Recognized Thomas Long B30, Recognized Starfire B32, Recognized Raven B33 (Both of them are just like they are in Teen Titans)
"Another job completed" Thom said walking over to Kaldur.
"Good job Thom, you have really proven yourself these past few months" Kaldur said.
"Thanks, is Barbara here?" he asked looking around.
"She's in the exercise room with Artemis and Cassie" Kaldur said. He nodded and headed off to the exercise room. When he walked in Cassie was hitting a punching bag, Artemis was firing bows at a dummy, and Barbara was hitting a dummy with a stick. Thom blushed and rubbed the back of his head. Barbara was wearing a black sports bra and black booty shirts. The other girls were wearing the same thing except Artemis' was green, and Cassie's was red.
"Hey Barbara" Thom said walking over to her. She stopped hitting her dummy and smiled at him.
"Hey Thom…oh you're bleeding" she said walking over to him. He shrugged at the cut on his cheek.
"Just a cut, no big deal" he said. He looked over at Cassie and saw her punch the bag and it flew into the wall. Sand flew everywhere and she groaned in frustration.
"She's still upset about Connor" he said in a low voice.
"We all are" she said lowering her head. They heard the computer say Nightwing's name and Barbara and Thom went outside. Dick looked like holy hell, his hair was all messed up he had somewhat of a beard and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Holy shit Dick you look like hell" Kaldur said. Dick ignored him and typed something into the computer.
"Did you find anything yet?" he asked.
"Dick you asked me this yesterday. We still haven't found anything, but I don't think there's anything to find" Kaldur said. Dick grabbed him by his shirt and pinned him against the wall.
"He's not dead" Dick said venomously. He dropped Kaldur and went back to the computer.
"Nightwing it is so good to see you again" Starfire said smiling. He just grunted at her and after he was done on the computer he headed for the zeta tubes. He went through and Barbara turned to Kaldur.
"He's still looking?" she asked. He nodded and went back to the computer.
"I want to believe he's alive too, but after what Dick told me Darkseid did I have my doubts" Kaldur said.
"What did he do?" Thom asked.
"We don't know the whole story because everyone blacked out. What we do know is Superman and Connor took the worst of the beating. Connor was constantly getting hit with omega beams, and seeing as its magic Connor was bleeding a lot. Dick said that all he could hear was Connor screaming bloody murder before he blacked out" Kaldur said. Thom whistled and shook his head.
"Damn" he said.
"Well if Connor is alive, I hope he's doing okay" Barbara said.
Location: Apokolips
"Wakey, wakey Superbrat" Desaad said smirking. Connor was chained up to a wall with Kryptonite around the room. Connor was sweating profusely and he slowly raised his head. He spat at Desaad and Barda punched him in the stomach. He grunted in pain and looked at her. She had on what looked like a two piece blue bikini. The edges were trimmed with gold, she had black hair, pale skin, gloves that went up to her elbows, thigh high blue leggings, and knee high boots.
"Easy Barda" Desaad said smirking.
"Desaad are you done with him yet?" Granny Goodness asked walking into the room. Connor spit out some blood and looked up at Barda and smirked.
"That…all…you…got?" he asked in between breaths. Bard was about to hit him again when Granny Goodness stopped her.
"No, Darkseid wishes to see him" she said. She bowed and they took Connor off the wall. They shackled him in Kryptonite cuffs and dragged him down the halls. He could hear the cries of woman and children and the occasional man. He clenched his fists and almost threw up from the Kryptonite. They dragged him into the throne room where Darkseid was sitting on his throne and tossed him on the floor. He looked around and saw Stompa, Mad Harriet, and Lashina standing in a corner of the room (don't really want to describe them because I'm tired, so just google them or something sorry). Kalibak was seated next to his father.
"Kon-El so glad you could join us" Darkseid said smirking. Connor dropped to his knees and nearly passed out because of the Kryptonite.
"I didn't…have much…of a choice" he said through gritted teeth.
"Now Kon-El, we've been at this torture game for about three months now, that's about seven months on Apokolips (I don't think there is a time difference, but in this story there is). I would have hoped you would have caved by now. I see now that you are as stubborn as your father. So I have no choice" Darkseid said standing up. He walked over to Connor and lifted him up by the throat. Connor's face turned red as he tried to breathe. He struggled against his grip, but it was no use. Darkseid chuckled and hit him in the gut. He coughed up blood and Darkseid smiled.
"If you don't cooperate, I'm going to kill that little girlfriend of yours. Maybe even the Martian girl, I hear she's having a baby" he said. Connor's eyes widened and he clenched his fists. He mumbled something and Darkseid dropped him.
"What was that?" he asked. Connor was gasping for air and holding his throat. Granny Goodness brought him to his feet and Connor closed his eyes. They strapped an inhibitor collar to his neck and took off the cuffs. They tossed them away and Connor looked at him.
"I'll…cooperate…what…do you want?" Connor asked. Darkseid and everyone else in the room smiled.
"I want you to swear your allegiance to me" Darkseid said. Connor lowered his head and clenched his fists. He got down on one knee and bowed his head.
"I swear my allegiance to you…my lord" Connor said. Darkseid patted his shoulder and sat back down at his throne.
"Granny you know what to do" he said. She bowed and dragged Connor down the hall into another room. There were test tubes, computers, a few tables, lab equipment, and a giant needle; it looked like a giant ray gun.
"Move" Granny said pushing him towards the needle. Two guards came and lifted him onto the table; they strapped him in and pointed the needle at his chest.
"Don't worry, this will only hurt…a lot" Granny said smirking. She started up the laser and his eyes widened.
Location: Mount Justice
Recognized Nightwing 28
"Hey Night" Cyborg said from the couch.
"I have a mission" Dick said walking towards the computer. He punched up something on the computer and a picture of a building appeared.
"This is a local lab; some gunmen have taken the scientists there hostage. Your job is to secure the hostages and take out the gunmen. Once that is under control, find out what they were after and why they were after it" he said after the team gathered. He hit a few buttons and the image disappeared and he headed towards the zeta tube.
"You're really giving us this shit mission?" Jaime asked. Dick stopped but didn't turn around.
"We want to help find Connor" Kara said.
"The League is handling it" Dick said slightly turning his head.
"Don't give me that crap Dick, you would always get pissed off when they used to say that to us" Kaldur said. Dick sighed and turned back towards the zeta tube.
"I know you want to help find Connor, but the League is handling it" he said as he began to walk away. He was typing something in on the small computer pad on his arm.
"Why can't we just go to Apokolips and get him back?" Cassie asked. He turned around quickly and looked at Kaldur.
"I disabled the caves cameras for a short amount of time. Look the League is planning on going to Apokolips, but we aren't sure how safe it's going to be. Batman feels that if any of us go they will just capture us as well. I'll keep you updated as much as I can. If you ever want to meet up just contact me and we can meet up somewhere" Dick said before walking out of the zeta tubes. The cameras turned on a few seconds later and the team headed out for their mission.
Location: Apokolips (Three Earth Months Later-Seven Months on Apokolips)
Connor (now known as Pain) was sitting down in the training arena. Dead, bloody corpses lay around him; his entire outfit was covered in blood as well as his hands and face. He was wearing a black leather vest without an undershirt. He ripped the sleeves off it when he first got it so where his shoulders were the material looked ripped up. It was sort of tight on him and he had it unzipped revealing the dark purple Omega tattoo they magically 'inserted' in his skin. He was wearing black long cargo pants, dark red fingerless gloves, and black combat boots.
His once completely black hair now had a few red streaks on it. His face was emotionless and always stayed the same. It looked like he couldn't even think. His eyes were now dark purple instead of their normal blue. Well that's what happens when they put you under a spell. He kept resisting and Darkseid put him under a mind control spell. He remembered everything, but Darkseid made it so he would obey him even if it meant hurting his friends. He heard the door open and he turned his head to see his two teammates and Granny Goodness walking towards him.
"Nice job Pain" Brain said walking up to him. Brain had short brown hair that was spiked up in a mow hawk. He had brown eyes, slightly tanned skin, and he had a diamond earring in his left ear. He was wearing the same outfit as Connor except his leather vest and his gloves were blue. He had a blue Omega tattoo on the right side of his neck. The reason they called him Brain was because of his powers. He was a telepath which he was named after, but he also had super strength.
"Yeah nice work" Toxica said. She had long fiery red hair that went just past her shoulders, but right now it was tied in a ponytail. She had green eyes, light skin, and her ears were pierced. She was wearing a tight black two piece leather suit complimenting her curves, and large breasts. The top part was sleeveless and went just an inch or two below her large chest, leaving her toned stomach exposed, also showing off a bit of her cleavage. The pants were long and clung to her hips making her curves look even better. She had on black knee high boots with a dagger strapped to her right one. She had a white Omega tattoo on her right hip, and it was pretty close to her…lady parts. She had super strength, she was able to produce fire, and she had super speed.
"Yes very good" Granny Goodness said nodding her head. He just scoffed and got up. He dusted himself off and walked to the door.
"I'm gonna hit the showers" he said.
"Do it later, Lord Darkseid wishes to see the three of you" Granny Goodness said walking away. He rolled his eyes and sighed.
"What do you think master wants?" Brain asked. Toxica shrugged and looked at Connor.
"What do you think it is Pain?" she asked.
"Probably just a mission, come on" he said. The three of them walked down the large corridor, until they arrived at the throne room. They opened the door and saw Darkseid sitting at his throne with Kalibak, Desaad, and Granny Goodness beside him.
"Now that you're all here, I have a mission for you" Darkseid said.
"Well what's this mission?" Brain asked. Darkseid smirked and looked at Connor.
"You will go to Earth and take out your old team" he said. Brain and Toxica had wide eyes but Connor had the same emotionless face he always had. He bowed his head and Brain and Toxica did the same.
"Yes Lord Darkseid" he said. Darkseid nodded and opened up a boom tube.
"Report back to me when it's done" he said. The three of them nodded and Connor used his super speed to change his clothes really quick. He put on the same outfit; just this one had no blood on it. They stepped through the boom tube and headed for Earth.

Recognized Superman 01, Recognized Batman 02, Recognized Nightwing 28
"What's the occasion big guy?" Thom asked as they walked in.
"A boom tube has opened up in Metropolis. Three people came through and from eye witness reports they aren't sparing any lives" Dick said. The rest of the team gathered around the table after hearing this.
"So, why did you come here?" Kaldur asked.
"The League is going to take care of them; we need the team to rescue civilians" Batman said. Kaldur nodded and looked to the team.
"Okay the entire team is going, minus M'gann" he said. They all nodded and he turned back to Superman.
"Alright then let's go" he said. They all nodded and raced out of the cave.
Location: Metropolis
"This place is kinda nice" Brain said punching a man in the face breaking his neck. Toxica lifted a man into the air and stabbed him in the chest with her dagger.
"Just think babe, me and you, maybe a couple of kids" Brain said smirking at her. She smirked at him and shrugged.
"Sounds good to me, but why here?" she asked punching another man who was trying to get away.
"Just a suggestion, unless you want them to live on that hell planet we all love so much" he said sarcastically.
"True, maybe we can live here" she said smirking at him. He winked at her and hit another man.
"Where's Pain?" she asked. He just shrugged and then he pointed up into the sky.
"Looks like we have company" he said stepping next to her. Superman, Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, Hal Jordan, Doctor Fate, and Martian Manhunter flew down from the sky and landed twenty feet away in front of them. Flash, Green Arrow, Nightwing, Zatanna, Rocket, and Black Canary came from the ground. The entire team minus Miss Martian arrived shortly after. The team spread out to help civilians. Kaldur, Artemis, Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle, Supergirl, and Superchick stayed with the League members just in case.
"What a treat, we get to fight the Justice League" Brain said smirking. He crossed his arms over his chest and Toxica rested her hand on his shoulder and leaned against him.
"Who are you?" Batman asked.
"I'm Brain, and this is Toxica" Brain said.
"Where's the other one? There are supposed to be three of you" Nightwing said. There was an explosion about 100 feet behind them and Toxica smirked.
"That would be him right now" she said. A car went flying past them and they didn't even flinch. Superman caught it and set it down beside him. They heard a scream as a man was tossed at them. Hal used his ring and created a net for him to land in. He set him down and there was another explosion.
"He doesn't seem happy, does he babe?" Brain asked. Toxica shook her head and sighed.
"No he doesn't baby, I think we should sit back and just watch for a while. What do you think?" she asked looking at him. He raised his head slightly and tapped his chin with his finger.
"Yeah sounds good to me. Let's watch from that rooftop" he said. She nodded and he used his powers to levitate them up onto the roof. They stood there and everyone looked at each other with confused looks on their faces. They heard another scream and then a cracking sound. A woman was tossed into a wall, but she was dead before she even hit it. The saw the silhouette of a man walking towards them from the smoke and they prepared to fight. Two red beams shot out and hit Superman in the face. He screamed in pain and flew into a car. Brain and Toxica were chuckling as they watched him fly into the car.
"Pain, try and play nice" Toxica said smirking. A truck was sent flying from the smoke and caught the League off guard. Batman, Nightwing, and Zatanna got out of the way and the rest of the League were hit. They crashed into a building and the team looked to the smoke. The figure emerged and their eyes widened. Wonder Girl fell to her knees and started crying. Nightwing and the rest of the team stared ahead of them. They couldn't believe who they were looking at.
"C…Connor" Wonder Girl said in a low voice. Connor cracked his knuckles and smirked at them.
"Don't call me Connor, my name is Pain" he said cracking his neck. His face suddenly got serious and he hovered in the air.
"Now, I'm going to show you how I got my name" he said smirking.
