And Injustice For All 2
Chapter 29: Beyond Kahndaq, Pt. 2
Kahndaq
"You ok?"
"Damian, I thought Black Adam confined you to your room," said Kara, seeing Damian standing on her bedroom window at night.
"He did. There was a door with a lock and everything. Have you seen anything outside of Kahndaq?"
"No."
Damian gave her his bat mask.
"Well, hide your face. It's time you left your tower."
"I can't..."
"Do you always do what you're told?"
"I can't leave."
"Well, then someone will have to catch me."
Damian jumps out the window. Kara put on the mask, flew down and caught him. They both landed hard, skidding along the ground.
"I thought you could fly."
"Yea, I get that. You ok?"
"A bit bruised, but at least you're out of the tower. Come on. You need to see what this world has to offer."
"How?"
"We'll fly, but we'll go slow. And not falling out of high places."
Damian and Kara flew into the night. They flew over the oceans and, a football field.

"What happened here?"
"It's a civil war. I think. But really it's one power-hungry despot with a lot of wealth and weapons, and he's fighting a poorer group, made up of zealots who are more than willing to die for what they believe. And then there are a whole lot of people who want to live caught in the middle."
"Why are you showing me this?"
"Because of who you are. Who you could be. The difference is you could..."
Before Damian could finish, a chemical weapons exploded on the street. Soon gas mask wearing soldiers aimed their guns at him and a few other people. They opened fire. But Kara got into the line of fire and blocked the bullets with incredible speed. Angered, she used super breath to blow them away. She then stopped Damian who was punching a downed soldier.
"Stop! I didn't want to..."
"Just following orders right?"
"You have new orders," said Kara. "You will leave and never return. This place is under our protection. If you enter here again, you will face is!"
They both returned to Kahndaq.
"Did you like saving lives?"
"Yes."
"Me too."
"What is it?" She could sense something was wrong.
"Were going to kill millions of people."
"What?"
"My grandfather believes it's the only way to save the world."
"And what do you believe?"
"With Superman, your cousin, there were times I felt we went too far, but... I knew we were doing the right thing, what's best for the world. Now, I'm worried I'm like that soldier, following orders. Reminds me of that other soldier I met, him and that woman..."
"Do you always do what you're told?"
"I'm... not a good person..."
"Nonsense."
"You don't know me."
"Your grandfather wants to kill millions. Batman, he's pure evil as I understand it. Your mother?"
"Assassin."
"Of course. But I've known you for less than a day, and in that time you were willing to sacrifice yourself for a stranger. You don't have to go back to them."
"She's right." Black Adam appears before them.
""What?"
"Stay here. Help Kara. You are an expert in stealth and deception. We could your skills for what we are about to attempt."
"What's that?"
"We are going to infiltrate Themyscira. We are going to free Wonder Woman."
