The Themysciran Embassy-One Week Later
Diana sat with her head in her hands looking down to the newspaper on her desk, she didn't know what to think but one things for sure, this was giving her a headache. A month ago, the vote in the senate to open Themyscira to the outside world passed. Despite Kal-El leaving so abruptly he did help many of the Amazons understand that men can be honorable as well as noble, true that it was not just Kal-El that led the others to believe but the other members of the Justice League as well, such as Batman, Flash, J'onn. All of which came to Themyscira's aid when they were asked. The final part in the senate was the testimony of both Diana and Donna who couldn't stop talking about how brave, selfless and kind men could be.
Thus, Queen Hippolyta informed Diana that they were going to open themselves to the outside world. Not to the extent that she would have the magical barriers around the island taken down but enough that she arranged a meeting with the president, had a press conference and started an organized trade route. Not directly to the island but to the Watch tower with the league and then down to the island.
Now that the island was open they needed an embassy but you can't have an embassy without an ambassador and there was only one person who could do the job.
So, Diana sat in her office at the embassy, tired from a long hard day's work. Not a long day of fighting criminals or helping after a crisis but a long day of boring meetings and annoying politicians wanting more from Themyscira.
Even after all of that, it wasn't the mean source for her discomfort. It was the headline of the daily planet newspaper KAL-EL. FRIEND OR FOE? It dropped on her desk this morning by her secretary Juila Kapatelis. After reading the whole article at least three times she didn't know what to think, Kal-El completely slaughtered those men but he saved a lot of woman from a grim fate including the reporter who wrote the story. Lois Lane, daughter to General Sam Lane, one of the main hunters of Kal-El. Diana assumed that he would be grateful that Kal-El saved his daughter.
As for the league, Batman was now on a war path doing everything he could to find Kal-El. Everyone in the league agreed that they needed to find him but it seemed Diana was the only one to notice that nothing has changed, they still had no idea where he is or how to find him. Despite Lane, Waller, Lex and the league all working together, they had nothing. No leads, no ideas of where to find him. Nothing.
The league thought they had something when they detected large energy readings coming from the artic but when they went to see what it was they couldn't find anything. In all honestly, Diana was worried for Kal-El. Not just for his safety but the safety of everyone else. It was a group of slave traders working for a corrupt politician and Diana certainly wasn't going to miss them but what's next? Bank robbers? Common muggers?
In fact, it wasn't just that he killed those monsters but he was in London, he was traveling the world. Of course, Batman thought he was doing it to learn humanities weaknesses so he could destroy them. More of the leaguers disagreed with him, saying that he just wanted to explore the world he was living on and she had no idea how the rest of the people were reacting to the news of Kal-El's work in London.
She honestly thought that the public didn't even care that Kal-El was the most wanted man in America when they were first told of him because the government never said why he was wanted. After all they couldn't say he was a wanted alien because that would send the public into a panic. At least now they have some information on him, what they thought of it was up to them.
Deciding that she there was nothing to do she simply turned her chair and turned on the small TV on the wall next to her desk on the wall. Letting her curiosity get the better of her she changed the channel to the BBC News to see what the United Kingdom's topic of discussion is and now that Lois Lane's story was realized Kal-El was all they could talk about "as the identity of the mysterious Meta-Human who saved the innocent woman that where soon to be victims of one of the worst kind of crimes has been identified as Kal-El" the anchor was a middle aged brunette that was rather attractive "Which leads a lot of people to wonder yet again, why he is wanted in the first place as the United States government hasn't released any evidence or reasoning as to why he is a wanted man" The anchor said causing Diana to sigh.
"thankfully, I brave woman who was there that night has stepped forward to give us her perspective on what happened" the anchor continued, causing Diana's eyebrows to raise. There was no camera's in the area so the only details about what happened came from Lois's article. Though her face turned to one of sadness as she saw a pretty blonde woman enter the camera frame, what made her so sad was that despite the nice clean clothes and small amount of makeup she was wearing, she still looked so scared and vulnerable. It was so familiar "Sharon, I want to thank you for coming here today" she said as calmly as possible as she reached out and gently touched Sharon's arm but she quickly flinched as her hand reached her skin.
Sharon sighed "I'm sorry, I... sorry" Sharon apologized.
"It's alright Sharon, remember you don't have to do this. There's no shame in waiting a couple more days"
"no, I want to get this out" Sharon protested.
The Anchor nodded calmly "well, whenever you're ready"
Diana turned the volume up so she wouldn't miss anything "I err... I think I was in there for a day maybe, give or take. It was so dark and cold. The smell was the worst thing I've ever smelt, it was just waste, are waste. But then the door opened and two more women was thrown in by those... monsters. I asked who they were and they said they were reporters. They spoke amongst themselves for a couple of seconds before we heard someone scream outside, then there was a loud bang. Like something smashed against the side of the container, very hard" Diana listened very carefully knowing full well that Bruce was no doubt listening to it as well "I don't remember what he said but he shouted it before he screamed in pain. Then there was silence, it was defining. It was so quiet we could hear footsteps coming closer and closer. None of us could help but slowly walk backwards... we were just so scared"
"when the door opened, I was expecting to find another one of those men. But, it was just one guy. He didn't carry any weapons but I could have sworn his eyes where glowing red. Then he left, I think that reporter, Lois went out after him. A couple of seconds after we all started to step out as well. Which I do regret doing because as soon as I did, I turned my head to the left and I saw him standing over one of the guards that looked like he was coughing up blood. He just stood over him and brought his foot down on the man's head. Some of the other girls and myself couldn't help but scream as we saw his head... just turn into paste. He turned and said something to miss Lane than he left, by jumping away. Really, really, really faraway"
"I want to thank you for doing this Sharon, we all really appreciate you doing this"
Diana turned the volume down on the T.V not wanting to hear anymore. As much as she hated to admit it, she needed to find Kal-El and stop him. She can't let him just walk around killing people. If she wasn't sure before, then she was sure now that everyone in the league would be working hard to find him.
She turned in her chair and looked out the window "Where are you?" She mumbled to herself as she crossed her arms.
Injustice League HQ
Lex Luthor stood at the podium as he spoke to the rest of the Injustice League, which at the moment consisted of Black Manta, Captain Cold, Cheetah, Giganta, Gorilla Grodd, Black Adam, Bane, Solomon Grundy and Metallo. In short, the Justice League's worst and most powerful enemies. They all smiled at the news that the plan to take down the League was ready.
"now the target is the metropolis bank" Lex started "we're not going there for the money but to make it clear the police can't take us down. The ones hitting the bank will be Cold, Grodd, Grundy and Metallo. You four will cause a lot of commotion, enough to draw out the league. And when they come, everyone else will be on standby and ready to strike when they come. When they're down, I will have all the pull I need with the president to bring the rest of the League down" he finished.
Everyone smiled at the plan, they couldn't wait "and when is this supposed to happen?" Giganta asked.
Lex smiled as he looked at his watch "tonight" he answered.
The Fortress of Solitude
Kal stood calmly with his hands behind his back in the front of the elevator's glass window as it went down towards the sanctuary. He couldn't help but smirk as the elevator entered the sanctuary. In front of him he could see a full mile of land covered by a red light split up into four sections. A wood and grassland area, an icy winter area, a section that was nothing but water with some platforms on top and finally a section with large thin rock spier's that reached all the way to the top almost hitting the artificial clouds.
"RRRROOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRR" he heard as a large reptile like creature twice the size of a horse with large wings roar as it flew past the window and down to the ground.
A H'Raka Kal said to himself as the elevator stopped and the door opened. The doors opened and the H'Raka was standing right outside the door. Kal couldn't help but grunt as he rested his hands on his knees and bent forward slightly. As much as he loved coming down here, the feeling that he received when he stepped inside was troubling because every time he did go in there, he felt his abilities leave him due to the red light in the ceiling on the sanctuary take them away.
Kal regained his composure and stood back up, turning around he smiled as he saw the H'Raka standing outside. He slowly walked towards it showing some coition and stopped moving a few feet in front of it. He lifted his hand out and waited. He smiled as the H'Raka slowly walked towards him, visibly sniffing the air around Kal. The H'Raka stopped in front of Kal and barred his teeth. He took a step forward and reached out placing his hand on its head as the H'Raka sounded like it was purring at the touch.
Kal would have liked to bring Jack, Clara, Samantha, Marcus, Jacob, Luke and Jacob. But after he left the dock he froze, he looked down at his hands and saw blood, bone and guts. It made him realize that he was just as dangerous as the people who tried to hurt Jack no more than the night before. He decided that he would wait until he felt that he was more in control when danger was around.
After Kal had finished in the sanctuary he went to the workshop to try and keep himself busy. But he couldn't help but reflect on what he did at the docks. The only thing he could do is ask himself, one question. Why? Not why did he stop it, but why was so brutal. He couldn't help himself, he went in there with the goal of being calm and measured like he always was when he fought. It was rare that he wasn't in control of his emotions when he fought. When he charged into that dock and he saw those weapons being aimed at him he just snapped. It was as if he didn't see humans but Scar soldiers, the Scar soldiers that he hates more than anything. If he wanted to follow his father's wishes, he needed to let go of his hatred for the Scar otherwise. He was never going to give humanity hope, something they really needed.
How could he do that? Fighting the Scar is all he's ever known, how could he possibly let it go? He hoped what he was working on now might, make it easier. He knew that it wouldn't happen overnight but he needed to find a way to start.
"master, something is happening that you might like to see" Kelex said as his holographic image appeared next to him.
"what is it Kelex?" Kal asked as he took a step back from the work bench.
Kelex didn't answer but he opened a holographic screen that showed the news. Kal frowned as he took a step towards the screen and he grew concerned with what he saw. The news had a headline that said League in trouble! He could see a brutal battle taking place between members of the Justice League and a group of Meta-humans. It was not going well for the League, the only Leaguers he could see fighting where Diana, Batman, Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg.
He could see that Diana was fighting both a woman that looked like she was a hybrid of a human and a cheetah and a large gorilla. She was losing that fight and it looked like the rest of the League members weren't doing any better.
"they need help" Kal said out loud as he turned and headed to the armory.
"master, are you sure that is wise?" Kelex said as his holographic image followed him through the halls of the fortress.
"no Kelex" Kal said as he opened the armory doors and walked inside "it's not wise at all" he walked over to a large glass tube that held his newly built flight suit "but if I've learnt anything about humanity, it's that the Justice League is a good and needed force of power. They're a force of good in this world, I can't let them die" he finished.
The Watch Tower- one hour earlier
Bruce sat at one of the free computers trying to find out anything he could about Kal-El. This morning when he was having breakfast Alfred placed the newspaper on his table, seeing the headline caused him to spit the coffee out of his mouth and all of the paper itself. Heading straight down to the Batcave Bruce did everything he could to learn whatever he could. He even went down to Metropolises and interrogated Lois Lane. Well, when he says interrogated, he means he means he tried to get her to talk but every time he asked her a question she asked one back.
It really bugged Bruce that he couldn't intimidate her, she was just a reporter but no matter what he did. It's like she knew he was never going to actually hurt her, honestly, he thinks that she was just so excited that The Batman came to talk to her. So, he gave the idea that he could use her and left.
Now he sat at the computer because he heard a report that a group of gang members where attacked by someone who matched the description that the woman who were saved by Kal-El. According to the only man who was still conscious after the attack. One of them was in surgery for his leg, one for a back injury, two where unconscious and the other was being treated for hyperthermia after being pulled from the river.
After listening to what he said when he was interrogated, Bruce was now on the hunt for Jack. The homeless man that gang was after, if what he said was right and Kal said he was Jacks friend it would be the best lead for Bruce to follow. But it was proven to be difficult considering he was homless "what's all this?" He heard a voice say behind him.
He turned and saw Zatanna walking towards him with her usual sexy swaying of hips "it's a lead" Bruce said coldly.
"You're still looking for him, aren't you?" She said crossing her arms.
"your surprised?" he asked surprised, of course he was still looking.
Zatanna sighed and placed her hands on her hips "look Bruce, I get why you want him but surely you know that he had the right to do what he did" she pointed out.
He turned to face her giving her his best Bat scowl "excuse me" he said standing up to look at her.
"oh, come one Bruce. We had no right to take his ship, of course he's going to be pissed. Even you can admit it wasn't up to us to give that ship away"
"Zee, the guardians have proven to be good, wise and powerful beings. If they think Kal-El's ship is better off with them, we are not in a position to refuse them"
"Bullshit" Zatanna spat at him "the guardians don't have the right to just take whatever they want. The least they could have done was ask"
"and how do you think that would have gone?" Bruce asked sarcastically.
Zatanna took a step closer now right in his face "it would have gone fairly" she finished before turning and walking out the room.
Bruce sat back down on the chair and sighed. As much as he hated to admit it, he hated it when he fought with the other leaguers. Especially Zatanna, he's known her for most of her life, he always tried to be there for her. He wasn't looking for Kal-El to please the guardians, he was looking for him because of what he can do. The way Kal-El dealt with the league so quickly. Not one person has been able to do that. Not even Darkseid defeated them that fast. If he became a villain he might be the greatest threat to the earth ever.
He didn't get a chance to look for Jack in great detail as the alarm sounded and the lights turned red "alert, Captain Cold, Grodd, Grundy and Metallo are hitting the Metropolis bank. All available leaguers respond" Cyborg said over the com.
Metropolis- current time
Every time Diana dodged and attack from Cheetah she failed to do it as Grodd was invading her mind slowing her down. She was barley holding her own against her nemesis. She had cuts from Cheetah's claws all over her body, she was doing everything she could but she also knew that if she didn't get help soon this was not going to end well for her and she could tell she wasn't going to get from how the rest of the league was fairing.
The main doors to the fortress opened and Kal stepped out of the doors in his newly modified armor with The Blade of El on his back holstered in the gap of his cape behind his neck. (N:A The new armor Kal is wearing is the armor superman wore in the Injustice 2 game. I thought that I could take a paragraph to badly explain what the amour looks like or I could just tell you. If you've never played the game, just go on google images really quick and have a look)
Batman was on his last pair of legs as he fended off Bane and Grundy, he could take them one on one but together they were doing damage. He knew that he should have taken the time to find out where Legion was hiding after they all escaped prison but Kal-El arrived and he as well as the rest of the league became preoccupied with him. He shouldn't have let his worry about Kal-El distract him.
Kal calmly walked across the frozen land of the artic. While the sun had just set in Metropolis, it was on the edge of the horizon in the artic, during the summer the sun would always be shinning in the artic, even at night.
Stopping in the snow he turned his head and saw his home a mile away in the distance, taking one more step backwards he passed through the fortress stealth field and it vanished from view. Turning back around he faced the direction Metropolis was. Looking down he opened his hands and used his news to zoom in on his skin cells, he could see past his cells and saw the very atoms holding them together harden and grow in power as the sunlight shined on his.
When he ran tests on himself one of the things he discovered was that the longer he stayed in a place where he could absorb yellow solar radiation, his cells would continue to grow stronger. Theoretically his power was limitless but that was just a theory.
Looking up into the air he bent his legs and shot up into the sky, heading straight for Metropolis.
Black Manta's blades and Aquaman trident locked on each other "you can't fight forever, sooner or later my father's death will be avenged" Manta swore as he fired his helmets heat beams at Arthur.
"then get ready to wait because it's going to be later" he spat back pointing his trident right at Manta.
"don't count on it" a loud voice said behind him. He turned around only to find a large foot flatten him. Giganta smiled as she lifted her foot and saw the bruised and bloodied body lying unconscious.
The ice under Kal's feet cracked and smashed under the force of his landing. The left-over rocks and chunks of snow lifted off the ground as Kal used his power to push himself upwards.
As Kal flew through the air passed the clouds, he didn't know what he did but it was as if he pushed himself again while he had nothing to push off against. Kal's eyes widened as he left himself continue to go upwards "HAHAHA!" Kal laughed as the smile on his face grew as he climbed the atmosphere. Though as his body began shake the smile on his face faded as he slowed down and briefly stopping in the air before he began to full through the air heading straight for the ground.
As he neared the ground Kal lifted his hands to protect his head as he slammed straight into a mountain top going right through it and hitting the ground on the other side of hit like he was a comet.
Flash circle's around Captain cold as he tried to fire his cold gun at him. Barry was running out of both time and options, he could slow down to try and help the others because he knew as soon as he left cold alone he would turn his weapon on the civilians and news crews that where gathered around the area being held back by the police "why are doing this Snort?" Barry said as he ran around him "you're a thief, you don't belong with these killers"
"sorry pal" cold said under his breath as he took out an ice grenade from his belt "but I don't have a choice" he finished before he threw it at the nearby police and news crews. He knew that he wouldn't be able to hit Barry but he needed him to stand still.
Barry's eyes widened as he saw the grenade head towards the daily planet news crew. Running straight for it he got there just in time to grab it before he hit the ground and through it up into the air, exploding a safe distance away from the people.
Before Barry could return to the fight he was shocked with a powerful bolt of lightning form behind him and he was thrown several feet forward before falling the ground unconscious.
Kal climbed out of the creator he had created when he collided with the ground. He slowly picked himself up as the rocks from the smashed mountain top fell down the mountain wall towards the ground.
Sighing he took a step forward and looked back to see the damage he had caused. How long has that mountain been there? A thousand years? A million? And now, half of it is gone. Just like that and he didn't even have a scratch on him. Turning around he looked at the sun as he saw in just over the horizon. He closed his eyes as he let the solar energy fill his body giving him strength. It was time to see if he could find his limits.
He bent down on one knee he closed his fist and placed it flat on the ground. Summoning all the power he could muster. Small rock and snow fragments lift off the ground as the ground itself began to shake. Opening his eye's and lifting his head up, he let go of the pull gravity had on him and pushed upwards into the sky as hard as he could. Once he left himself began to fall he pushed himself the same way he did before. The smile on his face grew as he changed direction and now flew straight through the clouds right towards Metropolis. Even if this was a about to be the worst battle of his live, he couldn't help but keep that smile on his face. His always loved flying, that's why he chose to have specialized training in piloting. Now he doesn't even need ship to do it.
Cyborg frowned as the beam from his blaster collided with the one Metallo fired from his chest. He always hated Metallo, the government should have just let him die. Now he's a monster with some meteor rock as a power source "how many times are we gonna play this game Corben" Cyborg spat as he fired his shoulder rockets right at him.
Metallo tanked the rockets and Cyborgs beam hitting him full force "until the best robot wins" he smiled as he charged readying his fist for another attack.
Cyborg frowned as he charged at Metallo himself "I'm not a robot!" He shouted as he dodged Metallo's fist and connected his own with his jaw. Metallo fell to the ground and Victor jumped on top of him. With the blind rage that came with the insult of being called a robot, he hated that. While he repeatedly punched Metallo in the face, he failed to notice that the rest of the league needed his help.
As he pulled his fist back to punch him again a large hand grabbed him before he could "AAAAAHHHHHH!" He screamed in pain as the fist tightened around him.
"hello, little man" Giganta smiled as he looked a Cyborg trying to fight his way out of her grip "say good night" she said before she turned her fist upside down and slammed him into the ground head first.
Losing her grip around him he dangled him by his foot in the air. She chuckled as she dropped him on the ground landing right next to where the bodies of Flash and aquaman.
Before Giganta could head for Wonder Woman and take her time bringing her down, the body of Batman landed right next to them. Bane cracked his knuckles as Batman shakily stood back up and brought up his fists ready.
Bruce could see his vision was fading but he could see the unconscious bodies of his teammates behind him, all of the villains walk around to stand in front of him with smiles on their faces and he could see Diana struggling to keep up with Cheetah and Grodd. He stumbled as he stood ready to fight "I have often wondered what would break first Bat" Bane said as he stepped forward towards Bruce "your spirit" he grabbed Bruce by the neck and lifted him off the ground "or your body" he finished as he punched Bruce in the face forcing him to fall backwards next to his friends.
Diana was now struggling to stand up, they've never faced the Injustice League like this before. They're so organized and they know what they're doing "you look a little warn princess" Cheetah teased as she slowly walked forward towards Diana while Grodd smirked and attacked her mind "oh, that's probably because of a little something I dipped my claws in. Just for you" she smiled.
Diana shook her head and striked at Cheetah with her sword but was hit from the side by Black Adams lighting attack. Diana screamed as she fell on all fours. Giganta smirked as she kicked Diana in the face pushing her backwards in front of her teammates.
The public was terrified, they knew that there were more League members but these where the most powerful. They couldn't help but wonder where the others where, off duty? Missing? On another mission? The league members needed help.
Diana gritted her teeth as she lifted herself off the ground and held her stomach to try and stop the blood from spilling out one of her wounds. She lifted her head and she saw the Injustice League members all standing together smiling at her as they stood thirty feet away from her "now Princes" Cheetah smiled as Black Adam, Captain cold Metallo stepped forward "die" she growled as the three injustice league members their cold, lightning and green energy beam at her.
Diana closed her eyes and prepared herself for the end "forgive me my friends" she said quietly to herself.
Kal's eyes narrowed as he flew towards the ground as fast as he could. Taking his sword out of its holster. Kal landed right in front of Diana cracking the ground as he landed and held the blade with both hands, the blue ethereal glow started as Kal held the sword sideways blocking the blast from hitting Diana and absorbing the energy.
The three beams of energy stopped and the Injustice League saw the man who stopped them from Killing Wonder Woman. Cheetah growled as she stepped forward "and who the hell are you?" She hissed.
Kal stepped forward and pointed the sword right at her "I am Kal-El! The last son of Krypton" He shouted right at her. As soon as the words left his mouth every news camera and reporter went crazy, actually trying to get passed the police to ask him questions, not caring that the Injustice League was still standing.
Cheetah's eyes widened as she looked at the man, in front of her. Kal-El, the one man everyone has been looking for "Grundy, play time" she smiled as she looked over to Grundy.
Grundy charged at Kal without even thinking "Grundy smash red and blue man!" He yelled.
Kal slowly walked forward with a cold and emotionless face as Grundy charged but when they reached each other, Grundy brought both his fists up ready to bring them down. As he did Kal sidestepped the attack brought his blade up right at Grundy's neck.
Everyone's eyes widened as Grundy's head rolled across the ground right next to Kal's feet. He placed the sword back in its holster "I am only going to say this once" Kal said as he took a step forward and brought his right foot down on Grundy's head turning it into mush "Leave. Now" he finished as his eyes glowed red.
"I WILL NEVER RETREAT!" Black Adam yelled as he charged towards Kal.
Kal knew he did it again, he was attacked and he saw the Scar. He killed right in front of the entire planet. He thought placing his sword back in its holster would make it harder to kill his enemies, therefor giving him more time to get control of himself.
Adam went to strike Kal but he Kal caught his fist and through him to the side right through a nearby building. He turned to face the other Injustice league members and began to walk towards them "then so be it" he said.
Giganta went in first and brought her foot down to where Kal was standing. Kal flew upwards flying to the fight of her head, tucking his arms and legs into his Kal collided with her chest. That impact alone sent a shock wave that shattered all the glass nearby buildings, it knocked the wind right out of her causing her the stumble backwards a smash into a nearby building. Before she could recover Kal flew behind her head and grabbed it with both hands. Using his strength, he pushed her forward head first into the ground. Her eyes closed she shrank back to her normal size.
Kal landed back on the ground but he was quickly hit with a cold beam, looking to where it was coming from he saw a man with a special type of weapon. His eyes turned red and fired a small beam aimed right at his weapon destroying it.
Bane, Cheetah, Grodd and Metallo had waited long enough. Bane reached him first and was ready but when his fist collided with Kal's every bone in it shattered. He screamed in agony as he fell to his knees holding his hand.
He turned and saw Cheetah pounce at him with all claws extended, Kal leaned backwards and let Cheetah fly past him but when she did Kal grabbed her tail and through her backwards into a nearby police car.
Before Grodd could even try and attack Kal's mind, Kal jumped towards him, spinning as he did and connect his foot to Grodds head, fracturing his skull.
Matallo fired his beam out of his chest as Kal lifted his hand to take the impact but when it did, Kal went flying through the air. Matallo couldn't help but smirk as he saw Kal land on his stomach "HA! he's not so tough" he shouted as he ran forward towards him.
Kal frowned as he got to his knees, he lifted his hand and it looked like he was burnt. Looking back up and he saw Matallo running towards him. Closing his hand to make a fist, Kal stood back up and thought about his options. But his time was running out as Matallo fired another beam but this time, Kal was ready. He dodged the attack and fired his own projectile, the red energy shot out through his eyes hitting Matallo right in the chest destroying his power source.
Matallo stopped moving and his green eyes faded to black but Kal wasn't taking any chances and he dashed forward right towards him and drived both his hands into his gut, lifting Matallo above his head Kal separated his hands apart and in the process ripping Matallo in half.
Turning around not even giving the public a glance as they stirred in wonder and confusion. Kal looked towards the league members and saw Diana on the ground, with her face flat against the concreate. Growing concerned Kal jogged towards her but he was hit with a lightning bolt that sent him flying across the street into a nearby buildings wall. Clutching his chest in pain Kal looked up to see Black Adam standing across the straight looking right at him "did you truly think that I would be stopped so easily" he mocked he fired another bolt at Kal but Kal was quick enough to dodge the attack and charge at Adam.
Grabbing both Adam's hands and holding him in place. Adam acted first and headbutted him. Kal winced slightly at the attack but not enough to stop him, slightly levitating off the ground Kal returned Adam's headbutt tenfold, Adam lost consciousness as his entire body made a small creator in the ground.
Now confided that all the nearby threats have been dealt with, Kal jogged over to Diana. He knelt down beside her and turned her around so he could get a good look at her stomach he saw something black drip out of her wound. Using his X-ray vision, he could see that her blood was changing on a cellular level and was deconstructed, destroyed 'Poison' Kal thought to himself as his eyes widened. Looking at her, he could see that the poison was spreading fast. The league didn't have the tech to save her in time. Looking at the other Leaguers he could see their bodies and their injuries, they would live if they get treatment.
He had the medical equipment to heal her and he was going to use it, he had to, he owed her that at least. Picking her up in his arms bridal style he turned to see J'onn, Green Arrow, Black Canary and Zatanna teleported into the street. All of them battle ready, Kal presumed they thought that he was going to hurt Diana.
"let her go" Zatanna said as she readied herself to cast any spell she would need on order to stop him.
Kal held a calm face as he walked forward towards them. He stopped right in front of J'onn "look at her wound" Kal said. J'onn frowned as he saw the same black liquid coming from the open wound in her stomach "she's been poisoned, her DNA is being taken apart strand by strand. You don't have the treatment to help her but I do. She has five minutes before the treatment I have won't be able to help her" Kal said calmly as he looked into J'onn's eyes.
J'onn turned and looked at the others. He sighed, he could feel Diana's mind slipping away "very well. Save her" J'onn said.
Kal nodded as he started to float up into the air, when Kal was a mile of the ground he headed straight to the fortress at top speed.
Almerac
Queen Maxima sat upon her throne, her head resting in her hand as she slouched not even pretending to be interested in what her general had to tell her about her military strength, she knew that she was safe. Almerac had a very advanced military. Maxima only had one thing on her mind, finding a suitable husband.
"YOUR MAJESTY!" One of the servants shouted as she ran through the large doors of Maxima's throne room "Your majesty, I must speak with your urgently" she said as she stopped right next her general and got on one knee bowing to her.
'finally, something exciting' she thought to herself as she sat up in her chair "well? Don't keep me waiting, what is it?" She asked.
"your majesty, there has been a development on the planet earth"
Maxima's eye brows rose "oh? Has that justice league of theirs's finally been eliminated?" She guessed, figuring it was only a matter of time before that happened.
The servant shook her head "no, your majesty" she said quietly before standing up and taking a step forward towards Maxima's throne "one of or spies on the planet has made a discovery about a new alien resident that we believe to call the planet his new home"
Maxima sighed "and why should this concern me?" She asked leaning forward towards becoming annoyed that she was creating all this commotion for nothing.
The servant took another step forward while looking Maxima right into the eye, while her own eyes where full of fear "because... all of the evidence including his own claims point towards the conclusion, that this alien. Is a living breathing Kryptonian" she explained.
There was a collective gasp from everyone in the room. Even Maxima herself was shocked "that is not possible" she said as she stood up in her chair before walking down towards her.
"forgive me, your majesty" the servant said bowing her head "but all of the evidence confirms it" she continued looking down at Maxima's feet.
"what evidence?" Maxima asked.
The servant took a small device out of her pocket and held it towards her queen. Maxima snatched the device out of her hands becoming annoyed with these accusations. Holding it up in front of her, she activated it and saw a hologram of the events on Metropolis 'by god he is handsome' she thought to herself as she saw Kal rip a robot in two 'oh, what do I have to lose' she thought turning off the device "general, prepare my flagship. I want to be at earth as soon as possible.
"yes, my queen" the general bowed before turning and heading to the royal flagship of Almerac's navy.
New Genisis
"I can't do it!" a little girl wined as she failed yet again to properly tend to a handful of flowers.
The High Father smiled as he knelt down next to the little girl, placing his hand on her shoulder she looked up to him with tears in her eyes "what is the matter my child?" He asked.
The little girl wiped her nose as she stopped sobbing so she could answer "I tried high father, but I can't keep it alive" she said looking towards the flower bed and saw them fall to their sides, dead.
The high father smiled as she picked the girl up in his arms and looked at her closely "my child, the reason these flowers have passed on is because they drowned. I know you want them to live but if you give them too much, substance's will be harmful" he said as the child looked up at him confused, he smiled knowing that he needed explain further "do you remember when you feel unwell if you have to much unhealthy food?" He asked.
"uh hu" she said nodding her head up and down.
"well it's the same for this group of followers, some times. Too much of anything can be dangerous" he informed. He smiled as he rose his staff as his glowed with power "and now that you know that, maybe things can change" he smiled as he pointed his staff at the flowers.
The little girl beamed and her smile widened as she saw the followers grow back to full strength "now remember" he said placing the girl down "moderation" he finished. The girl just looked up at him and nodded with a happy smile.
"FATHER!" He heard a voice say behind him. Turning around he saw Orion running towards him.
"what is it my son?" The High Father asked calmly as Orion reached him.
"father, I have just received word from one of or informants on earth" he said.
The High Father frowned, he had a spy placed there in case they needed help and they were unable to contact them for help "what is it? Has Darkseid attacked the planet?" He guessed.
"no father" Orion shook his head "we have reason to believe there is a living Kryptonian on earth"
The High Father's eyes widened in shock "are you certain?" He asked.
"yes, all the evidence points towards that conclusion"
"does Darkseid know about this?" He asked.
Orion nodded "if we know, the chances are he does to"
High Father nodded grimly "if this is true, he cannot allow Darkseid to influence the Kryptonian. No doubt he will try to sway him to be part of his armies, we must get to him first. Orion, take whatever ship you find necessary for the mission and make sure that the Kryptonian will not join Apocalypse"
"as you wish father" Orion said before turning and flying towards the docks.
Apocalypse
Darkseid sat in his throne menacingly as Steppenwolf, his military general, went over the details of his latest battle with New Genisis, things were going well in this never-ending way. Spread around the throne was Lashina with her arms crossed. As head of the Fury's she had to attend these meetings. Kalibak, being Darkseid's son it was a requirement to be by his father ready to act the second something happened. Desaad, Darkseid's chief torturer and Granny Goodness, she was Darkseid's head trainer and was in charge of 're-education' on Apocalypse.
"my lord, I am confident that with another attack from a legion of parademons, we can take the world from New Gensis's allies" Steppenwolf said.
"excellent work Steppenwolf" Darkseid said but before he could say anything else the large doors to the throne room burst open and Glorious Godfrey ran into the room with a dozen Parademons behind him.
"MY LORD! I must speak with you urgently" he said bowing to his master.
Darkseid didn't say anything but his eyes glowed red and his omega beamed right at him, killing Godfrey instantly "do not interrupted me" he said calmly as he looked at Godfrey's ashes. Turning to one of the Parademons that came in beside him "I hope you know the reason why he interrupted me, or all of you will meet he same fate"
One of the Parademons went forward and got on his knee's "my lord. He's revered information from are spy network that there is a Kryptonian on earth" he explained.
Everyone froze. Lashina's eyes widened and her jaw dropped, Desaad and Granny grind, they couldn't wait for the Kryptonian to come so they could have time alone with him. Even Darksied himself paused at the news, his eyes glowed red and he fired his omega beams and he killed every one of the Parademons "someone bring me that evidence" he ordered everyone in the room "Now!" he growled.
Ten minutes later Steppenwolf came back into the room with a holo projector. He bowed and knelt down in front of Darksied "my lord, I believe this is the evidence Godfrey was talking about" he said playing the device.
Everyone watched in silence as the device played "I am Kal-El, the last son of Krypton" the recording said as everyone watched when they saw Kal attack the Injustice League, and win.
When the recording ended, all eyes turned to face Darksied as he sat in silence for a moment as he pondered his options "Lashina, Kalibak" he started. They both walked towards him and knelt down in front on him "Take a handful of ships and go to earth. Rip that planet apart if you have to, bring me the Kryptonian. Alive" he ordered.
They both smiled at the order "yes father" Kalibak said.
"it would be my pleasure, my lord" Lashina smiled.
Here you go guys.
Just a heads up the next chapter it going to be a Q&A. How it's going to work is you guys have 48 hours to ask as many questions as you want and I will do my best to answer them.
Also, a shout out to 'ravens18' who put forward the idea of having a more bulky and armoured up suit instead of the regular costume.
Looking forward to seeing your questions.
