The Fear
Now
Mr. Terrific looks down at the floor wondering how to say this. How to tell all that's gathered here the horrible news.
"Everything Dies." Mr. Terrific begins.
"You. Me. Everyone on this planet. Our sun. Our galaxy. And, eventually, the universe itself. This is the truth. It's inevitable…and I accept it."
The Dark Event
30 Hours Ago
Star City
Green Arrow chases Catman into the star city forest.
"You're not getting away that easy" shouted Green Arrow as he shot a taser arrow into the back of Catman's legs. He screamed in agony before collapsing to the ground.
"Damn it, Green Arrow." Growled Catman as he reached inside his utility belt. Green Arrow slammed his foot on Catman's hand, cracking his hand.
"Arghh!"
"What were you stealing!"
Catman gritted his teeth. "Some weirdo in a mask wanted…wanted this." Catman revealed a metallic medallion around his neck, "a piece of Quadium."
"Why?" Green Arrow asked. But the answer arrived when black lightning struck the ground in front of them and blew both hero and villain back ten feet. Green Arrow opened his eyes in time to see a black and purple spiral portal open.
"What the…" Green Arrow gasped as grey and red twisted multiple appendage monsters with chitin armor.
"This earth is basic." Hisses one of the monsters.
The second points out Green Arrow and Catman, "look colorful humans." It moves with quickness that Green Arrow never witnesses including the flash. Green Arrow screamed as the second monster's arm punctured the right side of his chest.
"Seems on this earth the heart is on the left side." The second monster removed his hand and Green Arrow screamed.
"Enough our job is to destroy this earth." Says the third monster as he pulls out a large grey machine with an unearthly yellow glow and began to place it into the ground.
"Not this time!" cries out a voice as a man in a blue suit with white stars hops from the same spiral portal the other monsters did with a gold staff. The staff punctures the third monster through the chest before blowing the creature into pieces.
"You still live!" growls the second monster. It was the moment that lasted an eternity. Green arrow struggled to breathe and yanked out an arrow from his quiver and shoved it into the monster's back of the leg but his arrow fractured. The monster didn't even notice.
The first monster attacked but the bright colored hero fell back and kicked the monster back through the portal.
The second monster grabbed the man. The hero looked to Catman.
"Hurry the Quadium!" shouted the man. The second monster noticed Catman and tossed the blue man away before charging at the villain. Green arrow tossed his entire quiver at the monster and pressed a small button on his belt.
The quiver exploded in the creatures face.
The second monster released a high pitch whistle as it was headless but still was charging right at Catman.
"You had to fucking break my hand you green dick." Cried out Catman as he tried to scramble away from the monster.
The monster's head had halfway regrown, with a bottom of its mouth. The creature was on top of Catman, when it exploded. Standing behind the creature was the blue man.
"The Quadium?"
Catman ripped the pink metal from around his neck and tossed it to the blue man. He caught it and barely held the metal before he tossed it at the dark portal then blasted it with his gold staff.
The portal was sucked into a bigger white and Yellow portal.
With the dark portal gone, the monsters dead, and the machine stuck into the earth, the Blue and white Hero collapsed leaving the wounded Catman and Green Arrow to question what took place.
The Summons
6 Hours Ago
Badlands
Green Arrow wonders if they will come. He wonders if there is a god above and if they would forgive him for what he was about to do. To save him from what the world demanded.
Save him from the Damned.
Constantine opens up a portal and steps through. The dabbler of the dark arts catches Green Arrow's eyes and is about to say something but interrupted by the arrival of the second member.
Save him from the Thinkers.
Mr. Terrific lands behind Constantine in his hovercar.
Save him from the Lost King.
Black Adam the former champion of magic and king of Khandaq hovers above the two uncertain if he should join.
Save him from the Warrior.
Deathstroke rode in on his motorcycle.
Show us another way.
Green Arrow open the entrance to the building and beckoned them in.
The Discovery
12 Hours Ago
Mr. Terrific stood by the blue and white man's side, running multiple diagnostics. The man awoke with a start.
"W-where am I?" he asks.
Mr. Terrific looks him over, "Its okay you…you're safe."
"N-n-no never…safe they'll come again."
"Who will?"
"Vorrians."
"What are they?"
"They destroy Earths, they destroyed mine and they will continue to attack your world until they destroy it and every Earth in the multiverse."
"You stopped them."
"No, you fool I only delayed them. The only way to stop them is to wipe them out."
"Easy now, you have a damaged c3 vertebrae, truth be told we shouldn't even be talking."
"My name….is Star-man and F-from Earth 61."
"Stop talking, please Star man we can save you."
"I'm done. We've tried everything I tell ya, the only thing to stop them is Genocide." Star man's heart monitor flatlined.
Mission
Now
Mr. Terrific looks down at the floor wondering how to say this. How to tell all that's gathered here the horrible news.
"Everything Dies." Mr. Terrific begins.
"You. Me. Everyone on this planet. Our sun. Our galaxy. And, eventually, the universe itself. This is the truth. It's inevitable…and I accept it."
"What I don't accept is the forced eradication of our home. Which is why Oliver called us." Oliver rubs his wounded chest. Constantine had taken a look at it earlier and with some magical chants and a sprinkle of some burning herbs, the wound began to close up on its own. But the lingering pain was still there.
"Oh, boohoo, earth's faced many near destructions. What makes this so different, huh?" Constantine demands taking a swig from his canteen.
"Because I fought those things." Oliver spoke up, "We…"Oliver looks at Catman who sat across from him "fought them."
"I didn't fight them, more like crawled away from." Catman corrected flexing his healed hand.
"Also this device that they used, a thousand years ahead of us." Mr. terrific said holding up a grey tube with golden accents.
"Enough!" ends Black Adam.
Black Adam points a finger at Oliver Queen, "Why not get your little Justice League together, hmm."
"Because our world is being threatened by a force that doesn't know the term surrender."
"Ahh" realized Deathstroke, "that's why you called for us because we're your very own suicide squad."
"No!" Oliver intercuts, "that isn't it at all."
"Think about it the majority of the group is made up of villains" Deathstroke said.
"Well I didn't know you had the bollocks to pull this off Arrow but howdy doo to you." Said Constantine making a slow clap.
Oliver stands from his chair. "Fine, all cards on the table then." Oliver said looking at everyone gathered around him.
"This is not a suicide squad but a covert undertaking, we're about to kill a world so ours can live, and the only people I know who don't have a problem with it are the people sitting at this table." Oliver looked every man in the eye.
"You in or out?"
