And Injustice For All 2
Chapter 37: Rage
Williams, Arizona
Population: 3,023... and dropping
A family was sleeping but then they woke up, not realizing what was going on. They were making their escape, but Amazo immediately wiped out the small town.
Meanwhile, in Gotham, Brother Eye was activated, waking up both Bruce and Selina, who was staying the night with him.
"I am sorry to disturb you, Miss Kyle."
"You know, I don't have a lot of inhabitions, Bruce, but I'd say it's common courtesy to let a lady know she's being watched by artificial intelligence."
"You set me to monitor for large groupings of death."
"What happened?" asked Bruce.
"I don't know. My coverage is still limited. I orbited over to Arizona and the residents in a remote town of Williams are deceased. No disasters have been reported. No gas. No radiation."
*I'll investigate."
"Want me to come," asked Selina.
"Would you mind staying here? This isn't me trying to protect you."
"You want me to stay with Alfred?"
"He's scattered."
"I'll hold the fort then."
Batman flew to Arizona.
"Batgirl. Plastic Man."
"Luke, have ever been to Arizona," asked Plastic Man.
"Leave your son out of this."
Batman wandered in to a wasteland that used to be Williams. Batgirl teared up.
"Who could have done this?"
"That's why we're here to find out."
"I see a lot of burns, a lot of blunt force trauma, but I see no footprints other than the victims."
"Found something!" Plastic Man shouted.
"What did you find?"
"A puppy?"
"Only the people were dead. The animals, the environment, everything else is intact."
"That seems to be the case." Chris and Melody arrived, obviously oblivious to the situation.
"What are you doing here?" asked Batgirl.
"We received a report about... this," said Chris.
"This was Ra's."
"Perhaps," said Batman.
"But what could do this?," asked Melody.
"It had to be a metahuman."
"But there's nothing here," Chris interjected. "No DNA in the dead."
"Even Superman leaves something behind."
"Why here then?"
Gorilla City
"It was remote," said Ra's, walking with Solovar and Fake Batman. "Easy to hit for a trial run."
"But why those people, Ra's," asked Fake Batman. "All the other targets made sense. They were acting in destroying the planet. They had crimes to answer for."
"Innocent will die," said Solovar. "And the world be saved because of it. It's late in the day to be developing a conscience."
Williams, Arizona
"I've seen enough. Whatever this is, it's formidable. We need to call everyone together," said Batman.
"For what?" Chris wondered.
"I'll explain on the way back."
Batman, Batgirl and Plastic Man left in Batman's plane. Chris and Melody left in their chopper. There was a cat that survived the incident last night. Suddenly, a red ring appeared.
"Dex-Starr of Earth. You have much rage in you. Welcome to the Red Lantern Corps."
