Days Of Thunder Part 1:
Synopsis: As part of a plot with Ares, The Enchantress has lured Thor to the DC universe and placed a spell on him forcing him to believe that the Justice League has destroyed his home, Asgard. In his maddening rage, Thor has made a thundering debut in Metropolis. Now he has Superman's full attention.
Struggle. Many would argue that life is a struggle between classes, races, religions, and genders. But look above Metropolis and you will see a struggle of a different sort. Thor, Norse god of thunder is in a struggle against a Kryptonian sworn to protect the innocents watching below. But hovering above even them, in the depths of space is the Watchtower, home to the Justice League, as they watch the battle unfold. Superman's voice cracks in over the monitor.
"This guy is too dangerous and confused to be handled with extreme force," he says, "give me time to subdue him and maybe I can figure outtTTAAAAAAAAHHH!!"
The leaguers watch in horror as a lightning bolt shocks Superman from the sky and to the ground among a crowd of bystanders.
"Why is it that whenever there's a crisis on the street, people flock to it?" Green Lantern says
"We have to help him!" Supergirl says
"He asked for time, so we'll give him time," Wonder Woman says, "This man he's fighting doesn't appear to very strong."
"We don't have time," Supergirl responds
"We'll give him time, but not that much," Batman says and then leaves
"Where are you going?" Diana says
"Research," Batman responds without turning his head. Diana and Supergirl stare at each other coldly.
Meanwhile on the streets of Metropolis...
"Thou art no match for me," Thor says as he summons lightning bolt after lightning bolt down on Superman, "You are the ruler of this weak world and the leader of the Justice League, those who destroyed Asgard. Well, thy kingdom come indeed!!"
(Note: Those of you who read "Kingdom Come" will remember that Captain Marvel called down lightning bolts on Superman in their battle. Just paying tribute.)
Superman responds with a left hook to Thor's jaw. The blow sends Thor flying through the sky and through the front window of a 24 hour pizzeria. The god of thunder finds himself covered in tomato sauce, cheese, and pizza dough. Superman flies in behind him.
"Thou dare soil the cloth of the gods?" Thor says angrily, "Come out so that I may thrash thee, coward!!"
Another hard blow lands to the back of Thor's head sending him into the street. "I have to get him out of here; take him someplace where innocents won't get hurt," Superman thinks. He flies fists first at Thor, but Thor sidesteps, and grabbing Superman's cape, throws him through the door to a bar across the street. As the bar patrons clear out through the back, Superman rises to receive a hard punch to his face which knocks him back down and Thor walks over him, stepping on his groin, chest and throat.
"Barkeep," he says to a bystander who didn't make it out fast enough, "Fetch me six flagons of ale. This weakling's fight has given me a godly thirst!"
"I don't think they sell Ginger Ale," the guy replies
"Out of my way, mortal," Thor says as he lifts a keg and chugs it down in less than five seconds, "This beverage is not worthy of a man, let alone a god!!"
At that point, Superman grabs Thor by his chest and flies him through the roof of the bar into the sky. Superman then lets Thor go, backs up, and blasts him with his heat vision.
"Time to end this, Thor," Superman says
"Indeed," Thor replies, "Thou is clearly a weak coward. Tell me, how did one as feminine-fighting as thee kill the gods of Asgard? Thou cannot fight me like a male, striking me from behind like a wench, how did thee destroy Asgard?"
"I didn't— AARRGGHH!!" Superman is cut off by another lightning bolt strike. As Superman struggles to stay afloat in the sky, Thor removes his hammer, Mjolnir, from his side. "Now I shall show thee the power of the gods!!"
Meanwhile at the Watchtower...
Diana has been silently watching Batman type at his keyboard for well over an hour. She's right behind him but she feels a million miles away.
"There's no record of Thor, other than the mythological information," he says more to himself than to her, "Where did he come from and why does he believe we destroyed his home?"
"Bruce," she says softly with some resistance, "we need to talk about earlier."
"Right now, we need to figure out why Thor is here," Batman responds, "I need to."
"So you want me to leave," Diana says
"Whether you're here or not," he says, "the work must get done."
"Bruce," Diana says, "Do I mean anything to you?"
"Now is not the time for this, Diana."
"Then when will there be time?" she says getting angry, "When Hades freezes over or will it be when you admit that you care about me."
"You are my teammate," he says nonchalantly and not looking back at her, "Of course I care about you." He then gets on the intercom and says, "Batman to Supergirl. Report to the computer room."
"You know, Bruce," Diana says with a saddened chuckle, "You may be the first man that's ever hurt my feelings." And with that she turns and walks out. In the hallway she bumps into an angry and worried Supergirl rushing to where Batman is. Kara stares Diana down as she goes by and Diana only reacts by not reacting. But as Diana is walking away, Supergirl says, "Hey Wonder Woman; how's your bellybutton?"
Kara storms into the computer room.
"There's a tear in the intergalactic fabric somewhere in Greece," Batman says, "I want you and Booster Gold to take the Atom to it for examination."
"Kal is getting killed out there and you want me to see about some DAMN PORTAL?!!"
"A strike force is being mobilized to deal with Thor as we speak. You have shown a little too much recklessness as of late; this situation doesn't call for you just yet," he replies
"You hypocritical... ooooh," Kara says, "When I was training, you said..."
"This is different. Take Booster Gold and the Atom to Greece. Here are the coordinates to the portal. Let him study it and he will report back to me." Batman rises and starts to walk out.
"And where are you going?" Kara says
"With the strikeforce."
Back in Metropolis...
Superman has taken an onslaught of hammer blasts and lightning strikes, but has fought valiantly. However, Superman is extremely vulnerable to magic, and Thor's hammer is forged from that very thing, and every lightning bolt hurts. As odd and unlikely as it sounds, Superman has been lucky in this battle because Thor has not hit him with the hammer. Superman now finds himself on the ground again and barely able to stand up.
"Rise buffoon," Thor says, "Taste the iron of Asgard."
Superman rises as the cameras pan in.
"Can't give up," he says, "Not for Metropolis; not for the world."
"Thou world is mine," Thor says as he twirls his hammer for the first and final blow.
"Forget it pal," Supergirl says as she flies in and tries to pull the hammer from Thor. He lets it go and it immediately hits the ground, nearly breaking Supergirl's fingers.
"I thought we were going to Greece," Booster Gold says to his floating computer friend who's name I can't remember. Elongated Man also came for the ride.
"What treachery is this?" Thor says as Supergirl struggles to lift the hammer, "Woman, thou cannot lift the hammer; no one who is without the power of the gods can."
(Note: Captain America is the only HUMAN who has lifted Thor's hammer)
With a wave of his hand, the hammer Mjolnir returns to Thor with Supergirl still holding on to it. Thor courses enough magic through his hammer and into Supergirl to render her unconscious. Then, he blasts Superman, knocking him semi-conscious.
"Let's get this clown," Booster says. Elongated Man wraps himself around Thor's upper body and Booster goes for the hammer.
"Not a good idea, Boost," the computer friend says. Thor blasts Booster and sends him down. "And now to thee," Thor says as he struggles with Elongated Man's stretchy frame.
"I have a few tricks of my own, ya Village People wannabe," he says as he tries to block Thor's nasal passages and clog his mouth with his elasticity. Thor, in a pretty good feat of strength, sucks in Elongated Man through his left nostril and then sneezes him out, leaving him a pile of goo on the ground.
"Mission accomplished, Bats," Elongated Man says weakly, "Momma said there'd be days like this."
"Weaklings," Thor says, "I must find a tavern." With that, Thor flies away.
About two hours later, outside of a Budweiser brewery on the outskirts of Metropolis...
Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Power Girl, Fire, Ice, and Zatanna stand waiting to enter.
"Should we knock?" Wonder Woman says
"J'onn just let me know that the extraction of Superman, Supergirl, Booster Gold and Elongated Man from Metropolis is complete and they are now back at the Watchtower's medi-lab," Batman says, "Green Lantern has gone to Greece to investigate the portal, and now it's our turn."
"I still can't believe this guy has his headquarters at a brewery," Flash says, "Are you sure he isn't the god of thundering around drunk?"
"I'm just eager to smash this jerk," Power Girl says
"First, we will try to talk to him in a manner different from Superman's," Batman says, "if that doesn't work, then the object is to get him to Greece. I have a pretty good feeling that if--"
"No," Wonder Woman says looking at Batman coldly, "After what he's done, the object is to just get him. Period." Wonder Woman flies through the brewery wall and everyone follows except an angry Batman who slowly enters knowing that his plans may have just gone up in smoke.
Flash turns to Batman and smiles, "Last call!"
In Greece at the site of the portal...
Ares and The Enchantress stand over the unconscious body of the Green Lantern. Ares removes his ring and gives it to The Enchantress.
"A gift to you, my love," he says
"Let him keep it," she says, "It will make it even more entertaining to watch you best him again when he awakes."
"And when the Justice League comes, I will best them as well," Ares replies smiling
"No Ares," The Enchantress says, "They will not survive Thor."
To be continued...
