Chp 1, Welcome to the show!
Superman looked down on the crowd of rioters, with a calm voice and a dead look in his eyes, he descended into the anarchy.
"I'll only warn you once, stop this now." his big red "S" on his black uniform. The rioters stopped and ran, all but one. The kid was no more older than twenty and in college, when he made the last mistake of his life, he threw a bottle at the hero in black. Before the glass container left his hands, Superman vaporized him. One look and it was over, the rioter was now nothing but ash in the wind. And with the same dead look in his eyes, he looked toward Mercy, head security for Metropolis.
"See that justice is done." The big red 'S' ordered her. She nodded swiftly and left in her black sedan as soon as she could, fear was her undertone as she barked orders into her phone.
"Wow...man you need a sense of humor, well I guess you are recruit number one..." a strange man in black had said. His eyes was constantly shifting colors and the smile he had on his face was mischievous. Then all superman saw was a bright multicolored light.

He looked at the console and swore. The weapons shipment to Vandal Savage's Munitions Center made it. He lost some good people today, but he was about to send more out to die. He looked down to the rest of his troops and a plan already forming in his head.
"Montoya, Bullok, Greyson, Gordon, and Todd, get up here now." The man in the black carapace armor ordered. When the five people came up to the command console he turned his chair and faced them.
"I have a new mission for you, that munitions dump needs to be taken out. Montoya, your the demolitions expert; Greyson, Gordon, and Todd, breaking and entering; Bullok, your the muscle. Take as much as you can and destroy the rest." He turned his pointed helm as if he was looking at each of them. A resounding 'yes sir!' echoed in the old subway stop.
"Dismissed."
"Now, now...why so somber?" a man in black appeared from nowhere. He was shot several times before the man in the pointed helmet signaled to stop.
"What are you?" He asked, curiosity in his voice.
"Well I am your best friend as of right now batman, smile for the birdy!" The strange man took out an old camera and seemed to take his picture. After the bright flash of light, Batman was gone.
"Toodles!"And the strange man in black was gone.

He sat in a cell. The lead lined walls kept his...flaw in check. A white gloved hand bearing a plate of food was shoved through the bottom slot. 'salisbury steak...again.' He slowly ate the meal, knowing he could break out at anytime. 'why so lonely?' a sing-song voice was in his head. 'if your wise enough to be able to do this, then your wise enough to STAY OUTTA MY HEAD!' he thought back to the person who he had telepathic link with. 'yes I may be powerful, but who said I was wise?' a strange man appeared in his cell with a mischievous grin on his face.
"Ok, so your powerful and stupid." as he looked into the ever-changing eyes of his guest.
"Quite so." the man agreed.
"What do you want?" the blasé look in his face as he has heard this a thousand times.
"Well, where your going, you won't be hunted, they can make you a special suit to keep your energy in, ANNNNNNNNDDDDDDDD...you will be working with a bunch of others...but maybe four others...an well I get confused somedays...so do you want in?" the strange man gave the illusion of a choice.
"Just fucking send me already." he stood up in a bored fashion.
"Your wish is my command good sir." and with that they was gone, no flash of light, no sound, just gone.

She looked at what seemed a roman legionnaire, but he was in black and red armor and wielding what seemed to be a oversized sledge hammer. He swung and missed, as she ducked and sucker-punched the red warrior.
"Give up woman! I will own you tonight..." He laughed as he swung again.
"No man will ever own me...HERA! GIVE ME STRENGTH!" She shouted the last part, and it seemed as if he strength grew 10 fold. She used her lasso, managed to rope the red legionnaire, and proceeded to play pinball with him as the ball, and the walls as the bunkers. With the last slam onto the concrete, red was knocked unconscious.
"Well, well, well...nice fight, but I lost money...ah well...hera will definitely...why the strange face?" He commented with a confused look in his multicolored eyes.
"Hera would consort...with the likes of you?"
"Careful now...she is listening...now I have a job for ya, you'll be meeting your teammates soon enough, BUUUUUUUUUTTT, she wants to have a word with you..." He chuckled as he looked at her, his eyes dancing.
A beautiful woman just suddenly appeared, wrapped in white silk and gold adornments.
"You will help this...being...his cause is a just one Diana of Themiscyra." The woman had a diplomatic look on her face.
"I will do as you will." Wonder Woman looked to the black clad man with multicolored eyes.
"Ok, call it in the air!" He smiled as he flipped a coin, when it landed, she was gone in a flash of multicolored light.

The Brazilian bombshell was in Metropolis, jade fire wrapped around her body as she was firing off green firebolts. The woman in front of her was shooting at her with a gun, and missing horribly. In the blink of an eye, the gun fell apart.
"Now, now, a beautiful creature like you shouldn't play with guns, especially if you cant hit anything with them." A man in a red unitard and a lightning bolt on his chest snickered.
"The Crimson Brigade will wipe you off the face of this planet!" The woman screamed as she went for a grenade. Green fire encircled the black fatigued mercenary, the fire ate up the oxygen that she was breathing and she was knocked out.
"So, hot stuff, what are ya doing tonight?" He shot a charming smile at her.
"The same thing I always do, cook a nice dinner for my man..." She shot him a seductive smile.
"It's a date Bea." He winked as she blushed.
"Ya might have to take a rain check on that date..." An odd man with multicolored eyes said mischievously.
"Why?" Bea looked at him confused.
"Because I have a mission of the utmost importance...and I need Fire's services." The man smiled.
"If its for justice, I will help." She looked at him unafraid.
"Good." He winked and both of them was gone, leaving a very confused Flash behind.

The five people found themselves in a multicolored room with oscillating color streams and patterns. Fire looked over and recognized Wonder Woman and waved. Wonder Woman saw a person she thought she would never see again. It was Batman...but it wasn't Batman...he was well armed. Two pistols in the small of his back, a pistol on each thigh, a shotgun across his back, and a katana also across his back. His black carapiece armor glinted in the light. The big red 'S' looked at the others with cold dead eyes, the black of his uniform looking tight on him. The kid in a green trench coat looked at the other four with curious eyes.
"Ahhhh, all together I see...now I need you to either retrieve or dispose of this guy." An image of a scrawny guy with goggles and a strange belt that glowed purple appeared in the middle of the room.
"Name?" The pointy eared shadow asked.
"I dunno...but I know he is a dimension hopper, and has a thing for killing hero's...buuuuut, what he has done has broke a wall, by dissipating energy the way he's doing it, the dead hero's come back darker...like looking through the glass darkly." The weird man gave a small lecture.
"So how do we deal with him?" Then big red 'S' looked at the 3d image as if he was committing it to memory.
"Lets just I leave that to you, but you don't have a lot of time. He's just killed the Joker of your universe, which means he's not evil anymore." The strange man had a smile on his face.
"So you want us to go and talk to the Joker?" Wonder Woman had amazement in her voice.
"Who is this 'Joker'?" Asked Batman.
"He was a homicidal madman with a obsession with you." Diana looked sadly at him.
"Why?"
"I don't know." She answered honestly.
"And I don't care, now how am I supposed to help this band of misfits?" The kid in the green trench coat looked bored.
"Radiation signatures." The multicolored eyed man answered.
"He can track him." The black clad Superman deduced.
"Exactamundo boyscout...wait, wrong one...oooops..." He looked as sheepish as a guy in his position could.
"But you seem to have unlimited power, why can't you stop him?" Fire looked at him questioningly.
"Its the fucking treaty..." He spat it out like a vile thing.
"What treaty?" Diana asked.
"The one that says I can only empower others and not not be in your realm, then that means other beings of a darker nature will have access to your realm...and we don't want that."
"But you got us...so you broke the rule..." Superman pointed at him.
"Yes and no...that was only a fragment of me, if I was one hundred per cent in the realm, then I would be breaking the treaty, but ninety-nine per cent is not one hundred per cent." He smiled.
"Then that's how Ares always seems to do what he does..." Diana felt like a child all over again just figuring out how to dodge the palace guards again.
"Yup, now get out there and stop this wacko." and with a wave of his hand, they all disappeared.
