In my universe, Argo was destroyed by the last of the shockwaves from Krypton.

"Now that we've all had time to... Ahem, make up, what shall we do now?" Ory asked, the next morning. It was false morning, but in space, morning was whenever the lights came on.
"Keep going?" Diana suggested.
"Let me go home?" Adam asked. Kara hit him. "Sorry."
"Would you like to visit the sites of the two planets from which Kara and Clark come?" Addy asked. Kara swallowed, with some difficulty.
"I think I would." She replied, and looked around. "Any objections?" She asked.
"No." Came the universal answer.
"Alright then Addy, make it so." Adam replied. Space folded in and the two ships, still attached at the metaphorical hip, appeared in high orbit of the remains of the planet Argo. There were still remains floating in the atmosphere. That wasn't all that was floating. Two huge salvage ships, floated, drawing in chunks of surface, and bodies, without any compassion. A fire lit in the eyes of those around. Adam slammed his fist into the wall, and a half dozen small black belt buckles flipped out on the wall. He tossed one to each of the girls. He offered the last to Lantern. "As a backup." The glowing hero shook his head. "Batman, take Ory."
"Fine." He darted across the tube connecting the air locks, and then they parted. The buckles hummed as the four heroes spilled out of the ship like angry bees. The two ships accelerated along behind them. The two mining cruisers were not undefended, and laser weapons opened fired as they approached. Then, like an equally angry swarm of bees, a hundred missiles lanced out at them. Heat vision and energy blasts lanced out detonating some of the missiles. Diana smashed clean through a pair, while Shayera darted among them, smashing with her mace, left and right, crushing the guidance systems of the various missiles. They swung wildly, and collided with each other. Adam swept his arm through the Adamantium's holographic command display, and the ship rolled away to the right. Then it vanished in a silver-white orb of energy, and reappeared behind the huge ore ships. Missiles lunged from the tubes, like deadly silver grey hounds, racing towards the engine exhausts. At the same time, Batman and Ory raced in on the other ship, raking it with laser fire, destroying a few of the turrets.
Lantern swept along in his wake, smashing and blasting those he missed. Energy lanced along the other ship, as Kara swept it with her heat vision. Shayera approached an air lock and hit it, hard. The metal buckled under the assault, and she slipped inside, just short of the massive doors that closed to seal the air lock. Diana decided to ignore the airlocks, and take the short route. She crashed through the side paneling, and swept down a corridor as the computer on-board sealed it off. She burst onto the bridge, and found herself faced with a half dozen laser armed pig like guards. Explosions rocked the ship as the missiles impacted on the tail of the ship, and lights went dark. Fortunately, Diana could see better in the dark than the guards, and most found themselves wrapped by their own guns when they woke. The pilot, a smaller, eight tentacled alien, was very co-operative, in shutting down the jaws, and backing away on maneuvering thrusters.
On the second ship, Shayera smashed guns, and guards, with equal force, and priority. She knocked down the doors intended to keep her contained in just a few blows, and reached the bridge at the same time Kara breached it from the outside. Blast doors slammed shut, sealing them off from the vacuum. The guards on the bridge fell instantly and the commander of both ships swore as he was cornered. A moment later, Lantern burst in, followed by Adam. The Adamantium floated just clear of the ship. Next, Diana joined them. A holographic Batman appeared.
"What did you think you were doing?" Kara snarled. "This is restricted space, and despite the planet being gone, and me being the last living inhabitant." She growled at him. Adam crossed the floor, and laid a restraining hand cautiously on her shoulder.
"Honey, calm down, or you're going to have a heart attack." He muttered, infusing magic into his words. The spell was old and complex, and not one he used often, but it wasn't as draining as others. The magic soothed her temper, from a raging inferno into a bubbling anger. She took a calming breath and nodded.
"She's right, what's your answer?" Diana snarled.
"I was sold the salvage rights. I knew the Lanterns had cordoned it off, but I was told it was now free. I checked into it, and everything said go." The over sized simian captain commented.
"So why were you so heavily armed?" Shayera asked.
"Reports of Pirates nearby. We didn't want to be caught defenseless." He sighed. "I guess it's pointless now."
"Don't worry, we did the damage, we'll fix it. I can take you back to your port-of-call without difficulty. You'll have to point it out on a star map, but that shouldn't be hard." Adam supplied. The captain nodded.
"So what do we do about the remains of the planet?" Lantern asked.
"Erect force wall generators, including signals to the league." Batman replied simply.
"Can we do it?" Kara asked, the look in her eyes clearly ready to beg if need be. Diana nodded.
"Of course." The captain and Adam were discussing something at the end of which they shook hands.
"Let's rock then." He grinned. "Bats, tell Ory to contact Addy. Addy, baby?" There was a beep as the two holograms appeared.
"You rang Oh, lord?" They spoke in unison.
"Stop that. Ory, latch on to the second ship, and Addy grab this one. We're going to One-three-seven-nine-one-two-eight." He closed his eyes as he recalled the co-ordinates.
"As thou command, oh great lord." They bowed and vanished. Adam turned, and banged his head against the wall.
"What are they talking about?" Kara asked. He sighed.
"There's no help for it I guess." He lifted his hand into the air, and snapped his fingers. Lines of fire lanced up his form, and then his clothing changed. The sneakers melded into black leather boots, the pants and jacket molded down becoming much tighter fit, and his hair changed color from the usually dark brown, to a light silver color, and stretched to the floor. From his shoulders, a long, flowing cape appeared, the outer side blue, the inner, silver. He bowed low. "I am High Lord Adam Marcae, of the house Marcae, dimension nine, point six. That is how I came into my powers. The entire family, clan it could be called, has them, all thanks to another of our number."
"And that would be?" Diana asked.
"High Lord Triaxx dul Marcae. Technically my brother. He drew the first power into the line, and we've not yet been able to get rid of him. Typically, only my brother Robert, and I ever deal with him directly. The rest of the family can't stand the arrogant son of a bitch." He grunted, in more than just an uncharacteristic usage of swearing. He inhaled, and his clothing reverted. "Thankfully for me, he's otherwise entertained. Else he'd have butted in by now."
"You butted in on yourself." Lantern pointed out.
"I know, odd of him. Normally we stay away from each other. Something big must be nearing. Did he say anything funny?" Adam asked.
"Nothing unusual." Batman supplied. "Why?"
"No reason."
"So if you're a high lord..." Kara began. "what does that make me?"
"The most beautiful woman on earth." Adam replied with a bow, and a kiss to the back of her hand. "And my High Lady. You do share the position with some others however. Namely the two my other self is involved with, and a number of others, though none match your beauty." He smiled winningly. "Addy, how goes it?"
"Latched in place, Ory's having a bit of trouble. No, now she's got him. Jumping." Space lurched around them, and when the air was clear, only Adam managed to keep his lunch in his stomach.
"That was not fun." Shayera muttered. "I think I want to go home." She replied. The others nodded enthusiastically. The Adamantium swept up the side of the ship, and they climbed out the window, the airlock now hanging useless from the side. The blast doors sealed behind them, and the Adamantium pulled away just after they reached it. Ory slid up alongside, and connected. Batman crossed the corridor between the two, and glared at Adam. Considering this was a normal expression for him, no one commented. Ory appeared on the deck.
"I'm being called, am I free to go?" She asked. Adam nodded, She vanished.
"Addy, baby? Take us home." Adam commanded. The ship spun around and aimed for earth, then lunged ahead.

Ornota was still swearing as he landed in his office. When he arrived, before him stood three heroes. Dr. Light, Fire, and Steel. Steel stepped forwards tapping his sledgehammer, and circled to the left. Fire stepped around to the right. Dr. Light smiled.
"Mr. Ornota?" She inquired curiously. He nodded slightly. "You're wanted for the theft, and subsequent destruction of a Wayne corp spacecraft. Really, we can do this any way you like, messy, or clean. I prefer clean, but my assistants don't mind messy." She shrugged. His response? He laughed.
"Fools, you cannot defeat the magnificent powers, of Cyber-naught." He lifted into the air, and the computer lunged up, cables wrapping Dr. Light. Steel swept his hammer around, and aimed for the scientists head. The head on the weapon slithered back along the handle, which bent back down of it's own accord. The armor then shorted out. At the same instant flames danced across the floor, and through the air. The cybernetic lifted into the air, and swept backwards out the window, and into the air. Light finally managed to sever the cables with a razor fine laser stream and crashed through the window, before lifting into the air, after him. Steel motioned Fire to go, that he was fine. As she left, Luthor entered.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"Fine, not happy though." Came the reply.
"Excellent workmanship, did you do it yourself?" Luthor queried, indicating the suit. Steel nodded. "Might I offer you assistance in repairing it?"
"Why?" Steel asked, not wanting to trust him so easily.
"Repayment for assistance." Luthor shrugged.
"Alright." Came the answer.

In the air over metropolis, three things occurred. A lance of light slashed out and ripped away Cyber-naught's coat. A silver flash indicated the return of the Adamantium over head. Finally, a red wind, featuring the rebuilt Red Tornado in the center, appeared, and swept towards the flying cybernetic. He slammed into him at full power, and bounced. Two ends of electrical wire rose up from the street, and wrapped around his ankles, and electricity ran through his form. He was swearing as he exploded, again.
