Close Encounters with the Legion of Doom

Inside Central City,Missouri,there were 5 figures in a warehouse waiting for a man to finish his arms dealing show.

They were the Central City Rogues. They were some less … violent then other villain teams. They had two rules. Don't kill a Flash,and no killing women or children.

All of them were regular frame,not skinny yet not world class wrestlers. Captain Cold,a man in a blue and white Hoodie with two black guns that really shot beams of ice that coated whatever they hit in ice.

Heat Wave,a man with tan clothes and orange belts and knapsacks as well as an orange pistol sized weapon that shot flames. With a hot headed personality to match his name.

Weather Wizard,a man garbed in a darker shade of green,except for a few rectangles on his shirt. Using a wand he had the ability to control the weather. Mirror Master,garbed in orange and green,wielding several mirrors that reflected matter or his mutant ability to travel from one mirror to another. Thinker,a man in a green outfit that showed binary all over it as well as a metallic looking head which gave him telekinesis and telepathy.

Joe Chill was the man who shot Thomas and Martha Wayne as well as Howard and Maria Stark, leaving Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark orphans. The two grew to be Batman and Iron Man.

No other villain knew that. He grew to be a skilled businessman selling various weapons. He was auctioning a Republic cruiser as well several clone blasters.

Meanwhile the Rogues were bickering.

"For the last time,Mardon,we don't care that you took on Superman and Flash! Really we don't! So shut up!"Captain Cold yelled.

"What,jealous cause Supes blew you across the country,Snart?"Heat Wave snorted with glee,happy to jab at his rival.

A few months after the League was formed,Cold had captured the Flash. Superman had blew him from Central City to the Atlantic,where he was rescued by a shrimp boat.

"Better then being knocked out by one punch from Batman,you Firefly ripoff!"Captain Cold retorted.

That ticked off Heat Wave. Everyone knew Batman's rogue Firefly had a fierce rivalry with Heat Wave as well as Mister Freeze and Captain Cold.

"Would you please quiet down?"Chill sighed. He had had annoying clients before but these guys had probably been taking lessons from Flash himself!

Heat Wave was first to bid. "5 thousand!"

Captain Cold then replied, "10,000!"

Mirror Master replied coolly,"1 million,"

As McCulloch walked to his new ship, six Leaguers jumped out to fight the Rogues.

Captain Cold was locked in battle with Fire while Heat Wave was fighting Ice. Storm caused Weather Wizard to back up slowly. Thinker started having psychic fights with Phoenix. Black Widow captured Joe Chill and arrested him.

"I'm sure Batman will love to see you,"she whispered to him as Chill's eyes widened in horror.

Flash himself defeated Mirror Master. One of Heat Wave's blasts had shot down Ice and Storm was frozen by Captain Cold. But the two were knocked out by two backhands from Flash. Widow shot a tranquilizer dart on Thinker while Weather Wizard radioed for Legion backup.

The Legion teleporter brought in the Sinister Six, as well as Bane,Deadshot,and Cheshire,former Suicide Squad members.

Cheshire started engaging in hand to hand combat with Widow while Flash,Jean,and Fire started fighting. Fire took Venom out of the fight by exposing him to flame, while Flash turned Goblin's bombs into a tornado and hurling them at Bane and Rhino at super speed.

"Ah crap,"Bane gulped as the bombs detonated. Cheshire defeated Black Widow but was defeated by Fire. Captain Cold and Heat Wave woke up after Widow's defeat and took down Flash with two sucker punches to the back of the head.

But backup was on the way for the League. Jean and Fire prepared to defend against Deadshot, and the Sinister Six sans Rhino and Venom,as well as Captain Cold,Weather Wizard,and Heat Wave. Jean made a telekinetic shield,praying it would help.

Green Lantern himself appeared. Using his ring he sent Shocker and Mysterio flying with a hammer. As Deadshot and Goblin's bullets bounced off his force field,he replied with an energy bolt knocking them both out as Ice and Storm awoke. Sinestro was teleported in to assist the Legionnaires.

Storm used her lightning and took down Captain Cold while Jean was defeated by Sinestro.

Heat Wave took down Ice before Fire backhanded the hot headed flame-thrower.

Weather Wizard prepared for a rematch against Storm. The two's arena was filled with lightning burns and hail for days after their battle. In the end Weather Wizard lost his rod to a stray piece of hail.

"You should have checked the forecast,"Storm replied nonchalantly.

Ice froze Doc Ock's tentacles but was surprised when Storm shocked the tentacled villain with a lightning bolt.

"Thanks,"Ice replied gratefully.

"Anything for a fellow former Global Guardian,"Storm smiled.

However Sinestro saw them and defeated them with two energy bolts from his ring.

"I, Sinestro of Qward am the champion over these filthy backwater residents."Sinestro boasted.

"Not yet,you aren't" Green Lantern snapped as he let loose with a barrage of energy bolts on the Qwardian Sinestro Corps Leader.

Blocking Stewart's blasts with a force field,Sinestro made a warship to fire on Lantern while it was destroyed by a green cannon construct. Eventually,Sinestro resorted to hand to hand combat.

He shouldn't have done that. The marine grabbed Sinestro's arm,pulled it behind his back, and rammed it up,breaking it instantly. Then Stewart punched Sinestro in the jaw sending him flying into a dumpster.

"Bravo,founder," Lex Luthor smiled.

"Luthor,damn it! You're not getting away this time!"Stewart yelled.

"Oh,I don't intend to, Marine,"he grinned evilly as he blasted GL through a window.

"Want some pop tarts?" a teenage girl asked him in a bored tone.

"No thanks?"Lantern said,not used to civilians being so used to this.

"For crying out loud,guys let's move! Help him!"

The teenagers were Cloak and Dagger,who had moved to Central City having been adopted by its hero other than Flash,Argus.

With Argus backhanding Luthor and Cloak and Dagger defeating his bodyguard Atomic Skull, Lantern had to admit,these had potential.

"You're welcome,Mister Stewart. We're already Leaguers,don't worry."Argus said.

"Who asked you to join?"Lantern decided to ask.

"For me,Flash himself and for these two,Spidey."Argus replied.

"Whatever,let's go back to the Watchtower"GL said.

Luthor had been teleported away while they were talking. Quite a sneaky devil,isn't he?
