The Doomsday Sanction
"Spoken like a true Justice Lord."
Even hours later, Clark's ears still burn from the quiet, lethal rage in Bruce's voice.
It's not true, he keeps telling himself. He's not turning into a Justice Lord. He keeps assuring himself Bruce's just upset because he won't be patrolling Gotham for a good month or two.
That reasoning grows hollower whenever Clark thinks about it.
"I'm not becoming like him. I'm not." He will never resort to murder, won't start down that treacherous path. He swears it.
Though, remembering the condemnation in Bruce's eyes, Clark begins to wonder if he already has.
Shayera didn't take part in banishing Doomsday, refused to have any hand in it. She hears of Batman's accusations against Superman, and Shayera's certain she made the right choice. Events are spinning out of control, and acting like this will only make things worse.
She hasn't returned to the Justice League just to see it fall because of hubris. She's remained wary of making any decisions that exceed their authority. Her friends' actions do not just remind her of the Justice Lords. They remind her of her Hro's choice to sacrifice Earth.
No, Shayera won't fall back into that pit.
