Gotham City
August 27, 06:17 EDT
The majority of the team was knocked out, leaving just Aqualad and Quicksilver still conscious and fighting against Clayface. Clayface formed a sledge hammer with his arm and began hitting Aqualad with it, knocking the team leader into the warehouse door. Aqualad fell to the floor, looking up at the creature from his position on the ground.
Quicksilver sped in front of Clayface's swinging arm, taking the hit for Aqualad and being tossed into a crate across the warehouse. He landed harshly, watching through double vision as Batman showed up to take down Clayface.
Batman electrocuted the creature, causing him to lose his form before turning to Aqualad. "Let's go."
Mount Justice

After Batman talked with Aqualad and sent everyone to the showers, Kaldur, Robin, and Wally all went to their respective cities, leaving M'gann, Pietro, and Superboy at the mountain.
Superboy and M'gann were in the lounge-kitchen area whereas Pietro stayed in his room, sitting on his bed staring at the ceiling. He felt his mind wandering to the past and he sighed, bracing himself for the emotions that came with the memories.

Nine year old Pietro and Wanda huddled together in the closet, hands over their ears as tears streamed down their faces.
<"I wish they would stop fighting."> Wanda whispered to her brother. Pietro nodded, tugging Wanda closer.
<"They will...eventually."> Pietro tried to assure his twin. They both flinched when a crash was heard.
<"Maybe...maybe if they saw how it was affecting us, they will stop!"> Wanda exclaimed, jumping up to her feet and opening the closet door.
<"Wands, no!"> Pietro yelled, reaching for his sister as she dashed out of the small space. He stayed for a moment, torn between staying hidden to protect himself and chasing after his younger twin.
The decision was ultimately made for him when Wanda let out a scream. He ran out of the enclosed space, finding a scene that both terrified him and baffled his mind. Wanda stood over their parents, both of whom laid on the floor unresponsive with a red haze to their eyes, the exact same one Wanda had to her eyes.
Pietro approached his sister, placing a hand on her shoulder. <"Wanda, what happened?">
She shook like a leaf as she turned to her brother. <"I-I don't know...I just wanted them to stop."> More tears burned down her cheeks. <"Are they - are they okay?">
Pietro tore himself away from his sister to crouch next to his parents, whose eyes stopped glowing and were now glazing over. He forced himself to snap his fingers in front of their faces, not getting any sort of reaction. Next, he clapped his hands close to their ears with no result. Finally, with trembling hands, he checked for a pulse.
Pietro stood up, looking at Wanda. <"Go pack a bag, we need to go. Now.">
Wanda's face crumpled. <"Oh, god. I-I ki-">
Pietro grabbed Wanda's arm, tugging her to their room. <"Don't think about it, we need to move. The authorities will be here after hearing all the fighting and your scream. We need to get out of here.">
