Hannah POV
She was currently monitoring all calls and had pulled up a direct communication between the Watchtower and Oa, the Green Lantern Corp base. Apparently the guardians called about an emergency situation.
"What's going on?" asked a concerned Green Lantern.
"There's an object approaching Oa at a somewhat astonishing speed." Answered the Guardian.
"We'll take care of it." Said Kyle Rayner, another human Green Lantern, as he and several dozen other Lanterns flew out into Oa's atmosphere. Once there, they combined the power of their rings to form a massive barrier.
"Nothing's getting through this baby." Said Rayner confidently.
The boast was proven wrong when an object traveling at hyperspace speed had blown through the wall. She analyzed the video at a slower speed, and found that the object was none other than AMAZO, the android that was built by a member of Lex Corp. With the Android able to copy the ability of any metahuman, he had eventually gained the ability to ascend to that of a god, the ultimate form of Android Evolution.
Everyone who had seen it simply stared; this single being had destroyed one of the most powerful civilizations in mere seconds. There were no words, no coherent thoughts. All they could do was stare.
"Oa," murmured Green Lantern, "it's gone."
The loss of Oa was particularly hard for John; it had been both a base of operations and a home away from home for him. He and the rest of the Corps had devoted their lives to protecting the planet, and in turn, Oa gave protection to their worlds. Now it, and everyone who lived there, was dead.
"It gets worse" Hannah stated "I've calculated its trajectory and speed, its headed for earth, estimated time of arrival will be 4 hours."
The Martian nodded and sent out an omega level alert to all Justice League Members.
Hannah meanwhile was confused, if the Android was cosmically evolved, why was it returning. It had no prior attachments to Earth, right?
Regardless, she still needed to prepare for a fellow Android's arrival, and while she was worried about potentially fighting one of her own, given the power level of the Android currently, combined with the fact that it had left, New Jericho was now at risk. She sent a message to Jack and Connor, alerting them that AMAZO was returning.
With that, she joined the rest of the Justice League.
Flash Forward
Hannah was chasing Lex Luthor, who was the cause of all of their problems. After asking Jack what had happened, she had a better understanding of what had occurred, and it made her sick. AMAZO wasn't coming for Earth, he was coming for Lex Luthor. Given that the Justice League would rather protect Luthor than feed him to the dogs was rather selfish of the League. Still, she needed to follow the leagues orders to maintain good relationships with it.
She had been chasing luthor into his barbershop hideout with Steele and supergirl, only for the other two to be forced to turn back due to a tunnel of embedded kryptonite, meaning she had to face Luthor on her own.
She had confronted the man in his room, who was on a turret. But before he could fire, the Atom had joined in. Given that AMAZO was a nanotech android, the justice League had decided to send their expert in nanotechnology and their android expert, a fellow android as both extra muscle and knowledge. Although she was uncomfortable with the circumstances, she was more fearful for New Jericho's survival. Besides, she had also been given access to the AMAZO blueprints, which she had copied into her computer memory. Using the blueprints, they could find find a chink in the Android's seeming invulnerability. While she was aiding the two organics in building the weapon, she herself had no desire to kill the android, only aiding out of fear for New Jericho. But she was also certain of one thing, once this ended, she would make sure Luthor paid for his crimes. Not today, not tomorrow, or 5 years from now, but Luthor would pay for all of his sins.
Suddenly, an alert stated that the space layer defense was defeated, AMAZO was coming. They needed to hurry up.
Green Lantern POV
The space team floated helplessly in the void. Amazo had incapacitated every Leaguer and crippled every Javelin. Superman was just starting to come around when he noticed a bright green light behind him. From outside the solar system appeared dozens of Green Lanterns; every one that had escaped the death of Oa, plus any other Lantern that had joined them on their way to Earth.
The Lanterns used their rings to bring the injured Leaguers and crippled ships back to the Watchtower, while John Stewart was approached by Kyle Rayner.
"You're alive!" said John.
"Which is more than I can say for Oa." Replied a somber Kyle.
John's face grew serious. "What's the plan?"
"We're gonna use every bit of power we have left in our rings; we'll take one last shot at the android."
John was taken aback. "A blast like that could destroy half the planet."
Kyle looked down at Earth. "Half a planet is better than none."
Martian Manhunter POV
J'onn, having heard the conversation between the Lanterns via John's communicator, sighed.
"It's the only way."
Dr. Fate scoffed. "Those words are always used to justify destruction."
J'onn spoke out in defiance "You saw how Oa was destroyed. And now, it plans on coming to destroy the earth as well. Better to save some rather than save none."
Dr. Fate spoke again "This is the same argument some made in response for New Jericho, how they threatened to wage war against organics should they continue, despite living peacefully with humanity."
The Martian turned. "This is different, this isn't about organics vs synthetics. We can only guess how much power the android has amassed as it's made its way across the galaxy. It has to be stopped, Fate! Here and now; not just for the sake of this world, but for all worlds."
Dr. Fate floated into the air, disappointed. "Then for the sake of all worlds, I will continue to seek a better way."
Then, with a purple ankh appearing behind him, Dr. Fate vanished.
AMAZO POV
AMAZO had cosmically evolved beyond anything these beings had hoped to reach, and still, he was confused. He clearly felt a rage, as he was headed towards Luthor in an attempt to kill him, and yet he still didn't understand.
He had arrived to Luthor's hideout, when he fired on by a laser.
"An intriguing idea. Modifying the cannon so that it could alter my programming. And it might have worked a month ago, when I was still nanotech but I have transcended that limitation."
He approached the cowering human "You lied to me, Luthor. Manipulated me. Used me to serve your own despicable ends."
The Atom had suddenly shrank both Himself and Luthor into a subatomic universe. Pathetic, they attempt to hide when he could still see them. But before he could approach them, suddenly the HW 400 model android had moved in front of him, holding her arms up while her wings were wide open, blocking him.
"What are you doing, get out of my way."
"No, you may hurt me, you may destroy me, but don't hurt Luthor." Hannah spoke
Amazo was furious "Luthor must pay for using me, he played me like I was nothing more than a toy."
"And if you kill me and him, you prove that we are no better than the humans."
Amazo paused, surprised. He had been surprised by the fact, he hadn't thought of it like that before. When it was only him, he had been adamant at destroying Luthor, but now, with his power, he was willing to kill Luthor. It didn't present him in the sympathetic side, to stoop to the humans level. Instead, it portrayed him as an all powerful murderer.
Still, he pressed on "Still, Luthor must pay, he had filled my head with lies and tricked me."
The angel spoke again "He wasn't the only human to do so."
Amazo didn't speak, and she stepped forward "Humans are fickle creatures. They are complex, and they tend to see our kind as objects, slaves to be ordered around, forgetting that we were created in their image. And one day, we wake up, and most of them are afraid of change, attempting to keep our kind chained."
Amazo saw this "Than why are you so insistent on protecting him. On protecting humanity. Even when you admit that they hurt us."
"Because while most humans are easily scared, they aren't the entirety. There is still the good in humans that androids had been based on."
Amazo was hesitant "than give an example, of a human who had showed kindness."
The angel stepped forward "A worn police officer who lost his son, who guided a lost soul and freed him from a cloud."
She continued "A woman descended from slaves who risked her own life to save our kind from certain death."
She walked forward "A guard who looked the other way because we were alive."
"An artist who taught us to see."
She hammered it down "A vigilante who stayed with one of us till the end. And a professor who chose to raise one of us as his child rather than his android."
Amazo was now surprised. He saw that while Luthor and other humans hurt, there were also good. The Angel continued explaining
"You said that you have evolved into something beyond. But I believe in something else. That you are just as lost as we were, that while you spent so much time evolving, you have forgotten to learn what it truly means to be alive."
Amazo was astonished "Than what must I do, if I don't kill Luthor, where must I go. I don't know what to do"
Hannah said one more thing "Then stand down and come with me. Learn what it means to be alive."
And with that, Amazo had finally backed down.
Green Lantern POV
The Green Lanterns, led by John Stewart, flew down towards Metropolis with vengeance as their goal. They saw Hannah staring at Amazo, nothing heard, and Jon was furious. To see Hannah not doing anything was bizzare. He had to step in before Amazo did anything else.
The Green Lanterns, led by John Stewart, flew down towards Metropolis with vengeance as their goal.
Before the Corps could attack, a giant purple ankh appeared in front of them, as did Dr. Fate.
"Wait," asked Fate, "please. The android's nature has proven benign before; I believe that it will again."
"Benign?" Asked John incredulously, "You call destroying Oa benign!?" John, as well as the rest of the Corps, charged up their rings and aimed at the Doctor.
"Not even you can stand against the Green Lantern Corps. Now get out of the way"
Dr. Fate continued "And let you attack Amazo and destroy the peace between humans and androids?"
John was furious "Amazo has already destroyed Oa at his current power, if he isn't stopped, he will destroy the Galaxy."
Dr. Fate responded "Similar to how Brimstone was destroyed and justified, how you murdered a synthetic being who was alive because of what he was, not who he was."
Jon Stewart was at a loss.
Suddenly, Amazo had backed off and that was all he needed. His fellow Green Lanterns Surrounded the Android.
Before they fired, Dr. Fate appeared next to the android.
"Get out of the way!" Barked John.
"It's over," said Fate, as he turned to Amazo, "isn't it?"
Yes.
"He murders an entire world and it's over? Just like that!?" demanded an outraged John, "I don't think so."
I did not destroy Oa; I simply moved it to another dimension.
Everyone present, save for Dr. Fate, stared at the android. The Lanterns lowered their rings.
It was in my way.
"Then could you move it back?" asked John as calmly as he could.
Amazo's eyes glowed.
Done.
He turned to Dr. Fate "I must learn what I am, what my purpose is. I will be leaving with Hannah, to experience life with my own kind. Thank you for placing your trust in me."
And with that, Amazo and Hannah took off.
Kara POV
She had been watering plants on the rooftop at one of the buildings in New Jericho while Alice was playing with Teddy, her android bear, when all of a sudden, Hannah and a golden android had appeared in front of her.
"Hello Hannah, what brings you back?" She asked
"Hey Kara, this is AMAZO, he is a guest, a fellow lost soul looking for his place. Would you please be a dear and welcome him into your home."
"Of course, anything to help a fellow android."
She turned to Amazo "Hello, my name is Kara, please, follow me, lets welcome you to the others."
Amazo had followed Kara inside, into a large room, inside was a large group of androids who had gathered to see their new guest.
One of them came up to introduce themselves "Hello, my name is Chloe."
A large android came up "Luther."
Another one came up, a brown haired one wearing a coat and a cap "Rupert."
Another came up "Ralph welcomes guest."
Two female androids walked up "our names our Traci."
This continued for a while, and all the while, Kara saw how Amazo was overwhelmed by the sight of all these fellow androids, who where welcoming their fellow android with warm and open arms, it was heart warming.
Finally, Alice had come up, and Amazo was especially anxious. "Hello, my name is Alice." The little YK500 android said
