PART 2
Kal-El stood in his chamber room in the Watch Tower. The moon base served as the major outpost for the Krypton armies. Granted half the moon was blown up in a League attack, but the new asteroid belt helped as extra protection.
Kal-El walked over to a large window overlooking the transport of troops and weaponry on and off planet. His room was pure metal, the only other thing was a flat, uncomfortable looking bed. Kal-El wore bright white clothes with a stripe of black across his chest. He had a well built body, blue eyes, black hair with a small curl and chiselled good looks behind a warriors visage.
Behind him the door to his room opened, Jor-El walked in. Jor-El was a handsome man with white hair, well built body and piercing eyes. Jor-El's robes were all bright white with a white cape hanging from the back.
"Son," Jor-El started. Kal-El turned around. "I have news. We're going on planet, the time has come."
"The device. Are you sure it will work?" Kal-El asked him.
"I have my top scientists on it." Jor-El stated, "Have faith in me, Kal- El, we will soon rule Earth together."
Kal-El turned out to space again, "We'll see father. . ." He stared off into the glassy marbel that is Earth, "We'll see."

On the Global Government Space Station Bruce Wayne sat bored. Ever since his parents were chosen to evacuate Earth he had been bored. Now, as the Station circled around Pluto, nothing was different.
Bruce had short cut black hair, stubble and green eyes. He wore a black turtle neck and black jeans. Bruce's room was filled with ancient Earth artifacts, maces, spears and axes from Roman and Medieval times.
He stood up and walked out of his room. A few people bustled by him as he walked. He moved to the main office on the Station. Standing there were his parents, Martha and Thomas Wayne, a Global Government representative and Bruce's best friend, Oliver Queen.
"Hey, Bruce!" Oliver exclaimed coming over to him. Ollie had short blonde hair and a goatee. He wore green pants and a black t-shirt.
"Hi. What's going on?" Bruce asked, looking to the others.
"Well, uh, son. . .we were just talking about. . ." Thomas started.
"Gonig back to Earth?" Bruce asked eagerly.
"Bruce," His mom said sympathetically, "You know we can never go back to Earth, it belongs to the Kryptonians now."
The representative stepped up now, "Occupied Earth is our past. Alpha Omega is our future. We finally found an inhabitable planet."
"You two kids being the smartest we have," Thomas added. "We figured you'd head the operation."
Bruce looked to his dad, his mom, the representative and Ollie before storming out. Thomas looked at Oliver, "Yeah, I'll go after him." Ollie said.
Bruce stormed down the hall fuming as Oliver ran up to him, "Bruce! Bruce wait!" Bruce stopped and turned around, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow. Ollie pulled him aside to an empty hallway, "What's your problem, man? We get a new offer on life and you still want to go back to that hellhole we called home?"
"You don't understand, the League could win. Mars, Atlantis and the Amazons have all pitched in to-"
"Look!" Ollie yelled, "Krypton has Earth now. End of story. What are you gonna do anyway? You're just a rich boy."
Bruce contemplated for a second, "The emergency fighter planes are updated right?"
"Yeah, why?" Ollie asked. His eyes then went wide, "No, no, no, no, no Bruce. You are not taking it. You'd probably make it to Venus tops, and if you did make it to Earth how would you get in undetected."
Bruce just smiled and started walking. Oliver sighed and stormed after him. They both entered the almost abandoned docking bay. In a long row many fighter planes were parked. Bruce went over and suited up. He grabbed a black, pleather flight suit with the Glabal Government insignia on it that kind of resembles a bat. Bruce then placed the flight jacket over it and jumped into a fighter.
Oliver jumped up and leaned into the cockpit as Bruce began to start it, "Come on, Bruce, what about Selina?"
"Tell her goodbye. Mom and dad too." Bruce placed the metal helmet on his head, it had two long ears on either side and an angular nose. Bruce pressed a button and the cockpit began to close, "Goodbye, Oliver."
Ollie jumped back as the cockpit sealed shut. He walked backwards as the engines came on and with a final wave Bruce left. Ollie smiled after him, "Good luck, Bruce."
* * *
Lex sat at his desk, looking out at the League movement. His thoughts were on his best agents. Ever since his father, Lionel Luthor, had abandoned him and Earth he had really fought this war as a personal vendetta.
He joined to stop Krypton from gaining another planet. He also felt strong resent for their military leader and Emperor's son, Kal-El. The first time he met him was at a mutual peace meeting with Jor-El. The resentment boiled inside of him, hard to contain. That meeting had failed, of course, and Lex barely made it out alive.
This time though, he was worried for Lois and Clark. The hard-boiled Metropolitan and the strong-armed Kansas farmboy. Sure, they had the EMP guns, which could blow a Kryptonian brain out from a mile away, but could they really make it. Was recruiting new fighters that important?
While Lex was pondering this the door opened. He looked up to see the ageless beauty that was Diana. The Amazonian Queen stood tall, over six feet, had long, flowing, black hair with a stripe of dark grey on the front, blue eyes and a strong, slim body covered in almost see-through white robes.
Lex stood, "Queen Diana."
The Queen nodded and walked in more. Two Amazonian guards stood outside the door, "General Luthor, any word on the battle front?" Diana asked in a strong yet feminine voice.
"Maybe there'd be a word if you leant more troops." A voice came from behind them.
Diana turned to see J'onn standing in the doorway, two Martian guards behind him. Coming up to him was King Orin, with two Atlantean guards behind him, "Are we having a leader's meeting without me?"
Lex walked up to the three and sighed, "Look, we are all doing everything we can, but you have to know that we're only slowing them down at this point. Jor-El is still winning."
"Well we'll have to find a way of winning." Diana stated.
Orin rolled his eyes, "And how do you presume we do that?"
"By fighting." J'onn said.
Lex watched the three leaders. This was going to be a long war.
* * *
Underneath a state a fast locomotive raced through a tunnel carrying four people. They had been travelling for an hour and even with this speed it would still be another hour. Hal sat on the floor of the train, smoking a crudely made cigarette. Barry was leaning against the side of the train looking out. Lois and Clark were recharging their EMP pulse guns.
"So," Hal started as he broke the silence. "You want Barry and I to be your new Covert-Ops agents to replace your missing ones?"
"Basically." Clark said.
"Look, Dinah and Eel were captured, we can safely assume dead, we need you two." Lois told them.
Barry looked to them, "Lady, we have no training."
"You live on Earth don't you?" Lois responded.
Hal stood up, "How did you find us?"
"We were looking for anyone, not just you two." Clark said, "We just happened to find you."
Barry nodded and smiled, "So you guys are?"
"Lois Lane, born and bred in Metropolis, joined the League during the Global Government. This guy here's farm-boy, Clark Kent, born in Smallville, Kansas to a farming couple, moved to Metropolis to join the League. Happy?" Lois said sarcastically.
"Why would we want to be Secret-Ops for you guys?" Barry asked them.
"Because," Clark started, walking up to them. "Free room and board, three squares a day and the opportunity to do something right."
Hal and Barry seemed to think it over profoundly. Hal spoke up, "Alright, we'll do it."
"Yeah," said Barry, smiling. "Anything for a good meal."
PART 3
Kal-El stood at the docking bay in Germany. He had just exited the shuttle which had brought him from the moon to the Earth in less than two hours. He stepped forward, gun holster on his side, and walked up to a Kryptonian officer.
The officer turned to Kal-El and saluted, "Sir, how was the flight."
Kal-El saluted back and shrugged, "Boring."
"Well I'm Jim-Ol, sir, here to serve you." The officer said.
Kal-El looked over the officer. Young, red hair, freckles, looked nervous. He would do, "So, how is the Operation going?"
"Good, sir. I can show you." Jim-Ol leads Kal-El out of the shuttle outpost.
Jim-Ol took Kal-El into the large, floating, tank-looking vehicle. They travelled through Germany, many Kryptonians were building monuments honouring Jor-El and famous battles. Many buildings were being erected, each with a different Kryptonian design. In the middle of a large town square was the Capital Building.
Jim-Ol parked the floating vehicle and jumped out of it, followed by Kal- El. They walked inside the huge structure, it's walls almost glowed with a white colour. In the middle of the circular-shaped building was a huge, dark grey machine. Pieces stuck out of it at odd angles, shining crystals were pointing every which way from it.
Kal-El stood and looked at it, "Excellent."
* * *
Bruce was about to die. He had made it past Venus by conserving fuel, only using the rockets for pushes, but got caught up near the moon. At first his idea was to work through the asteroid field, hide from any radar. Little did he know that the fighter's shields couldn't hold against a million little asteroid chunks.
Now, with his engines gone, no weapons or shielding, Bruce was pretty much dead. He scrambled around, looking for any auxilary power. There was none. He found the eject button and placed his finger on it. He couldn't eject in the middle of an asteroid field, he'd wait until he passed through then hope he survived.
The fighter ship passed through the asteroid field, into Earth's atmosphere and began to plummit to Earth. He knew he was somewhere over the United States. The ship started breaking up, the cockpit cracked, the landing gear crumbled, Bruce needed a way out. As he was almost fifty miles from Earth Bruce ejected.
He began free-falling, head first, towards Utah. The light jacket tattered, leaving it into a sort of ccape with ripped ends. The helmet held up, fastened in place and glass mask covering Bruce's mouth. He pushed a button on his flight belt. The button launched out a parachute, Flying over his head. Bruce was whipped up as the black piece of material caught the window.
He floated down slowly, looking around at the desolate places and destroyed buildings. Bruce was closer and closer to the ground when a small hole opened up in the ground under him. He did a double-take and started struggling, trying to move over more. But he seemed stuck, held in pace by something.
Bruce fell through the hole, falling down a long tunnel into the Earth. Bruce looked up, watching as the opening got smaller and smaller. He ripped an attack knife from the belt, holdong it up and waiting for what comes when he lands. Bruce entered a large room.
As he floated down from the hole the parachute caught and he hung about twelve feet from the ground. Beneath him were about fifteen people looking up at him. Bruce reached up and cut the parachute strings with the knife, making him fall to the ground with a thump.
A man with a long, black, leather trench coat and leather pants walked up to him and leaned in, smiling. "Welcome to Disneyland."
* * *
After being led into a room, Bruce changed from his flight suit, storing it in a locker. Bruce was now led out by three League guards, he now wore a dark grey shirt, black leather vest and leather pants. The guards brought him to a round room over looking the main area, which Bruce saw people removing his parachute from the hole.
Standing in the room were eight people, him and the three guards. Four of the people Bruce recognized. One was the leader of the Justice League, Lex Luthor, another was the queen of the Amazons, Diana, then there were the king of Mars, J'onn J'onzz and the King of Atlantis, Orin.
The other four he didn't know. Lex walked up to him and raised a small device, it beeped quietly. Lex turned it off and looked to the others, "He's Human, no Kryptonian anatomy."
The woman with choppy black hair raised an eyebrow at Bruce and msiled seductively. Bruce grinned. In the corner, J'onn coughed, "Who are you and why were you in the air?"
"Are you a Krypton spy?" A large man in a blue tank top asked.
"What?" Bruce said defensively. "No, I'm Human. I came down from the Global Government Space Station."
The man with brown hair with white around the temples chuckled, "Great! Some rich boy from the G.G.S.S., perfect."
"Wait a minute." Orin said, walking over to Bruce. "How did you get here?"
"I flew in the fighter. I went through the moon's asteroid belt." Bruce answered.
"Impossible," Diana said, in a powrful demeanor. "They own the space."
"You mean you flew here all the way from Pluto?" The man with the trench coat who he had talked to earlier asked.
"That's right." Bruce responded.
"Impressive." The woman said with a smile.
Bruce smiled back. The large guy with the tank top frowned slightly. Lex looked from Bruce, to Hal then to Barry. He smiled and faced the other leaders, "Looks like you've got your new blood."
* * *
Jim-Ol and Kal-El stood to the side as many scientists rushed to work on the large machine. It started glowing brighter and Kal-El smiled, "Is it almost ready?"
"Yes, sir. They say that it should be operational in two cycles." Jim-Ol responded. Kal-El turned and started walking, Jim-Ol followed, "Good, I want to test it on the station orbiting Pluto."
"Yes, sir." Jim-Ol said.
They continued walking until they reached a lab inside. Two people were strapped to tables, one was Dinah Lance, a beautiful yet tough League member. She had short, blonde hair, a scar on her cheek and large lips. Beside her on another table was Eel O'Brien. He had spiky black hair and a broken pair of shades on his face.
Both were wearing close to nothing and had tubes, electrodes and IVs sticking out of them. Kal-El went up to one of the scientists writing down something from a computer screen, "How are the League spies doing?"
The scientist turned, "Well, sir. We have administered the drugs and radiation that we thought necassary. We'll than do a completer mindsweep. They'll be perfect pawns."
"Excellent." Kal-El said to himself.
* * *
Lois, Bruce, Hal, Barry, Clark, Orin, J'onn, Diana and Lex stood in a large, cavernous room. Above their heads were hanging salactites almost touching their heads. Each of them wore their usual clothes, but now they wore bulky vests and had holsters on their side.
Lex looked to everyone, "Ready for training?"
Some of them nodded. Hal, Barry and Bruce looked confused, "Umm. . ." Barry started. "How do these work?"
Lex pulled out his gun. It looked like a normal handgun but had a small laser sight and larger barrel, "This is a Mac67. It fires small darts that render you paralyzed until given a needle. A Human body can only stand three darts safely, so be careful."
"Uh," Bruce raised his hand. "What's with the vests if it's not fatal?"
"The vests attract the darts so that none can penetrate your spine or eyes or. . .other areas." Lex explained. Barry and Hal cringed from the last statement, "Now go to your areas."
They each began to split up in the large, dark room. "Hey!" Lois shouted to Bruce as he began to walk away. He turned around and looked at her. She bent down and grabbed his flight helmet and tossed it to him, "Good luck. . .Batman."
He smiled, "Back at ya." He put the helmet on with a grin.
A loud buzzer went off and everyone moved out. In the darkness of the cave only a few black lights lit the area. Hal walked around a corner, gun drawn up to his face. He turned slowly, aiming the gun outward as he moved. He saw someone's back and pionted it at them. Hal was about to pull the trigger when the person tuned around, it was Barry.
"Hey!" Hal whispered loudly. Barry saw him and walked over. "We should work as a team." Hal said.
"Good idea. Move out." Barry added. They both walked off in different directions.
J'onn walked from his area with stern pride, his gun lowered to his waist. He heard a small voice and went into immaterial. J'onn slid into the cave walls and watched as Lois crept by quietly.
Clark knelt down low, hiding in the shadows of the cave. His laser pointer was off and his eyes were wide open, pulling in all the light he could. His nose itched but he resisted the urge to scratch it, after all, growing up on a farm taught you discipline.
Orin crept along slowly, gun drawn out and held frontwards with both hands. This was not his playing ground, if he was in water they would have all been dropped by now. Orin turned a corner and quickly hid as Diana walked by, gun beside her cheek. This was the perfect chance to strike. Orin stood up and went to shoot Diana when a shot came from the darkness and collapsed her to the floor first.
"Damn!" She yelled as she crumbled.
Orin hid in the shadows more.
Lex walked over to the light and pressed a small button on his forearm. A bulky looking suit covered him, green in colour and made of hard steel. It had a neural tube leading from his brain to it's computer and a dome covering his face. The gun fit out of a small wrist hole. It was his Robotic Intelligence Suit, Rob-In for short. Lex continued on with a smile.
From the darkness Bruce lurked, he had climbed the rock walls and made it onto the salactites. Thanks to the helmet he had been able to soo Diana's heat signature, he could also see Orin's but held out on getting him. He now looked down, he had located the heat signatures of Lois, Clark, J'onn, Hal and Barry also but not Lex's. Bruce continued on to another salactite.
Barry walked down a small passageway. He had to move sideways or wouldn't fit. Barry held the gun in front of him, watching closely through the darkness. Suddenly, from beside him, J'onn materialized from the wall and shot two darts into him. Barry fell with a thud.
"Ah, man. Taken down by the Martian Manhunter." Barry quipped as he lie still, unable to move his body. J'onn bent down, grabbed Barry's gun and moved on.
Lois crept quickly through the cave, circling a spot a few times to make sure she wasn't being followed. She knew where Bruce was, she had put a small tracker from her wristband onto the side of the helmet. She moved through the caverns, following the signal.
Orin walked slowly by his starting point again, this time carrying Diana's gun in his holster. He moved swiftly, with almost no sound. His sensitive, Atlantean ears picked up noise. It seemed to be coming from inside the walls. He knew J'onn could immaterialize so he kept on, hoping to lure him out.
J'onn watched Orin pass, waiting for the right time to jump out. As Orin walked by J'onn materialized from the wall with surprise. Orin turned quickly, firing three shots from the gun in his hand. The first on passed J'onn's chest and went through the air, the other two hit him square in the chest. But not before J'onn let off one shot, which took Orin down with him.
J'onn looked to Orin, "This is great."
Lex continued down a cavern, the bulkiness of Rob-In was deffinitely a problem and it deffinitely wasn't the quietest thing, but it would work. He kept walking, using the suit to scan for life signs. He found someone, knealing in the corner, so he walked up to the spot.
Hal was walking by the cavern walls. He had already passed Barry's joke- making body and continued on. He could hear the faint sound of metal clinking on the floor so he followed it. As he rounded a corner he saw Lex, covered in a robotic suit.
Clark popped out, aiming his gun at Lex, oblivious to Hal. Lex fired a shot, Hal fired a shot. Clark hit the ground and crawled away. Lex's shot missed Hal by an inch, but Hal's shot hit the suit's sensor, causing it to shutdown and sending Lex to the floor, paralyzed.
Hal smiled in victory as Bruce jumped down from the ceiling. He wore his flight helmet and had his gun poking Hal in the chest. Bruce waved to him and smiled, pulling the trigger and sending Hal to the floor.
Lois crept through the cavern's shadows, keeping to the side. She heard at least three shots fired in front of her so she hoped to get the remaining member as they fleed. She walked up slowly and quietly as she saw Hal and Lex lying on the floor. Lois checked them for guns, both had none.
Bruce raced down the cave corridor, two guns in hand and one holstered. He had seen Clark run this way, fast. He was a good tactician for a farmboy, but Bruce was better. He had read everything from The Art of War by Sun Tzu to a lot written by Einstein. He huffed slightly as he ran, "He's like a friggin' Superman." Bruce remarked as he ran.
Clark had managed to hide, letting Bruce run by. As Clark stepped out from the shadows, ready to fire at him. From behind him a clicking noise came. He turned and faced Lois, gun pointed at Clark's chest, "Nighty- night, farmboy." She said and pulled the trigger.
Bruce heard Clark hit the floor and he quickly turned around. His guns were pointed straight out, her gun was pointed straight out. Before he could do anything she had picked Clark's up and made it a fair stand-off.
"So, Brucey, looks like were even." Lois remarked with an almost devilish smile.
Bruce looked her over, and smiled back, "No, we're not."
He threw both his guns at her. She was stunned by this action and recoiled as the guns flew at her. Lois side-stepped and the guns hit the cave wall. As she was doing this Bruce had hit the ground, pulled out the holstered gun and let a shot loose.
The dart hit Lois dead centre, sending her straight to the ground. Bruce got up and walked over to her, leaning down. She had a warm smile on her black lip-sticked lips. Bruce kissed her lightly on the forehead, "Game over."

Behind him the door to his room opened, Jor-El walked in. Jor-El was a handsome man with white hair, well built body and piercing eyes. Jor-El's robes were all bright white with a white cape hanging from the back.
"Son," Jor-El started. Kal-El turned around. "I have news. We're going on planet, the time has come."
"The device. Are you sure it will work?" Kal-El asked him.
"I have my top scientists on it." Jor-El stated, "Have faith in me, Kal- El, we will soon rule Earth together."
Kal-El turned out to space again, "We'll see father. . ." He stared off into the glassy marbel that is Earth, "We'll see."

Bruce fell through the hole, falling down a long tunnel into the Earth. Bruce looked up, watching as the opening got smaller and smaller. He ripped an attack knife from the belt, holdong it up and waiting for what comes when he lands. Bruce entered a large room.
As he floated down from the hole the parachute caught and he hung about twelve feet from the ground. Beneath him were about fifteen people looking up at him. Bruce reached up and cut the parachute strings with the knife, making him fall to the ground with a thump.
A man with a long, black, leather trench coat and leather pants walked up to him and leaned in, smiling. "Welcome to Disneyland."

After being led into a room, Bruce changed from his flight suit, storing it in a locker. Bruce was now led out by three League guards, he now wore a dark grey shirt, black leather vest and leather pants. The guards brought him to a round room over looking the main area, which Bruce saw people removing his parachute from the hole.
Standing in the room were eight people, him and the three guards. Four of the people Bruce recognized. One was the leader of the Justice League, Lex Luthor, another was the queen of the Amazons, Diana, then there were the king of Mars, J'onn J'onzz and the King of Atlantis, Orin.
The other four he didn't know. Lex walked up to him and raised a small device, it beeped quietly. Lex turned it off and looked to the others, "He's Human, no Kryptonian anatomy."
The woman with choppy black hair raised an eyebrow at Bruce and msiled seductively. Bruce grinned. In the corner, J'onn coughed, "Who are you and why were you in the air?"
"Are you a Krypton spy?" A large man in a blue tank top asked.
"What?" Bruce said defensively. "No, I'm Human. I came down from the Global Government Space Station."
The man with brown hair with white around the temples chuckled, "Great! Some rich boy from the G.G.S.S., perfect."
"Wait a minute." Orin said, walking over to Bruce. "How did you get here?"
"I flew in the fighter. I went through the moon's asteroid belt." Bruce answered.
"Impossible," Diana said, in a powrful demeanor. "They own the space."
"You mean you flew here all the way from Pluto?" The man with the trench coat who he had talked to earlier asked.
"That's right." Bruce responded.
"Impressive." The woman said with a smile.
Bruce smiled back. The large guy with the tank top frowned slightly. Lex looked from Bruce, to Hal then to Barry. He smiled and faced the other leaders, "Looks like you've got your new blood."

Jim-Ol and Kal-El stood to the side as many scientists rushed to work on the large machine. It started glowing brighter and Kal-El smiled, "Is it almost ready?"
"Yes, sir. They say that it should be operational in two cycles." Jim-Ol responded. Kal-El turned and started walking, Jim-Ol followed, "Good, I want to test it on the station orbiting Pluto."
"Yes, sir." Jim-Ol said.
They continued walking until they reached a lab inside. Two people were strapped to tables, one was Dinah Lance, a beautiful yet tough League member. She had short, blonde hair, a scar on her cheek and large lips. Beside her on another table was Eel O'Brien. He had spiky black hair and a broken pair of shades on his face.
Both were wearing close to nothing and had tubes, electrodes and IVs sticking out of them. Kal-El went up to one of the scientists writing down something from a computer screen, "How are the League spies doing?"
The scientist turned, "Well, sir. We have administered the drugs and radiation that we thought necassary. We'll than do a completer mindsweep. They'll be perfect pawns."
"Excellent." Kal-El said to himself.

Lois, Bruce, Hal, Barry, Clark, Orin, J'onn, Diana and Lex stood in a large, cavernous room. Above their heads were hanging salactites almost touching their heads. Each of them wore their usual clothes, but now they wore bulky vests and had holsters on their side.
Lex looked to everyone, "Ready for training?"
Some of them nodded. Hal, Barry and Bruce looked confused, "Umm. . ." Barry started. "How do these work?"
Lex pulled out his gun. It looked like a normal handgun but had a small laser sight and larger barrel, "This is a Mac67. It fires small darts that render you paralyzed until given a needle. A Human body can only stand three darts safely, so be careful."
"Uh," Bruce raised his hand. "What's with the vests if it's not fatal?"
"The vests attract the darts so that none can penetrate your spine or eyes or. . .other areas." Lex explained. Barry and Hal cringed from the last statement, "Now go to your areas."
They each began to split up in the large, dark room. "Hey!" Lois shouted to Bruce as he began to walk away. He turned around and looked at her. She bent down and grabbed his flight helmet and tossed it to him, "Good luck. . .Batman."
He smiled, "Back at ya." He put the helmet on with a grin.
A loud buzzer went off and everyone moved out. In the darkness of the cave only a few black lights lit the area. Hal walked around a corner, gun drawn up to his face. He turned slowly, aiming the gun outward as he moved. He saw someone's back and pionted it at them. Hal was about to pull the trigger when the person tuned around, it was Barry.
"Hey!" Hal whispered loudly. Barry saw him and walked over. "We should work as a team." Hal said.
"Good idea. Move out." Barry added. They both walked off in different directions.
J'onn walked from his area with stern pride, his gun lowered to his waist. He heard a small voice and went into immaterial. J'onn slid into the cave walls and watched as Lois crept by quietly.
Clark knelt down low, hiding in the shadows of the cave. His laser pointer was off and his eyes were wide open, pulling in all the light he could. His nose itched but he resisted the urge to scratch it, after all, growing up on a farm taught you discipline.
Orin crept along slowly, gun drawn out and held frontwards with both hands. This was not his playing ground, if he was in water they would have all been dropped by now. Orin turned a corner and quickly hid as Diana walked by, gun beside her cheek. This was the perfect chance to strike. Orin stood up and went to shoot Diana when a shot came from the darkness and collapsed her to the floor first.
"Damn!" She yelled as she crumbled.
Orin hid in the shadows more.
Lex walked over to the light and pressed a small button on his forearm. A bulky looking suit covered him, green in colour and made of hard steel. It had a neural tube leading from his brain to it's computer and a dome covering his face. The gun fit out of a small wrist hole. It was his Robotic Intelligence Suit, Rob-In for short. Lex continued on with a smile.
From the darkness Bruce lurked, he had climbed the rock walls and made it onto the salactites. Thanks to the helmet he had been able to soo Diana's heat signature, he could also see Orin's but held out on getting him. He now looked down, he had located the heat signatures of Lois, Clark, J'onn, Hal and Barry also but not Lex's. Bruce continued on to another salactite.
Barry walked down a small passageway. He had to move sideways or wouldn't fit. Barry held the gun in front of him, watching closely through the darkness. Suddenly, from beside him, J'onn materialized from the wall and shot two darts into him. Barry fell with a thud.
"Ah, man. Taken down by the Martian Manhunter." Barry quipped as he lie still, unable to move his body. J'onn bent down, grabbed Barry's gun and moved on.
Lois crept quickly through the cave, circling a spot a few times to make sure she wasn't being followed. She knew where Bruce was, she had put a small tracker from her wristband onto the side of the helmet. She moved through the caverns, following the signal.
Orin walked slowly by his starting point again, this time carrying Diana's gun in his holster. He moved swiftly, with almost no sound. His sensitive, Atlantean ears picked up noise. It seemed to be coming from inside the walls. He knew J'onn could immaterialize so he kept on, hoping to lure him out.
J'onn watched Orin pass, waiting for the right time to jump out. As Orin walked by J'onn materialized from the wall with surprise. Orin turned quickly, firing three shots from the gun in his hand. The first on passed J'onn's chest and went through the air, the other two hit him square in the chest. But not before J'onn let off one shot, which took Orin down with him.
J'onn looked to Orin, "This is great."
Lex continued down a cavern, the bulkiness of Rob-In was deffinitely a problem and it deffinitely wasn't the quietest thing, but it would work. He kept walking, using the suit to scan for life signs. He found someone, knealing in the corner, so he walked up to the spot.
Hal was walking by the cavern walls. He had already passed Barry's joke- making body and continued on. He could hear the faint sound of metal clinking on the floor so he followed it. As he rounded a corner he saw Lex, covered in a robotic suit.
Clark popped out, aiming his gun at Lex, oblivious to Hal. Lex fired a shot, Hal fired a shot. Clark hit the ground and crawled away. Lex's shot missed Hal by an inch, but Hal's shot hit the suit's sensor, causing it to shutdown and sending Lex to the floor, paralyzed.
Hal smiled in victory as Bruce jumped down from the ceiling. He wore his flight helmet and had his gun poking Hal in the chest. Bruce waved to him and smiled, pulling the trigger and sending Hal to the floor.
Lois crept through the cavern's shadows, keeping to the side. She heard at least three shots fired in front of her so she hoped to get the remaining member as they fleed. She walked up slowly and quietly as she saw Hal and Lex lying on the floor. Lois checked them for guns, both had none.
Bruce raced down the cave corridor, two guns in hand and one holstered. He had seen Clark run this way, fast. He was a good tactician for a farmboy, but Bruce was better. He had read everything from The Art of War by Sun Tzu to a lot written by Einstein. He huffed slightly as he ran, "He's like a friggin' Superman." Bruce remarked as he ran.
Clark had managed to hide, letting Bruce run by. As Clark stepped out from the shadows, ready to fire at him. From behind him a clicking noise came. He turned and faced Lois, gun pointed at Clark's chest, "Nighty- night, farmboy." She said and pulled the trigger.
Bruce heard Clark hit the floor and he quickly turned around. His guns were pointed straight out, her gun was pointed straight out. Before he could do anything she had picked Clark's up and made it a fair stand-off.
"So, Brucey, looks like were even." Lois remarked with an almost devilish smile.
Bruce looked her over, and smiled back, "No, we're not."
He threw both his guns at her. She was stunned by this action and recoiled as the guns flew at her. Lois side-stepped and the guns hit the cave wall. As she was doing this Bruce had hit the ground, pulled out the holstered gun and let a shot loose.
The dart hit Lois dead centre, sending her straight to the ground. Bruce got up and walked over to her, leaning down. She had a warm smile on her black lip-sticked lips. Bruce kissed her lightly on the forehead, "Game over."
