Flaws of the Law

Superman flies across Europe and still hears people crying, screaming, and dying. He soon has a hearing overload.

"How could God let this happen?"

"Why must we suffer?!"

"We're going to die!"

"Any Jews onboard have no right to live for two weeks! Catholic Priests, two months!"

"All queers right here! Any other homosexual is to be taken to the shower!"

"All American and Chinese prisoners are to be contained!"

"This Jap needs to be disciplined!"

"How could Superman let us suffer?!"

After that last one, Superman lost his concentration and started falling to the Ural Mountains. After he collided with the snow and was stuck on the top, he could only see and hear all that was truly happening. He saw a Jewish anorexic man get beaten to death by two German officers, A Chinese family getting separated, the mother was raped as the father got dismembered, and the children torn apart, literally. He saw the Red Army mercilessly killing their own and the opposing army, American jailers in Hawaii torturing Japanese prisoners.

"Why was I brought here?" Superman asked to himself. "Why do I have to witness the absurdities of man and not be allowed to stop it?" Superman, overcome by all that he has and will see, cradled into a fetal position at the peak of the mountains.

At the Batcave

Batman is still at the bat cave and watches his monitors on what exactly is going on in Gotham, he still looks away from Jason Todd's uniform as he works on the radios. After a few minutes, Alfred came down with a meal to serve for him.

"Master Bruce, I do believe you need to rest at some point," Alfred informed him as he assembled the dish on the table.

"I need to find something to do, I can't just sit here and wait for the League of Nations to actually allow us to try to end the war."

"Master Bruce, you've been up for three days inspecting the radios and monitors. I think it's time for you to have a small moment of relaxation."

"Thank you for the sentiment Alfred, but I just don't see how this war can really be over with. Clark has told me that there are death camps all over where Germany and Japan have invaded, exterminating all that are considered inferior, The Red Army's brutality in general, and we haven't done a single thing to take care of it."

"I assure you master Bruce, that within time, we will have what is right to come."

"I think that is the problem," A new voice came from the shadows of the lair. Both Alfred and Batman turned to see who it was, and saw a man wearing a blue overcoat, fedora, and a yellow tie. The most discerning thing was his mask which just made it look like he had no face.

"How'd you get in here?" Bruce asked him, almost about to tackle him.

"I went through the tunnels and saw your cave, so I decided to come in, the gates were unlocked...after I picked them."

Batman quickly proceeded to the faceless man and started punching him for trespassing.

"Hey, careful, you'll break the tape recorder!" The faceless man told him as he pulled out a tape recorder and put it on the floor. "I recorded a conversation from some spies in America, and I decided to come through here, good thing I met you instead of what else comes from the sewers."

"Who are you?" Batman finally asks as he takes the tape recorder.

"I'm The Question, and I already know you're Batman, or Bruce Wayne, but in any case that's all I have to show you, it's time for me to take a powder." The Question told them as he left the Batcave.

Throughout the cosmos of space, a jade armored man flies through the limitless void, holding his lantern and ring as he gets closer to earth. After a few hours, he finally got back into earth and landed in Argentina. He saw the people there run away from him and soldiers quickly assembling around him. The armored man quickly flies out of the country and to Gotham. He notified Batman through one of the radios and entered the bat cave.

"Welcome back to earth Hal," Batman told him as he flew to the monitor room.

"Any updates on the second world war?" Hal asked his friend as Alfred came to the room with a meal.

"Still going strong."

"How's Clark?"

"Taking it the worst out of all of us, I don't know where he is now."

"What about Barry or Jay Garrick?"

"Both are in Keystone City and taking care of things there."

"Artemis?"

"Still in Themyscira, apparently she has an apprentice now and won't be able to come back for a little longer."

The two continued their conversation as The Question hid in the tunnels, recording them. After about fifteen minutes, The Question left the tunnels and back to the surface.

At the Daily Planet

Lois Lane stares at the headline of the Daily Planet: Axis Taken over Majority of Europe

Furious, she went to the editor in chief's office.

"When did The Daily Planet turn into a propaganda newspaper?"

"Ms. Lane, no need to snap your cap-"

"Why do we keep leaving whatever Clark gives us, vital information that could help us take down the Axis, instead we just show the news that make them look strong."

"Ms. Lane, all of those letters that Clark smuggled to us can only provide some help for the cause."

"Oh really?"

"Our own government doesn't want us to show what Mr. Kent has found. They were willing to put me down by gunpoint!"

"And why's that?"

"It could be possible that they have a part of what's going on, the death camps in Germany and Japan as well as the Italian concentration camps, like they've made a mistake and they don't want the world to know."

"And all you're doing is allowing them to continue. Chief, we need to get this out at some point."

"I know, and I hope it will happen soon."
