You could see even with a few training sessions the team was still made up of raw recruits. Terry McGinnis was gonna be teaching these kids for awhile in the same manner Bruce Wayne helped him remove his head from his ass. The twins were tearing more stuff up than they needed to be. G-Man was stuck on the top of the ship looking down at J-Man and the judge's wife looking for his chance. Red Arrow got a burst of super speed from Accel and put it to use taking down a few clowns. And Phantom Girl seemingly disappeared. Batman saw a civilian get injured as the animal shapeshifting twin turned into a gorilla and busted debris thrown at him by one of the pale painted faces. Terry had finally seen enough. He went out of stealth mode and went right for the J-Man and narrowly avoided one of the custom arrows of the archer, called Red Arrow, that was fired last second. 

He flew at his top speed using boot jets and ripped the clown away from his would-be date of the evening. A couple Jokerz came from below deck as one of them mentioned...

"Wait, did you guys hear something down here?" he asked turning around to see what might have made the noise. 

It didn't take Terry much time to KO the J-Man. He turned and looked up at G-Man as the other two clowns approached him. 

"Don't be afraid of the dance floor kid!" Batman yelled out to the other young hero.

Terry dropped a couple smoke pellets to make an escape, flying and grabbing the judge's wife as the man himself jumped off the ship as quickly as he could. However the judge busted his ankle in the drop to the harbor. Animal was presently in the form of a tiger and chasing clowns around the harbor and parking area.

The authorities were cleaning up the mess. The judge was getting medical aid from this day and age's flying ambulance that was currently resting on the ground. The 5th Precinct PD were around taking in all of the Jokerz still on the scene and loading them into the back of prisoner transport vehicles. Commissioner Gordon was on the scene and giving Batman and his team an ear full. 

"Who in the hell told you it would be a good idea to get a team of untrained metahumans and bust into a hostage situation?" Gordon asked poking Batman's chest with her finger.

"I..." he began to respond but she wasn't really looking for an answer.

"It was a rhetorical question, junior. I know the same people you know. Is he really doing so bad off that you've gotta make a junior Justice League for Gotham?" Gordon asked with a puzzled expression on her face but the scowl still in her eyes. 

"Commissioner, I'm really..." Batman began saying again before Gordon's cell phone ringing cut him off. 

"I'll talk to you later about it kid. That's the mayor buzzing me to check on the judge. Don't let me see these kids play superhero again before their training wheels come off. Somebody gets hurt... it's on YOU." Gordon says walking off and answering her phone. 

"Everybody head back to HQ and get some rest. Take the underground tunnel entrance. Wind down. And tomorrow be ready for the toughest day of your lives. 

"He's gonna kick us off the team... he's gonna kick us off the team..." Animal thought to himself trying not to look too rattled as they began to discuss ways to get back to HQ.

"If it makes it easier I can shift into a giant bird or flying dinosaur and get us most of the way home. It's not like there's more than a couple dozen homeless people in the neighborhood to avoid anyway." Animal suggested.
