Chapter 3: Valiant Warrior and the Justice League
Note: I do not own any of the Justice League characters besides the OC character!
"So your name is James Davis?" The Flash asked.
James nodded. "Yeah, I hail from Gotham City just like Batman."
"And you have superpowers?" Superman wondered.
"Yeah." He replied. "I was captured by the Mad Hatter and the Penguin…"
James relayed his story of how he acquired his Solarium and his fight against Nero.
"Man, quite a show you put on." The Flash said cockily.
"Thanks." He replied. "But as soon as I learned about the invasion, and Green Lantern being captured, I couldn't just let it happen. I mean me and Pam—"
"Poison Ivy?" Jon asked.
"H-how did you know that!?" James stammered. "Did you read my mind?"
"Yes." He said. "And I heard it from Batman."
He sighed. "Yes, I am dating a former supervillain."
Everyone except Jon gasped.
"Poison Ivy!?" the Flash exclaimed. "The crazy plant lady!?"
James suddenly stood up.
"Watch it you." He said dangerously. "She's not a supervillain anymore. We're together and she's different now. Honest!"
"Alright that's enough!" Superman cut in. "We can tell our stories later. Right now we have a friend in need and we should be going!"
Everyone else nodded and started for the hangar bay.
"I wish to help." James requested.
Superman looked at Jonn, who shrugged.
"Alright, we'll need all the help we can get. If you really can fight, you'll be of great use to us."
James nodded. "I'll do my best!"
Meanwhile…
The prison ship landed, and the Manhunters walked out with John Stewart in handcuffs. Waiting for them was an angry mob of aliens from across the galaxy.
"It's best you don't leave your containment area." One of the manhunters said. "This won't be a kind place for you."
John said nothing as he walked towards his prison. Soon he was locked in a force field and left alone. He looked up towards the remains of the destroyed planet and frowned.
Later...On the ship to the prison…
"Why would John give up his ring?" Hawkgirl asked.
"He's a strange one he is." Superman replied.
"I'm starting to think all of you humans are."
Superman looked at her puzzled.
"Sorry." She said.
"It's ok, I take it as a compliment." He chuckled.
James looked around the ship; he couldn't believe all this technology.
"Alcor are you seeing this?" He asked.
"Indeed I am, very impressive handiwork. And I believe it was John Stewart that built the Watchtower too."
He frowned. "Man, it all comes back to him huh?"
"Do you think he's guilty?"
"No." James replied.
"We haven't even met him though." Alcor reminded him.
"I know, but to be honest I think there's more here than meets the eye."
"I was just thinking the same thing."
Suddenly, the ship rocked to the side as enemy fire struck its hull.
"Whoa!" He yelled out.
Enemy ships were firing at all sides.
"They're not responding to our signals!" The Flash warned.
"It's clear what they want I say we give it to them!" Hawkgirl said.
"Don't! We're not here to start a war." Superman ordered. "Flash, take the controls."
Jon, Hawkgirl and Superman quickly went to the back of the ship.
On the way, Superman stopped by James's chair.
"We could use the help." He asked.
James/Valiant stood up. "I'm here! Alcor, help Flash steer the ship!"
"You got it." Alcor's blue energy flew out of James's body and fused with the ship. So the four of them flew out and attacked the enemy fighters.
"Remember we're not here to destroy! Just disable them!" Superman warned him as they chased them.
"Got it!" Valiant understood as he flew behind one of the ships.
"Using my Solarium here might destroy the ship and that's too risky…" He thought. "So…"
He went into his utility belt and took out a few batarangs. He flung them behind the
thrusters, disabling them. The ship started to lose altitude, but not enough for it to explode.
"Good, one down." Valiant counted. He turned in the air and watched the other superheroes in action.
Superman used his heat vision and disabled the thrusters from behind, while Jon phased through the ship and blew out its engine. But then he saw Hawkgirl deliver a vicious blow with her mace and blasted a hole behind the ship and set it on fire, sending it spiraling down towards the ground.
"Hawkgirl!" Superman flew past her.
"What?" She asked, but then saw the ship falling towards the ground being chased by the Kryptonian.
"Oh that."
Moving quickly, Superman flew under the ship and slowed it down and placed it gently on the ground. He then used his ice breath and blew the fire out.
At the same time The Flash was having trouble controlling the ship.
"'Flash take the controls', did anyone even ask if I knew how?" He complained.
"Push that button!" Alcor ordered.
"Which one?"
"That one!"
A yellow button started flashing, so he pushed it, turning on the landing jets. The ship landed awkwardly and slid towards the edge where it came to a complete stop.
"Whew, thanks unknown voice." The Flash said.
"Anytime, and the name is Alcor." Alcor replied.
"Well, a safe landing is—"
As he left the ship, he was suddenly surrounded by enemy troops. Immediately they started firing.
"Whoa!" The Flash was about to rush back into the ship when the other Justice League and Valiant arrived and beat up the other troops.
"I had everything under control! Honest!" The Flash protested.
Alcor quickly fused back with Valiant.
"Anyone know where Green Lantern is?" he asked.
"He is close by." Jon replied. "That way."
He pointed to the large structure in front of them.
"Yeah…" Valiant/James thought. "That oughta' be it."
John Stewart stood there in his Green Lantern attire, still in handcuffs and looking at his ring, now placed on a pedestal in front of him with the whole courthouse watching.
"There is no excuse for this horror!" one of the aliens said. "And there can be no escape from punishment. An example must be made!"
Suddenly, gasps and murmurs went through the crowd. Everyone including John looked at the large glass. What was seen was Superman using his heat vision to melt a hole in the glass. Soon the hole was big enough, and the other heroes flew in. They landed right in the middle of the courtroom.
"Oh no…" John said, dismayed.
"What is this some kind of trial?" Flash asked Superman.
"Apparently." He replied.
"Remove the intruders immediately!" One of the three judges yelled out.
Two guards flew out to apprehend Superman, who grabbed them out of the air and threw them on the ground.
"Wait!" He insisted. "We would like to apologize for disrupting these proceedings but John Stewart is our friend."
One of the judges looked at each other.
"This is a public trial." She said.
"Very well, you may take seats in the gallery, but this trial will not take anymore outbursts."
"Thank you your honor." Superman said.
"I have a feeling we're going to be saying that a lot today." Alcor said.
"And boy is this gonna suck." James agreed.
You might've already picked up that this is "In Blackest Night" episode from the Justice League with a few details changed. I'm including it to ease the OC character in and have him not just join the Justice League right away, because that would be cheap in my opinion. Also, I'm not going to rewrite every single episode from the animated show; I'm gonna move ahead and skip some episodes. Otherwise, that would take months! Onwards!
