(In the Justice League Headquarters)

Batman was currently in a conversation with Supergirl in regards to her current mission. He told her "Don't worry. He will eventually join us but for now you will just have to observe him for the time being. I already looked into him and there is not much files on him. You will have to collect data and know more things about him. Even if for now he doesn't pose a threat, he may eventually turn and we will have to take countermeasures."

Supergirl didn't think there was a chance Lewis would turn even though she only spent a little bit of time with him She told Batman "Okay, I'll do my best" and flew away.

Batman sighed and thought to himself 'Something doesn't feel right. I feel as if I'm missing a key detail'. His train of thought was interrupted when Superman came inside the room. "You doing alright?" Superman asked Batman. He replied with "It's nothing. I will have to do some digging about the new guy." He walked past Superman and out of the room.

I was walking along the sidewalk, headed to Gotham High when Supergirl appeared in front me. She smiled and said in her cheery voice "Good morning! I thought that since we were both headed to Gotham High we might as well walk there together."

I didn't hate her company so I just said "I don't mind". She instantly smiled and started to walk beside me. Near the destination she asked me "Hey, I'm really curious, why won't you join the league?

I thought it would help her give up on recruiting me so I gave her my honest answer.

I said "Kara, I am not a hero and never will be. You and the rest of the league can take care of Darkseid, you don't need my help."

We were in front of the school when Kara whispered in a quiet voice but enough for me to hear "Well you're my hero..." I instantly stopped the moment I head her. I was genuinely surprised from her words. Nobody ever told me something like that.

The school bell rung signifying that classes were about to begin. She smiled at me and took one of my hands. She said "Let's go already" and led the way to our classroom.

(Batman's P.O.V)

He was using the bat computer gathering any information that may lead to Lewis. He then saw something that caught his eye. '8 years ago, Joker attacked a laboratory near the outskirts of Gotham and eventually a fire started in the building'. As batman read that article he remembered the events that transpired that night.He then thought to himself 'The JLP serum... He should never know about this'.

(Lewis' P.O.V)

it's been two weeks since Supergirl has been 'observing' me and I can't believe I'm saying this but she certainly has an effect on me and I'm not quite sure how I feel about that.

I'm in the library at the moment reading some books when I felt a sudden earthquake erupt. The earthquake was powerful enough to shake the tables, chairs, and move the books out of the shelves but it only lasted for about half a minute. I felt something was incredibly wrong so I quickly got out of the library trying to find Kara. After searching for about 10 minutes without any luck I started to panic a bit which is unlike me. It was then the ring Batman gave me started to glow a bright yellow. As soon I saw the light I already knew what was going on, Darkseid is here.

(Supergirl's P. O. V)

I dashed out of the school as soon as I felt the earthquake. I knew something was happening so I immediately went straight to the Justice League Headquarters to meet up with the other heroes. As I entered the briefing room their stood the league's core members getting ready. Batman went towards me and asked me to help with the fight. He said that Darkseid has come and is looking much stronger than what he was before. I told him that I was going to fly back to Gotham High to go and get Lewis and in which he told me "No, I'll handle that. Stay with the other members and keep Darkseid busy". I couldn't say no after seeing his very determined look so I just agreed and asked him to tell Lewis that I was waiting for him.

(Lewis' P. O. V)

I was near the Justice League Headquarters when Batman suddenly came out of nowhere and appeared in front of me. I asked him in a demanding tone "Where is Kara?". Batman answered with "She's with the rest of the league fighting Darkseid". I shouted "No! Something is different with Darkseid from before. He has gotten immensely stronger and can kill all of you easily". Batman smirked and told me "That's why I'm here talking to you". At this point I was very confused with myself. I don't know why I was so worried about these 'heroes' that I bothered to warn them. I don't know what Kara means to me and I'm not sure if I want to know of the answer to that. I told Batman in a loud tone "I'm sorry, I can't help out. I can't betray my father, he was the only person that raised me and I don't want his story to be forgotten." Batman frowned a bit and sighed. He threw an earpiece and said "Stay close that's all I'm asking". He hurriedly turned around and slid into his car and in a matter of seconds he was gone. I was now alone and had time to think what I needed to do.

(Supergirl's P. O. V)

Darkseid is just toying with us and I don't think we can last much longer. We need a plan but it seems like we just can't come up with anything. One thing for sure though is that we need Lewis to help out in the battle. We are losing members one after the other and at this rate Darkseid will win. In the distance I can hear the bat mobile charging in. Batman yells "Green Lantern keep him busy" in which the lantern replies with a nod. The bat mobile stops in front of Superman and Wonder Woman. I can see them talking for a bit and then agreeing on something but I can't hear because of the damage done to me. They quickly went in my direction and briefed me in on what the plan was going to be. The plan wasn't rock solid but it was the only option we had.

Darkseid threw the Green Lantern into the ground which looked to be unconscious. Me, Superman, and Wonder Woman worked together and surrounded Darkseid. We sent Darkseid a flurry of punch combos that landed but it seems our efforts were futile as it did not seem like he was affected at all and was even unfazed. He catched Superman and Wonderwoman's fist and smashed them into each other. Without me even noticing he grabbed my throat effectively choking me.

(Lewis' P. O. V)

I'm near the place where the battle is currently taking place and I'm just standing there unsure what to do. I can hear them which makes me bite my lip. This situation is driving me crazy. It was then I heard Supergirl scream out in pain. I immediately looked in the direction it came from. I fell on my knees as I keep hearing her. My arms dropped to the ground. I slowly looked down and closed my eyes.

'Is that all you're going to do? ' I heard a voice so I opened my eyes but so nothing. I looked around but don't see anyone. 'By not saving your friend, aren't you betraying your father even more?' I heard it again. "What do you know!" I shouted. 'Your father died helping others in need and sacrificed himself for those that mattered to him. That brings up the question, what does she mean to you?' I stood up and that's when I realized something I should have realized earlier. She matters to me and that's all I need to know.

I ran as if my life depended on it. I didn't stop until I saw Darkseid choking Supergirl, holding her by the throat. I felt rage as I saw what he was doing. I jumped towards him, ready to punch when out of nowhere someone lifted me in the air using some type of powers. I struggled and tried to free myself but to no success. I heard Darkseid laugh and when I looked at him I saw two figures in black robes behind him. The robes covered their entire bodies so I can't tell who they are or what they look like. One of the figure was holding out their arm I guess he was the one keeping me in the air. I then heard Batman's voice, using the earpiece to communicate with me. He proceeded to tell me the plan we were about to use. As he finished his explanation the plan was out into action.

An arrow came out of nowhere heading towards Darkseid's head. Darkseid easily caught it with his free hand which turned out to be an explosive, hitting him in the face which leads to Darkseid letting Supergirl go. As soon as Supergirl touched the ground I immediately absorbed the magic lifting me in the air effectivly dropping me. It hurt like hell but I didn't care. I released the magic and shot it towards Darkseid. Whenever I release the magic I absorbed it comes out like a beam but carrying the power of the said absorbed energy. Darkseid was pushed back until he hit the wall behind him. The flash quickly ran and scooped up Supergirl and retreated in an instant. Darkseid laughed manically. He said out loud "Get the objectives and leave. We got whatever came for." The two figures quickly took hold of an unconscious Superman and Wonder Woman and then suddenly a portal appeared behind them. They went in it along with Darkseid and the portal vansihed into thin air.

The battlefield was left with an unconscious Supergirl, disgruntled and defeated Justice League, and a tired protagonist. The atmosphere was filled with silence. No-one knew what to do next. Aquaman was the first one to talk after a long time. He started to walk towards my direction and gave me an angry look. He pointed at me and shouted "This is your fault! You should have been here days ago preparing and strategizing the fight against Darkseid but no you decided the best time to show up was literally when everyone else is weakened and tired!". I had no response. He was right, I did act selfishly. Aquaman punched me in the face. I stumbled but was able to regain my balance. "Enough!" Batman shouted loud enough for the both of us to look at him. "Fighting each other will not help bring them back" Batman continued to say. Aquaman then said "You're right, it wouldn't bring them back... but at least he'll know how stupid he was". He then gave me another punch in the face. I fell to the ground and as my face felt the cold and rough surface, my eyes began to close.
