Alex was making his way towards Hope Corporation as he was thinking about what happened back at the train station. He knew Anne and her team know about his identity because Wanda tried to control his mind and she saw memories of his past. He needed to go to Hope Corporation and let Joel know about what happened.

One hour later, Alex made it to Hope Corporation as he made it to the elevator and pressed a button as the elevator began going up. The elevator stopped as Alex began walking towards the office until he noticed Joel and he spoke to him.

Joel: Alex, we got some guests that want to speak to you.

Alex already knew who Joel was talking about as both of them opened the door and saw Anne and her team.

Anne: Look Alex, we don't want to fight you.

Sam: We just want to talk, that's all.

Alex: After that stunt, your friend pulled at the museum. I don't trust any of you.

Bucky: Someone framed me-

Alex: I still don't trust any of you.

Natasha: Regardless, we have one objective and that is T&T.

Wanda: For a month T&T has been planning something big and we need to stop them.

Pietro: I know it's hard for you to trust us but listen, we both have the same intention.

Anne: And that is putting an end to crime and corruption.

Bucky: I have a feeling T&T framed me just so you can divert your attention to us.

Alex was staring at them as Joel was gonna say something until the doors to the office were opened as everyone saw who it was.

Benjamin: Sorry about that. Didn't mean to interrupt this entire conversation.

Sam: Who are you?

Benjamin: Yeah I'm getting to that part. I'm Benjamin.

Alex: What are you doing here?

Benjamin: I came to meet all of you. It's about T&T.

Everyone was looking at each other as Benjamin had a smile on his face and continued talking.

Benjamin: Look I know who all of you are. It's easy figuring out your identity, Alex.

Alex was staring at him as Benjamin continues talking to them.

Benjamin: And I'll be honest with all of you. I'm Nightwing and for many years, I've been protecting Blüdhaven. For a month, I've been looking into the T&T case and need your help.

Natasha: Well looks like all of us has the same intention.

Anne: What did you find in your case?

Benjamin: A lot of things. T&T has been stealing chemical components for some reason.

Bucky: While in Gotham, they have been stealing weapons and armour.

Wanda: They also needed a lot of money.

Natasha: What are they even planning?

Alex was silent as Joel said something to him.

Joel: Kiddo, you need to speak to them. They can be our allies.

Alex sighed to himself as he looked at everyone and spoke to them.

Alex: I have a doubt T&T is working for someone and they're planning something big.

Anne: Same here and whoever the mastermind is, they found out we were getting close to the truth.

Benjamin: So the mastermind framed Bucky and Alex will go after Anne and her team. While T&T steal the chemical components in Blüdhaven.

Pietro: And then come back to Gotham.

Bucky: Not only that, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and Clayface have disappeared. We don't have clue where they are at.

The team were all silent as they began speaking about something.

Bucky: Look if we're gonna stop T&T then we all need to work together as a team.

Natasha: Bucky's right. Whoever this mastermind is dangerous and will not stop until they destroyed Gotham and the world.

Benjamin: I'm in. The more allies, the easier it is to solve the case.

Anne: Right. What about you Alex?

Alex was silent as he was staring at them until he sighed to himself and said something to the team.

Alex: Fine. . . . I'm in.

Wanda: That's good to hear.

Pietro: Alright then, so what's the first we need to do?

Alex: Lay low. We'll see what we can do in a few days.

Natasha: In the meantime, we should set up a base of operations.

Joel: I already have one in mind.

Sam: Okay. So the clock tower is our base of operations?

Alex: Yeah.

Benjamin: It's abandoned and nobody can get inside.

Joel: Yup, plus all the tech is inside the tower.

Anne: This is a good base of operations.

Bucky: Indeed.

The team entered the elevator of the clock tower as they made it to the upper levels and the elevator stopped as the team began looking around.

Joel: Security cameras are used to survey the tower, Batcomputer is installed to help us find information on certain cases and the clock tower has a built in defenses in case any intruder tries to get inside.

Anne: This is good. Let's begin everyone.

Natasha: Let's start with everything that has happened in thr first month.

Wanda: And make sure we didn't miss anything.

Pietro: That's right.

Benjamin: Alright, let's do this.

Everyone nodded as they all sat down and began talking about the T&T cases along with every lead they have so far.

Unknown to the team, someone was watching them from a far distance as the mysterious assailant continued staring at them until she left the scene.
