A/N: The idea just came to my mind after watching Superman Batman Public Enemies on YouTube. I always wondered what would have happened if the other members of the Justice League were there, especially Diana because I love BMWW relationship and can't get enough of them. I really don't know what I wrote down is good or not, but I would request to give it a try. LOTSlover encouraged me many times to write but I didn't dare. Well, now I just took a chance. I know it is no near good as the stories of LOTSlover and it never will be but I will try my best. Hope you like it. And many many thanks to LOTSlover for writing the amazing BMWW fics. She is the best of the best. I look forward every week for your updates of BMWW fics, LOTSlover.
BMWW always. :D
Let me know what you people think.
Ah well, English is not my first language so there may be some grammatical errors.
METROPOLIS
Several police cars drove through the street while guarding a black limo which was moving slowly in midst of the police cars. The police sirens were sounded to alert the civilians, telling them to clear the street to make way for the President. President Lex Luthor. The former villain had managed to secure the position of the country by trickery. He caused the downfall of the economy with the help of his several criminal sources when the former President was in the seat. That was one of his strategies to remove the President from his position and take that position for himself.
Why did he went through so much trouble to secure his position as the President? For the welfare of the country or people? Or the former President was incapable of performing his duties so Lex Luthor was desperate to remove him? No. His ultimate motive was to get power. That's all he seeks so that he can take down Superman and the Justice League in the process. Now being a president he has several members of the Justice League as his puppets – Captain Atom, Katana, Black Lighting, Power Girl, Star Fire and Major Force. He has a slight issue with Power Girl. She seems not to trust him completely but no matter, he has Captain Atom in his hands. That ought to do.
Although he had six members of the Justice League under his control he knew it wasn't enough to bring Superman down. The Man of Steel can take on them and he cannot order direct assault on Superman without any reason. The original seven members of the Justice League were still opposing him – Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, The Flash and The Hawkgirl. In a previous Gala, he had attempted to talk some sense into Wonder Woman and tried to get under her skin. His attempts were futile as she only acknowledged his presence politely and refused to let him close to her physically. She even turned down his offer to dance.
He is attracted to her, he lusts for her. After all he is the President. If he can seduce Wonder Woman in liking him, he can have power which he cannot imagine now. After all she is one of the Trinity of the Justice League. Many rich people were invited in the Gala. When Wonder Woman politely rejected his advances he thought that maybe she really don't like men. After all she is from an island of male hating Amazons. But he kept his gaze on her all the time. Her big blue eyes, red lips, raven locks and not to mention her body which screamed for male attention. He couldn't get himself out of his lustful thoughts about her. What he noticed next more than surprised him. From time to time he saw Wonder Woman had her gaze locked on none other the billionaire playboy of Gotham, Bruce Wayne. She even accepted his offer to dance. That totally surprised him. The Princess of a male hating tribe dancing with a womanizer. Why did she reject him? Surely he was far better option than Bruce Wayne. He even observed that she had a small smile on his face as she danced with Wayne. That incident still fumed his whole body with anger.
Meanwhile his car has already left the city and heading towards his private and highly secured home. He stepped inside the house while his guards stayed outside. He went straight to his office and sat down on his chair. He was more than frustrated. He was angry. He needs a plan. A perfect one to order arrest of Superman. He knew the Man of Steel would resist and when he does, he will be taken down by force. But the question is how? He began tapping on his table but nothing came to his mind.
He was about to get up for bed, at that moment his secretary entered the office.
"Mr President. There's an urgent matter which you need to see for yourself." The female secretary said.
"What's the problem?" Luthor sighed, rubbing his face tiredly.
"You are requested to arrive at the Space Station, Sir. Everything will be explained to you there." She said.
"Very well." Luthor said getting up from his seat.
SEVERAL HOURS LATER AT THE SPACE STATION
"Mr President." General Miles greeted Luthor and shook hands.
"What's the urgent matter, General?" Luthor asked curiously.
Instead of answering he pointed Luthor towards the screen in front of them. A large green meteorite was visible on the screen which was flying very fast.
"What is that?" Luthor asked.
"That's a Kryptonite meteor, President. It is fully radioactive and it is coming straight towards us." The General informed.
"How big it is?" Luthor inquired.
"About half the size of the moon, Mr President. If it hits us, there will be nothing left on this planet." The General explained.
"Then what are you waiting for? Blast that thing before it enters the Earth's atmosphere. Use nuclear weapons if necessary." Luthor barked.
"Very well, Mr President." The General acknowledged his order and gave instructions to launch nuclear missiles on the meteorite.
They kept their attention on the screen as the missiles were launched towards the space. They waited until the missile reached near the meteorite.
"Impact in 10…9…..8….7….6….5….4….3…2…1"
Everyone had to shield their eyes from the light that was released when the missiles struck the meteor. The signal disrupted as they lost visual on the meteor. Everyone begin to rejoice for their success. Luthor shook hands with the team that launched the missiles.
"Confirm that the target I destroyed." The General said.
Few seconds passed. Everyone was sure that the meteor was destroyed but their joy was short lived when they got back the visual. The meteor was still intact and it was still coming towards the Earth at great speed. Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What the hell happened?!" Luthor yelled.
"Mr President, the meteor is so radioactive that our missiles couldn't even reach it. They were detonated before the impact because of the extreme radiation." The General said.
"Then do something else! Can't you see the danger?!" Luthor said outraged.
"Our top scientists are already working on a possible solution Mr President." The General informed calmly.
"How much time do we have?" Luthor asked.
"ETA 39 hours 57 minutes 22 seconds." One of the workers informed.
Luthor turned away from the screen and slowly left the station. On his way back to his home he thought about the meteor.
Kryptonite meteor…. Kryptonite meteor….. Kryptonite….. Then he stopped as an evil plan formed in his mind. A cruel smile appeared on his lips. Finally…. He can take down Superman.
WATCHTOWER
Diana of Themyscira, aka Wonder Woman, Princess of the Amazons stormed down the hallways of the Watchtower. Her fingers were clenched tightly at her sides, her eyes were full of fury. Although Diana always seem to smile, laugh and be gentle with everyone, her anger is also well known. No one dared to step in the way of the breathtakingly beautiful Amazon. Her ocean blue eyes which always held a gentleness was now filled with anger. She went straight towards the cafeteria to calm herself down. She located an empty table at the corner and took a seat there. Flash saw Diana there and as usual he tried to talk to her but he backed off when he saw the scowl on the Amazon's face. At the last second he thought the better of it and zipped away from there in a red blur with food staffed in his tray.
Diana kept staring at the wall absentmindedly, trying to compose her emotions which were running wild at the moment. She broke out of her trance when she saw someone placed a glass of ice mocha in front of her. It was Shayera aka Hawk-Girl.
"Mind if I sit here?" Shayera asked. Diana merely shrugged in reply and continue to stare towards the wall. When Shayera noticed that Diana didn't take the Ice Mocha in front of her, she realized something must have happened to upset her because she isn't the one who usually gets upset over something.
"What's wrong Diana?" She asked placing her hand over Diana's.
"How dare they say such horrible things about….. him?" Diana greeted her teeth in anger.
"Say what about whom?" Now Shayera was totally confused.
"They said he is cruel, heartless and many other things. They even said he didn't care…. How could they when he…." She stopped to bring her emotions under control.
"Diana who….." Shayera questioned again but she was stopped by the Princess.
"How dare they disrespect a senior League member? He is heartless? No. He has the biggest heart and the most caring person I know about. Every day he risks his life to bring justice without any powers. He relies only on his skills and gadgets. That…. That makes him more special." Diana murmured.
Shayera noticed the tone of admiration in Diana's voice. But there was something more. Sure she saw Diana flirting with Batman on several occasions but she thought that it was only out of attraction. Now she knew better. Diana, Princess of the male hating tribe is angry because someone insulted Batman behind his back. A small smile appeared on her lips at the realization that the Princess is indeed in love with the Dark Knight of Gotham.
Who would've thought? She asked herself.
She quickly hid her smile when she heard Diana talking again. "He has sacrificed everything. A chance of leading a normal life, a chance of happiness so that no one have to go through what he did, when his parents died. He is a very noble man." Diana said with a smile on her face.
"Diana….?" Shayera said quietly.
"Yes, Shayera?" She asked absentmindedly while playing with a tendril of her hair and a smile on her face.
"Do you love him?" Shayera asked quietly.
"I do." Diana confessed instantly, still in a trance.
Shayera was taken aback at her friend's confession but she wasn't entirely surprised at Diana's honesty. She is nothing but honest. Always. Then Diana seemed to get out of her trance and realized what she just confessed. A massive blush begin to cover her whole face immediately. Shayera laughed seeing the expression on Diana's face.
"You know there's already a bet going in the Watchtower on how long will it take the two of you to hook-up." Shayera laughed again.
Now Diana seemed confused. "Hook-up?" She asked.
Shayera stretched herself over the table and murmured the meaning of hook-up into Diana's ear. Hearing Shayera's explanation the Princess's cheeks turned pink. Shayera had to stop herself from giggling watching the most powerful woman in the world blushing like a school girl.
They had to stop the conversation when John aka Green Lantern arrived. "Hey, Diana. Shayera." He greeted them both but the latter with a peck on the lips. "You two saw the news?"
Both of them replied negatively. "What's going on?" Diana asked.
"Luthor has invited Superman for a private meeting." John said.
"Why?" Shayera asked.
"Luthor wants to talk to Superman about co-operating with him. Luthor knows that at least we, the founders don't trust him a bit." John explained.
"Why do I get the feeling that Luthor is up to something else?" Shayera said. Her detective mind has already started to work.
"I am also getting a bad feeling about this invitation. By the way where is Superman?" John said.
"He took a day off." Diana said.
At that moment J'onn contacted them telepathically to meet him in the monitor room stating that the matter is urgent. When the trio reached there Flash was already there chewing a hamburger.
"What's the emergency J'onn?" Diana asked.
"Look." J'onn indicated towards the screen in front of them. Everyone's eyes widened seeing what was on the screen.
"Is that a meteor?" Flash asked.
"Not just any meteor but a Kryptonite meteor heading straight towards the city of Metropolis." J'onn answered.
"Damn! How long do we have?" John asked.
"Not long." J'onn said closing his eyes.
"How can we destroy it?" Flash asked.
"We can't. It contains too much radiation. Even the nuclear weapons couldn't reach it." J'onn replied.
"Well there must be something." Flash said desperately.
"At the moment we have nothing. No one can withstand that radiation, even Superman." J'onn said.
"What are the government doing?" Diana asked.
"They are already working on it, Diana. For now, we have no plan." J'onn said in a defeated voice.
METROPOLIS, LOIS LANE'S APARTMENT
"Clark! You should see this." Lois said.
"What is it Lois?" Clark came immediately.
On the T.V he saw Luthor inviting him for a private meeting in a park outside Metropolis.
"What do you think, Clark?" Lois asked.
"I don't know, Lois but whatever it is I have to find out."
"You will go?" Lois questioned.
"You know that I have to. Otherwise Luthor will turn my absence into another issue." Clark said while opening his suit, revealing the 'S' on his chest.
"I know." Lois said a bit depressed.
Clark placed his hand on her shoulder gently. "Hey, I will be back in no time." He assured her.
She nodded. Superman was about to fly away through the window but she stopped when he felt a hand covering his wrist.
"Lois….. mmph!" That was all he managed to say as Lois crashed her lips on his. But she pulled away too soon for his liking. "Be careful." Lois said, placing her hand on his cheek.
"I always am." He replied with a lopsided grin and took off into the sky.
Lois watched him slowly disappear into the sky. She turned around and let out a sigh. No matter what she has a bad feeling about this whole Luthor incident. She couldn't help but worry. He maybe the Man of Steel, but he is not invulnerable and Luthor knew about his weakness. That made her worry more for her boyfriend.
AN HOUR LATER OUTSIDE THE CITY OF METROPOLIS
"Ah! Superman. You have come." Luthor greeted the Man of Steel.
"What do you want, Luthor?" Superman said, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Ah! Straight to business. No problem. I want you to surrender yourself and the Justice League to me. From now on, the Justice League will act under my authority." Luthor offered with a grim smile on his face.
Superman narrowed his eyes. "You know that's never going to happen. The Justice League will never fall under your authority."
"Is that your final answer, Superman?" Luthor said turning away from Superman, his hands clasped behind his back.
"Yes." Superman replied.
"Very well. Perhaps my friend can change your mind. Have a pleasant chat, Superman." Luthor said while entering his limo. But another person exited from the same limo when Luthor got in. He wore a long coat and a hat with his hands tucked inside his coat pockets.
Superman's eyes widened seeing the person's face. "Metallo!"
"We meet again, Superman." The villain said throwing away his coat and hat. Then he jumped at Superman and kicked him on his chest which sent him fly away and crash against some trees. Superman flew straight at the villain punching him hard on his chest sending him against the wall at the far end.
"You don't want to do this, Metallo." Superman said.
Metallo pushed away the rubbles that fell on top of him. "You are wrong Superman. I do want this." He said and opened his chest to reveal the Kryptonite. Immediately Superman felt his strength begin to falter. He came down on the ground and tried to shield himself from the stone's radiation. But Metallo gave him no chance. He ran at Superman and tackled him to the ground. Superman felt very weak being so close to the Kryptonite. He couldn't do anything when Metallo begin to pummel him repeatedly.
The villain pulled Superman on his feet by the front of his uniform and then delivered a massive uppercut to the hero's chin sending him flying to the sky. Being exposed to the Kryptonite and receiving severe punishment from Metallo, the hero became weak. He helplessly, crashed down on the ground making a small crater. Superman slowly opened his eyes only to see Metallo's boots coming towards his face. The villain stomped the hero's face repeatedly until he made Superman groan from pain.
"What's the matter hero? Feeling rather weak?" He mocked Superman. Slowly he pulled out a gun from his pocket and aimed it towards Superman's head. "Goodbye, Superman."
Superman could see that the gun was loaded with a kryptonite bullet but he was helpless to do anything. As the villain was about to pull the trigger a small, but sharp and metallic object hit the gun in his hand dropping it on the ground.
"What?!" Metallo said surprised.
Metallo didn't see but Superman saw it. A dark shape passed over Metallo's head and in the next second Metallo was blasted away from his position. Superman opened his eyes to see the dark shadow looming over him.
"Good timing." Superman said with a tired smile. He slowly got on his feet and stood beside his friend. "You know that's not going to stop him." Superman said.
"I know." Came the curt reply of the Dark Knight.
Batman only just finished his answer and at that time Metallo charged again. Batman was able to swiftly move away from Metallo, unfortunately Superman couldn't as he was already very weak and tired. A powerful punch against the hero's jaw threw him twenty feet away on the ground. Batman put on the electric knuckleduster and dealt few blows to Metallo, but they barely fazed him. With a quick backhand he knocked Batman aside. Superman managed to recover somehow. He uprooted a tree and swing it towards Metallo when he saw the villain charging him. Metallo flew away towards the sky and crashed down hard on the ground. Superman immediately came to his friend's aid who was already getting up on his feet slowly.
"Bru…. Batman are you okay?" Superman asked worriedly.
"I am fine, Superman." Came the gruff reply. "Let's get out from here."
"How? I am too weak to fly us away from here." Superman said.
"We have to get to the seaware." Batman advised. "Look out!" Batman yelled while trying to save Superman but the kryptonite bullet did hit him in his chest. With a groan Superman fell down inside a large crater created by Metallo.
"Superman!" Batman almost yelled. He looked inside the crater to see his best friend groaning from pain.
"Give it up, Batman and leave while you can." Metallo warned sarcastically.
Batman shocked the villain with his batarang but that only stopped the villain for a second. In the next moment Metallo grabbed him by his throat and threw him down in the crater where Superman lay, groaning in pain.
"Clark, you okay?" Batman said checking the wound on his chest. Luckily the kryptonite bullet missed his heart by his inches.
"I am holding on….. Bruce we need help." Superman whispered tiredly.
"Our communicators are destroyed Kent. We are on our own." Bruce replied.
The two heroes couldn't do anything else as a large amount of earth fell on them, completely burying them.
"Hold on." Batman said gritting his teeth. He could feel the pressure of the earth on his back. It was becoming almost unbearable for him to withstand the pressure. With last bit of his strength he applied explosive gel at his feet and detonated it. The earth under their feet crumbled and both of them fell down inside the sewer. Batman could feel that the explosion broke at least one of his ribs. Slowly he got to his feet and went to Superman who was lying on his stomach, unmoving.
"Kent, get up." Batman said shaking his friend.
Superman groaned and opened his eyes slowly. Batman helped him up on his feet by placing one of Superman's arms around his shoulder. Unsteadily the two superheroes begin to walk towards their destination.
WATCHTOWER, A FEW MINUTES LATER
"Citizens of Metropolis, I am here to inform you that our hero, Superman has lost all of his controls and sanity. Tonight, during my private meeting with Superman I proposed him to co-operate with the Government. Not only he refused, but look what he did to one of my friends." Luthor announced. The screen turned towards a crumbling and smoking body of Metallo who was lying on a large table. "Look how inhuman he has become. He has lost all his inhibitions. Superman tried to attack me but when my friend stepped between me and him, he killed my friend. The radiation of the kryptonite meteor is messing with his mind and for that we can assume that he is dangerous to our society. What happened to my friend can happen to anyone of you. So with great regret, I am ordering the arrest of Superman."
"That man has gone mad! Supes would never do something like that." Wally complained.
"This is one of Luthor's games." Shayera said.
"Last time we met on the Gala he tried to get close to me. I don't know why, but he was up to something." Diana added.
"J'onn, are you able to contact Superman? Or Batman?" John asked the martian.
"No. Both of their communicators are down. I tried to locate Superman with my mind but I couldn't sense him." J'onn replied with a grim expression. Something is not right. He can feel it.
"What about Batman?" Diana asked.
"Diana, I can't locate Batman with my mind. Somehow he found a way to shield me mentally." J'onn said honestly.
"Why am I not surprised?" Diana said rolling her eyes.
At that moment the alarm of the Watchtower went off.
"What's going on?" Shayera asked.
"A spacecraft from the Government is approaching the Watchtower." J'onn said turning the alarms off.
"Now what could they possibly want?" Shayera muttered under her breath.
Few moments later a Government official walked inside the Watchtower with at least fifty soldiers in his toe.
"Under the President's instructions we are taking possession of the Watchtower for an infinite time and placing all of you under arrest. I would request you to co-operate with us and come with us quietly." The Official announced.
"Are you crazy?" Shayera yelled almost immediately.
"Please co-operate with us Miss or we will be forced to bring you down." The man replied calmly.
"I would like you to try that." Shayera said with her mace in hand.
"Shayera don't." John stopped her.
"We will come with you." Diana said calmly.
"Very well. Now we will take control of the tower." He indicated his men. But before they could proceed towards the other section several doors closed down and blocked their way.
"What is this? You are defying the order of the President." The man shouted angrily.
"We are sorry, Sir. But you must understand that we have nothing to do with this because Batman designed this Watchtower himself and somehow he found out that you are trying to seize control, even he is not here." Green Lantern explained.
The Official was still fuming in anger but he had to accept that the hero was telling the truth because no one has moved from their position since they arrived. No one…. No one except….. "Wait. Where is Mr J'onn?" He asked looking around. It was true the Martian Manhunter wasn't there any longer. Somehow he has managed to disappear without anyone noticing.
The four heroes shrugged. They clearly had no idea where J'onn is.
The conversation ended there and they boarded the Government spacecraft.
AT LUTHOR'S HOME
Luthor picked up the phone when it rang. "Hello?"
"Sir, we have the Justice League under arrest, as you ordered." A voice was heard.
"Excellent job, Jonathon. I am ve….."
"But Mr President….. One of them escaped. The Martian has escaped and we couldn't take control of the Watchtower. It seems they have some security measures over there."
"Why you incompetent fools!" Luthor yelled. "I will deal with you later." Luthor threatened cutting the connection.
The Martian has escaped. But…. An evil smile formed on his lips when he thought that Wonder Woman is in his hands now. He has many plans regarding her and if his plans work, then nothing, not even the entire Justice League will be able to stop him. He opened his drawer and pulled out a syringe which was filled with a green substance. He injected the substance in his veins. As the green liquid begin to mix with his blood he begin to sweat and groan. The pain was gone in the next second. He sat on his leaning comfortably.
"At last you are mine, Wonder Woman." He whispered smiling evilly.
