Chapter XIV
Unknown location (Unknown year)
Batman is seen making his way through some tunnels with Gamora and Laura as they head to Stryker's Island. Batman informed the others what is going on with the tower and much time they have to get Jason out. He ordered Harleen to focus on keeping law enforcement busy with her clan. To cause chaos and make sure they are kept busy.
Meanwhile, the others are getting ready to make their move. Batman knew the team had to keep Superman and his forces distracted while they get Jason out.
"Batman…you ready?" Aya asked communicating with Batman through their com-link. "We're down to fifty minutes."
"We're in position. Commence assault," Batman ordered as he turns to the others. "You two ready?"
Gamora nods as she pulls out her sword. "Let's get my son back."
Stryker's Island
Meanwhile on the island Superman has assembled his army of Regime soldiers. All armed with their weapons and has his allies flying near him. All waiting for Batman and his team to show up. Every one of them ordered not to hold anything back and take no prisoners.
They see a dark cloud forming over the ocean as Arthur appeared from the water. Superman prepares to order his forces to attack when they see several large M-shape ships appear beside him.
"Attack!" Superman ordered as his men on the ground charge at Arthur and the ships.
However, giant vines appeared from the ground as they began wrapping around the men and destroying their vehicles. The ships all took off and opened fire at they begin taking down the towers and vehicles of the soldiers. Hal, Hawkgirl, Sinestro, and Black Adam all charged in to take out the ships. Arthur twirls his sword and flies up to attack Black Adam tackling him.
Meanwhile, Hawkgirl gets attacked by Rachel as she flies up to her and the two begin fighting in the air. Hal and Sinestro move their rings up to attack her, when their blasts are blocked by two green shields. They look up to see Kilowog and Arisia Rrab flying towards them both wearing their Green Lantern rings.
The Yellow and Green Lanterns soon begin fighting as on the ground the soldiers begin shooting at the vines. Trying to take them down. However, Drax, Nebula, and Mantis appeared attacking the soldiers. They are shot at, but thanks to the pills they took they are immune to the bullets as they take out the soldiers.
Superman decides to attack the ships and cut down their numbers. He uses his heat vision to take down two of them, only to find they are empty. These ships are being remote controlled. He begins looking around to see where Batman is, until he is punched in the face knocking him across the air.
He stops and looks up to see who attacked him. To his surprise the one who punched him is the Kryptonian girl who Diana told him about. She finally revealed herself. Wearing the S symbol on her uniform just like his.
"So, we finally meet. Who are you?" Superman asked wondering who this girl is.
"My name is Kara Zor-El," Kara introduced herself at last to her cousin. "And I'm your cousin, Kal."
Meanwhile
Batman leads Laura and Gamora to the back of the facility where there weren't any guards around. A good thing too since the fighting has just begun. Despite this tough Batman knew it wouldn't be this easy. Not with Superman knowing he would come for the boy.
"We're getting closer. Stay alert," Batman warned.
Laura stops them when she smelled something or someone familiar. She turns around and sees the red armored man she fought on Arkham charging at them. He kneels down as Catwoman jumps over him and attacks Batman. Wrapping her legs around him, flips backwards, and flips him over until she is on top of him.
"Gamora! Go get Jason, we got this!" Laura ordered as she extended her claws.
Gamora does so as she runs into the facility to get her son. Laura fights the armored man as he uses his staffs at her. She tries cutting through them, but finds they didn't go through. "Upgraded them. You'll need to do better than that, kid."
"Oh don't worry. I won't cut them down. I'll cut your arms off instead," said Laura as she charges at him and begins fighting the armored man.
"Hello Bruce," said Catwoman as she stayed on top of Batman without attacking him. "Still as handsome as ever."
"Save it, Selina," said Batman who didn't seem happy to see Catwoman. Not after what she did.
Catwoman begins lowering her voice not wanting her partner to hear her. "I'm sorry, Bruce…I joined him to protect you. He said if I helped find you he'd…"
Batman interrupted him. "Spare me?"
"I didn't believe him. But it bought us some time. I misdirected him…" Selina tries to explain her actions, but Batman didn't believe her.
"Small comfort for the ones who died in my place," said Batman who knew of the ones who lost their lives for him, because she ratted them out. He flips her over hard and gets up.
Catwoman however tries to stop him from going any further. "Damn it, Bruce! You have any idea what I've…you think I'm here by confidence? Let's leave. We can be free of him. Be together."
"There is no 'we' anymore," said Batman.
Catwoman feeling heartbroken for what he did backs away. "Bastard…"
"I have a job to do," said Batman as he tries to walk past her, but Catwoman pushed him back.
"So do I…" said Catwoman as she begins fighting against Batman.
She charges at him, but Batman manages to block her attacks as she tries using her metal claws to take him out. However, Batman had no time for this and knew Selina's moves. He ended this quickly as he drove his knee to get gut and drove his elbow to her face. She tried to get up, but he kicks her in the chest and hits the wall knocking her out.
"You joined the wrong side, Selina," said Batman.
Laura continued her fight with the armored man as his staffs began sending off electricity. He uses them on her, but her healing factor recovered from the attacks. She goes for several offensive, but non-lethal hits to try taking him down. But the armored man managed to dodge her attacks and even used his staffs to attack her legs to catch her off guard.
The armored man swings one of his staffs at her, but she pierced through one of them with her claws. However, this left her opened for the other as he thrusts it into her chest to send more electricity into her body. Causing her to scream a bit in pain as she fell on one knee. She managed to fight through the pain and use her free hand to flip over.
Her hand placed on the ground and lifts her left leg to extend her metal claw to slash at him. Good thing is he moved out of the way and it only slashed across his armor. Cutting through it. However, he kicks her in the face and knocks her across the ground.
He goes to finish her off, but Batman gets involved stopping him. He pushes him back and begins attacking him. Batman managed to knock away his weapon as he goes to try ending this quickly. However, the armored man uses a smoke canister to blind him.
Batman used his cape to clear the smoke, but sees he was gone. The armored figure appear from behind, but Batman could sense he was there. However, before he could take him out, Laura recovered and stabbed him in the back. Even driving both her feet claws through his legs causing him to scream in pain.
She delivers a head-butt from behind and knocks him out before pulling her claws out of him. She looks up at Batman who didn't seem to approve what she did. "Que? No esta muerto," she replied as she retracts her claws. "Who is he anyways?"
"Damian Wayne, my son," said Batman as the two make their way to the facility.
"Your son?" Laura looks back at the boy and then back to Batman. "Why did he join Superman?"
"It's a long story. I'll tell you later," said Batman as they head inside to help Gamora.
Meanwhile
The fighting continued on the other side as the Groots used their vines to attack the soldiers and are beginning to lower their numbers. Drax and Nebula knocked out many of the soldiers who tried outnumbering them. However, the two warriors were too strong and held their own. Mantis got into one of the tanks and used it to help destroy the other tanks to help her team.
Meanwhile, Arthur absorbed Black Adam's attacks and used them along with the lightning he summoned to fire the attack back at him. Adam tried blocking it, but the force of the attack sends him towards the ground crashing through it. Rachel used her mental powers to toss debris at Hawkgirl who smashes them with her mace. She tries flying towards Rachel and take her out, but she used her astral projection to trick her.
She grabs her helmet from behind and hits her with it. She then used her powers to attack her mind directly and knock her out. She is almost hit by a rocket from one of the soldiers until Megan came in. Slicing the weapon in half and lifts the tanks up before tossing them at the soldiers.
Kilowog fought against Sinestro as he was looking forward to some payback. Arisia held her own against Hal who wasn't trying to kill his former friends, but incapacitate them. Despite all instinct telling him to go all out. Since he could tell they were out for blood.
Meanwhile, Kara finished telling Superman everything. How she is his cousin, what happened to her, and how she came here looking for him. Only to be told about everything he did. All the terrible things and how she is disgusted with what he did.
"I'm sorry for not being there to help you, Kal. If I was maybe none of this would have happened," said Kara as she tries to get through to her cousin, while also buy the others time. "But it's not too late. You can give all this up and do the right thing."
"I'm sorry, Kara. But I'm afraid that's not going to happen," said Superman who was not going to change what he is doing. "Maybe in the world you lived in things are much simpler and better. But here, I tried doing things the right way and look what happened. I lost my wife, my son, and my home because I let my guard down around that madman. Well, not anymore."
"So you think murder is the right way? That just makes you the very same people you fight against," Kara argued. "You trying to justify it only supports that. That is not what the House of El is about."
"Doing things the right way achieves nothing! The only way to stop crime is to do what must be done even if others don't agree with it," said Superman who argues back against Kara. "If you really want to help me then join me. Come with me and together we will bring order to this world. We are family, Kara. You don't turn your back on family."
Kara knew that was true, but as she looks down to see her friends fighting against Superman's allies and remembering everything Jason has done for her made her resolve strong.
"They are my family and I won't turn my back on them. If you won't stop this then I will stop you myself," said Kara as she removes her cape and got ready to fight.
Superman sighed wishing it didn't have to come to this. "Very well. I guess I'll have to teach you how things work around here. Maybe then you'll see my way is the right way."
Meanwhile
Inside the facility Gamora managed to find where her son is at. She lowered the holding cell he is in and finds him against the wall unconscious. She rushes over to her son to find him covered in bruises. On his chest, arms, and on his face. She held her son close and was relieved to see he is alive.
"It's okay. I'm here," she whispered.
She should be mad at him for going off to this world without her and for getting captured. But she couldn't. After losing Peter her son is all she has left of him. She loves him and is willing to be there for him even for the mistakes he makes.
Batman arrives with Laura and sees Gamora found her son. Gamora sees him and motions for Batman to the nearby table.
"Grab his things and let's go," said Gamora as she helps her son up.
Batman goes to grab the things when he feels something is wrong. He turns around and grabs Laura's wrist as he sees her attacking him.
"Something…is…wrong…can't…fight it...stop…me," said Laura as she is being controlled by a dark purple aura.
Batman recognized this aura and knew who is controlling her. "Raven…" he flips her over as she fell on the ground, but quickly got up.
"What is going on?" Gamora asked as she sees Laura attacking Batman.
"It's Raven. She is using her demonic magic to control her," Batman explained.
"Is that so?" Gamora asked as she gives her son to Batman. "I got this," she replied as she took out her sword. "Laura, this is going to hurt, but bear with me, okay?"
Laura sees the sword and nods. She charges at Gamora, but is stabbed through the gut by the sword. Gamora pushes her to the ground and pushes her sword down on the ground pinning Laura down. This forced Raven to free the girl and appear before the woman.
"Willing to kill your ally like that. I'm surprise the boy didn't grow up to be as cold-hearted as you," said Raven who was surprised with what the woman did.
"She can heal from her injuries. So she'll be fine," said Gamora as she got into a fighting stance. "But you will pay for harming her."
"We shall see," said Raven as she used her magic to summon a dark raven made from her aura as she sends it flying at Gamora.
However, before she could get hit Batman rushed over and punched Raven knocking her out. The bird soon disappeared the moment that Raven was knocked out.
Gamora removes the sword as Laura's healing factor kicked in recovering from her wounds. "Sorry about that," said Gamora.
Laura gives her a thumbs up as Batman picks Jason up. "That was risky attacking her like that. Even if she can heal."
"Trust me. She can take the pain," said Gamora as she helps Batman with her son. "Let's get going."
Back outside Superman and Kara continued their fight as they fight over the island. Kara held her own against her cousin as she used the training she got from the heroes of the Earth back home to get stronger. However, Superman was just as strong maybe more due to him not holding anything back. Kara knew she was still holding back some of her strength, which was not the best time to do this.
Superman used his heat vision on her, which she used as well as both attacks collided. With both fighters trying to incinerate the other. During his fight with Arisia, Hal managed to knock her away and fires an attack at Kara. Hitting her from behind and caused her to fall down from the sky.
She recovered, but Superman grabs her by the neck and begins choking her. Preventing her from focusing on her attack. He then tries to use his heat vision, but attacked by Megan punching him in the face. Rachel helps catch Kara as Megan morphs into a serpent to try strangling Superman.
However, Superman goes to use his heat vision on her like he did to her cousin. She saw this coming and dodged the attack as his heat vision hits Hal who tried to attack Rachel. He managed to break free though and punched her square in the face. He goes to crush her face, but Kara uses her heat vision on him from behind freeing her friend.
"Kara! They are outside the facility. It's time to withdraw," said Aya as she contacts Kara through her com-link.
"Roger that!" said Kara as she motions for her team to help get the others.
Superman noticed this and then uses his x-ray vision to see Batman is on the island outside the building. He flies over and confronts him helping hold the boy up with Gamora and Laura by his side.
"You thought you could fool me, Bruce? Like he did?" said Superman.
"This isn't about Joker. It's about you," said Batman trying to bide time for Aya to get a lock on them to escape.
"I perfected this world. So many lives lost because I held back. When I should've used all my power," said Superman trying to justify his actions.
"For what? To control? To oppress?" said Batman as Laura and Gamora see they have no place to run since Superman is moving them near the ledge.
"I could've prevented Metropolis! Saved my family!" said Superman as his eyes began to glow.
"Crime took my family too, Clark," said Batman trying to once again get through to Superman.
"But you weren't the gun," said Superman as he prepares to use his heat vision.
"Now!" Batman ordered as all four jumped off the ledge just as Aya used the teleporter to get them and the others out.
Superman sees them all teleporting away and knew what happened. "The Watchtower…" he flies up at full speed trying to get to the tower and find who took it over.
However, as he got close to the tower he sees something was wrong. The tower soon exploded as the wave from it hits Superman and knocks him back towards the planet's orbit. He sees the tower was gone and nothing was left except for the debris. His anger began to grow from this until he hears a familiar voice calling out his name.
"Superman! Your time is over!"
