Robert and Daniel Hall were in the next ring over. The bill paying Grant's Gym had two rings, the HQ below did as well. The place wasn't large enough for a War Room like at the Hall of Justice and the Watchtower, but a few robot fighting dummies seemed like enough. If anybody ever asked Wildcat, he'd argue he'd rather be beaten by flesh and bone than a machine. While Zero was busy fighting the robot, Robert and Daniel fought each other. Which was nothing new to either of them. Robert was a little older, a little bigger, and a little slower. Daniel could survive a few shots here and there, and he had the speed to avoid several. However, he lacked any real fighting style of his own. 

The last few days had been grueling work-outs in and out of giant form. The boys fought in a ring with each other now, but they both trained the last four days upstairs with Grant after Daniel got out of school. Under Batman's orders, Grant also had the boys continue their swimming exercises in another gym with an indoor Olympic sized pool. Of course it was owned by Wayne Industries. As the boys continued to spar they witnessed the breakdown. Their teammate was on top of a holo-droid stabbing it repeatedly with a weapon made of ice. When Daniel noticed he let his guard down and took another punch from his older brother who realized what was going on moments later. 

"Don't say anything. No matter what, you always come off like a dick." Daniel stated picking himself back up as others approached the young hero as well. 

"You're just too sensitive. The hairy guy brought Taco Hut, doesn't look like Parasite girl let her jewelry eat it all yet..." Robert replied wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Wait... did you actually read all of the files on the HQ computer? About everyone's powers and everything?" Daniel asked in a bit of a surprise.

"Batman said to do what we can with what we have. BATMAN. If he told me I could find Waldo in the yellow pages in his red and white shirt I'd believe it and look through every page at this point. I didn't even believe the guy was real until like a year ago..." Robert responded once more exiting the boxing ring with his brother. 

The boys were both good kids, raised in a good family back in Metropolis. The idea of them being at odds was odd in itself. However a couple years earlier Daniel did lose a little of the respect and admiration he once held for his brother after he quit the swimming team his senior year. Robert played the bad boy role for nearly two years, until recently coming back to Metropolis after going on the road after graduating high school. Since the exobite created by Brainiac gave the brothers their power, his head's a little more clear and he's completely committed to being a hero.

While some of the others seemed to be heading out to the arcade, Robert and Daniel fused to become Leviathan and did some weight training. Now standing at ten feet tall, even the Amazon looked small compared to the composite hero.
