One last drop
(Q narrating) "Now that we are in the brink of extinction, they see their bad ways had leaded them, their fears have brought out a bigger monster…themselves.
They are calling for a miracle. Aren't they? But we say "No." they had a choice, all of them. They could have followed in the footsteps of good men and righteous men. Decent men who believed in a day's work for a day's pay. Instead they followed the droppings of lechers and warmongers and didn't realize that the trail led over a precipice until it was too late. Don't tell me they didn't have a choice. Now the whole world stands on the brink, staring down into bloody Hell, all those liberals and intellectuals and corporate CEO's... and all of a sudden nobody can think of anything to say.
New York, Ground Zero
-We have to move out – John Stewart thunderous voice resounded in the battlefield. The body was certainly broken but the spirit remained strong within him.
The heroes were trying to open wide to cast a Web in order to contain this ferocious monster, they have to protect Superman and gain some time.
-No we can't wait, we have to attack! - Batman responded with confidence.
-Are you crazy? - John responded is disbelieved.
The "Batman" didn't even look back, he jumped towards that monster…. it looked like a cartoonist on "crack" drawing a 1998 Sammy Sosa cartoon…. He was too strong, too big…like an overgrown kid with a small frame…it used to have ears…now two holes fills up the space…. It wasn't only grotesque but so powerful that it mere presence was menacing.
-Please tell me that was a rhetorical question? - The Flash asked John.
-What…What did I said? - John responded trying to summon enough power to use the ring.
-My friend you have lost way too much blood- The Flash replied….he looked straight ahead…and then move John out of harm's way, A half ton of cement and steel was thrown into the spot they were standing.
-General!-The Batman screamed trying to get his attention….the "monster" was holding an iron bar that weighted over 500 pounds… he swing at the Batman who duck and then jump and used all his body weight to press the monster against the ground…he failed…. That took him by surprise, the monster was even denser than Superman…the surprise made him miss a split second and he was thrown into a nearby building crashing against a window…. A one inch thick glass cracked under Batmen back….he didn't move or groan when he landed, it was like the sound of his shattering bones mirrored the last hope of redemption of this sorry bunch.
Washington, D.C
-Mr. President we have to act now…this has gone way put of control- The Chief of Staff of the President voice was calm.
-What do you want to do General…nuke them? - The President's voice
-We are 1 hour too late for that Mr. President….Superman already leveled parts of New York….we should call DEFCOM 1.-the General concerned was genuine.
-Already- The president didn't believe what was happening….everything has turned to shit….he walked around dancing with the horrible idea, projecting in his mind every possible outcome, like every resourceful politician he was trying to see how to play it but things have change… he can't pin the problem on the Russian or the communist…God how I miss the cold war.
-Remember 9/11? …this is far worst- The General's voice now was determined.
-Go for DEFCOM 1 protocol…evacuate the city, clear the hospital, open the shelters- The President was giving others….that calmed him a little bit. Prepare for some loses Gentleman….New York is a big City- he added with a worried tone.
-There is one last thing- The general's voice was now more cautious.
-I know…level the city with SABOT round if you have to- The President knew that his days in office were numbered.
-OK Mr. President- The General quickly grabbed the phone and with a neutral tone… does it!
At the same time….a digital clock appeared on the room signaling 5 minutes backwards.
For the first time in his life the president wished that Hell didn't exist, so he could finally have some rest.
New York (T-minus 5:00)
The monster quickly dispatch the Green Arrow and Flash and kept walking toward Batman who was lying motionless in the floor, the Monster was walking towards a pattern, he was not like Doomsday or Capt. Marvel, he had a plan, We can't just figure it out just yet….Q grabbed an M-16 and started shooting towards the Monster, the result was minimal if any, they is a sense of awe when you're best efforts amount to nothing, If I wasn't crazy already, despair would have creep inside my head.
Q had an idea, something too risky and crazy, his kind of thing…he came to a nearby Jeep and John quickly followed him, he then told him to wait a minute...he grabbed a Swiss knife and got under the hood to sever the gas line…. They were going to use the car as a bomb. They looked at each other with the utmost respect.
-Let's do this, hopefully this will clear the memory of the JLA- John told Q,
-We stood up for his country, John. Never let anyone retire us. Never cashed in on our reputation. Never set up a company selling posters and diet books and toy soldiers based on our self. Never became a prostitute. If that makes him a threat, you might as well call me a threat, too. - Q replied sounding as crazy as usual.
-Let's screw this monster- John quickly put the medal to the medal throwing the Army jeep like a burning comet into the atmosphere.
-Yes…and fuck Baskin Robbins- Q's voice sounded almost cheerfully.
