Chapter 36: Friends and enemies
In an apartment in Metropolis, a man sat in a wheel chair with a mostly empty bottle of whisky in his hand.
He saw on tv a news report of Superman.
He gave a disgusted look as he turned the tv off and rolled around looking at old newspapers praising superman and all his work.
He saw one calling him a god.
He threw the whisky bottle at it.
"He's no god." He said as he rolled himself up to his apartment's window and set his head against it.
Moment's later he heard something drop through his door's maillot.
The man turned his chair around and rolled over before he saw it was a letter from Lexcorp.
Meanwhile, under one of the main bridge over the Metropolis bay the bridge began to creak as it twisted and cracked.
"Oh shit!" A police officer on the bridge shouted as he saw several of the bridge wires snap and several cars crash.
People ran in terror and tried to get off the bridge, but as it fell, the bridge was steadied.
Underneath, Superman began lifting the bridge back up.
"Superman's here!" someone on the bridge shouted as they looked over the edge before one of the bridge cables fell down toward them.
Just before the cable could hit them, something else stopped the wire.
The people looked up and saw a young woman wearing a suit similar to Superman's. However, her suit was green where his was blue, and blue where his was red. Her chest symbol wasn't an S shaped, but an G.
The people were in amazement as they saw the young woman in front of them.
Superman used his heat vision to stabilize the bridge as emergency units evacuated it.
The young woman flew down under the bridge beside Superman.
"What do you see Clark?"
"No real names here Goddess, you never know who's listening. As for the bridge I suspect this to be Luthor's work, probably wanted it destroyed so he could land a contract building for the city. Unfortunately there's no way to prove it."
"Still we saved a lot of people." Suzy said sounding very excited.
"There are still people to save out there. Let's go." Superman said as the two flew off.
Elsewhere as a fire raged inside a building, several firefighters tried to get inside, but he fire was out of control.
"Dam it, there's ten people still inside!" The firefighter captain shouted as Superman and Goddess flew inside.
A man was trapped under a fallen bookcase in his apartment as fire blazed around him.
He felt the bookcase get shoved off him before he saw Goddess over him.
Goddess grabbed him and flew him out of the building.
The ten people were placed in front of the ambulance as the firefighters looked up at Goddess before she joined Superman as they used their Sueprbreath to put out the fire.
"Who is that? Superman's daughter?" Someone asked.
"I don't know."
The two kept flying around helping people where they could.
Eventually they floated over the city.
"That was awesome." Goddess said.
"You did good your first day Goddess. But you've still got plenty of experience to gain."
"I'm available all day every day now. Well except when Billy and I are."
"Do your parents know about you dating a sixteen year old?"
"Well I'm basically an eighteen year old in body and mind. So I don't see a problem with it."
"You're my student Goddess, but it's not my place to get involved in your love life. Nor Marvel's. But it might be better if you share this with them, sooner rather than later."
"Well I'm just excited I finally get to help people, I can't wait to tell my parents about it."
Several minutes later Lois was at her apartment when she heard someone enter.
"That better be who I hope it is." She said before Lois saw Suzy.
Lois came over and hugged her daughter before Suzy lifted her mother into the air.
"I saw you out there sweetie."
"Really, how did you think I did?"
"I think you were a real Goddess."
The man from the apartment was inside an elevator as it made its way to the top floor.
When the elevator door opened he saw two men in suits waiting for him. They rolled his wheelchair over to a large desk.
Sitting at the desk was none other than Lex.
"Mr. Tentrin, a pleasure to finally meet you." Lex said extending his hand.
"Lex Luthor, why did you want me in here?"
"Mr. Tentrin, I like you am not a fan of the Superman. I know what he really is." Lex said as the man gave a spiteful look at the ground.
"I know he took your legs from you, your home, and someone very precious to you."
The man looked very sad.
"Mr. Tentrin what if I told you I could give you your legs back."
"What?"
"Here at Lex Corp, we can do anything. I can give you your legs back."
"My legs." He said.
"I just need something from you though. A job that will need to be done once you have your legs back."
Clark landed behind his house before he entered it.
"Diana I'm back." He said before he heard Krypto run over to him.
He petted the super wolf before he saw Diana in the kitchen.
"How was Suzy's first day as Goddess?"
"She did good her first day. She still has more experience to gain, but I think she'll get the hang go it like she was born to it."
"I'm glad that she is doing good beside you Clark. The league had a reasonably successful day."
"How were Marvel, Lantern, Arrow, and Cyborg?"
"All were doing fine, Marvel couldn't stop bragging up his new girlfriend."
"I don't know if it amazes me or concerns me that people their age had god like powers."
Diana laughed a little as she came over to him.
"You know we had those powers when we were their age."
"I suppose. Though technically Suzy's only four years old."
"I will agree that despite all I once knew, this is an eventful world we live in Clark."
"Sometimes I feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders."
"Well with people like Marvel, Suzy, some that weight is off our shoulders."
"You have a point there Diana."
Diana put her hand on Clark's shoulders as she rubbed it.
"You feel like taking a fly with the children?"
"That does sound nice." Clark said.
Several minutes later the two were flying high above the ground with Hippolyta in Clark' s arms and Connor in Diana's arms.
Seeing the world from that height and the wind in their face was always a good relaxing time for the two.
"I can hardly wait for the day our own children can do what we do."
"You want them to be like us?" Clark asked.
"Don't you?"
"I don't know Diana, whenever I go back to Metropolis whether it's for work or Superman, I get reminded of the hardships that come with this life." Clark said as he looked down at his daughter.
"I can sometimes wonder if they would be better off living just a normal life Diana."
"Clark I've known you for long enough to know you don't just want a normal life."
"I don't, I have these powers, and I know I can help people with them. If our children want that life, we can prepare them for it. But if they don't, we shouldn't force it on them."
"I suppose that would be the fair thing for us to do, I just hope they chose to be warriors. I would quite disappointed not passing on my warrior legacy to our daughter and son." Diana said.
Elsewhere in Lex Corp labs, Luthor was in front of Tentrin as he was strapped to a chair.
"What was his name?"
"Tom."
"Ahh, well I want you to think of Tom as this is happening. Think of him." Lex said before he turned and grinned.
He walked into a protected viewing chamber as the remaining men wore hazmat suits.
Tentrin saw as a large glass containment tube came around him.
Luthor's head scientist was beside him.
"What news on this new Kryptonian flying with Superman?"
"According to our our sources we don't believe she is a Kryptonian, but the girl who touched the red Kryptonite."
"How interesting. Superman must have found her and taken her under his wing. Hopefully our new operative can deal with the problem."
"We're ready to begin." The head scientist said as a massive dome of lead came around the glass dome and the men inside the room left.
Several containers with red kryptonite inside.
Several small reactors also rose up as Tentrin looked around.
"Activating red kryptonite." The head scientist said as the red Kryptonite glowed and Tentrin began to grunt in pain from the radiation.
They heard Tentrin scream in pain even through all the glass and walls.
"Sir, I'm not sure he'll survive this."
"He'll survive, and if he doesn't it won't cost us anything."
Tentrin kept screaming as the levels reached their necessity.
"Sir we're ready to activate the nuclear reactors."
"Do it."
The small reactors activated as their radiation mixed with the radiation of the red Kryptonite.
Tentrin kept screaming until he remembered Tom, he grit his teeth and endured.
He then began to scream again as his hair fell off his head, then all the hair came off his body.
Then all of the skin melted off his body.
Luthor and his head scientist watched in horror as they saw Tentrin's muscles change and turned more red as well as their texture change.
Soon his muscles were all red and texture was more hardened.
The red Kryptonite stopped glowing as an alarm went off.
"What's going on?" Lex asked.
"It's the reactors sir." The head scientist said as he got on the terminals.
"They're overloading?"
"No, they've been suckled dry."
"Sucked dry?"
"It's Mr. Tentrin, he's gone nuclear."
Tentrin kept screaming as he ripped out of his restraints and stepped onto the floor.
He was breathing deeply as he looked at himself and saw he was standing on his feet.
"Is it radioactive in there?"
"No sir, Mr, Tentrin sucked it all up."
After hearing no, Luthor walked in alone.
He lowered the shields and walked up.
"Mr. Tentrin, you're looking go." He stared before Tentrin's eyes glowed red and he picked Lex up by his neck.
Several security guards ran in pointing their guns at Tentrin.
"What the hell did you do to me!?"
"Mr. Tentrin, I did what I promised, I gave you your legs back."
Tentrin dropped Lex as he tried to catch his breath.
"I'm a fucking freak!?"
"It was necessary Mr. Tentrin, besides I'm offering you more than just a chance to walk."
"What?"
"Mr. Tentrin like you, I would like to see Superman gone from this world. Not only have I given you the ability to walk, I've given you the tools to kill him."
Tentrin tightened his fists as he looked at himself again.
Clark awoke with Diana cuddled up beside him and her head on his chest.
Clark saw it was only six o three so he laid his head back down and rubbed the back of Diana's head.
He then heard something in their room.
He looked up and saw it was his league communicator.
"Clark you get it this time."
Clark got up and walked over to the communicator.
"Hello."
"Clark it's Bruce."
"What is it?"
"I need your help with something."
"Alright why me specifically?"
"Because I've been tracking someone , someone like you and Diana. He's powerful, and I'd rather approach him with caution."
"Alright where and when?"
"Israel, 1000 hours."
Clark closed it as he turned to Diana.
"Bruce needs our help today"
"With what?"
"Apparently he's found someone powerful, and says he's like us."
"Alright, who's babysitting? Billy?"
"No he said he's not available today."
"Well he's the only one on the league who's willing. Who else could handle super babies?"
"How about my mom? I'm sure she wouldn't mind."
"That could work."
Elsewhere in Metropolis, Suzy woke up in her parent's apartment.
She stretched as she put a T-shirt on and walked out to see her mother and father in the kitchen.
"Morning, mom, dad."
"Morning Goddess." Lois said.
"Please, could we just call our daughter by her name." Steve said.
"Come on Steve, she's saving a lot of people."
"Lois I'm not in love with our daughter risking her life every day."
"Come on dad, what can hurt me now?" Suzy asked.
"Superman was killed, even if he came back we saw him die."
"I promised him I would never go up against someone like that alone."
"Suzy." Steven said as he came over.
"I just don't want you to end up like him."
"Well he's alive now, and married, with children."
""Sigh" Can you get through to her?" Steven asked.
"I'm proud of her Steven, you should be too."
"I am proud of her saving lives but, uhhh why couldn't I have had a few more years with my sweet little girl."
"I'm still your sweet little girl dad." Suzy said as he looked at him.
Steve hugged her.
"Just promise me you'll keep yourself above ground."
"Yes dad."
"Alright , I've got to get back to base." He said as he kissed Suzy on the cheek and finished putting on his service dress tie.
"I'll see you both in four days." He said before he kissed Lois and left.
"So what's your plan for today?"
"My tudors are on their way."
"How long until they have you through the high school level?"
"The end of the month."
"I'll see you when we get home." Lois said.
Suzy put on some cloths before she heard a knock on the door.
She opened it before she felt a pair of arms wrap around her and was kissed.
"Good to see you too Billy." She said before kissing him back.
"Ok enough." Victor said as he walked in.
"Sorry Vic." Billy said.
"Alright Goddess." Victor said as he took out a pair of large goggles that plugged into his suit.
"Let's get you started on algebra II."
In Israel, Superman and Wonder Woman landed at an Israeli military outpost.
The Israeli soldiers watched in amazement as the two walked past them.
"We're looking for Batman." Superman said.
"He's not here." They heard from a familiar voice.
They turned to see The Ace of Spades in his commando form with the Israeli soldiers saluting him as he came by.
"You know Batman, he doesn't show his face much to the common people. But he told me he was coming, and since I was already here I thought I'd help."
"Where is he?" Wonder Woman asked.
"Lieutenant, I'll be leaving." The Ace of Spades said as one of the Israeli officers saluted him.
The ace got on a military ATV and drove across the desert with Superman and Wonder Woman above him.
They came to a ridge overlooking a small village just beyond the Israel border.
On the ridge was none other than Batman.
He saw the three approach him.
"You're late."
"I'm never late." The Ace said as he parked his vehicle.
"Where is this being you were talking about?" Wonder Woman asked.
Batman walked over to the ridge as the others came behind him.
"I've been tracking this one for a long time, things that didn't add up. My suspicions were confirmed a week ago when this village was attacked by a group of insurgents from Bialya, one of my satellites picked it up. The Israeli's tried to stop them, but by the time they arrived all of the insurgents were dead."
"The villagers fought them off?" Wonder Woman asked.
"Not a single weapon in the village, and not one dead villager. Some of the dead insurgents had snapped necks, some were torn apart, others apparently shot each other."
"Shot each other?" Superman asked.
"The case matches similar ones over the years I've tracked. Whoever this man is, he's been alive for a very long time, and can put on different faces."
"He sounds a lot like you Ace." Wonder Woman said.
"I don't put on different faces. Just different uniforms. Besides I may be old, but in terms of geologic time I'm very young" The Ace said.
"How old are you exactly?" Superman asked.
"I was born a Roman."
"That's vague, Roman civilization lasted over a thousand years." Wonder Woman said.
"Clark I was hoping you could identify anyone who wasn't exactly human."
"Let me see if I can." Superman said as he came up and used his X-ray vision.
"Well, I found not one, but two people here who aren't like the others."
"Two?" Batman said.
Inside a small house, a dark skinned man was working on a chair when he heard someone enter.
"I told you Ali, the chair would be ready by." He started before he realized it wasn't who he thought it was.
The man turned to see The Ace of Spades enter.
"What business does the American military have here?"
"I'm not here on behalf of the American military." The Ace said as the man turned to see Batman who appeared in the room.
The Ace was followed by Superman and Wonder Woman.
"You're members of the Justice League. Why are you here?"
"We're here for you John Jones." Batman said.
"Why? I've done nothing wrong."
"No, but you're like my friend here. You're not as you appear." Batman said.
"I am a human." The man said with his eyes glowing red.
Batman and Wonder Woman felt something pressing against their minds, something influencing their minds.
"Maybe, he's just an ordinary." Wonder Woman started.
"That won't work on us." Superman said as the man looked more intensely at Superman and the Ace.
"My mind is protected by someone far more powerful than you." The Ace said.
"Stop hiding and show us your true form."
The man's skin color began to change as well as the shape of his head.
His eyes glowed completely red and he was bigger than he was before. He wore a blue cape with black armor around his body that had a red x in the chest.
"Well you're either not human, or you're quite the metahuman." The Ace said.
"My name is J'onn J'onzz, I am not of earth."
"Uncle J'onn." They heard as a young woman with light skin, red hair, and reddish eyes.
She saw the Justice league members and J'onn.
Back in metropolis, Suzy was still in her parent's apartment finishing up her lesson from Cyborg.
"Alright give me the derivative of three x squared." Victor said.
"Six x." Suzy said.
"Alright we're making our way through calculus." Victor said.
"How much more?" Suzy asked.
"Hey you're lucky you've got this at all Suzy, most kids would dream of being done with school by the end of the month."
"Well it's still not as good as being zapped with the Wisdom of Solomon or having all the information in the world in my head."
"At least you've got a head that's not half metal." Victor said.
"Hey you guys feel like taking break, maybe listen to some music." Billy said.
"Well maybe a break would do you some good." Victor said as Billy turned on the radio.
"Now tuning in with Livewire."
"Oh God not Leslie Willis." Suzy said.
"Who's that?" Victor asked.
"This bitch DJ who always talks bad about Superman, and recently Suzy." Billy said.
"What?" Victor said.
"So now Superman has a new little helper, she calls herself Goddess, talk about narcissism and I thought the name superman was stupid. I mean where'd she come from, is she another alien freak like Superman?"
Suzy gave a very annoyed look as Billy tried to change the channel.
"Do you think they do other things besides fight crime those two, you think he uses her for se" Suzy smashed the radio into small pieces.
"Wow, that was just unpleasant." Victor said.
"Ignore her Suzy, she knows jack." Billy said.
Meanwhile in Metropolis , Leslie Willis left her recording room when the owner of the studio was waiting for her.
"Boss what do you want?"
"Ms. Willis, I'm afraid I have some bad news, the studio is going through some changes and I'm afraid you're job has been terminated."
"What?"
"I'm sorry, but I thought I'd tell you in person.
"You're firing me because I talk bad about Superman?"
"Of course not. Just some changes to the."
"I'm allowed to express my opinion that freak and his little."
"That freak and his little helper saved my daughter yesterday. Now please see yourself out."
Leslie walked away knocking several things down on her way out.
She made her way to the rooftop where she took out a pack of cigarettes.
"Fucking Superman, fucking Goddess." She said as she tossed her cigarette off the roof.
Elsewhere on another rooftop, Lex was standing with Mr. Tentrin and five large generators around them.
"Why aren't I going after Superman?"
"Mr. Tentrin, you need to understand your new abilities before you fight Superman."
"Fine." He said as he grunted and flexed his arms bending down as he thrusted his chest up and forward, screaming as bursts of electricity flew from the generators into Tentrin.
Lex smiled as he saw Tentrin glow blue before he thrusted his fist forward and a massive blast of electricity flew through the air.
The electricity flew through the air and towards a building.
Leslie heard something and turned to see a massive blast of blue electricity hit the antenna on top of the building before she was blasted.
Leslie screamed as she was knocked off the building and fell towards the ground below.
Back in the middle east, J'onn was staring down the four members of the Justice league before him.
"So what exactly are you?" Wonder Woman asked.
"M'gann, show them."
The girl took a deep breath as she transformed into a creature even bigger than the green creature. The one seemed less humanoid and more monster like with large arms and jaw with sharp fangs, with white skin.
"This is M'gann, we are the last survivors of the planet Mars."
"Mars?" Batman said.
"Our kinds once thrived on the surface, green and white martians, but there was an apocalypse, we were the only survivors of each of our kind." J'onn said as he and the white Martian gave very hard and painful looks.
Superman and Wonder Woman understood their pain.
Superman approached J'onn as Wonder Woman came over to M'gann.
"We understand your pain, I'm the last survivor of my world Krypton."
"And I am the last of my people, the Amazons."
Both Martians looked at them with interest.
"You, you are?" M'gann said through her mind.
"We know how hard it is, how alone you must feel, but we've discovered that even we weren't truly alone." Superman said.
"We've been on this earth for many years, we've put on many faces. But we've always been alone." J'onn said.
"You don't have to be alone, as someone who's lived a 'very' long time I can tell you the time I've spent in the league with others like me has been more fulfilling than centuries millenniums before."
"You've helped people before too, like the people in this village." Batman said.
"We can do more than change our appearance, we are strong, we can vanish, we van phase through objects, we can manipulate objects, we can fly, and we can affect others' minds." J'onn said.
"You hide because you're afraid if people see you for what you are, you'll be outcasts, freaks. I once had the same fear, but if you show them what kind of person you are."
"You want me in your team."
"We wanted to know more about who you were, I'm convinced you aren't a threat. If you want a spot in the league that's up to you."
"Uncle J'onn I think you should do it. You've always taken pride in protection those who couldn't protect themselves. There are a lot of innocents in this world who could use your help."
J'onn took a deep breath as he turned back to them.
"What of my niece? She's the only one I have left."
"You decide, if she has the same abilities as you perhaps she could help you. But we won't be recruiting her into the league if you don't want her to." The Ace said.
J'onn turned to M'gann.
"You will help me, but not in this league."
The white Martian began to change into the human form she was before, only with green skin.
"I might scare less people if I look like this."
Back in metropolis, Leslie was stumbling around town as she saw people look terrified when they saw her.
She came to a window and looked at herself in the mirror.
Her hair had been turned blue and her skin turned chalk white.
She gave a freaked out look as she stumbled backwards.
"What the fuck happened to me." She shouted before she noticed a lightbulb near her flickering.
She looked closer before the lightbulb burst and electricity surged into her.
Her eyes widened as she unleashed a much larger blast of electricity from her hand and blew apart several windows.
Several people ran in fear as Leslie's expression changed.
"Cool."
Suzy handed the goggles back to Victor as he and Billy got ready to leave.
"I can't wait to see you again baby." Billy said.
"Don't forget there's a lot of people who need Captain Marvel too."
Billy came forward and kissed Suzy before he and Victor left.
Suzy turned back to the inside of her apartment before walking over to the window.
She stopped when she heard something with her advanced hearing.
"Help!"
She realized this was her chance to help someone without Clark, like he said she could.
She put on her uniform in a flash before fling out into the city.
Suzy flew into the air over the streets.
Suzy kept flying until she saw a series of electrical bursts.
Suzy looked closer and saw a blue woman unleashing electricity out of her hands.
"Who is that?"
She flew down and in front of the woman who looked up at her with interest.
"Who are you?" Goddess asked.
The woman smiled as she saw Goddess in front of her.
"Well it's Superman's little bitch."
"Ok I'm his student, not his, why am even explaining this to you. Who the hell are you?"
"You can call me, Livewire."
"Livewire? Leslie Willis?"
"You and your fuck buddy ruined my life, now I'm gonna ruin yours."
"We're not a couple!" Goddess started to shout before Livewire unleashed a blast of electricity that hit and knocked Goddess back across the street.
She grunted as she got up.
"Wow, that stung." She said as she saw several police officers come up firing at Livewire.
The bullets seemed to pass through her harmlessly as she blasted the policemen with electricity, hurling them back.
Goddess flew at Livewire and tried to punch her, however, she flew right through her coming out the other side.
"Huh?" Goddess said as she saw Livewire turn around smiling.
"Awesome" Livewire said as she punched Goddess filling with her electricity before Goddess tried to punch her again only to have her fists go through her.
Livewire unleashed a blast of electricity into Goddess and was hurled back.
"Fighting is so much funner when the other person can't fight back." Livewire said before Goddess flew off.
Livewire smirked as she flew into a generator on a building.
She flew out of an outlet on a balcony before she crashed into Goddess and knocked her onto the ground.
She kicked Goddess before blasting her with more electricity.
"Wow, you're not so tough after all." Livewire said as Goddess got up.
"Ok think, think use your brain. Ok remember Victor's chemistry lesson's, you can't hit her because her body is clearly made of electricity , which is moving too fast for me too touch, but if I slowed down her molecules I can hit her. I can slow them down with, COLD!"
As Livewire came up to Goddess with her hands sparking Goddess opened her mouth and unleashed Superbreath into Livewire.
"Ahhh!" Livewire screamed as the cold hit her.
Goddess got up and walked over to Livewire and grabbed her.
"Now let me tell you what I think of your little radio show." Goddess said as she smashed her fist into Livewire, hurling her across the street.
When Goddess flew over to her, she saw Livewire was unconscious.
Several people came around her giving her thanks or applauding.
On top of Lex Corps towers, Lex and Tentrin were watching the action from above.
"Let me destroy her, kill who Superman cares for."
"No, he'll likely be here soon. Trust me, I'm only restraining you for your own good."
"Very well, I wish to learn more about my new abilities."
"I do as well."
"Mr. Luthor." Another man said as they turned to him.
"You just received a very strange message."
"What message."
Livewire woke up inside a blue cell she tried to get out , but she couldn't.
In front of her was Superman, Goddess, The Flash, Kid Flash, Cisco, and Caitlin.
"Hey! Hey let me out!" She shouted as she tried to blast her way out.
"Thought maybe you'd like another Metahuman for your collection." Goddess said.
"Livewire huh, not what I would have come up with but it fits." Cisco said.
"You did well Suzy, you used brains and brawn, I'm proud of you."
"Thanks Clark."
The Flash sent Livewire's cell away.
"Always good to see you Clark. By the way Wally, how's Artemis enjoying her trips to Central city, I forgot to ask."
"She's having a good time, she says Oliver's a much better teacher than her dad was."
"So we really have a Martian in the League now?" Barry asked.
"Oh yeah, a Martian Manhunter, boom!" Cisco said before he noticed something out of the corner of his eye.
"What?" He said as he came over and looked at a cell before he dropped the sucker he had.
"Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh Shit!"
"Cisco what's wrong?" The Flash asked.
Cisco shook.
"It's Zoom, he's gone.'
The Flash sped over and saw the empty cell.
"Oh no no no no no."
In a secluded location Zoom sped inside as he looked around.
"Who released me, who summoned me here?" Zoom said.
He saw several others were in the area.
There was a woman who had cheetah fur and features on her body, A very large white gorilla, A man in a lab coat, a very large alien creature wearing armor similar to Green Lantern's only red, a man wearing a black armored suit, with white dome like parts on his gauntlets, A woman with skull paint on her face and silver hair, and a man wearing black armor and a helmet with glowing red visors.
"Who are you people, and why shouldn't I kill you all?"
"Ohhh is that a joke?" He heard as he saw a man with white skin and green hair wearing a purple suit come out.
"Cause it's not very funny."
Zoom sped over and grabbed the Joker before acid shot out of a flower on his suit making Zoom speed back.
"Now that's funny, ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
The ceiling burst open as Zoom and the others turned to see a very large man with buzz cut black hair, pointed ears, a black suit similar to Captain Marvel's and a black cape on his back.
"Who dares summon Black Adam!?"
"I'd like to know that myself." Another man said as he walked in.
They turned to see Lex Luthor come in with Tentrin beside him.
Lex approached Adam and stared him down.
"You're in my way."
"I'm in your way!" Adam started as he brought his fist back.
When he hurled it forward, Tentrin grabbed the fist and held Adam in place as he struggled.
Tentrin gave an intense look as he twisted Adam's arm against it's joint and made him cry out in pain as he fell to his knees.
"Mr. Luthor doesn't appreciate threats." Tentrin said as he threw Black Adam to the side.
"Thank you Mr. Tentrin, now if someone would be kind enough to tell me who summoned us all here?"
"That would be me." Another very intelligent sounding voice said.
They all turned to see a large man wearing a black trench coat with a maroon undershirt. He had very long hair, tanned skin, a full beard and goatee with three large claw marks across his face.
"Who are you?" Lex asked.
"I'm a very old man, who has seen the world change for a long time. However, some of the recent changes have made things difficult for me, and difficult for all of you. We all have our foes, but unlike us, they have found strength in numbers. If we did the same, what could we accomplish."
"Form our own league." Lex said as the others gave interested looks.
"Ohhh an Injustice league, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
