Rise Of
The Justice League
Disclaimer: This can be considered a sequel to 'Mergence' and takes place after the 4 way crossover. Also, I own nothing but what you see here! Seems fitting this chapter would be one number away from a hundred too!
Summary: Cat Grant gives her report in the aftermath of the battle against the Dominators.
Many across the country and even some parts of the world were very curious and eager to see Cat Grant's latest 'State of the Cat' report in the aftermath of the failed invasion by a race of Aliens who for whatever reason, felt threatened by the Meta-Human population of Central City, Missouri. A population that was seeing some of its own expanding out of the city as well for that matter. Cat had announced her intentions almost immediately after the President's thank you speech to the heroes who valiantly risked their own lives to keep everyone safe from the threat of the Aliens known as the Dominators. Which had been something of a surprise to Dinah Lance! As the mother had no clue what her youngest had been up too! And seriously wanted a word with her child! Especially before it nearly got her killed like Laurel's own DA work had nearly done to her! Mari McCabe wanted to know who the heck the chick was who had her powers. Which had been a little awkward for Cisco to explain at first until Sara got on the phone with the girl and explained things.
And blowing her mind completely in the process as well. Not liking that she couldn't go into details about her past with her Grandmother but understanding it regardless. Jax's family was pretty shocked too after seeing him behind the President with odd white eyes and wanted to have a very strong word with him! Not because they were against it, but because of the fact he had never said anything to begin with. Every crook and low life in Central City however had decided that they wanted nothing to do with Lisa Snart and Mick Rory since they all felt the two had chosen to be good guys instead of staying bad and causing mayhem for the heroes during their fight with those ugly ass looking Aliens. Along with thinking Leonard Snart would be offended by the whole thing. Something a lot of them would learn the hard way wasn't the case sometime later thanks to an infuriated Lisa. And when Cat Grant's image appeared on screens everywhere, many stopped what they were doing to watch and listen to what she had to say. "Good evening or whatever you may be experiencing currently in your part of the world. I am Cat Grant with an all new 'State of the Cat' report. As many of you know, the Alien race known as the Dominators came to our world with the intention of doing away with a certain branch of the populace. For what reason is not known except to them and to those who fought them. Such as National City's very own Supergirl. Who fought alongside the likes of the Green Arrow, the Flash, the Black Canary, and so many others. Though why Superman wasn't amongst them is beyond my understanding but that's neither here nor there. To know that Supergirl and these fellow brave Heroes risked their lives to combat these invaders will allow me to sleep peacefully tonight." Here, she paused so that she could take a drink of water.
Followed by organizing her thoughts for what she wanted to say next. "The fact that the average joe and even some of National City's own Alien population fought against the Dominators on our very streets also warms my heart and gives me the comfort of knowing I can sleep easily tonight. And that my children will be safe and sound. For what these brave Heroes were willing to do, I believe not even a thousand 'thank yous' would be enough to show them our gratitude for saving our lives. No matter if said life is Human, Meta, Alien, or otherwise. Though they all may operate alone or in a group in their own city, they all came together in this crisis to our home and proved they are in a league of their own. One who protects and brings justice to those who commit great crimes. They are in my eyes… The Justice League. And I strongly believe that with them around, a good night's sleep and being around our loved ones will be assured for a long time to come. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for saving us all. This is Cat Grant with 'State of the Cat', good night everyone!"
Once the report had ended and the screens began to play something else, many were barely paying attention to their tv screens and other devices. As they were all too busy discussing what Cat Grant had said. Many of them in full on agreement about the name 'Justice League' being an appt name for a group that had risked their necks to save them from an unusual threat like those ugly ass Aliens with a weirdo grudge against Metas. Criminal organizations however definitely didn't like it since they knew if this whole Justice League thing ever gained more ground, their operations would be in danger of being stopped by them. And that was the last thing they wanted. Certain Government factions weren't necessarily too enthusiastic either but would wait and see on where the whole thing went. "Man… I can't decide if that's a worse name then 'Team Arrow'." Muttered Rene Ramirez aloud with a shake of the head.
"Considering my brother basically tries to avoid that name as much as he can, he probably would think its worse." Thea said in amusement.
"How long do you think it'd take him to get annoyed if we came up with a catchy theme for the Justice League?" Wondered Evelyn with a grin.
Who, thanks to Laurel, had NOT defected to the Dark Side thanks to the good Lawyer's impressive argument skills. Thea gained a huge grin of her own with a mischevious twinkle in her eyes as she linked her arm with the younger girl's. "Come on, let's get on that now so we can have something for him when he gets back!"
"He's gonna be so pissed!"
"Half the fun!"
Rene and Curtis watched the two girls merrily skip away to creatively put together a way to annoy ol' Hoss. "Oliver is gonna be SO pissed." Mused Curtis with a shake of the head.
"Yep. That's gonna be all kindsa fun." Agreed Rene.
He briefly wondered if Rory wouldn't mind using those rags of his to put up hidden cameras so they could record that whole thing? Nah, Rags probably wouldn't do it. Not unless it involved some kinda plan to humiliate Blondie anyway. Though Rene to himself.
As the man knew for a fact that despite the way Rags acted around Blondie in public, it was nothing more then a lie to mask how he strongly disliked her for destroying his entire home town. Though 'dislike' would be putting it mildly. Making not only Rene wonder, but also making the other newer members wonder how long it'd be before the two would come to blows over that whole situation. Bet the Cat would love that story.
"Hey, you think we got spots on this Justice League thing, man?" He suddenly wondered.
Causing Curtis to look at him strangely for a moment before really thinking about it. "Well... I guess anything's possible."
Author's Notes: Not sure this came out the way I thought of it in my head but I think it works none the less. R and R!
