DeLamb Gets Arrested, Brion Gets His But Kicked Out Of Markovia, and Garrett Gets Markovian Support

Garrett and Zatanna Were In Bed, Though The Sun Had Risen, Both Were Loath To Rise, Not That They Really Had A Choice, Garrett Had A Casting Debut For His Reality Series, and There Were A Number Of Matters To Attend To, Specifically To Start The Meta-Project's Producer Assignments. Atlantean Ambassador To The UN Garth and Themyseiran Ambassador Troia Were Both Apart Of The Project, Alongside The Green Lanterns Guy Gardner and John Stewart, Amanda Waller, Tigress, Wonder Woman, Superboy, The New Gods Vykin, Dreamer, and Bear, The Retired Original Guardian Jim Harper, and Black Lightning and Black Canary. But Because Of The Recent Turmoil Around The Meta-Gene and Markovia, They Were Forced To Relocate The Official Meta-Project Headquarters To Garrett and Zatanna's Personal Complex, Which Required Five Times The Usual Security. Meaning Biometrics Scanning, Facial and Voice Audio Recognition, Key Cards, Wrist Bio-Tech Chip Implant Scanning, and Personal Passcodes. Garrett and Zatanna Had A Swath Of Land That Had More Collective Property Mileage and Inherent Value Than The Entire State Of California and Nevada Combined, Along With A Large Subterranean Complex and Boom Tubes To A Private Orbital Facility and Lunar Base. The Complex Was The HQ Of Caine & Wayne Research and Development Initiatives, and Garrett Had His Own Personal Housing On Site.

Resisting The Urge To Continue His Naked Sleep With His Naked Fiancee, Garrett Got Up, Had A Nice Long Shower, Got Dressed, and Cup Of Coffee As Lex Luthor Entered His Dining Room With Vandal Savage and Queen Bee. ''You Three Want To Fight?'' Asks Garrett Dangerously, As He Bares His Teeth and Sprouts Claws On His Free Hand. ''Hardly, We Simply Wish To Ensure There's No Hard Feelings For Your Evolution.'' Says Luthor. ''Evolution? Is That What You Call It? You Kidnapped Me, Tortured Me, and Changed My Very Identity. You......You Want Something To Drink?'' Garrett Asks. ''You Have Tea?'' Asks Luthor. ''Yeah, Take A Seat While I Prepare A Few Cups. What About You Two?" Asks Garrett. ''I'll Settle For The Strongest and Most Bitter Drink You Have, As For Queen Bee, She Prefers Something Sweet and Honeyed.'' Says Savage. ''Siberian Exhaust For The Caveman, and Metropolis Eclipse For The Terrorist It Is.'' Says Garrett As He Swaps Out The Coffee Bag For A 99% Cacao Coffee, Before Preparing A Siberian Blend Of Whiskey, Cream and Sugar, and Vodka For Savage. Garrett Proceeds To Take His Second Coffee Maker, and Prepares A Mix Of Milk, Honey, and Peach Extract For Queen Bee.

"I Can Only Assume This Involves The Meta-Project's Debut Episode and My Interview With Cat Grant? So Make Your Offer.'' Says Garrett. "We'd Like For You To Work For Us, With Us, In Exchange For Your Cooperation, We Are Prepared To Offer You Substantial Monetary Compensation, Political Connections, and Access To Our Information Networks," Says Luthor. ''I'm Gonna Need Much More Than That, I Need Help Shutting Down Meta-Human Trafficking In Markovia, Information Mostly, Along With The Occasional Minion Appearance. But More Importantly, I Want An Understanding, Anybody Comes For My Family, Ex-Fiance and Kids Included, You'll Put Them Down.'' Says Garrett. ''Hmm, You Ask For Much, But The Trafficking In Markovia Is Something Of A Problem, You Have A Deal.'' Says Savage As He and Garrett Shake Hands. ''Now If You'll Excuse Us, Queen Bee and I Are Needed Elsewhere.'' Says Savage.

Once Gone Garrett Hands Luthor A Drive. ''What's This?'' Asks Luthor. ''Surveillance, On Superboy and Miss Martian's Home Life, He Is Technically Your Son, Figured I Owed You That For Stringing Up Your Involvement With The Project.'' Says Garrett. ''Thank You, Superboy May Not Appreciate It, But I Certainly Do. Now Then As To The Matter Of The Main Markovian Meta-Human Traffickers There Are Three Distinct Groups, Traffickers Who Work For Intergang, The League Of Shadow's, and The Various Crime Families, I Suggest Focusing On The Third One First.'' Says Lex Luthor. ''Agreed, Best To Let The Rookies Get A Feel For It With The Less-Difficult and Smaller Fish.'' Says Garrett. ''Listen, About The Experiments, Ra's Al Ghul and I Opposed It, and Now Ra's Is No Longer Of The Light.'' Says Luthor. 'The Human Speaks The Truth.' Says Scarlet. ''So, If Ra's Is Out, Then Only One Man Outside Of Sportsmaster Can Possibly Lead The Shadows, It's Deathstroke Isn't It?'' Asks Garrett. ''Hehe, You Really Are Smarter Than The Average Tiger.'' Luthor Confirms. ''We'd Best Get To The Lounge, Before Zatanna Attacks You.'' Says Garrett. ''Agreed.'' Says Luthor As He and Luthor Leave The Kitchen For The Meta-Lounge.

Garrett and Lex Luthor Were Going Over The Final Project Details As Superboy Entered.''Hello Son.'' Luthor Tells Superboy. ''I Am Not Your Son. I Am Just Here To Keep An Eye You.'' Says Superboy. ''Actually That is Nabu's Job.'' Says Doctor Fate As He Appears. ''Thank You Great Nabu, I Appreciate You Taking The Time From Your Important Duties To Help Us Ensure Our Magic Using Meta-Human's Remain Untainted By Lords Of Chaos and Their Ilk.'' Says Garrett, Directing The Last Six Words Of His Sentence To Luthor. ''It Is We Who Should Thank You Garrett Caine, The Development This New Mutation Could Represent To The Realms Of Magic Is A Great Opportunity To Study Uncategorized Magic and Potential.'' Says Doctor Fate. ''Even So, You Have My Gratitude, Both For This, and Granting Your Boon To My Beloved. For That, I Swear To You, I Dedicate My Actions To Honoring Your Faith and Trust.'' Says Garrett, Speaking The Last Ten Words In Latin, Because Of His New Knack For Magic, and Latin Being His Magical Mother Tongue.

Thirty Slots Existed, But Only Twenty Eight Would Be Filled, Two Were Wildcard Slots, Contestants Eliminated, But Granted A Second Chance At Winning By Popular Vote and Making The Wildcard Cut. This Left Two Unfilled Spots In The Show, Garrett Hoped To Fill Them With Two Rescued Meta's Who Received Personal Tutelage From Three Maybe Five Noted Heroes Such As Himself, Wonder Woman, Superman, Tempest, Static, and Possibly A Certain Ex-Villain Should His Offer Be Accepted.

Garrett Had Heard That Prince Brion Wished To Join The Meta-Project, Since The Possibility Of Rescuing His Missing Sister Was Very Very High. Halo Had Also Asked To Join. Meanwhile Gregor Markov Was Crowned King Of Markovia, and Publicly Declared A Joint Partnership With The Justice League and Meta-Project To "Stop The Destruction Of So Many Lives In Markovia and Make Markovia Home Again". Garrett and Kaldur Were Both On Hand To Accept Gregor's Offer and Make A Promise Of Their Own, To ''Find Princess Tara and Make The Ones Who Kidnapped An Innocent Markovian Girl Stand Trial For Breaking Markovian Law''. Prince Brion Was Named Second-In-Command Of Leading The International Search Under Nightwing, While Garrett Would Work With Gregor To Search Markovia For The Princess.

As A Member Of The Justice League, Garrett Also Had Permission From Gregor To Set Up A Markovian Charter For The Justice League. Given Leave By Kaldur and Wonder Woman To Handpick His Charter Members, Garrett Selected Doctor Fate, Captain Atom, Black Canary, Rocket, Zatanna, Saint Walker, Fire, Wild Cat, Blue Devil, The Huntress and John Stewart. He Would've Chosen The Atom, But Taking The Captain Atom Was Enough For The Moment. Garrett Chose To Instead Focus On Using These Heroes To Improve The League's Image In Markovia. Garrett Also Hoped To Master Atlantean and Mayan Sorcery, But Also Hoped to Master Norse Magic.

Garrett Stood In The Markovian Hall Of Justice Wing Of The Markovian Royal Palace, Newly Constructed Using New Genesis Technology, Atlantean and Star Labs Meta-Magical Science, and Markovian and UN Funds, The Wing Served As The Official Headquarters Of The Markovian League Charter, and Had A Impregnable Bunker For The Royal Family To Take Shelter In. The Hall Made Extensive Use Of Mother Box Technology and Created A New Form Of The Technology, Called Sister Box, The Sister Box Was Focused On More Broadened Skills Than Mother Or Father Boxes. The New Gods Of New Genesis Were Startled By The Offshoot Box and Had Sent Dreamer and Vykin Ahead Of The Rest Of The Forever People To Study The Sister Box.

Markovian and International News Crews Were Invited In For A Full Exposure Of The New Markovian Charter's HQ, King Gregor Was On Hand, Alongside UN Representatives Of Atlantis, Themyscira, Markovia, Vlatvia, and Europe Officially To Showcase The New Facility. Garrett Himself Sat In The League Lounge, Enjoying A Cup Of Lemonade, Waiting For His Lab To Finish Its Tests, But Watching Markovian Camera Feeds, Studying The Feed For Any Potential Infiltrators Or Radicals. He Was Running Tests To Discover Whether Kobra-Venom Could Be Used For Medical Benefits Beyond Steroid Abuse. It Was Then, That He Noticed Something In The Camera Feed, Ra's Al Ghul and The Sensei, Hidden In The Crowd's. ''Attention All Markovian Charter Leaguers, Ra's Al Ghul is In The Building. Observe Only and Evacuate The VIP's. Red Team, Mobilise and Prep For Worst Case Scenario.'' Says Garrett As He Alerts The League.
