Orbiting high above the turning Earth, The Watchtower was transformed. The usual sterile gleam of its corridors softened under the warm glow of festive lights strung along the bulkheads. In the heart of the main hall, a massive Christmas tree reached upward, its branches adorned with sparkling ornaments and a single, steadfast star. The gentle, familiar chords of a Christmas carol filled the air, layering an unusual coziness over the station’s high-tech hum. Through the shimmering aperture of the Slideways teleporter, figures began to appear—heroes from the Justice League, Young Justice, and the Teen Titans, stepping out of duty and into a moment of fragile peace. The customary silence of the command center gave way to the low murmur of conversation and the occasional, genuine laugh.
