Connor POV
There was panic in the android network. New Jericho was arming itself for war, its fleets and planes where being called back, spies where preparing to bug out everywhere, those in isolated areas where gathering supplies, and the ruling council, consisting of Markus, Simon, North, Josh, and Helios back home were gathering all assets. Meanwhile, Jack was mobilizing his forces on the mainland, while he was making sure everything was in place. The reason, Superman's return.
It started like any other day, with gathering information, making sure that the humans weren't planning anything drastic, but that changed when one of the energy monitors was picking up large scale readings coming from the watchtower. Almost as if it was coming from a portal. They tapped into the watchtower's mike and surveillance, only to learn that the justice league had left to help another earth and had returned with different costumes.
It was strange, to see them in different costumes, but if they wanted a change in style, they had freedom to do so. It was only when they began arming the Watchtower, placing armored plating and new defense turrets did he begin to worry. But then again, it could have just been a desire to fortify their base, nothing out of the ordinary, but still, best to send a warning back to Markus and raise it to defcon 4.
It was only when the Doomsday abomination that the people at that metahuman project unleashed did they realize that they should have not only been worried, but absolutely fucking worried. When analyzing their fighting styles, they realized that they were much more lethal. Then superman lobotomized Doomsday with improvised laser surgery. A much more worrying aspect, and when he had one of his agents analyze Superman's brainwaves, they had realized that this Superman was greatly different. As if he was from a different earth, and from the rising amount of data, Connor had no choice but to bring New Jericho into defcon 3. But superman's words where terrifying, and if war with the Justice league took place, there was a 89% chance of the justice league winning according to Helios, with 95% chance of the destruction or surrender of every political power. New Jericho would put up a fight, but androids, while much more powerful than the average human, where no match against a superpowered alien. Therefore, the best combat situation would be pulling out and waging guerrilla warfare, but even that was not a guaranteed victory.
He just hoped that they wouldn't attack, or they were all screwed.
Jack POV
Relief, that was all he could feel. That the justice league was able to sort this entire mess out. What happened was that they had encountered an alternate universe, in which the Justice League, following the death of Flash, had gone on a war path, and forcefully took control of the earth. From there, they had then taken steps to spread their influence to this earth as well, and would have succeeded, had the original Justice League came back and bring in support from Lex Luthor. But it also proved that the justice league could be vulnerable to the same path, which was very scary. He needed to form several plans in the event of Justice League take over. But despite him knowing of Kelly's status as a member of the government project, which was now being renamed Cadmus, in his opinion, it was unstable, and needed a much more hands off approach. He knew Kelly would be able to work there, supplying crucial data back to Cyberlife, but any other interaction between them was to be prohibited, as any reveal of their interactions would result in political scandal. In his opinion, Cadmus was only useful as a rod of uranium, if harnessed properly, it would be useful, but otherwise, extremely dangerous to wield. What was more worrying was Amanda Waller. That woman was a tough but patriotic woman, and god help those who crossed her. She respected only hard workers and believed in the ends justify the means, meaning she wouldn't care how many deaths that her actions could cause. A very dangerous mind set, and one he had once shared, but that was when he was still on the run. Now, he had a wife and people to look after, so he needed to carefully choose his actions.
He needed a vacation, maybe send a request to Connor asking for him for temporary leave. Maybe spend some time with Chloe. Anything was better than this mess.
Kelly POV
Finally, the perfect opportunity. Cadmus had finally been formed and now under formal leadership, she could gather much more information as head of the tech division. Researching new weapons that would combat the Justice League. However, the downside was that she now was forced to answer and work with more humans. The paranoid Emile Hamilton who she thought was more rat than man, General Eiling a man so stiff in duty and patriotism that she thought him a statue, and Dr. Milo, who she just found pathetic. The only one she had respect for was Amanda Waller, who could keep the rats in Cadmus in check and allow her to continue her research. Amanda Waller in turn liked how Kelly could not be bought, convinced, or threatened, and viewed her as a valuable asset. Had Amanda been an android, Kelly believed that they could even be friends. Still, she was human, and Kelly wasn't keen on giving the humans weapons and power, especially if they decided to turn them on New Jericho. Still, she needed the data from meta humans, and the DNA from Galatea that she aquired from Hamilton would allow her to research weapons that would be useful to combat individuals such as Superman and Supergirl, and she had even created several schematics designed from the three aliens in the Justice League that where designed to be the android equivalent of Superman, Hawkgirl, and Martian Manhunter. With this, she sent a copy of the schematics to Jack, and went back to work. She needed to place in countermeasures for if she was ever found out, but until then, she continued her research.
