Reviews are important, and perhaps I should highlight why. Soon, a Crisis of Infinite Earths, may strike this universe and that of the other Crossoverpairing storise. Stories that aren't reviewed...well their universe's won't survive. Characters might...world not so much.
And not just the characters who've appeared in stories, characters who've only appeared in Omake's could also be caught up in the crisis.
If you want to avoid that fate...review this story. Also, the poll for rather or not it should even happen at all is currently up.
Uh, I do not like Intervention...too many people who should be getting arrested for drug abuse! ITS ILLEGAL AND THEY GET HELP! THEY DESERVE SOME TIME IN ARKHAM!
Now then...
They thought defeating Sinestro and his corps would give them a reprieve, even if it was only slight...
How wrong they were
Metropolis
Mercy Graves was Lex Luthor's premier assistant, his secretary, and often assassin.
She was capable of fighting Batman in fisticuffs, could hit a moving far ranged target with any sort of gun, and knew how to make a five course meal out of a box of goldfish and a piece of tuna.
She was coming up the elevator to her bosses office, a tray with coffee and an english muffin ready for morning at at the job for Lex Luthor.
However, as she got off on the CEO's floor, she dropped the tray in shock.
"Mercy...cough...help...me" Lex Luthor was on the ground, sweating with fever and looking dehydrated, yet not.
He was severely ill, as were the other male's of Lex Corp...
And it was similarly spreading
The Watchtower
Coughing was wide spread.
Over a dozen of the worlds greatest heroes; Batman, Aquaman, Superman...and Hawkman, were lying in a sterilized bed, a magically sealed, but air permeable, cover to try and limit contamination, while trying a full range of medical treatments as registered on Earthen, Olympian, Kryptonian, Green Lantern, Thanagarian and magical means.
Nothing...was working.
A similar scene was in the cave.
The streets of Gotham
"Its Girls night baby!" Livewire yelled as electricity surged into a ATM, causing a stream of money to fly out as she cackled to herself.
"Yeah, well its lights out for you!" a green fist smashed into the electric being, who was knocked to the ground as Miss Martian flew at her, looking exhausted.
The entire adult male population was sick, with some sort of super illness...leaving the females to run the earth.
Captain Marvel was...unaffected, as were the entire young male population below the age of 12, but as he is currently at Camp 'Run by the crazy nuns who dislike any form of communicator device older than pigeons', he has no idea of the anti male apocalypse.
Wonder Woman, who had taken temporary command of the Justice League, had the roster, now limited to herself, Hawkwoman, Black Canary, Power Girl, Rocket, Zatanna, Terra, Artemis and Miss Martian was stretched very thin.
Speaking of...
'CATWOMAN!' Megan was using her mind reading powers to try and get a grip on what happens in this crime infested rat hole (How in mars Batman and Robin kept this place somewhat functional, with more villains than the five she already took down, is beyond her)
Taking off into the air, she flew a few blocks...before landing by...(Megan was blushing the entire way as she approached the store), where the cat suit dressed was buying...well this isn't a M rated fic so I can't really say, but lets just say that you guys young, you do not want to know.
"A bit young for this establishment?" the goggled hottie purred "No wonder your green?"
Megan frowned "Why are you stealing..."
The cat lover did something in between a purr and a laugh "Ha ha...I have a receipt"
She held out the paper, which Megan telekinetically pulled over to her, and blushed, and not just for what was bought.
"Oh...sorry"
Catwoman frowned "Batman's job getting to you? Can't say I'm surprised, its a tough job..." Megan flew away, blushing so red you could have thought her as a red martian.
Catwoman laughed "Hey, its not like I said anything about what happens when a cat meets a bat in a dark alley when the Robin's away...she didn't read my mind...did she my sweet?" she asked her cat that had followed her out of the adults store.
Said cat meowed, almost in amusement
Dakota
Rocket was flying across the Midwestern City, Puff flying close behind her
"Give it up Rocket, there's a load to me made on the heads of Kobalt, Xombi and Hardware. One little girl isn't going to stop me!"
Rocket fired a blast of inertia at the acid gas spewing bang baby, who turned into a cloud to avoid it, reforming in a gas storm around the female heroine.
Rocket began to grow dizzy
"Of course, you have a sizable bounty yourself" Puff smirked...before a sound like a giant vacuum cleaner was heard.
Puff looked alarmed as a armored female on the ground began to suck her into a gas containment device, that did look like a glass vacuum.
"Technique!" Rocket yelled, it was Hardware's female...well did Hardware have any friends...
London
Giganta, the huge red haired woman in leopard like jungle cloths, was roaring as her simple attempt to steal the clock face of Big Ben, was meeting with far too much trouble.
Not only was Power Girl buzz bombing her like she was Godzilla or something, but from up on top of the clock, Black Canary was screeching at her.
Grasping her head, she wailed in agony as the sound attack caused her to stumble back, as hair suddenly grasped at her legs.
It was a golden locked heroine, the British Heroine Godiva. Of course, that was hardly going through the head of the size altering villain, for she just got a concussion from a Fish and Chip's shack.
Shanghai
Dozens of huge plant vines were ripping the Chinese city apart as Poison Ivy used more vines to repel air borne attacks from Hawkwoman, her mace slicing through any plant vine unfortunate enough to get in its range.
However, the plants were rising up faster than Miss Hawk could slice them.
However, the tide changed when green fire burst forth, coating a huge swath of vegetation in fire. The green, glowing, fiery heroine Fire began to burn down plants, while the blue parka wearing heroine Ice began to freeze more of the plants that appeared.
"HOW DARE YOU! PLANT KILLERS!" Poison Ivy shrieked "THIS PLANT KILLING NATION WILL PAY!"
"Really...this is all about deforestation...sheesh you need to chill" Ice frowned, as she waved her hand, as the Chloro-kinetic psychopathic female was trapped in a giant ice block
Amsterdam
And it wasn't just the Justice League that was busy today
Donner and Blitzen were also out and about, and were in trouble.
"Accessing, Captain Atom"
Dodging a radiation blast in the canal filled Dutch city, the two heroes were facing down an Amazo that had gotten free during transportation when the anti male plague struck.
Speeding at the robot, Blitzen was rapidly vibrating her arm to induce the 'Flash vibrating through solid objects' effect, to remove the central processor from the thing
Amazo turned to spy the speeding Japanese heroine "Accessing, Aqualad" from the canal rose a huge body of water, which formed into a hard water ball around Amazo, reducing the molecule vibration speed to stop Blizten's attack.
"Damn" She swore
"Accessing, Aqualad" and now for the second part of the water lightning combo, as electricity shot through Blitzen
"AHHHH!"
"HOW DARE YOU!" Donner yelled as she smashed at the water wall...smashing the Amazo through the chest while the lightning was attacking Blitzen, shorting it out as the robot was destroyed by the former Neo Nazi
The cave
Wonder Woman was twitching, forget Batman managing just Gotham, how did he keep such a huge group of heroes working globally, so easily...at least externally.
She preferred to go out and punch the problem, but punching the holographic earth, the holographic displays of the villains, wasn't the same.
An exhausted bunch of the Justice League and the team burst out of the Zeta beam, looking absolutely exhausted. Zatanna, Artermis and Terra had been also out on the job, but the problems kept rising out of the woodwork.
The female inmates were escaping, the doctors were overwhelmed, society was totally falling apart.
"And to think that some back home think that this is a good idea" she muttered in disdain.
"Any luck yet in figuring out the cause?" Black Canary wheezed.
Wonder Woman looked worried "I've been trying to keep on top of the chaos, I can barely think, let alone find the problem!"
"Well...at least its a full moon tonight" Artemis frowned, looking at a holo image of the moon "We should have light...WHY IS IT RED!"
The assembled heroes then took notice of that very fact...the moon was red. None of them had been in any night time area during their fights, time zones and difficulties made it so they only saw the sun, this was the first time any of them saw the moon.
"That's...not good" Power Girl frowned
Wonder Woman was alarmed "Dear Hera..."
Terra frowned "Wait, you have an idea know?"
Wonder Woman looked grave "Its the work of Artemis..."
"HEY!" the archer yelled
"Not you...the Goddess. History is repeating itself, but this time...the solution to the last time is the problem"
"Last time?" Miss Martian said alarmed
Wonder Woman was grave "Her son has been captured."
New characters
Catwoman; Ultra sexy pin up villainous, one of Batman's lover types...and a truly gray character in the Black and White world of comics
Technique; A Milestone heroine who appears in the New 52 comic Static Shock #6 for recent info, she has a power suit like Hardware and once beat him up (A humility lesson for Hardware)
Giganta; A size altering villaness, who is some sort of gorilla, human...you know I don't really know, and probably don't want to know
Godiva; A super haired heroine, you might have seen her as a member of the Justice League International in the New 52
Fire; The Brazillian Pyrokinetic...
And Ice; The Scandanavian Cryokinetic, but unlike Mr. Freeze, a heroine. You rarely see one without the other, and that includes in the New 52, as teammates to Godiva.
And why are two Moon Heir characters in this story? Well...they aren't really them, they are just alternate versions.
