Disclaimer: AU as all my stuff is, I own only Adam.

I was sitting in the cafeteria chewing on a piece of jerky, waiting for Kara to return from her mission, when I felt the room go cold. "Either Flash has been playing with the thermostat. Or the Batman is behind me." I tilted my head back, and sure enough there he was.

"You and I need to have a talk." He grunted.

"And all at once, I've lost my appetite." I sighed, swallowing the entire piece of jerky, and sitting up. "Have a seat, talk. I don't promise to listen."

"In private." He snapped.

"Ah, no." I replied, shaking my head. "See, I know how you work. First you get your target/victim alone, then use that big scary voice of yours, to shake them into revealing things they might want to keep hidden." I laughed. "I'm not that stupid, and I've nothing to hide, so sit down, talk, I'm in the mood for entertainment." I grinned at him. I was doing my best to annoy him to see what reaction I'd get. He didn't react at all. Figures.

"Fine, if you want this to be public, let it be. Were you ever told the story of the Justice Lords?" He asked me, as if it were a secret.

"Of course, Kara told me, after Clark told her." I replied, leaning forwards. "What of it?"

"Then you know, that after their Flash died, they went Rogue." He began, but I cut him off.

"So,you're really a mind reader?" There was a crowd forming around us.

"What?" He asked.

"You've figured out that I'm the cause of the Justice Lords, since I keep having the urge to kill Flash?" I asked. Batman glared flatly.

"No. I'll be sure to keep that in mind, but I was referring to that little magic trick you and your clone used." He hissed.

"Ah, the Battle God." I smiled. "Now we're getting down to it."

"If you were the only one able to defeat that thing, how do we stop you, incase you're the one to go rogue?" He asked.

"If I go rogue, it won't be using the Battle God form. First of all, it's very goal oriented. It will pursue a single goal, regardless of the consquences using the most effective means at it's disposal.That clone did not experience the one thing that would stop me, because it was born in that form." I poked myself in the chest. "This body is not designed for running the way that one is. After about a day, it'll burn out, as the over flow of energy destroys it from the inside. The advantage to the Battle God, is that it draws energy continually, from everything, air, fire, water, earth, and life. You notice I'm very frugal with the energy I use, because I run out far easier than the Battle God."

"So, we'd just need to run you out of energy?" He asked. I shrugged, and nodded. "Then just one other thing." He dropped a manila folder in front of me. It was very thin. "This, is your file. Seems you don't exist, until just less than a year before Zatanna found you. Care to elaborate?"

"Not really." I replied. "Pray tell, why are you so curious about me? And how to stop me?"

"I don't want a repeat of the Justice Lords in this dimension." Batman replied.

"You seem to be forgetting something." Green Arrow spoke up. "It's not just the seven of you anymore."

"He's right." Question replied. "Much as I might hate to admit it. It's not just the seven of you. Infact, there are too many of us for anyone of us, or group, to go rogue, without the rest of us being able to stop them."

"Exactly." Arrow replied. "Besides, you know how to stop each one of us anyway, so what are you worried about?"

"Me being the only one able to stop you." Batman replied.

"That's alright, we can stop you, so you don't have to worry about it." Green Arrow replied, a hand on his shoulder.

"But if I can stop you..." He left it hanging.

"Don't worry Bats. We can overwhelm you, there's enough of us." Booster Gold replied solemnly.

"That doesn't make me feel any better." Batman grunted, rising to his feet. He glared at me. "We'll talk again Adam. I'm not satisfied."

"Somehow, I knew you were going to say that." I replied, and reached for another piece of Jerky.
