Steppenwolf proceeded to interrogate each of the STAR lab scientists on the location of the last motherbox. "I don't want to have to kill any of you. I need the motherbox to save my people. You can understand, can't you? You all have families, right?" Steppenwolf said to them.
"Don't say anything! He wants to colonize us just like the White man and make us slaves," Silas said bravely.
"I'm no white man," Steppenwolf said to him.
"You're sure as hell not black," Silas replied.
One of the other black scientists spoke up. "Silas brought the motherbox to his house."
"Really?" Steppenwolf said turning to Silas.
"How could you betray a brother like that. We're of the same race, God damn it!" Silas said outraged.
"We're all part of the human race, Silas. We didn't say anything about your creepy experiments on your son's corpse for fear of being fired," he said.
"Well, you're definitely fired now," Silas told him.
Meanwhile, the Justice League assembled right outside Steppenwolf's interrogation room. "Well, you see, I'm afraid of bugs, and guns, and obnoxiously tall people. In full disclosure, I've just pushed people and ran away," Flash said nervously.
"That is the lamest thing I have ever heard. How do you live with yourself?" Batman asked.
"I don't know," Flash admitted.
"Barry, don't be a bitch," Batman advised.
"Oh, sure," Flash said uncertain. "How about something more specific?"
"Rescue the hostages, but make sure the first ones you save are minorities or you'll be accused of racism," Batman told him.
"But I'm Jewish. I can't be racist," Flash replied.
"Good for you," Batman muttered.
"Leeeroy Jenkins mother-fucker!" Cyborg barged into the room all by himself.
"Did he really just do that?" Batman wondered.
Cyborg fired on Steppenwolf with his plasma cannon and started fighting the Parademons. "This one was created from the motherbox. Get him!" Steppenwolf ordered.
Diana dropped in, took hold of Steppenwolf, and crashed through a wall taking all of his forces with him. Flash went ahead and rescued the hostages taking them a great distance away from the fighting. Batman engaged the Parademons killing a few and taking one of their plasma rifles.
"Nice," he said holding his first plasma rifle.
Steppenwolf engaged each other in combat on a metal bridge. "This one is mine!" he said to his Parademons.
"You overestimate yourself," Diana smirked.
"Your mother said otherwise," Steppenwolf retorted.
Enraged, Diana battled Steppenwolf using her sword, shield, and lasso against him.
Batman became quickly overwhelmed by Parademons. "Alfred, I need the Night Crawler," he radioed.
"You mean Jake Gyllenhaal? He's not supposed to replace you for a few more years," Alfred said while sipping his tea.
"The fuck he is," Batman doubted angrily.
Cyborg and the Flash chatted it up with the hostages while Batman and Diana continued to fight. "I wonder what's faster: my processing speed or your running?" Cyborg said casually.
"Dude, back at my place I have a lot of tech I built myself. Want to come by and take a look?" Flash asked.
"Sure, man. What kind of video games do you play?" Cyborg asked.
Batman fought through several Parademons and jumped into the real Night Crawler. Activating the controls, he fired machine guns at the Parademons and Steppenwolf. "Sorry guys, I didn't bring a sword," Batman said.
Steppenwolf leaped onto the Night Crawler and pried it open with his scythe blade. The metal bridge began to collapse, and Diana lost her sword. She jumped off the collapsing bridge to go get it. Flash came back to the scene and with his super-speed pondered on what to do.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Diana cried out as she went for her sword.
"I wonder what I should do," Flash said to himself.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Diana continued.
"I should probably get that sword for her," Flash figured.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Diana kept going.
"Yeah, I'll go ahead and do that, but I have to make it look really cool," Flash said and then walked on the wall at super-speed towards the sword. He then pointed his finger towards the sword and pushed it back into Diana's hand. "That was so cool," Flash said to himself and then tripped over himself causing him to tumble around on the floor.
"You could have just grabbed it and handed it to me...ass," Diana said to him.
Flash suddenly moved out of the way as the Night Crawler fell on Diana. "Ooh, I should have warned her," Flash realized.
Diana got up and Flash got shot with a plasma rifle. "Serves you right," Diana said annoyed.
"So, you have the old gods in you," Steppenwolf sensed.
Diana brought her bracelets together and blasted Steppenwolf a distance away down the tunnel. "That was slightly inconvenient," Steppenwolf said annoyed.
"Yeah, well, it sure showed you," Diana smiled confidently.
Parademons then grabbed Flash away. "Seriously," Diana muttered as she went to go save him.
Batman came onto the scene and grabbed him a Parademon while Diana rescued Flash. Cyborg rocketed his way to their position and entered the Night Crawler. He plugged himself into the Night Crawler's CPU and took over.
"Thanks, Alfred, but I'll take it from here," Cyborg said.
"The fuck you are," Alfred said and pushed a red button.
Cyborg screamed as he got the shock of his life. Alfred smirked as he finished his tea.
Steppenwolf used his scythe blade to rip into the tunnel wall. "What are we under right now?" Flash asked fearfully.
"Gotham harbor," Batman said gravely.
Water flooded the tunnels towards the Justice League. "You were a pleasant distraction," Steppenwolf smirked and then portaled himself away.
"One of my fears is drowning," Flash said as Batman helped him towards the Night Crawler.
"Barry, remember what I told you," Batman reminded him.
Out of nowhere, Aquaman appeared and utilizing his trident kept the water at bay. The Night Crawler literally crawled up the wall away from the water. Aquaman released his hold on the water and tumbled about in it. Cyborg sensed the motherbox and then rocketed away.
"Did he just bail?" Flash asked.
"That mother-fucker," Batman said angrily.
Batman met up with Gordon as they watched Gotham Harbor flood into the tunnel system. "Millions in structural damage; you haven't lost your touch for wanton destruction," Gordon remarked.
"It could have been worse. Remember when I created a nuclear bomb, and Bane used it to hold the city hostage?" Batman said.
"Good times," Gordon muttered. "Nice to see you playing well with others again."
Aquaman came up and chuckled upon seeing Batman. "Dressed like a Bat, I dig it," he said smirking.
"Could be temporary," Batman muttered.
"Like your last sidekicks?" Gordon asked.
"Like your last wife," Batman shot back. He turned to Aquaman. "What made you come back?"
"Steppenwolf took the motherbox from Atlantis. In return for taking it back, I got this badass weapon and an unlimited supply of mermaid pussy," Aquaman answered.
"Nice," Batman nodded.
"All he needs now is the lost one of man," Diana said seriously.
"Assuming he doesn't already have it," Batman replied.
"No, I have it," Cyborg said dropping in.
"You just made Gotham City one big target. You realize that, right?" Gordon said annoyed.
The Justice League entered an underground secure fortress. "Wow, it's like a cave. A bat cave," Barry said astounded.
"Barry, shut the fuck up. You make everything sound less cool," Bruce grumbled.
Cyborg brought the motherbox to a table. "The British discovered it during World War I but couldn't even date it," he began.
"I believe one of us was around during that time," Bruce said accusingly.
"You putting this on me? How dare you," Diana said displeased.
"Anyway, it didn't become active until Supergirl died. Then it lit up like Christmas lights," Cyborg continued.
"Kind of like that movie Independence Day," Flash said.
"Exactly," Cyborg agreed. "My father recognized it as a perpetual energy matrix. He had some dream of taking it to Africa and building his own sophisticated nation. He called it Wakanda or some shit," Cyborg said shaking his head.
"I just thought it was a nuclear bomb," Barry said.
"Barry, everything that comes out of your mouth is retarded," Cyborg critiqued. "My father believed it was key to cellular regeneration."
"He used it on you," Bruce figured.
"I got blown the fuck up. I should have died. My father believed he could use the motherbox to repair the damaged pieces with cybernetic enhancements," Cyborg said.
"I think we can use this thing to resurrect Supergirl," Bruce said.
"What part of my explanation gave you the impression you could use this to resurrect the dead?" Cyborg wondered.
"You know, you take a corpse and jolt it with electricity and it comes back to life," Bruce said simply.
"Bruce, you're drunk. That's not how it works," Diana disputed.
"I think we should try," Bruce argued.
"So, she can become like one of Lex's monsters?" Diana asked.
"If it comes to that, I'll be the one to kill her," Bruce promised.
"Bruce, you're just a man that dresses up like a bat," Diana said bluntly.
"So, it all comes out. My family provided America the industrial might to defeat Hitler during World War II. Where the fuck were you?"
"I don't have to answer to you," Diana shot back.
"Oh, your boyfriend Steve Trevor dies and you go back home to whore island," Bruce said drunkenly.
"Fucker," Diana said punching Bruce back a few steps.
"Damn," Bruce said wheezing. "I am a beacon of justice in Gotham. Why aren't you? Until recently, no one has ever heard of you. No comic books, no TV shows, no movies, no picture on a lunch box. Your boyfriend dies and you shut yourself down," Bruce continued.
"You do know that if she kills you, we'll cover for her," Barry said.
"FYI, if Bruce dies I ignite explosives that will bury you all," Alfred said over the loudspeaker.
"Damn, that's cold," Aquaman said amused.
"It is theoretically possible," Cyborg said breaking the tension.
"Yeah, but in what way? Like in a pet cemetery kind of way?" Barry asked concerned.
"Barry, that movie came out before you were even born," Bruce discounted.
"You lose something when you die. Maybe not your mind but perhaps your soul," Aquaman chimed in.
"It's alright, she didn't have a soul," Bruce said. "Besides, I have a contingency plan for that."
"If she wakes up, and you're the first one she sees, you'll need one," Diana warned.
