I mentioned it in the paragraph before, but I've fixed it.

"So all you have to do, is focus your mind, and the energy responds to your command?" Zatanna asked. I nodded.
"That's a little simple, but accurate. I have to have exactly what I'm trying to do, worked out in my head, before calling up the power. A half-baked plan, is just as likely to kill me, as my enemies." Superman raised an eyebrow.
"Kill?" He asked, deathly calm. At that point, most people would have backed down, or at the very least, backed up.
"Yes, kill. I do my absolute best not to, but if given no other choice, I will kill." Superman snorted. Zatanna looked distinctly uncomfortable, while Supergirl nodded approvingly. Flash didn't even blink. "I believe in the principal of equal force. Only use force equal to that used against me. I don't like to kill, if that makes a difference."
"It's not my place to approve, or disapprove." Superman grunted. "Sorry for interrupting." He apologized to Zatanna.
"No big deal. So, what about this premonition power of yours?" She asked. I shrugged.
"It works in a couple of different ways. First off, I can get a full premonition. I get completely lost in it, but it depicts parts of future events. Sometimes years away, sometimes they occur the next day. One predicted the Thanagarians, as I mentioned. It also predicted that comet, though nothing about it gave a time frame. The second manifestation is similar, but it shows the past. Say a battle. A weapon that participated in the battle, the strong emotions tied to that weapon would lead my power to show me what happened. The final manifestation, is a pre-escience of sorts. Sometimes it warns of danger, some times of arrivals. I felt the three of you coming before you arrived." I smiled.
"Interesting." Zatanna nodded. "You'll have to meet Etrigan, and Fate. Etrigan will love you, Fate will hate you." She grinned impishly. "This is going to be more fun than Vegas on a Friday night."
"Fun's going to have to wait, look." Flash pointed down the street, where a massive robot was firing on a building.
"Uh-oh." Supergirl grunted. I heartily agreed.

"Alright, this won't be that hard. You're helping." Superman snapped, taking charge, and pointing at Adam.
"Right, boss." He replied, mock saluting.
"Stop that." Superman growled. Supergirl laughed. "I'm going to head around to the right. Supergirl, hit him from the left. Flash get behind him and wait for us to hit him. That's your cue to distract him. Zatanna, Adam, when he does that, you two hit him from the other side. Then we'll hit him again." Before any of them could say a word, he turned, and bolted. Flash and Supergirl disappeared as well. Adam turned to Zatanna.
"Any ideas?" He asked.
"One." She nodded. "I think a little lightning is in order."
"I can dig it." He replied. She grabbed the front of his shirt, and bolted forwards dragging him through the air. She set them down about a block away from the monster, just as the Super pair hit it. And bounced off. "Not good." Adam muttered. Flash hit it from behind, flinging several thousand baseballs, commandeered from a near to hand sporting goods store. The baseballs bounced off.
"Gninthgil!" Zatanna yelled. A bolt lanced down from the sky, and there was a flicker along the surface of the robot. Adam raised his hands, swallowed, and red lightning lunged out, racing from building to building, and along the ground, striking up and around at the robot. He staggered back a step. A moment later, twin pairs of heat vision flashed from either side of the street. The monster's right arm, facing Superman lifted and fired. The back tentacle on the left hand side, smashed downwards, to crush Supergirl. A moment later, the tentacle was pulled tight, then the robot was lifted off it's feet. It slammed down a block over, and Zatanna and Adam prepared to fire again, able to see through the ruins. Lightning lashed down from the sky, and the strange red form hammered into it again.
"It's not enough." Zatanna shook her head. Flash buckled the pavement as he came around the corner, and darted up to one of the robot's legs. A whirlwind, generated from his arms caused the leg to buckle. After a moment, he stopped, forced to dodge the other tentacle. Superman bolted forwards and began to beat at the upper torso. The right arm took aim, and fired. Superman, and the blast slammed against Adam's hastily erected shield. The entire shield was forced back a few feet, and Superman slumped to the ground, out cold.
"I've got an idea. I can boost your powers, but at the cost of my own. The blast will be about three times normal. Want to try?" Adam asked. Zatanna nodded. "Then get ready." He stepped behind her, and put his hands on her shoulders. A wind surrounded them, and they rose into the air. Hair flying she took aim.
"Gninthgil!" This time, the bolt that arced down from above, was an almost blood red. It impacted the robot, and there was an explosion. As the two magicians stumbled back, and Superman stirred, Flash and Supergirl arrived, cheering. Adam dropped to his knees gripping his head, and Zatanna was leaning against a light post.
"You did it!" Flash laughed. "Are you two alright?"
"It just took more than I expected." Zatanna replied. She spared Superman a glance first. "You?"
"I'll be fine. So, are you alive?" He asked Adam. Adam nodded slightly.
"I've been better." He replied, rubbing the back of his neck. "Amazing." He pointed.
"What..." Supergirl started to turn.

:So, they destroyed my robot. They won't be able to destroy me.: The alien, which looked exactly like the suit, except it was only seven feet tall. As for the hands however, the seven fingers were backed, by razor edged bone projections, all incredibly sharp looking. The alien gave again, what passed for a smile among it's species, and charged the assembled heroes.
