Chapter 1

He glanced up at the night sky. The stars could be seen clearly from here. Hours before, he had witnessed the Justice League tower crash down, followed by ships. He knew who was in the space ships. Narrowing his eyes, as the wind blew past he sighed. His team mates, Cyborg Raven and Beast Boy, the Titans quietly walked towards him.
"So, man, is she coming or what?" Beast Boy groaned.
"Quit complaining," Raven muttered.
"She'd better come," their leader, Nightwing growled. Suddenly a space ship landed behind them, and out came the Tamaranian princess, Koriandr' a.k.a Starfire.
"Friends!" she greeted cheerfully, hugging Nightwing, who angrily shoved her aside.
"What the hell is going in, Star!" he demanded. She looked at him surprised.
"I do not know what you are talking about..."
"Don't bull with us," Cyborg muttered, "What the hell happened to the League!"
"The League... they were in our way."
"Our!" Nightwing exploded, "They could've killed thousands of heroes!"
"What's going on, Starfire?" Raven asked, darkly.
"My home planet was destroyed." she murmured, "I suggested earth to be our new home."
"You did what!" Beast Boy cried out.
"What is the matter?"
"You don't get it, do you?" Nightwing growled, "The President will ask us to get rid of you and your people!"
"You mustn't! You must help to ensure our survival!" Starfire exclaimed, devastated.
"Don't assume we'll help," Cyborg muttered.
"Why...?" she asked, quietly.
"You and your people are trying to take over the planet!"

"Do you understand the stress we are in?"
"I do, Mr. President."
"I expect all of you to get them out of here."
"We will, Mr. President."
"As long as you understand me," the President said angrily, turning his back on them, "You may leave." Quietly, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash and Green Lantern left the room.
"What should we do?" the Flash asked, "I mean, these aliens..."
"We do as we promised," Superman muttered.
"We need to hold a meeting." John said quietly, as the left the White House.
"We'll get one."

He flipped through the news channels, hoping to catch on updates of the Tamaranians. It was hard though, with the back ground noises from Victor and Garfield."Reporting here live at Gotham City-" Dick Grayson rose from his chair, "-Commissioner James Gordon, along with the many police in New York are at a meeting, discussing a team to help Gothamites and New Yorkers to flee the county..."
"Say what?" Victor Stone suddenly frooze.
"Detective, what do you have to say?" Summer Gleeson asked. Dick's eyes widened when he saw the camera move to a pretty red headed girl with blue eyes.
"It's true, Summer. And rumors have just reached us that Batman is organizing a resistance, with the help from the League."
"A resistance?"
"Yes, if all fail, the people will have to stand up for themselves, with the help from the League."
"Do you believe this?" Raven asked disgustedly, switching the T.V off.
"I can't believe we weren't asked to help." Garfield added.
"Either 'cause it was sent to the Tower, or," Dick started, "all communications are being tapped."
"Or?"
"That's all I can come up with."
"Great," Victor said sarcastically.

"Order! Order!" Superman bellowed, once again. The room filled the the Justice League, along with Batgirl and Robin fell silent. "With Batman still investigating the sight, we are left to do our best to defend our city."
"Do you have any idea what these people... aliens... are like?" Batgirl asked, standing up.
"We may not have as much experience as you, Batgirl, with them, but we need to learn as much as possible from you." Jonz said quietly.
"There's not much to say," Batgirl muttered, "They're always cheerful."
"Anything else?" Wonder Woman asked, impatiently.
"Oh, grow up." Batgirl snapped, glancing back at her lap top.
"It's coming from the T-Tower!" Robin cried out.
"What!" the room erupted with shock.
"Order!" Superman bellowed again. The room fell silent again. "Is it true?"
"Yes," Batgirl nodded.
"I can't believe Nightwing would actually help them!" Flash exclaimed.
"We don't know for sure," Batgirl sighed. "As far as we can tell; he's either in there held captive or helping them OR took refudge to Bludhaven."
"Shayera, get a team and check Jump City," Superman ordered. The woman grumbled to herself getting up and left.
"Is it wise to send her?" Wonder Woman asked curiously.
"We'll keep check of Gotham," Batgirl announced.
"We'll keep check of our own city," Superman nodded. "Flash, can you handle being in Central City, alone?"
"Dude, I've been protecting that city alone for a long time!" the scarlet runner exclaimed.
"We'll call for another meeting anytime soon."

"They're gone!" she cried out, surprised.
"We are unable to find out how." the man replied.
"Find him." she muttered, "I know he'll spill to everyone else."
"We will." he quickly left the room, leaving the princess alone to ponder on their next move. Starfire stole a quick glance at the group photo that hung in the room. Why couldn't her friends understand, her people needed to survive? Will they really fight her? She wasn't sure, but right now, she needed to concentrate on finding them, before any news could be leaked.

The sun blinded him, as he looked up to the clear blue sky of Gotham City. He looked at his familiar surroundings, the place he grew up in. He sighed, as his remaining team mates and friends followed behind, arguing over what to do. As they walked pass Wayne Enterprices, a teenage boy caught his eye.
"Tim!" he gasped. The boy... man looked up at him in surprised.
"Dick!" he exclaimed, "You're alive!"
"Ofcourse I am." Dick muttered.
"You'd better come with me," he said quietly, "All of you." he added noticing Dick's company still arguing.

"What do you mean, everyone thinks we're with them!" Dick exploded."Apart from the fact Starfire's your girlfriend, tranmission came from the tower." Tim muttered, as Alfred came in with a tray of tea.
"The young master's right, Master Richard." Alfred murmured quietly.
"What else happened?" Dick asked, trying to contain his anger.
"Well... Barbara came up with a few theories, Flash became defensive... that's about it I think"
"Theories? Don't tell me she also thought I was with them." Dick muttered.
"Actually she couldn't really make up her mind," Tim murmured as Alfred left the room.
"I can't believe people would think we would help her take over our home." Garfield cried.
"Well, you lot did protect Jump City with her, I don't blame them."
"Look, Tim. Can you help us clear our name with them than?" Dick pleaded.
"You have to ask the leaders." Tim winced.
"Leaders?"
"Leaders."
"Say what!" Cyborg exclaimed confused.
"Who are the 'leaders'?"
"Who else," Tim snorted, "The League... and Batgirl, you could say, is filling in for the big black Bat."
"Where is she?" Dick asked.

The teenage girl, Kara Kent, sighed as she stared out her bed-room window. Her cousin, Clark had made her stay at Smallville, to 'protect' the small country town, while he took care of business at Metropilis. She was also warned not to alarm the small town of the attack that will soon take place. Sighing she sat on her bed. They needed to evacuate everyone before anything bad happens.
"Kara?" Jonathan poked his head into the girl's room. "Aren't you hungry?"
"Uh-no! I'm fine," she quickly responded, "I just got a lot on my mind..."
"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked worriedly, as his wife joined him.
"I'll be fine," she said firmly.

After they had left, he creaped out once again to the site. He narrowed his eyes as he notice something move within the shadows.
"At least everyone made it out alive," he murmured. Picking up an odd object a few feet from the Justice League tower, he stole a quick glance at where someone was hiding.
"Anything new?" Batgirl's voice came through the communicator.
"Yes," he murmured, "Call a meeting. We got company." Narrowing his eyes again, he smirked to himself, before disappearing.
"How did he-" the figure gasped. Frowning, he flew off, to alert the princess.

"I don't have time for games, Tim." Barbara growled, trying to get past the teenager."This is important, Barb!" he exclaimed.
"And so is this meeting!"
"But, Dick's here!" Tim cried out. Barbara froze.
"What, did you say?" she asked.
"Dick. He made it out. He's not working with them"
"Don't joke, Tim." her voice quivered.
"He's not," Dick murmured, appearing behind Tim.
"What... what the hell happened?" she asked.
"They took control of the tower. Held us captave. We made it out, alive."
"I can see that," she snapped, "I meant why are they are?"
"To ensure their survival," Raven muttered, appearing from the shadows, Beast Boy and Cyborg behind her.
"You'd better come with me," she muttered.

"Nightwing!" the Flash exclaimed seeing his old friend, alive and away from the Tamaranians,
"You're alive!" Flash's outburst was followed by many cheers from the Justice League.
"Good to see you again," Helena smiled, seeing him. Nightwing nodded politely, as the Question greeted him.
"Order!" Superman bellowed, the room quickly fell silent, "What news do you have, Batgirl?"
"New information from Batman," Batgirl informed, standing up. Where she sat, the Justice League founding members eyes widened.
"What do you mean?" Wonder Woman asked, standing up as well. Flash quickly joined the group on the stage, before Batgirl could begin.
"Their out there on the streets," she announced, "One of them followed Batman while he was investigating the crash sight at Black Gate."
"I don't believe it," John murmured, "Now they're after us!"
"Batman will most likely keep an eye on them, on the mean time, I think we should evacuate the cities, before any harm can be done." Batgirl murmured.
"They won't hurt anyone," Nightwing announced, "It's against their code."
"They held you captive, and you're defending them!" Shayera exclaimed.
"We'll keep a sharp eye at our station, if by any chance the people find out, we will evacuate, other than that, act as if nothing has happened." Superman announced.
"The Gotham Police already know," Robin exclaimed.
"Protect the city as if nothing is wrong," Superman repeated.

"Why are you defending them?" Barbara asked impatiently, as Alfred served them their dinner."I'm not," Dick muttered, under his breathe.
"You were," Tim piped in.
"Look, Dick," Barbara said calmly, after Alfred left, "I know she's your girlfriend and all, but face the facts, they're out to-"
"I know 'em!" Dick cried out angrily.
"She's right," Raven murmured, "They're out to get us, Richard. You're the only one who can't see that." After a moment of silence, Barbara stood up, her plate hardly touched.
"Where are you going?" Tim asked.
"I have a meeting tomorrow." she stated.
"So?" Beast Boy asked.
"That means I have to go now." she muttered.
"What meeting?" Dick asked, curiously.
"Not that it's any of your business, but it's Gotham Police, if you must know." aburtly, she stood up and left. Alfred came back momentarily, surprised that Barbara had left the room.
"Where is Ms. Gordon"
"She left," Tim replied.
"Oh dear," Alfred sighed.
"Oh dear?" Cyborg looked at the elderly man curiously.
"It's nothing to be worried about," Tim quickly responded, "She's just been really busy, with Batman's disappearing every five seconds, working at the police station, and helping out at home."
"She shouldn't over work," Dick simply said, eating quietly.

Tapping her pencil on the desk, Barbara stole a quick glance out the window. The sun gleamed into the room, blinding her.
"What do you think, detective?" Renee Montoya asked. Barbara looked at her, than blinked.
"I agree."
"I thought you spaced out on us," Harvey Bullock smirked.
"My mind is off somewhere, but also here, if you get my jist." Barbara smiled, slyly.
"You are just plan weird," Bullock muttered.
"Thank you," Barbara smiled.
"O.K, so we'll do it?" Montoya asked.
"We'll just have to make sure though. The League may stop us." Barbara sighed.
"We'll make sure to help, than when they come to their senses, we'll take them there." Commissioner James Gordon sighed, getting up, "Get back to work."
"Yes, sir!" everyone chorused, before leaving the room.

"Hello!" a familiar voice chirpped, waking him up. He looked up to see his child-hood sweet-heart, Lana Lang standing in front of him.
"Lana!" Clark Kent exclaimed, surprised, "What are you doing here?"
"Heard something was up," she said, quietly.
"You heard right, and you shouldn't be here." Clark said seriously.
"You're no fun," she pouted.
"I'm serious Lana, if anything happened to you, I'd would never forgive myself."

Not to far away, Lois Lane leaned further back on her chair, trying to listen to the conversation.
"You seriously need an attitude adjustment, Clark," Lana exclaimed.
"I'm serious Lana," Clark frowned.
"O.K, O.K," Lana sighed. Lois slowly got up and made her way to Clark Kent's desk.
"Hey, Smallville," Lois nodded, "You got the item done yet?"
"Already in Perry's office," Clark nodded, looking up.
"Good." she responded, before making her way to the cheifs office.
"I can't believe you haven't asked her out yet," Lana whistled.
"Lana."
"I'm going, I'm going!" she exclaimed.

"So he knows where we are?" she asked, after hearing the report.
"He knows that all of us are out there," the soldier corrected, "What should we do?"
"Go as planned," she responded, "The survival of our people is important."
"As you wish," he responded, before walking out of the main room. Closing her eyes briefly, Starfire looked at the group photo that was taken, on the screen. She couldn't understand why her friends would leave. Why would they help the other heroes? Weren't they her friends?
