"So, are we gonna bring up the elephant in the room?" Hayley asked as the Green Group traveled to the beach.
"What elephant?" Gigi put on a pair of sunglasses. Kylie begin to walk ahead of them, she knew full well what was coming. She'd rather chat up Artura.
"Oh come on, little Ms. Hypocrite. Tell me Fire and Ice know who you once were." Hayley felt like she was owed an explanation for all the crap Gigi gives her over keeping Carol in the dark.
"My thing's different," Gigi shrugged off.
"Different how?" Hayley demanded.
"We're chill. Ice found Fire since we've broken up." Gigi insisted.
"A lesbian relationship?" Hayley egregiously asked.
"Yeah, they're totally happy." Gigi started to walk a little faster.
"Oh really, guess they wouldn't mind me asking them about it." Hayley ran ahead to where Fire, Ice, and Carol were leading the pack towards the beach. Gigi was quick to follow, "Hayley!"
Hayley burst through the little small ahead group, "Hey, gals, just want to congratulate you on your recent relationship. Really good to have such role models for people everywhere."
Fire was confused, so was Ice, "I'm sorry, what do you mean?"
"Gigi told me you gals liked each other, like like each other." Hayley smiled back at the fast approaching Gigi who was too late to stop this conversation.
Ice looked towards Fire, "Beatriz, is this true?"
Beatriz blushed towards the ground, "Tora... I... I was going to tell you..."
"Oh... oh Beatriz..." Every one was surprised by Ice embracing Fire in a passionate kiss and the kiss well recuperated by the green haired woman. Hayley had her mouth wide open. Gigi stood tall, arms crossed, and snickered, "Looks like I wasn't wrong after all."

They were at the Hal Jordan Memorial Library using a public access computer. Zinda was typing away, "It would be helpful if you could start looking through the library's books for what we're looking for."
Jason had his feet up on the desk, "I'm paying you to do the grunt work, aren't I? Consider me the handsome body guard."
"You winning against Harley might go faster if we had some information on this damn Mind Control Tablet." Zinda responded with gritted teeth.
"Oh, I've already begun to work on that." Jason smiled as his phone rang, "In fact... here they might be now. Give me a second. You got Todd."
"The Archer has opened the back door. The Machine shall listen to the Jester's calls. How goes the work of the Two Birds?" the mystic cryptic message crackled over the phone.
"Slow, just a higher up benefactor and the name of where she got all this fire power. Some Mind Control Tablet." Jason updated.
"Further details could be useful to begin research on our end. Both mystic and internet based." Raven suggested.
"I'll give you what I got." Jason promised.
"Remember, we all must stay under the radar. Our enemies out number us." Raven reminded Jason not to do anything stupid.
"Relax, relax, here's what I know..." Jason relayed what he's learned thus far to the Outsiders' mystic. Zinda continued doing her job till she found something, "Bingo. Finally a damn page giving me the four one one."
"Well?" Jason sat up, phone still in hand.
"Here, take a read..." Zinda presented what she found...
