It had been another couple of weeks before the team got another lead on one of the entities and they should have known that this would be the place to find it. What better way to corrupt the body then at a sex club. They wanted to do this subtly so they were only going to take Clark, Lois, Kara, and Oliver. They would all be in their civilian clothes so that they fit in when they enter the club.
Once the team was there, they found the owner in the middle of the crowd talking to some people. He knew exactly when they had arrived and he looked up and smiled at them before exiting the room on the other side. Clark and Lois followed him, while Oliver and Kara split up and took other routes so that they didn't allow the owner to get away from any other direction. They all cornered the man in one of the back rooms, but he didn't look scared. As a matter of fact he was smiling at them.
"Do you really think that by stopping me, you will end the threat of Darkseid's Apocalypse?" Desaad asked.
"Maybe not, but it is a start." Clark said as all of the heroes got closer to the man.
The entity then exited the man's body and then went after Oliver since he was the only one in the room that was not pure of heart right now. Kara stepped in front of him and used her bracelet to block the entity from entering Oliver. The entity went back inside of Desaad and he smiled again.
"I guess you had something that could stop me from escaping. Oh well, there is no stopping what is coming." Desaad said as Clark walked up to him with the bottle that they had been using to capture the entities and opened it and Desaad's entity entered the bottle.
"Well, that is done. Now I guess all we can do is wait and see what Desaad was talking about when he said Darkseid's Apocalypse." Oliver said and all of the heroes looked at each other grimmly knowing that the worst was probably yet to come.
. . .
Once they returned to Oliver's apartment, they had Chloe look up anything that she could about what could be coming. She wasn't able to come up with anything, but they all knew that what the entity had told them about would be nothing good. They all knew that they would have to keep looking for anything out of the ordinary so that they would be ready for what was coming.
"I wish he had given you more information. There is nothing anywhere about Darkseid's Apocalypse." Chloe said.
"Well, keep looking when you have the chance. Hopefully you will find something before whatever this is happens." Lois said and Chloe nodded, getting back to work.
About ten minutes later, Chloe found something that might have worked on the darkness. "I might have something here. There is an old legend that there is a bow that is used to summon the light. It is said that if has repelled the darkness before. Maybe it could help this time as well." Chloe said.
"Where do we find it?" Kara asked.
"It is somewhere in Europe. I will give you the coordinates." Chloe said as she wrote them down and gave them to Kara.
"I will go with you. I am the one who knows how to use a bow after all." Oliver said and Kara nodded as she picked Oliver up and flew away so that they could get there and back quickly.
"Well, I guess we just sit here and wait then." Lois said as the other three sat down and waited for the other two to return with the bow.
. . .
About an hour later Oliver and Kara were back with the bow. It took a little longer than they expected because of all of the traps that were in the cave, but they finally got it.
"What took you so long?" Lois asked.
"There were traps all over that place. It took a while to get past all of them." Oliver said.
"That makes sense. So, that is what is supposed to help us stop Darkseid?" Clark asked and Oliver nodded.
"It doesn't look so special to me." Lois said as she came closer and gave the bow a closer look.
Oliver pulled the string back and an arrow appeared out of nowhere, made of light. The others were now impressed.
"Ok, I change my previous statement. That is really cool." Lois said and the other couldn't help but laugh.
Oliver went and put the bow in his locker and then came back to meet with the team. They talked about what they needed to do to get ready for Darkseid's arrival so that they would know the plan and not have to come up with something on the fly.
"So, we know that Oliver has what we need to bring down Darkseid. What do the rest of us do?" Kara asked.
"We distract Darkseid so that Oliver can get a good shot at him. We don't know how many shots we will get at this. Oliver might only get one shot, so we will have to make sure that it counts." Clark said.
"And how do you plan on keeping him distracted?" Lois asked.
"We will just have to attack him from all different directions until Oliver has the perfect shot. I think we can do that with our powers." Clark said and the two women nodded in agreement.
"I just wish we knew what was coming. I hate going into something like this blind." Lois said.
"I don't like it either, but what other choice do we have?" Clark said.
"Well, I think it is time that we stop worrying about this and go on with living our lives until the time is right. We don't need to burn ourselves out trying to solve this, when we really have no chance of doing so." Oliver said and the other nodded, knowing that he was right.
"Ok. Let's call it a night. We will get back together soon if we find something that needs all of our attention. Otherwise, just do like Oliver said and live your life like you normally would." Clark said and then all of the heroes left and went home for the night.
