"...reports state that this new virus, being called "Degeneration Y" by some accounts, has hit over 50 different cities and towns across America, with no apparent pattern or reason to date.   The only thing that can be confirmed is that only children and young teenagers are being affected by the virus - there have been virtually no reports of anyone over the age of 16 being affected.  Doctors feel that there's a possibility that the onset of certain stages of puberty can make victims immune to the effects, although no scentific evidence exists at this moment.

"Millions of children are currently filling hospitals to overflowing, and reports of some early deaths as a result of the disease are...

"Excuse me, there's some late breaking news.   In a brief statement to press, the U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan has stated that representatives of the Justice League, who due to security reasons shall remain nameless, contacted the UN less than 30 minutes ago to request an audience with the UN General Assembly at around 5 PM tonight.  Annan would only state that the address was of major importance and dealt directly with the current crisis, and that the source of the request has been verified as genuine.   We will, of course, have coverage of that meeting, should it occur.

"He has crossed the line too far, not only this time but for a very long time now. I will not give him the chance to do irreperable harm any more."

"This is a general call to all members, bring the children and prepare to finish this."

"JSA, Titans, others affiliated...we need all the help we can get on this one."

As if Superman had to talk ANYONE into doing this...

Nightwing here, Wonder Woman. Understood.

"Wonder Woman, Sand representing the Outsiders. We'll let you know when and who are ready for pickup."

They've not even had a training session yet.

But lives are at stake.

"Thank you." She doesn't know much about his team but they need everyone and they faced Enchantress and the others.

"We will be standing by on your word."

Trevor's grin, hidden by his helmet, is savage. As his right hand pulls the throttle back a little harder, forcing the speedometer's needle past 120mph, his left thumb taps the communicator taped to the handlebars.

"Sand. This is Hotshot. I'm on my way to the Brownstone, ETA about half an hour. Count me in."

Everything darkens for a brief moment before a light bursts from the wall and a hand, then a body, emerges.

Merlynne's in all black, a heavy cloak barely concealing the sword at her back. She doesn't say anything; she doesn't need to.

There's a pause before communications at the Brownstone kick in.

"Zan here. Jayna and I will help however we can."

"Already called Mid-Nite, getting medical information and beaming up on your call or his call." Tara's voice is a crackle of icicles.

Cyborg here. I'm going to opt out of kicking Light's butt, here. I have other things to do.

I'm going to go over my father's notes. Some of his life-support systems should work even if we can't get rid of the disease.

It's a token of how desperate Vic feels this might be that he would even suggest it.

I'll be out West in a few minutes.

He sounds haggard already, though Cyborg's tack doesn't go unnoticed.
