Sup guys, Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about Injustice. Enjoy the 1000-word chapter. I don't own Injustice, DC, NetherRealm, Ed Boon and Warner bros do.
Impact paced the jail corridors as the tv which hung in the corner of the room rattled off the events of the war against Superman's Regime.
"Today marks the five-year anniversary since Gotham playboy billionaire, Bruce Wayne spear headed a resistance effort against former defender of Metropolis turned dictator Superman, who's role has since been filled by new, younger hero, Impact. Sources say Bruce Wayne is preparing to host a party to celebrate the event." Impact turned off the tv before turning to Blue Beetle as the teens began to chat.
"We fight a war like soldiers and the thanks we get from Batman is being guards for Superman? We could be doing so much more." Beetle nearly whined as Impact nodded.
"Yeah, but remember how dangerous Mr. Solar Man here is. Guy used to protect my home and now he's a prisoner here like the rest of his friends." Firestorm flew in as both heroes turned to face the nuclear hero.
"How'd the meeting with Gotham's dark knight go?" Impact asked as Firestorm shook his head, causing both heroes to groan in annoyance.
"Batman won't budge, says this is the most important job and he's entrusting it to us for a reason." Impact turned to Blue Beetle.
"Black Adam is still around, Wonder Woman was broken out a few weeks ago, we should be hunting them down before they try and rebuild the Regime." Impact stated as Firestorm and Blue Beetle turned back towards the room which housed the Man of Steel's cell.
"Nothing we can do for now, let's make sure at the very least our 'guest' doesn't escape." Firestorm said as Impact and Blue Beetle nodded as all three teen heroes turned as Impact led them back to the cell.
(Vacuum of space, Earth's upper atmosphere)
The girl was Kryptonian, the ability to fly in space was proof enough if the Kryptonian armor that served as her costume wasn't enough. Her name was Kara Zor-El, cousin of Kal-El, or as Earth knew the man as Superman. Kara flew back down to Earth to land in the Regime base of Kandaq.
"Kara, where were you?" Asked Wonder Woman, Kara sighed, she had helped Black Adam break the Princess out of prison and besides train her, Kara found the warrior to be nothing but fussy over what Kara did with her powers.
"I was just flying in orbit, none of Batman's allies can reach Atmosphere." Her response was countered by her other trainer.
"But one of his satellites could have, then he would have sent another of his enforcers to stop you." Black Adam countered as he walked up.
"I have powers, some guy in a mask doesn't scare me, I can bend steel."
"So, could your cousin and look what happened to him, Kara we cannot free your cousin from Batman's corrupt rule if your spotted too early." Kara sighed as she nodded and turned away.
"Let's just free my cousin and go from there…"
(Lex memorial prison, Superman's cell)
Impact started as Superman in anger, he despised the fallen hero in every way he knew, the man killed thousands in cold blood just to 'keep people safe.' It drove the young teen hero crazy with anger.
"You are everything you said you would destroy, you didn't save the world, old man, you destroyed it all to try and prove a point." He didn't get a response but the fallen hero's silence was enough to prove his guilt to Trent as he turned away towards Blue Beetle.
"I still don't think we should be here, with Black Adam and Wonder Woman around, they could be mounting an attack right no-…." Impact was cut off by an explosion that ripped through the ground and nearly tossed the heroes off their feet as they tried to find out what was happening.
"Firestorm, go ask Batman what's going on then come back, we need to make sure whatever is happening doesn't free Superman." Firestorm nodded before flying off as Impact turned to Blue Beetle.
"I'll go check the generators, stay here and make sure they don't get free at all." Blue Beetle nodded as Impact flew off.
"Your need me for whatever it is, if its strong enough to cause that." Blue Beetle shook his head, quietly thinking the former hero may have a point but also trying not to show it.
"You keep telling yourself that." Blue Beetle replied as Impact landed next to him.
"Generators are still online, Mr. Tan Man isn't getting free anytime soon." Impact turned on his communicator.
"Jason, what's going on over there?" He was answered as another tremor hit.
"Well Batman sent Harley and two others to catch some monkey man and now we have robotic drones all around the world being deployed.
"Ok…. Wait what!? They're in Metropolis!?" Impact prepared to fly off before Blue Beetle stopped him.
"Hey, I want to be on the frontlines like you but we should at least make sure Supes is secured before we do anything." Impact nodded before his communicator buzzed.
"Trent, it's Bruce, I need you, Firestorm and Blue Beetle to continue guarding the prison, if Clark gets free, then protecting the Earth will be a lot harder." Impact sighed before answering.
"Fine, we will keep being prison guards, you never let us handle the major work." He wasn't answered as Firestorm responded.
"I'm on my way back, don't have any fun without me." Impact sighed in annoyance.
"Sooner something happens, the more annoyed I'll be when we aren't there to help." Impact said as another tremor hit.
"Firestorm, get back now, we are going to need backup." Both heroes got ready as Impact cracked his knuckles.
"Guess I shouldn't have said anything." Both heroes heard the alarm sound just as Firestorm arrived.
"Let's do this." Impact growled out
