Author's notes: The title symbolizes the ''answers that cause more questions'' scenario. Because, even thought there is action here, this is more build up. However, this chapter starts the tie-in with the Hereafter story. I leave the manual how it works down there.

''Can someone explain to me why an outsider and not a ministry Auror came to tell me about a Death Eater attacking muggles in America?!''

Everything that was going on in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement break-room was stopped by that sentence. The Head Auror Potter had barged in and immediately used his authority to get everyone's attention. The Aurors and other workers stopped what they were doing and stood up to face the Head Auror and Superman following him. As no one could answer, either because they didn't know what he was saying or because Superman's appearance, Potter continued on his inquiry.

''I was just informed by this man about a Death Eater attacking a known muggle in Gotham, USA, and I want to know why we didn't know about it.''

''There hasn't been any known incidents we have gotten here,'' Hermione Granger said stepping out of the crowd. ''And why is Superman here?''

''He came to me about this,'' Harry said giving Hermione the Daily Planet newspaper.

She read the article from start to finish, before turning to Superman.

''Where is the Death Eater now?''

''He died in the free fall,'' Superman answered. ''Batman has the remains secured in his cave.''

''And what about Bruce Wayne?''

''He is in the Justice League's protection,'' Superman continued. ''The public doesn't know anything about magic being involved and they only see Wayne's assailant as some assassin. And Wayne himself just cares that he is in the company of the League's... female members. You don't have to worry about what he know about magic being involved with the attempt on his life.''

''London, huh,'' Cyborg said tracking the signal of Superman's communicator. ''Are you sure we can do this?

''I would like to see them first rather than let them see us'' Batman said looking at the holographic map above the table. ''Can you pin point where in London he is?''

''Somewhere off Trafalgar Square,'' Cyborg said triangulating the origin of Superman's comm. ''Between Whitehall and Great Scotland Yard.''

Batman narrowed his eyes as he remembered what was in that location he had broken into during the Zero Year with Zatanna and the Justice Society. She seemed to also recognize it and shared a glance with Batman.

''Ministry of Magic,'' Zatanna said in displeased voice. ''The British one.''

''There are others?'' the Flash asked.

''I looked into them after Batman and I had our break-in there after Riddle's death,'' Zatanna said, raising her arm at the hologram and casted a spell. ''EHT SEIRETINIM FO CIGAM FO RETHO SEIRTNUOC RAEPPA NO ETH PAM!''

X-marked spots appeared on the hologram map in the location of Andorra, Burkina Faso, Bulgaria, Germany, New Zealand and Norway.

''It appears to be America is Ministry free,'' Aquaman said noticing how few spots there were. ''And so is most of the world.''

''But there are enough bases for them to appear threatening,'' Batman said focusing on the numbers. ''Superman knows people on Britain and perhaps the personnel has changed since the Zero Year.''

''But suspect that there can still be rotten apples in their basket?'' the Flash asked, gaining glares. ''What? Doesn't anyone use that phrase anymore?''

KA-BOOM!

Suddenly, and surprisingly, there was an explosion in the Watchtower. The windows broke sucking the air out to the vaccum of space and making vocal communication, like Zatanna's spell-casting, momentarily impossible. The Element Woman begun to use her powers to try and create a breathable atmosphere and the Flash using his speed to spread it through out the Watchtower.

''Our systems have been hacked!'' Cyborg yelled as soon as it was possible to speak again. ''The Watchtower is falling of the orbit and the alarms were shut from seeing us being attacked!''

''We don't know who is attacking us!?''

''NO!'' Cyborg yelled as an answer.

''Good! I wanted to leave as soon a I could anyway!''

Those Justice Leaguers who had not yet realized it during them trying to keep the Watchtower from falling down to Earth turned to the direction of the voice and saw one of their adversaries standing near the broken windows holding unconscious Batman.

''You actually should keep this on,'' Lobo said putting the re-breather on Batman's belt on his face.

''Lobo!'' Wonder Woman yelled pulling out her sword.

''Sorry, I can't stay for long!'' the Czarnian bounty hunter yelled jumping on his space hog and strapped Batman on it's back. ''The Main Man is on a job!''

Lobo left as soon as he had arrived, with Batman tied to his bike. Wonder Woman and Zatanna, the only ones who could fly, were about to go in pursuit, but the Cyborg stopped them.

''NO! WE NEED YOU TO SAFE THE WATCHTOWER'S FALL!'' Cyborg yelled at them while creating a Boom Tube. ''I'LL SEND OTHERS OFF AND CALL SUPERMAN!''

''Does the League know what the Death Eater wanted from Wayne?'' Hermione asked leading Superman to a conference room. There was a large table similar to the round one in the Watchtower and waving her wand Hermione brought perghaments of records to the table.

''Nothing else, but that he was to be assassinated,'' Superman told looking at the records, that were about the recent Improper Use of Magic, Misuse of Muggle Artifacts and other departments about illegal magic uses. ''Batman conducted the autopsy on the Death Eater and as I told Harry, it had been operated with gene splicing.''

''What is gene splicing?'' Hermione asked.

''It's when you take two breeds and mix them together,'' Superman answered showing prints Batman had given him. ''The Death Eater was one of those that had been sent to US during Voldemort's reign and taken out by Batman.''

''Batman?''

''One of my closest allies and the smartest man I have ever met,'' Superman said showing the pictures of Owl-like dressed figure. ''This is a picture of one of the Talons of the Court of Owls. These are what someone had tried to splice with that Death Eater.''

''What can you tell us about these Talons?'' Harry asked. ''Or about the Court of Owls?''

''According to Batman the Talons work as enforcers for the Court,'' Superman said as Ron entered the Room. ''Hey, good to see you too. The Court dates back to the early 1800s and the Talons are just as old due to some form of suspended animation. The serum used to do it, also has some kind of steroid that gives them ability to survive any kind of death scenario.''

''Including the Killing Curse?'' Ron asked.

''Not that we know of, this one died falling of the Wayne Tower,'' Superman answered showing the Daily Planet the inside article with the picture of the Death Eater's remains laying on a car with Bruce Wayne, Wonder Woman and some muggles standing next to it. ''But it still could fight without it's wand. Remember how I used to just disarm the Death Eaters we fought in Hogwarts? That fault they had, is now fixed due to gene splicing them with the Talons.''

''That is alarming,'' Hermione said reading the inside article. ''So, why was it after Bruce Wayne?''

''We don't know, but Batman has some theories-'' Superman suddenly stopped talking and put his hand on his ear. ''What is it, Cyborg?''

''WATCHTOWER IS UNDER ATTACK!'' could be heard from Superman's ear and he turned to look up.

''Do you have a ceiling exit installed?''

Well, that was easy. The old man in suit walked out of the elevator from the Department of Mysteries carrying what he had taken from there in a dentist's bag. Cheaking the time from his wrist watch, he concluded that his accomplice had done her job and got the confirmation seeing the Man of Steel himself flying above him towards the exits.

''At this point, I assume you have been evacuated,'' the old man said tapping his ear.

''Just got teleported,'' the voice said in his ear.

''The Alien just flew out and I have what I came here for,'' the old man said checking the time again. ''And I left something down there that has about-''

''You mean this?''

The old man stopped as his sentence was stopped. He turned around and saw man he had planned to leave as scapegoat. He was holding the bomb the old man had left down to the Department of Mysteries.

''You know, mate, when I came here, I was looking for the library,'' John Constantine said extending the bomb at the old man. ''Unfortunately, the books were too vague and they too many pictures with too little information. So my lack of attention caught this ticking near trail of flammables.''

The old man didn't respond but stood facing Constantine. Instead he took another glance at his watch. Using the silence created between them, he noticed the Aurors walking outside the hearing range and broke the silence by calling them.

''THIS MAN HAS A BOMB!'' the old man yelled pointing his walking stick at Constantine and the Aurors ran to them.

''Whot?!'' Constantine said confused and outraged, holding the bomb as it was shown and seen by the Aurors.

''Petrificus Totalus!'' the Aurors spelled at Constantine, who stiffed and fell to the ground.

Perfect, the scapegoat had been petrified and he couldn't defend himself. The old man congratulated the Aurors for their timing and took their thanks for noticing and bravely confronting the scapegoat.

''Levicorpus!'' the Aurors hexed Constantine to float. ''We'll take him to the holding area. Thank you again, Mr. Pennyworth.''

''Oh, yes, just doing my civic responsibilities,'' the old man said waving to them again before leaving and tapped the name-tag in his chest. Thanking his luck for saving it, the old man walked away as quickly as he could to the Atrium and out of the Ministry.

Superman flew up to the orbit where he could see the Watchtower falling down to Earth. Using his vision he saw it's fall had been slowed down by Wonder Woman and Zatanna. Too bad the Green Lanterns were in deep space on their business with the Guardians of the Universe. Still, if the fall of the Watchtower could be turned into a slowed down landing and not cause huge damage hitting the surface, that the League could also control to land somewhere safe.

''ORBIT DOESN'T COUNT ON EARTH, SUPES!''

That was Lobo. Lobo just speeded past Superman on his space hog. Had it been him who had attacked the Watchtower and-

''Bruce?'' Superman said seeing Batman tied to Lobo's bike. And that was when two things clicked in Superman's mind. Wizards he had met in his late teens and Lobo's appearance, with the direction of where Lobo was riding towards on Earth.

''Cardiff.''

Author's notes: Okay, here is how the canon works. Next chapter has the Hereafter ended from Justice League's point of view. Hereafter happens in Hereafter. Batman's point of view starts in chapter 5 Trinity and Justice League's point of view starts in chapter 6 Into the Multiverse. That is what happens next to the Justice League with this Lobo-element. But as I said, the next chapter of this story has Hereafter's events happened to the Justice League and they have moved on back to what they are working on with what is happening here.

Also, about the location of the Ministry of Magic, I actually had to Google the filming locations to have some places where Cyborg tracks it to be. Anyway, be expecting a familiar unexpected face from Harry's past in the next chapter.

Nomad-117: The gene splicing was only a part of the plan. As was framing John Constantine for the theft committed by the old man in the Ministry.

Miss Singing in the Rain: You have read Hereafter. You know where this is going.

Bullock and Montoya are good cops, the old man and his accomplice are villains. And the actors on my cast-list don't match with either of them, except Michelle Rodriguez. And yes, Xena is as much of a copy of Wonder Woman as much Guardians of the Galaxy is a ripoff from Suicide Squad(I can PM you why).
