Justice League of Amazons: The Black Dragon
…
A/N: Hello and welcome to this new little story of mine. I noticed there weren't many Game of Thrones/Justice League crossovers and I thought I'd rectify that by using one of my popular ideas where the hero is from the GOT 'verse and ends up in the JLA 'verse and becomes the new father to mankind. As you can guess by the title, the new father to mankind is from House Blackfyre, and it is none other than Aegon 'Targaryen'/Blackfyre. Since the TV show cut Aegon out completely for whatever reason, I thought this story would help explain a possible reason why Aegon isn't in the series.
And just because I want to give Aegon some extra power, I'm making him the Dragonborn from Skyrim; the reason behind that is because when looking through the non-crossover stories of Game of Thrones and Aegon Targaryen stories I found one story where he was/is the Dragonborn. That story in question wasn't too serious and kinda makes Aegon a Gamer-Logic OP Gary Stu character that some reviewers of the story accused the author of making a self-insert, but I thought it was a very funny story that took the piss out of GOT and Skyrim. Now the Aegon of my story won't be a Gamer-Logic SI nor will he be an OP Gary Stu, but using a mixture of the Elder Scrolls Lore and the Skyrim game, he'll be powerful enough to handle the likes of Aresia, Darkseid etc. That is not to say he'll be facing enemies like those I've just mentioned without some help from the Justice League ladies.
But, I suppose I've prattled enough, haven't I? So, let's get this show on the road!
…
The Mages College of Winterhold.
Aegon Stormcrown, or elsewise styled the Black Dragon, swung his sword Blackfyre in a horizontal arc slicing through three magical anomalies at once. The spectral beings shrieked in pain as the Valyrian steel blade of Aegon's sword cleaved through, leaving them nothing but piles of steaming glowing magical ooze on the snow-covered ground. The town was under attack by the magical anomalies created when Thalmor toady/agent, Ancano, had decided to take the Eye of Magnus, an artefact of immense magical power, for himself and using the power of the Eye, he expelled everyone from the College and even killed Savos Aren, the Archmage of the College, doing so.
The faculty of the College and the students, which included Aegon himself, had spent their efforts trying to break through the magical barrier Ancano had erected around the college whilst trying to stop the magical anomalies from destroying what was left of the town of Winterhold. Aegon had just returned from a trip to the ancient Nord city Labyrinthian after being told by incorporeal Augur of Dunlain to retrieve the one artefact that could stop Ancano's reckless use of the Eye; the Staff of Magnus. The Staff was the only object capable of containing the Eye's power and Aegon had fought his way through countless Draugr, an animated dragon skeleton and the undead Dragon Priest Morokei who possessed the Staff and had a history with Savos Aren who had travelled to Labyrinthian with some companions when he was a young, years before becoming Arch-Mage. Savos had been the only one to escape the ancient ruined city alive as Aegon had seen through quite literally ghosts of the past of Savos and his companions when he made his way through the ruins.
Aegon took a moment to catch his breath when Mirabelle the second-in-command of the College shouted to him "Aegon! You must get inside and close the Eye or Ancano will be the ruin of us all!" the sorceress shouted as she blasted streams of lightning at magical anomalies.
Aegon gritted his teeth as he held Blackfyre in his right hand and pulled from his back the Staff of Magnus. Tolfdir, an elderly but still very capable wizard skilled in Alteration magics, followed Aegon as they cut their way through the swathe of magical anomalies. Together they ran up the walkway until they came to the magical barrier keeping them from entering the College and ending Ancano's misuse of the Eye. Aegon levelled the Staff at the barrier and concentrated; a stream of aquamarine energy was expelled from the crystalline head of the staff and collided with the barrier. The barrier seemed to shift and groan as if in pain before finally the Staff's power broke the barrier. The barrier splintered and cracked like a glass mirror breaking before it broke completely and 'shards' of magic fell down to the ground far below the College like broken glass. Running into the College grounds before Ancano could conjure another barrier, Aegon charged in with his sword and the Staff raised and Tolfdir ran after him, his hands wreathed in mystical flames.
Like a living battering ram, Aegon broke down the oak and iron bounds of the College and smashed through the wrought iron gates leading to the hall of elements. Ancano stood facing the Eye as it pulsed and spun with raw magic.
"ANCANO!" Aegon bellowed and the Thalmor agent turned to face him. "Stop this madness! You'll destroy us all!" the Dovahkiin shouted.
Ancano sneered, drunk with power. "Foolish boy! I know exactly what I'm doing!" he boasted arrogantly "With the Eye at my command, the Thalmor has all it needs to wipe the board clean of both the Legion and the Stormcloaks!" he declared.
"Ancano! Please! Listen to reason!" Tolfdir pleaded "There are magics in this world we were never meant to meddle with!" he yelled.
Ancano sneered dismissively before replying, "I tire of your prattle, old fool!" he said and with a wave of his hand, Tolfdir fell to the ground paralysed and unable to move anything but his eyes which rolled in their sockets madly.
"NO! DAMN YOU!" Aegon roared as he raised the Staff. Ancano's eyes widened in recognition.
"The Staff of Magnus…? YOU FOUND THE STAFF OF MAGNUS?!" Ancano screamed.
"And with it, I will end your schemes!" replied Aegon.
Ancano snarled like a beast and he raised a hand to the Eye and cast a spell at it. The Eye opened, revealing a swirling vortex of magic and Ancano was then covered in the eldritch power, encasing him like armour.
Ancano then raised his hands towards Aegon who had the sense to strafing the room. This was a wise idea as Ancano's spells seemed to be augmented to invariably insurmountable levels and as each lightning bolt or fireball struck the walls of the room, the College shook under the force.
Aegon then took in a deep breath.
FUS… RO DAH!
A wave of energy that compressed the air to the point that it was almost visible exploded from Aegon's mouth and the wave of energy collided with Ancano and sent him flying where he crashed against the wall and slid to the ground dazed. Aegon then raised the Staff towards the Eye and poured forth the energy of the Staff to close Eye of Magnus before its power destroyed all of the world. The magic of the Staff crashed against the Eye and the Eye began to close. As the Eye started to close, Ancano's magical body shield faded away as well.
"NO! DAMN YOU WHELP!" Ancano screeched as he cast a stream of lightning at Aegon, although without the power of the Eye boosting his power, the streams of lightning were much weaker, but nonetheless still deadly. Aegon then rushed towards the Thalmor agent with Blackfyre ready to snuff out the Altmer's life. Aegon slid on his knees to duck under the jets of eldritch lightning and sprang to his feet and stabbed the Thalmor agent in the chest. The Valyrian steel blade of Blackfyre sank deep into Ancano's chest and exited out the elf's back, stained with crimson blood. Ancano gave a shocked choking gurgle, coughing up scarlet life-fluids before he slowly collapsed to his knees clutching at Aegon's sword to try and pull the blade out from himself. Aegon wrenched his sword free and flicked the blood of it, the scarlet drops of lifeblood splattering onto the tiled floor of the Hall of Elements. Turning his attention to Tolfdir, Aegon saw that the elderly wizard was now recovering. That was Aegon's mistake.
Ancano still had enough life and strength in him to raise his hand towards the Eye and with his dying breath, he cast a spell at it. Aegon saw the spell streak towards the Eye and he tried in vain to cast a simple ice spike at the spell to throw it off course. But it was too late, Ancano's spell hit the Eye and the artefact began to spin and churn and froth with raw magical energy.
His sense of duty kicking in, Aegon spoke to Tolfdir "Tolfdir! Get everyone out of range of the College! I have to try and close the Eye once more before it completely destroys all of Winterhold or even all of Tamriel!" Aegon said to the old wizard.
"N-no! I can't! I won't leave you here!" Tolfdir protested angrily.
"I'm trusting you to do this, Tolfdir! Don't argue with me! Go!" Aegon commanded as he pulled the wizard up to his feet and shoved him towards the doors. Tolfdir spared one last look at Aegon and quickly ran out into the College ground to do as he was instructed to. Aegon faced the Eye which had now turned into a vortex of raw magic and began sucking everything in. Pointing the Staff at the Eye, Aegon poured every bit of magic the Staff had left at the Eye; the stream of magic hit the Eye, but it only caused the artefact to spark out arcs of arcane lightning.
The sparks of energy blasted off pieces of the hall, leaving deep scorched gouges in the stonework. Aegon continued to pour every ounce of energy he had to close the Eye. Then one of the sparks of energy the Eye was causing seemed to latch itself onto Aegon and started to slowly drag him in towards the swirling vortex. Aegon tried to hack off the tendril of magic with his sword but to no avail. Soon Aegon was dragged into the vortex and he was lost in a kaleidoscope of colours, places and images and the Eye closed before blinking out of existence.
…
Planet Earth. The Watchtower.
Diana of Themyscira AKA Wonder Woman looked at the world below through the observation window. They had failed. Diana's Amazon sister by adoption, Aresia, had created a virus with the intent of killing every male person on the planet due to her extreme interpretation of the Amazon Way. Diana and Shayera Hol AKA Hawkgirl along with Diana's mother Hippolyta had stopped Aresia in her plans but by then it was too late. The virus had spread exponentially and claimed the lives of every male person on the planet before anything such as a vaccine could be created. Not even children or infants were spared, and many mothers cradled their dead children in their arms in despair and mothers-to-be faced the horror of a stillborn child in their womb.
Diana felt horror and revulsion that it was the very beliefs and teachings she prided herself in that were the root of the tragedy that had befallen Man's World and whilst many evil men and criminals had died, just as many, if not more good and innocent men and heroes had died as well. Much of the Justice League were dead as well, leaving only Diana and Hawkgirl.
Diana began to think on each member of the Justice League; Superman was the leader of them, inspiring everyone to do their best and provided hope and inspiration to many. Batman was the foil to Superman, providing realism and practicality and was the best strategist, as well as the most experienced of them. Green Lantern John Stewart, while he and Diana hadn't always seen eye to eye on certain matters and they'd had a less than stellar first impression of each other during their first meeting, Diana respected the Green Lantern's dedication and willpower to get the job done. Flash, although he could be irresponsible and often acted without thinking, he was the most down to earth among them and was the glue that kept them together and in a way, was like the little brother she'd never had. And J'onn was a kindred spirit due to being from another world and although he had lost his entire world and his family and his people, he still carried on fighting the good fight.
All these men were truly examples of what men should be and now… they were all gone. Taken too soon from this world by what Aresia had done because of her interpretation of the Amazon Way.
Shayera walked up to Diana and spoke to her. "Hey, are you okay?" the red-haired Thanagarian asked the brunette Amazon Princess. Diana wiped away the tears that were gently cascading down her cheeks and looked at Shayera and said, "I'm fine, it's just… all our friends… they're gone!" Diana broke down weeping on the spot. Shayera didn't say anything instead she hugged the Amazon close, trying to comfort her as best she could.
"It's okay, Diana, you weren't responsible for what Aresia did," Shayera whispered to her.
"But it was the very beliefs and teachings I proudly followed that led to their deaths!" Diana exclaimed "And now, everywhere in Man's World, the public hate me and my people!" she sobbed.
"You had nothing to do with what Aresia did!" said Shayera looking Diana in the eye. "You would never have taken your people's teachings as far as Aresia had! Don't let anyone tell you any different!" she ordered sternly.
Then Kara Zor-El AKA Supergirl came walking into the observation deck. "Umm. Hawkgirl?" Shayera looked at the younger cousin of Superman "Everyone's here," Supergirl then informed Shayera who nodded. Shayera and Diana then followed Kara into the conference room where the new members of the Justice League waited. It turned out that Batman had a contingency plan in place should any member of Justice League be incapacitated or otherwise unavailable for active duty and had created a roster of replacement heroes. Granted that most of Earth's heroes were male and subsequently had died to the virus, the ones who were female had all come in to bolster and renew the Justice League.
The new heroes had included the likes of Superman's cousins Supergirl and Power Girl from Metropolis and New York. Huntress, Black Canary and Batgirl from Gotham City. Vixen from Chelsea. Fire and Ice from Brazil and Norway. Doctor Light from Japan and Zatanna Zatara from Las Vegas.
"Everyone take your seats, let's get this meeting underway," Shayera announced. Everyone took their seats and Shayera began the meeting.
"As you're all aware, the rogue Amazon Aresia unleashed a virus that was designed to kill all male persons on the planet and while Diana, Queen Hippolyta and I were able to stop Aresia's plans, the virus spread too quickly and consumed the lives of all men and male children on the planet before a vaccine could be created," Shayera recounted the events of the past few hours.
"With most of the world's governments and law enforcement agencies in tatters, it falls to us to help keep the peace," Shayera declared.
"And how do we do that?" asked Zatanna.
"We help out wherever we can," replied Shayera "We split into teams and help restore order in all the major cities around the world," she said.
"And once we've done that?" Huntress asked.
"We hadn't thought that far ahead," admitted Shayera "But we'll work it out when we get there!" she said confidently.
"And what about Aresia? What do we do about her?" asked Vixen "She's still out there!" the dark-skinned beauty warned.
"Once we've restored order to the world, we'll then begin our search for Aresia and bring her to justice," replied Shayera.
"For now, we have work to do!" the Thanagarian said determinedly and everyone was then split into teams and began to restore order to all the major cities around the globe as many women were rioting and the remaining forces of law enforcement were hard pressed to keep the rioting under control.
…
Meanwhile in Olympus, home of the Olympian Gods.
"HOW COULD YOU HAVE LET THIS HAPPEN?!" Zeus, King of the Olympian Gods, bellowed at his two daughters, Athena the Goddess of Wisdom and Artemis the Goddess of the Hunt. Both Athena and Artemis couldn't look their father in the eye as they were both deeply ashamed at what one of their own Amazons had done in the name of the Amazon beliefs they taught.
"Yes, do tell, sweet sisters, how you let such a travesty happen," Ares the God of War put in mildly although a hint of dark amusement was in the God of War's eyes as he delighted in seeing Athena and Artemis being shamed.
Artemis glared hatefully at her brother before speaking to Zeus, "Had we known what Aresia was planning, we would've stopped her!" she said.
"Oh, but you did know what Aresia was planning, didn't you?" Ares said gleefully. "You knew that Aresia would've taken your precious Amazon ideals to this length!" he accused, and his expression turned sour.
"And now, we're stuck in this mess, thanks to one of your bloody Amazons!"
"Then what are we to do?" asked Poseidon the God of the Seas, "Aresia's virus has reached even my favoured!" he exclaimed in anger. "And I have half a mind to sink Themyscira beneath the waves!" he declared.
"I would agree with such an action, dear Uncle!" Aphrodite the Goddess of Love hissed angrily, an expression of cold fury on her beautiful features. It was rare to see Aphrodite so angry as she was at this moment, for she had seen that there were many men in Man's World whose love for the women in their lives was pure and true, and worthy of her blessings. Aresia's actions had caused many women to take their own lives in despair at loss of their loved ones. It was rare for Aphrodite to have such anger, as she usually advocated love and peace and mercy.
Then Hephaestus the God of Fire and Forge spoke. "Can't we simply ask Hades to return the souls of the dead men who died to the virus?" he suggested.
"We could," Zeus said nodding his head slowly, "But, we all know what price he would demand for such a boon!" he warned. All the gods nodded in agreement as no doubt Hades the God of the Underworld would without doubt demand his freedom and the domain of Man's World as his to rule for the return of all the dead men in the world. And there was no guarantee that the souls of the dead would return whole or even sane.
Athena then looked her father in the eye and spoke. "Father, please! Please do not destroy the Amazons! They should not suffer for what only one of their number has done!" she pleaded.
Zeus's eyes darkened as he contemplated his favourite daughter's words before he sighed and spoke. "Perhaps not all the Amazons should be punished for what Aresia has done," he said slowly and quietly. Athena breathed a sigh of relief and Ares glowered darkly at Zeus's words.
"But, I now charge you and Artemis to find Aresia and bring her to Olympus so that she may face my judgement!" Zeus then ordered Athena and Artemis. "Is that clear?" he asked them both.
Athena and Artemis both nodded, showing that they understood what their father commanded of them. Ares then spoke up.
"Father, I too wish to find Aresia and bring her to Olympus to face your divine judgement," the God of War said silkily.
"And why would you want to do that?!" demanded Artemis.
"To make sure that neither you nor Athena hide Aresia someplace far away from Father's gaze and spare her from his judgement!" countered Ares in a nasty voice.
"You may go with them, Ares," Zeus quickly said to his son before Artemis could utter a word of protest. "If only to make certain that your sisters do not hide Aresia from my judgement," he added.
Ares smiled triumphantly, and Artemis fumed in anger, whereas Athena only nodded in acceptance. The trio then left Olympus to begin their search for the rogue Amazon.
Hecate the Goddess of Magic then spoke. "I have had a vision," she announced as Ares, Athena and Artemis left Olympus. "A hero will come to this world in its hour of need," she said.
"What have you seen, Hecate?" Aphrodite asked her sister kindly.
"I see a dragon with scales as black as midnight, eyes like flawless amethysts, stretching it wings and roaring, then I see the Amazon Aresia locked in battle with it. Whether one or the other survives, I do not know, but this dragon will be our world's saviour!" Hecate said as her eyes flickered with the vision she was seeing.
"A black dragon?" snorted Eros, the son of Aphrodite and Hephaestus. "Have you been drinking Dionysus's home brewed moonshine again?" he asked.
"Hush, Eros!" Aphrodite admonished him. "If this is what Hecate has seen, then it will come to pass!" she said.
"Well, Hecate's visions have been wrong in the past," Eros pointed out. "Who's to say that this vision isn't correct?" he asked aloud.
"Enough! I will hear no more prattle!" Zeus commanded. "We must now wait for Aresia to be brought to us, so that I may judge the Rogue Amazon for what she has done," he said in an authoritative voice.
The Gods of Olympus then began to wait for Athena, Artemis and Ares's quest in the search for Aresia to be successful so that Zeus would pass judgement on the rogue Amazon.
…
In a back alley in Metropolis.
Aegon's purple eyes flickered open and he groaned in pain as he slowly sat up and fought down a wave of nausea and pain that threatened to overwhelm him. Casting a minor healing spell which dispelled the thumping in his head, Aegon slowly stood up and stretched his back, his vertebrae popping as he did so. Seeing his sword Blackfyre and the Staff of Magnus nearby, Aegon picked the weapons up and sheathed Blackfyre over his shoulder and held the Staff in his right hand, using it like a walking stick.
"Where am I?" Aegon asked himself as he let his Beast Blood enhanced senses take over. There was a myriad of scents in the air and the smell of oiling burning along with other scents almost made him choke and gag out of reflex. Fighting down the urge to gag, Aegon then looked ahead and saw the exit to the back alley.
"When in doubt, know your way out," Aegon said to himself as he walked out of the alley and was greeted with a most foreign sight. Buildings of glass, steel and smooth stones higher than any building in Tamriel greeted the Dragonborn and he craned his neck to see just how high the buildings went. The buildings almost seemed to kiss the sky they were so tall.
"Where in Oblivion am I?" asked Aegon to no-one as he looked at his new surroundings stunned by what he was witnessing.
"Hey, are you lost?"
Aegon whirled around to point the Staff of Magnus at a young woman with honey blonde hair wearing a garment that was unfamiliar and wearing spectacles perched on her nose.
The young woman was surprised at Aegon's reaction. "Whoa! Easy there!" she exclaimed.
"Who are you? What land is this?" demanded Aegon as the Staff of Magnus glowed threateningly.
"I'm Felicity Smoak! This is Metropolis City in America!" the young woman babbled as she looked at the glowing crystal head of the Staff aimed at her face.
"Metropolis City? America? I've never heard of such a place," said Aegon.
"You're not from around here, are you?" asked Felicity.
"No," replied Aegon "I am from Tamriel," he informed her.
"Do you… do you have a name?" Felicity asked.
"Aegon Stormcrown, the Last Dragonborn of Skyrim," Aegon answered.
"That's a bit of a strange name," Felicity commented.
Aegon snorted before lowering the Staff of Magnus before saying, "Any stranger than yours?" he snarked, glaring at Felicity who shrugged her shoulders a little.
"So, forgive me for asking, but… how are you still alive?" Felicity asked.
"What could you possibly mean by that?" Aegon replied.
"It's just the virus the Amazon Aresia created is still in the air!" said Felicity. "It's killed every male person on Earth! How is it that you're not dead?" she enquired.
"A virus?" Aegon said "What kind of virus?" he asked.
"Well, long story short, an Amazon named Aresia created a virus to wipe out all men on the planet because of Amazon teachings that are generally about men not being needed and Aresia decided to take that belief to the logical extreme," Felicity explained. "Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl were able to stop her, but the virus had spread too quickly, and it consumed every male person on the planet, not even babies or children were spared," she said sadly.
"That… that's monstrous! What would possess a woman like this Aresia to commit such a horrendous act?!" Aegon asked in shock and horror.
"That's what I asked myself," replied Felicity. "But the real question is how you're still breathing," she then said, "The virus is still in the air!" she added.
"I'm not too sure myself," said Aegon not wanting to tell this woman that he was a werewolf.
"So, if you're immune to the virus, we could take some blood and tissue samples from you to create a vaccine to inject in unborn babies so that if they're born male they'll be immune to the virus!" Felicity said in excitement.
"Well, I suppose I could help this world recover," Aegon mumbled to himself "But how do I know I can trust you?" he asked.
"I promise that I won't try to take advantage of you," Felicity promised.
"I suppose that'll have to do," Aegon muttered, "So, what now?" he asked.
"Well, we need to go to STAR Labs," replied Felicity "We can run some tests and get some samples from you and see if a vaccine is possible," she explained.
"Lead the way then," Aegon said.
Walking beside Felicity, Aegon looked all around him in wonder. Only the Dwemer cities could come close to what he was seeing in this realm.
"So, how did you get a name like Aegon?" Felicity asked him.
"It was a name given to me at birth," replied Aegon "Much the same with any child I imagine," he said dryly.
"And what about your other names, like Stormcrown and Dragonborn?" Felicity pressed.
"Well, it's a very long story, but it refers to an ability I was blessed with," said Aegon "I was chosen by Akatosh, one of the Nine Divines to bear the Dragon-blood and possess the power of dragons within me," he explained.
"So, you're a part dragon, is that it?" Felicity asked.
"I suppose in a sense, yes," replied Aegon "It's also to do with my family," he then said.
"Your family? Were they all of this dragon-blood as well?" Felicity asked in a most curious voice.
"I'm not sure I can tell you that," Aegon admitted. "My family history is… complicated," he said guardedly.
"What do you mean?"
"Let's just say that there are many who would wish for nothing more than to see my family house wiped out."
Felicity's eyes widened in surprise at those words from Aegon and she wanted to ask more questions about Aegon's family history. But a curt look from Aegon had her choosing not to ask him any more question about his family.
As Aegon and Felicity walked along the street towards STAR Labs, women began noticing him. Some were talking amongst themselves asking how there was a single male human left alive in the world and some began to follow Aegon and Felicity. Aegon then noticed the crowd of women following them and he whispered to Felicity "We're being followed."
Felicity snuck a quick look over her shoulder before facing the front and whispered back, "I know. Just ignore them for the moment," she advised.
Soon enough, they reached STAR Labs where they entered the building and the crowd of women stood waiting outside almost like a pack of wolves waiting for their prey to come back outside.
The receptionist saw Felicity walk in with Aegon and asked "Felicity? Who is this?"
"This is Aegon Stormcrown, he may be immune to the virus," replied Felicity.
"Well, he must be if the virus hasn't killed him yet," the receptionist observed "How is that even possible?" she then asked.
"That's what we're here to find out," Felicity stated, "Any chance the medical team is available?" she asked.
"Yeah, we've got one or two members of the medical team available," said the receptionist. "Follow me," she instructed. Aegon and Felicity then followed the receptionist to the medical wing where the remaining medical team who were female were then shown Aegon.
Aegon had been asked to strip to his waist, which he did so reluctantly, and he felt the women's eyes on him as he stripped off his ebony plate-mail cuirass and tunic to reveal his battle-hardened and scarred chest and his toned arms. Then the scientists then took some blood samples from Aegon which caused him some mild pain and discomfort at blood being drawn from him. The blood samples were then taken to be studied and tested and Aegon put his cuirass and tunic back on, although he could smell the disappointment coming from Felicity as he put his tunic and cuirass back on.
"So, are you hungry?" Felicity then asked Aegon who nodded. Felicity then led Aegon to the cafeteria where he was introduced to different kinds of food than what he was used to.
"You've never had pizza before?!" Felicity asked aghast with mock horror.
Aegon shook his head "No. What is it?" he asked.
"Pizza is one of, if not, the greatest food in the whole world!" Felicity stated. "You can put almost anything on pizza! Which is why it's one of the greatest foods in the world to eat!" she said proudly.
"I'll take your word for it," Aegon said as he took a slice of pizza if only to try it at least once. Sitting down at a table with Felicity, Aegon took a small bite of his pizzas slice. After a moment of chewing then swallowing, Aegon then spoke "Not bad," he said.
"Not bad? Not bad?! Is that all you can say about pizza?!" Felicity demanded.
"I'm not spitting it out, am I?" Aegon argued as he took another bite of his pizza.
"So, what can you tell me about your world?" Felicity then asked.
"Well, there's a lot to cover and some of what I say will go over your head, so just be ready for that."
Aegon then delved into the history of the world of Nirn and the land of Tamriel where he grew up. He was tight-lipped about his family history although he did divulge that his family weren't born in Tamriel and that his sword Blackfyre was an heirloom of his family.
"So, what is Valyrian steel?" Felicity asked.
"It's a special and rare kind of steel," replied Aegon, "It's much stronger than ordinary steel, never rusts and holds a razor-edge," he explained. "Only Ebony, Daedric or dragon-bone weapons come close to it," he added.
"And your sword is made of it?" Felicity asked as she looked at Aegon's sword. Aegon nodded and slowly drew it to show everyone what Valyrian steel looked like. Everyone's eyes sparkled as they saw the smoky grey shimmering steel blade of Blackfyre, the blade rippling with a thousand folds and ripples and waves all along the blade like water. The blade gleamed in the light of the room.
"Whoa…" was all Felicity could say when she saw Valyrian steel for the first time. "And this sword has been in your family for generations?" she then asked.
"It's been in my family for a while," Aegon admitted "It originally belonged to another family," he then said cryptically.
"Your family stole it?" Felicity asked looking at Aegon sharply.
"it was given to an ancestor of mine," replied Aegon "And it was passed down to me when I was sent away to Tamriel as an infant," he said.
"You weren't born in Tamriel?" Felicity asked picking up on that detail.
"It's complicated," Aegon admitted quietly.
Then a security guard ran into the room. "We've got trouble! A mob of women has formed outside! They're demanding to see our guest," the guard explained.
"Oh, dammit!" Felicity swore "This is not what we need right now!" she said.
"What do we do?" one of the scientists asked.
"We need to call the Justice League!" said Felicity. "They're the only ones who can protect Aegon right now!" she added.
"Justice League? Are they some mercenary company?" Aegon asked in a clueless manner.
Felicity chuckled a little at Aegon's clueless question. "They're not mercenaries," she said to Aegon. "They're a group of heroes with special abilities who help protect the world," she explained. "And they're our best chance of keeping you safe from being torn apart by a mob of desperate women!" she added before she asked for a special phone to call the Justice League. Aegon looked at the communication device in utmost wonder and curiosity as Felicity dialled the number for the Justice League.
…
Aboard the Watchtower.
Everyone sat in their chairs after a long four hours of keeping rioting under control. Some gangs of desperate women had raided sperm banks of all things in some hare-brained plot to get themselves pregnant to have a healthy male child. It was quite surreal to stop gangs of women from robbing sperm banks, but everyone in the League had been hard pressed to keep the rioting under control.
Of course, when the public saw Diana, they immediately started shouting and cursing her and the Amazons for what their beliefs had done. Some even spat on Diana whenever she was near them. It hadn't been very good for Diana's morale and she knew she deserved it for what her people's teachings had done despite the words Shayera had said to her. The others had been supportive enough although they didn't talk to her for longer than a couple of minutes.
Then the Watchtower phone rang, and Dinah Lance AKA Black Canary answered it. "Hello? I beg your pardon?" the blonde asked before her eyes went wide like saucers and she yelled "YOU HAVE A LIVING MALE AT STAR LABS?!"
This got everyone's attention as those words left Dinah's lips. Everyone began yelling questions while Dinah listened to the other end of the phone. "Alright, we'll be there as soon as we can!" the blonde said before hanging up the phone.
"We've got a living male human at STAR Labs who may be immune to the virus!" the blonde siren said to everyone "A mob of women has formed outside and they're threatening to riot!" she then added.
"Alright, we have to go down to STAR Labs and secure the package before those women tear him apart, let's move!" Shayera commanded and everyone scrambled to the Javelins to get down to Metropolis and secure what may be the only hope mankind had left.

STAR Labs.
Aegon sat in a little room given to him for his use. The security had left a pair of guards at the door of the room, both were armed with weapons that looked like crossbows with lathes. Felicity had called them guns when Aegon asked what they were. Aegon had wanted to ask some more questions but he decided that such questions on weapons and arms could wait until he was in a much safer area.
Aegon brought out his own weapons. He still had Blackfyre and the Staff of Magnus, but he also had the Dagger of Woe, some throwing knives, his enhanced dwemer crossbow, the Shield of Ysgramor and his battleaxe Wuuthraad. Carefully inspecting each weapon, checking for flaws and finding none, Aegon then began putting each weapon in its proper place. Blackfyre sheathed on his left hip, his crossbow and Wuuthraad over his back with the Shield of Ysgramor covering them, the Blade of Woe and his throwing knives sheathed on his right hip and the Staff of Magnus in his left hand.
Checking his ebony plate-mail armour, Aegon found it to be working order and waited in the room. If this mob of women intended to tear him apart, he would go down fighting.
Felicity walked into the little room. "Are you okay?" the blonde asked.
Aegon looked at the shorter woman, "What do you think?" he said. Felicity gave a weak shrug and sat down on a chair to keep him company.
"So, what can you tell me of your world?" Felicity then asked.
"What do you wish to know?"
"Well, is your title Dragonborn a sign of nobility?"
Aegon smiled a small smile and replied, "Nay, being Dragonborn grants me little sway in politics, other than with dragons."
Felicity's eyes went wide as saucers. "Dragons exist in your world?" she asked in a hushed voice.
"Aye, it was only until recently that they were all dead," Aegon said.
"All dead? How did they come back?" Felicity asked.
"Alduin, the firstborn of all dragons, had returned and had started resurrecting his brothers in a bid to destroy all mortal-kind," replied Aegon.
"But if Alduin was a dragon as well, how did he come back to life?"
"He wasn't dead. He was cast into a rip of time and space and was flung forward in time and found that all Dov had been hunted into extinction."
"Who hunted dragons into extinction then?" Felicity asked.
"Various warriors and heroes," replied Aegon "But chief among them were the Blades, an order of warriors who dedicated themselves to hunting dragons because of some oath of making all dragons pay for their crimes," he said.
Felicity seemed satisfied with that answer and they both fell into silence and waited for the Justice League to arrive.
…
Outside STAR Labs.
The Javelins touched down on the rooftops of a large building and Hawkgirl exited the space capable aircraft and looked down onto the streets where she saw the mob of women all shouting to see the surviving man.
"Alright, we're gonna go in through the back entrance and secure the package," Shayera announced as the team gathered around. "Some of us should stay out here ready to put the crowd in its place and keep the engines running. We might need a quick getaway," she said.
"Perhaps it's best if I stay here," Diana said "If the crowd saw me, they might assume I'm here to kill the package," she added.
"Good idea." Shayera nodded approvingly at Diana's thinking "Canary, Huntress and Zatanna, you're both with men," the redheaded Thanagarian said to the three heroes who all nodded.
"Supergirl, Power Girl and Vixen, you make sure the mob doesn't try to break into STAR Labs. The rest of you stay here with Diana and keep the engines running," Shayera then said and everyone nodded.
"Let's move!" Shayera and her team then made their way to the back of STAR Labs where they were allowed entry into the building by the security and led to the room where the package was waiting.
…
The door to the room opened and Aegon stood up quickly with his sword handed on Blackfyre and swinging inwards, the door opened to reveal four women. The first woman was wearing a metal helmet that gave her a Hawk-like look and to complete the picture, she had large eagle like wings on her back and she held a silvery grey metal mace in one hand. The second woman was wearing a combination of purple and black armour with a horned mask leaving her eyes and mouth exposed and she had long raven black flowing down her back. The third woman had blonde hair and was wearing a black leather jacket, bodice and what appeared to be fishnets made into leggings and black high heeled boots. The last woman had raven hair and wearing some kind of tall hat and black form fitting jacket with a crisp white shirt with fishnet legging and high heeled shoes.
The four women looked at Aegon appraisingly. Felicity recognised the four and spoke, "Hawkgirl! Glad you got the message!" the bespectacled blonde said to the winged warrior woman. 'Hawkgirl' looked at Felicity and replied "Is this him?" she asked jerking her helmeted head at Aegon.
"I have a name, so use it," Aegon said to 'Hawkgirl's curtly.
"Then tell us your name and we'll use it" Hawkgirl replied snippily.
"Aegon."
"You really aren't from around here," the purple and black wearing woman observed drily.
"What was your first clue?" retorted Aegon.
"Aegon, please! Don't try to insult the women who could be the difference between you getting out of here alive and intact," Felicity said to Aegon who nodded and said to the four women "My apologies, it has been… an unusual day for me," he said with a tight smile.
"We know, same for us," the blonde haired woman smiled back.
"Alright, we need to get out of here before that mob breaks in to get a piece of Aegon," Hawkgirl declared.
"How are we to escape?" asked Aegon "I should let you know, that I am not helpless! I can and will defend myself!" he stated.
"We can see that," Hawkgirl commented "We'll head out the back way to the Javelins and make good our escape," she said.
"Javelins? Are they a sailing vessel of some kind?" Aegon asked.
"It's best if you saw yourself, we don't have time to play twenty questions," Hawkgirl said. "
C'mon! Let's get moving!" she commanded.
"This is farewell for the moment, my lady," Aegon said to Felicity who nodded and said "yeah, but I imagine I'll be seeing you again," she noted. Aegon nodded and looked at his rescuers who then led him out of the building.
"Hope you don't mind, but our… 'ship' is 'docked' up high," the blonde said to Aegon who said "A flying vessel then? Most curious," he murmured.
"Sorry for this!" the hat wearing woman said to Aegon as she grabbed his hand and chanted some strange words and in an instant, they were on a rooftop facing three large vessels that were shaped like spearheads in a way.
Aegon wobbled on his feet for a moment before he looked at the hat wearing woman. "You are a sorceress of some kind," he said rather then asked.
"Yeah, I do use magic," replied the hatted woman "Does that worry you?" she asked.
"Not at the moment," Aegon muttered as he focussed his attention on the spearhead shaped vessels "So, these are your Javelins?" he asked, his purple eyes looking at the workmanship carefully "Sturdy craftsmanship," he remarked.
"If we're done here, can we get moving?" the purple and black wearing woman asked "That mob isn't going to be happy to find that the surviving male isn't there," she pointed out.
"Agreed," Hawkgirl said "Load up and move out!" she ordered.
Everyone climbed onto the Javelins and Aegon was strapped to a chair and there was a loud hum and purr that made him tense up for a moment before the Javelins rose into the air and flew off at breakneck speed.
TO BE CONTINUED…
A/N: well, there it is everyone the first chapter of this story done and dusted. The next chapter will just be some explanation filler as to who Aegon is and his life story, it might not even be that long.
On the update horizon, second chapter of Noblesse Oblige will hopefully be written and published which will be easy to do since it's an explanation chapter that is common with most Halo crossovers, so hopefully it shouldn't take too long to do when I have the motivation to do so. Also, the adoption of the Justice League/Ghost Rider story shouldn't be too far away as I just need to iron out some details as I don't want to nerf or OP Jason Leverage/Ghost Rider and do the original author some justice while adding my own flair to it. Also, my pseudo-Harry/Fleur story Pardon My French should be updated as well but some people have commented that I've done the original author a huge injustice by admittedly butchering the story a little and I fully admit that but I am trying to make it different from the original.
Some new stories and rewrites are also on the horizon such as my Injustice/Skyrim story as there was so much of the Injustice Universe that I glossed over or cut out that I want to correct with a rewrite and I've been looking at my Fallout/Highschool of the Dead crossover and it's not good enough for me, so I'm thinking of rewriting that as well and making it a multi-crossover with Skyrim and Game of Thrones. And I've been thinking of doing a Game of Thrones/Fallout crossover using Aegon Targaryen/Blackfyre as the hero and he ends up in the Mojave or the Commonwealth.
Also, I've set up a voting poll for this story showing a list of romantic options for Aegon Blackfyre/Dragonborn and it's a mixture of the women of the DCAU and some real live models and celebrities and some of you have commented in the past that I should include the WWE Divas. I might include some on the poll but the poll limit is one hundred and I'm close to one hundred already and I think there's about four or five spots left, so if any of you wrestling fans have a Diva you'd like to see on the poll, just write their names down in your review or PM me the details and I'll see which ones I like best to put on the poll. Oh, and remember to vote as well.
So, I'll just leave this here and get to work on the updates and reviews really do encourage me to update faster and more, so long as they're good constructive reviews. Reviews simply telling me to update faster don't encourage me that much, it just comes across as demanding.
May your swords stay sharp, and your tongues even sharper,
