Disclaimer: I do not own Justice League.

Okay...yes, this first chapter was inspired to me watching The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 and Part 2. You might even say it's from the same universe. It's a debate and it's between my character and a guy like Dr. Bartholomew Wolper. I hope the reviews aren't too unfriendly and I hope you don't take away my story for starting this story. Thank you.

What was the difference between Metropolis and Gotham City? People share different views of the crime rate in the cities. Monstrous, tyranny, dark, frightening. What makes these crimes happen? Some think the mayors are mired like piranhas feasting on the ruthless people. It's always been full of psychopaths who feel it's necessary to take over the world. Stopping them was never feasible to the police or the military. When crime escalates who are the ones that stop it?

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martin Manhunter, Flash, Green Arrow, Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, Cyborg, Black Canary, Huntress, Azrael, and many others. They work for hero league called the Justice League. All the criminals in the world are stopped by this league of superheroes. Their methods have saved the lives of many people but have caused protest with psychiatrists and police officers. Some view Superman as the closest thing to a god looking out for them. Some say Batman is symbolic of how you should never be criminals by being afraid. Heroes use to be the ironclad one's fighting other knights to see who deserved to keep land. These heroes could save life but they could take it away just the same. They were covert in their cities. No one knew who they really were behind those masks and clothes only that the police couldn't find them. No tangible piece of evidence pointed them to these heroes.

Kelsey Gilpin, a young but brilliant psychiatrist, was waiting in what felt like the most comfortable chair in the world. He wanted to pick it up and carry it to his home and look at his new roof with it. Kelsey was sometimes mistaken to be a kid. He dropped out his first month of university in his hometown Duana but came back the next year. He spent only two years of college but had eight classes in one semester. Kelsey was the only psychiatrist who dyes his hair blue. Blue was for the ocean because he wanted to be an oceanographer when he was twelve. He loved narwhal whales back then. Then he watched a documentary of how whales killed people. The animals he loved could kill people. Right now Kelsey was wearing an orange suit and makeup. The makeup hid his dead looking eyes.

Kelsey was nervous for this debate. When Kelsey was nervous he would try massaging his own body. He'd start keeping a firm pinch around his head and moving in a circle, then he'd spin his head around twenty times, and when he felt relaxed he'd pressed his fingers against the back of his neck. He arrived thirty minutes early to calm his nerves. When the cameras turned on and the whole world watched him he wouldn't be calm anymore.

The person hosting this debate Bryan Mumy greeted Kelsey with a handshake, complimenting Kelsey's strong handshake. His opponent Izzie Ta appeared, his face sour and his eyes looking at his notes. At eight o'clock Kelsey and him stood on their sides while Bryan stayed in the middle. All Kelsey could do now was take a deep breath in and out...

Five...

Four...

Three...

Two...

One..

" We have two very important people joining us tonight," Bryan said to the camera. " We have Kelsey Gilpin from the small town Duana. Don't mistake it for Smallville. It gets lots of city people there. And joining him is journalist and environmental activist Izzie Ta . Izzie's job is to look after our ecosystem and write stories about his findings to feed to the newspaper, but he's here tonight to speak about the same thing Gilpin wants to share with us, the Justice League: Friends or Danger."

Before the cameras turned on Bryan flipped a coin to see which one of them would go first since they both wanted to go first. Kelsey called Heads and Izzie called Tails. The coin landed on Tails. It was from Izzie's pocket so Kelsey asked to see his coin...he refused.

" The Justice League? Don't make me laugh," Izzie started with a strong rant. " A bunch of super powered beings come together and expect us to humble them? Their egotistical, blacklisted assassins is what they are. Most of them are outlaws to the community except the one calling himself Superman."

" Do you know what they've done for you? For all of us?" Kelsey asked. " They could have let every single one of us die when Joker put bombs around Los Angeles, Darkseid attacked Metropolis, or when the extra-terrestrial Brainiac tried turning us into slaves. Who stopped that from happening? The Justice League. If our soviet's could accomplish this then maybe they would leave."

" Leave? The mayor and the government won't let them leave," Izzie backlashed Kelsey's statement. " They want the Justice League around because they've helped with the Russians, the Chinese, and Arabs. These people are taking soldiers out of their assigned countries and letting more of United States enemies live. In war the enemies should have casualties just like us."

" Your saying you want boys who join the army at the age of eighteen to walk to their death instead of letting trained, advanced beings stop this war with low casualties?"

" You are pulling this way out of proportion. We all know they helped us. But what's to say they don't see us as the threats and go after ordinary humans next? Before it started with only six members and now there may be hundreds of them by next year. We don't know what they'll do. If their trying to help us why can't they let us study them? We'd be safer if everyone had their gifts."

" There's two things wrong with that. Although they may be super-powered most of them are still human beings and human beings only hurt other humans when it's someone like Batman's enemies: Joker, Bane, and Dent. The rest are fighting against aliens and machines. Two: your statements have no real evidence. It's all based on fascist claims with no real contradictory to what's happening."

" Have these so-called heroes appealed so much to you that nothing your country does matter?"

" No. If you must know...I was attacked by the caped crusader named Batman."
