Don't own JL but the four new characters I do own. Doubt you'll want to borrow them, but if you do then ask first! Like always don't review if you don't like it or can't come up with constructive criticism.

Chapter 1- problems to solve!

The watchtower had been very quiet over the past few days, ever since Shayera aka Hawk Girl had left the Justice League. John had been very snappy with everyone and surprisingly Flash was the first to realise just to leave the Green Lantern to his brooding.

Diana was sitting in front of the motors that watched Earth. She held a cup of coffee in one hand and was reading a list of new equipment to be brought up from her other hand. She sighed as she heard a rumble from above her and a cry of rage. John had broken another punching bag and was now taking it out on the wall...again.

Mean while Flash was zooming round the streets of Central City making sure all was well. He was just about to head to the other side of town when he heard a shriek from the subway. Rushing down to the opening, he stopped dead.

Diana had just put down the list when her intercom went off. "Watch Tower." She answered.

"Diana...wonders if someone could come down?" Flash stuttered on his end.

"What's wrong? Are you Okay?"

"Yeah, just pull up a camera on where I am." He said weakly. She tapped the keyboard for a bit and found his signal. Typing up a camera she saw the subway entrance and gasped.

Right on cue Batman walked in shaking his head. "John has a right temper, he just about..." he trailed off. "Diana! Are you Okay?" He stepped over to her and stopped as his eyes wondered over to the screen.

"Flash what happened?" he asked over the intercom while watching the young mans shocked face over the screen.

"Don't know! I just came here and saw this." He waved his hand hysterically at the subway entrance.

"I'm coming down." He told The Flash. "Call Superman." He said to Diana as he walked to the bay.

"I'll come with you." J'ohn said as he floated down the corridor. Batman nodded and led the way to the Javelin.

Superman met them round the corner of the subway and was confused at Batman's shock.

"What happened?" he asked, getting very concerned. They all walked round the corner and stopped.

"Locusts?" Superman cried. "I think someone was carrying illegal packages, that's all."

Batman shook his head, "look!" He pointed to where Flash was standing; staring through the mist of insects he saw writing on the Subway wall above the steps.

"The first sign has come, three more, and we're done!" Superman read. "Wait...is that blood!?" He asked.

"I think so." Flash answered, shaking his head. "Don't think I'm going out tonight." He muttered while shaking his head.

In their shock no one saw the cloaked figure on the rooftop. The figure smirked beneath the hood and walked to the far end of the roof.

"What next D?" Another figure moved up next to the first figure.

"Yeah! Do we get some fun?" Two more moved from either end of the rooftop and stood by the original.

"Well you three get some fun. I need to send a second message," D turned to the taller figure. "You up to showing off?" The figure cackled and nodded. "Good job by the way." She turned to the red-cloaked figure.

"Thanks." The figure chuckled.

"And?" The blue robbed one asked.

"The we hit one of them. I think it's more tragic for people to die...so young." The four of them laughed as they leapt off the roof and disappeared into the night. The Justice League had no idea what was in store.
