I do not own any rights to the Justice League series. I am just writing this story because I liked the idea of creating my own OC character that would interact with the Justice League Unlimited Story line.
Ch. 6 Secret Ability
After hearing what Green Lantern said Xander glanced around the valley and noticed all the damage the spar had caused. Green Lantern watched as Xander sat down on the ground in a meditative position closing his eyes. Green Lantern watched as Xander opened his eyes that had started to glow, and saw the grass growing around the areas that were littered in burns and sunk in sections from the fight. Then trees started to grow in spots where others had been ripped up out of the ground. When he looked back at Xander, he noticed that Xander's face was scrunched up in deep concentration and was covered in sweat. "Is he causing the foliage to regrow?" asked Captain Atom as he walked over with Superman after they noticed the changes going on around them. "I believe so because this didn't start happening until he started meditating." Green Lantern replied.
After 30 minutes had passed Xander's eyes quit glowing, and the valley looked almost like nothing had ever happened there. Xander blinked his eyes to look around as he stood up. "Good as new" Xander said with a smile before the others watched as his eyes rolled up and he started to fall only for Superman to catch him. As Superman went to sit Xander down the sounds of helicopters were approaching. A minute later two helicopters landed with a few soldiers getting off along with General McKnight and Amanda Waller. "Good job Captain. What do you think of Xander and his abilities?" asked McKnight. "He is strong, but lacks experience and has no hand to hand combat abilities. He relies on his magic strongly, and that could get him killed." Captain Atom replied without hesitation.
"I am assuming that Xander was able to regrow the landscape to replace what was destroyed." said Amanda. "I believe so you would have to ask Green Lantern he was with Xander just before the landscape started changing." replied Captain Atom. Amanda glanced over at Green Lantern and Superman, and said "We have a temporary base established a couple of miles away from here that is equipped with a full medical service station we could take Xander there to allow him to rest, and recover from his battle with Captain Atom." "Fine we will take him to the station only until he regains consciousness, then I will take him to Metropolis." said Superman. "Why are you taking him to Metropolis?" asked McKnight. "Because Xander was going to Metropolis, then he was planning to travel to Jump City to continue with his exploration of the world." Superman replied as he picked Xander up. McKnight and Amanda returned to the helicopters with the soldiers and took off with Captain Atom, Green Lantern, and Superman following them back to the base.
Twenty minutes later the group was in the medical wing of the base with a couple of the doctors leaning over Xander's body. "Make sure to take a couple of blood samples like Mr. Drake asked for." said one of the doctors to the other while they were getting a reading on his blood pressure. The other doctor immediately pulled three vials of blood for later examination. "So is it true what they were saying about this guy almost matching Captain Atom in power?" asked one of the guards watching the room to make sure no one else got into the room. "Some of the others were that were able to see the monitors said that he was slowly starting to overpower the Captain." said the other guard. "Well from the looks of the guy you would never guess that he would be able to pull something like that off. I mean look at him he doesn't have the build of a weightlifter, and he looks more like a teenager without any muscle on him." said the other guard.
Meanwhile back in the computer service tent Mr. Drake was showing the others the playback from the fight from video surveillance drones that had been actively recording Xander and Captain Atom. "Well the kid sure does have a lot of power, but it doesn't seem that he has the ability to control it." said Green Lantern as he watched the video. "From my point of view it looks like Captain Atom would have won in the end from experience. I mean look the kid has no formal hand-to-hand combat experience, and his powers seem to be the only reason that he was able to keep up with the Captain." said McKnight. "Whenever Xander regains consciousness I would like to speak with him before you take him to Metropolis. If you don't mind Superman." Amanda said after watching the last little bit of the fight. "I have no problem with you speaking with Xander whenever he regains consciousness. It's just his opinion if he wishes to talk to you before he is ready to leave." Superman replied.
Three hours later over the intercom speakers in the computer room a doctor speaks "From the scans of the monitors the patient should be waking up any minute now, and I believe he would react better if he saw people that he recognized other than people that look like they were about to surgically work on him." "We are heading that way now." said Amanda. A couple of minutes later they arrived at the medical wing, and when they entered the room they saw Xander slowly starting to sit up. "Xander I would like to speak with you about coming back here sometime, and working with us. I am not asking you to join the military full time, but with your abilities you would be a valuable asset to us. Though you would first have to go through the normal field training." said General McKnight as soon as Xander glanced in his direction.
"Xander while I partly agree with the General I think your talents would be best suited by working for the government." said Mr. Drake. "Leave the man alone. Xander I was going to ask if it would be possible for you to visit with my new organization that I am heading called Golden Phoenix from time to time whenever you feel like it I just want your input on a few things." said Amanda as she glared at McKnight and Drake. "I would rather not work for the government or military, but I don't see a problem with visiting your organization just to talk." Xander said after thinking it over for a minute. "You should be able to contact me through Batman since he always seems to know where I am, and how to contact me." said Amanda as she walked out the door heading for the airstrip. Xander then looked at Superman and said "I was planning to head to Metropolis before I was distracted, so would it be possible for you to lead me there?" "Yes I can lead you to Metropolis. I was already going to ask you to come with me anyway." Superman replied with a smile.
An hour later just after being released by the doctors Superman and Xander flew off toward Metropolis while Green Lantern was teleported back to the Watchtower. "So did you get the blood samples to test?" Drake asked the doctors. "Yes, and we are running a DNA analysis to see if anything is unusual about the blood sample." replied one of the doctors. "Alert me when your analysis is done." Drake replied as he left to head to speak with General McKnight and Captain Atom.
Drake walk into the conference room and found McKnight and Captain Atom both already talking. " -olding back against me during the fight. I am 100% positive that Xander was still holding back against me." Captain Atom told McKnight just as Drake walked in. "About how much of his power would you say that he was holding back?" asked Drake. "That would be unknown I heard him say seal release two during our fight as the highest release of his power, but as to how many more seals that he has on him to restrain his power I can only guess at." Captain Atom replied. "Any ideas on how to get him to work for us?" asked McKnight. "There doesn't seem to be anyway to force him to work for us so the best idea would be to get him to come to us," said Drake. 'He will work for me one way or another.' Drake thought darkly.
"No, Senator. Xander has not agreed to join Project Golden Phoenix, but he has agreed to return and talk with the group sometime within two to three weeks." said Amanda Waller who is currently on a private jet heading back to Washington D. C.. "So how did the fight between Xander and Captain Atom go?" asked the Senator on the computer screen. "Better than expected. Xander is a little rough around the edges, but from what Captain Atom said Xander was still holding back his full capabilities during their fight." Amanda replied. "Do you know where he is heading next?" asked the Senator. "Yes, he said he was leaving with Superman to head for Metropolis." said Amanda. "We will be waiting for the full briefing at the council room." said the Senator as the computer screen went black. 'I wonder if Xander could be convinced to work with us?' thought Amanda as she looked out the window of the jet as it flew above the clouds.
There's Ch.6, I hope you like the story line so far. Feel free to leave comments on anything that I could do to make this story better.
