Chapter Eleven- Casualties of War:

All the key members of the Justice League sat at the conference table, many of which were arguing over the fate as the robot formally known as John Corben.

Lois rose to her feet and whistled causing everyone to turn their attention towards her, "Why is it so hard to decide the fate of this man? All of us are from different worlds and cultures that lead us to be misunderstood by others, the fact is that even though John Corben is a kryptonite powered android who's soul purpose is to cause chaos. He is still apart of this world and only he can choose his fate, which is why I vote to release him."

Several of the heroes were whispering until John Stewart stood up saying, "We'll let him go, but on one condition. We disengage his Kryptonite powered fuel and replace it with something less harmless."

The heroes all nod and agree, Lois mouths a 'thank you' to John as the league members all files out of the conference hall.

Lucy/Lois Lane's Apartment:

The door jolted open as Lucy's grew wide at the sight of John Corben standing right in front of her with a bouquet of roses, his boyish smile would have won her over until reached towards the nearby end table and pulled out a gun.

"You know that wont work on me Luce." John said still sporting that smile, Lucy just shook her head saying, "Regular bullets might not work on you but electro-magnetically charged rounds should give you quite the hangover"

John immediately walked towards her pressing the barrel of the gun into his chest as he looked her dead straight in the eye and said, "Go on and pull the trigger, if what we had meant nothing then go ahead and pull the trigger"

Lucy's eyes steamed with tears as John grabbed the gun from her and dropped it to the ground, his lips crashed onto hers as neither noticed a small speck of a tear that trailed down John's face as well.

LuthorCorp Plaza:

The lab techs and interns quickly slipped on the metal form around Lex's body while the kryptonite flowed through the tubes and into the main system.

"All systems are set Mr. Luthor" Dr. Kreig says adjusting the gauntlets as the suit light up a sickly green.

The lab techs stepped back as Lex stretched his hand forward and a green charged blast shot through a solid plate of steel.

Lex smiled evilly while he held up his hand and examined the hole which was still steaming from the intense heat, "Is the suit ready for combat?"

Dr. Kreig just nodded, "Its ready but there is a medical complication."

Lex grabbed the doctor by the throat and pulled him close to his face saying, "What complication?"

"If the kryptonite was to enter your bloodstream, there is a possibility that you could be infected by the radiation." the doctor croaks out as Lex continued to squeeze his throat harder until a sickly snap was heard.

Lex turned to Mercy who stood back with the others and said, "Clean this mess up, I've got work to do."

Mercy just nodded watching while Lex stormed out of the lab wearing the suit along with fiery twinkle in his eyes.

Kent Farm:

Martha was out of town on a very special vacation with Ben Hubbard, Clark had the sneaking suspicion that they would come back with an announcement.

He constantly went through old files while he fed the livestock, the constant run around to learn the truth about Amanda Waller and the JLA just gave him more of a headache.

He was unaware that Deathstroke, the highest paid assassin in the world was fifty yards away with a sniper rifle in his hands ready to take action.

The bullet ran out as it was almost close to hitting Clark that was until a blast of energy caused it to hit a nearby post, Clark turned to see a blonde haired man wearing gold yellow goggles that was attached to a mask like material which kept his eyes hidden but his nose and mouth visible, the rest of the outfit was a mixture of blue and gold with the only type of identification was a blue star on his chest similar to how Batman and Superwoman wear their insignias.

The man looked at Clark before zooming out towards the field and blasting Deathstroke's rifle, "You should learn by now that gun's are dangerous"

He picks Deathstroke up by his costume and says, "Get in your car and never come here again, if you think about harming the Kent's then I will make you wish that you never slipped on that mask."

Deathstroke scrambles out of his grip and was about to strike the young man only to have the man grab his fist saying, "I wonder how the FBI would handle knowing the location of the most wanted criminal"

Deathstroke walked towards the car in defeat as the man just smirked and flew back to the barn saying, "Sorry that I scared you."

Clark held the pitchfork to the man saying, "Who the hell are you and what did you just do?"

The gold and blue suited man held up his hands in surrender saying, "Easy with the fork, my name is Booster Gold and I'm from the future."

Metro Jewelers:

Superwoman had just apprehended several thieves who tried to steal a canary diamond, the press was flashing photos and trying to get her attention until a green energy blast shot towards her, the pain soon shot through her body causing her to fall to the ground in pain as the armored Lex Luthor walked towards her pushing the photographers out of the way and even throwing them into nearby vehicles.

His fist connected with her face as the crack in her jaw could be heard while the blood spurted out of her mouth while Lex just picked her up by the back of her suit and slammed her against the nearest wall like a she was a toy car.

"I've lost a lot of money because of you" Lex said squatting down in front of the Kryptonian who was growing weaker as well as gasping for air.

Superwoman tried to throw a punch until Lex grabbed her fist and cracked her knuckles with a sadistic smile on his face, "You think that just because you have the power that no mortal has that you can flaunt it around the world as if you better then everyone"

She shook her head, "This is my home too, I've never done anything that wasn't in the interest of Earth"

Lex grabbed her by the chin saying, "Nice to see that you've finally joined the conversation, it's a shame we wont get to finish it."

Next thing Lex knew, Metallo rammed him into the nearest wall saying "Your not going to touch her"

Lex just flew back in front of John smirking, "I thought you'd be playing house with your little Lucy"

John punched Lex sending him to the ground, "You've taken everything away from me and your not taking Superwoman from this world"

Lex just laughed, "You were the one hell bent on killing her, why the change?"

John grabbed Lex by the throat saying, "Because even people can change"

Lex just smirked as Lois's eyes widened when she saw Lex shoot his robotic arm through Metallo's body causing sparks to fly and John to fall off Luthor's arm onto the ground twitching with the last piece of life.

Lex turned to move towards Superwoman only to see her fist connect with the kryptonite center, the two adversaries fell to the ground with flashes of the journalist's cameras as well as several emergency crew workers who started down at their beloved hero as the kryptonite fuel began to seep into her system.

Kent Farm:

Clark looked at the strange hero and asked, "What do you mean the future?"

Booster just smirked saying, "I mean that I'm from the 25th century and I came here to save you as well as the rest of the JLA."

Clark grew confused, "Why would the league and I need saving?"

Booster just shook his head saying, "I cant divulge that information…" he was cut off when his watch began beeping which signaled the wormhole activation.

"I'd love to continue this interest conversation but I need to get back to my own time. But down worry Clark, we'll meet again" he said pushing a button on his suit and soon disappeared leaving Clark to stand there dumbfounded that was until he turned to see Batman standing in the shadows.

Clark grew worried, "You never make house calls, unless something…"

Batman cut him off by walking towards him saying, "Lois was in a fight with Lex, she's not doing too well."

Clark immediately grew concerned, "Where was the league when she was fighting off Luthor?"

Batman just bowed his head, "The whole world needs to be monitored, not to mention the other galaxies and worlds. Lois knew what she was doing when she punched the kryptonite mainframe."

Clark looked Batman dead in the eyes saying, "I want to see Lois….NOW!"

Batman just nodded and began to escort Clark towards the bat-jet which would take them to Lois's only remnants of Krypton…

Fortress of Solitude:

Clark looked around the crystalline structures while Batman walked towards the consoles saying "Lois doesn't have enough energy to fly out to the sun, the only way for the kryptonite to expel from her system is here…"

"What is this place? And Where's Lois?"

Bats turned turning a near by crystal to reveal a hidden room behind the crystalline structure, "She's been asking for you since we got here, if the Fortress cant heal her then this may be her last night alive."

TBC…

I know that's kind of bad to end it like this but trust me the best is yet to come, and sadly we are ending this journey very soon but it will be a great ending. REVIEWS
