Maybe, Maybe not

Control Freak makes such great chapters, it would be a shame to not try and follow up

*Teleporter!* M'Gann screamed, realizing that her lover's course had been altered at the last minute. She had attempted to use the reverse function of the teleporter to return him to the tower, but her access had been restricted by an outside party.

Diana, standing at her side with her hands on her hips, leaned in closer to her new sister silently fuming at her discomfort.

"What is going on?" Diana said as quietly as she could, hoping to avoid the attention of her fellow leaguers and the watchtower recording devices.

Realizing the nature of Diana's unspoken concern with her lightened tone, M'Gann opted to converse with the Amazon via telepathic link

*Someone altered Charlie's destination in the teleportation console. I can't recall him!*

M'Gann's panic was laid bare before Diana, her thoughts sounding panicked and her expression twitching with concern. Her attachment to Charlie was obvious to Diana, but hopefully not so obvious to any observers.

Diana took this news with a grimace, knowing that this wrinkle could cause further complications for her lover. His route home changing after having dealt with the deliberations from the Justice League could only mean one thing.

*Someone else suspects our love has been influencing Kara.* Diana opined to Miss Martian, the both of them now moving to review the footage of the moments leading up to Charlie's teleportation.

*If it were someone from the League, he would have never left the Watchtower. Who else knows that Charlie has been with Supergirl?* M'Gann eyes never left the monitor as she further questioned Diana.

Recalling her own pleasant memories of her time with Charlie, Diana remembered the faces of those who enjoyed her lover's company. There was the Tamaranean princess Starfire, who had already been in Charlie's thrall, the young partners of Batman known as Nightwing and Batgirl, the red speedster-

*That's it!* M'Gann's declaration boomed into Diana's head, interrupting her thought process.

Slightly taken aback from the sudden mental outburst, Wonder Woman shook her head as she moved her eyes to where Miss Martian had been pointing her extended finger. It took Diana five seconds to realize what she was looking at, her gaze focusing on the man working the console.

*Wally was the last person to input the coordinates into the teleporter.* The two heroines concluded simultaneously. This revelation made the two begin to ponder what could have brought on this course of action. It also made the two imagine creative ways to punish the speedster once they reclaimed their lover.

But enough about hypothetical castration of annoying speed balls, the two had to determine where Charlie had been taken.

Diana took a seat next to Miss Martian at the control panel, the two now actively looking for the last entered destination for the teleporter. Miss Martian opted to review the footage of the Flash entering the destination onto the console while Diana decided to review the log of teleportation locations.

After two minutes of research, they both arrived at the same answer concurrently.

*Gotham* The two heroines realized grimly. However, between the two, only Diana realized the deeper implications of that location.

*Nightwing and Batgirl are moving to interrogate Charlie.*

The suspected mind controller had remained stiff as a board as he continued to stare at the computer monitor in front of him. Implications of his girlfriend's room being bugged aside, the sight before him made him start to come to terms with the fact that he was well and truly fucked.

And not in the fun way he had grown used to over the past few weeks.

Wanting to continue with the interrogation at hand (as well as move on from the footage on the screen) the two present members of the Bat family cleared their throats behind Charlie, prompting him to turn around to face them in a jitter.

His hunched over, fearful disposition before the two heroes made him feel like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Or more accurately, like a criminal about to be assaulted by crazed bat themed vigilantes.

"We're ready anytime you want to start making sense of that footage." Batgirl's cold and dismissive challenge only served to make Charlie paralyzed with fear, unable to move a finger lest he encourage their wrath.

His silence however couldn't last the whole night and he knew that.

"I, um...really don't know why she's doing that." A half truth if not an outright lie. Charlie knew his pheromones had caused his new popularity with non-human women but up until that point, he didn't realize how potent his actual scent must have been to those around him. Perhaps the sweat on his clothing-

*Punch*

His musings were interrupted by Nightwing punching the wall to the right of him. The acrobat's glare never falters or breaks contact with Charlie's own gaze.

How he had gotten so close to Charlie without his noticing, he'll never know.

"Do you not get what it is you've done?" Nightwing's silent inquiry made Charlie affix his body's direction towards the vigilante.

"You've been robbing women of their agency, made them your slaves, and worst of all, compromised their health forever because of your pheromones!" Grayson's voice raised several octaves as he listed Charlie's transgressions. The acrobat began to invade Charlie's personal space further as he read him the riot act.

"To think I trusted you, wanted to call you my friend..."Sadness seeped out of Nightwing's throat as his eyes closed, breaking contact with his suspect and his own feelings over Charlie's “betrayal" coming to the forefront. This shift in perspective made Charlie begin to empathize more with the young man in front of him, making him recall the implications of gaining Starfire as a lover.

Unlike Kara and Diana, Kori had already been in a dedicated relationship with Dick. The two adored each other and because of a power he understood very little about, he severed that bond and superseded Dick's place in Kori's heart.

Charlie's resolve in maintaining his innocence began to waver. In a short span he had been kidnapped and used by Lex Luthor to gain control over Power Girl, the League had partially learned about his abilities, he had been **** to leave Kara alone, he unknowingly gained a new lover in M'Gann, a woman he knew next to nothing about but because of his power, he had taken her for his own, and now two people that he had called his friends not only knew of his abilities, but they knew more than the league knew and intended to make him suffer.

After a while, he just wanted to be done with everything.

"Whether or not you tell us anything is inconsequential now." Batgirl's declaration brought Charlie out of his guilt ridden reminiscence. She began to walk towards the two men, her arms folded across her chest as she stared daggers at Charlie's skull.

"We have the evidence to show the league that your powers extend to other non-human entities, we have a time table to show when these events occurred, and if we need to, we can bring in another leaguer to extract a confession out of you." Venom seeped out of Barbara's mouth as she explained what would happen to Charlie now that they knew what else had happened.

Regaining his bearings as Batgirl walked towards him, Nightwing decided to play off of what his partner said.

"In order to be sure, we should probably contact Martian Manhunter. He's really good at getting info out of perps." Nightwing said offhandedly, looking deep into Charlie's fear ridden eyes. To put the final nail in the coffin for Charlie, he continued with,

"Of course he also has a bad habit of leaving the perps brain damaged."

The fear and guilt that had been building up in Charlie had been reaching a boiling point as the two vigilantes in front of him laid out how his life was essentially over because of their findings. His stress rose more and more as he saw his hopes of having a beautiful life with Kara and his new harem begin to fade. His fight or flight instincts that reared at the back of his mind came to the forefront.

And after everything he went through, he was tired of flight.

"I'll tell everyone." He finally said after minutes of silence. This response prompted looks of surprise on the faces of the Bat Family. They didn't think the young man would break so easily. Batgirl was the first to recover from this shock.

"Well, regardless of what you do, we'll still need to take you into cus-"

"I'll tell everyone that you're Barbara Gordon and he's Dick Grayson."

Charlie interrupted with his last card.

The shock that resulted from that declaration lasted even longer than first. It was one thing for a perp to suspect who they were, it was another for them to know that they were right, but it was a real issue if that perp knew the identities of two members of the Bat Family.

Especially two that were particularly close to Batman. Charlie knew this too.

"Yeah, if you attempt to ruin my life, I'll-"

"You'll do what, Mr. Simmons?"

A baritone voice broke the two young adults of their stupors and caused Charlie to enter his own. Nightwing and Batgirl turned to their six as they saw the patriarch of the Bat Family himself standing in the shadows.

This appearance made Charlie's legs lose what strength they had left and he crumbled to the floor, his knees being the only things to support him.

"Batman? When did you get here?" Nightwing turned away from Charlie, now reporting to the Dark Knight at attention.

"Flash told me of your suspicions. I wanted to review your evidence and gauge Simmons further for myself." Batman's clinical explanation further zapped any resolve Charlie had left, the shadow of the legendary cowl starting to overtake Charlie's visage.

"We have video evidence of his powers influencing Starfire and we have a timeline to prove that he knowingly has been using his abilities." Batgirl succinctly and smugly outlined everything Batman would need to put Charlie away.

Charlie bowed his head in resignation, closing his eyes as Batman stopped his approach, now standing between his two partners.

"The league doesn't understand the gravity of this revelation." The Dark Knight declared to the two next to him, his eyes never leaving the young man he towered over.

"Thankfully, neither will either of you."

The sound of two bodies hitting the floor filled Charlie's ears as the cowl shaped shadow that overtook him was replaced by that of a flowing mane of hair coming into view.

Charlie's hopes had been returned by the green goddess in front of him.
