Note: We're back with New Justice! I moved this segment up and put Karry Universe on a break because New Justice takes place completely in 2019, while Karry is very firmly in 2020 and we need all our worlds on the same timeline for a big event New Justice will have a big role in.
With the Leaders Away
-A Long Time Ago-
Lillian Luthor sighed as she entered a bunker. After her son had died, she tried everything to keep the business alive, but the proof he killed the Kents and tried to kill the new hero, Superman, was too much. The Luthor name was ruined; the company bankrupted because Lex stretched the money. Lillian had no one.
"I'll avenge you somehow," Lillian spoke, as if talking to Lex. This was the last thing they had. It was under their names and Lillian had just found it – entering the bunker, she'd found an advanced lab.
"Oh Lex," Lillian said looking around. "This is perfect."
She pushed a button and was surprised when a large tube turned around, revealing within a man who looked like Superman. He was young though, and seemed to be asleep.
"Bizzaro?" Lillian read off a computer. "A clone of Superman but with opposite powers. Lex you copied him." Lillian smiled, wondering why Lex did not use this against the man and then noticed a note. This Superman couldn't be speed-grown, he had to mature. He would not be useful for years to come.
"I'll need a lot more than this to get my revenge," Lillian said. "This is the long game." Lillian began typing into the computer, looking for Lex's research.
"I will need to get money. But I will have my revenge," she muttered to herself, smirking.
-New Justice/Present Day-
Kara walked into the buffet hall, using the bond to find Rae sitting at a table, eating.
"Does this mean you've got your sea legs?" Kara asked, sitting down next to her wife and grabbing a piece of bread. The couple were on a cruise for their honeymoon – heading to Alaska to see the Northern Lights, but Rae had gotten seasick as soon as the boat left port.
"Seasick or not, I can't go long without eating. If I am throwing this up in an hour, we will know," Rae said, and Kara bent over and kissed her.
"I still don't understand why you agreed to a cruise when you get seasick," Kara said. She and Rae had planned this together after all.
"I didn't know. I've never been on a cruise before," Rae admitted. "Should have guessed though, since I get car sick and sick on planes."
"When were you on a plane?" Kara questioned.
"Vacation when I was younger," Rae said with a head shake.
"Well, next time we go away we'll find a nice hotel and use other means to get there," Kara whispered, and Rae gave a smirk. "So, have we gotten an S.O.S yet?"
"I think our children in the League are growing up and can deal without us for a few days. Besides, Sara might be pregnant, but she can lead from Watchtower if necessary," Rae whispered, looking around but no one was paying attention to the two. "I'm more concerned about not being there when the kitchen is being remodeled."
"Lois got that handled," Kara said. Rae had her dream kitchen drawn up like Kara suggested and they were getting it redone while they were away. It was literally a dream kitchen too, given it was taken from her time in the speed force.
"Yeah about Lois, you know I love her and Ellen and Jason and Timeos, but…" Rae started.
"They are moving back to Metropolis when we get home," Kara said, knowing where this was going. "Lois doesn't want to get in the way of newlyweds. As for Timeos, I don't know where he will go. I think with Lois, not with us, he will spend less time at the Sanctuary."
"So, we have a good vacation away," Rae said, taking a sip of her soda as the boat rocked gently; Rae took hold of the table and Kara put an arm around her. "Okay, I'm good." Rae mumbled after a moment as Kara chuckled.
-New Justice-
Chris frowned as he looked at the wreck of a kitchen. There were some workers inside along with some worker robots to make the construction of Rae's new kitchen go faster.
"Lois, what am I supposed to do for food?" Chris asked.
"There is an entire restaurant on-property that serves, lunch and dinner, that you don't have to pay for, since your mother is the owner," Lois commented and Chris frowned but that was what Kara was to him to the public and sort of realty – his mother. Kara had raised him since he was created, after all. "Or you can go into the town and get something?"
"I miss home cooking. Especially Rae's," Chris pouted. The redesign had started before the wedding, so it had been a while since he had a home-cooked meal.
"The kitchen will be ready soon and then I am sure when Rae gets back she will be in there non-stop," Lois said. "I mean the oven she chose and… yeah this going to be a professional kitchen." The room was even getting an extension, to accommodate the extra room needed. "I am getting Jason and Ellen set up."
"Got it," Chris said with a wave. He looked towards the dogs, but Krypto and Misty were snuggled together and Clarky was eating his own food, which was set up in the living room. Better to leave them as he left the house and went to the gift store in the sanctuary.
He took some jam and pretzels that they sold and held them up to the girl behind the counter. "Taking." The girl, who knew Chris, gave a nod as she helped some other early morning customers. Chris opened the jam and starting dunking the pretzels into it.
"Not as good as Rae's," Chris commented as he continued to walk, that was when he saw two somewhat familiar faces – a man who looked like an older Mon, who must have been Mik, and the girl Blackfire.
"No, what would they be doing here?" Chris wondered, unsure, so followed.
-New Justice-
Laurel had just been on the Island, being dubbed 'The Kryptonian Island' – the grand opening was soon and Laurel had been checking out the operation of the two rides that were opening with the park, making sure the animals were settling in good. She'd also been checking out the building they dubbed a Kryptonian memorial. It had all the symbols of the noble families and a hologram to explain more of the family, including notable members – even the House of El was there, with some edits to protect Kara's identity.
Laurel now walked into Watchtower and saw the group in-fighting with each other and sighed.
"If we had gone with my plan, we could have caught them," Tommy was saying.
"Oh, your plan would have failed as well," Donna spoke. The two got along much better than when Tommy had first joined, since Donna was good with the males, but they still had some, what Laurel could only describe as, sibling rivalry. Other members of the League were also arguing.
Laurel gave out a loud whistle, which stopped everything.
"What is going on here?" She asked stunned at the fighting. She had never seen this before.
"We had a couple minor fights with the Injustice Alliance," Tommy stated. "They split up into smaller groups. It's hard to predict where they are going to hit."
"And when two alerts get sent up, it's hard to decide who goes where," Winn added.
"And Kilgore is making us and Red Tornado useless," Adam said. "Our outfits have too much tech and Red is tech. He must avoid Kilgore…. maybe we should get Nora…"
"Adam, Nora was given a chance by Rae, but she's not in the Justice League. At least not yet. She has to prove herself," Laurel said immediately.
"But this could –" Adam started, but Laurel held out a hand to shut him up.
"So, with Rae and Kara not here to lead us, we descend into fighting?" Laurel now asked the room, getting it – all of them had different ideas on how to handle what, and without Rae to decide all of them believed they were right. At least Rae was a trusted leader who could take all the ideas presented and decide for herself what they do. And no one questioned her or said they were right, and she was wrong. If her decision was a bad choice, at least they'd all admit to a mistake.
"We need a leader." Laurel sighed. "Where's Sara?"
With Kara and Rae both gone, Sara as third-in-command, was leader of the Justice League currently.
"No," Tommy said right away. "She's not really in a position to lead with a clear head right now. Trust me on that."
"Well then, we'll have to stop arguing and figure this out ourselves," Laurel sighed. "And remember, Rae and Kara will be disappointed in us if they can't leave us alone for them to take a honeymoon. So, let's come up with some ideas on how to take on the Injustice Alliance. Like maybe something to counteract Kilgore powers, for a start," she nodded Adam at this. "Okay, nerds?"
"Do we really always have to be known as the nerds?" Jess asked.
"Yes," multiple people said at the same time; Jess decided not to argue with that.
-New Justice-
Chris lingered close enough to listen to the two, without his powers, and with the people around it was hard to know what they were saying, but he got the gist; quick to discover he was right with their identities and was smiling as the animals they passed didn't seem to like them.
"What is wrong with these animals?" Blackfire asked Mik.
"They're too smart…" Mik stated to her. Chris realized why they were here – they were trying to steal an animal for the Injustice Alliance! They likely wanted to counteract Krypto and Clarky. They sent their two aliens, hoping the animals would bond to them, but it was not working.
"Time to end this," Chris said taking out his cellphone to call Laurel. The Justice League could come and grab the two while they were away from the rest of the Injustice Alliance. An easy capture that would weaken the alliance.
As the phone rang, he heard an explosion and turned – someone had crashed through the glass dome, a person in a robotic suit and they were followed by two, what looked like half human and half robots.
There was another with the robot-person, someone who looked just like Clark – he even wore a sure suit, almost exactly like what Chris's biological father, in a way, wore – only the S was upside down; able to tell by the diamond. Under the red sun lights, it looked like this guy was as powerless as other Kryptonians under the dome, as he stayed behind the others.
"Supergirl, unless you want all these animals to die you'll come here now!" The robotic suit unveiled the face of the woman in the robot suit. She was clearly in charge.
"Chris?" Laurel answered, the phone at that point.
"…the Sanctuary's under attack," Chris said, as animals and people ran. "Turn on the yellow lights!"
...
Laurel heard Chris and automatically went into her phone and turned on the yellow lights.
"To the sanctuary, now!" Laurel ordered the group. "And remember, if one animal even gets hurt, Rae and Kara will kill us all and rebuild the League from scratch, once more."
Donna was the first through the zap tunnel the nerds opened, followed by Tommy right after her. The rest of the Justice league moved through as well, Laurel going through last to make sure everyone went.
…
As soon as the red lights turned to yellow Chris felt his power return and ran immediately to get his outfit. He was back out in front of the intruders a moment later.
Already the animals had turned from frightened to attacking, distracting the four newcomers as Sanctuary staff lead the public to safety. Dogs were growling, cats hissing, monkeys were chattering angrily and the Natu's were growling. Simba and a few others having left their habitat in the dangerous section and made their way there. Able to tell their home was under attack and wanting to help.
"You're not the first to mistake everything in this place as defenseless, but there is security in place," Chris called, stepping in front of a rabbit who had got hit. He could see the yellow sun was healing the rabbit already.
"Stay away," it was the man who looked like Clark. Coming in front and center and powering up his eyes, but it was different from heat vision; it was white, and Chris realized it was freeze vision! Chris countered with his own heat vision – the two evenly matched for a moment, but the older Kryptonian was getting the better of him. It not helping that the two Cyborgs were firing at him as the woman was now fighting off the animals.
Chris was saved though, when Adam flew up and started firing, distracting the bad guys. Donna came running over with her sword, calling out as the rest of the League showed up – the animals joining too. Dogs went to bite the Clark-lookalike while Beppo lead the monkeys, who were throwing items and freeze breath at the invaders.
Kal, the white horse dubbed Super Horse, came running towards them with Sargent by his side and other horses as well; even Clarky and Krypto were running from the house with Misty not far behind. They all had to be mindful of the Natu though.
Tommy appeared now, tossing out arrows which seemed useless against the attackers, but it didn't stop him, as Laurel was last to show, throwing out her scream.
Chris was thankful for them as the Clark-alike was distracted to protect the woman in the robotic outfit. Chris had almost forgotten Mik and Blackfire but remembered when Blackfire jumped into the air, taking out Donna. Mik too jumped in to throw back Batgirl, who used a device to swing a rope around a tree, so she didn't land on her back.
"Injustice Alliance!" Laurel said, helping Chris, who was exhausted with his use of heat vision up.
"Those two were here for something else." Chris muttered, referencing Mik and Blackfire. "Not sure the other four are with them."
"We've got to ditch," Mik called, looking at the woman in the robotic outfit. "I'd suggest you come with us."
"Lead the way," the woman said as Mik ran. The woman, her two cyborgs, and the Clark-alike giving cover fire along with Blackfire.
"Follow them! Don't let them get away," Laurel ordered, and the League followed; the group leaving through the main entrance with the security knowing better than to try to interfere, knowing they would just get hurt.
When the League got there, they saw a helicopter. It must have been waiting for Mik and Blackfire to leave. They could see Kilgore behind the wheel. The Clark-alike and woman in robot suit were flying next to it along with Blackfire. The two Cyborgs in the helicopter with Mik.
"Atom, Angel, Stopwatch, and Red Tornado, back away," Laurel said, knowing how dangerous this meta was for them. "Wonder Girl, Superboy, can you get them?" They were the only two with them who could fly naturally. Buddy and Tantu, who could summon spirits to fly, weren't here and the Green Lanterns were off world.
"We could take some of the animals and go," Chris said knowing him and Wonder Girl would need help if they chased the helicopter.
"No, too risky," Laurel decided. Taking the animals out of the Snctuary right now was not a good idea. "Let them go." Laurel decided, backing into the sanctuary again. "Are all the animals alright?"
"All but one," Chris said picking up the rabbit. It was healing, but the injuries were bad enough it was going slow. "She needs the yellow sunlight."
"We have to put back on the red lights," Laurel said looking around. The Sanctuary workers, who knew emergency in case a Superman or Supergirl enemy attacked the Sanctuary had gotten themselves and the guests to safety. "Take the rabbit into the real sun. Your responsible for her and getting her back into the dome."
"Got it," Chris said, taking the rabbit, and Donna followed him out, the two flying away as Laurel went to get the red sun light emitters back on. She also had to get the Natus back in their habitat.
-New Justice-
"This is nice," Kara said. She and Rae were relaxing, looking out at the water. Rae smiled and nodded, kissing Rae's cheek. "Worth a little seasickness?"
"Yeah," Rae said as Kara put an arm around her. But Rae suddenly noticed a change in the attitude around them. People were taking out their cellphones and showing them to friends. Whispering. "What's going on?" Rae mumbled. "Hey!" She called to some teenage girl who turned around. "What's going on?"
"The Kryptonian Wildlife Sanctuary was attacked," the girl.
"What?!" Kara said, suddenly jumping from her deckchair. "Who? What? Where? When?"
"Um…" the girl stuttered, seeming startled by Kara's intensity.
"She's the head vet of the Sanctuary," Rae decided to explain to a surprised girl.
"Well, erm, the Justice League plus Superboy stopped it. Seemed to be the Injustice Alliance," the girl stated.
"Thank you," Rae said, and the girl ran off. Rae took out her cellphone and immediately called Laurel, since she was the other owner of the Sanctuary. She put it on speaker.
"So, you get reception on that ship?" Laurel said as she answered.
"Wi-Fi calling," Rae countered. "You're on speaker. Kara is here too. We're on the deck." That was Rae's clue that they weren't private, so no secrets could be told. "What's going on?"
"Injustice Alliance attacked. The Daxamite and Blackfire with four new members," Laurel stated, and Rae raised an eyebrow. "But Superboy and Justice League was on it fast. The yellow sun got turned. Injustice Alliance got away though."
"The animals?" Kara asked fast.
"Some minor injuries. The worst was a rabbit who almost died, but Superboy brought her in the yellow sun with Wonder Girl. They'll return her when she's better," Laurel said. "Minor damage to the dome is already being fixed."
"Okay thanks," Kara said giving a sigh of relief.
"I'll email you with more information when I get it," Laurel said. "Have a nice honeymoon." Laurel hung up and Rae gave Kara a kiss.
"We trained them well," Rae whispered, taking Kara's hand. "Good thing too because if one of those animals had died I would have been pissed." Kara gave a smirk at that. "The Injustice Alliance has gone from a nuisance to an annoyance. They're starting to piss me off."
"They're starting to get expensive too," Kara sighed, wondering what damage had been done to the Sanctuary now.
"We'll get them," Rae nodded firmly now.
"We will," Kara whispered, pissed that they'd dare mess with her animals. "But for now, let's enjoy our honeymoon."
-New Justice-
"So, no dog or cat or… anything?" Killer Frost asked when Mik and Blackfire came in.
"We got them," Mik said, pointing at the four. "She seems to be the only talker."
"That's because these three are completely under my control," the woman in the robotic suit took off the helmet. "Lillian Luthor."
"So how are these in your control?" Killer Frost asked, wondering. The rest of the Injustice Alliance was mulling around, while Catwoman was keeping an ear.
"This is called Bizzaro. He's an opposite-clone of Superman. He only knows what I tell him. I'm his mother in a way," Lillian said with a smile, putting a hand on Bizzaro. "Victoria Stone, she helped me perfect the cybernetic implants – didn't know I intended to use them on her. Then I used the same tech to Make Cyborg Superman here; really Jeremiah Danvers, a heart surgeon from some nowhere town called Midville."
"And what is it you want?" Killer Frost asked.
"Revenge," Lillian Luthor said. "Superman killed my son. I spent so long getting all this ready. To get him, but then he was killed. My only outlet is everything he held dear: Supergirl, Superboy, and the animals."
"We could do that," Malcolm said, stepping in. "The League of Assassins found a way to make a gaseous form of Kryptonite. They seem to have some defense against it, but it does weaken them. Enough you should be able to kill them."
Lillian gave a smirk at this.
"You help us," Killer Frost said. "We help you."
"Deal," Lillian said, not even thinking.
"Now, what happened with getting us a Kryptonian animal to help against theirs?" Killer Frost asked Mik.
"Those animals wanted nothing to do with him," Blackfire said, rolling her eyes to Mik.
"They are all loyal to the House of El," Mik confirmed. "But I have been thinking. There are other animals out there. Kryptonian animals. Breeders and trainers still sell them to this day, and I know of one. I can contact him and tell him how to avoid the Justice League's detection. We would have to buy it. And not American money. Gold, jewels, something of value everywhere."
"Catwoman," Killer Frost said. "Go get something. Take whoever you need. Mik, call him." Mik went to get his communicator.
Catwoman frowned at this, but decided not to say anything. Stepping back she decided what was best to steal.
She was also wondering if she wanted a part of this at all..
