Superman POV
In the skies over Metropolis, a passenger plane was going down; a plane's wing had caught fire due to engine trouble, and it was headed straight for the city. As its wing sheared off, the passengers began to pray; one little girl, however, looked out the window next to her seat to see the prayers answered. Superman was coming to save them!
The Man of Steel used his super-breath to put out the fire, then flew underneath the plane to guide it to the airport. As he did so, he heard his communicator chime.
"Superman," came J'onn's voice, "you are needed."
"I'm in the middle of something," Superman replied, "can it wait?"
"Unfortunately, no; it's the Parasite. Me and Cyborg are holding him off, but this is one of your rogues."
Superman began to lower the plane. "Give me half a minute and I'll be right…" he didn't finish his sentence, as a red blur zipped past him, the wind knocking his cape over his head.
What was that? Superman wondered, as he landed the plane and took off to help his teammates.
He was already in a blur after problems only seemed to stack after each other, with the revelation to the justice league on how little they knew. It had all started with Mandragora's case, a few weeks back.
Flashback
They had watched the screen, all 7 founding members, horrified to see what they found. The video had only been a glimpse into the true cesspits of the underworld, and also showing that they knew nothing.
The video portrayed a crazed man named Vaas, who had been tormenting the kid psychologically, only to shoot him in the head. The worse part was, Vaas had stated that he needed to clean up after these things more often, indicating that this was but one of his many crimes.
The justice league had been involved with the entire deal initially so as to break up Mandragora's criminal empire, and instead, they had scratched the surface of a much larger entity that had grown. One that they all wanted to deal with permanently.
Unfortunately, they had no direct leads to follow, the video was sent using a USB drive, and it had no fingerprints which meant they had no suspect. The only clue that they had found was from the traces of blue blood on the chest noticed by batman, indicating that it was an android.
Hannah POV
Hannah was in the middle of calibrating her own wings, when out of nowhere, she was picked up and thrown against the wall, held by Diana, aka Wonder Woman.
"How can you sleep at night without shame, you coward!"
Hannah's surprise was replaced with anger. "Get out of my face. NOW"
Diana responded, "No, you better have some answers, or I swear by the gods I will tear up you and your kind to pieces"
Hannah yelled "You leave my people out of this, bitch!"
"No, you are involved in this, and now you and your people are going to answer for this crime."
"What crime!"
"You have alot of nerve to-"
"DIANA!" Batman had yelled
Diana had withdrawn, but her knuckles where still tightened in a fist.
Batman turned to Hannah, and spoke "This video was found yesterday, following an investigation on the criminal Mandragora, maybe you can explain this."
Hannah had taken the tablet and watched the video, before turning to them "I don't know who he is."
Diana spewed with rage "How can you not, he has blue blood and goes by the name of Vaas. Unless you plan to tell me this was not an android."
Hannah snapped "I know its an android, but I told you I don't know who it is!"
Diana moved to give her a punch, only for Batman to grab her hand. "If you don't know who it is, can you at least help us figure out who he is?"
Hannah glared, wiping off the dust on her torso, before responding "Unfortunately, I am not in charge of android production, if you want answers, I suggest you start at New Jericho's factory, maybe he can give you answers."
She proceeded to move, only to stop, and without turning, saying to Diana, "And for the record, you could have just asked."
Diana responded "Your mixed up in this some how, Hannah, and you and your kind are going to brought to justice."
Hannah answered "Just because our blood is a different color doesn't mean we are all guilty."
Superman POV
He had already alot on his plate, only to find that upon arrival, the new hero, Captain Marvel, had finished up moping up Parasite, and was now talking tohis fellow leaguers
"Don't be modest, kid," said Metamorpho, "I don't even think Superman could have done a better…" he trailed off as Superman landed next to the group, "hey, we were just talking about you!"
"And you are?" Superman asked, his question directed at Marvel.
"Oh, that's right," said Cyborg, "you were on a space mission when we recruited him, and you never met before now."
"I'm Captain Marvel, sir." Marvel held out his hand to Superman. "And it is a real honor; you're my biggest fan."
"Excuse me?" asked a confused Superman.
"Sorry, um, I'm your biggest fan; it's a little overwhelming meeting you."
"It's a pleasure, Captain," said Superman, though there was no enthusiasm in his voice, "a real pleasure."
With the introductions out of the way, the heroes began to make their way out of the area, but were stopped by a crowd of reporters, Lois Lane among them. All of them began to barrage the Captain with questions, while the others stood back.
Lois spoke first. "Lois Lane, Captain, from The Daily Planet; how does it feel to be part of the Justice League?"
Marvel smiled. "How does it feel? Like I've waited my whole life for this. I mean, being on the same team with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman…" he chuckled for a moment, "I still can't believe they actually let me join." All of the reporters gave a small laugh of their own.
"What is it you value so much about the League?" asked Lois.
"Golly," said Marvel, as if he'd never even considered the question before, "I guess it's all the good they do. Not just helping people—which is great—I mean, that's the reason we're all here in the first place, right? But they really make a difference; they change the world."
"How so?" Lois asked him.
"Well, just look at Lex Luthor." Said Marvel, "He used to be a supervillain, for Pete's sake, and now he's one of the good guys."
Victor had noticed that Superman was clenching his fists, and he had to agree, Luthor may have portrayed himself as a kindly business man and philanthropist, he knew that not everything was clear cut. It only was made worst when when Marvel commented that it was good that Luthor was running for President.
"Let's go," ordered Superman. In a moment, he and the others, minus Captain Marvel, were teleported away.
