecting, but it should be back to normal now…hopefully.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed the chapter! Point out any mistakes! See you tomorrow!
