Silas Stone came home late at night to find his cyborg son still awake. "Victor, you're not stuck up here," he said to him.
"It's midnight. What am I supposed to do?" Victor asked annoyed.
"You can have a life, go to the clubs," Silas suggested.
"Really?" Victor said turning to face his father.
"You are the future, Victor. Soon, everyone will be like you," Silas said ambitiously.
"You want to make more people like me?" Victor asked incredulous.
"Soon, I am going to install more bad-ass weapons on your frame and then connect you to the defense grid. You will have complete control over our long rang nuclear bombers," Silas said excitedly.
"You're turning me into a terminator," Victor realized.
"This the beginning of the Revolution," Silas said.
"What the...," Victor wondered.
"Black Power mother-fucker!" Silas said to him.
"Wait...Dad, no," Victor said feeling uncomfortable.
"Son, it's time to get woke. Use all that processing power and get WOKE!" Silas shouted.
"I need to get some air," Victor said and left the apartment.
"Well, at least I got him out of the house," Silas sighed.
Themyscira
The Amazonians gathered around the motherbox in a large dome structure. Queen Hippolyta entered the structure for her daily briefing on the mystical object. She looked over her warriors who had arrows ready to strike the thing if anything were to happen.
"I've noticed the uniforms have become alot sluttier recently," Queen Hippolyta remarked.
"It's the director," General Antiope excused.
Queen Hippolyta nodded not surprised. "Have there been any changes?"
"Not since it awoke," Gen. Antiope replied.
"It hasn't been active in thousands of years. Why did it awake at all?" Queen Hippolyta wondered.
The motherbox then cracked open and a portal appeared from the ceiling. The Amazonians readied their weapons as Steppenwolf dropped down to the floor with a large scythe blade in his hands.
"Steppenwolf," Queen Hippolyta glared.
"Amazonians," he addressed. "I have come in peace."
"Why are you here?" Queen Hippolya demanded.
"My former master Darkseid has conquered countless worlds. He has turned the native inhabitants into his slaves but some have managed to escape. I am leading them to freedom from Darkseid. I request asylum on your world," Steppenwolf explained.
"Why should we trust you? You tried to conquer this world for Darkseid," Queen Hippolyta recalled.
"Noble Queen, that was five thousand years ago. Let it go," Steppenwolf said condescendingly.
"No, fuck yourself," Queen Hippolyta said angrily.
Steppenwolf sighed. "I'm trying to be a good guy for once."
"There is no such thing as a good guy," Queen Hippolyta said.
"Really? Even after five thousand years, you're still following that feminist bullshit. I think you just need to get laid," Steppenwolf suggested.
"How dare you!" Gen. Antiope said offended.
"Oh, I see what's going on," Steppenwolf smirked.
"Your request for asylum is denied. Piss off," Queen Hippolyta said.
"I tried to be nice. Alright, boys, move out," Steppenwolf called out.
A swarm of giant mosquito Parademon soldiers with laser rifles came out of the portal and overwhelmed the Amazonian warriors. Queen Hippolyta quickly used her lasso to take the motherbox away with her. As she ran to the exit, Amazonian guards tore down the wood support beams trapping Steppenwolf inside.
"Like that's going to stop me," Steppenwolf said unimpressed and slashed his way through the walls to the outside.
Queen Hippolyta got on horseback and gave Steppenwolf the middle finger as she rode away. Steppenwolf leaped up and slammed his blade down on the ground knocking Queen Hippolyta off her horse. "Bitch, please," he said amused.
Parademons attacked Amazonian warriors from the air forcing them off their horses. Queen Hippolya took a bow and arrow and shot at Steppenwolf, but he merely flicked it away. "Really?" he smirked.
A large Calvary of Amazonians descended upon the plains towards Steppenwolf. "Oh, shit!" he realized.
"Yeah, you're in a world of hurt," Queen Hippolyta said to him.
"Good thing you're confined to this island," Steppenwolf said as the Parademons gathered around him.
"Coward, stay and fight!" she yelled at him.
"Err...no," Steppenwolf said and used a portal to take himself, his Parademons, and the motherbox away with him.
The Amazonians regrouped in an ancient structure on the coast. Queen Hippolyta took a flaming arrow and shot into the sky. "Will she be enough?" Gen. Antiope asked.
"I doubt it, which is why there is plan B," Queen Hippolyta said and then went over to a sophisticated projector signal. She pushed a button creating an intense beam of green light into the sky. The signal went across the galaxy in the hopes the planet's protector would receive it.
Meanwhile, Diana was working on restoring an ancient Greek statue in Paris. "What did you do this weekend?" the museum director asked.
"I fought some clowns," Diana said.
"You too, hmm," the director muttered.
Diana then watched the TV and saw a news report that an ancient Greek temple was on fire. "Invasion," she realized.
Metropolis
Martha Kent came to visit Jimmy Olsen at the Daily Planet. "I'm sorry I'm interrupting your work," she said apologetically.
"Mrs. Kent, I work on my own schedule," Jimmy assured her.
"Its just with Jonathon and Kara dead, you're the only family I got. I know you two weren't officially married, but I have no doubt you two fucked like rabbits," Martha said.
"That's right," Jimmy agreed. "She was the only woman I ever loved."
"You mean she was the only one you had sex with?" Martha wondered.
"Oh, hell no, Mrs. Kent. I have been with literally hundreds of women," Jimmy clarified.
"You know, back in the old days before I met Jonathon, I was quite the wild one," Martha smiled.
"I bet you were," Jimmy didn't doubt it.
Martha sighed. "The bank is trying to foreclose on my house."
"That's a shame. You go ahead and take this," Jimmy said giving her a suit case filled with cash.
"Where did you get this?" Martha asked amazed.
"Some African warlord. You go take this blood money," Jimmy said.
"You're the best son I could ever have," Marta said gratefully.
"You know, we could be a lot more than that," Jimmy said seductively.
"Oh, behave," Martha scolded.
An Asian reporter came in and stared at the suitcase filled with money. "Hey, Jimmy, can you give me your source from the university?" he asked.
"No, go fuck yourself," Jimmy replied.
"Right...," the Asian reporter said awkwardly and left the room.
Jimmy turned to Martha. "There is no source. Half the stuff I do here, I make up," he admitted.
"No one reads newspapers anyway," Martha excused.
"Mrs. Kent, you look awfully thirsty. Is there anything I can get you," Jimmy offered.
Gotham Outskirts
Diana strolled towards a warehouse on the outskirts of Gotham. As she got closer, machine gun turrets immediately fired on her. "Holy shit!" she realized and used her arm bracelets to deflect the barrage of bullets. Taking her sword and shield, she leaped up and destroyed the turrets. Mines behind her started exploding in rapid succession. Running towards the warehouse at top speed, she avoided the exploding mines and machine gun fire.
Diana finally entered the warehouse bleeding and with tattered clothes. Bruce was working on his transport jet when Diana arrived. Music from Taylor Swift could be heard from the loud speakers. "That one, I think this caused the alien to go crazy," Bruce said referring to the music.
"We have a visitor, FYI," Alfred said dryly.
"You know, I paid millions of dollars for this building's security," Bruce said as Diana came up.
"You asshole, you could have gotten me killed," Diana said bitterly.
Bruce turned to look at her ruined clothes that revealed too much. "Nice," he said pleased. "Next time, give me a phone call you're coming, so I can shut it down."
"I did," Diana said displeased.
Bruce checked his phone and sure enough she had called. "Well, call me when I am not completely drunk," Bruce advised.
"You mean, never," she said annoyed.
"Why are you here anyway?" Bruce wondered.
"We're under attack," Diana told him.
Diana and Bruce strolled out near the lake as they discussed ancient history. "Sounds like a Lord of the Rings knock off," Bruce commented and threw his empty beer can into the lake.
"What?" Diana asked.
"You haven't read Lord of the Rings? I thought that's all you did: read," Bruce said surprised.
"I only read books written by women," Diana corrected.
"Must have been a small library then," Bruce said insultingly.
Diana stepped on his foot. "Fuck," he cried out in pain.
"The motherboxes create doorways to other worlds. If all three are put together, it will allow Steppenwolf's army to overwhelm the Earth," Diana said seriously.
"Sounds badass. Why do we want to stop this from happening?" Bruce asked.
"Because billions of lives are at risk," Diana said obviously.
"Don't worry about it. Even if we can't save the Earth, we can certainly avenge it," Bruce said.
"What does that even mean?" Diana demanded.
"You said there were three of these things. Where are they?" Bruce asked.
"He has the one from Themyscira. The other one is safeguarded in Atlantis. The last one is unknown. The tribes of men buried the motherbox in a secret location so no tribe could take it for themselves," Diana explained.
"Look, if I am going to fight Steppenwolf in epic battle, I am going to need others to make a path through his army of giant mosquitoes. We need allies," Bruce said.
"Like who?" Diana asked.
"I have a signal on one of the recruits: Barry Allen," Bruce said looking at his phone.
"And the other one?" Diana asked.
"Oh, he's dead. He got blown the fuck up, pieces everywhere, parts of his brain on the floor. He ain't coming back from that," Bruce said.
"Ahem," Diana said uncomfortably.
"What?" Bruce asked.
"Have some respect. We're asking people to risk their lives," Diana said.
"I know...and I'm fine with that," Bruce replied.
