Christmas is near! Woohoo! The time for merry making and jolliness is almost upon us. Well, time to make some merry making on my own, by writing this chapter. Please enjoy!
Chapter 6: Justice for All
Batman was currently restrained inside a small field, unconscious. In front of him was the Injustice Gang, looking at him. Grundy was holding Batman's utility belt, so the Dark Knight won't get away.
"Wakey, wakey, Batman," Joker said as he slapped the Dark Knight across the face. Batman woke up and glared at the person in front of him.
"Joker," he said as he glared at his arch nemesis. "I should have known you'd be all on this."
"Really?" Joker said with mock surprise. "I must be falling into a rot."
The clown then turned around and looked at Luthor.
"You're not going to leave him like this, are you?" Joker demanded.
"And why is that?" Luthor asked calmly.
"Hello! He's still alive!" Joker exclaimed like it was the obvious answer.
"And he's going to stay like that until I see fit," Luthor argued.
"Lex, Lex, listen to someone who knows," Joker asked as he thrown an arm around Luthor's shoulders before pointing at the blaster placed on his chest. "Don't wait, do it now."
"You don't like the way I do things, then go!" Luthor exclaimed as he elbowed Joker. The clown glared at the bald man.
"And they say I'm crazy," Joker said as he walked to the back of the group.
Luthor looked around and saw everyone looking a bit worried and skeptical. Even Lydia seemed to be a bit troubled at having the Dark Knight in their base.
"What?" Luthor exclaimed with an annoyed tone. "Those restraints are pure titanium, he'll never get loose, and this stasis field will prevent the Martian from locating him."
He walked towards Batman and looked him directly in the eyes.
"Now tell me, Batman," he said in a business like tone. "You must have some kind of passkey or access code I could use against your friends. Where is it?"
Batman just stared at Luthor and smirked.
"Guess," he challenged, causing Luthor to become irritated.
"Grundy!" Luthor exclaimed, turning to the giant zombie. Grundy nodded and started prodding at one of the pockets. Suddenly, he was electrocuted. Everyone backed away as Grundy fell to the ground, his body smoking.
"I told you," Joker sang with a wicked grin.
"Shut up!" Luthor exclaimed angrily. "Bring that belt upstairs. I'll get it open."
Luthor walked towards the elevator as Star Sapphire used her powers to carry the belt.
"Freakshow, Grundy, watch him," Luthor ordered as the doors closed.
Batman narrowed his eyes as Freakshow, Grundy and Lydia stood in front of him.
"Grundy, how is Luthor paying you?" Batman suddenly asked.
"Money, lots of money," Grundy replied simply.
"More money than him?" Batman asked, gesturing at Freakshow.
"I don't know," Grundy said, confused.
"Look at all you have to put up with," Batman commented. "You should be paid more."
"Paid more than me?" Freakshow said and started laughing. "Please! He can get more money by cleaning at my circus!"
Freakshow walked towards a chair and sat down with Lydia floating behind him. Grundy and Batman stared at Freakshow as he started doing some card tricks.
"You heard that, right?" Batman said to Grundy. The zombie looked at Batman before at Freakshow. He then let out an angry growl.
Back to Luthor, he and Humanite were studying the belt, trying to find a way to open it. Humanite placed the belt on an X-ray table as Luthor studied the insides from the computer.
"Fascinating," Luthor commented as he pressed a button. Everyone watched as the table suddenly sent electricity to the belt, trying to open it. There was small explosion and the belt was still intact.
"Careful!" Star Sapphire exclaimed as the smoke cleared. "Just because you won't live to see old age doesn't mean the rest of us don't want to."
Before Luthor could retort, they heard a ruckus downstairs. After a few seconds of confusion, Luthor growled.
"I should have known," he muttered as everyone went to the elevator.
Batman watched as Grundy was swinging Freakshow around the room like a baton. Lydia was sending her small ghosts at Grundy, but that only seemed to be making the situation worst for Freakshow.
"Unhand me you freak!" Freakshow demanded.
"Take that back!" Grundy exclaimed as he punched Freakshow on the face.
Suddenly, the elevator opened and Luthor's eyes widened when he saw the three fighting.
"Knock it off!" Luthor exclaimed. Freakshow, Grundy and Lydia stopped. Grundy then gave Freakshow one more hit on the head before stopping. Luthor stomped towards them angrily. "You idiots are killing me faster than the Kryptonite!"
"Sorry," Freakshow and Grundy muttered.
Luthor then walked towards Batman, who still had a calm expression.
"You did this!" he accused. Batman just glared at him. "Well it won't happen again. Cheetah!"
Cheetah sauntered towards Batman as Luthor walked back to the elevator.
"Takeover here. If our friend causes anymore trouble, gag him!" he ordered as the others entered the elevator.
Cheetah showed Batman her claws before hissing. Batman just narrowed his eyes, thinking of a plan.
Stryker's Island…
Superman, Flash and Phantom were in the interrogation room, looking at Copperhead, who was handcuffed and had his gloves and cobra head removed.
"I told you, I don't know anything," Copperhead said for the umpteenth time. "I'm just an innocent victim-"
"Of unfortunate circumstances," Flash finished with a bored tone. "We know."
"Though define innocent," Danny said, trying not to yawn. "You were hired to kill us. I mean, what's so innocent about that?"
Superman then grabbed Copperhead by the shirt and slammed him to the wall.
"Copperhead," he said, trying to sound intimidating. "When are you going to get some sense and tell us where Luthor is?"
"Oooh," Copperhead said with a smirk. "This must be the part where I get so scared, I spill my guts."
"I'm warning you," Superman said as he raised his fist.
"What you gonna do, Boy Scout?" Copperhead taunted. "Give me a wedgie? Soil my pants?"
Danny sighed and walked towards Superman and Copperhead. He put a hand on Superman's shoulder, causing the Man of Steel to turn.
"I'll handle this, Sups," he said as Copperhead slide down the ground. "You just sit back and relax."
Danny then looked at Copperhead and grinned, confusing the villain.
"C'mon now, Copperhead," Danny said as he grabbed the villain by the shoulder and helped him up. "Let's not make this harder than it already is. Just tell us where Luthor is and you won't get hurt."
"What you gonna do, kid?" Copperhead taunted.
"This," Danny said with a creepy smile.
Before anyone could react, Danny turned intangible and went inside Copperhead. The villain's eyes glowed green and suddenly stood up. Flash and Superman looked at Copperhead with a confused expression before the villain suddenly ran towards a wall repeatedly.
After that, Copperhead ran around the room, wiggling his tongue around like a crazy person. He then banged his head on the table multiple times. Copperhead's head then landed on the table with a loud thud.
"What just happened?" Flash asked as Danny floated out of Copperhead's unconscious body.
"…I think I overdid it…" Danny said with sheepish expression. "Sorry…"
"G-guards!" Superman said, getting over his shock. The door opened and two guards entered the room and looked at Copperhead.
"What happened?" one of the guards asked as they grabbed Copperhead.
"He tripped on his tail and hit his head on the table," Danny replied.
"Okay…" the guard said as they carried Copperhead away. Superman and Flash looked at Danny, who rubbed the back of his neck.
"That went well," Flash commented as they kept looking at Danny.
"What? I warned him," he said with a shrug.
"How does Batman do it?" Superman said with sigh.
Metropolis…
"And then what happened?" Batman asked as Cheetah paced in front of him.
"My research opened a lot of doors, opened different worlds," Cheetah said. "There were so much to discover."
"But so little funding," Batman finished.
"You heard about that, huh," Cheetah said with a sad tone.
"There weren't enough test subjects, so you experimented on yourself."
"And now I'm a freak," Cheetah said sadly as she gestured at herself.
"I don't see a freak," Batman said, getting Cheetah's attention. "I see a woman who would risk everything for a cause she believes in."
"How do you know so much about me?" Cheetah asked as she gazed ay Batman.
"Let's just say that cats aren't the only curious," Batman said with a devious smirk.
Cheetah smirked as she entered the stasis field, stroking Batman's chin.
"Too much curiosity could be dangerous," she said as she grabbed Batman's chin.
"Maybe I like danger," Batman said.
"Do you?"
"Try me."
Cheetah smirked as she pushed her lips to Batman's, wrapping her arms around his neck. Meanwhile, Lex and Humanite were working on opening the utility belt while Joker watched them.
"It's awfully quiet down there," Joker said as he sat down on a revolving chair.
"Forget it," Luthor said, not turning to face Joker. "You're not going down there."
"C'mon Lexy!" Joker exclaimed as he wheeled his way towards Luthor, spinning around. "Where's your sense of fun! Besides, it won't cause you a penny!"
Luthor just sigh and turned to Humanite.
"Go and relieve Cheetah of their duty," he ordered.
"Can't you send Grundy?" Humanite said.
"Now!" Luthor exclaimed. Humanite just glared at Luthor before walking away.
"It's your funeral," Humanite muttered loud enough for Luthor to hear.
Luthor ignored him and went back to his work as Joker leaned on the computer. After pressing some buttons and turning a knob, the lights suddenly turned off. They turned to the table as the belt was electrocuted again, this time it didn't explode. Once the electricity was gone, the pockets suddenly opened.
"At last!" Luthor exclaimed as he rushed towards the belt and started emptying the contents, looking at the strange devices and gadgets.
"What are you looking for?" Joker asked as he wheeled towards Luthor and grabbed a random batarang. "Bat car keys? Bat breath mint?"
He rolled away and threw the batarang, causing it to wedge on a random crates. The batarang suddenly started beeping.
"Uh oh," Joker muttered.
Before he could react, the batarang exploded, destroying the crate. Luthor managed to duck as the wood and splinter flew around the room as Joker spun around the chair, not a scratch on him.
"Careful you idiot!" Luthor exclaimed angrily. He looked back to the stuff and finally found what he was looking for. "Aha! This is it!"
"What's that?" Joker asked, looking over Luthor's shoulder with a ludicrous expression.
"The key to our victory," Luthor said as he held the small device on his hand.
Meanwhile, Humanite was sitting on a wooden chair, reading a science magazine. Batman was looking at him with a calculative expression.
"Tell me, Humanite," he said. "Why are you working for Luthor. I don't see you as the hiring kind of guy."
"Let's say I'm going to use the money for cultural entertainment," Humanite said, not taking his eyes off the magazine.
"How about I offer you double of what Luthor is paying?" Batman suggested. Humanite turned to Batman with an interested expression.
"I'm listening."
Stryker's Prison…
Danny was floating next to Flash as they tried to think where Luthor could be hiding. The two were currently heading to the Javelin where the others were gathered.
"How about LexCorp?" Danny suggested.
"Nah, too obvious," Flash said.
"An abandoned warehouse?"
"Too simple."
"A base to the moon?"
"Too expensive."
"…I'm out," Danny said with a sigh. "He could be anywhere in Metropolis, maybe even outside Metropolis."
"Guess we just wait," Flash said with a shrug.
Suddenly, their communicator beeped. They stopped as they heard an SOS from J'onn before he went silent.
"J'onn?" Danny asked with a worried expression. "Can you hear me? J'onn!"
No answer. Danny and Flash looked at each other before running towards the others.
"You guys got that, right?" Danny asked, looking at his teammates. "J'onn sounded the alarms."
"There's trouble up there," Hawkgirl said. "I can feel it."
"Then let's go," Green Lantern said. The others entered the Javelin and took off towards the Watchtower.
Once they were there, they quickly exited the Javelin. Almost immediately they saw J'onn on the ground, unconscious.
Flash dashed towards the alien tried to wake him up. Everyone gathered around him with worried expressions. Green Lantern used his ring to see what's wrong with J'onn.
"He's out cold," he said, looking at the others.
"But what could have done this to him?" Wonder Woman asked as Superman carried J'onn.
"I'll take him to the medical bay," he said as he started flying towards the door. "You guys go find Batman."
Everyone nodded as they exited the hangar. No one noticed the beeping case that was behind their equipment.
"Bats?" Danny called as he phased from room to room. "Hello? Calling Dark Knight? I got this extremely hard crossword puzzle with your name on it."
Danny waited but didn't get a reply. He quickly flew towards the medical bay. He saw Green Lantern and Hawkgirl in front of him.
"Couldn't find him," he said as he landed next to them. "You guys had any luck?"
"Couldn't find him," Green Lantern said as they entered the medical bay where the others were standing in front of the bed where J'onn was.
"We looked everywhere," Hawkgirl announced as they landed next to them. "Batman's gone."
"And so is the shuttle," Green Lantern added.
Before anyone else could say anything, the Watchtower's phone started beeping. They all looked at the phone. Wonder Woman was the closest so she answered it.
"That must be him," she said as she answered the phone. "Hello? Batman?"
Wonder Woman stayed silent, her expression confused at first before her eyes widened. She tried to ask what the person on the other line meant, but she got cut off.
"What did he say?" Superman asked as he looked at Wonder Woman.
"That wasn't Batman," Wonder Woman said with a worried expression. "It was someone saying that there's a bomb in the Watchtower."
"Is that a prank call?" Danny asked with a raised eyebrow. "Cause it is not funny."
"No, this is serious," Superman said. "That's a secure line."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Green Lantern said as his body started glowing. "Spread out and find it!"
Everyone quickly spread out and started searching the entire Watchtower. Superman used his X-ray vision to see through the walls, Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl were searching the upper levels, Danny was phasing through the ground to look for it, Green Lantern was scanning the area for the bomb and Flash was running around the tower, looking for the bomb.
"I've found something!" Green Lantern said through his communicator as he spotted some footprints. "A thermal pattern."
He followed the thermal pattern towards their equipment and found a yellow case that had handprints on it.
"I found it!" Green Lantern exclaimed. "Flash!"
"I'm on it!" Flash said as he appeared near the case and grabbed it.
He dashed towards the hangar doors as Superman opened it. Flash threw the case outside as far as he can. Once it was a few feet away, the bomb exploded. The entire Watchtower shook a bit by the shockwave. Everyone gathered around the hangar door, looking somewhat relieve.
"That was a bit close," Danny commented after a few minutes of silence. "Another minute and you'd guys would have been ghosts."
No one commented.
"…Let's go check on J'onn," Danny suggested, getting uncomfortable with the atmosphere.
They all went to the medical bay and saw J'onn still recovering. Hawkgirl walked towards the phone and tried to contact their mystery caller. When it failed, she decided to contact Batman.
"Batman is still not responding," Hawkgirl said after a few minutes of trying.
Suddenly, J'onn stirred a bit and groaned.
"J'onn," Danny said with a relieve grin. "What happened to you?"
"It was Grundy, Star Sapphire and the Shade," J'onn replied weakly. "I saw them coming, but then everything went black."
"How could they have gotten in?" Wonder Woman asked.
"Only one way," Green Lantern guessed. "With Batman's transmitter."
"And if they have that," Danny said with a shock expression.
"That means they have Batman," Superman finished gravely.
Metropolis…
"Aww poo…" Joker said with a disappointed look on his face, leaning on the T.V. he was using to show Batman the supposed end of the Justice League. He pushed the T.V. aside, breaking it.
"But at least I'll have my fun," Joker said with a wicked grin as he pulled out a knife and walked towards Batman.
He grabbed Batman's face and was about to cut him when the Dark Knight head butted him. Joker fell on his butt, holding his head.
"That's not funny!" he growled as he stood up and walked towards Batman with an angry expression. Suddenly, he felt someone grabbed his arm and yank him back. He turned and saw Grundy, who somehow managed to sneak up behind him.
"Luthor not want you alone with him," Grundy said, looking at Joker.
"C'mon, Grundy, old pal," Joker said, trying to get his arm back. "What's a couple of nicks between friends?"
"Go away," Grundy said, his gaze hardening.
Joker yanked his arm away and walked towards the elevator, fixing his suit and muttering under his breath. Grundy then walked towards Batman.
"Thanks," Batman said in a dry voice. "If you hadn't come along when you did…could I have some water?"
Grundy just looked at Batman before he walked towards a water dispenser and filled out a cup. He lumbered back to Batman and tilted the cup to Batman's mouth so he could drink. Once he was done, Batman faced upward and spat the water towards the stasis field.
When the water hit it, the thing sent a small explosion and showed Batman with sparks. Batman gave the shock Grundy a smirk.
"Thanks," he said before he contacted J'onn with his mind.
"Uh oh…" Grundy said as he ran towards the elevator.
Meanwhile, Luthor was lying on the table, wearing a white shirt and black underpants. Humanite was dressed in a lab coat, thick gloves and goggles, running from room to room to complete his little science project for Luthor.
Everyone, except Joker who wasn't in the room, watched as Humanite pulled levers and knobs, jumping from one place to another. Luthor was breathing nervously as the table was suddenly lifted to the ground.
Humanite then pulled another lever and Luthor was suddenly zapped with electricity. He screamed as he was lifted to the air. Humanite pushed a button and green plating appeared on top and below him. Humanite increased the power as the two plating tried to connect, armoring Luthor.
After a few minutes and a few jolts of electricity, Luthor slowly went down on the table, wearing green chest armor, his body smoking.
"Will he be alright?" Cheetah asked as Humanite removed his coat and gloves.
"This containment suit would stabilize his condition," Humanite replied. "The next few minutes will tell."
"You really are a freak of science," Freakshow said with a crazy grin. "Do you know anything about circus shows?"
Before Humanite decided whether to give a respond to that, Grundy came barging in, looking worried.
"Mr. Luthor!" he exclaimed. "Batman broke that static…thing!"
"He probably already contacted the Martian!" Humanite guessed. "They'll be here soon."
"What do we do?" Grundy asked.
"Don't panic," Luthor said as he stood up from the table, feeling good as new. "We'll be ready for them. After we find the traitor."
Everyone stopped called when he said that. They all turned to Luthor with questioning looks in their faces.
"Traitor?" Cheetah asked, confused.
"Think about it," Luthor said as he walked towards the computer. "The only way they could have found the bomb was if someone has told them; one of us. Fortunately, this place still has functioning surveillance cameras."
He picked up the remote and pressed a button. The screen went on, showing different angles around the room where Batman was restrained. They all watched and waited as Cheetah suddenly entered the screen, walking towards Batman, entering the stasis field.
Everyone watched as Cheetah wrapped her arms around Batman's neck and kissed him passionately on the lips. Everyone gasped and turned to the shocked Cheetah, backing away from her.
"What…no!" she sputtered, looking at them. "I wouldn't! You can't think-"
"Get her!" Luthor ordered, pointing at the traitor.
Cheetah acted quickly; she grabbed Shade and threw towards Star Sapphire and Shade and jumped over Grundy, using him as a catapult. She ran towards the elevator and pressed the button, looking back to make sure they weren't near her. When the doors opened, she turned and found herself in front of Joker.
"Hello kitty," he said as he grabbed Cheetah by the wrist, shocking her with his buzzer. Cheetah fell to the ground, unconscious. "And they say I'm not a team player."
Everyone gathered around the unconscious villainess.
"Grundy, the pretty kitty is all yours," Luthor said to Grundy.
Grundy nodded as Cheetah rubbed her head. Grundy then grabbed her by the ruff of her neck and dragged her away.
"No! Please wait!" she exclaimed as the elevator door closed. "It wasn't me! I swear!"
"Now we wait," Luthor said with a smirk.
Later…
The Justice League were standing on top of a building that was in front of an abandoned movie theater.
"There," J'onn said as he pointed at the building. "Batman is in that building, and so are the rest of them."
"So it's a hostage situation," Green Lantern said. "They may use him as a shield."
"Not unless I get him," J'onn said as he suddenly turned intangible and sunk down the floor before anyone could stop him.
"Should I follow him?" Danny asked, looking at Superman.
"It's too dangerous," Superman said. "We just wait."
Danny nodded, though he wasn't happy about it, neither was Hawkgirl. Inside the building, Humanite was guarding Batman, holding a small pole. J'onn slowly phased through the floor and saw Batman restrained.
"Batman!" he whispered.
Batman turned to where J'onn was with wide eyes.
"J'onn, wait!"
Too late; Humanite saw him and activated his pole as J'onn charged. The pole suddenly shocked J'onn, causing him to scream before falling unconscious. Luthor and the others saw the whole thing through security.
"It has begun," Luthor said, clenching a fist.
Outside, everyone one waited for J'onn to come out with Batman. After a while, Hawkgirl had enough.
"Time's up," Hawkgirl said, holding her mace. "Now we do it my way."
"Fine by me," Danny said with a grin. He followed Hawkgirl, who flew towards the building.
She busted through the door with Flash and Danny Phantom behind her, Green Lantern busted through the walls with Wonder Woman behind him and Superman flew through the window. They all charged at the waiting villains in front of them.
Star Sapphire fired at Flash, blasting him towards Danny and Hawkgirl. Danny managed to turn intangible, but Hawkgirl wasn't so lucky; the two slammed into each other. Star Sapphire was about to fire again when a green blast narrowly miss them. She looked up and saw Green Lantern aiming his ring at them. The villainess smirked as she flew up towards Green Lantern.
Superman charged at Grundy and speared him towards the wall. Shade turned and saw Hawkgirl charging towards them, her mace crackling with electricity. The Shade just smirked as he raised his Nightstick at her and fired a blanket of shadow towards her, trapping her. She flew towards a statue of two twins.
"One down," he said as he tilted his hat. Suddenly, a lasso on top of him and grabbed his lasso. He and Joker looked up and saw Wonder Woman floating above them, catching the Nightstick.
She landed between them as Joker ran away. Shade tried to get his stick back, only to get hit by the gut and a whacked on the head. Wonder Woman then dropped the Nightstick and threw her lasso towards Joker, stopping him on his track. As Wonder Woman pulled Joker towards her, the Clown Prince of Crime turned around and grabbed something in his jacket.
"Catch!" he exclaimed as he threw a doll at Wonder Woman, who caught it with a confuse expression.
"Momma!" the doll said before it exploded, blasting Wonder Woman away. Joker smirked at his victory, but it was short lived when Superman and Grundy came barging behind him, knocking him off his feet.
Danny flew towards Freakshow and tackled him towards the ground. He was about to punch him when Lydia tackled him away from her master. Freakshow stood up and dusted himself before walking towards the trapped halfa.
"Now, how about you be a good little minion and look into the orb," he said as he lowered the glowing orb in front of Danny.
Danny closed his eyes and turned his head away so he wouldn't look at the orb. Lydia grabbed Danny's face and tried to face it towards the orb. She then used her small tattoos to force Danny's eyes to open.
"There's no use fighting it, minion," Freakshow said as Danny desperately tried to keep his eyes close. "Just look at the orb and be one of my freaks again."
Danny suddenly grinned.
"Look at the orb?" he repeated as his eyes started glowing. "Why not?"
He opened his eyes, which were glowing brightly. He fired an Ecto-vision towards the orb, shattering it. Freakshow stared at his precious orb in shock as it fell towards the ground.
"No!" Freakshow exclaimed in despair as he kneeled to the ground and started gathering the shattered bits. "Not again! I just had this fixed!"
Danny used the distraction to blast Lydia off him with his Ecto-vision before he charged at Freakshow and kicked him away.
"Take that, you weirdo," Danny said with a grin.
Superman was punching Grundy and dodging the zombie's punches. Grundy stumbled down and landed next to a giant duck. He grabbed the duck and threw it towards Superman, who broke it in half with his fist.
The upper part of the duck was flying towards Star Sapphire and Green Lantern, who were still fighting.
"Duck!" Green Lantern warned as he pointed something behind her. Star Sapphire smirk, thinking that she wouldn't fall for the oldest trick in the book. She was about to fire when a duck suddenly hit her from behind, sending her towards the ground. Green Lantern winced. "I tried to warn her."
Behind him, Shade managed to stand on his feet again. He grabbed his Nightstick and aimed it at Green Lantern. Before he could fire, Flash appeared next to him.
"Lights out, Shade!" he said as he punched Shade away.
Shade stumbled towards Hawkgirl, who grabbed his Nightstick and used it to jab him on the gut and whacked him on the head. She then broke the Nightstick in half. Flash then saw Joker standing up, so he charged at him.
Joker noticed him so he grabbed some marbles from his pocket and threw them to the ground. When Flash accidentally stepped on them, they exploded and sent him flying towards a wall, knocking him out.
Joker smirked as he looked at Flash. He suddenly felt someone tapping on his shoulder. He turned and saw Danny Phantom with his hand glowing.
"Boo," he said as he blasted the clown towards a pillar. Joker slammed on the pillar and fell on the floor, groaning.
Superman then punched Grundy towards wall. He punched the zombie until the wall broke apart. Grundy fell on the ground, half-conscious.
"Enough!" Superman said, looking at Grundy. "Now tell me, where's Luthor?"
"Right here," a voice said behind him. Before Superman could react, a green beam hit him from behind. He suddenly felt weak, like he was blasted with Kryptonite. "And I'm going to enjoy every moment of this.
He looked behind him and saw Lex Luthor wearing green and purple armor, looking healthy as a horse.
"You look surprise, Superman" Lex commented as he walked towards the Man of Steel. "This is a basic rule of business; turn your enemy's weakness into a strength!"
He fired his Kryptonite blasts at Superman, causing him to scream in pain. Luthor was so busy; he didn't notice Humanite walking towards him.
"Of course, that might be a lesson you won't live to appreciate," he said.
"Neither will you, Lex," Humanite said as he held his electric staff.
He then electrocuted Luthor from behind. Luthor screamed in pain as electricity course through his armor. After Humanite was done, Luthor turned around and glared at Humanite.
"Et tu, Humanite?" he said before he fainted.
"Freeze!" Green Lantern exclaimed as he and the others appeared in front of the hole.
"I surrender," Humanite said simply as he dropped his weapon and raised his hands.
"Well that was easy," Danny commented. "Why can't all bad guys be like that?"
Joker, who had recovered from Danny's attack, was hiding behind a pillar, seeing that most of his teammates were beaten.
"Woopsie, time to run!" he said. He was about to run when he remembered something important. "But there's still unfinished business to be done!"
He pulled put a gun from his jacket and dashed towards the elevator, making sure no one saw him. Once he there, he walked towards the broken stasis field, only to find Batman gone.
"What?" he exclaimed wildly as he looked around the room, not noticing the giant shadow behind him.
When he turned around, Joker found himself face to face to Batman, who was the exact opposite of restrained. He quickly aimed the gun towards Batman, but the Dark Knight simply swatted it out of his hand. Joker tried to punch him, but Batman caught it and punched Joker.
"How'd you got out?" Joker demanded, rubbing his jaw.
"I could have escaped anytime I wanted, but I thought I'd stick around and keep an eye on you clowns," he said as he punched Joker at the face again.
Joker stumbled back with a dazed expression. He then sluggishly walked towards Batman.
"You're dethhhhpicable!" he said with his tongue out before he passed out.
Batman just smirked.
Later…
The Justice League were lined outside the movie theater as the bad guys were taken inside the back of a police truck, except for Lydia, who was doing time in the Fenton Thermos. Danny watched as Lex Luthor was dragged towards the other beaten villains. Humanite was calmly walking behind the policemen when he suddenly stopped in front of Batman.
"Wait," he said as he looked at Batman. "You'll keep our bargain?"
"Yes," Batman said without hesitation. "Double of what Luthor was paying you."
Humanite smirked with a satisfied expression before following the police.
"What was that about?" Flash asked as they looked at Batman, who just smirked in reply.
"You know, it's kinda scary when you smile," Danny commented. "By the way, what's the deal with the Cheetah girl?"
They all looked at Cheetah, who was looking at Batman with a hurt expression before the doors closed.
"Who knows?" Flash said with a shrug. "Bat's must have done something to her."
"Who knew Batman has a way with the ladies," Danny commented, shaking his head. "Maybe you can learn a thing or two from him, Flash."
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?"
A Few Days Later…
Lex Luthor, who was wearing a containment suit that was stopping his illness, was angrily pacing around his room, listening to the opera in the next room. Growling, he ran towards the wall and started slamming his fist on it.
"Humanite!" he exclaimed angrily. "You'll pay for this you turncoat! Do you hear me? You'll pay!"
Humanite just ignored him and continued watching the opera, savoring the music. Once the show was over, the singer bowed as the network's logo appeared on the screen.
"This program was made possible by grant by the Ultra Humanite, and viewers like you," the show said as Humanite smiled with a satisfied expression.

Snowleopard0- Thanks. And Happy Holidays.
The Keeper of Worlds- Thanks. So that what a rogue means…Well, I kinda already knew…but thanks for telling!
KodiakWolfe13- No problem. And thanks, it wasn't easy making them long. And whenever Joker is involve, it is never good. Awesome, but not good.
vampireharry the 2-Ah yes, those two would be an awesome comedy duo of sibling-like relationships.
andrea- I will continue the story beyond Thanksgiving, so don't worry!
BLACK MAS- Well wait no more!..Actually, you have to wait for the other chapters…so just wait, but not for all of them, just one at a time.
newboy- Thanks. Yes, Reign Storm hasn't happened yet, so it will in this story. Also, the JL won't be angry at Freakshow, yet. That's in the future. Also, Vlad is a little overconfident, and sometimes crazy, so that's why he always loses. Also, Vlad will only look at his teammates as a threat and Danny as the weak link, so he will still be underestimating him, until he does something awesome to make Vlad take him seriously. Also, Vlad would probably guessed GL and Superman's ID, since they don't wear masks and stuff. How people never know who Superman really is will be a mystery to me. Anyway, thanks for the review, gave me a lot to ponder.
Danny angel- me too. I would watch that episode if there is nothing to watch.
Rhatch89- Thanks.
toothless20- Nah…Batman never shows his reaction, not even in private. Maybe he'll do one of those older figure moments with Danny, where he tells him to never give up or something. Though, you are right that the GiW, and Vlad, would cover all of his heroic deeds to make him look evil.
Guest- Why thank you!
Belle Lettere- Well, this is the first story of that idea. So I'm lucky! Also, I will update. Not frequently, but surely.
ShatteredPrime1994- Future Danny will appear in future chapters in the future. Don't try to understand that. Hehehe.
Axil 2.0-…I think you forgot to type your review…
kidcraxy- I will, don't worry.
ilover145- Thanks. And the initiation and Kid Stuff could probably work better in the JLU arc, where there are a lot of members with fun personalities. And they will act around him like he's normal…well, normal in their book. Though some of them might be a little creeped out by his overshadowing powers.
Well, that's all the time I have. I need to finish my homework and stuff. Also, before I leave, can I change the pairing? I know I promised Danny and Supergirl, but I think that's a little overdone. And I can't find an idea of them meeting in the story that you guys will like. Just wanted to ask, don't want to disappoint you guys.
Anyway, don't forget to enjoy and leave a review. Also, it's almost Christmas, so just enjoy your time with your family. See you guys later, and Happy Holidays!
