A meeting between founding members hours later.

"This situation is... quite unusual," Martian Manhunter stated as the founding members of the League sat around the table, staring at the lamp laid in the center of it. Felix was standing off to the side, shifting nervously. He was sifting through everyone's emotional states, reading a bit of uncertainty, and despite his wish, a great deal of suspicion from a certain man in a bat costume. Diana had told him that Batman was suspicious of everyone though, so he didn't take it personally. "We thank you for doing the responsible thing and coming forward with this, Mr. Andersmith," he added.

"Erm, I'm more inclined to think it was the smart thing than the responsible one. I'm not looking to make enemies with the Justice League of all people, not least of all because... well, I admire you guys," Felix admitted, before shrinking from a cold stare from Batman.

"Don't think flattery will get you anywhere, Mr. Andersmith," he replied in an even tone. He then turned to Wonder Woman. "Diana, what the hell were you thinking, exactly, when you allowed this entity to assimilate you?"

"I was thinking it was giving me an enticing offer for a more fulfilling existence, and I made damn sure that the powers it gave me would not end up being abused even if the lamp ended up in the wrong hands," Diana responded, staring back. "And it's clearly worked so far. Literally the only two wishes Master made were to improve his own body, and to ensure he was trusted exactly how much he should be. Not a wish for unconditional trust. Just an honest feel for his character."

"That explains why I let him into headquarters so easily," Flash remarked, only to recoil from another one of Batman's patented hard stares.

"You're not off the hook for that either. You know the protocols," Batman told Flash.

"Lay off him, Diana insisted," Superman waved Batman off. "...J'onn, any preliminary findings?"

"They both allowed me to read their minds before this gathering," Martian Manhunter replied. "There is no indication that Diana's mind has been controlled more than she herself has allowed. Nor any indication of Mr. Andersmith being untrustworthy. He is not a dangerous individual. Unremarkable, almost, save for his gift as an Empath. And possessing of a character on par with many of our members."

"I mean, is it surprising that I try not to hurt people, given my gift?" Felix inquired. "I know when I'm in the wrong with others, because I can tell how they feel about any action I take. Though, I have to say, when they first started coming in, it was... difficult?"

"Intense sensory overload that took ages to acclimate to, and learn to manage?" Superman asked, gazing at Felix, and the young man looked back, feeling a sense of empathy from the Man of Steel.

"You've been there?" Felix questioned.

"I can literally hear pretty much everything that happens on the planet, what do you think?" Superman asked rhetorically. "Even now, I have to concentrate to parse through it all."

"...ask a stupid question," Felix nodded in agreement. That actually made his own childhood issues seem like child's play in comparison. Still, it was heartening to know he could relate to the League's heaviest hitter in some way.

"Still, we should be looking into this a bit more before we come to any conclusions," Green Lantern noted. "Perhaps use Diana's lasso?"

"I already did so at her suggestion, " Martian Manhunter responded. "It was the same result as my telepathy."

"This is unusual... but all preliminary findings seem to indicate that it's harmless," Hawkgirl noted.

"You're kidding, right?" Batman asked flatly.

"It's hardly our business to dictate what our members do with their... sex lives when not on duty," Flash told Batman, this time meeting Batman's stare.

"Under normal circumstances, that's true. But these are not normal circumstances."
