Summary:5 times the Question was Wes Weston, plus one time Wes Weston was revealed to be the Question.
-
Steve.(Intern Steve was a valued member of the JLD. He will be missed.)
In typical JLD fashion, Zatanna teleported in several minutes early and started a chat with Batman about Gotham show business.
Doctor Fate was precisely 5 minutes early, to allow all those assembled within the meeting room ample time to recover from being blinded by his Ankh portal.
The Question was right on time, reeking of coffee and somehow giving off the distinct impression of having pulled five all-nighters in a row, despite lacking a face.

This demonstrates a higher hacking capability than The Question had previously demonstrated. Possible spell work? Outside interference? Regardless, Question appears to have done as promised, though it is concerning that he did so without detection or explanation. He will be monitored. For the time being, the League will not be reopening an investigation into the “blobs”. End note.]

(when Batman had finally figured out that the Question was basically Cassandra of Troy, it became much easier for them to work together, especially after he’d realized that the Question’s habit of only speaking in open ended questions wasn’t designed to annoy him but was instead the Question’s only real work around for the curse.)

limited, Batman had stressed, access into the personnel files of the Justice League. To be fair, most members of the Justice League had this access. It was not the privilege that Batman was trying to lead the Question to believe it was. However, unbeknownst to Batman, the Question had deciphered the Bat Redaction System, so his unfiltered access to heavily redacted case files was significantly more useful than it would be to the average League member. And if there is one thing that the Question enjoys in life, it’s uncovering conspiracies.

Where better to start than the Justice League personnel files? Take the one right in front of him. CLASSIFIED, Red Hood. Taken off of the villain roster due to [modified lilac hexagon]. Identity known. For Gotham only. Now, the symbol was very interesting. It was purple, indicating an underaged vigilante, and the particular shade—lilac—indicated that the vigilante had been active for many years. The hexagon itself was meant to indicate mind control, although the lines of the hexagon were thicker than normal, which likely meant a form of emotional manipulation was involved, rather than direct control. And there was a stylized swirl in the middle of the hexagon, which they had last used for Superman’s… second resurrection? The Question confirmed, yes it had been his second, the magical one. All this, combined with the “For Gotham Only”...

Jason immediately ruled out any possibility that his visitor was a member of the mob. No. That outfit was a Cape’s, no doubt about it. “That a mask, or should I be wondering how you eat?” Jason asked, figuring it was as good an opening as any. The ‘lurker’ inclined his fedora in greeting. He (they? it?) stands fairly still, hands splayed at his sides to indicate that he has no weapons."What are you supposed to be, then? The Whisper Man?" The being in the fedora tilted their head. "As a matter of fact, Red Hood, I am The Question. And I have some for you. He/him, by the way," he added, as an afterthought.
-
Ah," Jason heard dimly. "Perhaps—hm." The Question shifted in his seat and began making a slight trilling noise which somehow cut through the pounding in his head with ease. Jason shot the man an incredulous look. He was making bird sounds? When Jason had a gun in one hand and a knife in the other, and was as tense as a razor wire? Maybe he was insane. That would explain a bit. (Somehow, in the confusion, the green began to recede.) "I apologize," the Question said. "That was rather forward, wasn’t it."
-
“Ancients,” the Question despaired quietly, running a hand over his face. “Dan has friends.”Dinah and Arrow watched as the Question seemed to have a crisis while, in the background, the demon ranted about how everyone automatically assumed that just because he was from hell, he was a monster, and a bigot, and an asshole, and not all demons fit the stereotype, in fact most of the people he knew—
-
“Dear gods,” the Question said, sounding absolutely horrified. As he slid into the car, he continued, incredulous, “Dan has a boyfriend.”The doors closed on Felicity’s frantic (and somewhat wistful) denial.-Maybe she’d leave him her card before they left. He’d probably need a really good therapist after this adventure.
