Chapter 19: Match.

Location: Antarctic Military Compound-Cellblock

"Ugh," Shayera said, as she came out of the black void she'd been in what to her felt like moments before.

"The traitor's awake," She heard to her left. She rolled her head towards the voice, and saw Wonder Woman chained to a wall beside her.

"What?" Shayera asked.

"Don't act innocent," Wonder Woman spat at Shayera, "A Thanagarian...you and your kind had to be involved."

"I had nothing to do with this," Shayera said.

"Enough with the lies," Wonder Woman snapped, pulling at her restraints, trying to get to Shayera.

"Leave her allow she had nothing to do with this," Flash said, from his cell.

"Open your eyes, Flash," Green Lantern said, "she betrayed us again."

"I am innocent from this," Shayera said, rising to her feet. She tried to flex her wings, but found them to be bound by a metal band.

"Lies," Wonder Woman said, and Black Canary, Fire, and Ice added their agreement.

"Since you could invade us three years ago, you decided to try again now," Mari said. Soon Zatanna, Question, and Superman were adding they thought of Shayera being a traitor.

"Enough," Batman yelled, "This is not her doing...whoever is doing this wants everyone to blame Shayera, but she is not responsible."

"So you sided with the traitor too," Wonder Woman said. Before anyone could respond, guards came into the room.

"Looks like the gang is all awake," a voice said, coming into the room. It was a fair skinned man with short black hair. He had hazel eyes and was very tall. He was average built, but it was his smile that gave him away.

"Joker," Nightwing said.

"The boy wonder...all grown up and still in daddy bat's shadow," The Joker said, dismissing Nightwing.

"But on to the one I've been dying to meet," Joker said, walking over the Shayera's cage.

"Get away from her," Flash yelled, but was ignored.

"I thought you would be taller with all the trouble you caused," Joker said, sizing up Shayera.

"And you're just as insane as I thought you would be," Shayera said.

"Don't flirt with me, darling. I'll break your heart...if you have one," Joker replied.

"Go to Hell, Clown," Shayera snapped.

"Maybe we'll see each other there. You know I was told the deepest circle of Hell is reserved for betrayers…and you're just like me now in that respect," He said, his smile seeming to double.

"I'm nothing like you," Shayera said.

"Wrong, dearie…You're a bad guy now, according to the world." He laughed even louder. "Welcome to the villain family!"

"I'm not like you," Shayera yelled.

"Keep telling yourself that, Angel," Joker said, and then came close the bars, "But we both know the truth."

"The boss wants them all moved," a guard said, coming into the room, "He has a little show for everyone to see."

The guard pressed a button and the center floor shifted, and opened to reveal and long gray platform raised from the floor. The hero watched as a holographic projection of Watchtower appeared.

"What are you doing," Vigilante asked, as he saw the Joker pulling out a remote.

"Paying you all back for the hell you put our boss through," the Joker said and pressed the button

"Mr. J'onn...we're picking something up on the scanner...and it's heading towards us fast," a tech said, to the mechanical superhuman. Red Tornado went behind the tech, and typed something into the computer, magnifying what the scanner picked up.

"It's a rocket," J'onn said, "Put shields up and start evacuating." And then turned on the intercom system, "Attention we have a class 1 threat to the Watchtower, precede to the launch pads."

"The shields won't come online, and something is locking me out of the system," the tech said.

"Same over here," another tech said.

"And here," a third tech said, "Nothing is responding."

"Thirty seconds 'til impact," one of the techs said.
