The Son of Thunder.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters portrayed in this work of fiction, I do not own BTVS or any DC characters that appear here, and there will be a slight reference to the Marvel versions of Thor, you have been warned.

And here is another two to complete ten, took me a while but hope the time spent was worth.

Now I am giving a heads up that this story will now be paused since I have reached the tenth chapter mark, from here I will be devoting myself to do the same for my Belmont story and once I reach ten I will cycle through my stories from Halo to Kim Possible.

Also I need to ask but does anyone know how to get rid of this error message about an e-mail sent to my yahoo account I get whenever I log on? I did everything the instructions said but all I get is that the message is not getting there…it is starting to annoy me greatly.

"Speaking"

"Whispering"

*Thoughts*

Chapter 8 part 1:

Over the Atlantic Ocean a storm raged making wind howl and sea churn in violent fashion. Below it however all was calm and tranquil as the USS Defiant made its silent patrols over the ocean floor.

However that calm was to be broken when the ships sonar began pinging.

"Sir! Unidentified craft approaching, bearing 0-1-0" the sonar operator said to the captain, as the image showed the unknown ship.

"At this depth? Establish radio contact." He orders to the young woman at the com station.

"I got all frequencies no response sir, whatever it is its big and closing fast." The man at sonar spoke.

*I don´t like the looks of this.* the captain thought as he saw the unidentified object close in onto his vessel.

"Evasive maneuvers, planes down twenty degrees." He ordered those at the helm.

"Twenty degrees, aye."

The submarine did lower itself however catching up at the rear was the vessel three time its size and with.

"Still closing sir, it's going to…"

"CRASH!"

The vessel rocked and short circuited as the larger vessel plowed into the smaller one.

"Damage report!"

"Starboard rudders' out."

"Captain the hostile craft is turning! It's making another run!"

He quickly reached for the radio mike upon hearing that.

"Prepare torpedo tubes!"

"There´s no time!" The officer at the sonar spoke as the image showed the vessel was too close to mount an offense.

Outside the vessel scrapped the hull causing a breach in the rear section and letting water in.

"This is USS Defiant! We are under attack and have sustained heavy damage! We are going down! Repeat we are going down!"

From the bridge of the large vessel a man watches as the submarine sinks.

"The surface dwellers ship has been disabled." He says to a man dressed in green and gold armor, and aura of power surrounding him.

"Good, let it sink." The blond hair man spoke in satisfaction.

Currently on board the watchtower…

Xander was currently gazing down at the Earth and finding the tranquil scene quite pacifying. He often came here to be at peace or enjoy the majestic scenery, thinking about all that he had accomplished, how far he had come in life and what the future might hold for him.

"Enjoying the view Alexander?" The unmistakable voice of Gaea spoke as she joined her grandson in gazing upon her realm from his perspective.

"I like the quiet and looking at the Earth just when the sun comes over the horizon. I really should bring the guys up here sometime to enjoy it with me." He spoke as he saw her stand next to him.

"Yes, in ancient times our kind used to do so from the heavens…and your people were of the few to walk among them as you do now though of course you do so in a more discreet manner."

*SIGH*

"I often wonder if things would have been different if the Gods took a more active role in the events that shape the lives of men."

"Probably but then people would spend all their time asking for help and never accomplishing anything. And in turn stunted their growth and not allow them to reach their potential, good or bad, I figure it's better to handle the situation lightly like parent does for their child..."

Gaea chuckled softly upon hearing that.

"Something I said?" He asked his relative in confusion.

"I recalled a time the Pantheons gathered as man was slowly drifting away from needing Gods. Many debated we should have been more active such as Zeus and Susanoo while others like Ra and Tlaloc spoke of an acceptance of the changing times." The elder Goddess looks at him as she speaks his next words.

"Odin said the same words you have just now, his people having experience when it comes to handling mortals believed in making their presence felt yet only intervene when the situation called for it."

"I guess he had a unique take given how his people enjoyed being in the presence of mortals." Xander replied with a small smile.

"True, the Aesir never did anything normally…"

*SIGH*

"Oh the stories I could tell, my favorite is something akin to Romeo and Juliet…" she spoke with a sad smile or her beautiful features "…or in this case of Kelda and William the Brave."

"Oh? I don't think I heard of them when I was training. Why is that Grandma?" The Aesir spoke with a hidden desire to learn more of his people.

"No…I don't believe I spoke of them and many others of the Aersir, you should speak with Tora about that since they have a greater knowledge base of them."

"Well I have been meaning on talking to her, just get so swamped with heroics I hardly have the time, most of the time I'm off to work to keep my cover and the rest of it is spent doing this or hanging out with my girls."

"You could ask Diana to cover for you, I know she wouldn't mind and you best keep yourself in shape mentally less you burn yourself out, even Superman can't be everywhere at once, despite his best efforts and intentions." She spoke as recalled how hard he pushed himself after Darkseid used him.

*The poor dear was running on fumes by the time he regained the public's trust, and then there's those Cadmus people, I wish I could warn them but there is only so much I am allowed to do.*

"But enough about that Alexander…" she said as she suddenly got a mischievous look in her eyes that worried him "…tell me, what's this I hear about you and a certain ensouled vampire's car hmm?"

"That wasn't my fault! I clearly TOLD Faith to watch it with those rods!"

With the others on board…

Diana, Superman and Green Lantern were overlooking the safety of the Earth and kept ready in case they were needed in either their cities or in a group. The man of steel and the amazon were monitoring the Earth while the lantern was in the training room.

"So what's the situation with the others?" Clark asked his teammate "…anything we should know about?"

"Batman is currently working on a case involving the Joker and Clayface, Flash is at a charity event in Central city, Hawkgirl and J'onn are in Seattle investigating a shipment of supposedly stolen weaponry from Lexcorp."

"More than likely sold by him." Superman said with contempt.

"I simply do not understand why he continues to walk with impunity if he is guilty of his crimes." Diana asks as it was something she couldn't wrap her head around, Xander tried to explain it to her but still her confusion remained.

*SIGH*

"The answer is because he has money, power and connections that allow him to get away with it. Every time I have gotten close to finally putting him away he finds some loophole in the system or hires someone to take the fall for him or worse destroys the evidence and anyone involved."

"But he is guilty, you know he is…couldn't you simply capture him or find some other way to deal with him without the need to bring others in that would aid in his escape of his judgment?"

"Yes I could, but I don't because then he wins, and that is something I want to never give him the satisfaction of knowing." He replied calmly to her, he understood the confusion on her face and chose to elaborate.

"You are aware of my time under Darkseid's control?"

"Yes, Xander explained how he had captured you and subverted your will to serve his conquest of Earth."

"That time, that time I became the thing I feared the most Diana…" the man before her spoke with a weary voice "…the thing I promised myself I would never allow myself to become for as long as I lived."

The Amazon princess remained silent as her friend spoke.

"Men like Luthor or Darkseid feel that because they have power they must use it to impose their will on those without it, and when they look and men like me or Xander for example."

"They feel insulted?" she ventured, he nodded at her guess.

"Yes, they see wasted potential at best or a tool to be used at worst. That time I was made a tool, a weapon by which he could circumvent New Genesis decree of protection for my adopted planet. I lorded over those I defeated as if I was some deity whose will would not be denied and I hurt so many innocents under his control there are times I see flashes of what I did at night."

"It was not your fault Superman, that monster will see justice done for all his crimes. And I guarantee we will see to it as a team." She said with utmost confidence.

"Your damn right he will!"

The former Sunnydalian's voice erupted as he flew up to the monitoring station, his senses allowing him to pick up the conversation

"…hell if you want me and J'onn will hold him down and you can kick him in the crotch repeatedly for all to see, and then we can tar and feather him except for the dome top of a head of his that sound good?"

Clark simply couldn't help but burst into a fit of laughter at the sheer absurdity of the image conveyed by his words, Diana despite not understanding the humor behind her friend's words she smiled at seeing the man cheer up.

"Oh mercy, ha ha, I haven't laughed that hard in ages." The resident kryptonian spoke as he wiped tears from his eyes.

"Never underestimate the power of comic relief." Xander said proudly "…saved that little gem for emergencies, now if I can only make Batman crack a smile I will have truly done the impossible."

Superman eye rolled at that idea, they maybe friends, but Bruce was by far the most serious individual he had ever met. Bruce Wayne may look like the devil may care billionaire but that was the true mask by which Batman hid behind, only the cape and cowl brought out the true Bruce Wayne to the surface.

That worried him sometimes about the man, the line where one began and the other ended always seemed so blurry to him. When everyone though he was dead, he told his mother and father that he needed to be Clark Kent as much as he needed to be Superman.

He was born Kal-El but he was raised Clark Kent and to him, all that he had achieved as the mere man was just as precious as what he had done in his heroic persona. He wondered how Xander felt regarding being raised mortal and while being born a God.

*Still haven't had that talk with him, maybe now would be a good time.*

However that idea came to a halt…

-This is the USS Defiant; we have been attacked by unknown vessel and are taking on water, request immediate rescue, over.—

Sending word to Stewart they all rushed towards the Javelin. They all soon pilled in, with Stewart in the pilot seat and Diana as co-pilot.

*Really got to learn how to fly this thing soon enough.* Thor thought to himself as they left the station and headed to the planet.

"USS Defiant, this is the Justice League responding help is on the way." The Lantern sent to the downed vessel after they broke through the cloud coverage and configured the Javelin for aquatic travel, something that surprised Xander when he learned how versatile the vehicle was.

Stewart maintained the nosedive until they dove into the water and leveled out.

"Don't see anything out there." Thor spoke as he looked through the windows for any sign of the damaged vessel or its assailants.

"Stay sharp, we don't know who's out there" He told her before turning to Diana "…Diana, are you getting anything on sonar?" John asked her.

"Yes, I have located the Defiant; it is 1 mile north of our current position." She spoke as the sensors showed its position.

"Any hostiles nearby?"

"No need to look for them. I think one just found us, look." Superman pointed out as a massive vessel came out of nowhere and armed its weaponry.

"Ah Hell! Move us out of range before they get trigger happy!" Xander spoke as he strapped himself in.

"On it!" He spoke just at the vessel fire two explosive orbs at them.

Though the enemy ship outclassed them in power and size, they had speed and maneuverability on theirs as Stewart piloted the smaller craft through the undersea terrain.

"Lantern, 6 o clock!" The Thunder God yelled as he pointed at some stone arches.

"I see them, hang on everybody!" He spoke as he sped up the Javelin, with the larger craft in tow.

They soon passed underneath them and before the crew of the other ship could do anything they were stuck underneath the weight of the rocks.

*PHEW*

"That takes care of them." Stewart said calmly, a calm that was soon taken away by what he saw coming in front of them.

"Remind me to give you a little lesson about a guy named Murphy, Stewart."

Thor spoke grimly as he gazed at vessels that came from the murky depths and from the looks of things were not pleased with the League.

"Time to get wet boys and girls." The Aesir quipped as he got up from his chair.

Superman nodded as he stood up and reached for the overhead compartment and pulled out two breathing masks for himself, Thor and Wonder Woman.

Thor didn't need to worry about breathing but he still needed a form to communicate with the team, hence why he accepted the mask.

"Let's go people." Stewart spoke as he encased himself, Thor, Superman and the Amazon in an emerald energy shield and left the confines of the Javelin.

All four were soon in the thick of things as they attacked the vessels.

Superman and Stewart dodged the incoming fire while the Amazon and Aesir blocked the laser fire with their bracers, hammer and sword.

The man of steel decided it was time to make things more even for their side by making short of the cannons as he ripped them out with his vast strength.

Stewart took shots at the bridge causing the glass to break and let the ocean in. The occupants were soon pushed back by the rushing water.

Superman and Wonder Woman tag teamed two ships; Superman took the one on the right and Wonder Woman the left.

"Push!" He said to her as he pushed the vessel towards the other that now moved thanks to the Amazons strength.

The results spoke for themselves when both ships crashed into one another and blew.

Stewart concentrated his power and fired a beam that cut the forward section of the vessel he had engaged, and soon had it disabled.

A vessel was chasing after Thor who was limited in the use of Mjolnir, as the last thing he wanted was to electrocute his friends; therefore he had to be creative…

Swimming down to the ocean floor as his enemy fired upon him, he neared a nearby rock formation the size of a three story building and half a block wide. He dug his hands into the earthen formation and heaved with all his godly might.

"Grrraaagh!"

*CRACK!*

With a roar filled with power he hurled the large rock from the ocean floor and into the vessel. Its occupants yelled out in a panic as they veered away from the incoming projectile, unfortunately they only managed to turn to the side and soon the screech of metal being torn apart was heard.

He nodded in satisfaction before turning around to locate the others, instead of his teammates he saw actual men without wetsuits riding on underwater bikes towards him; behind them he could see more ships.

*Well...this will be either very painful or very interesting.* He thought as he pulled out his sword from his back.

He noticed the lead rider was a long haired and bearded blonde man in green and gold armor, carrying a Trident that was giving him an odd feeling; he was quite muscled and looked like a man who knew how to fight and win.

"Halt! You and your companions are trespassing on sovereign land."

"I wasn't aware the ocean floor had ownership." He spoke without losing sight of the men or lowering his sword from a defensive position.

Aquaman studied the "man" before him as he spoke.

"You are in the borders of Atlantis, surrender or suffer the consequences."

"Considering your buddies attacked innocent men and women on board that sub while also shooting at me and my friends, I'll be going with no." Thor replies as he sees the others approach.

"This man… I sense much strength and resolve in him." Arthur thought as he analyzed the 'man's' gestures and tone, all telling him he was not the kind to back down.

"Aquaman!"

"So we meet again Superman." The ruler spoke never breaking eye contact with the Aesir while he did the same.

"We apologize for the intrusion into your lands but we received a distress call by the Defiant and came to aid them." The kryptonian spoke to the man he had once rescued from Luthor's clutches.

The undersea monarch spared a glance at the wounded vessel and responded with disdain.

"They should have stayed on the surface where they belong."

"Oh this is rich; I smell a serious case of hard ass on this one…"

Thor muttered

"…listen here buddy, from what we heard they didn't do anything to get shot at, and I think it's safe to say that the head honchos won't like the fact that you're practically declaring war on them for no reason."

"Are you threatening my people?"

He said in a neutral tone that was belied by him tightening his grip on the trident

"No… what I am saying is, we need to get this straightened out before the manure hits the fan and we wind up in a shooting match. Plus those men can't stay in there forever."

He spoke to the man not the least bit concern of the man's anger.

"Please, let us help them or they will drown." Diana added.

"Take your people and inform your leaders to never trespass upon our borders again, the submarine stays here though." He said in a tone that said he was not going to budge on this.

"Like hell!" Lantern spoke as he heard the man's ludicrous condition "…That is a nuclear submarine with NUKES on it, what makes you even think we'll…"

"You are in no position to make threats or demands, take the offer or leave it I care not."

Stewart power flared but Superman stopped any further aggressions.

"Our priority is the lives of the sailors; time isn't in our favor here." He told the man who relented in view of the circumstances.

"Come on light bright…" Thor said as he placed a hand on the former marines shoulder "…let's go save some people before you blow a gasket, the idea of you having a heart attack here is not of the good."

John reluctantly agreed as he did not like the idea of leaving WMD's just laying around for anyone to take.

Under the watchful eyes of the King and his men the League evacuated the sailors from the derelict.

Superman decided to try for a diplomatic solution.

"All of this could have been avoided in the future if you wanted."

"How?"

"Go to United Nations, and air your grievances to the leaders there."

"You would have me go there like some beggar?" He asked not to keen on the idea.

"No, like the King of your people." He spoke before he joined the others

Aquaman took those words with him as he orders his men to look for wounded and salvage what they can.

He then turns to one on of the leaders at his side.

"I want a garrison placed here; no one goes near that vessel unless I order it."

"Yes my King."

He nods before ordering his remaining troops to withdraw from the place and head home.

In Atlantis…

Aquaman was currently in his throne room listening to one of Generals arguments to attack the surface dwellers, to his right was his half-brother Orm, a man who he trusted to keep a cool head during times of crisis and tempers flared, this being one of them as it was well known that General Brak was all in favor of teaching mankind a lesson they won't soon forget.

"This situation cannot continue my King; I say that the surface dwellers are barbarians, they have invaded our sovereign borders, experimented their weapons recklessly in the seas, pollute our waters with their garbage, kill and take the sea life without any restraint, and they sail their weapons around with impunity!" He paused as he lets that sink in before continuing.

"It is high time that we put a stop to this before they will become too much for our people to bare! And we in the military have a solution."

Arthur knew full well the evil of man all too well when the man known as Lex Luthor captured him in order to learn his secrets, if not for the intervention of Lois Lane and Superman he would have remained in that tank like a fish on display.

That was the only reason he did not retaliate against the surface dwellers, he owed a debt to both of them for their selfless aid.

He also did not want a war on his hands, not if he could prevent it. He would be dammed before he brought the ugliness and savagery of war to his family and his people, but still he might as well listen to the generals' solution.

"So long as he doesn't wish to activate THAT weapon." He thought.

"What is this solution you propose?"

"Our technology is at its peak, our men more than ready to battle the surface dwellers, give the order and we shall wipe them of the face of the earth!"

Arthur did not like the sound of that.

"What does he take me for? Some bloodthirsty tyrant?"

"General Brak…I decide policy in Atlantis, not you." He replied coolly and with a steely gaze.

Brak sadly felt the need to press the issue much to the ruler's annoyance.

"But we cannot delay any further my King! We must act now before…"

"Enough General Brak! You are being disrespectful to your King." Orm spoke from his brother's side.

That seemed to have cowed the uppity man.

"My apologies Lord Orm, I did not mean to overreact." He said as he bowed.

Aquaman thought over everything spoken both here and out with Superman and looked at his wife Mera and their son as they entered the room.

Mera was a beautiful woman and wore the green robes and crown of Atlantean royalty and had her deep red hair in the way she wanted as her crown held it back as she held their son.

He could tell she was worried and no doubt deep in thought as to what was going on.

He knew that she loved to live in a peaceful kingdom and raise their son in a safe environment, he too desired the same thing as well, their safety, happiness and love was the only thing that surpassed his love for his people.

He turned and spoke to both Brak and Orm as he stood up from the throne.

"General Brak, I will consider your counsel on the matter with the surface dwellers, this is not a decision that is to be taken lightly. I will take time to consider our options and I will give my orders when I come to a decision, now leave me to my thoughts."

"Yes my King." They replied as the left.

He soon left to his chambers to join his family.

In the Royal Chambers…

Aquaman held his child in his powerful arms as he looked down warmly at his progeny, the young prince replied in kind as he held his air and laughed in wonder.

*This…this makes life worth living, but what should I do? What is best for him and my people?*

He placed him in his crib as his wife joined him.

"He has a strong grip." He told as he watched his son rest peacefully without a care in the world.

"Just like his Father." She replied as she held him.

He smiled at her, though it dimmed as he turned to look at his city, his home.

She sensed this and spoke to him gently.

"Something troubles you greatly Arthur, what is it?" She asks.

"She could always read me so well." He thought fondly as gathered his thoughts.

"Am I doing the right thing Mera? Am I steering our people and our kingdom in the right direction?" He asks before continuing.

"The surface dwellers have committed many evil things that much I know is true, but…"

"But what?"

"…but there are also those among them I respect and going to war with them…"

"It causes you grief doesn't?" She asks as she places herself in his arms.

"I may have been willing to go to war once, but being with you and our son…I do not feel a war is something our family and our people need…"

*SIGH*

"…all I want is a safe and bright future for our son and for our people, but am I strong enough to do this? To make sure we are all safe and at peace?"

Mera could tell he was torn by this decision and made sure to help him as best she could.

"You're hands are strong enough Arthur, I will gladly place my life and my future in them…and I can say the same for our son and our people." She said with a loving voice to him.

Arthur returned the smile and look over their child.

"There has to be a way to solve this peacefully, I shall not allow all we have built be torn down by the ravages of war."

With that in mind he made his choice and would seek his advisors to inform them of them.

Meanwhile on board the Watchtower…

The heroes decided to regroup after seeing to the safety of the crew in order to plan accordingly should the situation regarding the sunken vessel escalate.

Superman was currently getting in contact with the U.S Navy headquarters.

The rest were all thinking what to make of the situation.

"I understand your worries very well Admiral, and I wish we didn't leave those weapons behind, but lives were on the line and we couldn't deal with both." Superman spoke over the channel they set up with various world agencies.

Stewart was naturally in agreement with the Admiral's concerns in regard to the missile payload and voiced them to all.

"The Admiral's got a point, we should have never left those nukes down there, we should have gone back there and take them to be sure. Now they are in the hands of that madman who refuses to see reason." He said in an aggravated tone they all heard.

"Aquaman isn't a madman, he is a king, and as such is the sovereign leader of his people, he is simply doing what he thinks is best to try and protect his people and their ways." Diana spoke in attempt to defuse the situation.

"Oh yeah? Then who is going to protect us from him?" He asks in response to her comment, before turning and leaving.

*Hera guide me, I do not wish it but there is logic behind his worries.* Diana thought with a downcast expression. She turned when she felt Superman place a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Don't let it get to you too much Diana; he's only worried if things don't go so well with Aquaman."

She smiled in thanks at his words.

"By the way…" he began as he noticed the absence of their resident Aesir "… where's Thor?"

"He said he wished to know more about what we are dealing with in regards to the Atlantians, so he went to visits his friends in Sunnydale in hopes of gaining more information."

"Hmm, not a bad idea…" Superman replied as he thought it was a good idea "…let's hope he can get us some information we can use, my dealings with Aquaman were under rather tense circumstances. And it took some serious convincing to stop a war with his people the first time that happened."

*No thanks to Luthor.* the thought came with no small amount of bitterness as he recalled the man's actions and what they nearly caused.

"Yes I heard of what Luthor tried to do with the King, he should consider himself lucky you were able to appease his majesty in not declaring war on the surface."

"More like show him not all surface dwellers are out to get him, plus I had help with a good…friend you could say."

"Then let us hope we too can set a better example." She spoke with neutrality as she did hope they could succeed in this.

Meanwhile with Xander…

The Thunder God landed quietly in the suburban neighborhood where his pseudo father figure and his family lived. He made sure no one saw him as he landed and assumed a more civilian disguise.

It was a nice neighborhood to be sure, typical two story houses, white picket fences…of course does not in the know of what really goes on below the surface would be lulled into a false sense of security by it.

He soon found the home, quite easily since it was the only one giving off a magical aura around it.

*Nice to see they set up those wards, must be nice not to worry about those damn vamps trying to get an easy meal around here.*

Despite the feeling of unease he had from his encounter with the underwater dwellers he put on a smile on his face at seeing his friends even if it was business related. Calmly he pressed the doorbell and waited.

Within moments the door was opened revealing the Kalderash gypsy now wife of the Watcher. In her arms was her baby, Rose.

"Xander! What a wonderful surprise seeing you here…" she spoke as she stepped aside for him to walk inside "…are you here on a personal visit or business?"

"Business Lady J got a bit of a problem we ran into today and I could use some background information. Figured G-man would be the best place to start looking." The Thunder God replied as he stepped into the foyer.

"Oh I see, well he's at work right now but he should come by in a few minutes for lunch. Let me just leave Rose in her crib and then we can talk while we wait for him."

"Is it okay if I wait for him here?"

"Sure, just take a load off on the sofa and I'll get you something to drink."

Minutes later after she left her daughter in her crib, she returned and grabs some refreshments for them while they wait on her husband. At the six minute mark he arrived and was pleasantly surprised to see his former ward in his home.

"Xander, what a pleasant surprise to see you here."

"Well G-man…" Xander spoke with his ever present nickname for the man, who despite his brief glare still accepted it as a sign of affection from the young man turned deity

"…ran into a bit of trouble, and like I said to the misses, I figured best to get wise before I end up causing a war or something and you are the first name that came to mind."

"My word…" The British gentleman replied with some worry, if he still wore his glasses he would have found himself grabbing them and give them a thorough cleaning. He had a feeling that what he was going to learn was going to be a headache in potential.

"…is it that serious?"

Jenny shared in her husband's worry as she reached for his hand to hold.

"Not yet thankfully but I'm a bit worried things may get out of control… what can you tell me about Atlantis?"

"Atlantis? As in the Lost city under the sea? THAT Atlantis?" Jenny spoke in shock while Giles blinked in bewilderment.

"Give the lady a prize..." The former Sunnydalian said with a smirk.

" Yep THAT Atlantis and no, unlike in those films, the people there are not mermaids…we went to rescue some swabbies when we ran into some resistance; there we met the King, guy with a serious chip on his shoulder I tell you."

"Oh my, I take it he wasn't pleased with your actions?"

"Not so much as us trashing his men as the fact that we were invading his territory. The guy doesn't like it when we landlubbers decide to go for a swim or dump trash in his litter box."

"Well I can see his point of view but surely he realizes that we share this planet with him as well does he not? As well as there are people aware of the situation and are striving to find a means to end the pollution and drain of resources."

He's mentor replied calmly and rationally. That's what he loved about Giles, no matter how screwed up things were, he kept his mind on the prize.

"Don't know about that, but big blue had a run in with him a few years back, turns out Lex Luthor wanted to get a one up and do some research. Not the legal or ethical kind as usual and caught his majesty and decided to study him…you can guess where he gets his charming dispositions towards humanity from."

The married couple was aware of the man's reputation as a ruthless business man as well as a power hungry despot. Superman and Batman had warned both the Sunnydale group as well as the LA team about the man's unlawful actions as well as his uncanny ability to get away scot-free.

"Oh that bloody wanker…" Giles let out in exasperation as he rubbed his forehead

"…man's worse than Ethan bloody Rayne. And coming from me, THAT's a lot."

"Calm yourself dear, I know you don't like it but evil does not stop with demons. Humans are terribly good at causing misery without the need of magic or supernatural connections."

His wife added as she placed a comforting hand on his free one.

"Trust me G-man…" Xander's voice taking on a somber tone, one that caught them by surprise "…since I took the job of guarding NYC I've seen some things that…well let's just say my faith in humanity ain't what it used to be. Haven't lost it yet but there's been plenty of times it's been chipped."

*Bloody hell, here I am moping like a child when he has been exposed too much worse.*

*SIGH*

"Xander, I realize that I haven't been there for you for quite some time…"

"Giles…" Xander began as he felt where the man was going with this.

"No, let me finish..." the man interceded as he felt he needed to get his point across

"…when you left after the defeating the Judge, well I was quite frankly beside myself. You wisely pointed out that Angelus and Angel were indeed two separate individuals yet we couldn't see past that, I should have been more willing to listen and act yet I failed you that day."

"I failed a lot of people that day…" he spoke as he looked at his wife, they never spoke of his actions that day, and it was in the past and would remain there.

"…I realize the world is filled with men and women who often make the demons look tame, and I should have prepared you and the others for it."

"But I didn't and you found out about it the hard way, I feel though that despite what you have seen you have become a better man for not letting it change you or completely lose faith in your fellow man. And I am proud of you for that…"

"We both are Xander…" Jenny chimed in as she looked fondly at her former student

"…so is Buffy, Willow and Cordelia. You have made us all proud of the person you have become, you are a hero Xander not because you are a God with great power but because you are still the kind, caring and brave man who never gave up in our fight."

Xander for his part was stunned, sure he didn't do this for glory or for personal glory but still their words filled him with a profound sense of pride.

"Thanks…" he whispered as he tried not to let his emotions get the better of him, thankfully Giles took pity on him and spoke up.

"Well I think we've dawdled enough so let's see what we can find on your queries."

"Yeah…let's do that. I get the feeling that we're going to need to get all this squared away before everything really goes down the drain."

With that said the three soon got up and headed towards the study where the Watcher kept his more esoteric books in reserve.

Meanwhile with the Green Lantern…

Stewart had decided to launch his own investigation into the matter and returned to the scuttled ship. Sure this was asking for trouble, but those were nuclear weapons for God's sake. The mere thought of anyone getting their hands on it made the Marine see red as he didn't need to be a Lantern to know how much damage even one nuke will do.

*Hmm, lots of activity around here.* He thought as he saw the many guards and patrols around the ship.

He carefully made his way through until he reached the sub.

He went into vessel and when he reached the missile bay he found nothing, no missiles at all.

He went deeper and discovered the rods were also gone; needless to say he was livid.

On the surface…

There was quite the commotion as Aquaman had made his way from the beach and further inland to see the world leaders.

His presence created quite the uproar as he ignored the passerby's and drivers, though when one irritated him enough he smashed his fist into his car to silence him.

The police tried to arrest him, try being the key word, as he quickly grabbed the man and lifted him up easily.

"Where is the World Assembly Building?" He ordered.

Back in the Watchtower…

J'onn had returned after he and Hawkgirl resolved the matter in Seattle, their teammates reporting everything that had occurred when the Lantern came in, from the looks of things he was not happy.

"I knew we couldn´t trust that fishman!" he yelled as he made his way towards them "The subs been stripped and the Plutonium is gone."

"And you think Aquaman´s responsible?" Diana asks, though inwardly she is worried.

"Could I have been wrong about him?"

"Who else could it be Princess? We got to back at Atlantis and get some straight answers." He spoke as it was the best course of action.

Superman chose that moment to speak up.

"If its Aquaman you want he´s not in Atlantis." He spoke as he observed the latest news the others soon joining him.

-According to eye witness accounts, Aquaman then forced his way past the guards and into closed session of the world delegates. But as to why he is here or what he wants will have to wait for further developments— Snapper Carr finished.

"Well isn´t that just great." Shayera spoke as she palmed her face.

"Time to get some answers then." Stewart spoke as he moved towards the elevator.

"We might as well, before he creates an international incident." Clark said to the rest of the heroes before focusing on Hawkgirl "…Hawkgirl you stay and keep monitoring the situation form up here and give Thor a heads up about our arrival, if I know him as I think I do he'll be there before us."

"Got it."

At the World Assembly building…

Things were not going smoothly at the assembly as Aquaman had barged and started to let his terms for peace known.

However the terms he set were both preposterous and costly in the minds of the delegates.

The representative of France made this known.

"First you sink a nuclear submarine, and then you threaten us to make peace! Who gave you the right!"

"I am the born ruler of Atlantis." He replied firmly.

"A country we do not even recognize!"

"These are my final terms refuse them at your own risks." He spoke in all seriousness.

The spoke person next to him voiced his objections.

"But your demands are outrageous; they would compromise our entire global defensive economy!"

"Your problem, not mine." He said with no care for the man's valid reasoning.

This only angered the delegates further.

*This was a waste of time, I should have realized that they wouldn't change their ways.* He thought as he surveyed the men and women who yelled at him.

"Aquaman!" The voice of the man of steel was heard as he flew in through the doors with the others following behind him.

"I offer them a chance for peace and this is their answer." He said to the man with disappointment.

"Please these things take time…"

"I´ve wasted too much time already."

"Wait!" Wonder Woman spoke hoping to salvage the situation but the man simply pushed her aside much to her and the Asgardians annoyance.

"A real prince charming." Lantern spoke dryly.

"No kidding." Thor added next to the Amazon warrior.

Aquaman made his way outside avoiding the reporter's questions.

However up on an adjacent building a figure preps a high powered weapon and aims at the undersea monarch. Upon reaching a good distance he fires the rocket to an unsuspecting King.

"BOOM!"

Chaos soon reigns as everyone is in a state of panic from the vicious attack, the League rushes out and finds the aftermath.

"No!" the man of steel shouts in denial as the worst possible scenario comes about, they all quickly the rush to fallen man.

In Atlantis…

Orm and some of the General watched the newscast showing the League moving their King into an ambulance for medical treatment; it stood without saying that they were shocked.

In that state Orm had found them, yet curiously he was already in the royal armor and trident of the King.

"We cannot allow this treacherous attack to go unpunished!" Arthur half-brother spoke in evident anger.

The Generals were surprised to see the King´s brother dressed as such and even more so by his tone of voice showing what he planned to do, one of the clearer headed ones spoke against that line of thought.

"With all due respect Lord Orm, but you are in no position to give that order, the King…"

"The King maybe already dead…" He said as he passed the man and headed for the others "…and the prince is still an infant."

"But even so the law of succession must be respected…"

"The prince will take control once he has come of age, but in the meantime this outrage must be avenged…"

"Orm did you hear!" Mera spoke as she came to him once the news reached her ears.

"My dear Mera all of Atlantis mourns your loss." He said in an effort to comfort.

"You speak as if he will never come back."

"I pray he will, but who knows what horrors the surface dwellers may visit upon him." He spoke to the distraught Queen.

Back in the hospital where Aquaman was admitted…

"We got a line in yet? I need him stabilized." The doctor spoke as he placed an oxygen mask on the comatose man.

"Negative, his skin is tougher than a Rhinos." The nurse replied as she showed the bent needle.

He checks the EKG and did not like what he saw.

"His vitals are falling…this is hopeless."

The League was outside observing the scene as the doctor came out; Wonder Woman asked the question they had on their minds.

"How bad is it?"

"Hard to tell, his physiology isn't like ours, it´s unlike anything I have ever seen." He spoke in all honesty.

"But can you help him?" Superman asks.

"I don´t know."

At that moment someone came with a solution.

"Then maybe I can." The Dark Knight of Gotham spoke as he came out of the shadows.

Quickly Superman led the orderlies and the patient into a room with Batman standing next to a large tank of water.

Superman gently places him inside after the doctor hooks up the monitoring sensors.

"His vitals…they´re stabilizing." The man says in relief, he is approached by the caped crusader with a clipboard in hand.

"Make sure to keep the saline level at 3.5%"

"But how can you possibly guess that?"

"He´s a fish out of water doctor…" he replies as he looks at Arthur "…salt water."

The media was camped out in front of the hospital while the League members were in the room with the Atlantean monarch.

"He´s coming around." Clark says for all to hear.

Stewart decided they have waited enough, he wants answer and he was going to get them.

"Good, now maybe we can get some answers…" he spoke before he "delicately" banged on the tank.

"What did you do with the Plutonium!"

"Real smooth there Stewart, asking a man who took a rocket to the chest where nuclear material is after being attacked." Thor spoke at the man´s lack of tact.

*Ugh, this is giving me such a headache and I'm a freaking God for crying out loud! And the girls said me and Angel were bad but these two nuts take the damn cake.*

"So long as we get some answer for the man, I don´t care."

Aquaman quickly awoke having heard the two heroes bicker.

"Plutonium?" He asked as he got and removed the sensors from his chest.

"From the submarine, you stole it." The Lantern accused.

"My orders were to leave that vessel where it lay." He replied though he did not like the man´s blatant disregard for his word.

"You expect us to believe that?"

"Believe what you want, someone tried to kill me I need to find out whom?" he spoke as he moved to the window.

"You are not leaving until we get some answers!"

"I do not take orders from the likes of you." The king all but snarled as he stepped in close to the Lantern.

"Oh yeah?" Stewart replied in kind as he was practically butting heads with Aquaman.

Unfortunately for them someone had enough of the posturing and grandstanding.

"ENOUGH!" The Thunder God voice boomed as loudly as the very thunder and lightning he wields, stepping in between the two men who were shocked at the Aesirs actions "You two need to cool off and shut the hell up now!"

The League was equally surprised to hear the man´s apparent displeasure, to their knowledge the God had never really shown much of a temper…clearly they were not present for it when they went to Oa.

*Time to take the bull by the balls and gets these two nuts to play nice!* Xander said to himself as he turned to his first target the Green Lantern, as he did he tapped into the remnants of the Soldier still rattling in his head.

"Stewart, you need to let go of your anger right now, this situation calls for cool heads and clear thoughts."

"But…"

"DO NOT BUT ME SOLDIER!" The Aesir yelled loudly as he emulated a drill sergeant talking down an unruly recruit, he further emphasizes his point by placing his finger on the former marine and began to push him back onto a gurney. Batman and Superman stepping aside as they moved still caught off guard by what they were seeing.

"Now you may not be a member of the Marine corp. anymore, but by whatever God or Gods watching I know they hardwired some discipline in you and so help you will use that discipline or so help me I will take this fist and knock out all your teeth until you do, do you get me?"

"Yes sir." He said in a quiet voice as he was quite pole axed at what was happening.

"Do you get me soldier!"

"Sir, yes sir!"

The son of Thor gave a firm nod before turning around and leaving an absolutely stunned John Stewart.

*Good God! Was this guy in the military or something! I felt like I was back in boot!*

"As for you…" He said to the wide eyed King "…under normal circumstances I would be diplomatic and all that crap, but right now I do not give a damn about that. What I do give a damn about is that you have been nearly killed which could be used to start a war, which will kill many innocent people including those of your beloved Atlantis."

"You would dare speak…"

"BE SILENT!"

*KRAKOOM!*

With the exception of Thor, the occupants of the room were surprised by the sudden thunder booming outside the hospital in response to the Aesir's will as he wanted to get his message through.

"Now you listen here you royal pain in the ass! When someone offers to help you out of goodwill and mutual survival, you do not go ape shit and throw a fucking hissy fit…"

Xander continued his rant as he got into the man's face

"…so what will be happening is the following, WE shall help each other find out who tried to kill you, WE will find out what the hell happened to that Plutonium and WE WILL prevent a war that serves no one purposes except to kill a lot of people."

With that said the Aesir turned around and leaned on the wall, unmindful of the stares he was getting after his display.

"…"

"How do you plan to do that?" the King finally spoke after the silence had stretched long enough, never taking his eyes of the God among them who reciprocated in kind.

"First let's analyze the situation, obviously someone knew you were coming to the surface and also took into account your unique body type." The J'onn spoke neutrally.

"That would mean the assassin was given prior knowledge of him. That only happens if someone who knew Aquaman and knows he's an Atlantean gave that information." Batman added.

"Did you inform anyone of your coming here?" Superman questioned.

"Only my wife knew of my attempt for peace, no one else." He replied in all honesty, though internally he was shaken by these allegations.

*A traitor in my very court? No, it can't be! No one would be foolish enough to risk my wrath for bringing about a war for our people.*

"That doesn´t leave a whole lot to work with." Diana says as she joins in.

"Not necessarily, someone could have been listening in on your conversation without you being aware of it." John says calmly.

"Are you suggesting I have a traitor in my kingdom?" Aquaman finally asks incredulously at the theories being spouted off.

"It is the only logical answer, it is too convenient for an assassin to know, where, when and how to attack you, and if I'm right he will try again if news of your death doesn´t reach him soon." Xander spoke up.

"This is outrageous, no one would be foolish enough to try and kill me, the penalty for such and act is death, and even then the law states only my immediate next of kin would succeed me." Again he voiced he's previous thoughts when deep down he was starting to doubt his denials.

"Like I said it is the only logical conclusion."

"I think I know a way to get the information we want, but it´s going to need your cooperation." Batman said to the King.

Soon enough news came out informing everyone of the man was going to a better facility for treatment.

Green Lantern was in the room with the King much to the displeasure of both men.

Wonder Woman and Thor were on one building's roof, while Batman and Superman were at another.

J´onn was playing the role of Aquaman as he was carried out in the hospital gurney to the ambulance.

-I hope this plan of yours works Batman— Diana said to him through the comlink as he looked through his binoculars.

"Just keep your eyes open."

"Here he comes." Superman spoke as the trap was set.

As all eyes were on the transformed Martian, a man in disguise came out of a manhole between the adjacent buildings; he carefully made his way until he reached a mailbox and pulled a rocket launcher from his bag.

Wonder Woman caught site of the man.

"There!" She shouted to the others as her body tensed to spring into action.

"I see him." Batman spoke as he hurled a batarang with uncanny precision to the front end of the launcher causing him to misfire.

Having failed at getting at his target the unknown assassin soon ran to the very manhole he used to get there, Superman was the first to arrive and met quite the shock in the literal sense of the word as enough voltage ran through him that he was knocked unconscious.

Batman arrived to check up on the Martian, who was perfectly fine, before they both went in the direction Superman and the assassin took.

The man in question removed the disguise to reveal a man in a red and gray suit, this was the notorious assassin known as Deadshot, whose escape plan included the use of a high speed motorcycle he was currently boarding.

Batman and the Martian arrived to find Superman unconscious; Batman handled that while J´onn phased into the sewers just in time to watch Deadshot drive towards him with no intention of stopping, he phased just in time as the man reached him then reached for his comlink to inform Wonder Woman.

"Diana, he is heading in your direction!"

Diana nodded as she quickly moved off the building she was on and quickly struck the street sending out a shockwave that caused the road to cave down, forcing the assassin to the direction she wanted.

She wasted no time and ripped out the grid and moved down to the sewer.

The man turned his right to stop as Diana spoke.

"End of the road!"

The man replied calmly at that.

"I'll take a detour." As he raised his left arm and fired a missile at the street above her.

Wonder Woman had no choice but to shield herself when the roof came down on her and buried her in rubble as he sped away in the opposite direction from her. She quickly moved the rubble away and tried to look for the man but it was clear that he got away from them; she however kept her cool and reported to the others.

"He managed to get away from me but he's moving to the other tunnel to the right."

Meanwhile Aquaman and Lantern…

"What is taking so long? I must return to Atlantis." The ruler said with growing impatience as he neared the former Marine.

"Sit down your highness, will tell you when it´s safe to go."

"Besides I don´t need another dressed down from Thor." He thought.

Aquaman seemed to comply… until he delivered a left hook that knocked him out.

"You presume too much."

And with that, he left with thoughts on what was suggested in regards to this being an inside job, so to speak.

Back with the others…

Deadshot kept the bike running and was about to be forced to take a turn, not knowing he had more company waiting for him in the form of Gotham's Dark Knight. The assassin paid little care to running over the man as he accelerated.

Batman used his grapple gun after leaving a present for the man in the form of miniature spike mines.

Deadshot ran over them and crashed, though not hard enough to compromise him as evidenced by him getting up and running for his freedom…or would have had the most feared man in Gotham stand in his way.

"Deadshot, I should have known it was you, make it easy on yourself and don´t move." The cape crusader spoke in a tone that left no argument, having dealt with this man before in Gotham.

Deadshot however wasn´t about to make it easy for anyone as he launched several smoke bombs at him and took off running, soon reaching his secondary vehicle a green van with hatch in the bottom and filled with plenty of weapons.

"I found him." Superman spoke as he trailed the man.

-Lead him towards me Superman— Thor spoke through the com channel.

Superman did just that as he made the man accelerate in traffic.

-Now Superman disable the rear tires, I´ll handle the front. —

Superman did so as he fired twin beams at the right rear tire, he looked up and saw that the Thunder God stood in front of him hammer at the ready. The out of control vehicle was soon at a desirable range as Xander swung Mjolnir down on the hood causing to flip over him land in a broken heap on its roof.

Superman wasted no time and ripped off the door before pulling out the groaning man out, Xander placed his hammer on his back as he approached to later pull out his sword moments later, it was in his experience that criminals freaked out more at the sight of it more than the hammer.

"Okay, okay, I give up." He spoke resignedly seeing as he had no other means to escape and was soon to be surrounded by the League.

Superman wasted little time as he knew that they had to hurry since time was of the essence.

"You tried to kill Aquaman, why?"

Deadshot decided to take the more sarcastic route in this matter as the others arrived.

"Gee, now why would a hired gun try to shoot somebody? Could it be someone paid me to?"

Superman was quick to get the sarcasm, but ignored it for now as they were joined by J'onn, Diana, Batman, and Diana. She was the next one to ask, though her question was more focused on finding out who had paid Deadshot.

"Who?" Getting closer to get the answer.

Deadshot looked at Diana and could help but mentally whistle at the very attractive woman, so ignoring his situation he decided to have some fun at her expense.

"Oh come on babe, you know I can't tell you that professional ethics…" he said as he checked her out, something neither she nor Xander missed, and caused the latter to scowl "…but then again, heh heh, if you make it worth my while."

Diana frowned darkly at the implication in the man's voice. This only reminded her of her teachers and mothers talks of man's nature to women…Thor didn't need to be a mind reader to know what Diana was thinking, and unfortunately this reminded him of the time Larry made some lewd comments to Buffy back in high school.

*Well this time, I can do something very manly and satisfying at the same time.* He thought as he holstered his sword for what was to come.

"Superman, you mind if I take a crack at him? I´ll get him to talk." He spoke in such a way that didn't seem to show his intention, far too innocent Batman believed, though that feral smile wasn't exactly giving off the right image for it.

"Oh great..." Deadshot began with a mocking tone, unaware he was about to experience some VERY intense pain.

"…if it isn't the screw loose with a Viking fetish, what are you going to do to me?"

Thor's response was to punch him gently, by at least his standards, in the gut.

"Guh!"

He let him fall to his knees before he roughly grabbed him by the head to make him look directly into his eyes before he addressed him.

"Listen Deadshot…" he spoke calmly with no remorse for hitting the man "…you mind if call you Deadshot? I would just like to point our three things to you before we begin..."

"You´re…" *COUGH* "…supposed to ask…" *WHEEZE*… me a question before you do that." The assassin got out as he tried to compose himself. The Aesir's response to this was to strike him again.

*WHOOMP*

"Urgh!"

"First off, that was to let you know how serious I am about getting this information. Second, I do not like it when people interrupt me as I am speaking so do not do so again. Now then what was I saying? Ah yes things to point out, first I do not like it when you disrespect my friend here who was quite polite in asking you a question…"

Xander directed a look towards Superman before continuing.

"I frankly do not like it when your actions could lead to a war that could kill many innocent people, but what really pisses me off is the disrespect you just showed to her…"

He said to the hired gun while pointing his thumb at Wonder Woman who was caught off guard by that.

"See, I have spent my life around strong, confident women who have earned their places as a man's equal. And quite frankly you disrespecting her, a woman who is by all rights a proud and noble warrior as well as an emissary of peace and justice for her people well that just doesn't seem right now does it? So before we begin I would like for you to apologize to her…NOW."

"Fuck you and your bitch." Was the response the Thunder God received for his request.

*SIGH*

"Wrong answer buddy, here´s a penalty." He said to his prisoner before he grabbed his left arm and from there his pinky finger before he bent it in an unnatural way.

"CRACK!"

"Argh!"

"Son of a…!"

"That was your punishment, now apologize."

"Fuck you!"

"CRACK"

"There goes your ring finger."

"Gah, Kiss my ass you freak!"

"CRACK!" Index is bent.

"You really believe I won´t continue? I can go breaking every bone all day you worthless piece of shit. Now where is that apology I wanted, or would you like it that I use my hammer to break the rest of your fingers?"

"I'm sorry! I am sorry!"

"Good, now do I need to break anything else or will you talk and tell us what we want to know?" To add to the effect he held the man's trigger finger and started to reach for Mjolnir to strike at Deadshot's hand. He did not need to remove the mask to sense that the man was proverbially shitting bricks now.

"I-I´ll talk! I don´t know who it was! H-he kept himself hidden and I don´t ask who they are… b-but the way he paid me was odd… check the van it´s still in there!"

Superman did so and saw that it was scattered all over, Batman approached the stash and was surprised by what he saw.

"Spanish Doubloons."

*This proves it, there is a traitor in Aquaman's kingdom.*

"See I told you! Now get this maniac off me!" The assassin implored.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Xander said as he released the man and then proceeded to knock him out with a right cross to the face.

The others gave him questioning looks at his actions, to which he simply shrugged before answering.

"I don´t like people insulting my friends or women." He said while looking at her getting a smile out of her.

"Will talk about your interrogation methods later Thor, right now we need to get back Aquaman and show him this proof." Batman spoke

"A bit late for that." Stewart spoke as he joined them nursing a sore jaw.

"What happened?" Superman asked, though he had a pretty good idea.

"That royal pain in the neck is already gone, I couldn´t stop him."

"Great, we went from SNAFU to FUBAR in ten seconds flat." Xander said out loud in a grim tone.

"Hera help him." Diana says with worry as she can only imagine what will occur to the monarch.

In Atlantis…

Arthur returned to his kingdom and saw many surprised by his return; apparently someone deemed it fit to declare him dead in his absence.

"No! Could that man be right? Who would dare spread such rumors!" He furiously thought as he made his way to the throne room.

He arrived just in time to hear his brother Orm speak to his Generals.

"My friends, now is the time for action! Now is the time for mighty Atlantis to rise up and strike terror into the hearts of its enemies! Are you with me!"

Hearing the cheers of his men was enough for him to take action.

"Orm!" He yelled as he entered the room much to everyone shock.

"Could Orm be the traitor as the surface dweller in armor said to me? How many are in on this conspiracy against me? How could my own brother do this to me? To Atlantis!"

"What treason is this!"

Orm then spoke as Aquaman came closer.

"No treason Brother I thought you were…"

"Dead!" He finished for him.

"That´s no reason to plunge Atlantis into a foolhardy war! I left specific orders…"

Orm glared at him and replied darkly to his brother.

"I´m only doing what you never had the courage to do."

"Enough! I´ll hear no more, Arrest the traitor!" He ordered, but none moved to heed the command.

Orm spoke in an arrogant and utterly satisfied tone to the soldiers with him.

"You heard him."

The soldiers leveled their weapons…not at Orm as Aquaman hoped, but to him…

"I have been betrayed! By my brother no less!"

"What!"

"You are the traitor; you abandoned your people, sold them out to the surface dwellers…" He paused as he basked in the moment of his triumph "…look around you Brother, I´m in charge now." He said darkly, as Aquaman could only look on in anger.

To be continued…

A/N: I hope you enjoy the beginning of this saga and the second part to come, from here I'm not sure if I should follow in Freedom Guard's footsteps and make something of a world tour or move on to the next episode…well I'll have plenty of time to decide.

Oh and I have decided to use the Comic and Animated version of Doomsday, it simply would not do to use that crappy clone of Superman since the original was way more hard hitting.

Still not sure about Galatea though.

Let's answer some reviews:

Guest: Which version? Please be specific…nah I'm kidding it will be the Marvel first because in the DC I have to really plan the Hades/Spartan battle.

SeanHicks4: Yeah i couldn't help myself and had to poke a bit of fun at Angel.

Wonderbee31: Well i will have him confront the situation with the Order as well as Ice's attidude shifts when he isa round, i will strive to get a Fire/Flash pairing since there is a lack of it in fanfiction…was considering making it a Flash/Salyer deal but i couldn't see to it, may be have him be a friend.

GeorgeTobor: I aim too please!

Knives91: Nah…i ain't that mean…yet.

RoyalTwinFangs: Its next on the list, you have my Word.

Raidentensho: Haven't decided yet.

Trooper0007: Awe and reverence from the Amazons while with Hades i will go with apathy, then rage and bloodlust.

That's all for now so peace out!
