The Watchtower

The Justice League members did not know where to begin. Half of them could not of even remain sitting at the table for very long. Eyes kept gravitating toward the empty seat that usually was filled by Superman, but now left a vacancy so immense that it ripped at the seems of their existence.

BAM! "WE CAN'T JUST SIT AROUND HERE AND DO NOTHING!" Wonder Woman slammed her fist down on the table and declared what most had been thinking. Hawkman looked at Wonder Woman and gave her a diminishing look, "And what do you suppose we do?" Wonder Woman began pacing and waving her arms around with all her super strength and anger packed into it. "ANYTHING! EVERYTHING! Just something to do that will stop us from sitting around here and wallowing and thinking that Superman is dead, because we all know he can't be, its a huge mistake so we should go down there and tear off their heads for even suggesting such a thing, I mean not only that but if it is we need to start beating skulls to find out who could have done this. It must have been Luthor, I mean who else would do this at a time like this."

Wonder Woman's tirade led her to throw anything and anyone in her path away. She was making her way towards the door when Green Lantern had had enough. "DIANA!" "...and where is everybody anyway I mean in a situation like this we need everyone, call in the alternates, call Huntress, Black Lightning, maybe the Teen Titans, hell call the Wonder Twins, I don't care ..." "DIANA!" "WHAT!" "Breath okay. We will have the best look into the situation and have Lois identify that it is Superman, but you have to keep a lid on your anger if you want to be included in this as well." Green Lantern broached the subject steadily. "What do you mean?" The Amazonian woman turned a glare that Medusa would be jealous of on to him. "Well look at the destruction," he gestured broadly to the road that they had been in. The room in which previously six members had stood tall, the Flash laid knocked out on the floor, the usually emotionless martian was seemingly in the corner shaking, Green Lantern himself had a bruised face, Aquaman was getting up from underneath the table from which he had taken shelter, and Hawkman had fled at some point of her tirade.

Scanning the room, J'onn J'onzz took note of all the missing team members. It was not all together unexpected when Hawkman fled the room, unlike Aquaman he could not fit under the table to hide from Diana's wrath. But the others that had not even bothered to show up to the meeting, when something this important needed to be discussed was troublesome. Deciding to dwell on these matters at another more appropriate time, the martian reached out for Hawkman's mind to inform that Wonder Woman's distress had been curtailed. But all that was replied was "Can't come back, gotta go." After shaking through his clouded mind, J'onn looked over at what had been mayhem seconds before to see Green Lantern sitting Wonder Woman down at the table while the Flash tried to console her. "Look Diana, I mean how many times have we thought that Superman died! Too many to count I'll tell you." Wally waited for his expected laugh from Wonder Woman, but when only a blank stare was returned he grew sheepish. "What," the Flash shrugged, "It's true!" When no one intervened he marched on, "Remember how insane Batman was once, and he was all like 'He's not really dead' and we were like 'Yes he is' and when Big Blue came back weren't we all embarrassed." The Flash smiled triumphantly as if he had just won the argument that no one was having with him.

"Where is Batman?" Aquaman sounded another one of the endless questions that had been popping up into their heads all day. "I haven't heard from him since I informed him of the situation." J'onn declared to the meeting. They all looked from one to another as if searching each other for Batman. Except Wonder Woman, she sat there were a determined look on her face and half a smile, "I know where he is..."
