The next day, Joe decided to run another simulation. He had heard about what else the Insurgency was facing. A new organization called the Society. It was led by Gorilla Grodd, who Joe assumed was an ape who was experimented on by humans. He had voice capabilities, brute strength, high intelligence, and mind powers. In his league, he had Cheetah, Floyd Lawton, aka Deadshot, Leonard Snart, aka Captain Cold, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, and two former Regime soldiers, Bane and Catwoman. Joe also had the feeling that this was part of a bigger plan. He managed to beat all members in the simulation. He then checked the database for other threats. He saw villains and heroes. He saw Atrocitus, the leader of the hatred fueled Red Lanterns. He was coming to Earth to gain Hal Jordan as an ally. Aquaman was neutral, fighting only for Atlantis. Swamp Thing was also neutral, fighting only to protect plant life. Dr. Fate, aka Kent Nelson was also neutral, possibly letting the "end of the world" happen. The Joker was also in the database, but it mentioned that he was dead, so he didn't pose much of a threat. However, there was also Darkseid. Apparently, he held a grudge with Superman for some reason. There were others mentioned in the database, like Red Hood, Black Manta, Black Lightning, Reverse Flash, Jay Garrick, John Stewart (who was dead), Vixen, an apparent virus known as Grid who corrupted cybernetics, a now-dead version of Superman known as Bizzaro, Hellboy, Starfire, Mr. Freeze, and apparently two unknown people who could control Ice and Lightning. "Huh. Hope most of these guys are on our side." Joe complimented. He then left the database, examining the base. This was still the Batcave, but it wasn't a cave anymore. It was now in a subway system. It had an armory and an A.I. system called Brother Eye. After the Regime fell, the government had to be built from the ground up. This was a start, however. Joe wasn't sure how to work the system, and strangely, it wasn't working or even on. Which was… Weird. Joe decided to check on it later. For now, he had some other business to deal with.
Later, Joe was at Metropolis, scouting for threats. Suddenly, he saw a massive ship in the sky! It resembled a skull, with robotic tentacles behind it. It started to beam down alien-like robots. Woah. Joe thought. First a nuclear attack, then a Regime assault, and now an alien invasion?! He activated his suit and fought the robots. Some fired grappling hooks from their hands. He caught some and continued to fight. Eventually, all of them were brought down. "I have to tell the others." He said. He then rushed off to the Batcave.
"We are aware of the situation." Batman replied. "Well then, what's happening?" "Apparently this alien android calling himself Brainiac is invading Earth. Superman knows of him. He was the one who destroyed Krypton, Superman's home planet." "Really? I thought it was a couple of earthquakes or a civil war." "No. Brainiac abducted Argo City and then eradicated the planet." "Woah, wait, what?! That's impossible! You can't just take entire cities!" "Unless you shrunk them down to size. Then, you take them." "So, there's a chance that he could do that to Earth." "Yes. Which is why we must stop him." "Yes sir."
